A quick search returns only 9 players named Gomes to have ever played in the Premier League.

4 for Wolves, City with the next highest of 2.

So no it has never happened before.

All done in less time than you wasted on AI

Bravo 👏

Friend of mine is a judge. They wrote an opinion and tested it on an AI detector which gave >50% likelihood they’d written it in AI (which they hadn’t)

I think this the version that pretty much every tech baron in this country read in the bathroom as a teen.

Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?

London’s Alleys: Alderman Stairs, Wapping, E1 Tucked away just east of the Tower of London, a narrow alley slips quietly between buildings and down towards the Thames.

is there a film on the bbc tonight? (@isthereafilmon.bsky.social) If we don't use the BBC we'll lose it, do your bit, watch some ordinary broadcast TV tonight. https://isthereafilmonthebbctonight.robmanuel.workers.dev/

Probably made that sound too worthy in that description. I simply think it's useful to be reminded if there's a film-ish thing on the Beeb in the evening, watch it, don't watch it, who cares. But follow @isthereafilmon.bsky.social and get reminded

Saw this and had a flashback to a time when Rosie Boycott tried pivoting the Daily Express to being a liberal rival to the Daily Mail. What a different era that was

While I don’t disagree with the piece the conclusion suggests that media and fair election admin can be relied on and that is decidedly difficult to swallow this far out from midterms.

And an opinion that might get me cancelled but… Toby Carvery does a better job for less than a tenner than 90% of London gastropubs charging £30

My Minneapolis An ode to a city that knows who it is

Very strongly recommend @benansell.bsky.social’s piece on Minneapolis. One takeaway: ICE should have read Putnam’s classic ‘Bowling Alone’ before choosing Minnesota… open.substack.com/pub/benansel...

It's dawned on me that one of the reason that kids made such *excellent* forts in the 1970s and 1980s is that they were inadvertently participating in a nuclear civil defence programme.

BBC having a totally normal one again, granting respectability and credence to their sworn enemies.

Prioritising balance over objectivity is the most cowardly exercise that a news outlet or journalist can engage in.

'The evidence shows X, but the regime says Y - so it's impossible to know the truth.'

Lies should not be afforded the same respect and credibility as the evidence that exposes them.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
