A club guilty of a decade-long scheme to submit false financial information to the league, for the purpose of securing an unfair on-field advantage, should not only be thrown out of the league and have all its titles vacated, its owner should be compelled to sell the club.

Another round of "brilliant" negotiations is completed. The only difference this time is that Witkoff and Kushner came to deliver Putin's demands personally after kissing his boot in the Kremlin. We are on, what, 9th circle of this cycle? 1,5 years wasted and countless lives.

I can't remember a clearer smoking gun than that Channel 4 News footage. Nigel Farage and his senior aides all filmed discussing apparent plans to break the law by funnelling foreign money into British politics, plans which at least partly went ahead. A criminal investigation surely must follow

Not signing another attacker makes so little sense that I can only come to the conclusion that Alvarez hasn’t closed the door completely, so Arteta is hanging as late as possible, but if there’s no movement on that today, he’s going to make a last minute pivot for his next option.

While I get the ‘I don’t want want him as he’ll be off to Barca in a couple of years’ argument, if he came in, helped us win the CL (and maybe retain the PL) and then we got around what we paid for him, that’s a deal I’d take.

The “head of strategic futures” at OpenAI just went on an unhinged rant against social security sometimes I feel like these tech companies are actively trying to alienate as many normal people as possible

The main thing I have to say to the young generation of Americans is that your
grandparents and great-grandparents committed a kind of accounting fraud when they ran our country a century ago with social security, and at the time it was a reasonable affordance to grant our leaders, who were dealing with an economic depression and a world war, but nonetheless they did commit the fraud, and they ended up buying all sorts of extravagant things using the fraudulent gains, including what became the thing we now understand to be the high-modern technocratic nation-state, and that is glorious and also bad and all that, but the thing is there's still the issue about the accounting fraud, whose debt is coming due and is coming due fast.
It is best to consider this with as minimal residue of sentiment as possible, to really sit with it, to stare it coldly in the face.
Unwinding the great fraud of the high modernists is your job, whether you wish it to be or not.

I know a Polish couple. The husband works as a nurse in the NHS, the wife is a special needs assistant in a state school. They live in social housing where their kids (a boy & a girl, both teenagers, both born here) share a room. Reform’s stated policy is to deport them. What the fuck!?

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
