You’re the hero of your own story. A super villain is going to destroy the world. You team up with your evil nemesis to take him down…
Then they fail at the most basic task, and it’s like, why did you sell your soul to root for this person?
That’s me supporting City tonight against Newcastle. 😓

I was thinking the same thing. How can Alisson focus on the ball with this view behind it?
This shot of Anfield is absolutely gorgeous (unless you're a Liverpool fan, somehow) 😍

And Scotland 🏴 make history in a very exciting game against Denmark 🇩🇰 !
As a Christensen, it was stressful to see Rasmus Kristensen get a red, but fun to see Andreas Christensen assist Dorgu’s equalizer.
As a #MUFC fan, it was fun to see our guys do well (why did we let you leave, McTominay ? 😢)

Ran my first ever 10k today in the HOKA Paris Centre race. It took me a little over an hour (but only a little 😉), so I kept my brain busy with the @empirepoduk.bsky.social podcast ❤️.
Then I hiked up to Gare du Nord for a well-deserved thali and South Indian coffee.

I can’t get into Python GUI libraries. I tried a few today to solve a problem (displaying images and updating a DuckDB database), but ultimately whipped up a little Flask app instead. Browsers just seem easier and more straightforward. Still waiting for a library / Python project to change my mind.

As a Manchester United fan, it’s gonna sound weird… but I’m really hoping City win today.
Someone has to keep Arsenal from winning the title. In these trying times, we need to come together, and save the world from Arteta’s smugness. Sunderland did their duty yesterday 🫡

Always try to score 😕 #MUFC
A. Don’t count on later opportunities.
B. Even a blocked shot can rebound to another opportunity.
C. Don’t base your strategy on never conceding.
The only thing for certain in front of the net is that the team who doesn’t keep creating chances and trying will not score.

The lost portrait of Charles Dickens
Margaret Gillies’s portrait of Dickens was missing for more than 150 years, until it turned up far from home. Lucinda Hawksley tells the story of this long-forgotten artist.

I started a new job today (first one outside academia) and I completely lost track of the transfer market mayhem. These millionaire sports people’s last-minute, literally 11th-hour negotiations and document write-ups throws me back to academia and school papers.
Can’t wait to catch up!

Doing research for fun, I stumbled on this transcription of accounts the Senate published of witnesses to the attempted shooting of the king, Louis-Philippe, around Christmas in 1836. It's such a rich resource, featuring testimonies from different classes of Parisians!

WTF? This is Grimsby. Grimsby!! We spent all that money this summer. We (the fans) have given Amorim so much leeway and grace. I still believe in him… But WTF? The first 2 of this season’s 38 games were bad results, but we push through it. We found hope in the performances. But this? It’s Grimsby!!

Cynthia Erivo came to Cleveland Orchestra’s summer home, Blossom, to perform mostly pop, jazz, and a few Broadway tunes arranged for orchestra to a crowd of 20k. There was no Wicked, which I think is sad for all the little girls who came out (dressed up). But she sang the hell out of Feeling Good.
