the moment requires a once-in-a-century investment in physical and social infrastructure, a massive increase in industrial capacity, a massive increase in defence spending, and decarbonisation and onshoring resilience functions. yet the government is preoccupied with making school lunches inedible

And that's ok BTW. He's no forward. At least not yet. But it shows the folly of making it plan A instead of a potential chaos option as you say

Totally doesnt know the pos. There was a moment in the first half, trossard I think put it across goal and there were 4 defenders and merino. Merino moved way too late to meet it and you just thought yeah a full time centre forward would have anticipated that..even if they didn't score from it

About 15 years ago we had just completed a week on the Canal du Midi and crossed the Etang de Thau and docked at Bouzigues. Oysters and Picpoul at sunset on the boat was a real lightbulb moment, so good

He is such a weak, tiny little man. And he is making his nation weak and tiny too.

I'm human. So are the players, no matter how far removed from our reality they sometimes appear to be. Ødegaard leaves everything he has on the pitch every single game and was brilliant just four days ago. Not everything has to be a crisis.

Voters don’t vote based on causal inferences, they vote on emotion and narrative! When your political opponents are fascists, you do not need to be logically rigorous in your argument- you need to capture attention, produce emotion, and provide narrative that harms the fascists every chance you get

Usually when an executive guts a bureaucracy, the ill effects take months or years to manifest and continue for decades. It is extremely rare for the cause and effect to be this immediate and dramatic. This is what enemies of good governance rely on. If this was a coincidence, ok, let them prove it.

It's the cowardice, for me. Such big swaggering dudes shouting the closest they can get to slurs in our House of Representatives, and then sneering at anyone who criticises them, refusing to budge and inch, and then suddenly "oh no whoops we didn't mean it" when there are actual consequences

Just schedule your what fresh he'll is this post every morning 9am. It'll be entirely relevant, accurate and unfortunately equally distressing ☹️
