ETCH THAT INTO EMIRATES HISTORY, ARSENAL HISTORY, PREMIER LEAGUE HISTORY!

Understatement of the century!

HE JUST LEARNED TO WALK AND NOW HE’S SCORING IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE

Important to lead with the headline that Arsenal are the ‘villains of the title race’ and would be ‘unpopular champions’ as they go up against the team charged with 115+ counts of cheating to gain an unfair competitive advantage over the other premier league teams.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

City don’t feel that all these these pesky rules should apply to them. Where have I heard this before?

Yes, the Jackson Estate was famously aggrieved by Johnny Depp’s portrayal of J.M. Barrie.

He’s a corporate stooge.

I understand that YouTube is the dominant cultural delivery method of our age but i genuinely don’t understand it. I don’t want video of my audio entertainment. I listen while I’m doing other things. I don’t even know what the use case would be for me.

Neuer’s mustache had that coming.

SET PIECE FCCCCCCCCCCCCC!

The champions are a point off top with more than 80% of the season still to go. I'm sure some will try to reframe this as a transition season if they don't improve soon but make no mistake, everyone fairly had them as favourites before a ball was kicked and there is an absurdly long way to go.

That smile from Madueke is almost as good as the goal. Love it.

We should hire a hamstring coach #afc

Couldn’t agree more! You guys are an integral part of my movie going experience.

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place. This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

Worth a watch:

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.
