This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”
"People are being attracted to the right for a whole variety of different reasons ... My message to Labour, and to all politicians, is that you’re not going to change this by just changing immigration policy. Underlying all of this is economic pessimism"

Cato Institute@cato.org · 3w agoHow did you become a libertarian? We sat down with 10 scholars and staff at the Cato Institute—with different origin stories, areas of expertise, and concerns—to find out how they came to libertarianism, what gives them hope, and what they would fix first if they could. https://ow.ly/ObOn50Zp4W9
it’s very funny to believe that you’re headed to eternal paradise, most people are headed to eternal suffering, but while we’re very briefly on this mortal plane we need to be more racist

MARCO RUBIO: “Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.’ IRAN: “Let me explain this in simple English: The United States is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
I think this deserves an airing again. Perhaps it could be updated?

The Bayeux Tapestry is very long. They should shorten the first act, do all the battles as a montage, and give William's character arc closure by having him personally shoot Harold in the eye, resolving the trauma of not being metaphorically "seen" as legitimate by his father.
“If I drive drunk down the road, I can't then say: Tell you what, instead of appearing before a magistrate, I'll stand for councillor instead and let the people of Bermondsey decide if I am innocent. That's not how any of this f*****g works. You don't get to use popularity as a form of acquittal.”

Kate Watson@loreandordure.com · last mo.GP on the BBC this morning parroting the oft-heard “stay indoors between 11 and 3 because the sun is hottest then”. The sun is *most intense* then, that’s the time of day you’re most at risk of sunburn. The hottest part of the day is usually between 4-6. Thinking you’re safer at 5 is daft.
As you boil in the heat, never forget that all those people who for decades have deliberately and maliciously disrupted efforts to tackle climate change are probably sitting comfortable in their large air conditioned houses. Houses funded on the back of lies/misinformation they helped propagate.
No no let's hear it out it's worth considering

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.
That’s the problem with recognising climate change is a scientific reality and then trying to ensure the only biosphere in the known universe remains habitable, it’s just such a downer.

Growing up in Gwynedd, I was made to feel not ‘Welsh enough’. But things have changed – and the Senedd victory shows the politics of exclusion has no answer, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
