They're pushing for Luigi to be executed too.

The problem is that I suspect that they're not going to do that properly, and instead of supporting the crafting of positive versions of masculinity and turning people's frustrations onto wealth inequality, they're likely just going to lecture them about how not to be incels.

She will for sure but like, what is the alternative really. She's a fucking criminal. At some point we need that line in the sand where we stop giving ground and start actually standing up to these gangsters. Besides, if there's a country in the world you can rely on to not go quietly against government authoritarianism in this day and age, it's France.

She's actually been sentenced to jail? Fucking hell, France rapidly becoming the most ballsy country in the world at this rate, wtf is this timeline.

I'd prefer City to win it. Call me small minded but I feel like Palace or Forest winning the FA Cup will overshadow what we achieved. Even though frankly I think ours was the harder one to win.

This game is gonna be revealing for the rest of the season. We should win, I back us to win - but then I'm going to be saying that in every remaining game this season I feel like.

RTG have decided it's shameful that a crowd about ten times the size of their average attendance turned up today, while simultaneously failing to to comprehend why 300,000 people gathering to celebrate something with a football club made national news. Magedia at it again.

I enjoyed this. It was a bit cheesy, a bit 'local' but the players bought into it, massive turnout, entire city united around the football club. Looks like the stream had 40k watching as well from around the world.. lots of people impressed with the turnout and so on. Positive day for the club, and everyone associated with it.

Musk planning to step down from his role as part of the Trump team by end of May when he anticipates that his team of teenagers will have successfully cut $1tn. Probably also because the cost to him of continuing with this is not small and he's had enough of being on the front lines already.

While I agree, I wish to point out that he's taken more responsibility in those comments than I think I've ever see any political figure manage in any capacity, ever

I think Vance is 100% a cryptobro asset. He worked for Thiel for several years being groomed into what he is and was then sponsored to the tune of $15m dollars by Thiel once again to win his seat in the senate, coming from absolutely nowhere to do so. Trump took him as VP as part of a deal with the cryptobros sponsor his campaign. What Vance otherwise believes changes to fit his needs - it's not long ago he was calling Trump a nazi. He is there only to advance Thiel's agenda, I'm sure of it.

Yes, I get your point but I still think that gives them a little too much power versus reality. The markets need society to be stable as much as governments need the markets to be. If society is in chaos because the government is failing, the markets are going to have a bad time. It's all interdependent IMO. Which was, I might add, my great belief in assuring world peace for the past years. The fact that everyone's markets were interdependent. All of which has now been turned on its head by Trump of course who doesn't give a flying fuck about markets from what we've seen so far. Shows what I know.

Thiel and the cryptobros... they seem completely untouchable at the moment, the new power in US politics. I don't think they get taken down until political power asserts itself over financial power once again.

They might be driving it, but markets aren't actually in active control of anything. They're just dogs chasing cars. Essentially what you mean is, no one is running the country and the entire system is in anarchy.

Speaking as someone who has been right there with you on this front for years and who has complete respect for the view, and agreement in the need... where on earth do you see that coming from? I look at the current landscape and there's just nothing there. For all people can take considerable issue with Momentum and how it went in the end, it was the last genuinely reformative movement that didn't come from the right, and it was crushed by the centre, We were defeated in full. I see nothing anywhere that suggests anyone is remotely prepared to pick up the pieces of that. Again - I am completely with you, but for all my attempts to justify a protest vote against Labour last time out, the reality is that all I achieved was voting for a party (SNP) that honestly aren't a million miles better anyway - and which felt in the end like a very weak gesture that had no point or merit to it. I wish now I'd stuck to just spoiling the ballot - equally as pointless, but more cathartic. The sort of shift we need is probably one that spans borders tbh. It's not going to be a UK only event.

Who cares man Maybe true but it's not about them and almost certainly never will be tbh. Let's enjoy it without give them a second thought.

Genuinely do love this guy. He's what the TrueGeordie should have been. The latter now being a generic youtuber who has inserted himself up Trump's arse.

Think I'd be prepared to accept "like a new signing" to secure him to a new long term deal tbh.

Why are the rest of us still putting up with this shit. Tell him to fuck off, we'll go it alone. Are we really that incapable of standing on our own two feet?

Also it's year one, if they have to do 'bad stuff' now is the time to be doing it. There's a lot of bad stuff, but better now than nearer the next election. I don't think there really are any other options out there, which is what is so depressing about this.

The thing that annoys me a bit in all this is that the reports at the start of the season were that he was pushing us to sign a new deal, and we were dragging our feet because of how long he had left. That does make sense in a way but it's not worked out very well.

He's now asking for all of Ukraine's energy, minerals and natural resources, with no security guarantees...

That looks like the print edition, it was nowhere to be seen on the online one. I'm also going to add, although you'll know this, that they've made the focus on everything other than the cuts which she has, in the small print, been 'forced' to do. It's about tax rises and the economy failing to kick on. In other words it's all selectively critical and ignoring the things that they should be happy about. This supports the what I said - pandering to these people is pointless, none of them actually care about reality.

The reports are that he turned down our first offer of a new contract, though as ever these are just reports rather than anyone seemingly stating fact. We've subsequently shelved it again, perhaps waiting to see where we finish in order to determine what can be offered based on how high we finish. I don't think that's necessarily any great cause for concern, but we'll see I guess.
