a 16yo had his seasoned threatened by a horror challenge and he slightly moves towards the opposition player and is immediately sent off. English refs couldn't care less about player safety

That’s disgraceful officiating and disgraceful play from Fleetwood. Easy red on the tackle that Dowman responded to. And something that wasn’t a red for Palmer this past weekend.

Classic weak officiating from ProRef - your man orders the teams off the field after failing to shoot down a drone, then talks to the captains and sends the players back out. Complete lack of control...smh...

“losing brand deals for dissing Mao” is darkly funny in several different ways

CNN@cnn.com

Soccer star Kylian Mbappé apologized for comments in which he apparently referred to Mao Zedong, the founding leader of Communist China, as a dictator, after facing backlash and losing brand deals with three different Chinese companies. https://cnn.it/48jDo66

I'd be much more interested in evaluating the health impacts of center-right trolls getting paid to write things like: "Foreign factories should be more dangerous than American factories,” following a factory fire in Bangladesh that killed 1,100 people.

Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

There's something really interesting in the dialogue betwen those who are seeing & identifying how AI chat agents are pulling in bogus political polling, how AI chat agents' use of incorrect information directly cuts against the value of telling people to "do their research" & outlets like Axios

Axios has partnered with AI companies & is one of the biggest outlets hyping up AI in recent years. This both seems smart & a damning indictment of how AI is fouling up the internet & information environment

Maybe it's self-serving bs but having a direct feed of trusted, verified news information feels like a useful service to sell! Even if it's a useful response to the current context, the privatisation of access to correct news information feels pretty bleak

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

We aren’t there yet but if we end up with no challenger to Infantino at FIFA and if City find a way to skate on little to no punishment, it will be hard to conclude anything other than both international & club football is fundamentally broken.

The East Potomac golf course is where I learned to play golf. I don’t much any more but for a few years I was there 1-3 times per week. It is awesome.

Trump is attacking public infrastructure that makes a sport economically accessible to people regardless of their race or class. It’s very clearly an attack on working class black DC.

DC has public golf courses. They are racially diverse and inexpensive. IIRC 9 holes on the re course at East Potomac was less than $20.

"This Premier League is built on teams being organised & hard to break down. Teams are happy not to have the ball and eager to have the space to attack on the break. Possession is not king in English football right now & the game is not about controlling the ball, but about controlling the spaces"

Aaron Swartz was hounded by federal law enforcement into taking his own life for behavior that was nowhere near as bad as what these companies do every single day.

I'm not watching but I can only assume from the score that the noise around the 114 guilty verdicts is getting to the Sham City players

— Enzo offside for winner, unanimously ruled error by KMI — Bruno G denied pen (+ Maatsen second yellow), unanimously ruled error by KMI — Phantom pen against Konsa, unanimously ruled error by KMI — Gravenberch sent off for two soft yellows, 0:0 becomes 3:0 It's a lot so early in the season.

there has never been a Liverpool match in their history where more human beings are rooting for them to win than today versus Sham City

This is the vice president's guy, no? This should be every headline, it should lead every newscast and EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE ASKED ABOUT IT.

If City get relegated/expelled then we won't have to talk about the "Big 6" any longer...but it's probably also the time to point out that Spurs don't belong in that big club classification on merit, either...Back to the Big 4 then?

I am pretty comfortable saying that sometime since Sham City were privately informed early this summer about their guilt verdict, they’ve received a legal or crisis comms briefing with a major slide or plan around “Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt” as their core strategy once the verdict became public.

They clearly think enough FUD can prompt UK government intervention & get the league or some key clubs to wet their pants about the consequences of punishing City for cheating
