The more I think about it, the more infuriating it is The president of Fifa just taking it upon himself to sell off stakes of a global tournament that has no need to sell anything off The sheer brazenness is something else www.youtube.com/watch?v=omg5...

What rational or financial argument is there to sell off one of the most valuable "products" in the world - that you insist is only going to become more valuable? Why would you sell off ownership in the World Cup? It's not like there are debt issues www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Trump on the Reflecting Pool: "It's very strong. You couldn't, if you had a knife — I don't want to give anybody ideas — if you had a knife, you can't even cut it. So strong, so powerful."
Trump on the reflecting pool: “We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible.” 😭

Embarrassing for NZ media that it took the @nytimes.com to visit rural Māori communities to show the hardship they are experiencing.
When the Iran war choked the Strait of Hormuz, New Zealand was particularly vulnerable because it imports all of its refined fuel. In the country's remote village of Ruatahuna, the consequences have been severe.

Deeply unfair to compare Arsenal games to the NFL, which allows forward passes
Main takeaway from the disallowed West Ham goal is that, whatever was going on in that box, it definitely wasn't football. NFL-style tedium will be the hallmark of this season's Premier League, unfortunately, regardless of who wins it. Big challenge to correct the course.
I've just realised this means no more "Fuck knuckles cock and piss. Balls."
🧵My take here is that the coalition government has decided to abolish the BSA because it has advice that the authority's assertion that the Broadcasting Act gives it jurisdiction over online broadcasting is well-founded and would prevail in a court. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
This is true but ignores that gas goes up because oil goes up. Which pushes the prices of shipping and manufacturing up, increasing pressure on inflation.
If you own a car of average efficiency driven a typical amount, gas has gone from the fourth biggest cost of ownership at ~$90/mo to ~$120/mo, behind accumulated depreciation (~$200/mo) and insurance premiums (~$150/mo) but leapfrogging maintenance (~$100/mo). The Iran War has cost you perhaps $40.
