Show me two things that sit more diametrically opposed than this. 1) Still having to show that I am paying for a 'colour' TV licence in 2026, while 2) Confirming that I'll receive confirmation via 'email' ...
Capitalism is reaching the start of the Fermi Paradox's great filter then ...
Tweet by Aaron Rupar saying Karoline Leavitt confirmed a “ballpark” estimate that 150 U.S. soldiers have been injured fighting Iran. The image shows Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing with Fox News graphics about the war in Iran.
That's one way for the White House to tell the troops it doesn’t really think of them as individual people.
President Macron making the case for renewables in light of the US-Israeli attack on Iran,
"Everything we do to move towards transition is also about reducing our dependence and therefore our exposure to geopolitical risks"
That is 8 days of total US oil consumption. Hardly going to make a dent in the shitstorm that Trump has just created.
Last ball drawn, again 👆. I know you like a bet, but the "one in 16,384 times" chance might've tempted you @michaeltsb.bsky.social It is akin to 3,276 years' worth of FA Cup 3rd round to semi final draws put together for #LUFC
With up to 5 possible FA Cup drawers a year for a PL team that gets to the final, a 1 in 16,384 chance of it happening is akin to once every 3,276 years. Add to that we were in the final drawn tie in both the 3rd & 4th rounds in 2024 … and I think I’ve broken all maths 😂 #LUFC
Leeds were the last ball drawn in the FA Cup 3rd round, 4th round, AND quarter final drawers. The statistical likelihood of that happening is 1 in 16,384. Which is twice as unlikely as the famous run of 13 consecutive away ties (1 in 8,192). Unbelievable. #LUFC
My point was really that sending even one aircraft carrier is probably not purely defensive, and is definitely provocative if not actively aggressive … but I get your point.
Is 11 military ships a “purely defensive” action? How many ships would it need to be for it to be not just defensive???
That went well. A 3-0 win where mini-me-number-3 got to celebrate 5 goals for Leeds, and zero pressure or stress. Tactic for picking today as his first game worked, phew! #LUFC has gained another soul, as he said today was “my best Sunday ever” on the way home 😎
What formation is that then???
I’ve picked today’s match for my youngest’s first ever ER game. Crowd should be good, under the lights, and a better than normal chance of winning (in theory😬). Plus, it’s not a league game, so my frustration at not winning won’t be evident to him if we lose 😂 Leeds will shape him eventually though😆
This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
If anyone ever tries to say that “Wild West Hero” by ELO is anything less than perfect, well they’ll have me to deal with 😆
You’d know all about joining wars late, America.
I passed 700 followers today, woohoo! I'm almost back up to my Twitter level of Leeds #LUFC followers that I had back on the bad place. It would be great to connect with lots more Leeds fans on BlueSky. We're at the back end of the season, and our fans have really embraced BlueSky, so hit me up!

Truly, truly inspiring
I miss leaders like this.
As long as they stock Amarone I’m in
I've had the ST for 10 years, since the start of the Garry Monk season.
Also, not sure if this happened last year, but if you pay by installments there is now an "arrangement fee" charged, which is 6.76% of the cost of your Leeds Season Ticket. So the V12 payment option is no longer 0% finance either. #LUFC
So I've got a 13.5% increase in my Leeds season ticket price since last year 😲 Not what I was expecting. My ST has gone up 30% in the last 2 years! Not cool @leedsunited.com not cool! #LUFC
Treating war and killing children in a school like it’s the same as a video game. I can’t see a way the world will ever respect the USA again. Shocking.
This came out 30 (THIRTY) years ago 😬 What an album from Matchbox 20.
If you’ve not watched the new series yet, it is very funny. It is on a channel no one has ever heard of, but easy enough to find.
Leeds have 9 games left. So far this season we've got 1.71 PPG vs teams in the bottom 6. Five of our final games are vs bottom 6. At that rate, we'd finish in 15th with 42pts (I've ignored the less than 1 point vs Man Utd). Crumb of comfort amid the current gloom. But we know "statistics" 🙄 #LUFC
I'm sure you have someone who resides in the Durham area you could recommend he bequeaths it to 😆
That is the Karen Carney “so that’s how Leeds didn’t get relegated” line
