One of the most magical things about being in a relationship is learning to grow and challenge yourself to really open up your heart and hate one of your partner's coworkers you've never met

Saudi 2034 gets "highest ever score in bidding history" in Fifa's evaluation report. Must be good given the number who will die getting it ready, the fact a major host city remains *unbuilt* and ongoing uncertainty about its timing. If you think they're laughing at you, it probably because they are.

That doesn’t mean we should stop critically analyzing the performances and the squad. It doesn’t mean abandoning our loftiest goals. But somewhere during this period there should be room to admire that we are a very very good team that plays consistently excellent football

Musk has now threatened the leaders of Canada,Brazil, Germany. X helped create a riot in the UK. Now it seems he doesn't want the UK to make its own legal decisions. Time to act?
"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers"

Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.
Elon Musk brands UK a ‘tyrannical police state’

“It’s far more straightforward to blame an abstract “wokeness” than to reckon with the fact that Harris ran a broadly right-of-centre campaign and still lost. It also conjures up a convenient voter, one who is more offended by language than by the promise of mass deportations.”
'The readiness to repudiate identity politics & group them under “bad woke” is less about policy and more about the fact that social justice never really found a home amongst liberals, who were happy to capture its energy but not its demands.'

Best way to sting Trump is ask him, every time he announces a policy or program, if he's gotten Elon's OK for it. Added bonus, Musk gets his citizenship revoked & gets deported.
