Apologies for this non-sequitous rambling: K-Mag in 4th is nice, but the only drawback of this qualifying format is that a late red flag takes out any form of drama. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that Sainz is ballsing up his big opportunity here, it's between him and Latifi between who goes off the most every weekend. Hearing Charles speaking fluent Italian is great, having qualifying at a time when the majority of Europe are at work remains the stupidest decision they've made in recent years*. I've not seen Lewis that dejected in a post-session interview for a long time*, and Sky's line up of Natalie Pinkham, Naomi Schiff, Paul di Riesta and Nico Rosberg via satellite is a strange one. *Not including Abu Dhabi '21

On the plus side for Simmons' mental health, if the Nets keep playing like they did in the fourth quarter of game 2 there won't be a game 5 in Boston for him to worry about.

Middleton out for 2-3 weeks with an MCL sprain to hinder the Bucks, meanwhile Ben Simmons is aiming to be back for Game 4 to hinder the Nets.

Pokémon Scarlet/Violet is definitely my biggest anticipation, other than that the only AAA games I can think of I'm looking forward to are the two DC games loosely from the Arkham-Verse, Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights, although it might be the PS6 era before they actually come out. If NeatherRealm ever shed some light on what their next game will be then I'll add that to the list, particularly if they skip Injustice and go straight to Mortal Kombat 12, the same with a new Forza game which has been loosely mentioned. Two Point Campus is coming out in May for GamePass which should be fun.

It's finally here:

Great win for the Wolves in Memphis tonight, wasn't expecting any road wins in the series (and I'm still not expecting us to win the series). I do expect us to become a hated team pretty quickly as we seem perfectly happy to beat the crap out of opposing teams. I'm expecting a Suns/Bucks finals again, anyone but the Nets is what really matters to me because of Kyrie. I'm aware there's other anti-vax players, but the publicity he's got for it is horrifying.

My bad, sorry everyone.

I don't want to say I'm starting to have faith, but this is the most consistent I've seen us play since the Poch times, and Kane is a different player to the one who meandered through the first half of the season. And there's a fourth, so I really should point out how well Son and Kulusevski are playing too.

Very sad news. From a football perspective everything coming out of the Steelers camp was that he was working hard, had a much improved attitude and would have been a contender for the starting job. From a human being standpoint to lose your life at just 24 is horrifying and his family and friends must be devastated.

The biggest UK daytime TV news in what feels like a generation has broken: Richard Osman is leaving Pointless.

I strongly endorse the concept of a 48 team tournament.

I don't know if it was to keep the game at a lower age rating, but some of the "censoring" they've done to the Skywalker Sage in Episode II is... unpleasant. For example:

I have been waiting so, so long for Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga, and I would have been devastated if it was bad. Thankfully it's fantastic. The scale of the game, especially when compared to the previous Lego Star Wars games, is breathtaking, and the Lego humour is there in abundance as well.

That is less than 2 passes (not assists, just passing the ball) per game from Mitchell to Gobert. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're not great team-mates.

This is going rather nicely. Moura and Begwijn coming off the bench are such a threat.

The thing about the British accent is so easily explained in-universe though. He's not British, he's an American mercenary putting on a British accent as part of his Steven Grant persona.

I enjoyed it a lot as well, and from a meta perspective the first episode contained almost everything they revealed in the trailers, so the next five episodes will all be more surprising.

It should be noted that the arrival of these extra American races and the government sponsored races like Imola are paving the way for races to be dropped. The races that pay Liberty the least are Belgium, France and the UK...

I don't think anything pre-planned would involve Smith swearing twice on a live broadcast, and I assume that Rock not defending himself is based on not expecting that he would be physically attacked in a million years.

But it sure picked up again. What a battle that was between Charles and Max.

Think I might be done with it now after 2 fails in 2 days. Never even heard of yesterday's word, and today's feels like the sort of word you'd use to piss people off in Hangman.

Mick seems to be OK, but there's no chance of fixing that car for tomorrow (and I doubt he'd be cleared). Sergio! 215th race, first pole! After this week for Italy though I'd really appreciate a Ferrari 1-2 tomorrow .

Lewis out in Q1, but everything being overshadowed by a horror crash for Mick. Thankfully he's conscious and talking but I hope there's no serious injury.
