CORRECTION: Israel plans major settlement push across occupied West Bank https://t.co/1MGC3gNXdo
We will delete a post that referenced Israel’s latest settlement push as being seen by many as illegal; Israel’s settlements in the occupied West Bank are deemed illegal under international law
This is a terrifying development from a club within City Football Group, and once again has Ferran Soriano's fingerprints all over it.
This simply cannot come to England, and needs revoking for NYCFC fans.
Ronaldo's face when Bernardo Silva was announced as UEFA Nations League Player of the Tournament in 2019 , bro really thought he won it after playing 2 out of 6 games and ghosting in one of them. 😭😭😭
Hi all, Alex here! I am pleased and proud to announce my new book, 'For the Love: How Football Supporters Can Change the World' 🎉!

Rest in Power Dexter Wansel
Blacktronika and ArtPhilly send strength, love, and heartfelt condolences to the family of Dexter Wansel during this time.
Grammy Award Winning producer, Dexter Wansel was one of the most important composers and electronic music innovators in modern music, particularly within Black musical traditions. Joining Philadelphia International Records in 1973 as a keyboardist, he became one of the label’s key creative forces, introducing synthesizers such as the ARP 2600, EMS VCS3, and Oberheim Six Voice into its recordings and sonic vocabulary.
His 1976 masterpiece, Life on Mars, remains one of the most groundbreaking and visionary works in the Philadelphia International catalog. Expansive in scope and fearless in imagination, the album opened new possibilities for listeners, merging futurism, spirituality, and electronic experimentation in ways that continue to resonate today. As a composer, Wansel helped shape some of the label’s most enduring recordings, working with artists ranging from Lou Rawls to The Jones Girls, including the timeless classic “Nights Over Egypt.”
His legacy has been expanded by everyone from Rick Ross to Cole to Mobb Deep through sampling.
For the past several months, we had been planning to honor Mr. Wansel with the inaugural Blacktronika Icon Award and a special performance celebrating his extraordinary contributions. The event on June 24 will now serve as a celebration of his life, creativity, and love.
He was our hero, mentor, and guiding light. He now joins the ancestors, leaving behind a body of work that will continue to inspire generations to come.
See you in the cosmos, Mr. Wansel.
