This makes sense — it’s just irresponsible to market a dangerous product like poptarts to adults

there's actually an interesting piece to be written about how it's not just the 2000 election that has tarnished Ralph Nader's legacy or "made him responsible for where we are now" etc etc but rather that his consumer focused, litigious and fundamentally NIMBY outlook was deeply misguided

"super intelligence" is actually the preferred nomenclature rather than "artificial intelligence," but only if you pronounce it in an extremely French accent

pretty straightforward for Man City to balance its books: Haaland goes on a one month loan to Abu Dhabi City FC, with ADFC paying a fair market value loan fee of $500 million

All the talk is about Man City circumventing football's financial fair play rules but this description suggests another word beginning with F. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

The purpose of these schemes was found to have been to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900 million during the affected period, to appear to comply with financial rules. The consequence of this, as the Commission found, was that the club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators. The Commission concluded that ‘by its conduct the club clearly intended to circumvent the PL Rules‘.

Zidane is juggling in training and his generationally talented players are scoring nutty goals dripping in invidual skill? i've seen enough, France are gonna do a Euros-World Cup-Euros winning cycle and Zidane will float back to his yacht off Mallorca

Worth noting that the Kol Nidre BS is a traditional antisemitic trope going back *literally* to the middle ages. It's in the same category as using blood to make matzoh. So, congratulations to Aladwan for going to the sources.

hot take: NYC primaries being scheduled in the middle of the summer *is* undemocratic, intentionally suppresses turnout, and supports corrupt machine tactics. it's bad. if it happened in a red state more people would call it intentional voter disenfranchisement (but still, very funny quote)

great point here from @themlg.bsky.social that the meat wall revolution arose after ~a decade of modern goalkeeping coaching telling keepers to not come off their line so much (which makes sense in a pre-meat wall era! and still makes a lot of sense of shot stopping) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha_n...
