I wasn't going to watch the #Bundesliga on the BBC tonight because I can't stand the energy drink club, but I'm glad I did because this game has been absolutely wild

Some of the best news I've heard. If you've not watched the 2. Bundesliga before, get ready to finally enjoy the best league in the world #2Bundesliga
In the UK, every 2.Bundesliga game will be shown on the Bundesliga YouTube channel.

As I explore at length in the article below, "immigration" is not a "legitimate concern" that rises from the bottom to force the elite to crack down but a top-down construction to divert attention away from the many other real crisis people care about

Almost half of Britons (47%) mistakenly believe that migration to the UK is primarily illegal rather than legal.
This view is held by 72% of those who support requiring large numbers of migrants to leave

Arminia Bielefeld went straight through the 2. Bundesliga last time they were here and, apparantly, they plan to do the same this time #2bundesliga

I'm going to miss ITV's Tour de France coverage for so many reasons: free-to-air, Gary Imlach's presenting, their teaching of Tour history. It's the reason I'm a cycling fan today.
But I'll mostly miss it for that perfect theme tune

You obviously couldn't do this every year but the climb to Montmartre is absolutely amazing to watch and a great way to welcome Paris back to the #TourDeFrance #TDF2025

Interesting to see Kathrin Hendrich enter the competition for the most idiotic red card, what was she thinking?

I was never in favour of that idea that Bayern should start every Bundesliga game 1-0 down
However, I do think we could apply the same logic to Pogacar in the Tour. Maybe he should start the race 10 minutes down

Der Pride-Month neigt sich dem Ende entgegen, doch der Kampf für Gleichberechtigung geht weiter.
Wir senden solidarische Grüße nach Budapest, wo sich am vergangenen Samstag hunderttausende Menschen dem Verbot der Pride-Parade widersetzten und für Vielfalt auf die Straße gingen. 🌈

The Politics PhD room at the Uni of York has really felt like a sauna today, so I thought I'd get in the right frame of mind for that environment

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor.
He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.
The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.
This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

This #Napoli side, as well as Bielefeld, are the bright spots in what has been a pretty poor season of football overall. The story of their campaign has been amazing to follow, congrats on title number four

Just because it's the only other song I voted for that I haven't mentioned (alongside San Marino and the Netherlands), loved Switzerland, nice to see the whole performance without technical difficulties #Eurovision #ESC2025 #Eurovision2025

I don't know how I'd feel about Tutta L'Italia if this was my first time hearing it. I guess I wouldn't have been bouncing around the room belting out the Italian lyrics I had already heard many hundreds of times #Eurovision #ESC2025 #Eurovision2025
