This one specific Nancy strip is the subject of one of the best books about visual media that you could ever read. It's modestly titled "How to Read Nancy," but studying it will deepen your ability to read all visual art, from the fine to the profane

Quansah red card was correct, as is two-game ban.

All entirely uncontroversial ... if it wasn't for the fact that FIFA applied their rules differently in the Balogun and Ronaldo cases.

They didn't rescind the Balogun red card after Trump's call to Infantino. They didn't say it was wrongful dismissal. They just delayed the ban. And from that point, everything seems contestable

We just had a sitting president call FIFA to overturn a red card.

Everything is political, especially sports.

This is not how football works.

Serious foul play is "at least two games" regardless of the challenge.

It should only be increased, as with the Qatar player who (wrongly) got 5 games, not decreased.

France v Morocco

Along with the whole on-field referee team being from the same country for the first time at this World Cup, the VAR is now too.

That is Argentina.

Alberta just approved a $13 billion Meta data centre in Sturgeon County. Here’s what they’re not telling you.

It needs a dedicated 1.4 gigawatt gas plant just to run. That’s roughly the entire daily power demand of Edmonton, for one facility.

Alberta’s grid is already 60% gas powered, nearly 5 times the national emissions intensity. Ottawa’s whole AI strategy assumed Canada’s clean grid would power this stuff. Alberta is the exception, and it’s where almost every planned data centre in the country is now landing.

Meta says it’ll fund its own power infrastructure and match usage with clean energy eventually. Pembina’s Greenlight gas plant isn’t even online until second half of 2030. So new gas gets built now, promises get made for later.

300 permanent jobs for a $13 billion investment. Compare that to what else that capital could have built.

Residents near similar projects in Olds have raised real concerns about water use, air quality and noise, with limited say before approvals move forward.

This isn’t an anti-tech take. It’s a question of who actually benefits when a province hands out energy and land for a fraction of the long term jobs a $13B investment should create.

Understand FA cannot appeal against Quansah's two-match ban.

FIFA says this with no mention of Article 27 which led to Balogun's suspension being fronzen.

Red Card was never overturned, and FIFA never admitted there was a mistake by the referees. They even fined Balogun $40K. They just ‘suspended’ the suspension. He's on probation.

An embarrassing way of handling the situation that has opened up Pandora’s box.

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

Fifa bans England's Jarell Quansah for two games, meaning he misses Norway and a potential semi-final.

Quansah was sent off for serious foul play.

US striker Folarin Balogun, who was sent off for serious foul play, got one game which was suspended for 12 months...

Okay but Germany is in fact the current world champion of basketball. That you arbitrarily ignore the Basketball World Cup and bring up the Olympics has no bearing on reality.
