Buy a load of Coca Cola products to try and complete that as well. That's the end of my spending on what was a fun hobby in the past which led to meeting people from around the world at local meetups and swapping stories of the beautiful game. But you have to draw the line somewhere.

The timing of Vancouver on the eve of hosting eye wateringly expensive World Cup 2026 games whilst the reality of its MLS franchise being sold to Las Vegas is crystallizing paints such an amazingly gross encapsulation of modern football. The "people's" sport has lost the plot. #VWFC #MLS #WC26

People are rightly tearing this apart, but it seems to me that the bigger picture is that it's the next step in a chain of logic that leads to "a war will help revitalise both our depressed economy and our aimless young men."

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture. This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.

It looks like the cover of a cheap 1970s sci-fi paperback called something like The Vanguard Projection, about a crazy emperor who's ravaged his entire planet to build a psychic machine that can send evil thoughts to everyone in the whole universe at once.

538 getting shut down on the day when they show that Trump's approval rating has now fallen into negative territory is suspicious timing. With 538 gone, it will be easier for Trump to pretend that he's popular and what he's doing is popular.

The golden gear is from the German Labour Party, a unit of the NSDAP, which was the only legal “union” left after 1934 when the SA ransacked Weimar union offices and dissolved them all. This isn’t a dogwhistle, it’s a slap in the face, a dare. We need to get this Nazi out of our government.
