7 seconds. It should be physically impossible to win a game like that. Justice for the bullshit pass interference on the previous drive. Incredible stuff.

RTÉ not showing Jack Moylan's celebration in the HT highlights. He kissed the black armband and pointed to the Israeli fans, before kissing the Ireland badge.

The burden shouldn't have been on them, but it was, and they bottled it. Useless cunts. Aaron Rowe had a lot more to lose and made the right choice.

Israeli journalist really going after Heimir Halgrimmsson for working in Qatar and not condeming Hamas. Heimir responds by praising the Emir. This is fucking mad.

Are Sky Sports aware they don't need to have Jamie Redknapp on every single football match they air? Has anyone told them this? It's worth a try.

Fulham have had some dodgy commercial partnerships in recent years, but Chelsea take the biscuit with a fucking crypto shirt sponsor. Scarlet for whoever wears one of those in public.

It's mental how it's the done thing now to trash cities for political points. Glasgow getting it tight now. Every city is shite if you seek out the shite bits it's not a new thing and it's driven by poverty rather than "immigrants"...same as it always was.

Very annoying that we gifted a couple of goals to Chelsea. Could've easily gotten something out of that game tonight. #ffc

Don't really get this insistence that Palmer should've gone to the World Cup. He could barely run last season! He desperately needed the summer off.

The British Media Vs. Plagiarism
4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
British Journalists are relaxing on lilos in the sea. Someone on the shore yells “Hey Guys! An academic got accused of plagiarism”

Panel 2: 
One of the journalists sticks out their tongue and says “Pffft. Wake me when there’s a real story”

Panel 3: 
Person on shore “He was black”

Panel 4: 
The sea explodes as a tidal wave of British Journalists erupt into the air, manic and desperate to report on this now vital for some reason piece of news

Media doesn’t “make” anyone do or believe anything. But it does provide permission structure and prioritization for what people think society will accept them doing or believing. This can be much more powerful and determinative than the seterotypical didactic propaganda we typically imagine.

NEW: CWA union members have inflated a giant rat and deployed a wall of red flags representing laid off Xbox workers outside the Bethesda office in Rockville. The protest was timed to coincide with a visit from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who is apparently at the studio today.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Mayo have done really well to fight back and get in front, but they are missing some good scoring chances now. They've let Kerry get back into this.

Mayo should pack it up. Dissolve the football team. Take up hurling or something. Just stop wasting our time.

It's interesting how, anecdotally amongst friends, the Sony announcement has killed their interest in buying anything for PlayStation 5 completely. Like, they just totally dropped it. Even folks that do not participate in online discourse. I'll be curious if this has any real impact in the long term
