When does LeBron finally go, “I’m too old for this shit?”

I almost missed the BBC’s attempt at limiting European colonisation of Africa to the “18th and 19th centuries.” They think they’re slick…

I can imagine Hamilton reading Fanon in a garage somewhere.

three minutes?!
throw infantino in a pit.

twos and free throws OR make the three-point line the four-point line and twos become threes. the second option keeps modern spacing concepts, but flattens the math a bit to make shots from the current three distance a little less powerful.

when playing basketball on concrete, pavement, or even hardwood without refs, somehow, magically, without fail, nobody, in my experience, ever fixes their body to take a charge—and nobody ever complains. suggesting putting one’s body in the way simply for punishment is fundamentally anti-basketball.

I can haggle on the three-point line, the rest are non-negotiables.

Things I would eliminate from the NBA:

a) three-point line
b) block/charge
c) gather step
d) coach’s challenge
e) away teams wearing white

Barcelona are cooking these guys. Atletico aren’t there to play football, just hold on as long as possible.

but the vinyl collection tho! dope

That new Jill Scott has healing in it. Fantastic work.

Scoring a stoppage time winner in the Vélodrome looks like fun.

Aubameyang was in the wilderness with Barcelona and Chelsea, but he’s having a great last chapter to his career.

Surely the winner for Marseille against Lyon just now and 42 goals in 82 apps in his two recent spells.

Endrick looks good with Lyon. Player at his stage needs regular minutes, not living on the Madrid bench.

I ranted on the podcast about Chelsea this week, but I honestly feel nothing today. I fully expected games to have no shape, players to get sent off, and to drop points.

I'm only saying one can accomplish those things without recording pre-tax losses of €407 million.

And yes, that says Chelsea haven't beaten Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the league since 2018, and haven't beaten them at all in the league since 2021. Arteta has them in hell.

Pretty easy to tell when Chelsea had Abramovich and Arsenal were under/recovering from financial stress because of the Emirates.

@zeets.bsky.social beat me to this. i'm sad about it.

Fully made-up quote, but the sentiment hits.

Arsenal winning the league via set pieces...

dope! s/o your dad, the boys needed some good luck at halftime, was looking shaky there for a bit.

Murdering an octogenarian to cause war/civil war. It's the dumbest of timelines you and I are trapped inside.

I find it interesting the diaspora of many groups are the least politically informed and most propagandised, so consequently the worst people to get information from about a particular country or geopolitical occurrence.

Before Lamar Jackson they’d be discussing him as a wide receiver prospect. Happy the paradigm has somewhat shifted.

I hear you. Were Obama and them targeting the actual Pakistani government or more religious extremist groups inside the country? I think these engagements with Iran are designed for regime change, which are attack son its sovereignty. I don’t think it goes this way if they have nukes.

I notice the U.S. and its allies don’t bomb North Korea with seeming impunity despite opposition to their government.
China play a larger part there, but North Korea have nuclear weapons, Iran do not as yet. However one feels about their government, Iran are a softer target for the bullies to bully.

why don’t they defect to reimagine the conservative party?

No matter the format, UEFA find ways to bring us PSG v. Chelsea and/or Real Madrid v. Man City.

Liberals hate being “out-lefted.”

They seek to set the edge. Anything further left can’t be given oxygen, or their progressive mask falls to reveal an ideology working for corporations, billionaires, and the statuts quo more than the masses of working people they’re nominally elected to represent.
