The single greatest squad reveal video in the history of squad reveal videos

[Mark Sweep @riffraffhands]

Very sad. 5 is no age.

@BristOliver And they’re not even using a log scale, for heaven’s sake.

@CottageTactico @dharnishiqbal Depressing to hear that Marco is on Spurs’ radar now. Poaching from Fulham seems to be their default behaviour.

@DrRadchenko Putin fully expected to absorb Ukraine when he sent his tanks off to take Kyiv, accompanied by soldiers carrying parade dress for the celebrations three days later. Witkoff surely knows this, so everything he says on Ukraine must be assumed to be equally deceptive.

@davetrott I remember a long series of letters in a newspaper debating who wore the trousers in a marriage. It was settled by a man who wrote, “In my marriage I make the big decisions and my wife the little decisions - and deciding if a decision is big or little is a little decision.”

@rorysutherland @davetrott But still bucking the trend elsewhere. Lots of possible explanations (Tesla dealers offering deals in advance of backlash/end of quarter/tariffs). The Tesla charging network is still superior, and apparently other EVs that can use it get lower preference than Teslas.

@ItsAndyRyan I think you’ll find it’s properly spelled “paedantry”

@davetrott An open goal, but struck beautifully…

@davetrott “Our only matrix is attention: good, bad, it doesn’t make any difference.”

Anyone who’s had kids will recognise this. If one child is misbehaving, don’t try and lecture them out of it. Spend time with the one who’s behaving and ignore the other one. They soon learn.

@tomowolade @Telegraph Damn. You’ll be much missed, as there’s no way in hell I’m reading The Telegraph.

big day for dictators with territorial ambitions

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

There is an aggressor: Russia.

There is a victim: Ukraine.

We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so.

By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.

Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

@cblatts @mrianleslie Or he genuinely can’t remember what he said recently due to increasing mental degradation - though his power remains unchecked - which should not be regarded as a positive development.

Spinal Tap may be the best known rock band pastiche, but The Rutles’ All You Need Is Cash is the original that paved the way. Here is its story: https://t.co/BmFazy5ZUS

@asiafu1900 Hi - I'm just wanting to try Aliento, so have rudely put $0 but will repurchase properly once I know it works on my system. Hope that's OK! Thanks, RS

@asburyandasbury Sad I can’t read the whole thing. There should be some micropayment way of not having to pay to subscribe to every writer that looks interesting…

[David Gauke @DavidGauke]

He’s right.
