In the US, the “left” is oversimplified to mean anyone who is a Democrat. Anyone who believes in progressive tax policies, global warming, gun control, equal pay for equal work, more abortion access, etc. The “far left” are the fringe parties in the US- Green and Socialists - maybe 2% of the...

I am “the left” in America. I am trying to explain to (mostly) British- how Trump could possibly win the presidency. It is due to the fact that the majority of moderates have voted against Kamala Harris. NOT in favor of Trump- but against the Democratic policies. The surprising factor to...

I saw Phil Lesh play 88 times with the Dead and a few times with various Dead & Co shows. He was formally trained in orchestral music but became a phenomenal bassist for the seminal jam band. Many great memories of his rib-shaking bass playing… nice tribute tonight at the Empire State Building

The real problem in America is that our primary process favors the extremes in both parties. This leaves a vacuum in the middle. There are no moderates to support. We used to have “Rockefeller Republicans” and “Blue Dog Democrats” that were fiscally to the right but more to the left on social...

The fact that someone thought “I need to manufacture these bags!” and then someone else thought, “brilliant! I want to sell them.” and another said, “here is my money, ship one to me, please.” = staggering process

Diego Gomez was MOTM in Paraguay’s 4-2 win over Israel in the Olympics… prelude: Gomez assisted Enciso who blasted a rocket 🚀 to give them the lead.

Bart! JPvH—Dunk— Barco Hinshelwood—Weiffer—Gross Minteh—Buenonotte—Mitoma Pedro

Rather than wait and see bigger clubs (over)pay for our starting XI. Leaving us short on talent in key areas on the pitch… we now stock the cupboard… and I wonder “how many players will fit on the bus?” the strategy seems to have shifted, eh? Or, as Mel Brooks said, “It’s good to be the king!”

- Ferguson healthy and hungry - Mitoma delivering his Doctorate thesis to defenders again - Wiefer fitting right in and bringing energy and aggressiveness - ACD, Minteh and Osman adding much needed pace - Hinchelwood, Buonanotte and Enciso and Barco maturing into top talents - Solly fully...

The Luxury Tax schemes in the NBA and MLB are based on each team’s total for players salaries. They do not impact trading players- just the wages. It seems to me that the leverage that big clubs have in the PL is wielded primarily in the transfer markets - and less so in weekly wages. The NBA...
