The VAR offside protocol is still worse than no VAR.

Roefs is play acting, the absolute cheat.

Stamp on Wirtz’s foot because of a very late challenge, but no foul because he’s on his feet.

James Milner is twice the player Gareth Barry was

An Irish red has been in an ICE detention facility for months despite having lived in the U.S. for many years and despite being married to a U.S. citizen. He describes awful conditions and says the facility’s security have killed people. No one knows how many people have been killed by ICE.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

If you have any interest in figure skating, make sure you watch Kaori Sakamoto’s Milan-Cortina career send-off opener from Friday. A familiar Italian classic musical accompaniment, a heart wrencher to go with one of the smoothest and best skating performances you’ll ever see.

It drives me bonkers. Then we get a Konate goal like last week or the second leg against Barcelona from the champions’s league. We go from the depths of despair to life affirming moments.

City last did the league double over Liverpool in 1936/37. Still, at least fascism isn't on the rise this time, eh?

I’m not worried about the red. Szoboszlai needs to be rested more often anyway.

People actually blaming the manager today. 🤡

Poor Dom 💔😭😭😭

What a farce of a refereeing performance. I have nothing to say about the football because it was irrelevant. Give the PGMOL the three points.

How many barrels of oil for that decision, eh? You can’t tell me an honest ref gives that.

Not sure the referee could be more obviously biased against us tbh

Wow. The refereeing.

A win today could really change the mood 🍻

Great read.

posts like these tend to briefly experience turbulence upon entering the stratosphere (people who reply to correct me) before escaping into the frictionless void (people who reply immediately after reading 30% of the post)

Gun control could have been sensible. Many just wanted school children to stop being massacred. But 2A enthusiasts instead chose the party threatening jail to anyone who legally carries when they say you can’t.

Trump has said the thing a guilty guy would say at almost every stage. I don’t understand how people are so gullible.

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Couldn’t be happier for Ibou 🙂

Journalist: “Arne, what do you think about my article that you will get sacked in the morning?” Also journalist: “Wow, Arne, why so negative? What’s wrong?”

5 of the 6 PL teams are in top 8 of the CL. But to hear Mr. Carragher say it, Liverpool are struggling in a piss poor league. 🙄

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

God, tired of working in mysterious ways:

I know it's a small part of this, but the administration is never going to get to the "bottom" of "billions and billions" in fraud because it didn't happen. Please deliver "billions" in fraud charges. We're waiting. They promised $8b in fraud charges. Anything less is failure.

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

Tonight is difficult af. Trying to manage the emotions of a bad #LFC loss, in the knowledge that it's most meaningless the thing to worry about when our government is inflicting violence on our fellow citizens, and telling us lies about things we can all see with our own eyes.

as a parent I cannot imagine how absolutely fucking heartbreaking and awful it must be to have to put out a statement like this because the federal government killed your son and is telling monstrous lies about him

Do people realize there are always a few Dems who vote to pass GOP atrocities, like the recent extra $10B in ICE funding? Will the Senate pass it as well, after today’s murder?

Incredible. The people of Minnesota are inspiring a nation.

TFW your airport is completely full of clergy coming to defend your people

Thread of cold weather advice. I miss the UK where it never gets this cold.

CNN wrote a glowing piece about how he and Vance are toning down their rhetoric on ICE infallibility at the very moment ICE tactics are becoming even *more* violent and illegal—proof that nothing has changed inside corporate media. Federal appeals courts are accepting every Trump request for a stay.

Zack has articulated something I've not been able to. I'm doing okay but it's harder and harder each year. There's millions worse off who are really struggling. And there's the over-wealthy who couldn't care less. I want a government that helps the poorest first.

broke: arsenal 2026 vs man utd 2008 woke: maldini vs napoleon

Some version of this sentiment has been true every time Trump has made a speech.

Shut ICE down, remove the leadership, break DHS apart, and investigate their crimes.

I love looking at the City result and remembering that the red card came after all the goals.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Just a regular reminder that the ENTIRE premise behind the draconian and militaristic immigration enforcement we have been witnessing the past year is based on an empirically disproven lie. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Let me get this straight: Trump is going to tax US citizens until Denmark gives us Greenland. ....my goodness he's stupid.

Minnesota ICE agents tell a child that they will put a bullet in her head if she doesn't shut up. #cdnpoli

I don’t understand why the NFL is growing in popularity among UK viewers. Is it because the refereeing is nonsense? The familiarity of that must feel like home for anyone who regularly attends matches officiated by the PGMOL.

I would like a comic where the Punisher goes after ICE. It would be perfectly in character for Frank, and all the worst people would be pissed off.

If you compare Slot to Hodgson, I’m blocking or muting. It’s a bad faith comparison made by childish supporters looking for excuses to be excessively negative.
