I don't watch much sport but the one sport I do watch is football (or soccer, if you must).

since I'm in a spicy mood today apparently, my next thought is that if Alberta separatists want to be part of the US, then the border is right there.
please fuck off and don't come back.

also I know that "money and opportunity" is a big one, but at which point do the negatives outweigh the positives?

genuine question: at this point, why are people - with a choice - still trying to immigrate to the US?
like I get it for folks who are already there, or have family ties and such, but everything else considered why would anyone choose the US if they had any other options?

I'd hate to be a boat owner after this passes.
Imagine all the information that could be be useful for your navigation but which would ALSO be potentially useful to those guiding small boats across the Channel.
Will the Shipping Forecast cease broadcasting? That, after all, makes crossings easier.

Now that all the chickens are coming home to roost & lawsuits are starting to fly, the ag players are *blaming* Amazon.
In the hopes that Amazon will have to pay out for those lawsuits instead of them.
And they can keep on doing what they've always been doing!

also not only did the Argentinians start an entirely unnecessary war that got a bunch of folks killed, they also ensured Maggie Thatcher got re-elected and quite frankly that is unforgivable.
you'll never convince me that the Falklands are anything other than British.
every time Argentineans post their little crybully rants about the Falklands it's a reminder of the mentality that resulted in their incompetent fascist junta getting hundreds of their own conscript soldiers killed in an unprovoked invasion.

Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

don't ask me why I'm doing this on a friday night - the answer is I'm old and boring - but with a combination of stubbornness and ChatGPT I've managed to get the front panel from an old cable box to bend to my will.

honestly refreshing to see this type of organic stupidity completely removed from politics. just a horribly dumb take from a 20-something without the foggiest comprehension of back issues
Bitch what the fuck?!

I find it bitterly funny that people more toward the left, who ridiculed liberals as being like “better things aren’t possible,” are now the ones sad sacking their way through this moment, being like “I don’t like it when people say we’re going to win.” Have some self respect.

it's impossible to post this kind of thing without Americans going "well actually..."
the fact that your government can have a pissing match that results in government employees not getting paid is fucked. accept that it's fucked rather than "well actually"ing about it.
