Glad to hear of some good news overnight - but in disbelief that CNN exit polls showing that a handful of Cuomo voters consider themselves "democratic socialists" 😂

Words don't mean anything anymore!

Watching Americans do the #Platner discourse like...

Reading Salim Lamrani's book on the US's (illegal, of course) economic sanctions on #Cuba

It's staggering how many examples of Washington's cruelty are present in its short pages

The type of changes Inzaghi needs to make to turn the game around

Well, it was always going to come to this wasn't it? 🥲🥲🥲

If only Chiellini was fit that night...

Introduce yourself with four video games:

If we're talking desert island, hard to go a different way for me!

(Apex Legends a very honourable mention)

Happy Birthday Paulo Dybala!

Made Juve must-watch TV for many years. Probably a player who would've better suited to playing a decade earlier, when the 10 role was still more mainstream

But for someone my age, he was *the* guy in black and white growing up

Great read, always love seeing Toni mentioned! Quintessential Italian player in many ways

I bisited Verona in 2015 on a school trip, fond memories of translating for classmates, but my favourite souvenir is a Toni jersey I grabbed from the Hellas shop

The article photo reminded me! 🟡🔵

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty released 23 years ago today 🥳

For all the series' trademark wackiness, Kojima's script was eerily prescient with regards to AI and the "post-truth" era of today

And that script is built around an absolute 10/10 game too!

The #49ers will frustrate you to no end and then pull off some magic like that to rope you back in - unreal stuff to take the lead.

Not Purdy's best stretch of games by any means but he's made some money throws today too.

Last year against the Bucs - hopefully Pearsall or Cowing can recreate this in BA's absence!

Happy birthday Alessandro Del Piero!

One of the greats and undoubtedly the player I grew up idolising the most - can't count how many times I've watched the highlight reels!

Love that WFH life 🙌

Not quite as exciting when you know the result, but at least my nerves aren't shot 😂

I'm in London for work and found it interesting that there's seemingly a Death Star laser beam primed and ready to go right next to the O2...
