Largely irrelevant since the 80s. Once knew things about social media. Still trying to find a decent Welsh Cake in Australia.
“So how does Nuno approach this match? His priority will be, rightly, prioritising Premier League survival. So does he put out a strong side and risk injures and fatigue to key players, or does he put out a second string and risk “doing a Palace””

“But if you’re tired of people slipping over on ice, sliding down hills on tea trays, or artificially enhancing their johnsons in an effort to jump further than anyone else, then this promises to be a fascinating match.”

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

Not really an exaggeration to say 2025 has been one of the worst years of my life. Only 82 minutes left before it’s finally over.

Two things have struck me tonight watching #MVCvWEL. Firstly, Victory have been excellent in both the press and possession. Some of the passing to cut through the Nix defence has been sublime. Secondly, I really like Grace Gill as a co-commentator. More understated and quite insightful.

There’s a lot of bad AI adverts out there. And some surprisingly effective ones. Much the same as for humans. What does this mean? A few thoughts…
Can AI adverts ever be as effective as human creative?
AI-generated ads aren't always slop, even if the execution has a long way to go.

This may be one of the best Welsh performances I can remember since probably that Belgium quarter final in 2016. Bellamy has got his tactics perfect.
