Across four days Manchester United have lost the 199th derby to Manchester City, were told by JJ Gabriel he wants to leave, and have now been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Brighton.
Capitulating after being 2-0 up may be the pick of these dizzying blows, and when Marcus Rashford skated in with the chance to take the tie to 3-3 late on, there was no surprise he hit Jason Steele rather than the net.

Ronaldo had called for lifetime bans for those supporters
The Saudi Pro League club Al-Taawoun have been fined nearly £20,000 and given a two-game stadium ban after fans chanted about the late Liverpool and Portugal forward Diogo Jota.
The Al-Hilal midfielder Rúben Neves, who played with Jota for Wolves and Portugal, was shown gesturing to the sky after audible chants of “Jota” from Al-Taawoun fans could be heard during Saturday’s league game.

It is rarely a good idea to dismiss Xhaka but reaching that showpiece in Frankfurt will necessitate considerably more efficient finishing on his team’s part than proved evident on a highly evocative night on Wearside.

‘No one is more hurt than me, no one wanted it more’
Thomas Tuchel stands by his heavily criticised defensive substitutions in the World Cup semi-final defeat against Argentina this summer, but the England head coach accepts he made them too early.
Tuchel said England were “waiting for death”, unable to cope with the attacking tactics adopted by Argentina in Atlanta as they chased the game after Anthony Gordon’s opener on the hour. He said fatigue and the success of defending with a back five in knockout games against Mexico and Norway also influenced his decisions to sit on the lead.

Unfortunately for Coventry, it was a sorry case of more of the same. Frank Lampard’s side have lost five of their six matches in all competitions and continue to leak soft goals. It was hard to know whether Abraham’s tap-in or Barkley’s free header, both from corners, was worse from a Coventry perspective. The sight of Lampard hunched in the dugout, hands clasped, has become a familiar sight.

The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to hold billionaire investor Leon Black in contempt of Congress over his refusal to comply with subpoenas issued to him by the House oversight committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The action came a day after the committee voted unanimously to recommend that the House hold Black in contempt. Wednesday’s House vote passed under unanimous consent, meaning there was not a formal roll call, but no member objected to the contempt resolution.

The timing could hardly be better. After a week when the discourse around women’s sport has been dominated by the actor Sydney Sweeney posing naked – and the intense backlash and counter-backlash – London will stage a major all-female track‑and‑field event on Friday.
A sell-out crowd at the Athlos meeting at the StoneX Stadium in Hendon will feature Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson, along with the American stars Gabby Thomas and Tara Davis-Woodhall, competing for a prize fund of $1m (£750,000). There will be a red-carpet parade, celebrities galore and a celebration of the best of female sport.

The last year i switched from `tail -f` and `journalctl -f` to `lnav`. It's a modern logfile navigator which helps you find what you are looking for. Today I had a nagging little problem because some logs end in journald and some just as file. When you want to follow sources from both, the solution might not be so obvious.

The gang from Craighill explains the origins and uses of three seemingly small design details that show up everywhere: pips, nubs, and the very useful union of pips and nubs. You’ve seen pips on dice and dominos, nubs are used for Braille text, and the pips/nubs combo is used for locks or stops that can be released under pressure. Craighill even has a pips + nubs category in their online store. (thx, rion)
Dear Reader,
The New York Times recently asked dozens of 10-year-olds what the world will be like in 2050. Some are hopeful: a woman will finally be president of the U.S., people will be more kind, and everyone will have a pet fox. Others, though, feel as if they’ve been plucked straight from a dystopian hellscape: world wars, monarchic rule supplanting voting, embedded brain sensors that send your thoughts straight to an app, and the end of human civilization entirely. Whether optimistic or not, these children mention A.I. again and again. In their futures, it’s an inextricable fixture of life.
A.I.’s exponential growth has accelerated fears about its power, prompting numerous executives and technologists to warn that it’s time to slow such rapid expansions. Whatever your feelings, it’s clear that we’re collectively witnessing a moment that will shape our world for generations.
For artists, illustrators, designers, and writers like me, A.I. is not only a threat to our livelihoods but to the very substance of our humanity. The question is not whether a bot could create a technically proficient painting or describe a sculpture with more insight than I could, but rather about what we lose from outsourcing the singular technology that is ours. Art is uniquely human and one of the greatest drivers of empathy and connection with one another. As I’ve come to understand, it’s also a true act of faith in a world that can make hope feel impossible.
For the past seven years, I’ve spoken with thousands of curious and creative people striving each day to draw attention to the misunderstood, the overlooked, and the unimaginable. Artists are uniquely primed to envision alternative ways of being, and in their profound acts of generosity, they share their hopes for the great and small with us. Their faith, in turn, becomes something we can all take part in.
Colossal operates on generosity, too, propelled not by an algorithm or an A.I. model but by a devoted team of just four people. We strive to ensure that the widest array of readers, from students and educators to fellow creatives and art appreciators, have the opportunity to engage with artists’ work they might not otherwise encounter. We also prioritize a deeply human process. Every facet of the magazine, from selecting images to writing headlines to compiling our daily newsletter, is done with our hands.
Although we certainly could be more efficient if we automated and outsourced our efforts, we know that would be the end of what makes Colossal what it is. We understand that in embracing friction, we’re supporting the artists, illustrators, designers, and more who have so generously shared themselves and their dreams with us. We’re also actively creating the world we want to live in.
But we can’t do this alone. An intentional and people-powered process like ours requires real resources, and less than 0.5% of our weekly readership financially contributes to Colossal. Increasing that support to 1% would mean cementing our long-term survival and ensuring we can continue to celebrate the unbridled human creativity that has come to characterize the magazine for the last 16 years.
Becoming a Colossal Member is both an act of generosity and a direct line to the work that matters. Colossal Members believe in the power of creativity and have faith that it can help usher in a better tomorrow. When there’s a rapid shift to sleek, frictionless life, they champion the nuanced, messy, and idiosyncratic, and the art that can only be made by humans, for humans.
Yours in hope,
Grace Ebert

NEW YORK (ANP) - De aandelenbeurzen in New York zijn woensdag met overwegend rode cijfers gesloten. De aandacht van beleggers op Wall Street ging vooral uit naar het rentebesluit van de Federal Reserve. Zoals verwacht verhoogde de Amerikaanse centrale bank de rente voor het eerst in meer dan drie jaar om de hoge inflatie te bestrijden.
De Fed verhoogt de rente met een kwart procentpunt, wat een unaniem besluit was van de beleidsmakers bij de centrale bank. De Fed voorziet later dit jaar nog een verhoging van de leenkosten in 's werelds grootste economie. Met de verhoging gaat de Fed wel in tegen de vurige wens van president Donald Trump voor een lage rente. Trump vindt dat de Amerikaanse rente de laagste ter wereld moet zijn.
De Dow-Jonesindex eindigde 1,2 procent lager op 51.461,90 punten. De brede S&P 500 daalde 0,5 procent tot 7551,81 punten en de technologiegraadmeter Nasdaq was vrijwel onveranderd op 25.978,43 punten.
