It's quite obvious that the USA World Cup was used by Infantino, in cahoots with Trump, to demonstrate to investors how much money can be extracted out of the beautiful game. The whole thing - the hydration breaks, the awful half time show - it was all a set-up.
Massive netball match tonight. It’s winner takes all for a semi final place for @EnglandNetball v South Africa at the Commonwealth Games. Let’s Go England. Let’s Go Lois.
As a Greek, I was introduced to Homer almost as soon as I learned to read. His epics are among the first great works we encounter at school, and they remain a living part of our cultural consciousness.
Given that, I really don't care whether Christopher Nolan has remained completely faithful to Homer or has taken creative liberties.
What truly matters is that he has brought Homer back into the world's imagination. If his film encourages people to return to the Odyssey, discover the Iliad, or venture further into the treasures of classical literature, then it has already accomplished something extraordinary. Any work of art that sends people back to the source has, in my view, made a genuine contribution to culture.
Do have a read of my review. I am quite keen on Nolan’s Odyssey but it is worth thinking beyond the fandom and beyond the snarking

Trump welcome the Prime Minister of Iraq:
“He’s young and handsome, which I don’t like. I’m not happy about that.”
This is exactly what you’d expect a bloated old repressed closeted gay man to say.
Bonnie Tyler was a true professional, and a bright, shining light. She loved life and inspired the rest of us to do the same. Our thoughts are with Bonnie's loved ones.
Always in our hearts,

Remembering David Hockney, he was kind and always had a sparkle in his eye. He never stopped experimenting and is one of the finest painters of our generation.
1/2 The historically illiterate Vance and Hegseth cannot grasp that Britain has a sizeable minority of black & brown citizens not because we’ve been invaded by alien immigrants but because white Britons invaded much of South Asia, Africa and the Caribbean

“Two tier policing”: a far right, racist slogan that inverts the reality of anti-Black discrimination. Catastrophically mainstreamed by former Tory ministers, Farage and the right wing media:

This is fascinating and worth your time. Jared Kushner is using his quasi government position to grease massive deals with Saudi money and backing from a shady Epstein-connected network.
@LaindonFEMINIST Billionaire owned right wing traditional media does not want a strong Labour govt.
Billionaire social media owners do not want a strong Labour govt.
Vladimir Putin does not want a strong Labour govt.
So nobody should be surprised at the level of hate being orchestrated at KS.
People were angry with the destruction of over a decade of Conservative government, then angry that a Labour government hasn't reversed the decline in two years, so then vote for the very people that caused the decline in the first place expecting them to fix what they caused.
@TimesRadio@FraserNelson It's a complete mystery, after all the lies, damage and chaos of Brexit, that the exact same people fall for more of the same from the exact same grifter.
