‘He massages Trump’s basest instincts’: why is Fifa’s Gianni Infantino cosying up to the US president? For a man who insists football isn’t political, the Fifa boss is putting a lot of effort into into courting the most divisive politician on Earth

Corruption at Fifa used to be the shameless, amateurish activity of men who liked cigars, brandy and five-star hotels. Under Infantino it has been turbocharged with the grotesque aim of making Fifa's president a global statesman.

Visited the Panthéon with my son today, and after the visit we’re pretty sure that Josephine Baker is the greatest St. Louisian ever.

Check out this fat bell!

That looks like you like poutine from LA. I say drop it, Francophonie be damned.

Any man that hates chicken nuggets deserves no mercy. youtu.be/mKwL5G5HbGA?...

My toxic trait is that I think the Ewok Adventure movies should be canon.

"Insider capitalism" for @economist, "corruption" for you and me.

Trump going after drug trafficking is a classic case of someone pulling the ladder up behind them.

I remember being 20 and living in Tarbes while reading the 3 Musketeers for the first time. I even went to Auch and saw the D'Artangnan statue.

Dumas made the French language so accessible to me and was incredibly influential in deciding to pursue a French degree.

He looks like the unformed beta unit from The Last Starfighter. youtu.be/qrvj5dTCtkM?...

Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.

Horrific.

We've got you 👍

I don't think putting all the blame on Lutz would be fair. It's looking more and more like the problems started happening when the GM came on as opposed to the work Lutz did.

I like my toast like I like my fascists… Covered in beans!!!!

The same one that ratted out anti-fascist fighters to Franco?

"even if it's AI, it's at least true" hard to overstate the damage this stuff is doing to people's brains. we're gonna be cleaning the slop out of archives for decades

Obviously, this is loser shit, but I think AI has really cemented itself as the visual language of fascism. It's anti-human, flattened, uninteresting, and cheap. It's like looking at a Potemkin Village and thinking that's the same as architecture.

The end result of seeing people merely as opportunity costs.

This is written by an economics professor at George Mason University. Creepy dude.

As long as the loudest folks on the left insist tone-policing, compromise on human rights, and acquiescence are our only options for a unified country, they will continue to lose the faith of the marginalized. And even when they win, they’ll just be waiting to lose the same way again.

just thinking about the first time i met Dr. Goodall. I was at the Dallas Zoo and ran into her out of the blue. I told her I was a huge fan and I'll never forget her response: "I am not Jane Goodall. I'm not even a woman. Please stop shaking my hand."

that's just how Jane was, incredibly humble.

I’m tired of the debates around the background of shooters.

Be a person that other people know that you care about them.

Burn the gallows and the guillotines and practice mutual aid.

Wearing an FC Richmond jersey to a soccer game is at least the equivalent to being a full kit wanker.
