"Man whose leaks of private documents prompted the investigation into City has been advised not to return home, contact family members or visit crowded places". That club needs to be nuked from space, the ground salted, and gallows left standing to warn others. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on £10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.
A bunch of mugs celebrating their perceived impunity

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

Personally I am most fond of the King, a century old oversized urinal that was outlawed because it was so big a child could drown. No more welcome vessel for a piss break than this North Star of urinal grandeur.
The biggest most elegant urinal: named the King.

A £900m bombshell … and the rest
Morning. There’s only one place to begin this morning and that’s the Premier League releasing a statement on the Man City charges. It dropped late yesterday afternoon, and suffice to say it’s a bombshell. If I wasn’t expecting them to be found guilty of 114 of 115 charges, I also didn’t expect the explanation to […] The post A £900m bombshell … and the rest appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Steve Yzerman's time in Detroit is probably best defined by what he didn't have in Tampa: an AGM that pushed him, and an owner that was accountable On that dynamic and how it explains how we got here as the Red Wings are a mess right before opening night www.shapshotshockey.com/p/steve-yzer...

A personal view, borne from investigating illegal betting networks, is that one of the best ways to fight financial crime is to criminalise the enablers; the lawyers, accountants and trust managers who are perfectly aware of the criminal nature of their clients' activities but choose to look away.

How does a league charge a club with what it did, have independent arbitrators determine guilt, and then let that team stick around? It’s infeasible for City to continue in the PL. Every day they remain they stain the brand, the competition, everything. There’s no solution other than expulsion.

Man City’s staggering rule-breaking has left the Premier League with only one option
Found guilty on all but one of more than 100 charges, the club’s behaviour casts doubt over an entire era of football. How, Miguel Delaney asks, can they be allowed to remain in the top flight?

Reading the independent report into Man City's financial "arrangements" now, stopping after every paragraph, saying "Jesus"..."JESUS!"..."Holy fuck!" and again. This is beyond anything anyone imagined. Also started to wonder whether criminal proceedings are in the picture now.
