LFC are a massive part of my life & losing hurts but let’s be grown ups, sensible, patient & think twice before jumping up & down demanding Slot gets the sack. I love Jurgen but he wasn’t the manager last season, Slot was & it was fucking great wasn’t it? Come On You Mighty Reds! #YNWA #LFC

I still don’t get this. Can anyone explain why he might have done that, since he appealed so righteously as if it wasn’t his fault? It really set the tone for a poor performance. You can’t be giving away stuff like that in the first 5 mins #LFC

I don’t get it - why did VVD do that?! That’s just self-destructive. This season reminds me so much of 2022-23 #LFC

The looks like a remake of Kind Hearts and Coronets! 😝📺 youtu.be/BxBof_p3_es?...

Not unusual at all - I make sure to stress test all my pants this way 😝

BBC censors a lecture removing author’s remarks on Trump that refer to him a the most openly corrupt American president.

Sometimes the choice of reading is serendipitous - happened to be reading Le Guin’s Tehanu for the first time while reading a biography of de Beauvoir and really had to come to grips with the latter’s famous saying that “One is not born, but rather becomes a woman” 💙📚

Had a liberal or leftist attempted anything 1% as headlong heedless of consequences as DOGE, it would have provided fodder for pious, ‘Chesterton’s Fence’ sermons about unintended consequences until the year 2400. It would have been the biggest argument for Burke since the Jacobins declared Year 1.

to support the squad we have. Don't be the whiny, plastic fans that some claim we can be. We always support our own, and that's why it means more. Get with the program and stop acting like a spoiled child who's spilled their milk, respectfully. #YNWA

Free hit this year for #LFC The Arne Slot out merchants can jog on, in my humble opinion. I wish he was coming up with more solutions, but a real human being died unexpectedly. It's completely understandable that the lads aren't up for it entirely. We don't decide the manager, and it's our job

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

What awesome lines in the screenshots, tbh 🤣

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

This is perhaps the one game this season that Forest have had the kind of incredible finishing they enjoyed last season - few chances in a game but they practically score from every one they get #LFC

Tbh I think we should expect play to get more disjointed the more non-like-for-like substitutions were made. The first two were probably still ok but once you had nearly every attacker thrown on the pitch then you have to expect huge gaps all over the pitch #LFC

That goal again shows the weakness of our LBs, but Robbo in particular, who nowadays cannot be expected to get tight to his man. Quite sad to see 😭 #LFC

And you KNOW they are taking the piss when the same incident happens right in the next game with a different refereeing result #LFC

Kinda strange that Salah is our set piece taker? He’s usually not the primary taker #LFC

Lol the footballing gods are just taking the piss with us re that offside goal #LFC

this defies parody. also helps explain why Sec Bessent bizarrely blamed immigrants when confronted with a question about high beef prices

So far, I've been pleased with Ken Burns' American Revolution series on PBS. I hoped it would tell the inclusive history of America and has done so in the first two episodes we've watched, and has touched on the hypocrisy of the quest for freedom while denying that to enslaved Black people and 1/

A good read on one of the most horrific post-WWII episodes, making the dispassionate case that the army was instrumental in igniting and sustaining a conflagration that consumed hundreds of thousands of lives and caused the imprisonment of nearly a million 💙📚

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

The theme of the latest #SloughHouse is comeuppance as some folks got what was coming to them, but more satisfying was the dynamics between Lamb and Standish, which fleshed them out more than in previous books. Surprisingly it seems these two may have more narrative terrain to explore yet 💙📚

Christian nationalists love Trump's abusive, misogynistic, and un-Christian behavior because toxic masculinity is a defining feature of the heresy of Christian nationalism.

TREVOR NOAH SUMS UP WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A LIVERPOOL FAN 😅

Trump Has the Look of the Weak Horse; People Are Acting Accordingly talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

No holds barred from @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social that punctures much of the AI hype, showing just how much it is infected by bias, repugnant ethics and self-dealing, with all-too-tangible harms being trivialised. A timely read 💙📚

i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

Trump, an image obsessed lifelong public figure who has proven he would say anything to defend himself, has never once condemned pedophilia, the abuse of young girls or even made a show of seeking justice for abused women. Rather, he defends and socializes with predators.

Btw the late Graham Greene absolutely stole the scene in the two episodes he was in. RIP 🙏

The #Lowdown was a great watch with all the hallmarks of Sterlin Harjo - wistful, moving and funny, with a madding crowd of eclectic characters varyingly damaged but never beyond redemption. Really looking forward to other stories set in the #RezDogs universe 💙📺

(1/2) Somewhat improbable premise aside, this is an immersive read, nominally in English but soaked in the lilts and cadences of half a dozen languages that’ve taken root in the welcoming Malayan soil, watered by themes of guilt, rebirth and colonial violence 💙📚

This is an absurd, woolly mess. He's gaming out how, whatever liberals do, you can make the case that that's exactly the wrong thing to do. It's like a plan-your-own-liberal-adventure novel, and every storyline ends with NYT Pitchbot inanity or insanity. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Would have been a different vibe.

The deal we got was better in every way than the one we started with. And we saved the filibuster. Which Trump wanted gone so he could kill the entire Affordable Care Act and end transgender healthcare through Medicaid.

So all but two Republicans in Congress voted to pay $500k of taxpayer dollars to each of ten Republicans senators. That's a big payout. If I had $500k (possibly tax free?) dollars paying for college would be so much easier. $500k is a lot, right?

This take is probably true but this sort of backlash will probably make it tougher for them to cave the next time, which will come about quite shortly

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Every other major news outlet in America should be throwing teams of their best reporters in to finding out WTF happened with Epstein & the NYT. And remember this.

I'm not even sure "moderate" is the right word anymore. This is the low-end, bare-minimum option.

I don’t know at this point if there is enough evident to say “the New York Times, institutionally, was a co-conspirator with Epstein” but it’s basically beyond doubt at this point that at least one employee of the paper were co-conspirators and used their position at the paper to help affect that

Watching Karoline Leavitt offer one bland, ridiculous lie after the next as if none of us compass basic logic, I am reminded of Ron Ziegler's raw lying for a scandal-soaked Nixon. Until Leavitt, Ziegler was the youngest, least experienced press secretary, and by her light, he was subtle and nuanced.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.

Not to be nitpicky but these (Wapo/ WSJ) are bad headlines. Is the important news here "The Democrats released emails"? Or is the important news, you know, "Epstein says Trump spent hours with underage girl"? Put the important news in the headline!

God effing damn if this hasn’t made my day 🤌💪👏 #YNWA #LFC

hEs thE LeAder He NeeDs To KeEp tHe CaUcUs TogEthEr white people gave republicans power of all three chambers and because of that people were either going to lose their healthcare and starve or lose their healthcare and starve longer. but yeah sure ride the democratic jewish mans ass.

Plath is vividly brought to life in this great biography by Dr Clark, who intersperses the times of her astonishingly vivacious subject with poetry and interpretation, making the case for her legacy in redefining feminist poetry and indeed poetry itself 💙📚

That what was voters chose when they decided Harris didn't earn their votes. They also decided Ameicans don't need healthcare. As soon as voters gave Republicans all 3 chambers of Congress, the only thing Democrats could do is hope voters would blame Republicans for trying to kill the ACA.
