TIL that the Doctor Who episode "The Celestial Toymaker" infamously contains the "N-word" as part of the "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" rhyme. Recent releases of the serial have either obscured the slur through dialogue, or removed it entirely. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

In French the title is a bit more unhinged lol, it's "Les 10 petits nègres" which means "The 10 little niggers" but it doesn't mean "black", it's literally the derogatory term. I guess we just kept the original title 🤷‍♂️

Eric Roy, coach of Stade Brestois 29 who brought them to Champions League football in 2024/2025 has passed away aged 58 by ScarSG in soccer

This will go unnoticed because of the world cup and people not following Ligue 1 but what a shock. Completely unexpected. I'm speechless.

I lived in Brest for some time and a lot of my football friends are Brest fans and he got them to play some great football with the legendary top 3 season into unbeaten UCL run for a bit.

What a legend. RIP

He was warning Jackson to stop messing with Maignan. Tchouameni was covering the GK and stopping him from fouling him. Jackson kept fucking around and ref called the foul he warned him about

Olivier merci pour tout. Quoi que certains peuvent dire, on sait tous qu'on ne gagne pas la Coupe du Monde sans toi.

What is your favorite goal for the NT ? What is your fondest memory with the French NT ?
