So from Monday, it WONT be Andy Burnham running our country.
Our new Prime Minister will be GEORGE SOROS!
Liz, sweetheart, I REALLY admire & respect your bravery for speaking out, but PLEASE be careful. x
the emerging consensus on England and Tuchel, that he made horribly defensive substitutions and threw away the game, is completely wrong. I honestly think it's because most (maybe all) English/British pundits want to blame Tuchel as an outsider rather than face up to how the game actually played out.
the entirety of the game after Gordon's goal was dominated by Argentina. but note the first substitution was 17 minutes later on 72 minutes and the *really* defensive ones were on 82 minutes.
in the 17 minutes before the first sub, Argentina could and arguably should have scored 3 times. in the 10 minutes before the next, they could and should have scored twice more. in that interval, England did absolutely nothing. they had already given up. they strung virtually zero passes together and I don't think touched the ball in the opposition half (never mind box).
I think that Tuchel realized this (because he is an excellent coach) and *correctly* concluded they needed to shore up or Argentina would indeed score 3 or more before long.
one idea I've seen is Tuchel should have thrown on the likes of Rashford and Watkins (who are fast, basically) to better press from the front and give England a route to play out. but imagine he had done this, England became *even more pathetically open* and Argentina had won 4-1. the criticism would have been even worse than now, and would have called for *exactly what he did*.
so, no, he did what he had to do as he watched his team completely collapse for no reason.
and *it could have worked*! after the second set of subs, Argentina had one very long-distance shot and the two goals. but the two goals were a result of astoundingly lazy lack of pressing, not tactics. the chances before were getting sliced apart in open play. the chances after were pathetic individual discipline.
so, no, the substitutions did not throw away the game and Tuchel did not get it wrong. England epically shat the bed, should have ended up losing 4-1, and Tuchel attempted the only viable route to holding on and still winning. it is no way his fault that Bellingham couldn't be bothered closing down Fernandez and Spence couldn't be bothered closing down Messi, amongst the other 5 goals they could have conceded after giving up.
English pundits want somebody to blame, so they blame Tuchel (who conveniently isn't English). what they ought to do is face up to this being one of the most astonishing psychological capitulations in World Cup history.
A 20-year study found women who regularly cleaned their homes lost lung function equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes a day.
Yes — 20 cigarettes a day worth of damage, and only in women. Men showed no comparable decline. Why the huge gender gap?
Women use far more cleaning sprays, disinfectants, air fresheners, scented detergents, candles, and fragrance-loaded products — all containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and irritants that aerosolize and get inhaled deeply into the lungs.
Science nugget: The study (published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2018, based on the long-running European Community Respiratory Health Survey) tracked lung function (FEV1 and FVC) over 20 years in thousands of participants. Women who cleaned regularly (weekly or more) had accelerated lung function decline comparable to ~20 pack-years of smoking. No similar effect was seen in men, likely due to lower exposure to household cleaning chemicals.
The fix is simple and cheap: Switch to non-toxic alternatives — vinegar + water, baking soda, castile soap, hydrogen peroxide.
Ditch the scented sprays, "fresh linen" plug-ins, and harsh chemical cleaners.
Your lungs don’t regenerate like your liver. Damage accumulates for life.
You wouldn’t smoke a pack a day.
Why clean like you do?
Who’s switching their cleaning routine after this?
Motivation is the key to life—for all creatures. Whether it’s plants reaching for the sun, or man reaching for the stars, drive is non-negotiable. But humans have a problem: The technology of family planning has broken us. We must fix ourselves, our perish. That’s the choice.
Just watched Steven Bartlett get absolutely SCHOOLED by Dr. Boz in 6 minutes that will probably age-reversing-pilled half of the internet today
She looked him dead in the eye and said:
“I’ve been practicing 25 years.
Parkinson’s has 3,500 of my patients.
I have ZERO.
Because Parkinson’s only wins when you let the trash pile up in your brain for decades… and then act shocked when the diagnosis hits.”
Her exact words:
“The slow death of your brain doesn’t announce itself.
It starts with:
- the belly fat that won’t shift
- joints that ache “for no reason”
- brain fog at 3 pm
- joy slowly draining from life
- waking up tired even after 8 hours”
That’s not “getting old”.
That’s trash in your brain you still have time to take out.
Then she roasted Steven’s eating pattern live on air:
“Pasta + late dinner?
One bite after 6 pm costs you like TEN bites at breakfast when you’re over 40.
Your insulin is still screaming at 3 am.
That’s how you age in fast-forward.”
Her fix?
Dead simple:
- Finish eating by 6-7 pm (non-negotiable as you age)
- Give your body 16+ hours without food regularly
- Trigger autophagy = your brain’s trash disposal service
- Watch mood, energy, focus, and waistline transform in months
She ended with this line that gave me chills:
“At 54 I want to be as sharp, energetic and alive as Steven is right now.
Most people are decaying.
I want to be accelerating.”
If you only watch ONE health clip this year, make it these 6 minutes.
Your 54-year-old self is begging you to hit play.
Who’s committing to their last bite before 7 pm tonight?
(Just sharing a public conversation between Steven Bartlett & Dr. Annette Bosworth, MD — no medical advice, just a wake-up call everyone’s talking about)
Nothing says "trust the science" like criminalising people sharing evidence questioning it...

Nike pays Erling Haaland roughly $20 million a year to be photographed with their products. A family-run western store in Dallas just got the same treatment for free. Better than free: Haaland paid them $750 for a taxidermy raccoon hugging a whiskey bottle.
The backstory makes it better. Haaland walked into Wild Bill's Western Store during Norway's World Cup run and bought cowboy hats, exotic boots, a longhorn belt buckle, and a shirt reading "Y'all can kiss my Dallas." The owner says Haaland knew nothing about cowboy hats and had to be fitted for his first one.
Then Norway's Cinderella run ended in the quarterfinals, and the tournament's breakout star, seven goals, carried the raccoon off the plane in Oslo himself. Caption: "It followed me home." Then he ran an Instagram poll asking fans to name it.
The results for a boot shop that's been family-owned since the 1970s: the Whiskey Raccoon is sold out. The Dallas shirt is nearly gone. Their $500 Belligerent Squirrel, a taxidermy squirrel smoking a cigarette and holding Jack Daniel's, is down to low stock. Local shoppers are lining up at a store most of them had walked past for years.
Sports brands run entire celebrity seeding departments trying to manufacture exactly this: a global superstar genuinely delighted by a product, on camera, unprompted. Every one of those campaigns reads as an ad, because it is one.
Brands spend $20 million a year renting Haaland's image. Wild Bill's sold it to him for $750.
It’s no longer possible to live a decent, even middle class life in the US without being neurodivergent
You’ve either gotta be an autist with preternatural technical ability, or have hyperfunctional ADHD such that you can massively multitask, or have an artistic or mathematical gift
In other words, you have to be an extreme outlier on at least one scale, because first globalization and now AI have completely gutted the middle of every normal distribution of humans that exists
Your ability to generate economic value now depends on being “out of the distribution” in some way. This is why the weird are inheriting the earth
I just saw the Rolling Stones have released a new album and that Bill Wyman didn't take part (he's 89 so understandable). Went down the rabbit hole reading about him on Wiki, and found this brain breaker:
It was the middle of the night, at about 1.30am, when Norway lost to England.
Yet thousands of Norwegians went to the Palace in Oslo and celebrated with one final Viking row.
They did not riot. They did not burn cars. They did not smash bus stops or glass windows of shops.
They smiled. The laughed. They saw the positive in their performance. They celebrated their heritage. They were proud of who they have been in the past and who they are today.
Norway might be out of the World Cup 2026 but they are in our hearts.
In the last three weeks, I think we have all fallen a little bit in love with Norwegians.
