Liverpool fans would not last one day if they had the calls go against them as frequently as Arsenal do. The reaction to Wednesday is very embarrassing for them.

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. " They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory Trumpenomics

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

The nightmare stories deported undocumented people are telling from their journey back to their original country are disgusting. The United States treats undocumented people as subhuman/animals. Every American should feel ashamed, especially those that voted for Orange Hitler.

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

"What you're seeing being constructed here is essentially a kleptocracy, in which the billionaires in this country are going to steal from the poor and the middle class." Democratic Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social unleashes on the Trump cabinet on 'Mehdi Unfiltered' this week.

This weekend is Arsenal’s biggest match of the season. It’ll tell us all we need to know about this squad and this season. Win it, and I think the tide starts to turn. Lose and we might be cooked. #Arsenal #COYG

Mark Zuckerberg is ending factchecking, moving Meta’s moderators to Texas, appointed top Republican Joel Kaplan to head of global affairs, & invited pro-Trump UFC CEO Dana White onto his board. Bending the knee? He has full-on, enthusiastically, rolled over for Trump & wants his belly tickled next.

fascinated by a rhetorical strategy i see all the time now, which is making up an extreme edge case to argue against doing anything for the public good, and doing this from the putative left.

Declan Rice is fucking incredible, but we need to solidify him as our #6. The club fucked up the L8 signing 2 years in a row, and now playing Rice there as a stop gap. We need a proper CF and we need a ball progressing L8. Those are our priorities if we want to win everything. #Arsenal #COYG

Imagine if 2 weeks before the inauguration in 2021, a top donor to Biden, who he had appointed to a top position in his administration, had gone on Twitter & said to a member of the public ‘f u retard’. Imagine the media response - and the pressure on Biden. Just imagine.

Tired of the criticizing for firing Mayo. #Patriots could have easily won 3-4 more games this year but lost it PURELY on bad coaching. The team was undisciplined on AND off the field. The defense got MUCH worse. To top it off, Mayo hurt the franchise by winning vs. Buffalo. It was the right move.

I don't where this all ends up, but I don't think a democracy in which only one of the two major parties is committed to peaceful transition of power is particularly sustainable!

The decision (and it is a clear and conscious policy) of Howard Webb to totally disregard violent conduct and player safety and to fuss endlessly about shit that nobody cares about continues to irritate me profoundly.

As the new year approaches, I have a life hack for everyone: STOP READING SELF HELP BOOKS. Most are right wing propaganda, or teach people how to be selfish people. Instead, get a therapist, get an active hobby, meet people, get a financial advisor, etc. You’re welcome. #NewYearsResutions

Revolving door of injuries continue. Saka will be out months. Sterling weeks. We need to go into the market to sign someone who can produce goals. NO EXCUSES. #Arsenal #COYG

Howard Webb instructing referees and VAR to ignore serious foul play should lose him his job. Utterly appalling.

With all the talk about dismantling the Dept. of Education and the USPS, it’s important to remember how cowardly Republicans are. They never want to fix the root issue of problems because it means actually doing real work. Instead, they either want to privatize everything or destroy it completely.

Going to try to enjoy the next 2-3 week on Twitter because the posts I’ve been seeing lately on that platform have led me to fully decide to delete my accounts there. Specifically, the #Arsenal content on that platform is vile and incredibly pathetic. It’s time to go.

#Arsenal may truly never hit their stride this season due to so many key injuries. It’ll be a real shame if we squander the opportunity to take advantage of City being poor, but that’s what it looks like. We are still unstoppable when fully fit. Could bode well for the UCL knockouts? #COYG
