Amidst all the high level corruption and made up prizes for cunts that FIFA are involved with, they've now fundamentally changed the game for advertising revenue (dressed up as player welfare).

That we can't have 45 minutes without an ad-break is absurd. #InfantinoOut

Spurs are worse than Sunderland, Brighton and Bournemouth, but better than Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter and PSG

Throughout their win vs Botswana at AFCON, a DR Congo supporter replicated the stance of Patrice Lumumba, a key figure in African and Congolese independence who was assassinated in 1961 following a joint plot between political opponents, Belgium, the US, and UK 🇨🇩

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

Wolves would be top of a Premier League table for 2026.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

thought these were trigger warnings 😭😭😭

Trump's White House renovation gets at least thousand times more media coverage than his presidential directive targeting "anti-Christianity" as terrorism 👍

What the fucking fuck?

Rolling Stone excerpt about Montana’s ballot initiative to combat Citizens United

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

The liberals

I've said it before and I'll undoubtedly say it again, but it remains a tragedies of modern history that the Sulzbergers weren't hung at Nuremburg for the close to a decade they spent gleefully using their media empire to promote Hitler and the Nazis to Americans in the run up to WWII.

"It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts my whole body," said Guardiola in clips of his speech shared on social media. "Let me be clear, it's not about ideology. It's not about whether I'm right, or you're wrong. It's just about the love of life, about the care of your neighbour. "Maybe we think that we see the boys and girls of four years old being killed by the bomb or being killed at the hospital because it's not a hospital anymore. It's not our business. "We can think about that. It's not our business. But be careful. The next one will be ours. The next four- or five-year-old kids will be ours. Sorry, but I see my kids, Maria, Marius and Valentina. When I see every morning since the nightmare started the infants in Gaza, and I'm so scared."

Pep Guardiola:

“It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts my whole body… Maybe we think that we see the boys and girls of 4 yo being killed by the bomb, it's not our business… Sorry, but I see my kids. When I see every morning since the nightmare started the infants in Gaza, and I'm so scared."

You just have to fucking laugh

Merino is a really good off-ball presence, which has a lot of overlap with his brains and his work-rate. Like Havertz, he offers those selfless dragging runs, and is happy to sprint when there’s a switch to pull defenders away from his left-winger. His false-9ing is weirdly good; here’s him serving as a backboard for a Spanish attack. He’s also adept and active at feeling for pockets of space in the box, especially in bouncing ball situations.

He is also, in his own way, Havertz cover. Especially down the line, it got hard to picture lineups without Havertz in them — especially when you’d like to go long or take advantage of set plays. Merino covers that, too. In many ways he’s the more practical version of what Arteta sought with Havertz last year.

Just scrolled through the Merino scouting report from before he signed 🥲

So anyways, I started blasting

Rice's post-match interview:

Ten national unions and dozens of locals representing more than 3 million members have issued a joint statement demanding the release of immigrant workers recently snatched by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The statement names farmworker union leader Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez, who was picked up in what appears to be blatant retaliation for his organizing; SEIU Local 925 member Lewelyn Dixon, a University of Washington lab technician detained on her way home from visiting family; SEIU Local 509 member Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student whose detention by federal agents was captured in chilling footage; sheet metal worker Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a SMART Local 100 apprentice who was sent to El Salvador’s notorious prison complex; and United Auto Workers Local 2710 member Mahmoud Khalil, abducted by federal agents in front of his eight-months-pregnant wife. The unions are also calling on employers, university administrators, and local governments to refuse to cooperate—and demanding that elected officials “find their spines.”

10 national unions repping 3 million members demand the release of abducted immigrant workers and call for employers and university admins to refuse to cooperate and elected officials to “find their spines.”

This is the way.
