Let me say this very directly.

Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.

The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.

Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.

🚨🗣 Jose Mourinho on Messi and Argentina:

"This world cup actually exposed Messi and Argentina, they're not a good team, just reckless tackles which the referee ignores most of the times"

"Imagine having 0 shot on target in 2 hours of playing football, that says everything about them, they aren't that good and if not for some help, they wouldn't have reach the final"

i'm obsessed with what's happening in AI reforestation right now

this Franco-Brazilian startup called MORFO took a patch of land in Brazil that was rock-hard and compacted from years of cattle farming. they replanted it using a single drone. months later the ground was covered in grass, bushes, and small trees. the land came back to life.

here's how the whole thing works.

1. drones scan the terrain with high-resolution cameras and sensors
2. AI analyzes the imagery alongside soil samples, moisture levels, slope, and surrounding vegetation
3. the system picks from a catalog of 300+ native species, deciding exactly which plants will thrive in which specific spot
4. the drone fires biodegradable seed pods packed with seeds, nutrients, and moisture at 180 capsules per minute
5. satellite and drone imagery monitors regrowth over time, with AI tracking vegetation cover and biodiversity
6. two people and one drone cover 50 hectares a day. a person planting by hand manages about one hectare.

and MORFO isn't alone. AirSeed in Australia drops 250,000 seed pods per day into bushfire-scarred koala habitat, replanting swamp mahogany that koalas depend on to survive. Flash Forest in Canada fires 50,000 pods daily into wildfire-destroyed boreal forest, planning the replanting alongside Cree Indigenous communities. re-green won Prince William's Earthshot Prize after planting 6 million seedlings across 30,000 hectares of Amazon and Atlantic Forest.

five companies across four continents built this same approach independently. nobody coordinated. the physics of the problem demanded it.

knowing which seeds belong in which soil used to require years of ecological fieldwork, manual planting crews, and budgets that made large-scale restoration nearly impossible. now two people with a drone and an AI model trained on local soil data can replant 50 hectares before lunch.

this is the AI work that'll still matter in 50 years.

Oversight and Judiciary Dems visited Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison today, it is essentially a pristine park with fountains and ample green space. She’s the only convicted sex offender there. Why did @DAGToddBlanche move her here? This isn’t justice.

@brucefenton Land grabbing. It is truly evil.

I condemn any attempt to sell property in the settlements in the West Bank, be that in London or anywhere else in the world.

Israel is destroying every single home in the southern 40 miles of Lebanon.

This is not “targeting Hezbollah strongholds.”

These are Christian villages and Sunni villages and Shia villages where people have lived for centuries.

Henry Nowak's mother has said:

"We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together."

And there you have it.

Farage has done untold damage to the British economy by being instrumental in Brexit; enormous damage to British society by inflaming ethnic divisions; and incalculable damage to the probity of British politics by countenancing obscene levels of funding from disreputable sources.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Farage has incited violence on our streets and he should be held to account.

Tucker Carlson interviews a British doctor who worked in Gaza.

"Four young teenage boys were brought in, all of whom who'd been shot in the testicles."

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

To see @TuckerCarlson speaking up for @jeremycorbyn makes the unstartling point that almost all of humanity is repulsed by the senseless sadistic slaughter of humanity.

What he’s proposing is a return to municipalism - when the basic infrastructure of a city was owned and sometimes also operated by the city itself. It’s the pre-1945 settlement that even saw London deliver its own healthcare before the NHS.

It’s about self-sufficient regions rooting capital in their community to protect them against the tumult of globalisation. It’s about ensuring the fundamentals of an economy- energy, transport, water and even housing - can stop being a drag on people’s pay packets and the cost of business. That frees up people to innovate, spend, save for a better future, and take risks. Singapore does it. France does it. What it isn’t is status quo Neo-liberalism or Fabian style nationalisation. Which is why everyone is struggling to name it. It’s the Mutual Future.
