Every week a man walks free after raping a wee girl because *something something* HE is young, jail might not be good for HIM, first offence, HE is ill blah blah blah. Rape is decriminalised. The justice system serves rapists.

My experience is only from talking to woso players, idk if dudes feel the same, but overwhelmingly players enjoy third-place games, and for multiple reasons, it's not a loser's match, it's a chance to say your country is the third best in the whole dang world.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

When the Westminster Dog Show tries to diversify

Today’s meal. It’s a bit insipid so I added a big splash of Kadoya La-Yu spicy sesame oil, which is my favourite lazy way of bucking up a dish

It’s hard to overstate how frightening far right protests and online lies are for real people on the ground. I was in the Gorbals the other day and met people who were really shaken. www.thetimes.com/article/8ca6...

this is a renaissance painting

Dang they really got a category for everything

This is not on the BBC homepage. Also it’s noticeable that when a white person does a crime, the lead picture is the victim and not a mugshot of the accused.

This randomly popped into my head and it's sent me into a mid-00s music spiral www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnAB...

I feel lied to about what happens where there's smoke

I see Tuchel has been talking to the press again

Misa? En 2026?

Approximately zero percent of generals and admirals support Pete Hegseth's plan to screen military personnel for low testosterone. But in this incel gamer Discord server, that number seems much higher.

Trump years have been instructive because it's been clear that nobody in the GOP actually hates the inevitably bad things about communism. Secret police, personality cults, gulags, kleptocracy, party loyalty tests, martial law, even central planning. Just the concept of people with less having more.

ICYMI: The UK software firm that's central to the government's plans for preventing children being exposed to nudity on mobile phones is a financial binfire.

technically, I don't think I can say Basil Phone Bill, so, Solly Pants

Wait, there's a vaccine that protects you from b-tier men?

Know it's trite, but I went to the Tate modern earlier this year - my mum wanted to see the Nigerian Modernism exhibt - and I could have just stayed in the Rothko room for the duration, there's just something so lovely about it

Muslim Man in Utah Stabbed. The Suspect Said He 'Intends to Kill Muslims' The horrific attack has barely been covered by the media, and most U.S. politicians remain silent. Read: zeteo.com/p/muslim-man...

Important🧵from Cal at the coal face. “the school staff cried” doesn’t move me any more, it angers me, as they proceed to act on govt policy and cause harm. Streeting told me, meeting the trans youth whose medication he’d removed was “really upsetting for me, really hard”. We need more than tears.

Look if you watched the prequels but are still surprised that the idea of making a movie while sitting at your computer without any collaborators, artists, writers, crew, or techs while being told you're a genius over and over is extremely appealing to Lucas I don't know what to tell you

This is not just stupid, it is dangerous. In fact, it constitutes a danger for any pro-democracy person in the U.S.

A reminder that this is the guy we're all now supposed to be listening to on the subject of the safety of MPs

"... and replaced it with genitally-obsessed bigotry, xenophobia, racism and ableism."

With airstrikes, we’ll degrade Iran’s military to the point they can’t threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz! OK, didn’t work. Let’s cede Hormuz, then pretend we didn’t? Never mind, new plan: Use airstrikes to degrade Iran’s military to the point they can’t threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

Lavelle doesn't even need to be able to breathe to score bangers, terrifying

I bet that goal was so awesome to witness in person and not in the middle of a two screen featuring play by play and an interview with an owner that was basically talking right over the action as Lavelle scored.

everything transphobes say to try to appear reasonable to normie libs is always a lie and normie libs will keep falling for it until the end of time

Incredible scenes in Knoxville, where we've got a red card foul for Fort Wayne literally three seconds into the match

NWSL about to discover the real meaning of Unwell FC

You're laughing. Keir Starmer's free flight to the world cup final has been cancelled and you're laughing.

maybe they should just

Hard luck England. At least you've got this guy.

Again, not a coach, never been any type of automobile, but I have watched far too much football in my life and, my personal preference is trying with a pressure reliever just to try and give that backline a moment of respite in the mental fatigue. It's not always going to work, but 🤷
