When people deliberately use their craft to stoke and fuel division, hate, attract criticism, and do so in full knowledge they're making the world a worse place, it's astonishing that people think we shouldn't consider, or indeed speak, ill of those individuals when they're no longer around.

Look, I’m a soccer casual and will ultimately defer to the diehards on this one. But as someone who only watches the big matches I do find this outrage baffling. The game stops all the time: for injuries, for reviews, to yell at the referee. This doesn’t strike me as a major disruption in context.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2mo agoFrom @theathleticfc.bsky.social: We asked readers what they think of the two three-minute hydration breaks in each World Cup game. Most of them find these breaks problematic and think they interrupt the flow of a match.

@sport.theguardian.com Just read and interesting stat... Arsenal and Atleti are the two teams to have played the most matches in the European Cup/CL without winning the competition. 223 and 190 games respectively. Yikes.

Anyone recommend a good book giving an overview of 21st Century cinema? Something like Mark Cousin's The Story of Film for this century? @rufustsuperfly.bsky.social
