@UEF_Podcast The number of people around televised sport - barstool bullshitters - who never learned the form of a proper argument is numbingly tedious. Assertion after assertion shorn of data. Look, for example, at shirt sales, social following, commercial revenue. Do your fucking homework
@CounterPressers “they will win every major silverware for the next 5 years.” This is incoherent hyperbole. You realize Real Madrid and Brazil didn’t come close to outcomes remotely approaching this standard?

@TheFP “Accusing” Netanyahu of the “maiming of children” is like accusing a dark cloud of brining rain. More notable are those who cast doubt on the plainly obvious
@the_jefferymead Good riddance to them. They were the people who pulled the party onto a rubber stamp for Netanyahu. Keys have that debate at the national level

@mehdirhasan You’re basically right. But we should acknowledge that the “abolish prison” types - more noise than numbers - are effectively calling for unsafe cities
@LauraLoomer Moral clarity is why you were kicked off this platform in the first place. You’ve as much moral clarity as a hooker considering why she caught the clap
