All the nonsense I can read online and this one has annoyed me most today.

One of my favourite albums.
E-Bow the Letter probably my favourite track on it but New Test Leper, Leave and Electrolite could all be favourite if you asked me another day.

Never thought I'd say it but I almost miss Sepp Blatter running FIFA.
So, there’s a new Panini album for the Club World Cup, and there’s a collectible gold sticker for a mystery star striker, guess who it is? You’ll probably not be surprised. 🙄
There’s a type of neediness to some of this behaviour that is hard to explain.

Oh and to add - Man Utd are utterly dreadful. Looks like a club with no idea what they're doing and where they're going

It wasn't pretty but after watching Redknapp and Poch's teams be full of great players and great football yet win nothing, today I don't care how we played today.
We won! That's all we needed.

It's been a terrible season, I don't rate the manager and with exception of a few, the players aren't good enough or have underperformed this season.
Also it's Spurs so they always let me down.
Yet I'm convinced we're winning tonight!

This is literally the Simpsons joke where the Simpsons have to save money and Bart says he's taking up smoking and then immediately says he's quitting, and claims he just saved the family thousands.
Except real life, and more of our real-world reputation torched.

Can #Spurs please sack Postecoglu now? Moans for months about injuries yet here we are with nearly everyone fit and the terrible performances continue.
Results and style of play are awful but he continues to just keep doing the same thing

Fuck off McMahons. Bad enough all the horrible things they've got away with in their company and now this.
SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education.
I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”.
Here is a portion:
I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”.
Here is a portion:
![After President Trump's inauguration last month, he has steadily signed a slate of executive orders to keep these education promises: combatting critical race theory, DEl, gender ideology extremism, and discrimination in admissions. President Trump has also been focused on eliminating wasteful bureaucracy and harmful programs in the federal government. To that end, today he signed [Executive Order XYZ, entitled "Eliminating the Department of Education,] which has given us a clear and final mission.
We are to identify which of the Department's functions, programs, and offices are not mandated by statute, and eliminate them. This reorganization will impact staff, budgets, reporting, and more —and in coming months, we will determine how it can be accomplished with minimal delay and disruption. The President further tasked us with creating a plan to reallocate and reassign functions of the Department of Education that would be more effectively managed by other agencies. This plan will offer Congress a road map toward fulfilling the expectations of the President and the American people.
The new vision—which I hope each of you will embrace going forward—can be expressed as four main convictions:
Parents are the primary decision makers in their children's education.
Students deserve to be protected from physical violence, racial discrimination, medical tyranny, and gender extremism ideology on campus.
Postsecondary education should be a path to a well-paying career aligned with workforce needs.
Taxpayer-funded education should refocus on meaningful learning: proficiency in math, reading, and core subjects, and patriotism in American history and civics.
As we move to reduce the Department's middleman role in education, these four convictions must guide us toward conscientious and pragmatic action. The elimination of bureaucracy should free us, not limit us, in our pursuit of these goals
Removing red tape and bureaucratic barriers will empower parents to make th](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreictcxubqhd7foyjwbms62bj3cxmfyepqk2ms3l6ctabsa6fvpm5ju@jpeg)

Only watched the last 2 matches of NJPW New Beginning - both excellent. Wasn't a big Goto fan when I first started watching NJPW but his matches first in Bishamon and in the last year in singles won me over. Great feel good moment with him winning the World Title finally.
