At this point, serious questions have to be asked about Michael Oliver. I'll start: is he biased, corrupt or just utterly incompetent?

And if PGMOL attempt to defend that decision, they might as well declare that they're not fit for purpose.

Will say this for Elon’s salute. Working in sports journalism 100% prepares you for just how much people are willing to not see what happens in front of them, despite clear video evidence, when incentivized by prior emotional and ideological commitments.

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference, a letter from an alleged X whistleblower.

"What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations."

Fuck. Off. Nevermind being sick of going there, this' the worst news around atm. We need a summer off to reset, give players the rest they need and the coach the time he needs on the training ground to install his system. Fuck doing the PL's legwork while they secretly let Chelsea/City off the hook.

Haven’t been this angry about the collective failure of our society to properly address antisemitism in quite a while.
Elon Musk is the most dangerous antisemite in America
Elon Musk often amplifies antisemitic conspiracy theories. His power as Twitter CEO gives him terrifying influence.

“The New York Times went with ‘Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture.’ The Washington Post opted for ‘Elon Musk gives exuberant speech at inauguration.’ Some local TV stations even cut their footage right before the first and most obvious salute.”

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it.

Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was.

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

Well this idea can get to fuck. Instead of creators having to opt out how about tech companies paying for copyrighted material instead!

In images I never thought I would see in my lifetime, the revolutionary Syrian flag is being raised at the Syrian embassy in MOSCOW.

Few things explain the scale of Russia’s military and strategic defeat in Syria more than this.

FIFA president (2023 pay circa $4.5m) asks for free workers (volunteers) to sign up for the $2 billion Club World Cup that will pay millions in prize money to professional footballers. Typically volunteers lose money (travel/accommodation) to do this.
