There has been a constant campaign against aid to Ukraine, but I see this as another victim of austerity politics. You can’t keep saying the country is broke and cut things close to home and not expect some people to turn on foreign aid.

Trump's suit appears to be part of Jos. A. Bank's Traveler line. The suit is listed as having been made abroad using a wool-polyester-spandex blend. The company describes it as having the "ultimate stretch" and was designed to minimize body odor.

You know those ‘spot the difference’ puzzles? I’m thinking of launching a ‘spot every racism in this political cartoon’ alternative….

One day until we take on the famous MCC here in Reykjavík. This is the closest we will probably ever get to playing England. We hope you can watch, either in-person or via our YT channel. Three days of exciting action.

Victory today for Reykjavík Vikings Cricket Club over Hafnarfjörður Hammers in the semi-final of the Valhalla Cup. They go through to the final to play either Kópavogur Puffins or Vesturbær Volcano. Dushan Bandara, our national team captain, was player of the match.

We've got a data team, analysts, scouts and a coaching team to talk about football. Paarag's job is to say whether the numbers work. Could not care less if knows anything about the game. #lufc.

Look, we're SWEATING in Cambridge today. But down at the UK's largest Antarctic research station, our team are also experiencing a heatwave. It's midwinter on the Antarctic Peninsula: it should be -15°C to -20°C at the moment. It's -2°C. There's almost no sea ice, and there has been rain.

Political ideology is the strongest predictor of Messi-Ronaldo preference. Authoritarians who like short-form video are more likely to think Ronaldo is the GOAT.

So, a little shitposting about the "I fucking TOLD you so" window. For avoidance of confusion. This climate crisis a) is not funny b) was actually avoidable, but ppl refused to listen to scientists, activists etc. c) is now baked in. This year will be one of the coolest for the rest of your life.

I am absolutely appalled by the POGROMS in Belfast. But it is lazy to just blame social media. POGROMS have been around for centuries. They are rooted in racism, which is fueled by elites. Look at Reform, Tories, and, yes, Labour. Look at GB News, Times, and BBC, before starting about Tik Tok.

At the end of this ÍPL weekend, we have Kópavogur Puffins top and Garðabær Glaciers chasing hard in second. Last year's finalists of Hafnarfjörður Hammers and Reykjavík Vikings are playing catch-up, but still eight league games for them to go.
