Exaaaaaactly.

I don’t know much about her politics other than an Instagram post that was anti-Trump, but she’s never been very politically active from what I’ve seen

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border

In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

The anti-Black stuff is pretty clear throughout, but “I’m not a bad bitch, and I’m not a savage” extremely on the nose. Frankly the whole Cancelled song makes the ideology of the thing wildly clear and weird as hell

She did yeah, the homophobia isn’t discussed a lot bc it’s not targeted at a queer woman, but her diss track on charli xcx is basically “you’re obsessed with me you’re in love with me” & then there’s a line about being wet? It’s v weird/juvenile— the hate is couched in the mere idea of attraction

My conspiracy theory is that I think Taylor Swift made a right-wing album with homophobic and anti-Black undertones bc she wanted the discourse points/someone on her team talked about “engagement as value,” but no one understood that the bad writing would be front and center

I think there have also been periods where we’ve looked quite dangerous, though I worry that specific individuals aren’t linking up + some decisions around subs and shape feels weird and unproductive — I don’t think the positional changes help the team

Only thing that makes sense but I wish he’d gone for Gomez and left Grav in the midfield

In comparison, Arsenal have dropped points against two of the three teams they’ve played currently sitting in the top half, only beating Manchester United on the first day — a victory that wasn’t quite deserved against a team very much struggling.

Sad times but I’ll take being a point off top given the aways and opposition. Only Burnley harder than expected, we still have to face eight of the bottom 10 sides at this juncture — and Newcastle away counts for one of those 10 as well.

Not being funny but Jones in from the start instead of Mac Allister and I think we get at least a point. If Konaté wasn’t brought off for injury or fitness-related reasons I’ve got serious questions.

Defensive structure horrible, entire line miles off where they should have been

Salah gets his shirt virtually ripped off his back - play on

Salah nudged into defender - free kick to defender

Rinse and repeat every week

Mac Allister relatively poor today but did largely fix the issues with his decision-making in the press that was most notable in the conceded goal. Relatively poor but also possibly one of his better performances this season somewhat worrying but also an okay place to be pre-international break? Idk

Brushed the ball while going through the player not a foul in Anthony’s world, getting the ball and missing the player entirely is a yellow card

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

“[t]he freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.”

Absolute non-foul almost leading to a goal was fundamentally predictable lmao

That’s such a joke of a yellow card. What do you mean? What have you thought you’ve seen? Goodness me

Looking at that in slo-mo, 100% intentional though think he was trying to set it up for himself
