JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Some of you were alive when that happened.

Tyson Fury sanctioned and banned from entering the US since 2022 strolls into #ufcwhitehouse talking about doing deals with Dana.

@mrchadburn @SheffieldUnited Saw them both- including the world cup winner playing against a team mate from the final at the Lane

[Mick Bower @MickBower1]

Hard to describe how ridiculous #ufc250 is. Just sad. The decline of the West summed up in one gaudy mess

[Mick Bower @MickBower1]

@ACinWY I saw his open workout and he was stiff with no apparent boxing ability. His opponent didn’t bother weighing in and punched someone at the presser. Looking forward to the chaos

The 3rd fight on the #misfits bill is body shots only. I expect this kind of thing on a show in the back of a WMC in Donny- but how can they get away with it on a televised arena show

[Mick Bower @MickBower1]

At the start- ask them to justify this from Chat GPT.

How come the bottom’s dropped out of the supermarket red wine biz? Everything else costs a fortune- but the bottom shelf is cheaper every week.

@GeoffNorcott Changing your razor blade more than every 2 months

Solid comeback from Junaid Bostan against a game opponent. #straightouttarotherham

In my village, there are two cricket clubs and another two within a couple of miles. All of them are thriving and the ECB All Stars programme is giving more kids the chance of playing. This is an excuse for weaponised faux nostalgia and a crap photo opportunity

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Village cricket is part of the essence of England 🏏

Broken planning laws and risk averse councils are closing cherished pitches.

A Reform government will protect them.

@Peety_Editor Es la misma por me amigo. Si quieras practicar- me lamas. Podemos hablar sobre los peleos y futbol

Chaos. Protests. ICE atrocities. Infantile president unleashes domestic war machine on invited guests. Break down of society. Wild fires in the cities. Armageddon.

[Foot Mercato @footmercato]

🚨 La Coupe du Monde 2026 commence dans deux mois...

Votre pronostic ? 👀

[Mick Bower @MickBower1]

Gathering together thousands of fans who hate each other in the piss up capital of the world then put them in a stadium without segregation. Grand idea lads

[Leeds United @LUFC]

🇮🇪 #LUFC is pleased to announce the club will face rivals Man Utd in August at Dublin’s iconic Croke Park Stadium

When I go to the match- I don't have to make a big deal about tidying up because I make zero mess. Instead of applauding the Japanese clean up effort- we should be asking why they are throwing crap all over in the first place.

Thank you @jfa_samuraiblue ❤️🤝

We're on the verge of the current war escalating into world ward 3- and the BBC news leads with 10 minutes on Scott Mills

The UFC is a case study of modern capitalism. Innovation grabs attention then becomes a monopoly. Product deteriorates with focus on squeezing punters, then screwing those who made it work- with enriching the boss being the only concern.

[Championship Rounds @ChampRDS]

Dana White reacts to fans complaining about the UFC using AI for promo videos:

"Give me a f*cking break. AI is coming, and if we're using AI who gives a sh*t. People are upset, and we should use artists?

How about this. Shut the f*ck up and watch the fights."

[Mick Bower @MickBower1]

Sensational finish by Itauma to round off a brilliant night of fights.

Me and Llorente at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium just now.

Biggest free gig in Rotherham since The Specials played Herringthorpe playing fields in 1981.
