In America, a warehouse store. A fully roasted chicken costs five dollars, the raw chicken beside it costs seven, and I stood between them like a man between two truths.

Golden. Hot. Seasoned. Spinning in glory under the lights, in a line of its brothers. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents.

I checked the raw birds. Seven dollars. Pale. Cold. You must do everything yourself.

This is not commerce. Commerce does not move backward. Somewhere in this building, mathematics lies defeated.

I asked the man at the counter. "How is the cooked bird cheaper than the raw bird?"

"Been five bucks forever. They keep it that way."

"But the store loses."

"Yep. On purpose."

On purpose. I held my receipt with both hands.

In my land, a lord who lowered the price of rice in a hard winter was remembered for generations. They built him a small shrine. This store does it every day, with chicken, and tells no one.

A woman behind me grew tired of my reverence. "It's just a chicken, sir."

It is not just a chicken. It is a wound the merchant takes on purpose, so that anyone, on any day, with five dollars, eats like a lord. The bird is the message. The price is the vow.

I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious.

Some prices are not prices. They are promises.

I return every week now. I take one bird. I bow toward the deli, briefly, so as not to alarm the staff. They have begun nodding back.

The vow holds. The bird turns. Five dollars.

Long may it spin.

To protect yourself from COVID, I advise my Irish brothers to:

• Wear a mask.

• Use decentralized encrypted mesh networks like BitChat to communicate over short distances (a crowd or a city block).

• Avoid transmitting sensitive data over apps like Telegram or Signal. GCHQ can read it.

• For sensitive information, old school is cool. Good ol’ fashioned “Sneakernet” (physically walking with an SD card or note).

• Scout your routes and meeting spots in advance.

• Compartmentalize: only share what the other person needs to know. Loose lips sink ships.

• Learn basic countersurveillance: vary your routines, use public transport creatively, and watch for tails.

• Don’t carry your cellphone with you on an op.

Most importantly, have fun.

I didn’t want them to win but I got to tip my cap to the Knicks. What a run. Congrats to all of New York. You guys deserve it. I always sell championship gear when Boston teams win. It’s only fair I do it for NYC. Championship gear on sale now

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

Imagine losing the biggest game of your life and your first thought is to try and clip farm, the most performative loser in football.

Arsenal spent the whole season cheating and playing dire, negative football to win the league, only for their shithouse of a centre half at the heart of it all to miss the decisive penalty in a Champions League final. Tonight is the first time in my life that I believe in god.
