Verona Campione

The people of Minnesota should get the Nobel peace prize.

Verona couldn’t cope with him tonight. And yes Zanetti must go!

And upgrade to the Mundial Team

Finally time to hang up the old Samba…

"If you have to love a woman, do it strongly, not forcefully."

Can absolutely agree that the macsweens vegetarian haggis is a noble alternative!

Certainly better than the tinned meat one I had imported a couple of years ago!

The Language of Public Violence; My Conversation with the Anti-Authoritarian Experts of STROIKA US government agents behave like Fascist blackshirts and state security forces in Turkey, Iran, and other autocracies.

"The behavior of ICE and CBP agents reminds me of the Fascist blackshirts who arrived in trucks, armed with clubs, knives, guns, and castor oil, to subjugate towns in early 1920s Italy, before Benito Mussolini declared dictatorship."

Hey MAGA and GOP Republicans - you probably haven’t seen a demonstration of true religious faith before - so here you go:

5. Emiliano 'Ciccio' Mascetti

Bagnoli's Sporting Director and right hand man, 'Ciccio' was a club legend who played 11 season for the club.

When he died in 2022, Joe Jordan was amongst many ex-players who attended his funeral despite the travel restrictions in place.

Jesus [holding a tablet computer]: OK, so - The next one to check in on is… ‘Earth’. God: Spelling? Jesus: E-A-R-T-H. [God types into the computer] tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. Tap. God: F—ing hell. What’s happened here!? We need to complain - get me the manager. Jesus: Uh, well, the most powerful one is… [Jesus turns his iPad round to show God. We can’t see the screen] God: What is that. I mean, it’s been a while but that’s definitely not how I designed them. Are you sure we’ve got the right planet? Jesus: Yes, this is the… top human. God: Off and on it again Jesus: I’ll book the meteor [Ends]

Off and on it

"Bologna saw road accidents fall by 13% and fatalities decline by around 50% in the year after [implementing] a 30 kph speed limit" but "a regional court accepted an appeal by a single taxi driver who argued that lower speeds increased journey times and reduced his earnings" #SafetyOverSpeed

This is the passage in question

One of the hardest parts to write of Rita’s War was a passage that describes the transportation of two little boys from Italy to Auschwitz.

It looked something like this.

“We’ve invented a magic computer. It uses all of the earth’s resources, we’ve spent trillions on it and it’s the sole growth area of the US economy.”

“What does it do?”

“We were hoping you could tell us.”
