I rarely watch documentaries.
For some reason though, my podcast diet is all non-fiction, NEVER fiction.

The amount of people I know wanting to make a living from being an author makes me think there a lot of people who don’t realise how few authors make a living from being an author.

Every opposition player should take it turns after the game in going up to Guardiola, putting their arm around him and very aggressively give him their opinion. Every game.

I was kinda nervous about giving this speech TBH. I don't usually get nervous about public speaking but going to a fancy Washington DC event and talking about fascism and why AI sucks felt like a lot honestly. I was so relieved people seemed to like it.
So I was invited to accept an award for "imagination in service to society." This forced me to think a bit about what "imagination," "service" and "society" mean to me.
Here's the speech I delivered last night:

They should do the World Cup like the FA Cup.
All 211 international teams in a pot and draw out randomly.
Start on 1st Jan and then play games throughout year ending in early December. Final in different country each year.
Once you’re out, you plan your other boring friendlies.

BBC Manchester had a story up about cheats getting (rightfully) busted in a pub quiz.
This, however, was not a good example of clear cheating evidence.
