Isn't Murica Nepo-tastic?

Listening to the BBC employee trying to dumb everything down to a one line "gotcha!" is excruciating.

Idiocracy personified.

Yes.

It's almost as if Union sets out to make things as staid and boring as possible.

I really don’t understand why Union still has drawn games. Bonkers. Ramp up the tension! Extra time! Sudden death! It’s done for cup games, so why not?

Unlike funding political parties or even voting for Tory leaders.

Clearly your constitution doesn't means jack. It ain't working.

It comes from a billionaire-owned press fomenting sedition.

Leinster Blues?

Yellow and red cards .... yellow with an H in it means the card was awarded when Cardiff were the home team.

You're not thick ... I'm lazy. I should add a better legend.

We don't have access to the data on when penalties are awarded 😔

If you consider it was with a referee who's only twice before ref'd a Cardiff win, the remarkablenessnessness just keeps on rising.

They are petrified of the media

What is more interesting is that the three penalties Cardiff conceded in the game is their (equal) lowest penalty count in their last 425 games (since we started collecting the data).

You make an interesting point - how often are Cardiff on the wrong side of the penalty count? I checked all the games played in the last year ... of the 23 games played, Cardiff were on the wrong side 11 times, on the plus side 11 times and one game was even. Who says refs are biased?🤣

So Anthropic, not known for its ethical boundaries, said no to automated killing and secret military mass surveillance, which was too much for Trump. Can we agree now that the US is not sharing our values and we should decouple from the mass surveillance automated killing team?

What makes Trump's Billionaire Regime in the US so obsessed with Cuba? Is it the life expectancy, the homelessness, the unemployment, the health care, the literacy, the child mortality, the number of doctors, the homicide rate, the malnutrition .... it's a real conundrum!

I've no idea how Leinster got that try either. They were clearly holding on at the ruck .... but SGW is gonna SGW, I suppose.

It's on ewe tube so I didn't have to get up at 5:00am to watch. That said, there was quite a bit of fast forwarding going on.

And you're right. The old CAP would have looked like a rice paddy.

It was good to see the tenacity in the team to hold on when down to 14 ...

Twas a great victory .... and a great chance for Cardiff to build up some momentum in the league, with their next game coming in ...... almost three months time.

What??
