So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

ā€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.ā€ A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Since the end of 2023, Martin Odegaard has played in 35 Premier League games. He's lost once. ļ»æļ»æRecord: 27-7-1 ļ»æļ»æ His last loss in the Premier League was against Aston Villa in April. Quite impressive.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

Liverpool, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Atletico, PSG and Aston Villa all on one side of the Champions League draw. Actually feels a bit like last season's in how lopsided it is. Bayern and Barca on the other side but neither feel very convincing. Maybe a big chance for Leverkusen.

šŸ˜”Arsenal's chances hit the hardest šŸ˜ƒBarcelona saw the biggest boost šŸ”“ Liverpool remain the favourites How the Champions League draw affected each team's chances of winning the competition, according to the Opta supercomputer. theanalyst.com/2025/02/cham...

Are people going to defend this too and pretend that yet again 'it's not actually a Nazi salute'? America is in the grip of the far right.

It looks like Steve Bannon just did a Nazi salute at the end of his CPAC speech.

No, but if youā€™re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Please RT: I was run over by a taxi on the north junction of London Bridge (in front of the Wolseley City) around 5.45pm this evening. Knocked off my bike. There were a lot of witnesses. If you saw it, please get in touch.

For Arsenal's piece this season, I wanted to study the development of Black Arsenal. The only place to start: by sitting down with Paul Davis and letting him be my guide. We did this: inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

In a procedural note that I'm sure nobody really cares about or understands, the clubs who've been playing in the knockouts are already drawn into the bracket, it's the top 8 who get drawn in now. Per UEFA's site, Bayern and Feyenoord are in the same bracket, PSV and Madrid in the other.

Got a ticket for Saturday? BRING YOUR FUCKING DINNER

Er, can we all just focus on beating West Ham for now? Thanks #UTA

Assuming I don't die in a plane crash... I will be in Miami Fri-Tues (21-25) and then in Austin Weds-Fri (26-28). If anyone wants to meet up for a drink or a coffee, let me know and I'll try and figure out the schedule.

"Just one more thing. You say you're the law and order president, yet you released 1,500 rioters. You claim to support the police, but many of those rioters attacked them. Now you're firing FBI agents and prosecutors. Frankly, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're a criminal."

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.
