A little ramble on youth sport and it's delivery. When I talk about obliquity, I mean to get away from the rigid linearity that we continue to embrace. We generally think "we need to build future prospects!" (IE "professionals"). The words steer our beliefs and delivery.

Europe must “persuade younger Europeans that their heritage, culture and way of life — a fundamentally Christian civilization leavened and improved but not erased by the values of the Enlightenment — are worth defending,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

In his speech last night, Trump queried why Nordic countries aren’t clamouring to enter the United States.
The answer is very simple. They view the United States the same way Trump views countries like Somalia.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

A flag with rainbow colours upsets so many precious little muffins out there. Awww, poor little sensitive peoples. Maybe go get a hug from mommy next time, mkay? And show mommy on this teddy bear where the big bad rainbow flag hurt you.

We live in an era of giving bullies what they want and hoping they move on to another target.
Nobody is grasping that the bullies won't stop with one victory and will come back with more.

Deeply upsetting that, at a time when putting *up* flags on lampposts and roundabouts is being argued as patriotic, we’re taking ours down to appease racists, homophobes and transphobes 😔

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I'm not buying the narrative that Xavi wasn't ready to play in the PL until this weekend and/or because of the opponent. In the 4 games he didn't start we were abject. He could not have been much worst than what we trotted out, especially in light of his skill set and our needs.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
