Backlash to data centers might very well be the biggest issue in the midterms, with nearly 70 percent of Americans opposing them. Is it any wonder why?

Now Paris Saint Germain vs Olympic Lyonnesse (HT 0-0). PSG spons. (and owned by Qatar) Qatar Airways, Visit Rwanda… OL spons. Fly Emirates… This fucking oil money. And yes, Arsenal’s (and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿team, Wembley st….) main sponsor is Emirates (1M£/year), and Visit Rwanda, but no new contract extensions.

Lula voitti Brassi-prez-vaalit. Hyvä. Ainakin selvästi pienempi paha kuin nazi-Bolsat. Lulasta muisto vuodelta 2006. Olin safkiksella ja Pohjoisespalla dallasin. Autosaattue Linnalta pysähtyi kohdallani. Lula takapenkillä, näytti katsovan meikää. Näytin peukkua. Nyökkäsi takaisin.

Dad (92yrs) phoned. He cannot find the channel 10 on the remote control to watch snooker (NIR Open). 15min and problem solved. Pheew! This is life nowadays… ”Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m ninety two.” Yes, we have both played billiards, years ago.

Context: On 6/6/14, President Obama & Putin were both in France to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day. This tense conversation occured on the sidelines of a leaders' luncheon. This was their first face-to-face meeting since Russia had unilaterally annexed Crimea earlier that year.

Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92 I was once in RSO consert and when Allegretto started, I started to hum the melody. The lady next to me say shut up! She was right. But I did it without realizing it. But then again, I was in Urho’s Pub before the consert.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Actor Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: “It’s all an act. He’s deeply insecure. He’s a malignant narcissist. He’s a socio-psychopath. He’s dangerous. Shame on Republicans that don’t have the balls to go after him. He’s an outright fucking criminal.”

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Stoke - Middlesbrough (Viaplay) 1969 pelasin Stokessa. Oikeesti nappulakortteliliigaa Puotinkylän Valtissa, mutta se oli Stoke. Vuosi ennen Benficassa (HJK nappulat). Toivotaan, että Stoke voittaa, mutta nyt Arsenal - Lille pariin…

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Olivia Ulenius, 19 yrs, the first goal at 🇫🇮 national team! What a talent! 1-3 (aggr 2-6). #ArsenalWFC : take a notion on Ulenius (and Joanna Tynnilä, center-back), you need em. The next step on the road to Brazil is Italy. The odds are even.

0-1 (3’) Emma Koivisto. Women’s football (and rights) in orthodox Serbia: about 20 spectators?? So sad. Hope the change will come. In Finland were c. 7000 spect.

#ARSLEE 2-1 Phiuu! Leeds is a tuff team. Daniel Farke has done good job in England. First in Norwich and now Leeds. But in the end there’s a tuffer team. #COYG
