Spurs currently lead the Premier League (tied w/ City) in muscle injuries. If you were a fan, journalist, or pundit who speculated last season the Ange was causing muscle injuries, please reply here with your theory about why Thomas Frank is causing so many muscle injuries. Thank you.

just have to say I am genuinely tired of hearing the take that Republicans are afraid of Democrats taking power again because “they would go to prison”, like what shred of evidence do you have of any legal accountability from the past decade of lawless nascent-to-full blown fascism?

Australia Day is such bullshit. NSW proclamation day at best. At worst a celebration of the crimes of colonisation.
If you have to acknowledge that the day is a source of pain for many, that’s a damn good sign it’s a shit day to have as your national day.
