Just look at the difference between how the two teams were standing during the penalty shootout. One looks like a tight knit group.
Two geoups of players are lined up at the middle line. On the right side the German players form a tight row, arms around their teammates shoulder/waist. On the left side the French, standing less close to each other and not touching.

Another example of every accusation being an admission. When they accuse people of cheating and stealing and grifting, it’s because that is what they are doing.

By the time these posts were made, though, according to sources who were granted anonymity because they fear retaliation, SpaceX engineers were already being onboarded at the agency under Schedule A, a special authority that allows government managers to “hire persons with disabilities without requiring them to compete for the job,” according to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

This Ursula Franklin quote is from 1989.
www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/...
"Technology is not the sum of the artifacts, of wheels and gears and rails and electronic transmitter. For me technology is a system. It entails far more than the individual material components. Technology involves organization, procedure, symbols, new words, equations, and most of all it involves a mindset..." -- Ursula Franklin

Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook The head of Zurich's department of security peddles three lies in one short sentence on Ali Abunimah's arrest to stop his speaking tour. * Abunimah is not an 'Islamist'. He's entirely secular. * The claim he's a 'Jew hater' is beyond preposterous. One of his closest, longtime colleagues at EIectronic Intifada is Jewish, as have been many of his website's contributors. * He's made no 'calls for violence', in Switzerland or anywhere else, beyond insisting on the right of resistance enshrined in international law against Israel's illegal occupation and its regional wars of aggression. Meanwhile, the state Abunimah criticises – Israel – has senior government ministers who are self-declared religious fascists. For decades, Israel has held Palestinians under a hate-filled apartheid regime. And for the past 15 months, Israel has been committing genocide – the ultimate act of violence – against the Palestinians. European elites are turning the world on its head.

Is it social media rage bait that has led to paragraphs like this or is it just a passive aggressive writing style dressed up as investigative journalism?

Liberals dressed to the nines chatted among themselves, largely talking over the week's news. They drank Canadian wines that ranged in price from $48 to $61 per bottle. The bottom of the wine list noted the GST/HST holiday, which temporarily takes sales tax off wine.

They could have chosen to celebrate a great football player, but they chose to be nasty.
