it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

🚨 Carragher on Manchester City’s goal against United being given after a VAR check:
🗣️ Carragher: “They’ve checked Haaland and decided he’s onside. Brilliant. Nobody was asking about Haaland.
Look at Enzo Fernandez .
He’s standing offside when the ball comes in. Martinez has to deal with him because he’s right there challenging for the ball. He doesn’t have the luxury of saying, ‘Don’t worry, Enzo is offside, I’ll leave this one.’
He tries to deal with the situation, the ball goes beyond him and it falls to Haaland.
Then VAR comes along, draws the line on Haaland and says goal.
Well done. You’ve proved the man who finished the move was onside. Now perhaps check why the ball reached him.
That’s the bit I don’t understand. If Enzo isn’t standing there, Martinez deals with the cross completely differently. So how can we say he hasn’t affected the play simply because he didn’t touch the football?
By that logic, just stand five yards offside in front of every defender. Don’t touch the ball. Make him deal with you, let it run through to somebody who’s onside and apparently you’ve done nothing.
That’s not football.
Sometimes VAR looks so closely at the final frame that they forget there was a football match happening before it.”
