If people wish to keep the World Cup conversation to just sporting considerations that’s cool. There is NO sporting merit to Qatar being the host of this World Cup. There were so many more deserving candidates. Is that not something we can all agree on? #endfifa

Does #infantino mean little child? Because he certainly behaved like one at that conference today. Tone deaf is putting it mildly!

Bravo!

Slava Ukraini!

Ukrainian army just reached the centre of Kherson city.

This is too funny

I’ve been banging on about this quirky human tendency with mind blowing consequences and finally someone with an audience is putting it out there!!

It’s not surprising. We want to forget that we kill 76 billion farm animals a year to please our palates. We call ourselves animal lovers, yet if we did to dogs and cats what we do to farm animals, we would find ourselves in prison. The cognitive dissonance is deafening.

Nice human interest article on Ukraine frontlines:

I wonder what the US midterm results would have been like if there had been no Russian interference. Presumably all the ripples would be blue?

Location settings now changed!

For anyone who loves history, this is just fantastic

Finally, someone who understands what we’re actually looking at: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

To my friends in the media:
This is a time of high drama, I agree. But while you gossip endlesly about who's in and who's out, you have almost entirely ignored the Public Order Bill that was passed in the Commons this week: the most draconian legislation of the modern era.

Third terms rarely work well for a leader, and looks like both XI and China are making a huge error with this effective coronation. The lack of checks and balances will harm Chinas long term interests

If the answer is Boris Johnson, you haven’t understood the question.

Great article on government’s limited ability to affect the economy. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest. theguardian.com/books/2022/oct…

It’s fascinating to observe how #russia acts with reckless abandon in targeting civilians and critical infrastructure, but the moment Ukraine successfully hits a legitimate precision target, they cry foul play. It’s cringeworthy, pathetic & weak

In case we didn’t already know it, putin has absolutely zero class. Would be gloriously ironic if he’s not afforded a state funeral for his instrumental role in bringing down the Russian Federation…

The biggest enemy to progress is a victim mentality. Anyone wish to challenge that?
