Is Google dumb? Or is it evil? Genuine question. The ability to fake satellite imagery with simple prompts was rolled out yesterday to all users & the potential harm is so blindingly obvious, it’s almost as if they’re profit-seeking chaos edgelords who simply don’t give a shit

[Dottie @Chris_Dottie]

@NeilA1878 Yup, for Moyes every position is that of a workhorse including KDH at CAM. I don’t think Charlie is dreadful out of possession either, works hard just lacks a bit of tactical discipline.

Emma Hayes, writing in the Guardian: "We talk about individuals too much in English football. Football is about the collective. Spain are the most exceptional *team* in the world..."
More on that here, plus Hayes' tactical look at the final. #FifaWorldCup

@bifana_bifana @KuperSimon And we all know there will be no sanction for Paredes’ thuggery after the final whistle, when he should have been in the dressing room an hour earlier

[Andy Mitten @AndyMitten]

Fully deserved, Spain.

Ultimate reward for outstanding coaching (for boys and girls), facilities (even tiny villages have top all weather pitches) and a large talent pool which is serious and committed to football, plus clear pathways into high level leagues

@RichardBuxton_ I’m going to be sitting here all night trying to work out an Ozempic version now

[Dottie @Chris_Dottie]

@RichardBuxton_ Deserves a wider audience that, pal

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan https://t.co/W3UhBerdH0

[Colin Millar @Millar_Colin]

The hometowns of Norway's two goal scorers vs Senegal (Erling Haaland, Bryne, and Marcus Pedersen, Hammerfest) are separated by 2,400km, a 30-hour car journey that crosses through three nations (Norway, Sweden and Finland). Bryne is closer to Milan than it is to Hammerfest.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I have never taken part in a coup against any Leader of the Labour Party and I am not going to start now. 2/3

[Sam @SamCKx]

A democratically elected British Prime Minister has been driven from office by a relentless campaign of propaganda and misinformation; funded, amplified and perpetuated by foreign billionaires and elites whose interests bear zero resemblance to those of ordinary working people.

A noble gesture from an emotional Keir Starmer, entirely consistent with his conduct in office.

A truly sad day for British democracy.

His full resignation speech:

[Antifa_Ultras @ultras_antifaa]

“Football was popular because the poor were happy to play with a ball. When football turned into dishonest business, that is when the wealthy classes saw an opportunity in it, and since then it no longer belongs to the poor.”

— Marcelo Bielsa

[Roberto Parrottino @rparrottino]

Marcelo Bielsa: “Jugar cuatro tiempos en lugar de dos altera la concepción que culturalmente se había construido para interpretar el fútbol. No le agrega nada y le quita mucho. Cuando se dividió en cuatro no se pensó en el efecto que puede tener sobre lo que hizo que el fútbol sea un deporte que enamora, sino que se pensó en otro tipo de repercusiones que no las discuto ni las analizo. Antes de esta decisión el fútbol tenía una característica; ahora tiene otra. La gente se enamora del juego por sus características”.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: A Labour source says Keir Starmer feels "betrayed"

"He gave everything to Labour, including sacrificing much of his children's teenage years to help make the party electable. He feels deeply betrayed, especially by those he believed were loyal to him"

[Dottie @Chris_Dottie]

@samwhyte Get better soon, kid.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.

Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

[The Pink King @DayalSami]

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species
