9 people injured in Cincinnati mass shooting Nine people were injured in a shooting during an event at a concert venue in Cincinnati early Sunday, March 1.

Nine people were injured when a gunman opened fire at a concert venue this weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio. At least one person is still in critical condition.

Americans deserve to exist in their communities without constant gun violence.

Sorry to say an unholy confluence of events have occurred which is that Brighton have come into form and I am going to that game and whenever I go to the Amex, we lose. Sorry.

Funny how when a narrative really takes off there's no stopping it no matter how far from the truth it is.

Arsenal are excellent at corners and relied on them a lot at the start of the season, no doubt, but that hasn't really been the case for months now.

Putting things like basic ethics aside...

... does anyone really believe that the Home Office, which cant deal with its present asylum responsibilities, is going to be able to review every application, every 30 months?

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

How the BAFTAs Bungled Its Response to a Racial Slur The awards show didn’t mention racist slurs when it told the audience that a man with Tourette’s might make “involuntarily noises.”

The BAFTAs didn’t mention racist slurs when the audience was told that a man with Tourette’s might make “involuntarily noises.” His condition was also not raised in planning discussions, or during backstage preparations that night, according to two people who work with the ceremony’s presenters.

I sort of hoped the all caps would do the 'I'm joking' work for me but seemingly not.

It's pretty bleak when you see a headline and are instantly like 'gonna watch out for cars on pavements the next few weeks then.'

Maybe, just maybe, Ødegaard 'drops too deep' (in the opinions of many) because he (correctly) doesn't trust his team-mates to own such situations.

We’re not living in 1984 we’re living in The Time Machine and the Elois are getting bombed in their shining hotels and having their plastic lips melted off by shrapnel and wondering what happened.

Whenever I watch Bridgerton I think ‘if they gave these guys swords and some kind of apocalyptic war this would be an amazing Fire Emblem show’ 🤣

Yeah tbh I meant this glibly 🤣 but thought if I wrote ‘lol’ it would seem insensitive so I erred on the side of giving the guy way too much credit. But I’d absolutely be anticipating that!

I wonder if Trump’s meta game here is to invite endless mass shootings and terror attacks at the World Cup. I would definitely not be buying a ticket.

Do you like set-pieces? Because the Premier League has them.

Need the same enthusiasm to talk about Raya’s height today, when his agility from being a little smaller saved us multiple times.

If Arsenal do win the Premier League this season, they'll need to have the parade in the Cardiac Care unit because that's where everyone will be.
