I see we're going for "bus seat chic" in our 3rd kit! #ncfc

Two Norwich players model the third kit, which looks like a bus seat design, on a bus

New branding for the updated business department has just been leaked

Wow. That *is* amazing. Completely crazy! Almost like that couldn't possibly be (and isn't) true!

Is it a secret plan to fight inflation?

Bit harsh of the Pinkun to refer to most of our youth players as "chaff" #ncfc

That is the same challenge facing attackers Botan Ameen, Dylan Jones and, more notably, Errol Mundle-Smith, as Clement sifts through the chaff while those in the sporting department plot the best route for their development.

I'd never heard of St Lucy so I googled her. This statue looks like she's done something horrible to Jar Jar Binks

That's what Ian says in his article, but marinetraffic.com has a lot of boats travelling through there, and I would've thought we would know if the Houthis were attacking them. Seems a little overly cautious

Doesn't this just sum up 2026

Very interesting article and I agree with almost all of it. I remain sceptical of this paragraph though. My experience is we "did it work?" is asked , but this drives some of the bias towards easily measurable "metrics", and undervalues relationships as an end in themselves

Rebalancing this is a precondition for making the dark matter fundable. A funding culture that took outcome risk as seriously as process risk - that asked “did it work?” as urgently as it asks “did the receipts arrive?” - would find the invisible infrastructure much easier to see, and much easier to support. It would also, over time, be less likely to fund the things that do all the steps and arrive nowhere in particular.

I see the Americans are inventing Europeans to get mad at again

A septic tank writes: I'm too lazy to argue allot it, but it's extremely funny to see Europeans claim that the United States has led majestic scenery and wilderness than their own

I'm feeling very excluded by Northern rail's advertising

I remember reading in the book below that in medieval times 1 in 3 adult men were involved in some way in the administration of the state (e.g. something official in their village). It always stuck with me that even in the feudal system you need community involvement to run a country

This is an incredible coincidence. I wonder if this has ever happened before?

Damn. If only Kafka had written anything so you didn't have to look for another author to complete your "Kafka-esque" metaphor!

Post saying "this is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy."

The list of special occasions you can choose in this restaurant booking page includes separate male and female birthday categories. I'm deeply curious as to how the restaurant would treat these differently

The middle paragraph here really hits home. I went to see Guz Khan last year and he started doing crowd work before he even told a joke

An except from the article saying "in the UK they have single-handedly turned stand-up from storytelling into aggressively demanding how everyone in the front row knows each other"

I'm ever an optimist, but we're getting a little ahead of ourselves no? 😂 #ncfc
