My understanding of defamation laws are that if you called Ched Evans or Mason Greenwood a disgusting rapist, they would have to demonstrate that it negatively impacted their reputation. I don't think that's possible, because everyone knows they're dirty rapists. Anyway, congratulations Fleetwood.

I've finally finished Ted Lasso. I enjoyed it. You could tell which of the first 5 eps weren't written by women, but the second 5 made me cry. BUT *spoiler*, they still haven't righted the big wrong for Beard, and got him together with Barbara. They will be the ultimate TV couple.

Remember to get your COVID jab if you're eligible. This weekend I found out my friend's husband and daughter have been hospitalised with it, they're both generally fit and healthy so it must have been a strong strain to knock them out.

Current hangover status: I just watched Edward Scissorhands until it got to the stressful bit, then quickly changed channels to Taskmaster. I saw this episode 3 days ago, so I plan to lightly snooze through it.

You know the people who hold their phones in front of their mouth and have it on speakerphone? On my bus yesterday, a woman had hers ON HER LAP and was shouting into it. Then she had the temerity to look pissed off with me when I wished her luck finding the shoes she'd been bellowing about.

Yesterday Spurs played Arsenal and Chelsea, and won 3-2 on aggregate. This is how results now work, I will take no feedback on its viability.

Oh my god. There's a guy sitting opposite me on the overground who looks and sounds like a homeless Joe Lycett. Peak East London?

Arsenal at lunchtime, Chelsea in the evening. It's a big day in Spurs land! I'm afraid "all over them in the first half but still 0-0" feels eerily familiar... either we score NOW or qe lose 3-1.

Oh my. Wouldn't Deki getting a third have been the cherry on top! If any Cov player touches him, I will go full Liam Neeson on them.

You can fuck off with your half time interviews. Tonali's just run HARD for 50 mins, now he's got 15 to go to the toilet, have a rest and a drink, take on instructions in a foreign language, then go again. And you think you should add an interview in a foreign language to that??

The woman opposite me on the train is flossing her teeth. I'm quite relaxed about what people do while travelling (I did my make up on the way into town), but that's gross.

The Right Livelihood Award was established in 1980 after a failed attempt to have the Nobel Foundation create new prizes in the areas of environmental protection, sustainable development & human rights. While called the Alternative Nobel Prize, it has no organizational ties to the Nobel Foundation.

Tonight a random guy walked past my table in a pub, and proposed to me then unproposed to me in about 15 seconds. I hadn't said a word to him until after the unproposal. It's been an emotional rollercoaster.

I don't think I normally say things which are too controversial on here, but I can't keep this to myself any longer. I'm not feeling Michael Sheen on House of Games. I keep reminding myself it's only his second day, but it just doesn't feel as fun anymore. He's focused on presenting, not games.

The timing of this announcement may or may not be related to me having tickets to the Ghosts film premiere today but not being able to find anyone to play with, so watching it to cheer myself up, and then there being a question about Ghosts on the show...

This reminds me, the need to write my "things to do before world war III" list is getting ever more urgent. What have you got on yours? Ideally I want one last holiday, and I should probably do a foraging/plant identification course and advanced first aid. There must be more than that.

Always a fan of an Old Spice advert, but it occurs that it's a good job they chose a football match as the setting for their new slogan "It can't make it go in, but it can make you smell like it went in" rather than a first date.

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Ukrainian drones struck three Yandex data centres in Russia, shutting down two and crippling the third. The attacks disrupted more than 80 services, including banking, transport and cloud infrastructure, following Russian strikes on Ukrainian data centres.

Watching MotD, did Sunderland fans really boo at FT because they lost 2-0 to Brighton?? They've been in the Premier League for 1 season and they're already in Europe, and Brighton is an excellent team. This bullshit booing needs to stop across the board.
