Welp.. that’s that then. Can’t see anything other than a city win, despite the atmosphere.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said. Your football club isn't hurt if people criticise it. Honour doesn't require that you defend it and attack its perceived enemies. And if you find yourself doing this, you've probably had a serious loss of perspective and identity.

Does sportswashing get any more powerful than if it leads a football fan to declare that "I don't care if we get relegated or if we don't win another trophy for the next ten years" provided the owners of the club seek to persecute the people who exposed their monumental cheating?

Feels like City's proxies have got up off the canvas and are coming out swinging. It's quite some mental judo - just two days after the journalist who did most work to put City in the dock wrote about the abuse and threats he suffered from their fans - to try and turn this back on the media.

I don't care if we get relegated or if we don't win another trophy for the next 10 years as much as I now care about Man City suing the football media and the journalists who have been stoking up hate against the club and it's fans.

Irresponsible and dangerous.

From a historical perspective it's a genuinely strange state of affairs that the Church of England turns out to be too woke for much of the modern right. But really it just feels like: having a consistent moral code that demands taking Lessers and Outgroup seriously is impossible for populist right.

Nick. Sorry to ask this here but your appearances on BlueSky are rare 😅 I recall you saying that you thought or had heard that a skies of Arcadia remake/remaster was in the works? I was wondering if you have any update on that?

I thought the movie was ‘ok’ too much gags / humour which isn’t what I personally wanted from a RE movie. I did appreciate though some of the fantastic things the director did with certain camera shots and the music is great.

I’m not from the US, but in the UK employers are required to perform a level of back ground checks (that range from criminal, employment history and credit score) Does the US have these? And if so, what checks were performed for this person? If not, why not?

BlueSky is fast becoming a less pleasant place to be. Pile ons, snide comments and blantant hypocrisy from <redacted> Still.. it’s not run a by a literal Nazi, so every cloud i suppose.

I fall into this camp. I have a gaming PC, but it needs to be upgraded. My office has my PC, desk, tv, switch and an Xbox. *if* the helix is £1000 then that’s going to outperform my current PC and series X at a fraction of the cost of a series 5090 (which is supposedly) the performance target.

Manchester City supporters (and the people of Manchester) should be furious. Because the first people who have had the piss taken out of them is them. Even now the City statement takes the piss. You are meant to back this pile of bullshit, it says. You are meant to back it unquestionably.

"I'd advise editors to ask themselves: if you never get women pitching your site or applying for your jobs, why is that? Do you read female writers- and if not, why? Do you talk to women about whom they are reading, or do you only talk about work with other men? Not all of our biases are conscious."
