The idea that if Zelensky had been nice to Trump that Trump would not be siding with Putin is without credibiluty. For instance, Zelensky was criticized for disagreeing with Trump publicly (that is a new mortal sin)--but Macron did the exact same thing just days earlier.

There is a market for bad creative work: art on presentations, elevator music etc. that is currently filled by jobbing artists/designers but will be done by AI. Unfortunately that's how many artists pay their bills

Macron is the winger or no 10 who makes random solo runs all game then does one amazing thing. Shultz is the holding midfielder who doesn’t do anything very well but is better than the alternative.

I dunno, the Premier League has incredibly low standards. Basically if he can put up the money and isn't the subject of a warrant, he's in.

Also the same people who can access private education can access private medical services and get diagnoses much more quickly. I don't know the English system but in N Ireland NHS diagnosis is effectively unavailable.

Not really. It’s become a knee jerk reaction among progressives to believe there is some clever plan at the root of the madness. Totally evidence free.

More like an aged wildebeest being nipped to death by hyenas in a nature documentary.

"Things can only get a little bit better and only slowly" isn't as catchy.

I know, I know, it's election season. Any channel helps. Then again, why feed the amplifying machine of #AfD propaganda? Because ... someone is wrong on the internet?

Easily the best thing I have read on the subject. Should be the start of a proper discussion. As a cis, heterosexual man I'm not going to pontificate on the issue. I do think there's not enough risk of the player screwing up their relationship with Tash which makes the story too bland.
