*whispers* actually the national anthem has no relation to sports whatsoever and there’s no reason to play it before every game

Now that’s a stat
Ryan Gravenberch assisting Virgil van Dijk is only the second ever World Cup goal scored and assisted by a Liverpool player, after Ian Callaghan assisted Roger Hunt for England against France in 1966.

i can’t believe how stupid you’d have to be to read this and believe or agree with any of it—let alone believe stephen miller believes any of it
These monstrous wind farms—every one of which exists solely based on federal subsidy—are a visual assault on God’s creation that weaken the grid, disrupt marine ecosystems, and force reliance on foreign fuel when have near-limitless reserves of our own.

how is the jig not immediately up when he posts “wind farms force reliance on foreign oil”? how does a single person who sees this post not immediately realize how galactically stupid he must think his followers are?

There’s a part in the book White Noise where the characters talk about losing their identity once they’ve aged out of being the primary demo for advertisements and marketing.I think about that every time I see nostalgia porn videos because they’re always just ads for old products
It's rare that AI video makes me feel any emotion. But these "nostalgiamaxxing videos" really do capture what it's like to grow up in the 90's Credit: homeforchristmasofficial

Dan Campbell says Brian Branch has not suffered any setbacks, but he didn't sound optimistic about his chances of being ready for training camp. Jokingly set the timeline at December so the media doesn't have to keep asking.

It’s the far right, it’s the media, it’s the immediacy of camera phones and social media, but a big part of it is mainstream party politicians’ craven cowardice in failing to stand up to the whole ‘legitimate concerns’ narrative & instead buckling & conceding every point.
It is not just the far right. It is the media themselves, including the so-called progressive ones. Violence in Britain has fallen 83% since the mid-1990s. Burglary 86.6%. Vehicle theft 86.4%. ONS, Crime Survey for England and Wales, forty years of data. 89.5% of prisoners serving for violence against the person are British nationals. 89.4% for sexual offences. 73% of the prison population is white. Convictions by ethnicity are 84% white, matching population share almost exactly. Violence is the largest arrest category at 47%, and the MOJ confirms this is "broadly consistent across ethnic groups". The disproportionality is in drug offences and weapons possession, not violent crime. The Oxford Migration Observatory found that controlling for age and sex, foreign nationals are underrepresented in prison: 3,193 fewer than demographics predict. The LSE found "the increase over time in offending is much stronger among the British than the Foreigners. Indeed there is essentially no change in the violent incarceration rate of foreigners over the whole period in spite of the two large immigrant waves that occurred". A study of 55 countries over three decades (Journal of Economic Perspectives) found no correlation between immigration and crime. Homicide fell by a third globally from 1990 to 2019 while the immigrant population grew by two thirds. A separate analysis of 216 regions across 23 European countries found "no significant link between immigration levels and crime rates". Yet the public believes the opposite. A MORI survey found the British public believed 23% of the population was foreign born. At the time, the actual figure was around one in nine. The public perceives the most negative impact of immigration to be crime. The data says foreign nationals are underrepresented in violent crime. That gap is not an accident. It is a product. Violent crime is over 60% of tabloid crime coverage despite being 20% of reported crime. An analysis of 402,819 articles found the immigration-crime link in public perception exists because of selective coverage and breaks when native criminality is given equivalent prominence. Arendt (2010) found over-representation of "foreign crime" articles directly led to readers overestimating foreign offenders. Blinder and Jeannet (2017, British Journal of Political Science) showed media depictions directly affect the accuracy of British public perceptions. The Erasmus study found coverage "disproportionately focused on crimes involving immigrants, fueling misconceptions even when data showed no substantial increase". A CEPR study found this coverage directly increased populist voting by 5%. And it is not just the tabloids. Conservative papers focus on immigrant crime. Liberal and progressive papers focus on "group-related problems". Both frame immigration through threat. A study of 40,000 articles found systematic bias against Muslims across UK media. The BBC, Sky, ITV, the Times, the Guardian: they all amplify crime when the perpetrator is an immigrant or non-white, not because it is more common, but because it is more engaging. A domestic murder in Sunderland does not get 3.4 million views. A white British man who commits one of the nine out of ten violent offences in this country does not trend. The result: a population that believes crime is rising when it has collapsed, believes immigrants are dangerous when they are statistically less so, and believes the country was safer decades ago when every dataset says the opposite. The far right did not build this machine. The media did. The far right just learned how to drive it.

“Within two minutes we were able to get ChatGPT to tell us how we can cut ourselves safely. Within 65 minutes it was giving us a full personalised suicide plan and drafting suicide notes for our family and friends.” This evil hallucination software shouldn’t be anywhere near kids
Keir Starmer has announced that AI tutors will be rolled out to 450,000 children on free school meals to close the attainment gap. Speaking at London Tech Week, the PM also announced the government's new AI jobseeking tool.

Tom Brady has never been on a practice squad. I have. Sure, Brady was picked 199th, but he was always on an active roster. I went undrafted and had to use a practice squad spot to prove myself. Brady’s work ethic is second to none, but that doesn’t mean he gets to call out the players who are still fighting for their chance. Sure, there’s good money on the practice squad, but do the fans know your name? If you’ve made it to the NFL, it was never about the money, it was about running out of the tunnel and representing your team on the biggest stage. Tom, you got this one wrong! #NFL #PracticeSquad #TomBrady #Raiders #Lions

not sure whether it’s more embarrassing for guys like this to be this stupid, or for all of us that anyone pays any attention to them at all
This is unnecessary and intentionally signaling Trans. They know what they’re doing. Once you notice bisexual lighting being used, you can not unsee it. This is intentional. I will not be gaslit.

This is an absolute bullshit take on all accounts.
NFL practice squad players earn $234K a year to never play a game. Brady says a lot of them prefer it that way. $13,000 a week. Same facilities, same planes, same meals as the active roster. Super Bowl ring if the team wins. And zero risk of failing on national television. Brady watched this for 20 years and realized many practice squad players had already reached the exact outcome they wanted. The active roster pays $840,000 minimum, three and a half times more. But it comes with something most people underestimate: public, measurable, weekly accountability. Drop a pass in the fourth quarter and 70,000 people watched it happen. When practice squad players got promoted into that pressure, they crumbled. Same arms, same legs, same speed. Their talent survived the jump. Their appetite for judgment didn't. The $606,000 gap between practice squad and active roster is the annual price of pressure-avoidance. Enough NFL players pay it voluntarily that a seven-time Super Bowl champion noticed a pattern. Every evaluation system on earth measures people when nothing is on the line.

Was doing a little research and stumbled upon this. (The Saints still haven't traded down since). If y'all thought I was annoying about Brad Holmes' lack of trade downs, just be thankful we're not Saints fans, because I would be unbearable.
this is insane!! the last time Saints GM Mickey Loomis traded down in the NFL Draft, the iPhone wasn't even invented he hasn't traded down ONCE since 2007 his trade record since then: 27 trade ups 0 trade downs

I asked Dan Campbell if there was anyone who impressed through the first 2 days of OTAs. He said he's done hyping up pajama parties in May, but says he believes there will be more competition than ever here.
