I saw The Odyssey today and I have thoughts. Nolan does what he does, make a blockbuster. The sound design especially is otherworldly. However it lacks that special thing that makes a movie transcendent. Heart
Fair play to Thomas Tuchel, who seems to have managed to change that inbuilt DNA of England players to not attack after taking the lead in just three days. Imagine what could happen with 18 months before a major tournament...
If that was Tuchel’s plan before the tournament, to protect the box for extended periods of games, it makes leaving Harry Maguire out completely unfathomable. It just looks like a rearguard worked in Mexico for 25 mins and then he became addicted to it.
Last RT. I honestly don’t feel that way. Maybe because I don’t use AI to do stuff, I use it to learn how to do it myself. In fact I feel like AI has made me better. For writing code, my skills may have atrophied a little but in everything else I’ve 10x’ed my abilities.
I'm 33 and I think Claude Code is melting my brain.
For 6 months straight I've had 5-6 terminals open at once, waiting on responses just to smash "enter" 90% of the time. That's the whole job now.
And it's doing something to me. A few friends and I keep circling back to the same thing in conversations: none of us feel as sharp as we used to.
Maybe it's just us. But I keep wondering how many other people in their 30s feel it too.
(And yeah: this is a me problem, how I lean on the tool, not the tool itself. Doesn't make the effect any less real.)
You more or less pissed on Southgate and his achievements. Went out of your way to drop “his” players only to shit the bed in the exact same way. He should be sacked
Took off Gordon and brought in Burn, no thought of a counter with a fast player at the end of it. I hate hipster coaches sooo much. They always overthink and do the worst things
Argentina couldn’t match them in open play and you decide to give a team of excellent technicians the only conditions where their technique is the the key. This is crazy. MacAlister, Enzo, Alvarez, Lautaro, MESSI. You allowed those guys spam shots at youuuu!!! My head is in Mars
Argentina couldn’t score when you played normally. Why would you go into a deep block against a team of ball technicians. With the greatest of them all in Messi.
