🚨Zlatan Ibrahimovic on VAR after Croatia’s last-minute equaliser vs Portugal was ruled out:*

This referees are doing everything possible for Ronaldo to win the world cup but they will say Messi is the FIFA boy , This ball was never an Offside because the ball didn't touch the Croatia player , This is pure daylight robbery.

"The referee and VAR have just erased what should have been one of the greatest moments of this World Cup.”

"Let’s be clear: if you’re going to cancel a goal in the 90th minute, the evidence has to be beyond doubt. I’ve watched the incident multiple times, from every angle, and I still don’t see anything conclusive enough to overturn it.”

"If you’re in that VAR room for minutes, pausing, zooming, drawing lines to a shoulder, a boot, a heel… it’s not clear and obvious. And if it’s not clear, the goal must stand. That’s the whole point of VAR.”

"The referee has allowed technology to become the main character. But fans don’t fill stadiums or stay up late to watch a screen. They come for football — for drama, for emotion, for moments you remember forever.”

"Croatia showed real fight. They dug in, they scored late, they thought they’d earned a dramatic equaliser to keep their dream alive. Then one decision ripped it away, and that decision will be argued about for years.”

"This is why confidence in VAR is collapsing. It’s no longer fixing obvious mistakes. It’s hunting millimeters that nobody in the stadium can see with their own eyes. That’s not what football is supposed to be.”

"I feel for those Croatian players more than anything. You celebrate, you believe your World Cup is back on, and then it’s gone in seconds. For me, the referee on the pitch and VAR in the booth both got it wrong.

@craigraw @AppStore Cmon @Apple - Sparrow is awesome. The request is fair.

[Craig Raw 🐦 @craigraw]

My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity".

Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.

The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.

I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing.

The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it.

I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes.

If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

@niftynei Actually, now I’ve looked at it closer, this looks like DOTA - but red Alert was the game for me

[Miami Flights @hero_or_hack]

@niftynei Elite. Red alert right?

@frankgarza57 Y THE F .Eth?

@dylanwiliam @Mr_Titley Yep, same experience coaching 9U netball. Great article.

A barrier I have is asking a meaty Q, which is a wordy Q, then having them comprehend and then answer with more than a guess.

‘Clue’ comes from ‘clew’, the Old English word for a ball of wool. It’s a rare example of a modern meaning deriving from a story: the clew of thread that Ariadne gave to Theseus to guide him out of the labyrinth.

@BoWang87 @openclaw @grok how are students using openclaw?

MrBeast trains new employees at his company with a 36-page knowledge-rich PDF and a quiz at the end.

Oh, and he asks them to read the PDF twice, because they won't retain everything the first time.

Watch what people do, not what they say.

Today I learned Ohio State University didn’t pave walkways until students naturally created paths by walking on the grass. They literally trusted the process and it worked. I’m telling everyone about this.

@AccessTribe But again, how public was this. As far as I understand it, Epsteins initial conviction was swept under the carpet, which was part of the issue. Also lest we forget Adam was CTO, who are rarely involved on due diligence side.

@dylanwiliam @rpondiscio @samwineburg I used Mike’s course through, CIVIX - Ctrl-F - something like that, with MS classes. Applicable principles with flexible tools (vertical/lateral reading etc)
