Nathan De Cat is a top prospect. Despite being the most obvious figure on any pitch, he plays with a disguise that belongs at the highest level. I broke down one of his performances to show why the European giants are already after him.

If you use Firefox, and weren't aware, there's now AI stuff baked in.
'Remove chatbot' gets rid of it, but no doubt it's lurking under the hood somewhere.
It's quite mad how the tech companies force this stuff on us when nobody has asked for it.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

AI-generated nazi and racist songs are "flooding" Spotify.
There are many alternatives to Spotify, which offer just as much choice (in better audio quality) and reward musicians more fairly. Buying physical albums and CDs? Even better.

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

The right in the UK are consciously engaged in a process of trying to redefine racism in ever narrower terms so that anything short of burning black people out of their homes doesn't count.

Re-watching the Arsenal Vs Atletico on Prime Vision and jesus the passing options are truly terrible. I'd love to understand how they are calculated as they're barely ever right. Also it's just horrible having all the stuff on the screen as well.
