A brioche bun is unsuitable for a burger. Eating it handheld, the sandwich will fall apart because the bun is too soft. Offering burgers on a brioche bun with no alternative is a woeful trend in American cuisine.

Virgil Van Dijk and Mo Salah will probably retire without a Ballon D'Or, yet Ousmane Dembele, who's been shite for years, scored a few goals in the Uber Eats League against farmers and security guards and will have one. What a fucking farce of an award.

"Horror isn’t merely about being scared: It’s about hopelessness and misery. What else is there to be frightened of? They’re the basis of the genre. This can be seen even in Beaumont’s most seemingly run-of-the-mill and ostensibly 'basic' short stories." thebulwark.com/p/hopeless-hor…

I vividly remember this occasion... It was 30 years ago. He interviewed me for a series for a Dutch TV channel. You can see in the picture the opening of a game I won against Wolfgang Uhlmann, sacrificing 2 pawns for a huge attack on the kingside. We analysed this game together

RIP to the great Dutch Grandmaster Jan Timman. He was the leader of the new Western generation after Fischer. Unlike many, he was a serious analyst and researcher who loved every aspect of the game, including compositions. He was at his powerful peak through the 1980s to 1993,

I’ve watched F1 for 17 years and have missed only 3 races in that time and right now I’ve never felt so un interested or invested in this artificial season so far. Everything feels off, like nothing feels genuine, shit engines, paid PR commentators, censoring bad comments, faking

Cancelled my FIA F1 subscription. It might not make a difference but that's also OK. Once they've changed the cars back F1 from Marion Cart I might subscribe again

Can someone explain why F1 has gone down this battery/EV route? We already have Formula E for that. Why not just let F1 be about the best and most powerful combustion engines?

"The FIA should divide its racing categories more clearly. Formula E would stay as an all-electric series, the World Endurance Championship ... becomes the home for hybrid power units and F1 returns to naturally aspirated internal combustion engines." telegraph.co.uk/formula-1/2026…

The former Dutch Empire teaches us a lot about the importance of capitalism in driving long-term success through the development of productive entrepreneurs. The Dutch became a leading empire by being open to the best thinking in the world. They became so inventive that they

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is
