Who is going to write the thinkpiece about VAR showing us how rules can reinforce, rather than combatting, corruption and discrimination simply by being unequally applied?

I assume that this goal doesn’t count because VAR shows that Ziko didn’t finish his vegetables before dessert once when he was 12

Listening to the Spice Girls’ first album to transition to bedtime. Which I could say is because of the World Cup but honestly I have done this multiple times in the last week or so.

It’s funny when an airline is like, “Hey, just wondering, no reason: do you want to switch up your upcoming flights? If you do, we’ll totally waive the difference in fares and any fees, because we’re so chill and always thinking of you.” That’s because it’s a favor you’re asking me to do for you.

When I am physically in a public space I also want to be among people and somewhat “exposed” in that way but within a personalized sense of safety. Is that not typical?

I guess I don’t see how this is a (much less the) problem with Bluesky. If this is the vibe he feels that most users are deliberately cultivating, then presumably it’s working for them. There’s a difference between a problem and a thing that makes something just not for you.
