Watching @england men’s football last night. @JillScottJS8 pitchside. Seren: “Wow, @jillscottjs8! She is one of the most famous footballers ever.” Me: “Yep! How do you know that?” Seren: “She’s in my @lionesses book... who are those other guys?” Representation matters.
Does Southgate have an Ace up his sleeve in Cole Palmer? 🃏 #ThreeLions | #EngBos

Quite incredible soundtracking of sunak
we had a good run at Downing Street but both and amplifiers got soaked and blown. They lasted for the moment that mattered.

Listen to these guys #endpolio
Hier soir, nous avons organisé un événement incroyable pour rassembler la communauté afin qu'ils se joignent à la lutte contre la polio. Un virus que nous sommes sur le point d'éradiquer, il ne nous manque plus qu'un dernier effort ! Partage cette vidéo pour montrer ton soutien ! 🙌🏼🫶🏼 #ENDPOLIO

Amazing that 6 months ago we were talking about the potential for a #endpolio collaboration with PSG and Gates Foundation. Fantastic backing and taking it to the next level
Le Président du Paris Saint-Germain Nasser Al-Khelaïfi et l’entrepreneur philanthrope @BillGates, co-fondateur de Microsoft et co-président de la Fondation Bill et Melinda Gates, se sont rencontrés à Paris pour échanger sur les initiatives en cours pour éradiquer définitivement le virus de la poliomyélite dans le monde. Le Paris Saint-Germain a pris part à la campagne #EndPolio à l’occasion d’un événement live sur Twitch qui s'est tenu à la Tour Eiffel le 5 décembre 2023.

2 x @guardian_sport Football Weekly books have just landed in Amsterdam following a drunken pre-sale order. Looks full of the sort of rubbish I will love. Dank je wel all involved.
The @guardian_sport Football Weekly book is out TODAY! Astonishingly we only need to shift a few more to be a best seller... Go on... guardianbookshop.com/the-foo…

Slow hand clap for the late comers only realising this now, but well put as ever by @KuperSimon in @ftweekend
There's one reason to be optimistic about Britain: the country has completed a very painful, damaging seven-year therapy treatment that actually worked. Britain now knows itself. Me @FT on an end to grandiose delusions ft.com/content/b294d9e6-6bd5…

ESG doesn’t have to be dull 👏 @Apple (*I haven’t dug in and fact-checked it all. Just talking about the comms)
One of the best piece of (brand) content I’ve ever seen. Real tangibles, focusing on scale and timeliness. Smooth tie back to the product. Deliciously witty. Perfection. No notes. Bravo Apple.

God, i love Pearlman 😂 Here is his take on the burning man situation and it's spot on. Back in the 90's that festival was a different experience. Now it's been taken over by rich people LARPing as hippies for a week.

Mad. This is what happens when power is concentrated. Guillem explained the structure of Spanish FA; the President personally decides who gets funding. So the members in the room ‘have to’ show support. A. Governance madness. B. They don’t. Imagine if they had booed.
Against all the reporting, against the advice of people close to him, against the wish of the government (who will now go after him), Rubiales suprises even his close circle and insists he will not resign Embarrassing, his explanations are obsolete (he says he kissed Jenni as a daughter). He will have to be pushed out

F'ing well said! F'ing good @nilsleonard @uncommon_LDN. The utter aggression of this & capturing of the audience's feeling feels BANG! *and the idea @communionsaves - this is the sort of disruption you really want to win

I mean… wow. All The Ashes, Sydney 2000, and that’s just sport
Australia's semi-final against England was the most watched event in Australian TV history - 11.15 million on Channel 7 alone. Not just women's football, not just football, not just sport. Any TV programme.

Excellent @PlayersTribune by Aaron Ramsdale theplayerstribune.com/posts/… powerful and well worth a read on its own. It came just after I’d listened to a @RestIsPolitics pod discussing the ULEZ by-election and social media influence in determining political outcomes globally… 1/2

Completely dismantled his argument. So sharp. Via @zoescaman
BREAKING: Jon Stewart just completely destroyed Republican State Senator Nathan Dahm of Oklahoma on gun reform in America. Each and every point that Dahm tried to address was completely debunked by Stewart. Stewart made Dahm look as foolish as he and his republican colleagues really are. My favorite quote was: “In every other place your life you want to bring order, but guns are the outlier for you.” Let all your republican friends see this video! teapawt.net/TheProblem/statu…

Merry Christmas. Too good
2022 has been a pretty horrible year for many people, given the cost of living, a constant sense of uncertainty and the possibility of global destruction thanks to Nuclear War, so here’s a thread of my favourite moments from Twitter over the last 12 months to spread some cheer.
