I think there’s a Full Monty joke in here somewhere, but can’t quite uncover it.

I’m not saying I feel the same way about Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville, but it did take me way longer than it should have to clock they were not the same person. Like years after I moved to the UK (which was after their playing careers were over).

At some level, I understand that Pat McAfee, Clay Travis and Dave Portnoy are all different people, but I steadfastly refuse to tell them apart because that would involve having to don a welder's mask and sit through some White Hot Sports Takes.

I’m not a mega-brain political strategy genius, but the Tories stridently and vocally taking unpopular positions (more austerity! less compassion! climate change good!) seems like a party really committed to locking up 4th place at the next general election. Big ups to them, I guess.

Seeing some “well, what did people expect posts?” in response to this. Just a reminder that it can simultaneously be true that (a) people expected it to be very bad, and (b) it is worse than what was expected.

Has Trump’s second term posed a greater or lesser threat to the rule of law than you expected? Circular graph showing over half answered: much more than I expected, about a quarter: more than I expected, about an eighth: similar threat to what I expected, small sliver: much less threat than I expected.

As far as failed tech bro product launches go, the Meta AI steak sauce “wifi” fail still not in Cybertruck smashed windows territory. Though how well the product does once released feels like it might be really similar.

And I’d worry about the consistency of the sauce. Probably want something emulsified like an aioli or mayo more than a really wet sauce. Not sure what demo would have done in this score, but seemed a very liquid direction. (Some people love soggy French dips or Chicago Italian beefs.)

Regarding the Meta AI product demo fail, I have a food question about the setup. Is a Korean inspired sauce to put on a steak sandwich even a good idea? (Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Korean flavors.) But wouldn’t it make more sense to have marinated the beef and cooked it with the sauce?

£4-6 is a very reasonable guide. Depends on what store and what options in the meal deal.

Of course it was intentional! Russia is always testing NATO defenses.

Last night in Poland we saw the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began, and indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental.

I am in contact with NATO Secretary General Rutte and Poland FM Sikorski.

The EU stands in full solidarity with Poland. (1/2)

“Hurling as deontological metaphor for modern life”

Did I do that right?

FWIW, the APSA jobs list is not quite as bleak.
