When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

FIFA is selling parking spots (exact location: unknown) at 2026 World Cup games for between $75 and $175 — more than the price of some actual match tickets at previous World Cups.

I'm sure Josh's write-up will be great, but I couldn't watch the game, it was so stupid.
New: There were moments that felt purely Canadian. Goalkeepers shoveled snow. Fraser Aird got pelted with snowballs. And plows took to a pitch that could've doubled as a rink.

Very straightforward-looking set-up but he used his speed so well, then was perfectly composed, put in the perfect cutback.
TAJON BUCHANAN!
It won't be an assist officially due to the initial save and rebound, but no mistake about it, it's all Buchanan's creation on Villarreal's second of the afternoon against Espanyol!

The shitty part of this is that citizens will pay this through taxes, and there's never a push for security services to not be terrible from the people who control the budgets.

How about start with being a good community partner and consider asking people in soccer what they want.
CSB CEO James Johnson is beginning his presentation on the state of the play, addressing where the broader game stands and where CSB is heading.
“I want to be very clear: CSB is ready to lead,” he says. “We’ve built a strong foundation over the past seven years.”

Asked about @pfacan.ca, Johnson says they’re working towards a collective bargaining agreement and says he expects a deal to be struck in the next 12 months.

Dos Santos was not a good head coach last time he tried. I wonder if he's improved.
Sources: LAFC assistant Marc Dos Santos is the frontrunner to be named LAFC's next head coach when Steve Cherundolo leaves this winter.
