Things in modern football that I just can't understand: Aston Villa seemingly needing to sell players for PSR reasons. #avfc been a huge success story for last two seasons, have wealthy owners and clear plan to compete. But because of arbitrary number they might have to trade.

📰 Identical front page on every UK paper today, with homepage takeovers too. Only 2nd time this has happened. As editors and reporters we fear for the future of quality journalism - with unlawful scraping of content (theft) by AI firms. #MakeItFair

I don’t want to hear any Republicans talk about “freedom” unless they have the guts to call out Trump for the lies that he is telling about Putin and Ukraine. It was Russia that started the war, not Ukraine. Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky.

Oh I'm so sad to hear that Tony Slattery has passed away. Interviewing him in 2019 and 2020 was such an honour. So much love to his devoted partner Mark. Despite everything, I will always remember him like this, so handsome and brilliant on Whose Line
