UAE officials have warned the UK that a severe punishment for Man City could hurt future Emirati investment in Britain, Bloomberg reports. This is the perfect argument for keeping foreign money out of football.

The system, not Tuchel, led to World Cup failure but Euro 2028 offers new hope | Barney Ronay
England can learn from being five minutes from the final and they have home advantage and good players for Euro 2028 In the end, Steve, Brian, Gaz or similar, he’s just not done the job he was hired to do. The job? The one he was hired to do? He’s not done it. How can I put this? There are three things here. The job. The being hired. The doing it. And him. Four things. And if you put those things together, there is no clear equation of … no linear semiotic cluster, he’s not, he’s just not, what I’m saying is … How many times have you heard variations on this statement in the few short, tender weeks since England’s World Cup campaign? Perhaps you strayed too close to a sport-themed radio show, or accidentally ingested a celebrity football pundit podcast. Either way the verdict is pretty much universal, and delivered always with an air of finality, a sad shake of the head. Continue reading...

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate) It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

At the same time they agree a truth with the Houthis and ignore their security agreement with the Saudis, sending yet another clear signals to US allies. How the changing mood and uninformed gut feeling of a single senile man messes up the entire global order is just beyond belief.

The fallacy that University leaders pushing AI are falling into is thinking that the point of undergraduate research is to find things out. It isn't. What students find out is typically already generally known. The point of undergraduate research is to learn how to find things out.
