“But then you add Kurt Angle to the mix…” #steinermath
RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

First day of God-awful #TDF2025 coverage on NBC is done… made even worse by their continuing rehabilitation attempts for the sport’s biggest ever fraud. Bring back the Euro feed. 🙏

Enjoyed the advanced screening of @simplemindsmusic.bsky.social “Everything Is Possible” film in NYC last night. Looks like a huge nod due to @graemethomson.bsky.social for kickstarting this nostalgic journey with his “Theme For Great Cities” book.

Going to be some party in Aberdeen tonight. Not quite as raucous as Dundee last week for United finishing fourth… but some party all the same. 🥳

Poor Hearts. At least they’ve got the “We’ll Finish Above Aberdeen” trophy to parade around Tynie before their next Bottom Six dead rubber. 😂

Trump declares US citizens protesting Tesla are “garbage” and that if he catches you doing it he’s going to declare you a domestic terrorist. #3E #TeslaTakeDown

Hopefully the world boycotts this farce. Leave the US to battle it out with Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Hungary, Iran and whichever MLS department Lionel Messi is prostituting himself for.
Like the Super Bowl mid-game spectaculars, the 2026 final game slated to take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will include the World Cup's very first halftime show.

I’m sure millions of football fans the world over will show their displeasure next summer by shunning the latest World Cup debacle… like they did for Russia, Qatar…
A piece on FIFA president Infantino and the company he keeps, and what it tells us about him. In thrall to Trump, Vance, Putin, MBS and whichever other despots and war-mongers can make him feel like a player. For the good of the game? Yeah right. sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/the-compan...
The company FIFA president Infantino keeps tell you a lot about the man ...
Since coming to power in 2016, he has cosied up to warlords, dictators, corrupt officials, and authoritarian and human rights-abusing regimes, to boost himself.

Not many books get a 5-star rating from me. This one by Russell Shorto does. And what a way to go out with a quote from a Holocaust survivor:
“Life is absurd. It has no meaning. But it has beauty, and wonder, and we have to enjoy that.”
