I mean, it does not matter whether people who vote for fascists are badly misguided, just stupid or plain evil either. The results are the same regardless, and should be met with the same response.

Our greatest politics understanders still don’t get this (or do but don’t want to acknowledge it)

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

It's me, a Telegraph columnist, taking a break screaming bloody murder about fairness in the women's sports I wouldn't be caught dead watching to wax lyrical about academic integrity in sociology, a field I consider to be fake, at institutions I consider to be communist indoctrination centers.

WOW 😳

BREAKING: Steve Yzerman is no longer the GM of the Detroit Red Wings. He is transitioning to senior advisor to Governor and CEO. They begin their search for a new general manager now. Huge news for Wings fans. Let us know what you think below! www.nhl.com/redwings/new... #LGRW #RedWings

Why is it that the chosen ones of the political media class instantly go ka-boom when they go in contact with reality? Over and over again. Seems a strangely inorganic sort of democracy when that happens all the time

I thought it'd be a swell idea to create a starter pack of journalists who specialise in throwing light on the dark(er) side of football. It's small for two reasons: there aren't many of us; and I've probably forgotten plenty of excellent people. Thank you for suggesting additions in replies.

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

Sports owners are using tech to build private surveillance states — while taking public money. Which means that Knicks owner James Dolan is the future. In a new collaboration with @wired.com, we go inside how MSG secretly watches fans, surveils kids, tracks players… youtu.be/yNZ3hJPN5Vc?...

And another Anfield legend says his farewell. Robbo never let go of that left back spot once he grabbed hold of it. The finest left back I’ve seen in a red shirt

Really feels like the end of an era with Mo going off. Some of the best years of my Liverpool supporting life. Easily the best team I’ve seen in Red. All the best Mo, thanks for the memories

This was a remarkable press conference. Clearly he feels threatened and is completely paranoid. Delightful

🚨 Florentino Perez: “I'm the president with most titles in football history, don’t forget”. “Fans and socios are with me”.

Washington and Utah do not deserve to draft two potential superstars. Pity.

NBA@nba.com

The results are in for picks 1-4 in the NBA Draft Lottery 2026: 1. Washington Wizards 2. Utah Jazz 3. Memphis Grizzlies 4. Chicago Bulls

He really doesn’t help himself does he

🚨 Arne Slot on Šeško’s goal: “I think it's a touch on his hand. The curve on the ball changed so there must have been a contact”. “But it's NO surprise to anyone that if there is a VAR intervention then the decision goes against us. It's happened to us ALL season”.

Loved this. What a fantastic competitor and representative of the game. Wish him well in his retirement

What made Anže Kopitar great? We talked with teammates, contemporaries and others close to the Kings legend to discuss the future Hall of Fame center. www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

The purpose of culture war is not to *win*. The purpose of it is to keep fighting about nothing you actually care about, at astonishing intensity, as a distraction from you stealing from and fucking over the public. You pick topics specifically because you don’t care whether you win or lose.

A trio that will go down in history as arguably the best frontline in our history. So many memories. So many great nights. Sad that it comes to an end but I look forward to the next iteration of this team

Liverpool have played 594 matches since the start of the Klopp era. At least one of Firmino, Mané and Salah was on the pitch in 541 (91% of them). This was true for 272 out of 283 matches when they were all at the club. All nine exceptions were in domestic cups. Unmatchable contribution as a trio.
