Just can't bring myself to finish Ted Lasso season three. I enjoyed the first season enough, second was adequate but a bit of hard work, then the third was just so earnest, nauseatingly saccharine and most importantly of all, not funny.

RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

Trump vowed to 'bring free speech back.' Judges in 75 cases ruled that he has stifled it
President Donald Trump repeatedly campaigned for his second term as a champion of free expression, vowing in his January 2025 inaugural address to stop what he described as years of "government censorship."

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
No doubt his reputation has been enhanced by many left wing scholars since then, but it is one of the great historical "what ifs" had he led the Soviet Union post Lenin instead of Stalin.
Fascinating visit to the house of Leon Trotsky in Mexico City, where he lived from 1937 until 1940 when he was assassinated at the property. The house and rooms are extremely well preserved, almost frozen in time.

Hours after meeting Zelenskyy and then Netanyahu, Trump betrayed Ukraine again, ordering $400 million in congressionally approved military aid to be delayed until 2029. Since Trump took office, the US has provided little to no actual aid to Ukraine.

Infantino could well be in the running to get the next FIFA peace prize for uniting Europe...
Said it before, but Blatter acted as the Pope of football. He knew everyone wanted to be associated with the most popular game in the world, so let them come to him. Infantino, however, chose, unnecessarily, to be subservient to the worst people in the world because of his neediness and greed.
Good on UEFA and about time too to find a backbone in the fight against Infantino's assault on the game. This should be the end of him but still a lot to do...
