What is wrong with Arsenal finishing second? Maybe the answer is: nothing | Barney Ronay

Not signing a striker, too many injuries, too intense – the supposed fatal flaws in Mikel Arteta’s team ignore their consistent success

Wow, what an amazing result – kinda mad to say that Haaland's goal woke us up, but that's what happened.

A superb performance from MLS, deserved his goal and fair play Havertz for producing after that 1st half miss.

Nwaneri's goal the icing on a fucking delicious Arsenal cake today! #stayhumble

Well, the last 15 minutes or so was quite pleasant to watch.

Reminds me a bit of the first half blitz against the same opponents a couple of seasons ago.

Fantastic win, @Arsenal

Stakeholder engagement (a la town hall sessions) should be done at the early stages of policymaking.

Not AFTER a policy is decided, passed, and issues about to be implemented. Cos this is FAIT ACCOMPLI, and your belated efforts are nothing more than simply window dressing.

Today, the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) Selangor branch spread some New Year cheer at SJMC's pediatric ward. Seeing the smiles of these young warriors as they received their gifts was truly heartwarming.

Kindness can make all the difference. <3

Commentary 2/2025

社交媒体是一把双刃剑，既能促进交流与学习，也可能成为传播虚假信息和制造分裂的工具。朱克伯格强调减少内容审查是捍卫言论自由的必要代价，但这是否也为虚假信息铺平了道路？当虚假信息能够大行其道，受害程度将不仅是个人，更是整个社会的真相与信任。

At some point we will need to limit the amount of energy we consume. Like…lights off for the Twin Towers after 1am.

Cos the way we’re using energy today is simply unsustainable.
