Five games ago, Arsenal went in to the Everton match second in the league a point behind City. They're now six points clear of the chasing pack.
In that time they have taken 13 points from five PL games where last season they took just four from the equivalent fixtures.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I woke up to see the news. I am aghast.
I can't believe the FIFA peace prize has been disrespected like this. Is nothing sacred anymore?

The idea that autistic people lack empathy is still depressingly prevalent, partly because people conflate 'caring about other humans' wellbeing & wanting them to be happy' with 'reliably able to infer a stranger's motivation & emotional state based off observing a few external nonverbal clues'.

I was teaching the history of racial discrimination in housing in Britain 1958-1981 to my wonderful cohort of 3rd year undergraduates.
I showed them an example of the "no Irish, no Blacks, no Dogs" sign, and got the genuine question of why anti- Irish sentiment existed in 20thC Britain.

Lots of British racists don’t really consider Eastern Europeans to be white. If you go back a ways in UK history you get people considering Irish as not quite white
