Not sure that theyโ€™ve got the hang of clickbait

We concede too many goals and players look tired. Not enough rotation and conceding early is our Achilles heel.

I do feel like today, 8 years later than we thought, is the dawn of real American fascism.

This will echo throughout the world and make the whole place unsafer, in the long run for everyone.

Hard to believe that the next four years (at least) will bring anything other than misery to minorities and riches to his friends and those who turn a blind eye to his misdemeanours.

Trump spent his last presidency and the following four years testing the checks and balances of the American Democratic system.

He realised that he could do anything and has now loaded everything in his favour.

Before the end of the summer window and we wanted to shift him he โ€˜picked up an injuryโ€™. I donโ€™t think he wants the move

Hello #runningpunks

An attempt to get back to running after a few weeks off (the cold weather, the spectre of potential asthma) failed when the treadmill gave up a couple of km in. 20 minutes on the bike instead and then a quick weights session.

And now today Meta have announced that they are going to embark on the same path

AI x Musk x disinformation means that weโ€™re entering a very dangerous era and Iโ€™m not sure how we can fight it

He expresses and reinforces the views of white supremacy. Politicians and the media engage with them as if they are legitimate rather than the poison that they are

You have an app which was previously the best source of up to date and accurate global information now owned by the worldโ€™s richest man, an individual who has been radicalised by the far right and retreated into apartheid era views

These days Iโ€™ll inevitably scroll through the apps on my phone in search of some new or exciting information and instead Iโ€™ll be met by Elon Musk shitting in his hands and clapping or commentators pontificating on his views like theyโ€™re worth consideration

Back home for Christmas and somehow the sheer amount of frozen sausages that my parents have in their freezer always surprises me

Itโ€™s direct, but itโ€™s quite simply a brilliant goal, all 4 players displaying an intelligence and technique weโ€™ve rarely seen at Villa. Man City couldnโ€™t get near us and as soon as Youri played that pass it was only ever going to end one way #avfc
