On the train to Kirkcaldy, which requires crossing a certain famous bridge:

Am now finding the Fediverse as traumatic as Twitter.

Interesting, and in places terrifying, article about Team Trans, an all-transgender ice hockey team. https://www.bbc.com/sport/64047085

Watching the City Matchday stream, and was amused when the lad presenting it addressed Shaun Goater as “baby”, and both were completely relaxed about it.

@Uilebheist@chaos.social I get the impression that a significant number of white people have taken the desire of Black and other minoritised folk to talk openly about systemic injustice, and how it affects them, as permission to post all sorts of traumatic shit without CW.

Note, it’s not the folk on the receiving end of said systemic injustice who are at fault here.

@Uilebheist@chaos.social I’ve been making extensive use of block and mute, but today I just feel rotten.

I really have to remember that phrases such as “thank goodness, Pep’s not fucking around this time” are not in any language known to @cstross@wandering.shop

We wuz robbed! That first goal, Rashford was clearly offside and interfering with play. Refs need to go re-read the rule book, which has a nice long list of what constitutes interfering with play. It includes what Rashford was doing. Second goal, it was marginal, but Rashford looked offside when the ball was passed to him.

Then there’s the penalty not awarded when Haaland was bundled over, and no yellow for De Gea when he spent 30s lying down, holding the ball, doing nothing at the end.

FFS, Sky Sports, stop pretending City are one of the big teams now. That team is mostly elsewhere. I have hope for the current squad, but it’s not there yet.

@Uilebheist@chaos.social @solargroovy@mastodon.social It’s a short cycle ride, surely?
