Arteta: Team are jumping. Me: Can someone remind Raya how to do that properly.

Sigh. It’s obvious what Trump was doing here.

He making a play to regain the childless cat lady vote.

Still pissed off at the non penalty. Was it a clear penalty? No. Was it an obvious error? No.

Reminded me of the David Luiz pen/red 2 years ago against Wolves that cost us fourth. That penalty stood with even less contact, and a more obvious dive. The bullshit gaslighting afterwards from MOTD, too!

Why Landlords never seem to take into account that rises in property/land value also equal profit has always been a mystery to me.

Xhaka incident was a symptom of the malaise. Malaise cured, previous symptom irrelevant.

It’s fine, she said in an interview afterwards that her next career move is fulfilling a lifetime ambition of joining the circus. So the spot is still open.

Part of me wonders what a Greta Gerwig - Oppenhiemer and/or Christipher Nolan’s - Barbie would look like.

I might get downvoted to oblivion, but I’m open to discussion.

Firstly, having read the full article… IF (big if) she’s telling the truth and it wasn’t even her then its hard not to feel sympathy for her.

Secondly (more controversially), is a picture of a noose racist? I mean, it certainly has racist connotations and I personally wouldn’t have used it, but (bear with me) I’m not sure racist is the concrete conclusion. Lots of people have been hung throughout history, if you’re not viewing it through a racial lens then are you a racist or just very insensitive.

What about if it was a picture of a mastiff? Or a police officer? Both these things could symbolise the subjugation of slaves. Are we really gonna ban pictures of dogs or police?

Symbols mean different things to different people. Sometimes people just need to be told they’ve been insensitive and given the chance to apologise with promise of doing better in the future.

There is a scenario where whoever put that up was not invoking the lynchings of black people specifically.

Just my 2c.

As a local, I really don’t mind that this is the most famous Manchester picture from the last 4/5 years- genuinely a work of art.

Organising nones is like herding cats. The evangelicals do not get their power from their number. They vote uniformly and reliably, turning out for every primary, local, and federal election.

We are a diverse bunch with diverse opinions.
