Are we getting rid of wheel covers this year? Are are the teams just not including them because the cars look better without?

It appears to demonstrate that it's very much profit over principles and values.

I was talking about the multi-coloured Christmas decorations of our childhood yesterday. In addition to these foil things, we also had multi-coloured tinsel hung around the edges of the ceiling and wrapped around anything hung on the wall (just like the clock in the image). Good times.

There’s a legal challenge coming in Feb due to that fact that it is virtually impossible for rival candidates to get enough support to run for president.

I was rooting for this until I learned that challenge is coming from Bernie Ecclestone’s wife. Seems a bit suspect on the face of it.

This whole thing has got the whiff of money and influence.

I'll be honest, at about the 70 minute mark I thought Wales were utterly cooked. Delighted for the win. I hope it gives the team some valuable experience, but woof! Lots to work on.

"There is no hiding or sugar coating. As a club, management, coaching staff and players we all recognise that results so far during this season have been well below expectations to say the least. We always envisaged this first season being very difficult, with the late takeover of the club, the resulting late recruitment and the sole focus of ensuring we just had a team on the ice. We expected highs and lows, but certainly not the level of frustrations we’re currently experiencing."

“My hope for meaningful change to the governance of Welsh rugby has all but disappeared. My faith in the current leadership of the WRU has disintegrated. It’s quite clear now that the leadership of the WRU is not going to do anything radical (even if they use this word) or change the future structure to anything other than a smaller-scale version of what we already have.”

I’m not sure I agree with everything in this, but there is a niggling voice in the back of my head that the WRU isn’t going far enough and fast enough to truly improve the future of the game in Wales.

Ha! Bad consultancy is bad consultancy, regardless of whether it’s delivered by a person or AI. I’ve worked with some great consultants, but it’s very much the minority. So this feels like a natural commoditisation of the shitty consultancy model.

Perhaps the more worrying aspect, is at least there’s a finite number of shitty human consultants at any one time. AI would remove that constraint.

Yep. I agree with this. Re-creating Reddit at the same scale just brings all the same problems. I like that federation means smaller more localised communities that can be connected (or not). I get that it’s not what everyone wants or is used to, and that’s okay.

Rejection of fascism and racism is good not just for New Yorkers, but more widely Americans. The optimist in me also likes to think that this is a signal to politicians and political parties everywhere that you can challenge far right populism and win, rather than absorbing elements of it to attract voters. (Labour continue to disappoint me in this respect)

I think the challenge for Mamdani now (as I suppose it is for any progressive who gets voted in) is actually making positive change happen at the rate that people want and need it. There will be a lot of people waiting to leap on failure, including some Democrats.

I knew it was going to emotionally manipulate me, and it still got me.

Sadly for Wales, I don’t think we’ve found rock bottom yet. Change takes time and the WRU have an awful lot of foundational systemic stuff to fix.
