They are complicit but also if he was about it, he'd have the fed do this for real. Pathetic effort from all involved.
![Top Gun on ice
by Alex Horne
ON A COLD WINTER'S EVENING - just cold enough for
Peterborough's convenient indoor pond to freeze over - a typical English side consisting of six
Canadians, an American, a Finn, three Brits and a Swede, gave America's best one hell of a beating. I was so proud.
The game started frenetically with a sustained period of confusion that never really relented, fuelled by the continous flow of substitutes to and from the bench. The Blues came close to scoring twice in the opening moments but it was the Air Force's Maverick who grabbed the first with a neat flick into the corner.
Cambridge then stamped their authority onto the game with a really big ice-boot thing, scoring 4 times in quick succession through Per Kallblad, the captain Alex McGuckin and Juha Mutanen, all with their own neat flicks into the corner. It's the only way to score. The game was so fast that I actually missed the fourth goal when I suppose I must have blinked, or gone to get a Mars bar, or something.
The brilliantly incomprehensible team talk at the end of the first period roused the Cambridge side even further and they set up camp in the Americans' penalty area for much of the rest of the game.
Goals then came easily for McGuckin, Juha, Proudfoot and Perrin and the Blues mesmerised even the fish beneath the ice with some crisp passing and fluid skating. Ice Queen Mike Fryer also provided the guaranteed violence of the game, pulling off a triple pirouette (with pike) before slamming into the player with the biggest moustache and screaming "Jester's dead!"
Goals from America's Hollywood and Goose opened the final 20 minutes but Henry 'Spanky Perrin soon calmed things down with one of his own. This inspired the outstanding Juha, who almost certainly would have been on fire if it wasn't so cold, as he brought his personal tally up to six with three thunderous goals in quick succession.

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?

I've really been getting into those Criterion Closet videos recently.
He deserves better.
His treatment by the board was awful.
Spurs were fully safe and went on to win a European trophy despite an injury nightmare.
He'd have seen Spurs right this year.
“What does Igor Tudor do then? He substitutes him, that is going to have ramifications for the rest of his career... He’s absolutely killed his career.”
@Pschmeichel1 on Igor Tudor taking goalkeeper Antonín Kinský off after just 15 minutes 🗣️
Appointing him was an enormous mistake but sacking him isn't. They can't let this continue. Better to act quickly and not compound the error.
Bayer did it with Ten Hag and it has proved a positive decision.
-Recruitment suffered, they tried to bring in new players post-Conte but it was a lot of square pegs in round holes for Ange to work with
-Ange worked a miracle, the club responded by sacking him, recruitment got WORSE, and the club responded by hiring two even worse managers
Year one for sure and clearly whatever he has cooking in Europe.
I genuinely think sacking him was a mistake, it was clear Spurs had injuries, were never close to going down and decided to go all in on Europe.
Shambles at the top, I didn't rate Tudor's appointment but even I'm shocked at this.
Mount?
Ange mate.
I binged season one last night and loved it

The washing machine one you can load up your washing and some machines have a delay function where it will come on in X time. So if you set it wash like an hour before you get home from work, when you get in you can then put the washing on the rack or whatever and away you go.
Republican Senator Tim Sheehy lied, claiming he jumped in to help “deescalate the situation”
In reality, he ran in and grabbed the man’s legs-forcibly trying to drag him out
It looks like Sheehy helped break this Marine’s arm
Just because-like most MAGA-he wanted to silence an opponent’s voice
I don't have to pay a capitalist american company tokens in order to have thoughts.

Pretty wild that every respected academic, investor and software engineer knows and accepts AI is going to *decimate* the employment market
…but political leaders still come out with this stuff.
Its their Cup Final.
He should be. They were dreadful. He's seemed like a mad appointment from the jump and has brought them nothing positive.
After spending Monday and Tuesday learning about using LEGO for work (Lego Serious Play, it seems awesome) I thought I'd kick off my few days of leave with some more LEGO finally putting together this NASCAR Chevy my late Father in Law got me one Crimbo or birthday.
It's such a relaxing time.
almost caught up on the 2025 Le Mans liveries 😌
the Cadillac now joins the Porsche 963 as the car I have the most examples of in my collection (6 of each, across IMSA and WEC)
still have another 4 Cadillacs to add from IMSA (🫠), and there are 3 Porsches that haven't been produced as models
