Peter Thompson's excellent career at Liverpool FC came to and end on 5 January 1974.
Following a one-month loan to Bolton Wanderers, he signed for them for £18,000 and is considered one of the biggest bargain buys in the club's history.

watching #LFC might be making me all kinds of anxious at the moment so I give thanks to Everton for conceding four at home yesterday and now MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB for sacking their four hundredth manager since that exceptional period where they actually won the league for a few years

Reminder that almost a quarter century ago, Schumer voted for the Hague Invasion Act, declaring that the US would militarily invade the Hague were it ever to be prosecuted by ICC for war crimes.
Biden did too, it was an overwhelmingly bipartisan agreement to be unaccountable to international law.

Why do EU reps continue to use Musk’s Nazi Parlour to do their PR??
All opposition to war has been dismissed for decades as being appeasement and Munich.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you…appeasement and Munich

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

![Breaking News Consumer's Handbook
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
- "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
- "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't haveit.
- "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qjoddtmp5jxzkzvt3hoqz3tt/bafkreigi2e6uxrt67htjbrfcmtpbasfuz4jvetyyecnqvxxyt45zile72y@jpeg)

It’s a pity nobody is strong enough to invade the US (and that other terrorist state in the Middle East, for that matter) and remove their leader. The world would be a much safer place for everyone.
