For me, not using your vehicle's turn signal is a lot like not returning the shopping cart in that I think you're a beast who doesn't deserve to live in society. Like you can't literally lift a finger to make the roads safer for yourself and everyone else? Go live in the woods and drink creek water.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Becoming homeless due to Russian air strikes - bad & sad, you may come and stay. Becoming homeless due to Israeli air strikes - you brought it on yourself, clear off. We are witnessing a grotesque spectacle at the moment www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

This particular line of propaganda no longer works, when we’ve spent the year watching corporate media misrepresent events in Gaza. If you even mention Jen O’ Side on Instagram you get shadowbanned.

So unbelievably proud of my eldest daughter having a piece in todays Gruniad. It’s about loss and love and its wonderful. The bit about taking her to school/ elevator on day 2 in Paris was way way, way worse and more traumatizing than described! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Global North governments have two possible explanations for what they permitted to happen Gaza: 1. They believe Palestinians sit outside of humanity and the rules based order; the post-ww2 system doesn’t apply in Gaza. 2. They have simply allowed Israel to destroy that system.

#OtD 20 Jan 1934 Nazi Germany introduced a law designating capitalists as "fuhrers" of their enterprise and requiring "employees and labourers [to] owe him faithfulness". Along with other measures it helped funnel income from workers to big business. stories.workingclasshistory.c...

Over 715 athletes have been killed in Gaza by Israel. Yet sport organisations continue to let Israel compete. More excellent work from @karimzidan.com www.sportspolitika.news/p/gaza-cease...

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Personally don’t mind losing Mainoo as long as we can afford to keep Dave Brailsford.

If there’s a legitimate possibility of a club pricing out its match-going support to move to a new stadium, and cutting ties to its local community whilst cutting funds to its established charities, and selling its best youth players from the local area, who is that club for? What is that club for?

Man United has improved defensive numbers under a new manager. While there are game state and sample size caveats, since Amorim arrived, they have ranked second in the league for the fewest entries allowed into the danger zone. The team has shifted towards a quieter attack and a more solid defense

Have written, deleted, rewritten and deleted thoughts multiple times over the last few days about Joshua Zirkzee, particularly how he's been spoken about since arriving at United and everything building up to the response when he was substituted on Monday against Newcastle. A short thread:

President Musk knows what's good for you. You may think you know—you may think you have the ability to decide whether or not your current representative is serving you well—but you're wrong. A South African plutocrat with little education actually knows whether your family is being well represented.

The academy record hangs by a thread with that XX. Someone ought to remind Amorim that whatever games he's playing with Rashford, Garnacho, Mainoo etc, ending that will be the death of him before he even gets going.

This Elon Musk tweet should be particularly alarming. For over 100 years in all 50 states, the ACLU has provided legal assistance in cases where civil liberties are at risk. The non-profit organization founded by a woman works to ensure that the government doesn't over reach its lawful boundaries.

The only football story which matters at the moment. On 11 December, on Zoom, supine federations will designate - by acclamation, no vote, and en bloc - Saudi Arabia to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup. Shame on every single one of those cowards and moral zombies. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
