75% of my timeline is people complaining about the World Cup coverage!
BBC is too this
ITV is too that
No highlights on TV
Didn’t like his shirt
Too relaxed
Too formal
Why are they stood up?
Why are they sat down?
Can’t listen to that commentator
They are ruining it
Watching with the sound down!!!
Aaaahhhhhh!
Just enjoy it ⚽️
BBC slammed by Ross Greer live on air over framing of racist disorder in Belfast “Those were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.”
Greer added: “The BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners.

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.
They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.
Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.
#PMQs@KemiBadenoch why are you not asking why 55% of the welfare bill goes to state pensioners?
Why are you not asking why 40% of people in work are claiming welfare?
Not everyone claiming welfare is unemployed.
Yet another glaring example of how utterly failed the water industry is. All it took was one hot weekend and not one but two water companies have been brought to their knees, incapable of doing the most basic job possible, supplying their customers with water.
And we tolerate this nonsense.
The most frustrating thing about AI discourse is that you’re forced into two insane camps.
Either:
“AI is a bubble, it's just text prediction and will never matter.”
Or:
“AI will replace humanity and usher in techno-utopia.”
Meanwhile reality is sitting directly in the middle.
These systems are obviously useful.
If an AI can detect a brain tumor earlier than a radiologist, use it.
If it can automate repetitive paperwork, good.
If it can make scientific discovery faster, excellent.
But the moment you say:
“Maybe we shouldn’t automate art, friendship, education, romance, spirituality, and human communication”
people react like you’re demanding society return to candlelight.
Some things should remain human specifically because they are human.
Not every inefficiency is a flaw.
Not every limitation needs elimination.
A handwritten letter is less efficient than an email.
A live band is less efficient than Spotify.
A teacher is less efficient than prerecorded content.
And yet those things contain something machines cannot manufacture:
Presence.
The modern world is in danger of optimizing away the texture of being alive.
Crystal Palace are our local club but my son supports Leeds because of me. He could have celebrated an FA Cup win and a European trophy in 12 months. I’m a terrible father.
