@AAGoldsmith @xwleblancx It’s not overly dirty at all, but he leads with the knee, which is evident on the first angle. If not dirty, reckless technique. Hall could have just as easily hurt himself there. So, probably more frowned upon than dirty. I can see why Hutson would be pissed.

@DanBilzerian You are fragile like a child. About the same mental capacity as one too. Congrats!

@NickBuckleyMBE Grow up, you fucking nerd.

@justemoi1231 @_JordanDecker 😆. I’m going to tell you what to think but to me, getting mad at movie casting and thinking it’s “indefensible” is a massive waste of energy. Bigger fish to fry. Maybe you’ll end up liking the movie anyway.

@robbystarbuck Have you ever read the classics? Do you know the difference between The Iliad and the Odyssey? Achilles is a fairly minor character in the Odyssey. It’ll be fine. The outrage over these things is so embarrassing.

@ryangrim Obviously Iran has its own internal needs and demands, but I think during negotiations they should put in fine print that international media be let into Gaza. Just a little throw in.

@domluszczyszyn If they think they are the best team, why would they do that?

⚠️ Reuters has now confirmed what many suspected.

In early 2024, U.S. diplomats blocked internal cables describing northern Gaza as an “Apocalyptic Wasteland.” The reports included harrowing details: human bones scattered in the streets, bodies left abandoned in cars, & a total collapse of access to food, clean water, and medical aid.

These cables were not speculation. They were based on first-hand field observations from U.N. agencies & humanitarian workers on the ground.

So why were they blocked?

Because they were considered “too graphic.”
Because they “lacked balance.”
Because they might make Israel look bad.

Senior officials at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, including Ambassador Jack Lew & Deputy Chief Stephanie Hallett, stopped the reports from reaching higher levels of the U.S. government. They feared the cables would contradict the administration’s public narrative & disrupt ongoing political cover for Israel’s actions in Gaza.

According to former officials, humanitarian experts were sidelined, ignored, & outright dismissed. Inside meetings, the question from officials was not how to respond to starvation, but reportedly, “Where are all the skinny kids?”

This was not merely policy misjudgment, but complicity on a grand scale.

The Biden administration had access to concrete evidence of mass death, starvation, & social collapse. Instead of sounding the alarm, it chose to suppress the truth to preserve its political position.

They did not just ignore the warnings. They buried them.

Let that sink in.

@davemcomie @marclamonthill Egypt no longer controls the Rafah crossing. Israel does. Besides that, Egypt is not responsible for Israel turning gaza into rubble. Why not let Palestinian civilians into Israel then?

[Stephen Michaud @StephenMichaud7]

@OliLondonTV Who controls that crossing/has for a while?

[Stephen Michaud @StephenMichaud7]

@HFTVSports I think someone else already pointed this out, but they did back to back last season too. At home against TOR and road against BOS. This year is the road but it’s like an hour flight . Probably nice to get a back to back out of the way early.

@kylenabecker Recall too though that Bush and all the local California leadership were all working together and all on the same page. While this time Trump acted against the wishes of the state and city leadership. So it’s a little different of a situation on that side of things.

@thedailybeast Sorry, the description, not the headline

[Stephen Michaud @StephenMichaud7]

@thedailybeast The headline is a weee bit misleading. That said, I hope Trump takes a puck off the dong.

[Stephen Michaud @StephenMichaud7]

@EndWokeness It was lower at moments in December before trump was even inaugurated, dumbass. Took 1 second to look it up.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- MLK Day
- Juneteenth

@mschoenhardt @SportsOnPrimeCA I think this is the loudest I’ve ever turned my TV up and it’s still a little quiet.

There is nothing for people in North Gaza. Nothing. They’re being killed at an industrial scale by Israel’s siege and assault.
