I use this mostly for my thoughts on Arsenal, Arkansas Razorbacks, Carolina Hurricanes,golf and politics. Pansexual, AuDHD, agnostic, raised as an evangelical fundamentalist home schooler but got the hell outta that cult!

That is a disastrous performance from Arsenal.

And frankly the scenes at the end smack of team who are losing their rag and feeling the fear.

Just not good enough in every aspect.

2-0 up and let the bottom side back into it. Horrible on every level. Individually and collectively nowhere near good enough.

We heaped pressure on ourselves, and those who question our title credentials and mentality have plenty of ammunition (rightly so).

Double duel ⚔️

The UWCL quarterfinals will NOT disappoint! We’ll be seated for two of the most iconic rivalries in football. Arsenal will take on Chelsea in the London Derby, and Barcelona will play Real Madrid in El Clásico. Who will come out on top? 🔝🏆

I’m going to be in London next month, but I didn’t understand Arsenal’s ballot ticket system and missed the window.

If anyone knows a way to get 1 or 2 tickets to the Everton game, I will give you my first born child.

This "why does the left hate AI?" thing is like when the right believes protests are paid for by George Soros; they need a SECRET CONSPIRATORIAL AGENT because they refuse to believe that, actually, a lot of people are independently looking at what AI is being made to be and saying "ok that sucks?"

It sure seems like when we have our basic needs met, and don't have to hustle to survive, humans will almost always choose to create art.

And there is a lot of evidence that when a society decides to honor and promote art and artists, everyone who lives there is measurably happier.
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

the real hypocrisy here isn't Vance's tacit endorsement of birthright citizenship (which the administration has argued against), it's his implicit critique of the idea that the elite get to play by their own set of rules (which is as close as the administration has to a fixed value)
From @theathletic.com: Vice President JD Vance does not seem to agree with Eileen Gu's choice to represent China, rather than the United States, at the Olympics. Gu, who was born in San Francisco, has won five medals for China, where her mother is from. nyti.ms/3ZJtaYv
JD Vance insinuates Eileen Gu should be representing the United States at Winter Olympics
Gu was born in 2003, and her mother, Yan Gu, is a first-generation Chinese immigrant. Her father is American.

Since 1990:
-- Only the richest 1% of households have grown their share of U.S. wealth
-- For the top 0.1%, their share of U.S. wealth has risen nearly 6 points to 14.4%
-- For the bottom half of households, their share of US wealth has dropped from 3.5% to 2.5%

Since the troll column seems to have worked: The very very very very very very very obvious question is not "why hasn't the left embraced AI" but "why has the right so eagerly embraced a tech product built on theft, sold by fraud, and optimized for abuse and misinformation"

Maybe Arsenal could spend some of the money from ticket price increases to make a new new app, because the new app they just released is absolutely horrible.

Maybe it's not aimed at my demographic, but seems mad something like a simple list of the latest news stories has been discarded.

Only 53%? 🤨🤨🤨. The U.S. may be dumbest “developed” country in the world.
Alternate headline: “47% lie to pollsters”
