A club guilty of a decade-long scheme to submit false financial information to the league, for the purpose of securing an unfair on-field advantage, should not only be thrown out of the league and have all its titles vacated, its owner should be compelled to sell the club.

This AI discourse is amazing. "We've created this very dangerous thing, based largely on the mass theft of labour, that we should stop developing" - okay, so that means that you should be treated like social and economic vandals, not revered as sages on podcasts.

The Jays have 13 guys in the injured list, including eight on the 60-day IL, I'm sure the problem this season is that John Schneider allowed the home run jacket to return.

Disney+ has been criticised by viewers after an advert break interrupted the second half of Tuesday’s live television coverage of Arsenal’s opening Women’s Champions League fixture.

The whole point of VAR is to correct mistakes, but they're saying unanimously that even though it was wrong, it shouldn't have warranted a review.
This is why people get angry and don't trust the system or ProRef because the way they interpret things doesn't make sense.

KMI panel ruled 5 to 0 that John Brookes had made an incorrect call awarding the penalty to Sunderland for what he viewed as a foul by Ezri Konsa on Dan Ballard.
However by 3 to 2 they viewed it as correct that VAR didn’t intervene.

Very apprehensive about this match. I'm hoping for a laughter of a 3-0 win to alleviate some (*some*) of my concerns.

I consistently point out that governments in this country routinely violate the charter rights of workers and the modal Canadian does not care because they think strikes are inconvient.
Do a mental find-replace. If a minister could abrogate the rights of women on a whim, are you okay with that?

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske.
Holy shit. This is bad.

In Canada, OneSoccer, which is unilaterally considered to be the worst streamer here with absolutely horrible customer service (and apps!) nominally has the rights to the Women's Champions League. It's not listed on their website. There is no evidence that they carry the CL, which starts tomorrow.

So how many AWFC fans are fighting the daily intrusive thought of "why hasn't Fox re-signed? Also, why would she re-sign for this club at this moment when she could play for any club in the world?"

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Tonight's libations, an Irish Maid.
2oz Irish Whiskey
1/2oz St. Germaine
1/2oz Simple
3/4oz Lemon
2 - 3 cucumber slices, muffled.
It works better than I expected. The elderflower really bridges the whiskey to the cucumber. Balanced and refreshing.

What is frustrating, to me, about AWFC, is that on paper they should be winning a lot of games by a multiple goal margin. To be fair, they've shown they can. But more often than not it's just sluggish play and failing to convert chances.

Carney is planning to, functionally, end the right to strike in federally regulated workplaces. Exhausting as it is to point this out, this is significantly more conservative than anything Harper did *and* is likely unconstitutional.
