and everything they can that keeps his war going. And they will prevail. Edmund Burke said that all evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Well good men are doing something - and evil will not triumph, not in Ukraine.

Ugh. Really good point by Jay Harris on VftL that Spurs/RdZ may invest time and effort into getting Mudryk into good shape -neglecting Tel- so that he's in top condition to play for Chelsea next season Then Tel agitates to leave. Total Spursy/FFS possibility.

If gravitational lensing can cause light from an object to appear to come from different directions and appear to be different objects, what's to stop light from some objects being completely unobservable? Aren't these unobservable objects 'dark matter'? #Astronomy arstechnica.com/science/2026...

Damn. The 'losing to Citeh = good' debate was divisive; what about this one? A miserable 0-0 would be great, but that seems unlikely. If WHU beating ARS ensured a) a vintage bottling year for Arsenal, but also b) Spurs go down, would you prefer that or WHU losing & Spurs stay up? #THFC #COYS

I agree with this and wonder why it's so rarely mentioned, given that the gap behind Porro is a long-standing Spurs bug, along with the empty 18-yd line. Danso got stick today, but Porro deserves it too. How Porro let Tottenham down in defensive areas against Brighton: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Slightly baffled about the "winnable games" discourse around Spurs. The VftL pod has been referring to 3 winnable games, when realistically there's only one - Wolves. Even that's doubtful and over a month away - and we need that "winners bounce" badly. 1/2

"ICE is "dedicated to ensuring everyone that visits the facilites will have a safe and secure event." Remember that line. It'll will be used at polling stations across the US, as the Trump regime commits to intimidation and violence in order to retain power.

This is an amazing statement. I did not know that Trump is expecting *above ground* nuclear detonations, rather than highly-contained underground testing. It'd surely be a lot worse than Chernobyl's radiation pollution.

www.reuters.com/business/med... When the war ends, does anyone think Russia will just close these factories and pay everyone off? Is it not more likely that the factories will carry on making drones, and these drones will be deployed to European borders in order to terrify the likely targets?
