"Suggest you google this guy" Manchester City Council responded to my 2013 Freedom of Information request for details of their deal with Manchester City by flagging my background to City's chief communications officer. Deeply inappropriate (and that's being generous).

Man City should be dissolved. Nuked from orbit. The owners can't continue as owners of any football club. All their titles stripped. That lad with the water bottle forced to do a penitent's walk through Islington. Etc.

This strikes me is a common misunderstanding of the argument for humanities education, which is not that it serves as some sort of individual inoculation, but rather than it produces a citizenry more capable of self-governance when distributed widely, especially for decision-makers of every kind.

"it's good to be evil actually" is sophistry, obviously, but what you need to understand is that it is literally just ayn rand talking points rewritten. they keep doing this!

Thinking even of this summer, and the Elliot Anderson fee's impact on every single deal to follow. It's hard to fathom how much this has altered everything.

the book should be thrown at City but fundamentally the Stone of Shame is attached to them, they're cheats, they're forever cheats, nobody is going to remember any "well ackshully", only that they cheated

It seems unlikely Manchester City will be punished in a way that adequately addresses almost a decade of systemic cheating used not only to win silverware but also to build an illegitimate foundation as a platform for continued success. But this is a modicum of vindication.

The thing about the consistent, ubiquitous framing of these as personal appeals to Trump is that it starts to look like a mix of parasocial fandom and religious supplication. But then that also looks like American Protestantism, which then resembles photos of praying around Trump as a holy vessel.

Fully expecting this to be based on a tiny self-selected sample predisposed to aggression, with participants coached on how to act, exaggerated performances for observers, all run by a host with a flair for showmanship but questionable ethical instincts. You know, a direct replication
