Making the most depressing point I can make yet again: the US media is going to treat Donald Trump with far less vitriol in response to him starting a random war in Venezuela vs the sheer level of vitriol that they hurled at Joe Biden for ENDING the War in Afghanistan.
Every major news organization should be writing about how insane this is and how, if he takes this country to war (tomorrow?), it is the act of a madman.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Watched the first over of England's innings. Predicted that Australia might be batting again before the end of the day.

Wasn't far off.

One good thing that the Covid pandemic brings us are accessible antigen tests. In addition to the now usual Covid antigen tests I bought a box of these quadruple tests, even including adenovirus. Every household should have Cov/Flu/RSV tests at home to know what you are dealing with when sick.

Every episode of Pluribus and every horrific action from Carol confirms my reading. Allegory for AI my arse.

Today’s football trivia question

At Old Trafford yesterday in the game between Manchester United and Bournemouth, Dickie Dowsett could be seen all over the pitch. Who, what, where is Dickie Dowsett?

Well, it is a trivia quiz!

United break! Amad has the ball! Sesko runs like the wind into a good position needing only a ball dropped behind the defence to his feet for an easy tap-in!

Obviously Amad doesn't play the early ball but faffs around and waits for the Bournemouth defence.

Hand to the throat from Semenyo and only a yellow. Casemiro got a red for that the other year (and it wasn't even aggressive like Semenyo's!)

(I'd put money on a United player doing that being red-carded.)

Good old (corrupt) PGMOL.

The defence definitely needs more experience in the middle. Yoro and Heaven could have done more there but they're still learning. Need a Vidic or Ferdinand in there to marshal them.

Good attempt at defence from Fernandes though.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Seen some more Pluribus and I am increasingly convinced that my reading of the allegory (if there is one) is correct. Carol is a sociopathic monster who behaves like a spoilt child, cannot stand that other people disagree with her, and that is exactly (the thing that I suggested the other day).

Given Wolves' predicament, I resurrected my "Can Derby win?" script from 2007, and fed it with the 2025-26 table and fixtures.

From P16 W0 L14 PT2, if every result goes the best way for Wolves, they can come 6th with 68 points.

(Will upload the code later)

Arsenal scoring like they've won the Champions League ... by going 1-0 up against Wolves (P16 W0 L14 D2) at home in the 70th minute with an own goal.

Shambolic.

I hope this will spread widely:

Shame on him. His career won’t end over this but it should.

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.
