I wish Palace well tonight, but one thing: whatever TNT/HBO thinks, they're not wearing "Palace For Life" jerseys because they're a lovely club supporting a good cause, but because their actual sponsor, NET88, is an illegal Asian sports betting company and cannot be advertised in a UEFA competition.

A lot of attention is paid to craft traditions in Western Europe and North America, such as handsewn Hermes leather goods and bespoke Savile Row suits. But the uneven focus leads some to believe that things made outside of these places are low quality. This is not true. 🧵

Because this town voted against Flock, a pro-Flock councilmember crashed out and proposed “a total ban on all cellular and GPS-capable devices for all operations within city limits. If we are to be truly ‘private,’ we must leave our smartphones at the city line.”

Extremely serious question: By "patents," do we think he means that more people should have access to the inventions protected by patents? That more people should have access to patenting (i.e., more people should be able to get patents)? Both? Neither?

"We have asked for and expect an independent investigation and those responsible to be held to account." How is that "investigation" going into the Canadian citizen Israel murdered in Lebanon? Or better yet, how's the investigation into where our country's fucking backbone is?

Bud Light Lemon Tea (2019-2019): Not a hard iced tea, but rather Budweiser's classic light lager, brewed with real lemon peels, and "aged on tea leaves." Released as a seasonal summertime offering, it never returned.

Hot dog car driver strongly spoke out against crashed hot dog car in a speech last night.

There are actual on the record conversations in public forums as far back as 2012 where leaders of the movement talk about how the public health stuff is just a hook to get people into the AI stuff. So it wasn't even just them being driven nuts, it was on purpose.

This is Edward. He was given 6 months to live after being found as a stray. His family was determined to give him the best few months possible, so they introduced him to the ice cream truck. That was 27 months ago. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: magnificent_foster_dogs)

This is laughable, coming from someone who has been winking at the MAGA-aligned separatist movement for years. People who are losing sleep over climate change are not the ones tearing our country apart: we’re trying to save it. This summer Canada could well be burning faster than we can build it.

“But the surveillance” is a completely invalid, stupid objection to buying Chinese cars, when this is what domestic cars are like. Corporate greed killed off one of the key competitive advantages we had around privacy. All that’s left now is an arbitrary tariff structure 🤷

We've had enough. The press is one of the last guardrails against Gianni Infantino's autocracy. But Fifa does all it can to crush the media and prevent us from doing our work. An editorial from @josimarfootball.bsky.social. And please support us if you can.
