Is there not an asymmetry between denial of goal saving (since goal just disallowed for any foul) and denial of goal scoring (we don't give a goal as a football equivalent of rugby's penalty try) so only the latter needs extra punishment

yet another data point for "the standard case for pragmatic electoral moderation would be more compelling if people stopped insisting that transgender issues are an electoral problem for Democrats"
Fox News Poll: The Republican Party is seen as better able to handle border security, national security, and immigration. The Democratic Party is favored on transgender issues, healthcare, vaccines, helping the middle class, and affordability.

I love Starmerism, it's like "Uh no this guy can't be an MP because people like him. Only people everyone hates can be in Labour." It is so cool and smart.
NEW: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group was 8-1 against him.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.
