Since we all really FELT that ancient pooch who wouldn’t drop the ball, I figured I may as well tell you a bit about dogs in ancient Mesopotamia. They leave traces everywhere, from bricks to burials to proverbs. Here’s a 4,000-year-old paw print of a pooch on a brick from ancient Ur

Mud brick with a cuneiform inscription near the middle and two paw prints on the left side.

Did I just get back from a viewing at Bonhams auction house in NYC of cat-themed art? Why yes- yes I did. Did I take pictures, including of these Chinese ceramic cats from the Qing Dynasty? Also yes! Will I make a thread of some of them? Indeed I will, which will include...

Important point for those saying (understandably!) oh now they'll just appeal for years...I believe they already have been appealing for 2+ years. And they have failed.

An example of one of the damaging knock-on effects of the fraudulent dealings, that likely will never be held to account: City's illegal spending didn't just acquire the best players, it rigged the entire market to put good players out of reach for most clubs.

The offside rule in football: by virtue of where he is standing, refusing to play the team of a genocidal Israel, Gavin Bazunu has just played every other Irish squad member, the FAI, UEFA, and the Irish government, offside.

And if you're a City fan you should be even more furious because players with the grace & skill of De Bruyne or Silva could potentially win titles without a thumb on the scales. But we'll never know because Pep & the board decided they'd fix the game just in case. It cheapens everyone it touches.

A club guilty of a decade-long scheme to submit false financial information to the league, for the purpose of securing an unfair on-field advantage, should not only be thrown out of the league and have all its titles vacated, its owner should be compelled to sell the club.

Just watched Obsession and uh...I did not care for it. Dunno why it was so lauded, honestly. Not scary, not funny (don't think it was meant to be, so not its fault, but if you're gonna have kind of a thin predictable horror, chuck in some laughs!), iffy sexual politics, just meh. 🤷‍♀️

This is a really good point. The right loves to reframe safety as a purely crime-related issue. And more serious threats to our well-being — including road safety — go unaddressed.
