So it’s school results time again and we come to that age-old question, which looks more ridiculous/demeaning?
Kids jumping in the air after getting their results or athletes pretending to bite their medals? 🤦♂️

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

Ok everyone, please share as mush as possible! My much loved bike was stolen from a garage in Woolton Hill, near Newbury. Distinctive White @marinbikes Mount Vision (2008) with purple @Hopetech brakes & discs, gold hubs, 26” wheels. It’s “old” but I’m so upset it’s been taken! Thanks for sharing!👍kq

On HTBS: Tim Koch writes about Jenifer Andersen's handy little guide "Rowing Club Colours: The Guide to Blazers and Oars", which with clear and simple graphics shows more than 120 blazers arranged by colour. Now you can go blazer spotting at Henley.

SImply unacceptable.
Female athletes should be able to train & compete in a safe environment.
All the comment over transwomen in sport over the past few months and yet the biggest risks are from cis men.
JKR, Davies, Badenoch et al will no doubt be commenting shortly.

Elsewhere on the Internet I see someone being a conflicted about not finishing a book of mine, so let me make it easy for everyone: If you're not vibing with something I wrote, put it down and try something else! Not everything I write is going to work for everyone, and that's fine. Let it go!
