🚨Football in 2026 is a complete MESS
- Southampton win over 210 minutes, then Middlesbrough take their place despite losing, completely ruining Hull preparation.
- Celtic practically handed the SPL by VAR.
- Arsenal given the Premier League title thanks to VAR.
- Senegal protest an incorrect VAR call, go on to win the game, then have the AFCON taken off them.
Football should be decided between 22 blokes on a pitch not in offices or VAR rooms. Absolute shambles. It’s not football anymore.
People living abroad often feel very lonely, and they're at risk of mental health issues. Don't always think of only what you can get from them. Try to confirm that they're truly fine. Check up on them genuinely.
Happy birthday to the Cisse nonuplets, who turn five today! 🥳
On 4 May 2021, nine children were born to Halima Cisse (Mali) in the Ain Borja clinic in Casablanca, Morocco. This is the first known incidence of nonpulets surviving birth.
I saw a video where Neil deGrasse Tyson narrated how racist 19th century anthropologists set up human racial hierarchies with white males at the top of the evolutionary ladder and Blacks and other non whites lower down, still evolving and closer to the apes.
He explained that back then, calling someone a Neanderthal was a straight up insult because Neanderthals were seen as brutish and primitive. But then in the 1990s, once genetic testing became possible, scientists discovered that Europeans carry 1 to 3% Neanderthal DNA while Africans have 0%. Suddenly, research papers started coming out praising how creative, imaginative, and skilled with tools the Neanderthals must have been.
Tyson pointed out it was a complete u-turn of the Neanderthal image that began right around the time they learned this genetic information.
Interesting example on how bias can shape science… and this is true mostly in anthropological research…
