The metaphor of “empire” - associated with exploitation, appropriation of profits, control and non-accountability - is particularly apt and @karenhao.bsky.social peels back the layers behind OpenAI’s self-serving modern take on the white man’s burden 💙📚

After that incredible piece of defending I now propose that Slot give Chiesa a run as LB or RB. I will not be taking any questions 🤌🤭 #LFC

I don’t think #LFC played that badly tbh but some players were subpar. We had moments of incision where a better decision could’ve resulted in something
Happy for Wirtz and hope it gives him confidence going forward!

To be fair our chaps have also played poorly. Dom and Isak have been subpar and Robbo offers little from LB. Even Ali with his kicking #LFC

This is the crux of the bargain white ppl made voting for trump & the gop. "Rid us of brown ppl & make white ppl the majority again & we will sacrifice our jobs, savings, homes, and even children." They 💯 factored in those losses & decided it was worth it. That's why nothing else he does matters

9 defeats in 13 games is a wild run of form right now.
I said at the start of the year - too much change = transition year and that tends to always be bad.
Ideally you want to phase out older players and phase in replacements over a period of 6-12 months. Robbo & Fabinho are probably perfect

Ok but not like that Cody 😅 #LFC
I feel like when our midfielders break through the middle - which is pretty great play that I’m glad to see is happening quite often - it might be worth taking a shot from just outside the box, with our attackers rushing in in any case to pounce on possible rebounds #LFC

It seems when it comes to fighting narco-traffickers, Trump’s policy is death for the little guy and special treatment for the elites.

How does one stay calm in a situation like this? 🤣
calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for
