Mitoma started one game under Potter, at left back against Forest Green. He should not be claiming any credit for his success, he refused to play him and when he did it was 5 minutes at the end of the game out of position

In San Fran for the 1st time. Tour guide said to come here & not even look at a menu, just ask “what are you making today?” We did that & the very old waitress said “yes I make you food” and took our menus and walked away. This is about to be the best meal of my life.

Sorry but why isn’t absolutely every single person talking about the fact that those two astronauts that are stuck in Space are now hearing mysterious heartbeat sounds and no one know what it is. THIS ENTIRE STORY IS INSANE

This is giving such “female character as written by men” vibes.
Why is she so obsequious and flirty?
Mega ick.

I was nodding in agreement with Richard Keys. I was aware of the two people receiving a phone call and instructed to tie the line and to quieten down in the criticism of match officials. The standard is woeful both in the middle and VAR room at Stockley Park. The summary of the

For years, people have been telling me Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford is my uncle.
But he isn't.
Let me tell you the bizarre story of the uncle I (LITERALLY) never had....

Everyone knew about Moisés Caicedo in 2021. The reason Brighton got him was because only they could figure out exactly who his agent was. nytimes.com/2021/01/21/sport…

Last year I received an email from Megan Phelps-Roper, estranged daughter of the Westboro Baptist Church. She asked if I'd give an interview for a podcast on J.K. Rowling, the world's foremost champion of backlash to trans rights. I agreed. This was a serious lapse in judgment.🧵

NEW: Elon Musk fired a top engineer over his declining view counts.

ALT Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, they told him, Musk was at “peak” popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of “100.” Today, he’s at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Musk’s reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him. Musk did not take the news well. “You’re fired, you’re fired,” Musk told the engineer. (Platformer is withholding the engineer’s name in light of the harassment Musk has directed at former Twitter employees.)
