Just finished re-watching The Sopranos straight through, 3-4 a night.
Recommendations for anything that comes close to being that good.

@mickyfagan67 We should never underestimate how good Kidd’s second goal was and also Johnston’s goal at St Mirren Park the same day.
2 absolutely wonderful goals that contributed to an absolutely wonder day.

British migrants have always refused to integrate into Irish society

Just a reminder to those asking @Nigel_Farage to condemn the burning down of houses in Belfast last night. Here he is with a woman who was jailed for inciting racial hatred connected with burning down hotels. #FarageRiots2 #farageriots3 #farageriots

November 1971. Chiswick, West London.
Erin Pizzey is 32 years old. She is not a lawyer. Not a politician. Not a doctor.
She is a woman who talked Hounslow Council into lending her a cold, rundown building on Belmont Road — a former community hall — for almost nothing. Her original plan was modest. A warm room. A cup of tea. Somewhere for mothers with young children to simply get out of the house.
Then the door opened.
A woman stood in the entrance. She was covered, head to foot, in bruises. She was holding two small children. She was shaking.
She didn't want tea.
She needed somewhere to hide.
Erin let her in. She didn't turn her away. She didn't tell her to call the police.
Because Erin had already called the police. They told her the same thing they told every woman in Britain at the time: they could not enter a private home over a "domestic dispute." That was the law. The home was private. What happened inside it was a family matter.
When Erin contacted a female civil servant to report what she was seeing, the response was astonishing. The woman told her flatly: "There wasn't a problem of battered wives until you made one."
Erin put down the phone. Then she went back to her residents and made sure they were fed.
Within weeks, 40 mothers and children were sleeping in four tiny rooms. No funding. No staff. No legal authority.
She didn't stop.
By 1973, word had spread through quiet whisper networks — one woman telling another, "There is a place. Go to Chiswick. She won't turn you away." That same year, Erin hosted the first National Women's Aid Conference in the UK. Women from across Britain arrived, and they all recognized the same thing at once: what she had built needed to exist everywhere.
In 1974, the council set a maximum of 36 residents. At peak times, 150 women and children were living inside those walls — sleeping on floors, on chairs, in hallways. The building smelled of cooking, fear, and something else entirely: relief.
Erin was taken to court for overcrowding. She appealed all the way to the House of Lords.
She kept the doors open the entire time.
That same year, she wrote a book. Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear. It was the first published account of domestic violence in British history. It used real stories from real women inside the shelter. Overnight, a problem that had no official name was on front pages from London to New York.
The movement spread. Refuges opened across the UK. Then Australia. Then Canada. Then the United States. The pattern she created in four small rooms in West London — no blueprint, no permission, no funding — had been replicated in hundreds of shelters across the Western world.
MP Jack Ashley stood up in Parliament and said: "It was she who first identified the problem, who first recognised the seriousness of the situation and who first did something practical."
She was ranked 14th in a poll of the 100 women who shook the world. She was awarded the Italian Peace Prize. She received a CBE. The charity she founded — Chiswick Women's Aid, which became Refuge — grew into the largest domestic violence charity in the United Kingdom, with over 460 employees and an annual income of more than £33 million.
Erin Pizzey passed away on October 4, 2025, aged 86.
She never stopped.
It all began with one woman, one borrowed building, and an absolute refusal to say no.
Forty women and children showed up with nowhere to go.
She made room.

Share this if you believe one ordinary person, refusing to look away, can build a shelter that holds the whole world.

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.

@ottawascot @DonegalBall @EwenDCameron What is a fact is that rangers cheated to win 9 titles, went into administration, then liquidation. DIED.

@scotsunsport When you say trophy room revamped do you mean downsized.

[CeltsAreHere @HereCelts]

This isn’t spoken about enough.

No Tierney, McGregor or Engels. Scales at left back, Arthur at centre back having played less than 10 pro games.

Even at the penalties they won the toss to shoot at their end and take first penalty.

Celtic still won 😂

[Martin Mc1967 @Martinmc1967]

@wat_thee_deuce_ Can’t be according to all the rangers and hearts supporters and media, Celtic are now hated throughout the world.😉

[Martin Mc1967 @Martinmc1967]

@SuperJoeSavage Do your own research. He told Halliday he didn’t think he handled it. He told his manager he didn’t think he handled it, but if he did it was because Trusty forced his arm up. Now he’s saying he 100 % didn’t handle it.
Do you think we can ask players instead of believing VAR. 😂

[Martin Mc1967 @Martinmc1967]

@Lord_Sugar @scog27 Consider yourself very fortunate. I can understand every word he says.

Refereeing decisions that allowed Rangers & Danny Rohl to be in a title race up until the split.

David Dickinson & John Beaton doing some solids here.

Gotta laugh at the Huns shouting corruption 😂😂
