Interesting chat with
@migueldelaney.bsky.social
and
@david-ornstein.bsky.social
on SSN re: managers fronting up for anything and everything, rather than e.g. DoFs doing pressers on transfers. It would be welcome if this happened. Extend it to owners and stop them hiding behind their employees.

The world capitulates. 150 countries agree plan to stop global companies shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, but US companies will be exempt from 15% global minimum tax. They make profit we fund the cost. The race to the bottom will accelerate.

At a time when the US is proving to be actively working against our national interests, and our dependence on the US for aircraft and missile supply and support is raising massive concern, this is a truly perverse decision.

Not only is this a bad reason, it's likely not even the real reason - which is probably that they fear antagonising Musk and Trump, as well as giving Reform another stick to beat them with. And so, out of fear, they continue to post in a cesspool of racism, disinformation and child pornography.

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes." This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize. Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

I guess it's no surprise as to what Trump and his crazed gang are up to, though it does feel like US foreign policy with the mask off rather than anything fundamentally new. Also no surprise that a supine and weak UK (and to extent EU) are being weak and supine. Realpolitik, eh?

From Manchester United to Crawley and Morecambe, it seems to be an almost universal phenomenon that rich men believe running a football club successfully will be easier than it in fact proves. What is it that someone owners learn and why do some seem never to learn?

Hi there! You really should start using this more and abandon X. Not sure if you've seen but there's quite a lot of concern about the way it generates sexual images of children, never mind the rest of the issues associated with the platform. It's very bad brand association.

Amorim probably should have kept that in house (maybe he has and is at end of tether) but he speaks to the wider truth that the demands on managers have increased while their means to meet them have declined. They are head coaches - not managers.

Won a trophy and qualified for the CL seven months ago. Blame the manager patsy all you like but thatās some achievement by the owners to destroy the feels to such a degree so quickly.

Good goal but ball-watching defending after multiple warnings. The approach has invited it. But these players need to step up on the pitch; stop hiding behind it.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

So, to clarify, spray-painting a plane is terrorism, holding a sign to support the organisation those that spray-painted the plane were members of is terrorism, but taking a foreign head of state hostage needs to wait for a press conference from the hostage taker for nuance?
