I really wish Arsène Wenger didn't work for FIFA.

Two questions for this England v Argentina matchup. 1. Will Anderson and Rice cut off service to Messi and Alvarez? 2. Will Tagliafico and Molina keep up with Rogers and Gordon?

The pride we’ve experienced over the last month doesn’t have to be seasonal. It doesn’t need a stadium ticket or a festival permit, writes Saadia Khan. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

People die in detention whether it’s for profit or not. We don’t need public death camps either.

permanent daylight savings doesn't go far enough

There really is a perverse sort of humor in watching ppl whose main activities are working an email job, getting things delivered to them, & looking at their phones too much bc like "god, people during X Time Period probably had it way easier than we do rn"

This is a trick question. 1. The Board of Immigration Appeals is part of the executive branch. Like every part, it must follow Supreme Court precedent. 2. The Board doesn’t make independent constitutional determinations. It makes no such “findings” of any significance.

If you change the clocks one hour, then I’m going to move the clock 3 separate hours. By the time you show up to work, I will already have been there for a day and an extra hour. You move back one hour, I get two extra hours. Stack that up over the winter and boom, you’re toast.

Raya still clears don't @ me

Gotta get that FIFA number down

NATO ranking high is great; above the WHO is troubling

Anyone remember when Argentina was giving France the work in the first 60 minutes of the 2022 World Cup final and LeBron tweeted something like it was an exciting game and it was clear as day that it was a scheduled tweet and he wasn't watching?

1. Comprehensively yes. 2. Absolutely not on the few occasions that a goal chance presented itself.

Comrade Mbappe and the glorious revolution being sabotaged by the FIFA bourgeoisie and Spanish passing machine

If Keyne Lamal isn't in a VVIP box for the World Cup final then what did Spain even make it all this way for

Someone in one of my group chats remarked that this will be the earliest Mbappe has ever been eliminated in his career in the World Cup.

Sometimes, it's just not your day.

Widespread boos for Gianni at the Philly Fan Fest.

Oh no, France has the Trump curse on them now www.politico.com/live-updates...

Yamal looked like he was onside.

Wasn't a great sign in the immediate for France, either.

This is the kind of insight that could turn you into a more humble public servant or a nihilist, and I think we know which option Graham chose.

My fellow Arsenal fans... it is Not Good to see Saliba go off the way he did. We may be looking at an extended absence.

Mikel Merino puts that in.

That was *nice* ball movement from Spain.

The first time this /entire/ World Cup that France is trailing in a game

Harsh, but I think this will stand.

The fifa row of white men….

I really wish Arsène Wenger didn't work for FIFA.

Winner gets Andorra.

It's all quite imperial.

Need to think about this more, but there's a sequencing to the admin's mass detention scheme that fits with prior US pattern and practice.

I wrote about what looks very much like a formal US plan to institutionalize a global network of concentration camps.

I've reshared it before, but it remains evergreen IMO for the mentality of successfully resisting authoritarianism Vigilance, but with a certain "yeah? you and what army?" skepticism

Moreover, for the umpteenth time, unless you're dealing with a mass killing in which a driver is actively trying to mow people down -- which was not the case here -- shooting into a moving vehicle *increases* the threat to public safety. Because killing the driver doesn't stop the vehicle.

A pro-democracy platform must demand records from all detention centers located in other countries. If US tax payers footed the bill, we should know how many people were detained, where, and when. The geography shouldn't matter. www.theredoubt.net/ice-detentio...

By popular demand (one person who DM’d me), an obituary for Lindsey Graham, focused on a lesser-known episode from the Lindsey Lore that has long defined him for me.

Ok, calling it now. The English word of the year for 2026 is going to be *nostalgia*.
