I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell is essentially on paid sick & medical leave.
The same employment protection he has spent his career blocking other Americans from having.
La culpa siempre es del aire acondicionado, de las duchas de más de 5’, del coche a gasolina del pobre… pero curiosamente nunca lo es de los jets privados, los campos de golf, la industria fast fashion, los centros de datos, de las toneladas de residuos y gases de las fabricas..
🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on the inconsistency of VAR after Folarin Balogun’s red card compared to the earlier Lionel Messi challenge against Algeria:
🗣️ “Now we see the inconsistency. One player is protected, another is exposed. That is the biggest problem in football today.”
“If Balogun’s challenge is a straight red card, then people have every right to ask why similar incidents are judged differently. The rules should not change depending on the name on the back of the shirt.”
“This decision exposes the rigidity of VAR, but also its inconsistency. VAR was introduced to remove controversy, yet too often it creates even bigger arguments.”
“Football cannot have two standards—one for the biggest stars and another for everyone else. Either the law is the law, or it means nothing.”
“The fans don’t ask for perfection. They ask for consistency. They want to know that every player, whether it’s Messi, Balogun or anyone else, is judged by exactly the same standard.”
“When supporters start questioning whether reputation influences decisions, that’s dangerous for the credibility of the game. Trust in officiating disappears.”
“VAR should make football fairer, not make people wonder why identical situations end with completely different outcomes. That’s the conversation everyone will be having after this.”
It's really sad because if we had elected a normal president, the 250th anniversary of our country would have been a really cool celebration of everything that makes this country great.
Instead, we get one miserable, unpopular asshole inserting himself into every little thing and making it about himself.
And it was entirely predictable if you had a pulse the past 10 years. Oh well...
Florida tried to create "Alligator Alcatraz."
The Miccosukee Tribe stood up and sued. As a result, Alligator Alcatraz was officially shut down today.
We need to thank the Miccosukee Nation for their courage and attention to this fight; this victory wouldn't have happened without their commitment to protecting our environment.
Shortly after the election I grieved for and later made peace with the extremely uncomfortable fact that most of us are going to die significantly earlier than we would like, and the cause may very well trace a direct line to the actions of this administration.
