This #boro games feels stretched like the last 5 minutes of a game. There are 25 minutes left. This isn't staying 2-1 at this rate. #nextGoalIsImportant

Here's an updated "the championship without #boro" table.
The purpose is to get a better idea of the strength of the teams we have played (yellow) and are playing soon (orange). I remove the games that Boro have played and sort by points per game.

If you take #boro out of the league table and sort by points per game, three of the four teams Boro have defeated leap into the top eight. In other words, Swansea, Norwich and Millwall are all averaging 2 points per game or higher when they're not getting tonked by Boro!

Highly enjoyable. The point where you notice the time remaining in the video and realize where this is going...

That's an amazing start.
Boro's first seven games include five pretty tough challenges. I was hoping for 9-10 points, top-10 in the league so we can push with some easier games. #utb

The World War 1 and World War 2 were engineered to prevent Middlesbrough from winning a Division One title.
Finished 3rd in 1913-14 and finished 7th -> 5th -> 4th in the lead up to 1939.

What take would you choose to argue on jubilee with total confidence that you’d crush 20 opponents?

What the American's call 'submarining' - going in low when a player is jumping for the ball - should be a yellow or even red card offense. Muniz could have knacked Henderson there and for no reason. #FULCRY

Whenever someone points out we're letting the other side frame the debate, they're dead-on. I miss it every time.
Why are we letting the Trump administration make us debate whether the attack info was classified, or war plans? If an enemy or a journalist had obtained it wrongfully & made it public, is there any doubt in your mind how the Trump government would’ve treated them? Let’s not play their game.

He should insist that every social security recipient has to sent a weekly email listing five things that they spent the money on.
If they say things like mothballs and powdered egg then his AI tools will detect that they are 150 years old.

Elon Musk says "10% of federal expenditures" are due to people having fake Social Security numbers, claiming it is "half a trillion dollars."

Social security taxes are separate from regular federal income taxes, so why isn't social security separated from federal spending?
normally I’d say if anyone’s an expert on ponzi schemes it’s him but he’s such a dolt he doesn’t even understand people have ALREADY PAID INTO IT, it’s THEIR MONEY
Elon Musk reiterated his intention to destroy programs like Social Security, which he has called a Ponzi scheme:
"Most of the federal spending is entitlements... that’s the big one to eliminate."

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

This needs to become like Sun City in South Africa. They'll be stuck with a Kid Rock residency.

I didn't love the "never split the difference" book but...I appreciated the basic premise that's in the title.
Among other things, what a terrible fucking negotiator
Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."

No you're the coup, you're the coup
The people who are engaged in a series of illegal abuses of government power - some might even call it a coup! - are labeling even the slightest judicial pushback to be a coup. I don't know where this ends, but its clear where they want it to end.

I give Rubio six months.
Senator from Kansas thinks that some foreign aid is important. Wonder why?

Do you remember when getting arrested for civil disobedience was a thing?
With all due respect, you're a United States Senator and that's a rent-a-cop from a private security firm with no authority to stop you.
You can't just take no for an answer here.

We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.
