An analysis of BBC news coverage over the last 4 years shows a shameless bias against Vladimir Putin, with BBC reporters insisting on calling the Special Military Operation in Ukraine “an invasion”

A nice trip to the Action today. One light-up collar for the dog and two sets up light-up reflective armbands for the kids. Using USB-C now, rather than Micro-USB. Even better, they're actually following the USB-C specification so I can use my power delivery chargers. About time!

Liverpool losing. Seven minutes injury time. The referee played OVER ELEVEN MINUTES.
You could make the case for adding an extra two minutes but over four? No chance. Thankfully, it didn't work. Well played Brentford!

Well, it's nice to see another game where giving Liverpool a large amount of injury time backfired 😂

An article on BBC Sport about Arsenal's penalty being overruled by VAR even though replays showed that Pope got a touch on the ball.
No article about VAR refusing to intervene on that blatant handball for #nufc though. Funny that.

Watching the #F1 is handy sometimes. Just shouted upstairs to the wife, "it's raining at Zandvoort, I'll keep an eye out for the washing!" 😂

They win that game if Isak takes a penalty.

Man Utd are about to spend another 80M on Sesko, but haven't got any European Football & felt the need to sack 250+ staff less than 3 months ago.
But Newcastle & Villa are limited by FFP as we wish to progress. 🤦🏼♂️

Nobody wants Nicolas Jackson. He's not a good striker and gets needless red cards. Nowhere near worth the price tags that have been reported.
This window has been one of the worst for fake stories fed by agents of players #nufc

⚔️ Newcastle increased Sesko offer in battle with #MUFC
👀 Whoever misses out may need alternative
🇸🇳 High among remaining options is Nicolas Jackson
💰 #CFC not desperate to sell

If companies are willing to exploit artists by using AI to generate content a human has to be hired to fix, you can and should upcharge exploitative rates to correct their mistakes. 👍
I took @mitchyd.bsky.social ‘s great advice and updated my consulting rates. If I’m having to clean up scripts spat out by AI, or fix a story you generated with AI, I charge 300% my normal rate and get a full writing credit 😇
Just added this to my game trailer consulting page because it's already exhausting trying to figure out if a project that comes my way uses genAI.
I'm sure some will still come my way, but I'm doing whatever I can do to minimize it 😑

Final against one of the teams we've had the worst record against in past twenty years too
With three of our absolutely best players injured

The run...
Beat Nottingham forest on pens
Beat chelsea 2-0
Beat Brentford 3-1
Beat Arsenal 4-0 over 2 games
Beat Liverpool 2-1
That's all 4 of the current top 4 teams in the Premier league we have beaten to win the cup. Doesn't get harder than that.
