Curtis Jones - 6
Tried to slow the pace down and add some much needed composure to the game. Hard to do when the ref has got a camera sticking out of his chest and he looks like he’s playing Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64.

As part of my new book on the Kennedy assassination, I’m writing a “Where were you?” chapter. I’m after interesting stories from people about what they were doing when they heard about the assassination. Reply here or DM me.

I realise most of you are ineligible, due to age, so RTs appreciated.

George recorded my voicemail at the Ray of Hope launch in 2008. ‘Not answering this phone is number 5, Karl Coppack.’

My mates rang me constantly the next day to hear it.

Following our joint open letter on the 2025 Carabao Cup Final, 🆘 & @nufctrust.bsky.social met with the EFL and @thefsa.bsky.social to discuss ticketing, pricing & kick-off times.

Major finals should work for match goers, not just broadcasters.

Liga F to implement challenge-only video review system - this has the potential to be superior to VAR as implemented IMO. Hopefully it proves itself as that buff.ly/zAuSbIP

Authors going on socials to say thanks for their PLR statement are a reminder that - despite what the likes of Zuckerberg say - people’s work is worth something, and that if you pay micropayments to creators, it makes a huge difference to their viability. Because lots of us don’t earn all that much.

1/3 I am in Kenya and tried out M-Pesa for the first time. The big deal about M-Pesa is inclusion. We were in a restaurant and in the alley alongside a street food vendor had a stall. That one person business was cashless and, I presume, unbanked.
January 12, 2025 at 6:24 AM
2/3 My experience has been flawless. Not only do I have a record of every transaction, I also have mobile numbers of those I dealt with P2P (M-Pesa is based on airtime credit). The solution is also available in Tanzania, South Africa, Ghana, and Egypt.

3/3 If you are visiting any of these countries and would like to see what a cardless and unbanked economy might look like I recommend trying their version of M-Pesa.

Requirements: 1. Mobile with a free SIM slot. 2. Local SIM registered to the service. 3. Funding for your opening balance.

Elon Musk, owner of X, tweeted that Home Office Minister Jess Phillips "deserves to be in prison" and labelled her a "rape genocide apologist"

This is the type of radicalised content that socialises people towards violence against Ministers and MPs

Days after calling for X posts to be "more positive", Musk has dubbed Jess Phillips a "rape genocide apologist".

Company established by Musk in the UK 3 weeks ago on December 12th!! Why we wonder!!

Pull your finger out @uklabourparty.bsky.social, grow some balls and stop even more "corruption" destroying what's left of our democracy

Right now you have a majority the likes of which you might never see again
This is important.
'We don’t know what that company is for but if Musk did want to pour £100m into the next UK election, as it’s been reported, this is how he could do it.'

As this seems like a sane place… it would be nice to add 1 or 2 new contributors to our TAW stable. We could do with a couple more who are available in Liverpool city centre during normal office hours. If you fancy a go give me a shout. I am on [email protected]
