@thegameisaboutglory.co.uk Congrats on The Great Escape!

possibly better than the original

AI taking over everything is not inevitable. Nothing is inevitable. Good for these kids for letting these fuckers know it.

Once upon a time, a railroad connected passengers from as far north as Haifa and Akka al the way to Al Qantara in Egypt. The railway went through Nablus and Jerusalem, Jaffa and Rafah--but was one of many casualties during the Nakba:

If I were an international soccer player I wouldn't be going anywhere near the USA Hell, as an Australian I wouldn't go anywhere near the USA either

Between the mauls at corners, inconsistency in decision making and VAR - whichever way a decision goes - the EPL is becoming unwatchable.

It’s crazy how co-comms and studio make the tactical observations of the inverted full backs and the interchanging midfield and high press but don’t mention that that’s Ange ball reignited by DeZerbi.

I was thinking about how much this resembled a style of play under a recent former manager who some people get tired of hearing his name. Rhymes with "flange".

One could joke about the dumbing down of the US regime, however the problem is that they are going to take everyone else out with them.

English comms still can’t seem to get over the fact that the two best teams in the world are playing actual football against each other.

Kinsky!

Tel has been very good. Very mature in trying to keep this lead.

Israel is reportedly preparing a major attack on the Gaza Strip amid a truce in the US-Israel war on Iran and in Lebanon:

Third strike in Israeli triple-tap strike kills yet another journalist. “a later air strike … wounded a journalist, who was trapped under rubble. Amal Khalil, who worked for the local media outlet Al Akhbar, was later found dead”

People have been trashing the players all season to cope with the fact that they bought into the idea of magical pragmatism and it didn’t pan out.

Bergvall steal Xavi goal.

Some volley from Mitoma.

Gawd I hope they don’t regret that miss

Pedro!

Umpteeth reason to boycott the Men’s World Cup this summer. If FIFA is going to continue finding ways to betray the world’s game, we don’t have to go along with it.

Australia isn't transitioning away from fossil fuels. The Albanese Government is just hiding rising emissions under a mountain of 'offsets'. Read more about our research: https://theaus.in/4sEx2pP

F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.

Richie has really been busting a gut since k/o.

Spurs still don’t look very comfortable trying to progress the ball upfield.

Good piece on the new Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi, and why his defence of Mason Greenwood — and later meek apology for it — was harmful to the safety of women www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The photo says it all really. Anyway, congratulations to Sir Keir Starmer on authorising this campaign to prevent dastardly terrorists -- cunningly disguised as old people holding up signs -- from undermining public safety.

Firing your generals is famously an action taken when you’re winning, your enemy is “totally defeated” and you’re going to wrap up your incredible victory in 2-3 weeks

We could've phased out fossil fuels the gradual, smart and painless way starting in the 1990s The fossil fuel industry decided we have to do it the painful, unfair and cruel way instead. because that gave them an extra few decades of super-profits

The Trump administration is simultaneously trying to 1: Exempt offshore oil from protecting the whales. 2: Stop offshore wind in order to protect the whales.

3) Spurs are facing the prospect of relegation because of the decision to sack Ange. That's the main reason we're this bad (and not, like, moderately bad due to squad issues, etc.). We're only this bad because the club dragged the players + Ange through a horrific experience last season...

A couple of pk worthy fouls in there.

This is a real image of a graveyard being prepared for the victims of a mass murder of schoolchildren enacted by the racist governments of Israel and America. Ask a text generation program, and it'll output sentences that say the photo is fake www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

That people don't want low effort slop is apparently too complicated for the slop vendors to comprehend. Guess they'll have to just keep stuffing this unwanted garbage into everything

Albo and Penny sat down in front a white board and challenged each other to come up with a line stupider than "non-lethal components".

Gotta love a Chinese shoegaze cover of The Cranberries

Mansfield Town’s counters are *chef’s kiss*

Barnaby claims that having billionaires back you is some sort of stamp of approval of your quality. What it really means, BeetRooter, is that you’re a whore.

Iran's women's team don't sing the anthem and it's news, Iran's women's team do sing the anthem and it's news. In a world that didn't give a shit about them beforehand I feel really sorry for them being used as pawns like this. They're just there to play football, leave them alone. #asiancup

I think we’re already there, with or without relegation. It was plain as day from the start.

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?” www.anthropic.com/news/where-s...

Down 2 goals in a relegation scrap in the 86th minute tonight I watched a Spurs player pass up a chance at a quick throw-in to the winger to wait for Danso to trot over to take a long throw.
