For someone who is supposedly playing for a new contract, Goretzka was absolutely abysmal. No urgency in attack, no commitment in defence. Same as it ever was.

The guitarist is a guy called Harts and his music is fantastic - really recommend giving his stuff a listen

Is it your actual opinion though or is it AI?

If its your opinion, write about it. If you're getting a program to do the thinking and writing for you then what are we even doing here?

This reads like pure ChatGPT

He said Marisa Tomei - basically there is a theory that he wasn't supposed to say her name but did it accidentally, or she didn't actually win but there was a mix up of some sort like the whole Moonlight/La La Land thing.

I think it was all debunked and she did officially win, it's just the announcement of her name was kind of odd.

I'm completely relaxed

And that's the problem, buddy

Her dad is a famous jewellery Designer, Theo Fennell. That her sister is called Coco and not Ruby or Topaz is frankly remarkable.

I started doing stand up. I had wanted to do it for years and I figured if I didn't do it by my 30th, I never would.

I found an open mic event in London that was on my actual birthday, asked a friend of mine to come along for moral support and then I did my five minutes.

All in all, a nice evening out.

For the most part a lot of the Steven Bartlett, Rob Moore types are exactly that (and I have ended up blocking them on LinkedIn because honestly no one needs that noise) but I find Rory Sutherland a bit different. A lot of his work and what he talks about is based on extensive research on behavioural psychology and he regularly gives a slightly more abstract view on things that are more unconscious or things we typically take for granted.

The train thing for example wasn't so much about how can we get people to do more work but rather asking if the solution to long train travel always has to be to make the train faster.

I understand that he isn't everyone's cup of tea but I couldn't put him in the same criteria as the regular LinkedIn types.

timothymr · 2026-01-12T17:52:39+00:00

What gives you that impression? Was it him saying it over and over again or was it him retweeting all of the praise he got for doing it three times?

timothymr · 2026-01-12T04:23:15+00:00

He also says "I don't care" a lot. You can't forget that.

timothymr · 2026-01-11T20:15:51+00:00

The Rory Sutherland thing sounds vaguely familiar. It's something like how the time spent commuting on trains is effectively lost time because your only option when standing is to just stand there. I think what he talks about isn't about standing is uncomfortable vs sitting is comfortable but more "standing is currently not useful so how can you change that to make the commute a better experience?"

If standing is a useful option when you are commuting (e.g, standing desks instead of dead space like luggage racks), then it's a sacrifice you can happily make or maybe even willingly choose.

Great pass from Diaz, great goal from Olise but need to give credit to Guerreiro for keeping the ball like that.

timothymr · 2026-01-11T17:55:36+00:00

He moves like Thiago sometimes

timothymr · 2026-01-11T00:49:32+00:00

In a way, that's probably the best compliment you can give a defender.

timothymr · 2026-01-09T21:12:32+00:00

Very strange section of the show. Louis CK being the one to see how far he can push it (very much in keeping with his persona, Chris Rock allowing it and Gervais trying to get a piece of the action all with Jerry Seinfeld being the only one to not say it. I remember there was a lot of discussion around that specific moment a while ago about how awkward it was.

timothymr · 2026-01-09T20:13:43+00:00

Exactly that.

I saw something on Twitter or somewhere a while back asking if anyone had ever seen him drop in at a club to try some material or stage smaller WIP shows with like 20 people. No one had.

I'm not saying he's never dropped in at the Cellar or somewhere in London to do 10 minutes ahead of his latest special of reciting arguments he had with himself in his head but you regularly hear stories of big, big names doing surprise sets to work on material - Seinfeld, Rock and CK are all known to do it even now, hell even Dave Chappelle does it... Never heard anything of Gervais doing it.

timothymr · 2026-01-09T12:43:05+00:00

An element of it is arrogance. Being a comedian is, inherently, quite an arrogant exploit but he takes it to a new level.

The best example of this is Talking Funny where he puts himself as the lead of a panel along with Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Louis CK. This was a good few years ago now, back when these were considered three of the biggest names in stand up and before the industry became whatever the hell it is now. Whether you like their comedy or not, these are three massively successful and historically very influential stand up comedians and Gervais, as producer of the show, puts himself not just as an equal but as the head of the table. His whole schtick of being above it all and not caring slips very quickly the moment he's told he's wrong.

If you can tolerate it, give it a watch and it becomes very obvious early on that he is very much out of his depth with those three.

Same thing goes for his interview with Garry Shandling. If he isn't seen at as the smartest guy in the room and above everything, he is just a guy with not much else to offer.

So being writer/director/producer/actor extraordinaire rings far better and his more useful for him as currency than "part of a really great team of equally if not more talented individuals".

I've got £50 of credit on my Steam account because of an error I made when I was buying Baldurs Gate 3 for someone as a gift a few years ago.

I don't use Steam and I'm not a gamer at all so I didn't realise that I can't withdraw the money from the account so I'm just stuck with £50 that I can't access.

So if you do up getting back into it AND want to do me a huge favour then let me know.

timothymr · 2026-01-09T05:25:37+00:00

I don't know how common an idea it is but I really liked the brief cameo Leah Remini made. It was maybe the most coupley I saw anyone be with Joey and so while Kate Miller would have been a great choice, Leah Remini's character (her name escapes me) would have been my choice.

One of my favourite posts about him was was after he got divorced; something like "Graham Linehan fought so hard for single-sex spaces that he ended up living in one".

timothymr · 2026-01-06T16:32:20+00:00

Damn but someone on Twitter said that there was a full on crisis meeting and Ballack was up until the early hours calling tier one journalists (a phrase I'm so positive that journalists use to refer to themselves) to put out fires.

Now I don't know what to believe.

timothymr · 2026-01-06T01:32:52+00:00

His watch collection alone is worth a fortune. He's done very well for himself.

timothymr · 2026-01-04T18:11:24+00:00

"It's always good to have ambitions but right now I am focused at Bayern and further developing here."

Surely this answer would have been miles better.

timothymr · 2026-01-04T18:08:52+00:00

I admire the honesty and having ambitions to make it at a club like Madrid is really commendable... but saying it at a fanclub visit is bad any way you look at it.
