Going by Braverman’s definition, England are finishing this game with only two Englishmen on the park. Croatia should claim the points.

Good luck to Pocognoli. Hopefully he’ll create a team that’s positive and brave on the ball. Whatever way you cut it, though, for a country obsessed with the game, the dearth of technically gifted footballers is utterly depressing.

For non-soccer fans: this scandal is basically a microcosm of what is going on everywhere re: the ultra-wealthy doing whatever they want because they can. Man City cheated like hell. But here is the prime minister implying they’re just too valuable to the UK to hold to account. It sucks

I gave up on having any more than a passing interest in the EPL a long time ago, when the mega money from private and state linked wealth started flooding in. Guardiola doesn’t surprise me - he was for long the poster boy for this grotesque state of affairs. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

You have to marvel at the wonder of some of these social media tropes. The ‘Cultural Marxism’ one has Marxists, free-market capitalism, and organised false consciousness colluding to undermine western society and Christian values in order to usher in global communism. Clever, eh? #marxism #qanon

Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US. Antidepressants save women's lives—& they're safe. So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants?
A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."
