@alex_crook And why are they selling their best players? Because of completely arbitrary financial rules whose only outcome is to further entrench the super league six. Newcastle being punished for daring to challenge.

@tmorello The same thing happens when ultra right wingers invoke Orwell/1984.

-Oh, Lisa, there's no record of a hurricane ever hitting Springfield.

-Yes, but the records only go back to 1978, when the Hall of Records was mysteriously blown away.

@blinkist Imagine thinking you could stop being “boring” by reading a fcuking list.

Paper found that:

1) People believe that cynical people - who believe that human behaviour is guided by self-interest - are smarter than others.

2) In fact, cynical people are less smart than others

A heroic effort from a limited footballing side and Slovakia weren’t bad either

@ConnlaLyons That’s a really interesting way of looking at it.

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.

It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman, Tommy Robinson and the entire Right.

@dieworkwear Come for bad guys getting owned, stay for fantastic forensic fashion detail. Derek Guy is master of the thread in both senses.

Man with curls, "We look at taxation negatively. If you increase tax you go, this must be bad" #BBCQT

"But surely the question should be the use of our taxes. So if I had to pay £20 more tax but my energy bills or my transportation bills were reduced, surely that's what we should be looking at?"

"Rather than saying we need to keep cutting taxes, I'm fine paying more, if I got more from it"

@whishtnatasha Yeah but is this not cos guest rapper is talking about his lived experience and Albarn is a white minted superstar who can’t possibly relate and wisely does not try to?

Dublin, 1989. I still think today is the best time in fashion but I miss how subcultural groups used to have much more distinct modes of dress and you could tell someone's interests, hobbies, and music taste from their clothes.

For anyone who has been interested in my lawsuit against the Sun, the news is that  I’ve had to settle my claim out of court before it gets to trial. A 🧵…

@FabrizioRomano @RisingBallers_ The power of relentless cheating across many, many years. Congrats!

This is a very important thread.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Nowadays, when you discuss the far right, people insist “That’s not far right!”.
Folk who have plainly shifted to the far right claim to have “transcended left and right”. Or state that the terms have no meaning.
What’s going on?
Hold onto your seats, it’s a wild ride. 🧵

@CraigHope_DM Hard to take as Chelsea really are useless for all their billions and years of cheating. But very few teams could handle this ridiculous injury list. It’s so sad to see Tripps diminished like this.
