After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Honestly, I’m actually feeling unusually hopeful. The past few days seem to have woken up a lot of the “you’re overreacting” moderates. It’s not enough, not yet, but it’s something.
Now we can’t let them go back to sleep.

Feeling a quiet confidence about #Arsenal today, instead of an impending sense of doom, and I don’t need any better proof of the cultural transformation that Arteta has done with this club.

Don’t order anything from Breeze footwear. Site says hassle free returns, but there’s no info on the site for how to do it, the phone number has no agents (seriously) and the email gets no response. 🤷♂️🙄

Watching Rudiger and Real throw a fit at the end of a losing El Classico is so fitting. Lost Copa, out of Champions and unlikely to win their league. Justice being served for these whiners and bullies.

Why is a team’s media channel allowed to make attack pieces against refs? Real Madrid should, at the least, be fined into oblivion, and at worst, forfeit the Copa.
I’m so glad Arsenal embarrassed these entitled fuckers. Rooting hard for Barca in this.

Personally if I worked at the White House I would not admit that the entire Pentagon is opposed to the President and Secretary of Defense. That's the kind of thing I would not want out in public. It's the kind of thing that could convince even dedicated Republicans that you are the baddies.
"The President stands strongly behind Sec. Hegseth, who is doing a phenomenal job leading the Pentagon,” WH press secretary Leavitt said. “This is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and against the monumental change that you are trying to implement.”
Stands far behind.

As a non-religious person but a big sports fan, instead of saying I’m “praying” for someone I go with sports metaphors:
-I’m rooting for you
-I’m in your corner
-Tap me in if you need anything
-God isn’t real but Declan Rice just proved miracles are
-I’m on your team
Seems to work for everyone
