English Premiership football: pure, unbridled extractivism. Use the power of the hedge fund to pull out the best young player from a storied “big” club. Not even 20. To become “one of your options.” @afcajax.bsky.social The EPL is a vampiric enterprise that sucks the lifeblood of “smaller” leagues.

The UK has seen 40 years of “investment” asset seizure and value extraction “for the market”. There’s shit in the rivers, dysfunctional transport networks and water infrastructure, brutal rent hikes. Unaffordability rules. But yeah, “the spending hungry left.” These people are court jesters…

This is beyond depressing. It’s chilling. I’m assuming that someone in this ‘major Scottish institution’ has actually pre-approved this massive public advert for violence? What has this to do with sport? Embarrassing, worrying, vile. Why is this allowed?

Full throttle energo-nihilism. Still incredible, despite all we know, to see this desire for wanton destruction. In a speech warning about “dark futures.”

A familiar refrain: corporate lobbying for a mass-used product science has proven deathly goes to great lengths to delay its obsolescence by defying and attacking the science, citing the social 'costs' of giving it up. This is a @naomioreskes.bsky.social joint.

The 'controversial gesture' contortion seems unnecessary, no? Why dilute the truth with the 'echoes' of the gesture when the signification is crystal clear *and intended to be* by its perpetrator(s)? Even if that intent is, trollish and cowardly, to be deniable by same perpetrators and fanboys?

Here are some quality sheep I met today at the end of the Taynish Peninsula. Remote. Jura over the water. It was a fierce, freezing blast out there today but these ladies just put their heads up and bodies right into it. Hardy. Tough. Self-sufficient.

How many Extreme Right Internationals are there? Seems like there’s one every week. Hotels must love them. (Also, the leader of the opposition doesn’t believe in acting on climate change).
