My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this time last year.

My final conversation with him was talking about Arne Slot taking over at Liverpool.

I told him we'd watch Arne's first game together.

He passed away a few days later.

Liverpool winning the league this season is everything.

So we shouldn't state the absolute fact that Boomers, on average, have considerably more wealth than our generation.

Meanwhile, Boomers told Millennials they're weak, frivolous and crap for decades to justify our lack of remaining opportunities.

MPs criticise 'wealth-hoarding' boomers stereotype as ageist

Trump's presidency is less than a month old and I'm more convinced than ever he won't get through to the next election without a total and utter constitutional collapse.

Canada, Greenland, Panama, Gaza.

The guy is unfit and unhinged; a full on embarrassment to the United States of America.

The Far Right will hate on people for self-identifying as a different gender, but then literally riot when anyone questions their right to self-identify as Christians.

We're constantly told that American democracy is the greatest on Earth, but all I see is a system that votes for one man to have the absolute power of a king.

Trump is proving the frailty of the entire system right now by signing autocratic executive orders that ignore any due process.

The algorithm at X is *designed* to show you the opposite view to any you've expressed or liked before.

So because I like posts about peace and equality, it shows me a timeliness full of hate and racism.

Hate bait for profit.

If aliens were socially engineering human politics to undermine, divide and gradually destroy us from within, I'm honestly not sure how it would look any different from the current situation.

Am I the only one who sees Cummings vs Johnson as the prawn cocktail starter for Musk vs Trump?

What modern football phrases do we need to nuke from orbit?

For me, it's talking about a player's 'ceiling'.

The most nonsense Football Manager concept I've ever seen.

Liverpool winning the league without signing a single player would be the funniest thing to ever happen in English football, by the way

Incredble foresight on the part of Hollywood that they wouldn't give him a job before Trump came along either.

Everyone gets that this is because the far right have LOST political power in Britain, right?

They are full of rage because they have no control of the narrative, and are losing the very institutions they mistakenly believed they were rising to the top of.

Why do they always look like single episode antagonists on the X-Files?
