Merino knows what he’s doing there. Dragging his foot up Onana’s back. Reason for Villa to be pleased if they’re getting under the Arsenal players’skin.

everyone is asking me why I’m not mad at Rep. K.K. Klansman for passing the “Murder My Child With a Machete on National TV” Bill which would Of course murder my Child on national tv, and to those RUBES I say,”it’s a bill, and I respect bills because I love democracy”

My opinion of the New York Times is distinctly outside the mainstream among journalists. Most think NYT is mostly excellent journalism with some flaws and blind spots, I think it's mostly a vehicle for laundering right wing propaganda with some excellent people who put out good work.
I just learned that this incredibly flawed story was put on the front page of the newspaper, and that certainly seems like an editorial choice
New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok!
So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵

Liverpool's win over Wolves was standard for this season, a mixed bag of encouragement and desperation. Here's my review: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/the-match-...

A couple of statistical rarities yesterday.
15 recoveries for Jones, seven completed take-ons for Wirtz.
Tenth and 14th examples of a Liverpool player hitting these marks in league or Europe in the last nine seasons respectively.

I would recommend the person who quoted this to research what the purpose of the Earth was in Hitchhiker’s and how that worked out.
Recently I posted my negative views of gen-AI, and someone responded with a quote from Douglas Adams that ended "anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.” The message being I'm just an old fuddy-duddy.
I love Douglas Adams, but he didn't see this bullshit.

Can’t believe Kamara genuinely tried to score that. Just knock it past Sanchez and it’s an inevitable penalty.

Rogers there isn’t doing anything that the Chelsea players weren’t doing to Martinez for their goal. Refs need to make their mind up. Either shoving opponents at corners is ok or it isn’t.

Much like at Spurs, I think a lot of Liverpool fans will come away from this game with a negative feeling based on the latter stages. But on both occasions that could have been avoided by not conceding a set-piece. They are truly dreadful at them and something needs to be done.

At 2-0 up at HT, against one of the poorest PL teams in modern memory, we should have stepped on them and given them a hammering, yet here we are nervous at 85 minutes at 2-1, mind boggling really

So André fouls Kerkez. Then shoves him over onto the ball. Then kicks him in the stomach. Twice. Then claims to the referee that Kerkez dove, and flashed the fake yellow card.
Simon Hooper ignores it all.
