I went to batting cages with my mate who played county juniors a few times in Japan. Being able to see the animation of the bowler helped a lot, it seemed like you are swinging based on the release of the ball not the flight because it’s going way too fast.

Almost no people in Western Europe physically capable of looting who are starving, almost every who starves has a severe eating disorder or elderly and it’s a result of them not being cared for properly. I’ve lived in council estates, everyone’s fat like everyone else
“Your shops that got looted were nice, okay, but we’re starving.” People looked this girl up and her dad is a corporate executive who worked for Shell. What a smug psychopath.

I think I would get burden at the stake during the up coming cutural revolution when my ubereats bill gets leaked.
You know the UK is fucked when people are arguing that £300 a month for food for a single person is too much. It's fucking £10 a day.

Sophia has been married 3 times cumulatively for less than 5 years, she at least speaks from experience on getting divorced
"Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper & actress Sophia Bush: if a woman is questioning whether she can do better than her current husband, "the answer is always yes." "This idea that it's too late or you're too old, or who are you to want more, that's patriarchy. That is crazy."

England the place that historically runs a small deficit or surplus is skint vs the country that’s got a bigger deficit than Greece during the financial crisis.
Kinda mad how much of England tells Scotland we are a drain and can fuck off. Yet look at them coming for more north sea oil when they are fucking skint.

JPM and MS competing for who will do the merger transaction of these large companies and make significant fees
$SPCX - JPMORGAN DOUBLES SPACEX PRICE TARGET TO $500 JPMorgan raised its SpaceX price target from $240 to $500, maintaining an Overweight rating. The bank now forecasts $254 billion in 2027 revenue and 10 GW of computing capacity by year-end, more than doubling its 2027–2028 estimates. JPMorgan also sees strategic merit in a potential SpaceX–Tesla merger, though no deal is guaranteed.
