i don’t think ppl truly grasp that, if Bolsonaro Jr. wins in Brazil, the Amazon rainforest is definitely FUCKED, just when we’re reaching a point of no-return in the climate crisis. this affects literally everybody on earth.

The mass slaughter of migrating birds across the Mediterranean each spring and autumn, for no reason other than kicks, is ecocide on a massive scale. The men who do this are perverts. Shame, shame on Egypt (Lebanon, Malta, etc.)

[Seb @S3BB95]

RT @MiguelDelaney: This view that City made the league more competitive is… the opposite of the truth. It’s the most dominant spell ever se…

Oli Dugmore delivers one of the most powerful and well thought out answers I’ve seen this n a long time on #bbcqt 👏

Curiouser and curiouser

As @DamianHastie points out, in 2015 the US depts of Commerce, State + Transport launched an inquiry into whether Etihad were receiving govt subsidies

Etihad statement to commission was:

"The assertion that the Abu Dhabi government paid for Etihad's sponsorship of English Premier League football club Manchester City is … false. In 2011, Etihad and Manchester City entered into a 10-year sponsorship agreement, which included naming rights for Manchester City's stadium. Etihad funded this sponsorship from its own liquidity’

Suella Braverman on GMB this morning, yapping on excitedly about how she LOVES the British Empire, how her cousin comes over as an immigrant and how her family all benefited blah blah

Kate Garraway quips "So you're PRO immigration?"

Braverman laughs nervously "not today in 2026"

This is what we call pulling up the drawbridge.

Austria has about -30% less electricity from water power, this is massive. Less run off and a bigger atmospheric thirst should trigger a serious discussions here in central europe. No it does not all we got is the usual political muppet farce.

[Seb @S3BB95]

Missing some important context here

[Dr. Umir Irfan @umirf1]

So insane that City won four leagues in a row with the same manager, in the same PL that innovates tactically and dominates physically as much as it does.

Spending big doesn’t guarantee continued success. It’s actually shown potential to accelerate decline if used poorly.

[Toe In The Water @ToeInTheWater1]

City fans talking about Abu Dhabi's regeneration of east Manchester as a mitigating factor is nonsense

Univ. Of Sheffield report says they got vast tracts of central Manchester on the cheap from the council and then funnelled the rents offshore.

Football is different, that’s why

Using Nick Butt’s analogy, it you’re billionaire + can fund your crane company to eliminate all opposition, well done you. Bad for consumer but that’s capitalism

If you’re a billionaire football club owner and eliminate the other 19 teams by signing all the players, you have no league, no one to play + no business

Hence in a closed league, you need agreed rules on what you can and can’t spend on payroll - it’s existential

[LE GROVE @LeGrove]

Diabolical of the Premier League to tell rival clubs of the Man City charges first, guaranteeing a leak, at the start of the longest international break of all time.

Then, as the full attention of the world was focused on this singular topic, they dropped the full, irrefutable details.

Now there will be 10 more days of insane, one-topic scrutiny. This will ensure the independent panel's view and its implications are SEARED into our brains.

PR dark arts designed for maximum devastation. Quite impressive and indicative of how this will run.

[Charlie Eccleshare @CDEccleshare]

Obviously we don’t know what he knew but the eye-narrowing, gaslighty approach Pep/City have taken throughout to difficult questions has been very reminiscent of Lance Armstrong.

And similarly helped by many observers being very compliant

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

Man City guilty of ALL charges.

£900m is batshit crazy.

For context Everton got docked 8 points for £25 million.

The sanctions hearing will be an all-timer.

[Seb @S3BB95]

@fkhanage @clivepafc Completely agree. There are so many reasons to detest Chelsea irrespective of who you support.

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

Manchester City were first informed that they had been found guilty of more than 100 breaches of the Premier League's financial rules in the summer.

Sources told ESPN club chiefs were initially made aware of the findings of the independent panel in July. It was followed by an aggressive approach in the summer transfer window, during which seven senior signings arrived at the Etihad Stadium at a cost of more than £450 million…

It took me three years diving in Florida to see a tiger shark.

Yet the Trump admin believes there are too many and they need to be killed off.
