I'd given up hope of being able to see a game at Goodison this season, but a few seats appeared on the resale platform this afternoon and I managed to grab one. Very happy! So if you've given up hope - don't!

Why are Everton posting this on Nazi led✖️ but not on BlueSky!??
Unintended irony and absolute hypocrisy.
3m followers over there but the lack of engagement suggest most are bots, James Rodriguez fans or Kopites.
Come on @evertonfc.com sort it out!

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.
Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "DEIAtruth@opm.gov."

I never give up during a game especially when there's only one goal in it and I expect our players to feel the same way. What will be will be but I still have hope.
