Trump, his goon squad, and (of course!) the Israeli’s started a war today from his fucking golf course, and killed 80 elementary schoolgirls by mistake. My Prime Minister high fived those sociopaths in his official response, when what he should have said was this. Disgusted to be a Canadian today.

You should be ashamed.

Weird that it’s someone on the German FA, but you love to see it. Long may it continue.

Come on, man. You’re smarter than that. RFK has for sure already eaten a homeless person.

Best keep Matty K away from virgins if that’s the case, since that sounds an awful lot like his nightly boudoir routine.

This is a terrible abuse of the em dash, sir.

Oof. That’s dark. Sending thoughts and prayers.

If only they could get around that whole airplanes taking off every few minutes thing, they’d be well on track to decarbonization.

Shit. This is more excellent, scary work, Jules. Do you know if they’ve applied the same National Special Security Event designation to the 2026 World Cup?

FIFA’s 2026 World Cup could emit 70 million tons of CO2 with deadly human costs The 2026 World Cup will be the biggest yet, and possibly the most destructive. College professor Tim Walters projects that the World Cup could emit nearly 70 million tons of CO2 and lead to the premat...

My latest for @playthegame-org.bsky.social, where I attempt a true cost carbon accounting of the Canada-Mexico-USA World Cup, and conclude that it will be the deadliest sporting event in history, producing emissions that will kill more than 70,000 people. I call this madness "Infantinocide."

"Infantinocide" or degrowth football.

More excellent, depressing reporting from @josimarfootball.bsky.social. Really important to support this kind of journalism, so subscribe to Josimar if you are able - they’re on the ropes and need the support right now, and it would be a tragedy if we lost this resource. There is no one like them.

Really enjoyed being a part of this conversation about FIFA, the World Cup, and the climate emergency, organized by the great folks at the Sport Ecology Group.

Someone sneak some salmon jerky into Trump’s pockets.

Bayern Munich fans at the Club World Cup held up a banner saying "world football is more poorly governed than before" and "smash FIFA".

They are not going out on a limb here.
