@DrewGarrison Yea but they shouldn’t have drafted him in the first place. So they’ve been stuck with a one trick pony for over half a decade. Not much of a threat if it’s a dead giveaway he’s gonna block any time he’s on the field. Good blocker but still.

@FantasyGalaxies Unpopular opinion but his exile and unwillingness to connect with other exiled Jedi is a weak move. Never understood why people said Yoda was so powerful when he was content to hide in the swamp for decades .

Joe Burrow on the 10 things he can’t live without:

10. Water Bottle: “Always gotta stay hydrated. I'm working out quite a long time throughout the day so you gotta stay hydrated. Make sure you're getting the nutrients that you need to perform to your highest level.”

[Bengals Brasil @CincyBengalsBR]

Segundo Katie Blackburn, a possibilidade de uma reestruturação do contrato de Joe Burrow foi levantada pela própria equipe do QB, que deixou claro estar aberto a conversas sobre o tema.

“Eles apenas reconheceram que essa possibilidade existe. É algo que poderíamos usar, se considerássemos apropriado. Internamente, existe um bom nível de conforto e confiança na comunicação com o Joe. Externamente, as coisas podem acabar sendo interpretadas de forma diferente. Houve conversas com ele, e ele sempre foi muito fácil de se comunicar. São diálogos produtivos e, certamente, sem qualquer tipo de tensão.”

Joe Burrow revelou que ganhou o apelido “Shady” de um técnico no acampamento do ensino médio:

“Então, eu tenho olhos azuis, e quando era criança eu fui pro acampamento de futebol no ensino médio e eu fazia tudo com óculos escuros, porque meus olhos eram muito sensíveis à luz. Eu era a única criança com óculos escuros e Sam Smathers, nosso treinador, me deu o apelido de 'Shady', e desde então eu uso óculos escuros, tanto porque acho que ficam legais, tanto porque meus olhos são sensíveis.”

🔥 Jeremy Clarkson had a fiery clash with BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire at the farmers’ protest against Reeves’ inheritance tax raid on family farms.

Victoria went straight for the gotcha:

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

Clarkson, visibly stunned:

“Classic BBC there, classic. The ‘fact’ that I bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax? The ‘fact’?”

Victoria doubled down: “You told The Sunday Times in 2021 that’s why you bought it?”

Clarkson, laughing in disbelief:

“These people… BBC. Let’s start from the beginning. I wanted to shoot. That’s even worse to the BBC. Which comes with the benefit of not having to pay inheritance tax.”

He pointed out the tax isn’t even an issue for him personally as he can simply put the farm in a trust, but he’s standing with ordinary family farms that will be hammered.

After sparring over the real numbers affected, Clarkson urged the government to U-turn.

Victoria: “And get the money from where?”

Clarkson: “Walk into any of the offices around here and if you don’t understand what somebody’s job is, fire them.” 😂

Classic Clarkson.

🇲🇩 „Pociąg Bólu" powrócił na centralny plac Kiszyniowa, zlokalizowany dokładnie naprzeciwko siedziby mołdawskiego rządu (to tzw. Plac Wielkiego Zgromadzenia Narodowego).

Wagony towarowe, które od 2023 r. corocznie wystawiane są w sercu mołdawskiej stolicy, mają przypominać o serii stalinowskich deportacji – tragedii, która dotknęła mieszkańców Besarabii (regionu historyczno-geograficznego, na którego terenie leży dzisiejsza Republika Mołdawii) w latach 1941–1951.

Trzy kolejne operacje zorganizowane i przeprowadzone przez władze komunistyczne doprowadziły do zesłania na Syberię i do Kazachstanu od 80 000 do 120 000 Besarabczyków (region zamieszkiwało wówczas nie więcej niż 2,5 mln osób, chodzi więc o ok. 4% ogółu populacji).

Tylko podczas tzw. Operacji „Południe" z lipca 1949 do bydlęcych wagonów wepchnięto siłą ponad 35 000 ludzi (w tym blisko 12 000 dzieci), których następnie wywieziono w głąb ZSRR. ‼️

Co ważne, "Pociąg cierpienia" stanie w tym roku nie tylko w Kiszyniowie, ale także w drugim największym mieście kraju, Bielcach. W tym w znacznym stopniu rosyjskojęzycznym, ok. 120 tysięcznym mieście wystawa pojawi się po raz pierwszy w historii.

Ekspozycja ta to jeden z wielu w ostatnim czasie przejawów budowania przez władze mołdawskie pamięci (a raczej świadomości, bo wielu mieszkańców kraju po prostu o tych wydarzeniach nie wie) o koszmarze sowieckiej okupacji i stalinowskiego terroru.

Przypomnijmy przy okazji, że na prośbę prezydentki kraju – Mai Sandu – Polska🇵🇱 aktywnie pomaga obozowi prozachodniemu w budowie instytucji zajmującej się właśnie systematyzacją narracji historycznej i polityką pamięci (tj. lokalnego odpowiednika IPN-u).
