Greetings to old and new friends/colleagues. Me: a snarky sports lawyer/consultant who also did sports medicine, expert on US college sports, and teacher on risk management in sporting events. We moved to Glasgow with our bonkers dog Nessie and love whisky, languages and travels.

Nasser al Khelaifi nods to Gianni Infantino’s busy Instagram account during his speech at the European Clubs Association general assembly. Says it is like a communications department. Fair to say the actual FIFA Communciations department often also only find out what’s going on through his Insta.

Outstanding piece-please take the time to read it. So many points to quote, this one seems helpful for White America to understand exactly how we got here:

“Authoritarianism is as American as slavery, as internment camps, as police brutality, as voter suppression.”

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

There are reasons to think the claims that Gen Z “doesn’t drink” or even drink less than millennials did at their age aren’t true – it seems to be partly a Covid effect and partly some dodgy stats.

But I could easily believe they drink earlier and go home earlier. Pubs look *quiet* after 9pm now…

Shadow President and man who keeps the mass deportation trains running on time, Stephen Miller, is just fed up with being accurately labeled a fascist and a Nazi. Do not mock his looks, or his height, or the fact that he IS A FASCIST AND A NAZI.

Even a pause in the killing and displacement would be good and I share the cautious optimism that this could end this phase of the catastrophe. But it is wild that people are treating this as if it’s the negotiated end of the Russo-Japanese War, or even Camp David 1978.

This dipshit cleaned toilets in the Navy and got his start in media literally holding up a sign that said “r*pe Melania” at a protest a decade ago to incite a reaction. Most of the people in Trump’s orbit are dogshit, but this guy is particularly malignant and should be nowhere near the White House.

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries.
