Woop! First draft of Dark Waters is done!
A bit to tidy up/change in the next draft but that's for another day!

Glad to see that some of the nonsense written about Como is finally falling away. There is no miracle - they just have the richest owners in the league.
(Which, fair play - but it's the acting like they're a small club on a miracle run that grates)

Here's my winning pitch from @bloodyscotland.bsky.social (still seems mad saying that!)
Sinners meets the gothic unease of Don’t Look Now with the broken investigators of True Detective. At its heart, it's not just about a monster that may destroy a city, but the trauma that can destroy a man.

Summer holiday in Italy 2025 was mainly an exploration of pasta and pizza and the ever-expanding size of my waistline

Getting mad about Superman being an immigrant and kindness being his greatest attribute (above his strength, speed etc) just shows a complete lack of understanding of who the character has always been.
I love the message Gunn is sending with the new movie. I can't wait to see it.

Miracle time...
Di Francesco really going for the Hail Mary with Fila... Chance for him to become a hero I guess. Whole formation seems a bit of a dice roll. Very hard without Idzes at the back as well, but Forza Venezia always!

Just finished our play of Impossible Landscapes after 17 sessions. 3 agents escaped, 1 of them completely insane, while another found himself ready for another curtain call...
The best campaign I have ever read - or run - will 💯 run again one day. Thank you @drgonzo123.bsky.social for creating it

What is it about Barcelona that makes the British media weak at the knees and write hagiographies like this? It's an odd thing I've never understood - you would never get the amount of fawning articles about Inter etc. They used to be the same with Brazil, though that seems to be fading slightly.

Another huge game. I've been saying to try Busio behind the striker given how poor Oristanio has been recently so excited to see this. Will be tough but we need a win.

So if we don't win today, that is the end, I think. Strong starting XI - hopefully Gytkjaer can grab a goal or two. Would be great to see Oristanio recovering some of his early season for as well.

Happy publication day to @tariqashkanani.bsky.social with The Midnight King. Genuinely the best (and darkest) book I've read all year (and not just saying that because he's a mate!) Looking forward to quizzing him about it at tonight's launch!

What a load of utter crap. I love how they have to make shit like this up to justify shoving their crappy AI in everything. Nobody - NOBODY - expects to use a chatbot to navigate a website.

I will never understand Di Francesco's obsession with Ellertsson ahead of Zampano. And not sure why Busio is dropped again. Time for Fila to show he is not a huge waste of money (not optimistic on that front)

There are complicated board games and then there is Mr. President (actually a brilliant game though, even if it did take the better part of the weekend to play 😂). Let's just say I hope I made better decisions than the present incumbent.

People defending Musk's salute as a "Roman salute" clearly didn't learn about Mussolini in school. Can't believe the media are too afraid or docile to call it what it clearly was.
![From Wikipedia: The Roman salute, also known as the Fascist salute, is a gesture in which the right arm is fully extended, facing forward, with palm down and fingers touching. In some versions, the arm is raised upward at an angle; in others, it is held out parallel to the ground. In contemporary times, the former is commonly considered a symbol of fascism. According to an apocryphal legend, the fascist gesture was based on a customary greeting which was allegedly used in ancient Rome.[1] However, no Roman text describes such a gesture, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern so-called "Roman" salute.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:46vsqfmxhgffkebh2atksva4/bafkreicdlhcmgjkzosbukqusdtgedfqs4tejwwb4x3rcw5vccz2ezgrlpe@jpeg)

Can only assume this is a protest selection from Di Francesco at the club's lack of transfers. Candela and Haps start?? Oristanio on the bench?? In a six-pointer this isn't a great look
