I’m beginning to think maybe it was a less than optimal idea to get four (4) immunizations at one time. But who can say?🤷🏽‍♂️

In some ways, the biggest difference between me and a person who is "successfull in media" is this clip right here. Thompson is summoning every ounce of her strength to sit there and listen to sports praise of a sexual predator. I'd... lose my shit and get fired.

Although it’s a truism that a client with bad legal facts will test even the best lawyer, given how €114y got dog-walked in front of the Independent Commission, I doubt Lord Pannick has done much to justify his, reportedly, £5k/hr billing rate. 😳

the pope knows ball. this is precisely the line of reasoning that I’ve defaulted to. art, creation, creativity are distinctly human things that, by definition, cannot be created or replicated by machines. the human component is intrinsic and definitional.
Image of a tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads:

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Andy Burnham's comments today expose the situation of selling national football teams to foreign states. He's taking a view, at least in one reading of his comments, that corrupting the national game is not as big an issue as potentially losing foreign investment in Manchester.

Watch this in its entirety. A team went through their final 18 games winning 16, scoring 54, conceding 9. And it wasn't enough to win the league ahead of the biggest cheats in the history of world football. The following season, the squad was ridden with injuries due to this exertion. Farce. Get rid

On top of the ~£900m of disguised sponsorship deals, Manchester City's owner loaned them over £1bn which was converted into shares in 2013. Effectively this was a gift to the club as those loans were not paid back to the owner from the club. Mansour has really distanced himself from all of this.
