Not content with spouting utter crap like a right wing philosopher, #Wenger seems to want to dress like one too.... https://www.football365.com/news/fifa-era-wenger-is-a-grave-disappointment-but-we-should-be-thankful-for-his-blundering-qatar-reminder

I find it a bit rich that the FA have given #IvanToney an 8 months for betting when:
- They've got multimillion sponsorship deals with betting companies
- They give 8 *games* for people who dish out racist abuse
- no punishment for animal cruelty
- rapists get to play regardlessGambling addiction is a disease that needs treating, not a crime that needs punishment.

What I've learned about #academia over these #UCUstrikes is that too many of us (& for sure I'm not immune!) value the "output" of our jobs over our colleagues we do it with.
Sure, we need to enjoy our job and feel it is making a difference; and we want our stuff read and engaged with - it's what gives us our worth. But the chronic alienation of contemporary academic work is a massive factor of the current ills, which we fundamentally need to address.

@olimould
As a #Liverpool fan, I think you'll be safe. According to #Opta, the other three clubs at the bottom have a much higher chance of being relegated.
(Full disclosure: my wife is a #City fan so there's that). -
@mhbastian I'm not this year, but would love to see some content on this hashtag! Get on it #Geographers!

CW: UK politics, Starmer rant
20 points ahead. Does he really need to pitch for extra votes? Or is he revealing his actual politics? #StarmerisaTory #LabourisDead

@olimould what I don't get with these pledges is that if we are credulous enough to believe they have the sills or powers to halve inflation, doesn't that imply thay also had the skill/power to prevent it getting where it is but chose not to? #RatsInASack #LifeInAFailedState

I may have just dreamt this, but I could have sworn I just heard Owen Hargreaves on TNT Sports talking about painting a fence? He's just an inane, uninformed and gratingly monotone commentator, but this was particularly ridiculous, so I must have dreamt it...
-
The community of #Llantwit are staging non-violent protests against racist campaigns. When the far-right are radicalising community gardens and the local knitting club, you know it's serious...
(And fwiw, the BBC putting out something like this after everything? Fair play to them)
-
I thoughts #Friends was very meh, but Perry was always the best about it. But his evisceration of Peter Hitchens on the topic of addiction on Newsnight was his crowning glory.

Turns out trees hold even more carbon that was first thought. Makes it even more depressing to see hundreds of trees felled for new road developments. #SaveOurTrees

Tell you what, England have been absolutely sparkling in this game

Maps! Information Design. Reminds me of Paul Goodman's advice for Making #PacifistFilms

Finished #TheExpanse books finally last night after ploughing through them for the last 12 months or so.
If you're into massive space operas and #scifi epics, they are amazing. The ending was perfect and a fitting tribute to the Roci and it's crew.
For sheer scale, the best #scifi series I've read (and I've read my fair share, only really just pipping the #Teixcalaan duology by the wonderful @ArkadyMartine).

Bo-Katan’s hair is always perfect when she removes her helmet in #TheMandolorian. Even as a baldy, I can tell that’s totally unrealistic…

The Queen had many an offshore account and then tried to change the law that exposed it.
A sucker is born every minute.

I see those #Pixel8 adverts a lot, and I'll admit to being totally freaked out by the 'best take' feature. I wrote why here:

Just so I’m clear, Isreal calls a ceasefire (some good news for sure) but explicitly say they’ll regroup and continue after because Hamas needs to be wiped out. But calling for a ceasefire in the Commons before was not good because it’ll allow Hamas to regroup? #Starmer and his arguments looking VERY thin right now…

RIP #Vialli, I'm genuinely gutted about this one.
He was a fantastic footballer, and one of the first real foreign superstars on the Premier League I remember. Always seemed like a likeable chap and 58 is way to young to leave us.

CW: Seatbeltgate
Before we get the "it's just a seatbelt, not a big deal" arguments, remember that the video would have gone through multiple people, committees and obviously #Sunak himself to check and recheck. And clearly, no-one at any stage said "hang on, you're not wearing a seatbelt, maybe we should reshoot".
That should tell you all you need to know about the kind of people he surrounds himself with. #SeatbeltSunak

CW: UK Politics
Don't get me wrong, the devolutionary ideas that it points towards (which seem to be borrowed from Brown's "Renewing our Democracy and Rebuilding our Economy" report) are important to achieving #subsidiarity, but aping Tory slogans in an attempt to pander to the lowest common denominator is a dick move.

I didn't realise it then, but #SlabCity in the US - which I was lucky enough to visit earlier this year (see video) - is chock full of #SolarPunk aesthetics and politics
-
Thinking back to my time in #SlabCity a few weeks ago, and while it was hot, sweaty and people had some questionable views about chem trails, it was still preferable to having to partake in the #capitalist grind of HE and the trials of #UCUrising. Take me back to the desert!
-
Thoroughly enjoyed my trip to #SlabCity. The people were welcoming and friendly, the use of folk art as #anticapitalist and #anarchist aesthetics and politics was breath-taking. If only it wasn’t so damn hot!!
-
This documentary on #SlabCity in California is great, and packs a surprising emotional punch.
Yes I know it's Ben Fogle, but he does a good job of outlining the richness of #anarchist communes without actually using the word #anarchy once.

San Marino win only their second match in history, and their first for 20 years. Forget the prem, this is the beauty of football

Spotted near #Aldershot, a hand-drawn @JustStopOil poster in a kids bedroom window! The future may not be so gloomy after all…
