My first ever football match, way back in 1991, was at Goodison Park. Very sad to be here for (probably) the final time

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

Wondering why other clubs are being hesitant to join BlueSky as well. Surely a few would like to be the first in the PL to join?
Most football clubs will (whatever they tell you) lie down with the dogs if they think it might get them money – but it'd be nice to see a few more follow St Pauli's lead: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Gary Lineker going from Match of the Day being announced in the week between Remembrance Sunday and an England vs Ireland match was almost too culture wars on the nose, but hey, there was a brown-skinned woman they could get angry at, so you know.

Match of the Day: The Culture Wars
People are already getting themselves over the very possibility of Alex Scott hosting Match of the Day. Now, why could that possibly be?

The TL;DR is that the rich stay winning (shocking, I know), but I thought I’d put together a little thread of some of the findings because Always Be Posting.

![The flop was so bad that a member of the team behind the Avalanche blockchain put out a tweet distancing themselves from the project, stating that they didn't even know about the project until he announced it. "Gone are the days that individuals/Brands with large followings can just drop IP related NFTs out of nowhere and expect it to do well," they wrote, seemingly criticizing Howard's approach by writing that NFT creators must "mak[e] sure to do it in an organic way with proper intentions."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ugyl6syayvsrvu5w4uxtlkz4/bafkreidszxdrmc7nhe5kivukpuf7xxwpbbi3isht32foclxhpryabtze3a@jpeg)
