Ian Wright saying we shouldn’t forget the way the Iranian team and the Somali referee were treated. Correct.

In a long list of the crimes America has committed against the sport of football, condemning it to the inane thoughts of Alexi Lalas has to be at the top. #worldcup

I need research help! Writing about how we work around technology deficits in older populations. If you or your parents learned tech at a later age (ex: you played a video game at 40 for the first time because your kids got a console), I'd love to know what is easy and what's hard for you.

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

I missed the fourth update on the FM24 pentagon challenge where I was able to prevail in the African Champions League with Casric Stars, but I can finally say I've completed the final challenge and won in the European Champions League with Stade Rennais F.C!

Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights
"About the fund. The J.K. Rowling Women's Fund (JKRWF) offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women's sex-based rights [...]. It provides women with the means and confidence to bring to justice cases that make legal precedents, force policy change, and make positive contributions to women's lives in the future."

Reading a philosophy book section on informal fallacies, and the writer says insults are not per se ad hominem attacks, because "ad hominem" is when the insult is used to attack validity. So, "you have tiny balls" = OK "your views on set theory are wrong because you have tiny balls" = ad hominem

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.
Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

Imagine being the kind of weak, feckless loser who accelerates the spaceship to Warp 8, when Warp 9 is available. Pathetic. If my captain did that I would lose all respect for them, and immediately form a subcommittee to explore the possibility of broaching the subject of mutiny among the crew.

I think any sport where players do self-introductions should require them to also have sassy "Real Housewives" style one-liners as part of the intro. I want to see Patrick Mahomes strike a pose and say something like: "Don't throw a flag on the play, this passer likes it rough."

It isn't much, but I managed to win my first major league in Football Manager, taking J3 league side Azul Claro Numazu through the ranks to the highest point in Japanese Football. All the more satisfying after the pre-season ranking had us as 350-1 odds to win the league.
Preseason Ranking of 17th with 350-1 odds to win the title.Numazu top of the league
