basically, every local tv station in the country is owned by two companies.

Premier League open play expected goals are down 35% from what has been created in the three previous seasons

easy way to nip this in the bud is for someone to invite farrakhan or dr. umar

I’m relearning how to play the harp! This is the first piece I’ve learnt to completion in around 5 years. Angel’s Hymn by Rhett Barnwell 🪉

Arsenal fans complained Arsene was too attacking, exposing Per and Kos too much. Arsenal fans complain now that Arteta is too defensive and doesn’t expose Big Gabby and Willy Saliba enough … even after that break away Thor Haaland goal

WSJ: Trump wants Tony Blair (???) to lead Gaza after the current war.

Saudi princes mad about the last two FIFA games

Okay lol this is funny. The deal is reportedly $14bn, which is way below consensus on what it's worth (maybe, say $40bn). The reason is that they're not selling the whole economic interest. *BYTEDANCE TO GET ABOUT 50% OF TIKTOK US PROFIT UNDER TRUMP DEAL

Hahahaha incredible *BYTEDANCE TO MAINTAIN OWNERSHIP OF TIKTOK US BUSINESS OPS: RTRS

Subtract from cleansheets since 2022-23 Arsenal: 10, 13, 8, 2 - 33 City: 11, 10, 7, 1 - 29 Liverpool: 6, 7, 13, 2 - 28

Christian missions in colonial Congo weakened kin and ethnic ties, eroded communal values, and durably redirected loyalties toward religious affiliation, from @abergeron.bsky.social https://www.nber.org/papers/w34262

Our news networks should air an hour or two of European news every day to show Americans how flabbergasted the news presenters are here when they cover the U.S.

New year, new coefficients simulation! ⚠️This year is the first time I've seen where the Big 4 might actually be challenged, as 🇫🇷 France _could_ overtake 🇩🇪 Germany. Being Top 4 gives you 4 direct UCL spots, which are now at risk for Germany, after some poor seasons in Europe.

NEW Quinnipiac poll of registered U.S. voters: • Half now say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza • Only 47% see backing Israel as a U.S. interest, down from 69% in 2023 • 60% oppose more military aid to Israel • 58% favor UN recognition of a Palestinian state www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data… —Top Public Worry: Corruption —Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption —Top fear: Corruption —What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt” It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

things might be somewhat different right now if there had never been a DHS

Please I need this to be the new owner of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club

how much of this is just a narrowing of the definition of friendship?

fire the camera man, kinda looks easy

"for a disease I did not cause and do not have any control over, seeing a very high increase in the prices that I'm paying." conservatives only recognize there are broader factors beyond their control when it's personal, personal responsibility for everyone else.

oh sweet Cory, he's so close

David Roediger's SINKING MIDDLE CLASS is a great book on the delusions of class mobility and "middle class ideology" and helps explain this moron

AI has access to your money now and can spend it for you.

a moose named maple is as Canadian as it gets

I actually think it's off base for the descriptor of these angry young white men who think violence is cool and/or funny to be "non-political." They are making rape jokes and saying racist things and wanting to sow chaos. That's literally the Alex Jones, Steve Bannon playbook.

Barcelona are selling €300 commemorative Aitana ballon d'or jerseys. that's the next palanca.

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

It’s the fourth straight year Disney has hiked streaming prices. And there’s been a steady drumbeat of increases from other streamers too as platforms move away from chasing subscriber growth to chasing profits.

That sounds familiar. I wonder where I've heard that before.

Just the nine goals conceded and three leads lost in four games for Nottingham Forest under Ange Postecoglou.

Israel’s sudden decision to indefinitely close the sole land crossing giving over 3 million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank access to international travel, has intensified fears of more restrictions amid Israel’s threats of retaliation against Western recognition of a Palestinian state.

the Port Vale right back was at Hale End with Eze

Saliba with 85 minutes of dodgy passing before pinging it 50 yards for an assist

let's not concede to Andy Cole's son

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Like say what you will about the first two sentences but the last two are insane, because even if we aren't very interested in foreign affairs are very interested in us and much more important global leadership comes to those who actually put up the cash to underwrite the international system

that Port Vale run might have been onside but it was so bad it deserved the flag

Darren Moore is Port Vale manager

Haha, Mikel
