It's been quite a year for Tottenham Hotspur. I'm still trying to get my head around it. So where does it leave them for 2026?

Has Tottenham’s year of change really set them up for ‘more wins, more often’?
Spurs' new power-brokers insist on-pitch success is their priority - is the club now set up to achieve it?

More important than this: Trump’s voters, if they supposedly support him so much, should consider becoming donors to the Trump-Kennedy Center if they believe in the mission of the place so much! But they won’t because that would require getting off their asses
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Quick reminder that when Elon Musk was in government, he lied about massive fraud, and did so to eliminate safety net programs as well as government capacity to oversee real fraud.
