one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

Not usually a window seat man (or a Spirit man) but took these photos as we were landing

The Bundesliga’s 2025 review. Best team, player and choreo, biggest surprise, disappointment and goal celebration gone wrong. All sorts, for @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

Last @sport.theguardian.com Bundesliga column of 2025 on Leverkusen’s win at Leipzig, capping a hugely impressive start to Kasper Hjulmand’s time in charge after inheriting a mess from Erik Ten Hag www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Leverkusen may not be second in the Bundesliga table at the end of 2025. But they are definitely the second best team in Germany right now.

Some of that rain was biblical. Players slipping and tripping all over. Otherwise, Senegal look quite dominant.

They tried to tell me Liam Delap is a better option than Nico Jackson...

"Under this model, formerly colonized nations must ask permission to temporarily access their own heritage, accept conditions dictated by a British institution, and bear the financial and logistical burdens of care, while the museum retains ultimate control." British Museum fully delulu good lord

Trade a few of those Bundesliga titles for more sustained UCL success. Would benefit both the league and the club.

Sadly due to Xmas schedules and madness no final review show of the year 😭 but we shall hope to do some posts and even a mid season review during the winter break ⛄️

Of course I’m easily swayed by a beautiful jersey, so my #AfconHottie was always going to be someone from Mali: step up Coulibaly, you’re my second hottie of AFCON @theplantainshow.bsky.social

Angola-South Africa: Kuduro vs mbaqanga!

Angola lose for the first time ever in the opening game of an AFCON and South Africa get their first opening game win in 21 years.

Foster scored a rocket and therefore is my #AfconHottie of the match even though I was deciding between three different Angola players up until then @theplantainshow.bsky.social

Salah delivers!!

Going Live on Instagram in 20mins to talk about all that happened today at the AFCON. Tap in with us! www.instagram.com/shirtlesspla...

Congo take the lead but wtf we’re Benin doing??

Jackson is having a laugh

I enjoyed that Nigeria game & am proud of them for not fucking it up. And Iwobi was my #AfconHottie of the match. @theplantainshow.bsky.social

Iwobi was HOOPING

Obviously Nicolas Jackson is my #AfconHottie of the match @theplantainshow.bsky.social

Sadly I was hoping for an upset & a Zimbabwe win but at least their Dube wins my #AfconHottie award @theplantainshow.bsky.social

Yeah, we’re cooked. Gotta beat Tanzania, and hope Nigeria do us some favours along the way.

Tunisia scoring first was the worst thing to happen for us. It’s gonna be running our bodies into a brick wall for the rest of this match.

Coach and Tosin will be going live on Instagram again today to talk all the happenings from today’s Action at the AFCON. Follow below and come chat with us!!! www.instagram.com/shirtlesspla...

She survived a storm. The house didn’t. For 40 years, Malissa Whitehead called this place home. She fears it could collapse on her at any moment. For decades, she reached out for help. Now, she’s turning to her community to hold onto her American dream. capitalbnews.org/mississippi-...

Daniel's "stay mad" 🔥 energy towards the end of the pod is my exact energy towards CAF constantly bending to FIFA. That added bonus of European clubs being salty was always tasty every 2 years #TotalEnergiesAFCON25
