sometimes I remember I once got Brendan O'Neill's massive forehead in Wire magazine

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

@humbleetc It'd have the same energy as that bit in Reflections on the Revolution in France where it becomes apparent that Burke is partly mad cos he had the horn for Marie Antoinette.

@Arbeit_Fish "Confirmed she maybe".

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

@Arbeit_Fish At least Ashworth used his own humiliating defeat to further his awful, stupid ideology.

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

@seaningle You don't normally ask for selfies, but you thought you would with a devastatingly defeated athlete just to further an agenda that she's pretty clearly opposed to?

[DAISY CUTTER @daisycutterzine]

carini didn't protect her chin which historically has led to people getting punched in the face in boxing, funnily enough.

moreover she hasn't opposed khelif's participation at all.

"I never felt power like that" - Shane Mosley on Manny Pacquiao

"the hardest I've ever been punched" - Kell Brook on Gennady Golovkin

"I've never been punched like that before" - Suguru Muranaka on Khalid Yafai

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

@AnomieGeog Yeah, I'm not sure if she's knowingly feeding the narrative, or is being swept along by a current she's unaware of. The Graun's Sean Ingle tweeting selfies with her is particularly ghoulish.

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

Carini's a sore loser acting out of desperation and playing to (and/or being played by) the white supremacist, transphobic crowd. But her claims are no different to hundreds of boxers before her, often made in admiration.

"he’s the hardest I’ve ever been punched by. Ever." - Johnny Fisher on Daniel Dubois

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

"I’ve never really been hit like that before." - Rocky Fielding on Canelo Alcaraz

“I've never been hit like that in my life” - Jason Moloney on Naoya Inoue

"I'd never been hit like that before" - Taylor McGoldrick on Gennadi Stserbin

[Oliver Brown @oliverbrown_tel]

In a highly emotional interview, Angela Carini has just explained that she abandoned because she had never been punched so hard.

Imane Khelif said nothing. And this is the issue that the IOC’s Mark Adams suggested everyone should just ‘dial down’.

An absolute scandal

@redrumlisa Great we'll just let the Israeli military know and they'll call the whole thing off.

sorry but why do i keep hearing what Wes Streeting has to say. everyday I wake up and there he is. why are they trying to make Wes Streeting happen

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

@adipsal And encourages pomposity such as this!

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

Hearing the old guard on TMS try to comprehend Bazball is like a political scientist trying to make sense of the 2017 election.

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

@adipsal Yeah. And, I think, a particular Benjaminian/Jamesonian understanding of revolutionary temporality.

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

...whereas Bazball is an attempt to make every moment historical. It's a temporality of permanent spontaneity, and in that the important loses its importance: every happening becoming pure spectacle.

[norman lamont young @dmbutopia]

...I like old school test temporality, in which there are significant periods of nothing much which occasionally give way to historical moments in which it all happens, the genesis can then be observed in those patches of boredom...
