As Jim Ratcliffe plots a bid for Man United, things are about to get weird.

If you thought Wout Weghorst was a rogue signing, wait til you see the bunch of misfits he bought for Nice.

From drunken car chases to bulging brie bellies, welcome to the Ragtag Riviera...

@Sharlene_Gandhi @Elias_Jahshan @MaqamBooks Heck yeah

I have seen (on a train platform in January I'll add) a chap go to play a forward defensive only to turn it into a stylish leave as he didn't want to be playing at the width of the imaginary ball.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

Over 30 million views for @Cristiano’s arrival tweet.

Salma al-Shehab's sharing of tweets critical of the kingdom received 34 years in prison.

Salma's vision of a rights-respecting Saudi Arabia & world cost her liberty & most of her young life.

Forsyth was Sunak's best man & his children's godfather. They went to a fee-paying school together. He wrote fawning columns in the Spectator, Sun, Times & Mail. He is married to Allegra Stratton, editor at BBC & ITV before being Boris Johnson's press secretary. British politics!

In 1977, media prophet Marshall McLuhan discussed CIA and FBI surveillance, and then turned it into one of the most mind-bending riffs on identity in the digital age I've ever heard.

Early this morning, Elon Musk used his private jet like a taxi to hop around Los Angeles, emitting about as much CO2 as an average American produces in a year.

Ridiculous how elite footballers are being harassed during the crowning and most emotion-filled moment of their careers by egomaniacs who have absurdly been granted access all areas treatment through the nepotism of FIFA's president.

[Will Pearson @quillpearson]

More details expected next week, but the drop-in is going ahead without municipal funding.

Lately, I've been reflecting that city hall and city council simply aren't the vectors of power that we need to be focussing on to make change. I think this story illustrates that.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

[Dan Morrison @5050Morrison]

This is brilliant

I guess it would be remiss of me not to suggest my book “1312: Among the Ultras” as a Christmas present, on today of all days…

just liked finding this guy manning a checkpoint thousands of miles from home and his thoughts - "I really need to get home and watch the highlights" - are basically the thoughts of everyone in every job everywhere

Ismaïla Sarr's goal celebration for #SEN in this World Cup has gone unreported. Sarr is covering his eyes and pointing a finger to his head, imitating a gun. It is symbolic of the world's disregard for ongoing atrocities in Africa, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In honour of Christine McVie, here is the perfect Fleetwood Mac joke from Flight of the Conchords.
