An interviewer accidentally asks a man about a match he played way back in 1967. In 2015, a BBC reporter hit the streets of Runcorn, UK, asking passersby if they remembered the 1967 FA Cup fifth-round Merseyside derby—Everton’s 1-0 win over Liverpool at Goodison Park. Most people drew blanks…...

Many scholars believe Rivendell was inspired by a real place. Tolkien hiked there in the summer of 1911. He was 19 years old, and the valley left a mark on him so deep that more than 50 years later he was still describing it from memory... The valley is called Lauterbrunnen. It sits in the Bernese Oberland, in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Tolkien went on foot, "carrying a great pack, in a party of twelve." They walked from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen, then up to Mürren, and finally to the head of the valley in what he later called a wilderness of moraines. They slept in haylofts and cowsheds. They ate in the open. They walked by map, mostly avoiding the roads. Goethe had stood at the foot of those same falls more than a century before Tolkien did. The poem he wrote about them, Song of the Spirits Over the Waters, was published in 1779. There is something about this valley that has always pulled writers toward it — as if its sheer scale and beauty demand a response, and ordinary language keeps falling short… In 1967, at the age of 75, Tolkien wrote to his son Michael describing the 1911 trip in detail. He called it the "very part of the world that had the deepest effect on me." That is what this valley does. You walk into it once, and it follows you for the rest of your life...

Male footballer bites an opponent - 10 Match Ban Female footballer calls a man a man - 10 Match Ban The case of a THIRD female footballer punished for stating that a man is indeed a man has yet again highlighted the gross misogyny at the heart of the The FA. In the latest case, a female player reportedly received a 10-match ban for shouting ‘go on big man’ at the male footballer Blair Hamilton. Hamilton is the 6-foot tall male who has played on the England women’s university team, Hastings United, and Saltdean Women, and was also picked as substitute goalie for Sutton United Women’s team by their male manager Lucy Clark. This third case of the FA punishing a female player for stating the truth has emerged in an interview with Hamilton on the 'Football versus Homophobia' podcast, which was broadcast in March 2024. Hamilton describes a ‘red mist’ descending when he was called a man, which led to him making a formal complaint to the FA. The FA duly obliged by hauling the unknown female player through its disciplinary process and banning her from her sport, says Hamilton. This is the same punishment meted out to former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez for biting an opponent in 2013. The latest case of female players being punished for stating the obvious follows the cases of two teenage girls, who were brought before the FA’s National Serious Case Panels and handed out match bans for saying what they were seeing – men on the pitch. Despite FA charges, outcomes, and fines being published on a monthly basis, these cases don’t appear on the FA website. Why is that? How many other players, fans or clubs have been sanctioned for calling out men playing in the women’s game? What is being hidden from us? The FA is discriminating against women and girls by allowing males into the female game. Then further discriminating by handing out excessive punishments when this unfairness (and the truth) is called out. It's a means to silence women and prohibit any further challenge. We call on the FA and Lisa Nandy MP, the Secretary of State for Sport to make football fair for females. No males in the female game.

Using Claude Fable 5, I built a model that predicts the entire 2026 FIFA world cup.. every single game, not just the final.. so let me break the whole thing down. what it does, how it works, and exactly how i built it.. #1 First what it does: it predicts all 104 games of the tournament. not just who lifts the trophy, but every group match, every knockout, the full path from the round of 32 to the final.. everything lands in one dashboard: > group stage, every match with each team's win % and the chance of a draw > standings, how all 12 groups are projected to finish > bracket, the full knockout tree with each team's odds of advancing > champion odds, who's most likely to actually win it all and it doesn't freeze after one prediction. the moment a real game is played, it locks that result in and re-runs everything around it. so the odds move live as the tournament goes, week by week you watch favorites rise and contenders collapse. #2. How it works: the core idea is simple. the model only ever predicts one thing, a single match. the real trick is the repetition. it learns from decades of match history, then plays the whole tournament out from the first game to the final, tens of thousands of times. each run it records who advanced and who won. do that enough and you stop getting one guess and start getting real odds, one team lifts the trophy in maybe 14% of the runs, another in 9%, and so on. #3. So, how i built it ? i didn't hand-write most of the code. i broke the project into 4 pieces, described each one to fable, and let it build while i focused on getting the football logic exactly right. - The data every international match going back over a century, around 50,000 games, plus each team's elo rating, which is the truest measure of strength, and the official 2026 schedule. garbage data means garbage predictions, so this part mattered most. - The features i turned that raw history into signals the model can learn from, the elo gap between the two teams, recent form, goals scored and conceded, and a home boost for the hosts, usa, canada and mexico. - The model for each match it predicts the expected goals for both sides, then turns that into win, draw and loss probabilities plus a likely scoreline. that's what feeds the simulation. - The tournament engine this was the hard part. the 2026 world cup is brand new, 48 teams, 12 groups, a round of 32 that's never existed before, and 8 "best third-placed" teams that slot into the bracket by a fixed fifa table. even the group tiebreakers changed this year, head to head now counts before goal difference. get any of it wrong and the whole bracket falls apart, so i built it carefully and tested the format until it was exact, then wrapped it in a simulation loop that plays the tournament out tens of thousands of times. and the last piece, the live part. as real results come in, they get locked, and only the unplayed games get re-simulated. that's what makes it a living model instead of a one-time prediction. all of it outputs to a clean dashboard you can actually read and screenshot.. right now, before kickoff, it already has a clear favorite to lift the trophy.. 👀 btw who's your pick to win the 2026 world cup?

It’s official: police have dropped the charges against Tommy Robinson! Police could have immediately told Tommy that they would not be pursuing this matter — they had the surveillance footage immediately. It’s official: the police have acknowledged, in writing, that Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 acted in self-defence last month when he defended himself against an unprovoked attack at the St. Pancras train station. Here's the letter police sent, received by Tommy today. In short, they will not be charging him — they say there’s no evidence he did anything wrong. Just a reminder: last month a crazed leftist — who admitted he was drunk — spotted Tommy by chance and decided to attack him. Tommy did his best to evade the man and kept telling him to back off, but the attacker persisted. At the last moment possible, Tommy defended himself, and the attacker hit the floor. It was clearly a case of self-defence. Tommy immediately called police to report the incident, and had his lawyers follow up the next morning. Police would have immediately known it was self-defence by watching the surveillance footage of the train station. But two-tier policing is now the norm in the UK, so they preferred to try to make it into a “scandal” and impose stress and costs on Tommy. (Frankly, I’m worried they’re going to try to do something to stop Tommy’s massive rally on Sept. 13.) The regime media was only too happy to play along with the police, claiming that Tommy had “fled” the country. One newspaper even sent paparazzi overseas trying to find Tommy. In fact, Tommy rearranged his travel plans to come back early to meet with police. Tommy, his lawyer, and the police watched the surveillance footage together and it was obvious that Tommy did nothing wrong. In fact, it was the attacker who ought to have been charged. (He hasn’t been.) Nonetheless, police kept Tommy and his lawyer at the police station until 1 a.m. answering questions about the incident. And then, outrageously, at 1 a.m. they said they had another matter to discuss with him: they showed him three tweets that he had written — including one from last year — and accused him of crimes for each of those. They kept him at the station until 3 a.m. for that! Just outrageous. (I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but Graham Linehan, the comedian behind the sitcom “Father Ted”, was just arrested for writing tweets criticizing transgenderism. Free speech in the UK is under attack daily.) But at least the St. Pancras incident is officially over. As you know, I told Tommy I’d crowdfund the cost of that for him. I’m going to pay his bill today, now that it’s over. If you haven’t had a chance to chip in, please do — you can do so below, or to go Save Tommy Dot Com. Thanks for your help. And hopefully we’ll see you at Tommy’s huge free speech rally! Police could have immediately told Tommy that they would not be pursuing this matter — they had the surveillance footage immediately. Instead, they preferred to put Tommy through weeks of stress, public embarrassment and legal fees. FULL REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:

🚨Roberto Martínez on why he’s still starting 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo: 🎙️ Reporter: “Coach, after the draw with DR Congo and the criticism surrounding Ronaldo’s performance, many are asking why you continue to start him. Is it time to make a change?” 🗣️ Roberto Martínez: “I understand the questions and the emotions after any match that doesn’t go perfectly. But the decision to start Cristiano is never taken lightly — and it remains the right one for this team. We are talking about the greatest goalscorer in the history of this national team and one of the greatest the game has ever seen. His presence on the pitch changes the way opponents defend. He creates space, occupies defenders, and gives us that constant threat in the box that very few players in world football can match. Experience at this level is not something you can replace overnight. Cristiano has played in six World Cups. He knows the pressure, the moments, and how to win. That mental strength and leadership in the dressing room are priceless for a young squad still growing together. Of course every player has to perform and earn their place every single day — that includes Cristiano. But when we look at the bigger picture of what this team needs right now, his qualities, professionalism, and what he continues to bring make him an essential part of our starting eleven. We trust him, and he continues to show every day why he deserves that trust.” {beIN SPORTS}

Beethoven could not hear the music he wrote. At the age of 28, he realized he was no longer able to listen to a flute being played in the distance, and he spent the rest of his life composing the most enduring music in Western history in almost complete silence... He had been a working musician since childhood. His ears were everything. In 1798, in the middle of a heated argument with a singer, he noticed for the first time that something was wrong. The sound was thinning at the edges. He could hear voices, but high frequencies were beginning to disappear. He told no one for years. By 1802, the truth was no longer deniable. On his doctor's advice he moved to Heiligenstadt, a quiet village outside Vienna, hoping the country air would help. It did not. There, alone and surrounded by farmland, he wrote a letter to his two brothers that he never sent. It was found among his papers after his death. We now call it the Heiligenstadt Testament, and it is one of the most devastating documents ever written by an artist about himself: "You men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the cause of my seeming so... what a humiliation, when one stood beside me and heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone heard the shepherd singing, and again I heard nothing." He wrote, in the same letter, that he had thought of ending his life. And then he wrote the line that explains everything that followed: "Only my art held me back. It seemed impossible to me to leave the world before I had produced everything I felt called upon to produce." He went back to Vienna. He went on composing. Over the next two decades his hearing continued to fade. Friends began writing their words down in small notebooks instead of speaking them aloud, and waiting while he read. Modern scholars call these the conversation books. Around four hundred of them survive. To compose, he developed his own methods. He bit one end of a wooden rod and pressed the other against the soundboard of his piano, letting the vibrations travel through his jaw to his inner ear. He had stumbled, through trial and error, onto the principle that modern science calls bone conduction. The cause of his deafness has never been settled. What we do know is this: he realized he was losing his hearing at twenty-eight, and he could have stopped. He wrote the letter, he held the thought of dying in his hand, and then he put down the pen and went back to work. Most of what he is remembered for was composed after that moment: The Fifth Symphony. The Seventh. The Ninth. The Missa Solemnis. The late quartets. All of it was made by a man who could no longer hear most of what he was writing. There are people who give the world what they receive, and there are people who give the world what they were never able to receive. The most enduring beauty in human history has almost always come from the second kind... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.
