NEW: Glasgow City Council has just approved a massive AI-generated mural to be painted in the city centre.
The illustration of Scottish elements inexplicably contains a bald eagle.

A reminder that it's not really about security, it's that Trump looks at Greenland on a map (hello, Mercator Projection) and it looks really big, and there's a lot of mediocre men running the US Government who are very interested in ways to make...things...look bigger. #compensating

I never had any intention of going to any of the matches that were in the US, but at those prices I wouldn't be going to them anywhere. That's not sustainable for the future of the game.
