I have to admit that I didn’t know, and I even thought the Spanish player Cucurella’s look was quite original, when it comes to his hair, but I was unaware of this: If he let his hair grow , it’s so that his autistic son can easily recognize him when he watches him on TV. Truly, this Spanish team ❤️

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Obama to NBC: “There was a deal in place in which Iran had agreed not to develop nuclear weapons. “This administration — or a prior version of this administration — pulled out of it, which caused then Iran to develop more nuclear capacity. 1/2

@chadbourn.bsky.social It's interesting that the US administration is using the WHCD "event" as evidence that the White House ballroom should be built. Except that it's a private event, not associated with the White House, and attendees are invited by WHCA. One has nothing to do with the other.

Give me a break. All members of government attend events all over the country. This is no more a reason for a ballroom at the white house than turning the white house lawn into a golf course. Put some pants on and get serious.

Cracking article in the FT and really good summary of positions. Some quick points I. It is probably too late for Starmer, but is it too late for Labour II. Rhetoric has changed in the UK, but UK politics has yet to catch up III. Equally though, is the rhetoric representative of anything real? 1

Die hard MAGA supporters, using the "he says what we are thinking" argument will laugh at this. That's only so they can avoid the truth. The rest of us should be deeply concerned that any public servant communicates in such a manner. It shows deep anger and loss of control.

It’s insane watching the bulletins and headlines rolling in about a global energy crisis worse than the 1970s and not a single one mentions it’s all been caused by one crazy man for no reason. When Trump finally goes reputations will have been trashed and they’re irrecoverable.

This from last night explains why the US has a failing government. Trump: “i always like to hang out with losers because it makes me feel better. “I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. “I like people that like to listen to my success.”

I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

One way people in more urban areas differ from those in the sticks is this constant DoorDash debate. Cooking every day is a goddamn drag even when you like cooking. But having the option NOT to cook is a luxury. DoorDash doesn’t exist here. You can go get takeout. Not even pizza is delivered.
