🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have published an open letter to Green Party members urging them to defect
“If nature and climate is why you got into politics, you have a home with us"
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/YTEGRxbVpF
there’s a british man that has already been selected as people’s sexiest man alive, universally beloved, extremely charismatic, super fit, and somehow not considered for bond. I wonder why that is
Jürgen Klopp and Rudi Völler sat down with Felix Nmecha shortly after arriving at the DFB training camp in Herzogenaurach yesterday. During the meeting, they made it clear to the player that if they were to stand firmly behind him and wholeheartedly defend him amid the controversy, Nmecha would, in return, have to convince them that he did not stand for 'misguided values'
After the conversation, Nmecha put out a statement on Instagram explaining his position
BVB president and DFB vice-president Hans-Joachim Watzke also announced that the club would ask Nmecha to refrain from performing the crown celebration in the future. Dortmund are considering taking legal action against the “Ballers in God” (BiG) group if they don't stop using Nmecha as an ambassador in a BVB shirt to promote themselves on their social media channels
BILD contacted Nmecha, but he has yet to respond - and has also refused to give an in-depth Interview to answer follow-up questions and provide a comprehensive explanation of the issue

@SP33DRAC3RX It's good! Need to see it again though because I wanted to like it more as a big Gray fan, but it doesn't come out again until February in the UK smh
It's also a very slippery slope because how many other fascists, Nazis, nationalists, IDF soldiers, etc, would you defend with this same logic? If you are above the age of like 16 and try to say "well they gave me a gun, I had no choice" then you need to grow up and atone
not to dismiss every reply here, but the amount of people defending Sebastian as if he's a child with no agency is slightly concerning. yes there is nuance in his upbringing and community influence, but there comes a time where that cannot be an excuse for complicity in fascism
biggest issue with La Bola Negra is how it's central character is a complete void of a person that the film never seems to interrogate beyond his queerness and repressed feelings. he was a fascist and that's that I guess, no interest in examining that at all
🚨 BREAKING: Government to ban under-16s from Vinted, eBay and Depop, claiming the sites can be used to groom children.
• Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is preparing to expand the under-16s social media ban to cover online marketplaces including Vinted, eBay, Depop and Facebook Marketplace
• Officials are concerned that messaging functions on the platforms allow strangers to contact and groom children
• The Children’s Society has reported cases of young users being asked for indecent photos in exchange for money or gifts
• A government source said there is growing evidence that under-16s are accessing these services and facing potential risk
• The move follows a government consultation, appearing to show nine in ten parents back a ban, with two-thirds of young people agreeing under-16s should not use at least some platforms
• Regulations are due before the end of the year and the changes are expected to take effect in spring 2027
and so when trying to pretend that Sebastian's character deserves more grace and nuance than a Nazi soldier of the same age, it makes their argument seem strangely apologist
La Bola Negra fans seem to think the Franco regime and the Spanish Civil War was an isolated event and not something that occurred in conjunction with the other fascist uprising and crackdowns of socialism across Europe in the 20th century.
Doom should be talked about more as one of the best gaming franchises because the quality level is nuts. every game here is great (I haven't played Final Doom or those spinoffs like the RPG game tho)
@gizzverse he won't, probably between Malkovich, Scott and maybe Cruise if the academy likes Digger or his performance well enough regardless of their stance on the film as a whole. Damon will be nominated everywhere but he probably won't win anything
