Had a chance to stop a member of the Guard and ask whether they carried any guidance on their person about Posse Comitatus Act (and/or a list of "exceptions" like the troops in LA were given per DOJ). He didn't seem sure what PCA is but did show me this doc he had in his pocket on rules of force.

The insanity continues. No way that’s a penalty for #newcastle. #NEWIPS

Refereeing in this match is insane, and it’s negatively impacting both sides. The #newcastle goal should stand, and the #ipswitch yellow card for simulation was nonsense. #NEWIPS

Foul against Tierney during Nwaneri’s corner would have been a penalty if an #Arsenal player committed it. Foul against Martinelli that only got a yellow would have been a red if it was the other way around. #ARSBRE

The songs #Arsenal fans sing about #DeclanRice and #KaiHavertz both reference their transfer fees. #BukayoSaka said earlier this week that the great thing about Hale End producing #Nwaneri, #MylesLewis-Skelly, and him is that it saves the club money. #AFC #COYG

🧵: H.R.26 seeks to designate 'Antifa' as a terrorist organization. Some of the things that they are labeling as 'Antifa' activities include perfectly legal work done by LGBTQ+ activists, such as acting as security for drag events.

With Odegaard and Merino now on the injury list, I propose a new team nickname: The Glass Cannons #coyg #arsenal #wolars
