Current mood

I do think that at some point you can only hold out peaceable relationship by confronting an obstacle honestly and not pretending a resolution

Well said!

This one only comes out by prayer

Could it be that giving up on alternative visions of how information could be organized because the imagined user expects AI now is part of the strategy of making sure access to information always costs $$$/month for somebody?

Honestly, I'm with Mo Salah. I'd prefer they work it out in house, but I don't like that he's taking this heat for what does seem like mismanagement. It's not like players starting ahead of him have been better. Don't underestimate media resentment that he doesn't do many of their tedious interviews

Well done Jeremy!

Fwiw, the EFC has done an excellent job of explaining and presenting concerns in a careful and non-partisan manner:

I'm gonna need help understanding religious opposition to Canadian Bill-C9 (which amends laws on 'incitement to hatred'). Even IF an amendment repeals the so-called religious exemption, given the following definition of hatred, so what?

Buster from the tv show ‘Arrested Development’ holding an arm full of plushies while he looks at his mother Lucille, saying, “these are my awards, mother, from FIFA.“

Who has made this 🤣

I think it's a guy who feels his days are numbered at the club and he has earned the right to tell us he didn't want this but it could be his last home game.

But what Salah said is that he doesn't know why he isn't playing and that he doesn't have a relationship with the manager. Maybe Slot's style is to be more distant but that is still on him. Even if Salah's been poor, it's not like someone's been better.

Underperforming ex-Bruin who gets commentator bias

Well, I dislike Kane and DeBrusk at almost Messier levels

This is so disgusting.

Infantino's such an idiot to keep putting himself on the FIFA stage. Every time I see him I have to hold back my gag reflex and reconsider boycotting my favourite world event.

It's Messier-era bad

It's easy for players and managers to say fan loyalty is truest when they're tanking -- but we're the ones who ride or die our whole lives, pay their meal tickets, and sometimes just need a mental health break

If we whittle down faculties and compete for online students we will just consolidate education into a few content providers until all scholarship is done by a handfull of profs and a bunch of bestseller-chasing influencers. The last to notice will be churches who haven't valued education in years.

Easily the Bill Murray Christmas special

Pretty much what we watched today

I actually think Trump would be a funny guy if he wasn't maximum evil with maximum power

Thinking about the 1936 Olympics

Calling Infantino a clown is a true offence against clowns at this point

We live in a farce

FIFA: uniting the world in cringe

There are birthday party magicians who would put on a better show than the FIFA president, and most of them probably aren't wickedly corrupt.

Simultaneously excited for the World Cup draw and disgusted by everything FIFA.

Grateful to Lee Beach for having me in to his MacDiv class today to teach about (against) nationalism
