Madame Celeste Amarilla, Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction. Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays. Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Varför låtsas svenska spelarna som om de aldrig rört en boll förut? Jösses vad toffliga de ser ut

Kan inte komma ihåg många mästerskap senaste 20 åren som haft så här många superlag? Känns som att det finns 8-10 lag som är überdominanta och kapabla till att hänga 3-4 mål på vem som helst?

Qatar är väl mästerskapets sämsta lag? Alla andra har ändå haft något - stabilt försvar, intressant kontringsspel, bra målvakt, kämpaglöd - men Qatar har ju inget. Rätt dåliga bakåt, inget alls framåt, klumpiga tekniskt, och ser allmänt inte särkilt intresserade ut. Sämst.

From the first kick to the last whistle, I just signed a law allowing bars and restaurants across the state to stay open till 4AM throughout the World Cup this summer! Cheers!

"there is only one majority in this country — that's the working class" is just a bar
Zohran on CBS: " I think what we can see is that a democratic socialist politics is one that should be judged on its delivery, like any ideology ...  I think that this is a politics that can flourish anywhere because, frankly, there is only one majority in this country — that's the working class and it's time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing and not as part of the appendix."

“I don’t think there is a system or style that guarantees you’ll win a final. But the journey is so much more fun done this way.” @GuillemBalagué analyzes why Barcelona won’t move away from their high-risk approach as long as Hansi Flick is in charge 👀

Svenska herrlandslaget i fotboll kan ta till sig av passionen i nationalsången som Juniorkronorna bjöd på nyss. Med samma passion kan även fotbollslandslaget få spela ett världsmästerskap i USA! Stäm upp i sång för världens vackraste land - Sverige!🇸🇪

Several contradictory things are simultaneously true: 1. Maduro was an oppressive, unpopular and illegitimate ruler, disastrous for his country and the region. 2. Using the US to remove him may have been equally illegitimate. 3. Venezuela would be better off with a new government under the opposition's Edmundo Gonzalez (who probably won the presidential election but is now exiled). 4. It's not clear that Maduro will be replaced by Gonzalez. Maduro's VP is still apparently in power, as are other regime figures and the Cubans who back them. 5. As we've seen in Iraq and Libya, it can be easier to topple a leader than to establish a new government; sometimes you get a worse leader, or Somalia-style chaos.

„In an internal memo from September, CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI’s “audacious long-term goal is to build 250 gigawatts of capacity by 2033.” If Altman achieves this goal, OpenAI will need almost exactly as much electricity as India’s 1.5 billion people, and is likely to emit nearly twice as much carbon dioxide as ExxonMobil, the world’s largest non-state carbon emitter.” Via Alan Kirk (h/t PCA Permaculture Climate Action) truthdig.com/articles/the-ec…

Han skriver som en sån JÄVLA boomer
Mästaren på signaler skickar ny signal om Ukraina. Om det ligger någon tyngd bakom orden eller ej återstår att se. Isåfall är det en betydande förändring av USA:s (och särskilt många republikan-politikers) inställning till kriget i Ukraina.
