It’s amazing the number of people that believe this. I got into a bit of an argument with a colleague about my refusal to travel to the US. It descended into this. I found it so funny that the typical IQ range could be considered as having read a lot of books…

I am always “know your triggers and be aware if you need to not watch the video” but I also think, with the narrative being spun here, as many people seeing the video as possible is important. He may have been armed but that’s not a standoff. It’s an execution.

Really interesting discussion of MCO in this week’s @liberopodcast.bsky.social No mention of the story that Michael Edwards’s condition to coming back to Liverpool was the acquisition of a second club. Malaga & Getafe only clubs I’ve seen rumoured but that’s gone quiet #LFC #YNWA

Look, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.

We are the shithole nation. From Caracas to Greenland to Minneapolis, we are the problem in the world, we are the source of the tragedy, we are the affront to all human dignity. This is the United States now. We are the evil.
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."
“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

My guess is Brennan Johnson. I think 24 is about the right age profile, and he’s been a PL player for a while now. Listed mid-Dec, and he must have known for a while he was moving.
Only question is why you’d need to sell if just going to Palace, but he wouldn’t have known that when listing it.
