For folks in the US, the @arsenalfc.bsky.social game will be playing on CBS Sports Network. Not sure where else you might find it.

UEFA has done a good thing, now let's get Infantino out... and WENGER IN.

This week in Palestine: - Israeli settlers demolished a Palestinian elementary school - Israeli strikes hit a Gaza hospital - Israeli forces turned a Palestinian home into a military post Read Zeteo’s weekly roundup as Israel enforces violent crackdowns across Palestine — zeteo.com/p/palestine-...

“Humanity is frying itself alive but refuses to turn the stove off, because the fumes smell quite tasty. This is how I would summarize our collective cognitive blackout. Stupidity has won” My new article

Israel has now killed over 1,000 Palestinians in Gaza since the so-called “ceasefire” took effect last October. Palestinian-Canadian lawyer @dianabuttu.bsky.social explains how Israel has continued its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Read the full story — zeteo.com/p/gaza-cease...

Spurs are also keeping dreams of a treble alive

Why does Lee Dixon hate Arsenal these days. His biased announcing is intolerable, especially for those of us rooting for the Arsenal.

Is Gyork the most maligned 20 goal scorer Arsenal has ever had?

I know we are all supposed to be shocked about "political violence" this week. I only wish there was as much concern about US/Israel assassinations of leaders and media elsewhere. I guess tolerating the murder of hundreds of Palestinian journalists hasn't made white journalists safer.

Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup final. No other English clubs have systematically ignored, bent or broken the rules like both have done. In terms of trophies won, no other English clubs have been as successful over the past decade and a half either. The moral of the story - is that there is none.

BEIRUT (AP) - Israeli strikes hit several dense commercial and residential areas in central Beirut Wednesday afternoon without warning, hours after a ceasefire was announced in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. @apnews.com

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

"Thank you for your service. Now hand over your parents."

Wenger did it again!

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

The Doomsday Clock, a symbol of how close humanity is to destroying itself, has moved to 85 seconds. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate @mariaressa.bsky.social gave the keynote—and went in on why the West is in "hell" and how AI plays a part. @mjgault.bsky.social story: www.404media.co/the-doomsday...

A Cuban detainee’s death at an El Paso federal immigration detention center was ruled a homicide Wednesday, with the medical examiner finding he was suffocated while restrained, contradicting immigration officials’ claim that he died by suicide.

Amazing assist today by Phil Foden for Kieran Tierney. Really put it on a plate for him.

Is anyone else concerned about the next Arsecast Extra number? Can @arseblog.bsky.social skip to # 667? @gunnerblog.bsky.social

Set piece FC Ole Ole!

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

“…They portray people like myself… as cartoon villains.” Eminent scientist @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social on how the MAHA movement is turning a profit attacking mainstream science. Watch the full conversation: zeteo.com/p/science-un...

If this isn’t genocidal, nothing is.

If you defend this or try and explain this away, you’re a monster and I don’t know how you sleep at night.

Exactly

Right now, we are distributing over 18,000 gallons of water in #Gaza.

We’re getting so close

It almost makes you think it might be important for cabinet level secretaries to be qualified for their post.

This latest escalation in #Gaza comes after more than two weeks with no humanitarian aid allowed to enter Gaza. Read our full statement: www.anera.org/blog/the-hor...

I’m sure all the people who shared NYT’s ‘Screams Without Words’ and Sheryl Sandberg’s ‘Screams Before Silence’ will be sharing this new UN report on Israel’s systematic sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinian men and women, right? Right?

"We call on the world to stop the injustice & stop the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people," says Oscar winner Basel Adra to applause from the audience. 'No Other Land' just won the Best Documentary Oscar. Also a fantastic speech from fellow winner Yuval Abraham on "ethnic supremacy".

@hardlight.online Thanks for showing No Other Land tonight at StudioTwoThree. This devastating film needs to be seen far and wide.

News: Caritas, the confederation of 162 Catholic national relief, development and social service organisations operating in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, calls the slashing of humanitarian aid a "betrayal of global responsibility." www.caritas.org/2025/02/cari...

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

NFL : sideline ‘End Racism’ to avoid offending racist. I knew 47 would be there, but wish I hadn’t see this. I was looking forward to Super Bowl Sunday and it ruined it for me.

Stay Humble

🚨 11 US doctors & nurses are being blocked from leaving Gaza. They hail from TX, CA, FL, CO, OH, and AZ. Others trying to *enter* Gaza are being blocked too — including a veteran who saved Sen. Duckworth’s life. Sources say Israel gave no clear reason for denials, beyond referring to “incidents.”

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person. My nephew Matthew shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. A precis on how to live a life of service.

#arsecastextra I've been in Spain for this nice little run for Arsenal. Thanks for the Jamon Ruffles tip. Should I start a gofundme to stay longer to help keep the run going?

Back in Barcelona for the first time in more than 30 years. It's good to be here with a little money to go inside museums and eat good food, but there was something magical as well doing it in a shoestring in college.
