It appears that Southgate has finally figured out the best player in England with the ball should be getting the ball 🤔

learned about this from reading sportswriting as a kid

one of the most dishonest things people in my profession do is pretend as if “the story” and “the narrative” isn’t something they have direct control over

I live in the “Data Center capital of the world” and tech companies are trying to develop on historic Black cemeteries. This increased demand for computing power is a climate justice as well as a racial Justice issue.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Breaking news: President Biden and his senior team said they accepted the grim ultimatum they’ve been hearing from almost all quarters of the Democratic Party — to demonstrate his fitness for office or face a significant effort to force him to step aside.

Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

"In contrast, Kentucky's approach, widely known as "Casey's Law," predicates such involuntary commitment on the third party's willingness to commit in advance to pay for the patient's treatment. " seems totally fine!

hi bluesky 👋 long time no talk! These last few months, we've been organizing at an incredible rate (460+ stores now fully unionized!), and 100s of workers are finally at the bargaining table making good progress on the foundations of our contracts. Sign our pledge to get national/regional updates👇

Glad to see this piece on the New Popular Front from Piketty and Cagé. While almost all the attention has been on the gains by the right, the success of a unified left with an ambitious program seems like just as an important story from the French elections. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
