The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled was convincing you that not listening to their ideas was living in an echo chamber and a Very Bad Thing for you.

hows that working out?

Things fans knew about Phil Neville:

• tactically inert, no fresh ideas or philosophy
• as inspiring a leader as a wet paper bag
• will fall out with players/lose the dressing room sooner rather than later
• teams improve when he leaves

Things nepobabies know:

• more than the stupid fans, duh

A fantastic podcast that more people should listen to, even if you don't think LotR is "your thing", they are really funny and make it super accessible.

(and yes they had me on as a guest because I'm a patron but don't listen to that ep because it probably sucks and i never will haha)

I’ve been listening to Sisters of the Shire podcast, hosted by two women, and I’m struck by how they immediately set off the 🚨 for Aredhel and Eöl’s relationship. One of the hosts was coming to the store for the first time and was still like 🚩🚩🚩

Yeah I have no doubt he runs, and the DNC will see him as the safe "rebel" option who says the things they won't and that cuts off any Bernie-ish/left of Bernie candidates and will, like Bernie, ultimately play ball and roll over when told it's never happening for him but he'll be looked after.

Accountability? You want to tally about accountability? You?!

Is it a genuine blind spot you have and no one is taking truth to you, or are you just as shameless a liar as the rest?

Accountability?!?

If i'm politically ambitious or plan to work for a presidential campaign one day, i'd be filling HDs with footage of @govpritzker.illinois.gov posturing about "protecting his citizens" and his goons attacking peaceful protesters.

Either too weak to stop it or he endorses it: both kill his pres run.

44 years old when I finally learned about accessory toe nails and the thing I've been pulling out of my foot for 3 decades

Okay, it's seems like the hysteria has passed and we've returned to normal

Okay, I know I watched the highlights of their qualification and everyone had agreed they were Cape Verde then.

Now, a day later, they are apparently Cabo Verde.

This is Snickers/Marathon, Starburst/Opal Fruits all over again.

I'm sick of it.

That's what I think some of these guys don't get - it's not just a one time gig, you're on the hook for defending SA for the rest of your life or admitting you looked the other way for a bag of money and shatter your persona.
