A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments.

There's an amusing moment in the 1780s where the Admiralty send a couple of likely-looking captains to the West Indies to mess with American trade.

Unfortunately the West Indies kind of relied on American trade, the two captains were Nelson and Collingwood, and things went horribly right...
Spare some love today for Collingwood. The other Admiral at Trafalgar.

Proud northerner. Hater of flogging. Legit brilliant commander and Nelson's trusted right hand. First into battle on Royal Sovereign. Took charge after Nelson was sniped and saved the British Fleet.

Here's HIS Trafalgar... /1 🧵

It’s the anniversary of a special goal by a very special talent.

David “Rocky” Rocastle. Old Trafford. 1991.

What extraordinary ability.

I asked Mikel Arteta about Noni Madueke. I don't remember many occasions when he has been so effusive about a player in a post match press conference.

Can We Start Again? | Here We Go! - The Aberdeen FC Podcast
On opening day blues, the departure of a crucial component of the Cup success, and a (relatively) kind Europa League draw.

Are American journalists unwilling or unable to call bullshit on obvious lies?
Mike Johnson on Trump: "His approval ratings are skyrocketing. CNN had a story a day or two ago -- he was at a 90 percent approval rating! There's never been a president that high."

It's shameful that we were even considering renewing him.

The people at the top of the club were not blind to this situation, and still considered it in the interests of sporting expedience.

Lessons should be learned.

Like I get we want journalism to succeed but have we considered the possibility that US Newspapers don’t deserve to survive?

Manchester United’s open-top bus parade in Kuala Lumpur after finishing 15th in the league followed by their defeat by an assembly of random locals is absolutely the ending this season merited.
