🇫🇷🎻🏰 INSOLITE | Ce groupe normand de musique médiévale reprend « Beat It » de Michael Jackson avec des instruments d’époque. Le résultat est bluffant : on a l’impression d’entendre un tube joué dans une taverne du XIVe siècle. 😂

One of the reasons the Scots should always be prominent at the World Cup is that we invented the modern game and took it to every country in the world we settled. The🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿song It’s Coming Home is one of the greatest lies ever told. The only home football can come home to is Scotland

In today's blog, I read and reviewed all 700+ pages of @Econ_4_Everyone's excellent new Experimental Economics textbook. I highlight the parts I particularly liked, specific bookmarks I'll refer back to, and what I'd like to see more of in an even larger version 2.

@VascoDaGappah Happy birthday! And COOL!

Throwback to winter, and some commentary from a very broadly-accented Aberdeenshire man talking about how much snow he’s received.

Impenetrable to large swathes of Brits (including some Scots). About as broad an accent as you’ll hear in the U.K..

Following on from Dick Gaughan's £64k crowdfunder to get his IP back (https://t.co/USaxXl1YuX), a second legal crowdfunder has been launched to "win back rights to pioneering 1970s folk albums for artists." https://t.co/oJVLDymCeG

@FMwenge @mininghistory That's very sensible, looking forward to it whenever it comes.
Good luck Brazil!

@FMwenge @mininghistory Hope you've got Scotland as your second team at the WC Felix.
Any chance the live with Duncan will happen?

Brazil produces world-class footballers by the hundreds — but mostly because it's a giant.

Strip out size and the real overachiever is tiny Uruguay: under 4 million people, more football greatness per capita than anywhere on Earth.

The new issue of The Atlas is out: why is South America so exceptionally good at men’s football?

As the World Cup approaches, I decided today to make a sort of pilgrimage visit to the world’s oldest football. Found above Mary Queen of Scots bedroom in Stirling castle, the ball is thought to date to the 1540s.

In fact, the young queen Mary may even have kicked it herself!

An incredible bit of sports journalism by The Guardian here. A short summary of the playing style of all 48 World Cup nations and a short profile of all 1248 World Cup players. Bookmark and refer to the resources when watching the obscure matches: https://t.co/tdLGq8en0o

What made Victoria Cross recommendation in #WW2?

As George Semple explained when discussing Burma VC recipient, Parkash Singh, responses on the ground were often key.

Witnesses, a sense that an act may merit the medal, and the collection of accounts all lay the foundations.

2/5 It was the Tongan educator Futa Helu who recognised the creative potential of the kava circle in the 1960s. Inspired partly by the wine bowl symposia of his beloved Greeks, he turned the ritualistic & hierarchical kava drinking of tradition into something loose & exploratory.
