It feels like Arsenal won’t ever escape their run of nervy wins by a one goal margin.
Keep playing like they did today and they will.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.
The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah.

Unseeded knockout tournaments will never be the best barometer of who is the best team. Maybe 30-50% of the time I’d say the actual best team wins.
Crazy that this ends up being a major messing stick for some people.
