First new tv show/comedy I've really connected with in years 👏🏻
The new Mackenzie Crook comedy-drama Small Prophets is very good. A great thing about MC's work (see also Detectorists) is that it has a warmth and affection for ordinary, small-scale lives, with all their joys and absurdities and tragedies.

We need to do this in Italy 💚🤍
When the Hungarian derby between Ferencvaros and Ujpest took place last year, Ferencvaros placed a green smoke bomb in the away end and let it off with a remote device from the home end… 💨 A level of shithousery we can all get behind… 🤣🫣

Real courage is the Iranian womens football team refusing to sing the anthem of the Islamic dictatorship.
The Iranian women’s national football team refused to sing the anthem of the Islamic Regime. Tonight. At the opening match of the Asian Cup. In front of the entire world. So, to all liberal Western women: Watch and learn. THIS is what real feminism looks like.

I do wish they'd focus more on saving hedgehogs, I admit.
Deputy leader of @TheGreenParty, Mothin Ali, joins a rally in London in support of the Islamic regime in Iran—the same regime that has the official slogan “Death to England” & has plotted more than 20 terror attacks on British soil. The Greens are a threat to national security.

With the Middle East in flames again, we can only hope they find oil under UK territorial waters. Imagine what a stroke of luck that would be.

I feel that something needs to be done about the current situation with VAR & offsides, and I'm all for a solution that favours the attacker...but surely there's still a potential for borderline decisions? Anyway, it's an interesting development.
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Arsene's Wenger new offside rule has been APPROVED and will be used in the Canadian Premier League! A player will ONLY be offside if he has FULLY passed the last defender, so it won't be decided based on a body part anymore. If succesful, the offside rule

If Iran became a liberal democracy, with rights for women, gay people, and other groups that are currently oppressed in Iran, a large chunk of the western progressives would hate it, which is deeply perverse.
