World Cup VAR is horrible. It’s the Palantir-ization of football. Instead of human judgment being the arbiter of fairness, it makes sport an extension of a surveillance state where machines make decisions so no one is accountable. Colombia losing a goal to a PS2 pixelated toe is a fucking absurdity.
i think i finally understand what VAR is, which is a new way to fuck up calls?
happy 8th birthday to my Britney Spears, dragon, and anchovy obsessed daughter, I love you, you’re a delightful freak xo

Rebranding a hallucination as a ‘critical confabulation’ that can fill archival gaps is a big no from me.
Correct answer is Donny Hathaway’s Jealous Guy
Name your fav cover song.
Barrambin is sacred Aboriginal land, and it is being destroyed and the rightful owners dispossessed for the Olympics, a destructive, expensive, pointless exercise that no one bloody wants. No stadiums in Barrambin, no Olympics in Magan-djin at all.
Come down to Barrambin and the Goori Camp Embassy and tell BCC and the QLD gov to take their Olympics and shove it. They have had to bypass 15+ pieces of legislation and Aboriginal cultural heritage protections to approve these stadiums. They made a park freehold & handed it over #qldpol #auspol
