HT: Man United 2-2 #AVFC
Chaos. Villa 2-0 up after 4 minutes meant it wouldn’t be anything else. United have one mode, which is end to end basketball. Villa clearly a huge threat with Jackson and Manzambi down the left and whenever they make at least three passes, they expose United’s openness in midfield. But Villa vulnerable with both FBs & like much of this season, give the ball away in poor areas and concede too many chances. For United, this is simply too inviting.
At HT, this is where Villa have to put one winger into the backline without the ball and show they can learn from mistakes previously here, because they haven’t so far.

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

With this and Christa Pike, it seems to me that too many discussions of capital punishment revolve around whether it’s deserved and not the moral damage engaging in a culture of death does to us as humanity, regardless of the crime.

And this is *exactly* why we need independent journalism, folks. And the only hope of that is if people pay for it. This is not news, it's propaganda.

Após a conferência de imprensa do Selecionador Nacional, e no seguimento de uma conversa com o Presidente da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, tomei a decisão de deixar o estágio da Seleção Nacional.
A seu tempo, direi a verdade a todos os Portugueses sobre as razões que motivaram a minha saída da equipa nacional, à qual sempre me dediquei.
Agora é tempo de desejar boa sorte a Portugal e a todos os meus companheiros de equipa, sem exceção.

Garcia: So, to be clear, we have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russians and oligarchs that have connections to Putin. We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East.
We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that’s being promoted, oftentimes through government resources. We also have, of course, this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family.
And, of course, the sons sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government. The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they’re stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans, they’re stealing the hard-earned labor and wealth of working-class people, and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country.
As they get richer, costs go up for the American people. And we know that Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit by not calling out this corruption.

Astounding story. Reform receives a *second* £36m donation from a crypto billionaire in 48 hours.
Christopher Harborne- the £5m benefactor- has matched Ben Delo's money pound for pound.
£72m in total. Approaching US politics sort of money.

El jugador australiano de rugby Jai Arrow tuvo que retirarse tras ser diagnosticado con una enfermedad de la neurona motora, cuando estaba a solo dos partidos de alcanzar los 100 encuentros con su club, los South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Su equipo consiguió una autorización especial para que pudiera ser titular en los dos últimos partidos de la temporada regular y fuera sustituido apenas unos segundos después de comenzar. Incluso los equipos rivales apoyaron la iniciativa.
Y este fue el momento en el que alcanzó los 100 partidos.
Después de tantos años compartiendo vestuario con tus compañeros, salir al campo junto a ellos puede parecer algo normal. Solo podemos imaginar lo que significó para Jai volver a ponerse esa camiseta y pisar el césped una vez más junto a los suyos.
