Never in doubt.

Partly my fault for timing my trains down to the minute, only to find a pile of bodies standing between me and the platform lol.
Can't wait for the Palace game!

You get a pass lol, but in stations, shopping centres etc it does my head in. Doesn't anyone have anywhere they'd rather be? Locomotion aids being misused as crutches, or crutches being taken for suspended animation...

Yeah, I don't get it. If you've 30kg of stuff or are 90, ok, but the majority are carrying nothing and movement keeps us alive. Usually have to take stairs since zombies are wilfully blocking everything else. And moving walkways are lateral and luggage has wheels. After a 9hr flight, circulation no?

I'm often confused. Just gonna keep a running list of things that baffle me.
1. Standing on escalators/moving walkways. You've just been sitting for hours. Once you reach something moving you lose all will to aid your own locomotion, staring off vacantly, blocking those trying to pass. Who hurt you?

Yeah, was thinking of those two. Plus get Saka and Trossard closer to goal for rebounds and that's some incredible collective dexterity

I think we'll start seeing more of them, positioning getting more ambitious within the box and our forwards have quick feet.

And another, even scrappier!!

Forgive him now. Great surging run by MLS, great finish by little Gabi!!

Ezra @ezraezra.bsky.social · 6d

Then Gabi saves a Simeone goal at the other end!

Ezra @ezraezra.bsky.social · 6d

Martinelli wildly out of control but somehow got a foul that big Gabi scores from!!!!

Ezra @ezraezra.bsky.social · 6d

MLS should have closed down when Raya went AWOL on the sideline. Gave them way too much space for a potshot at goal. Our most vulnerable moment that half

Tuesdays are a battlefield.

Mars was the Roman god of war.

The Germanic equivalent was Tīw or Tiu (Norse = Tyr).

This is why today is called ‘Tuesday.’

And why it’s mardi/martes/martedì in the Romance Languages.

is a half-cooked unprofitable energy-intensive bullshit machine run by a bunch of technofascist sociopaths to hoover up engagement with zero ethical guard rails in a collapsing unregulated country going to enshittify?

real question for the ages there

Sadly, this is the reality. Appeasement didn't work with Crimea in 2014 and it never works with autocrats. Russian imperialism and attempts to erode democracy are a grave threat to Europe, and an even greater threat if rewarded with more territory.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 7d

"The only reason for Putin to stop is if he is stopped." A senior German general said that unless Russia is stopped in Ukraine, democracy and the rule of law in the rest of Europe will be at severe risk.

Senior German General Says Europe Must Do All It Can to Help Ukraine

European democracy and rule of law are at risk, the general says, so Europe must give Ukraine whatever it can to pressure Moscow, even if Trump does not.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Colombia officially accuses the Trump regime of murder after it exposed that Trump and Hegseth ordered the murder of unarmed civilians in order to score political points for themselves. This was civilian murder and a war crime. We demand a criminal investigation and Trump’s arrest.

Colombia: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters”

“Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.”

“The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.”

No, really. It was founded by Josemaria Escrivá in 1928 in Spain. Escrivá was closely tied to Franco's regime and was known to praise Hitler, deny the Holocaust, and support authoritarian dictatorships worldwide. Opus Dei members are tied to some of the worst human rights abuses of the 20th century.
