My kids are going to hate me when they get older. I just told my 8 y/o that “the first rule of art supplies is put them away when you’re done.”

Had the same thought. But they’ll get away with a slap on the wrist again.

Forest out to beat our record of simultaneous managers being paid not to manage the club. 😂😂

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.”

1. I think most liberals are probably familiar with one part of what has become known as Wilhoit’s Law – that the true goals of the right are inequality, injustice, repression and control. This is how composer Frank Wilhoit put it in 2018:

He was cut by Liverpool as an 11 y/o before moving to EFC’s academy

😂😂😂

This is soul-crushing.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

We need prosecutions for political murders — that’s ultimately what these are — and truth and reconciliation commissions.

This is a fascist terror campaign against the people of Minnesota. As with J6, no one involved should be allowed near a badge or a political office ever again.

He’s struggling to stand back up after being pistol-whipped while on the ground.

At my first show of the year…Sick Move, American Television, Luxury Teeth, and Celebration Summer at Metro Gallery in Baltimore. The new job is likely going to mean fewer shows, so I’m making this one count.

Grealish out for 3 months. Back in time to score the winner in the derby. #Everton #EFC #UTFT #COYB

Up the Toffees! #Everton #EFC #UTFT #COYB What an away win, and Pickford was immense.

That entire piece is insane. None of it makes any sense.

And this was the reporter whose home was searched by the FBI this morning.

I know. Wishful thinking for sure.

Evidently, we’ve needed seven summer windows to buy starting right back.

And apportion 1 Senator for every four reps (minimum two per state).

Myko’s performance was pretty typical. McNeil not doing much of anything meant there was no cover/rotation, so he was stranded. Aznou probably shouldn’t get his first PL minutes by starting. But starting Keane and McNeil on Wednesday would be managerial malpractice.

Keane makes Tark look bad because he has to cover so much. Tark looked way better with KOB next to him.

Those are faraday curtains.

Twitter thread in Spanish by José Mario de la Garza, a human rights lawyer in Mexico, translated using Google Translate: 1. Overthrowing a dictator sounds morally right. No one mourns a tyrant. But international law wasn't built to protect the good, but to restrain the powerful. That's why it prohibits force almost without exception: not because it ignores injustice, but because it knows that if each country decides whom to "liberate" by force, the world reverts to the law of the strongest. 2. The problem is not Maduro. The problem is the precedent. When military force is used to change governments without clear rules, sovereignty ceases to be a limit and becomes an obstacle. Today it is “overthrowing a dictator”; tomorrow it will be “correcting an election,” “protecting interests,” “restoring order.” The law does not absolve dictatorships, but neither does it legitimize unilateral crusades.

Cont’d: 3. The uncomfortable question is not whether a tyrant deserves to fall, but who decides when and how. Because history teaches something brutal: removing a dictator is easy; building justice afterward is not. And when legality is broken in the name of good, what almost always follows is not freedom, but chaos, violence, and new victims. The law exists to remind us of this, even when it makes us uncomfortable.

Maduro isn't the problem: he's the face of the problem. Removing him from power would be merely opening the door. Behind him is the machine: Rodríguez, Cabello, the military command, the operators of repression and plunder. If you only change the person at the top and leave the system intact, what follows isn't democracy: it's a reshuffling. And there's something even more difficult: Chavismo didn't just capture institutions, it captured daily life. Economy, media, bureaucracy, employment, fear, favors, blackmail. A country can't be "de-Chavistaized" by decree or by an electoral miracle. The real transition begins when that network is broken without setting the country ablaze. The challenge is enormous, and it's also a moral one: to unite without vengeance, but without impunity. Targeted justice for those most responsible, truth for the victims, guarantees that the rest will dismantle the system, and a plan for people to live again—not just survive. Because freedom doesn't come with a new president: it comes when the state ceases to be a threat.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Empty bottles of 2013 Lillian Syrah, 2019 Cayuse Impulsivo Tempranillo, and 1995 Seven Hills Klipsun Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

1995 Seven Hills Klipsun Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Celebrated my last day at my (now former) job with some big guns. The Lillian and Cayuse were amazing as always, but the 1995 Seven Hills Klipsun Vineyard Cabernet absolutely stole the show.

My timeline right now is something.

Honestly should have been included in the original loan terms. Sounds like we had to negotiate a bit to get it done. I hope Preston doesn’t drop too many points without him. I’ve always appreciated their history, and it would be pretty cool to see them back in the first division.

I thought it was a joke at first, but it makes a huge amount of sense. Five league matches plus a cup tie, gives us some breathing room during AFCON, and then by the end of the month, Ndaiye and Gana back, KDH and Alcaraz don’t have to be rushed, and he slots back in at Preston for their last 16.

I’d wager he’s here until deadline day, when we send him back to Preston.

😂😂😂

We could recall him and then send him back on 1/30. That gets us through most of AFCON.
