Look, I think Steyer should be taxed until he's not a billionaire anymore, and there's no way to know if this is truly genuine (though it seems to be so here). But "I'm the one who treats people with basic compassion & decency" is still a net positive even if it's political opportunism.

Thunder basketball: catch the fever

I feel like this will be coming in handy #AVFC #UTV imgflip.com/gif/asqpeuV

Don't love the shirt, but I might buy it on Thursday anyway, if they really let us have it without the sponsor! #AVFC

Am I crazy or does Richard Jefferson really sound like Tom Brady

I like Harry Wilson and I think he'd be a good addition to the squad, but if it turns into a bidding war I would be disinclined to participate. He's 29 and we need to get younger. #AVFC

Haha. People have been saying "Villa can't keep doing this" for four years now. Luckiest team in the universe, apparently

Ollie Watkins is the first player in Premier League history to score a brace against each of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea in the same campaign. #AVFC

Cross the ball, Bailey! Watkins had a tap in for a hat trick. Fuckin hell #AVFC

Big love to Dean Smith. This wouldn't have happened without him. #AVFC www.instagram.com/reel/DYpFVn9...

No idea why Tuchel is getting all the hate over his squad selection. Toney's experience playing in half-empty stadiums under an authoritarian regime could prove invaluable.

What a night! I had a hard time getting focused today and had to keep the celebration going somehow, even at work. Up the Villa. #AVFC

OK, 100% tax on all income or wealth over $999,999,999.99. How's that teacher now?

Moonwalk needs work

That powerful message: “You remember my name."

In a time of tremendous uncertainty, the James Harden Experience remains stalwart. His commitment to being the most annoying basketball player alive is, in its way, inspiring.

This Ajax-Heerenveen match is currently being played on a pond. They can't pass the ball on the ground.

If current league positions hold, here is the average final league table since Villa hired Emery (2022/23-2025/26). Tell me more about this "Big Six." #AVFC

@sheaserrano.bsky.social you are correct about Sydney Sweeney

That shot of Emery after McGinn's goal is, I think, the purest happiness I've ever seen out of him during a match. He always celebrates, but it looks more like tension releasing. Today he looked the way we all did - excited, a bit awed, enjoying a transcendent moment from a beloved player. #AVFC

I wish I were more eloquent so I could find the words to praise John McGinn sufficiently. Where would we be without him? If Villa win on Wednesday, there's no one alive who deserves to hoist that trophy as much as McGinn does.

Well that was fun. Glory awaits on Wednesday. Forever and always, up the Villa. #AVFC

Ah, a basketball game. Just the way Emery loves it... #AVFC

"Let's just assume for the sake of discussion that nothing changes in the next 200 years." No thanks man, this is not a discussion worth having.

Lol

Trump: "I don't know why Howard is bragging, I had 50,000 meetings with Jeffrey and never faced any consequences"

I think it's a tragedy for the entire league that Wesley Willis isn't around to sing at the first home game.

Thank you! Also, I really been calling for this for years.

I've just realized the Europa final kicks off in the middle of my daughter's graduation. What asshole decided to hold a Euro final on a Wednesday night, anyway? Damn it all. #AVFC #UTV

Aston Villa: Hey, what if we just play the whole game like we did that 30 minute stretch against PSG?

What a performance. Hard to even pick a man of the match. Lindelof proved Emery right. Watkins, Buendia, McGinn all 10/10. Just beaming ear to ear! Up the Villa

Other than Lindelof I think the team just about picks itself. Big call going with Lindelof over Bogarde or Luiz but I think I like it. He's a bit slower, but a he's cooler head than both and a better passer than Bogarde. Luiz could be good off the bench if we're pushing for a goal #AVFC

I think this is the most distracted I’ve ever been waiting for a Villa match. I'm working in five minute bursts and then staring into space for a while thinking about it. Kickoff can't get here soon enough. Or maybe it's coming up way too soon? Fucking hell #AVFC

I don't care what his birth certificate says, Josh Hart is spiritually 58 years old

I wish my team played more like PSG (i.e. with all of the best players in the world)

Not sure how many people actually pay attention to the City's official BlueSky account - it has about 100 followers more than me, a dead country artist mostly posting about soccer - but for all intents and purposes it is Andre's PR outlet. Pretty gross.

For All Mankind is so funny, man. They have asteroid mining and a guy doing motorcycle jumps on Mars, but Ed Baldwin's old man makeup is still less convincing than Old Biff in Back to the Future 2

Jesus. Even if he's utterly lost his humanity, surely he's not so dumb as to think "If the racist mobs get their way they will definitely stop before they get to me, Zia Yusuf. I'm one of the good ones. My parents immigrated forty years ago."

Had to take my kid to a thing and missed the whole game. Sounds like it was for the best! The squad needs to rally, right now, or the last few weeks of the season will be very dark days. #AVFC

Stop showing Tindall celebrating, I'm trying to be happy about this #AVFC

Not even a foul, apparently! #AVFC

Just not enough from Bogarde. He's so limited on the ball. #AVFC

Fuck. I hate VAR but what is Digne doing

4 seconds on the Anderson tackle, 4 minutes on this

Do referees review film at half time? Maybe he'll see that Anderson tackle back and pull his head out of his ass for the second half. #AVFC

Curious decisions from the referee thus far... #AVFC

That’s a tough challenge on Watkins from Anderson, looked like he came right over the top of the ball studs up. Might merit a review. #AVFC

Moby Dick, by Herman Melville A soft core porn about a popular electronica artist may not seem like bestseller material, but it's arguably the greatest American novel and certainly one of the most enduring works in the English language.

Seriously though, who the fuck is out here voting for Keisha Lance Bottoms? Does she even exist in corporeal form? #ATL
