This idea is great but there’s only one side here expected to extend any olive branches. All anyone on the right has to say to anyone of the left is some form of GFY. I don’t really know there’s much cordiality that solves that.

Th problem is that the teams play each other too often. Hearts are gonna have drink their Irn Bru before all the six-pointers against a resurgent Celtic down the stretch

I think it’s a deliberate slow down so people are forced to stay close to their stuff. You want the bags and the owners to be separated for only as short a time as possible.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court. It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate. Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law. Eyes wide open, folks.

They won’t right now, because they see their counterparts standing around on street corners in DC earning $50/hour. Might change when really bad things start happening though.

Lee is a legend and I love him because he was the right back, the position I played, when I grew up. BUT, he’s also a manc and a huge City fan. Pretty sure his dad played for in sky blue at some point.

That’s totally fair. I didn’t think through my DNS puns. Either way lots of work to do on the training ground. Made me think of that clip of Thierry where he talked about Arsene telling him to put himself in right positions for specific teammates to find him.

Wasn’t particularly pretty to watch but also it felt like we were just off by a little. A lot of good fast break opportunities just didn’t work out. To me seemed like a decent away performance, albeit with more time needed for this team.

If he can’t stop Putin killing people, then how is going to stop the war? Surely stopping people being killed is the first step in ending a war? It’s all just so dumb.

Ironically, this is what they want you to think they want when they spout their MAGA ideals. But MAGA is actually about returning to 1700’s slave-trade colonies.

Because that money goes to the race promoters who use it to cover the costs of staging the race. Other sports such as NFL, NBA, EPL etc., the teams are also hosting the sport in their stadia as well as being shareholders in the leagues themselves. The TdF just invites 20 teams to participate.

No, he know’s it’s a lie. They all know he’s a bad man but he got them the votes so they went along. Don’t for one second think that any of these scumbags are not aware. They just don’t care.

There is a clear reason. Public broadcasters tend to value facts, logic and holding officials accountable. None of those are convenient for the Republican kleptocracy

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

Remember, we *had* a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Because big companies worked out that good customer service is hard, especially in the fast-changing world of technology, and it’s just not worth the investment. People still use the tech if it’s unique enough so big companies pump all the money into product development and marketing.
