Just got back from the local frozen yogurt shop. Ahead of us were an entire family of Muslims. About 8 of them. They likely just had dinner at the Mediterranean next door.

They took free sample cups, filled them 3-4 times each, then left, laughing the entire time. Nobody purchased a thing.

I see this often - Muslims thinking the rules and morals driven by our culture don't apply to them. Thinking they're better than us.

I'm fucking sick of it.

@DollyArmy2000 By population share, roughly 44% of Hiroshima and 25% of Nagasaki died, compared with about 3% of Gaza’s pre-war population since October 2023. Israel is incompetent at genocide - is that your allegation?

Possibly the worst aged tweet of all time.

@DanLFC1_ Szobo might be good as a RM in a 442 OOP system?

[. @DanLFC1_]

I don't think we are far off challenging tbh.

Iraola needs to make a few key decisions:

- Move Szobo to a RB/RW role

- Make sure Araujo/Gomez/Szobo play as many games are RB as possible

- Nyoni needs to be starting more games given he is our best DLP

- Get Camara in January

The level of self confidence to even try this in a UCL semi-final is crazy.

[Canada Rescue 401 🇨🇦 @canadarescue401]

I went to go see @edsheeran in Toronto and let me tell you, if he had an opener staging a pro Palestine rally and doing terrorism chants, I would get the fuck out of there immediately & demand a refund.

@edsheeran I regret supporting you and I will never go to another show.

Daughter randomly asked me if she could film the end of the match 😅

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

Many years from now, we’ll tell our children how Israel, a country the size of New Jersey, dominated and won a 7-front war against genocidal Islamic terrorist organizations like a boss, and showed the world how you deal with radical Islam and terrorists.

God is with Israel.

My view on Florian wirtz situation.....

I've never supported any club apart from Liverpool...

Liverpool is all I knew growing up ..I've pictures when I was a kid with Liverpool jerseys which I will not put here

I've always seen players go on strike to leave Liverpool..Torres ,Suarez , mascherano , sterling and recently coutinho .

Now I see players who are doing everything to join us .. rejecting clubs and going on strike to join us ..

So you want me to repay that with dragging them and saying trash to them because things aren't going well after a season ?

Nah .. we would fix it ... And it will work

Glad it is working out for isak .. and it is going to work out for Florian wirtz soon

I love you my boy ..

@Terpyswerpy @Matt_Bracken48 @OwenShroyer1776 Closer 20,000 or 90,000? From October 7th 2023 till end August 2026?

[Robyn’s Randoms 💜✡️ @sweetnjmom]

From the Facebook page, New Jersey Against Antisemitism:

If you go to an Ed Sheeran concert and end up at a Free Palestine rally courtesy of his headliner, you’re entitled to demand a refund. Ticketmaster confirmed they’ll issue one.

Call 1-800-653-8000 and demand it directly, citing bait-and-switch — you paid for an Ed Sheeran concert, not a political rally. Get the rep’s name and a confirmation number.

Share with everyone who went.

Jews came from Judea. Arabs came from Arabia.

Jews reclaimed a sliver smaller than New Jersey.

Arabs conquered 11+ million sq miles of other peoples’ land—20% of Earth’s landmass.

Can someone please remind me again who the colonizers are?

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

The original Top Gear that launched in 1977 was a useful programme. The 2002 reboot, cooked up by Clarkson and producer Andy Wilman, was something else: a studio with a live crowd, a mute racing driver in a white suit called The Stig, celebrities sent around a track in a “reasonably priced car,” and three presenters who treated cars as punchlines, characters and passports.

When James May replaced Jason Dawe in series two, the chemistry locked. Clarkson was the loud, power-obsessed ringmaster. Hammond was the sharp witted, enthusiastic hamster who would try anything. May was Captain Slow, the pedant with the soul of an engineer. Their arguments weren’t bits. They felt like three mates who actually liked each other and enjoyed winding each other up. The show became a sitcom that happened to have supercars in it.

Cars stopped being appliances. They became the excuse for “how hard can it be?” challenges, £1,500 sports cars that immediately exploded, races against trains and boats and planes, and specials that sent three middle-aged men across Botswana, Vietnam, Bolivia, Patagonia and the Arctic. The cinematography - helicopter shots, dusk light, engines echoing off mountains - made a car show look like cinema. People who had never cared about torque curves suddenly cared about whether Hammond would survive the next cheap-car challenge.

The numbers were absurd -
In the UK it regularly pulled six million-plus viewers and peaked near seven or eight million. At its height it was the BBC’s most valuable commercial property, worth tens of millions a year in overseas sales, DVDs, tours and merch. The UK version was sold into 170-plus countries. BBC figures put the cumulative worldwide audience around 350 million people - not every week, but over the life of the show, an astonishing reach for a programme that started as a poky little motoring magazine.

Sunday night became a ritual. Families who couldn’t name a camshaft still sat down together. Kids who would never own a Veyron learned what one sounded like. People in countries with no British TV tradition quoted “POWERRRR,” “Oh, cock,” and “Some say…” as if they were local slang.

They invented the template everyone still copies -
Look at YouTube car culture. Cinematic reviews. Personality-first presenting. Budget road trips with mates. “We bought three terrible cars and drove them across a continent.” That whole language exists because Clarkson, Hammond and May made it look like the most fun job on earth, years before every 22-year-old had a gimbal and a channel. Writers have argued, not unreasonably, that for a generation they mattered more to car enthusiasm than many of the great manufacturers. Ask a random person to name someone famous associated with cars. They will not say Enzo Ferrari. They will say Jeremy Clarkson.

They also made loving cars socially normal. You didn’t have to be a garage hermit. You could be a bloke who liked engines and jokes and scenery. The specials doubled as travel films. A lot of people booked flights to Vietnam or Botswana because three idiots on BBC Two made the world look reachable.

The impact wasn’t just ratings. It was companionship. For more than a decade, millions of people had three familiar voices in the living room every week. Bad day? Cheap-car challenge. Need wonder? Polar special. Need to laugh at human incompetence? Almost any episode. The friendship on screen - real enough that it survived crashes, controversies, a BBC firing and a move to Amazon - made the show feel like hanging out with people you knew.

They were messy. They caused diplomatic incidents. They said things that would not survive a modern compliance meeting. That is part of why they felt like television from a different era: three men who were allowed to be large, rude, authentic, sentimental and ridiculous in the same hour. When they finally signed off from The Grand Tour, it really did feel like the end of something that television no longer quite knows how to make.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

The men have long beards and women cover their hair. They dress in a distinct way, pray in another language, are very religious, and have many children. Yet their presence does not cause fear and no one worries they might blow themselves up in a suicide attack. What’s different?

[🇪🇸 @FrankTheBeef5]

I don’t get the defence of the Gabriel kicking Martinez in the head was ‘accidental’

If you accidentally go over the top of the ball it’s a red, so why does intent matter for kicking someone… in the fucking head? What is more dangerous than that?

[Sasha Goryunov @Slasherrrr]

- the goalkeeper has the ball under control

Law 12: “A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control of the ball with their hand(s)/arm(s)”

- the goalkeeper gets kicked in the head

Why was this not a red card for Gabriel?

#ARSCHE

[Chino @ChinoUTD]

🚨 Jamie Carragher on Gabriel’s challenge on Martinez :

🗣️ Carragher: “This is why I sometimes laugh when people say refereeing decisions even themselves out over a season.

Look at this one. Gabriel goes for the ball, absolutely. I don’t think anybody is saying he wakes up this morning planning to kick the goalkeeper in the head.

But how many times do we see somebody get sent off and afterwards they’re saying, ‘I was going for the ball’? Of course you were. Most players who get sent off for these red card challenges are trying to win the ball. That doesn’t suddenly make the challenge safe.

Once you miss it and your boot ends up in the goalkeeper’s face, the question becomes whether you’ve endangered an opponent. That’s what VAR has to seriously look at.

Because if they look at it and decide it’s serious foul play, Gabriel is sent off. Arsenal are playing practically the entire match with ten men.

Instead there’s no card and we’re playing on.

That’s not a little decision.

People will analyse the game afterwards and talk about possession, chances, substitutions, who played well. But you’re potentially talking about two completely different football matches depending on how one referee interprets five seconds.

And that’s where the inconsistency frustrates people. Chelsea supporters will remember another challenge that was reviewed and punished. Arsenal supporters will find another one that wasn’t.

I’m less interested in which fanbase can produce the better compilation.

I just want to know what the rule is.

Because if this is considered a normal attempt to play the ball, fine. Tell everybody.

Goalkeepers might want to wear helmets, but at least we’ll have consistency.”
