And when a bunch of the people slated for relocation can't move because of family/finance obligations... "Oh dear, I guess we'll have to let you go and replace you with one of the maga fanatics who signed up back in 2024 to work for the federal government!"

This is so obviously an exercise in packing government agencies/departments with loyalists. Professional expertise or competence be damned.

Ah tell yew hwat, that would have never occurred to me before.

Another reason to hate Chelsea.

I started using it right after they launched their streaming service. Back then it was awesome. No ads, nice UI, and lots of great content, so for a good price.

But that was a long time ago.

I cancelled my subscription several months ago. And I should have done it much sooner. The difference between what is was way back in the day and what it is now is jarring.

I think a lot of people keep paying for nostalgia reasons, and because of a futile hope that Netflix might somehow go back to that earlier version. In retrospect I think that was a big part of why I kept my subscription for as long as I did (which was obviously a mistake on my part).

The leopards are going to become morbidly obese from this round of eating. Someone had better get them a bunch of "fat shots", stat.

How many times have HBO changed their flagship product(s) names now? Seems like they do this every 6-12 months.

Now, the company says it imagines an "Uber-type of setup" to fill their ranks, with gig workers logging in remotely to argue with customers from the comfort of their own homes.

So they're using their spectacular failure as a chance to exploit their new 'employees' via the gig economy.

Fuck them. They have learned nothing about respect or decency, and I hope they continue to crash and burn.

Screw it. Move MLS up to defensive midfield, play Cala or Tierney at left back, play Nwaneri in the 8 slot, and stick Martinelli up front. We should also give some sub time to a couple of academy players who have been waiting patiently and unused on the bench for a while.

He should just come out and announce that he worships Nurgle.

 

Arsenal have offered centre-back Will Sweet a professional contract ahead of next season.

Sweet enjoyed an impressive campaign which included him making ten appearances for the U21s as well as featuring in the UEFA Youth League.

The Hale End product wore the captain’s armband yesterday as he made his final appearance at U18 level in a 3-0 win away to Aston Villa.

 

We became the first team, either domestically or in European competition, to beat Madrid at the Bernabeu on each of our first two visits.

We also became the first English side to win there twice.

It was also just the fourth time in Real's history that they had lost a European Cup or Champions League game by an aggregate margin of four or more.

We are the Arsenal!

 
 

Delivered by Ornstein himself, no less!

"It was driven by managing director Richard Garlick and executive vice-chair Tim Lewis, with Josh Kroenke involved throughout on behalf of the ownership and input from manager Mikel Arteta.

"Berta prioritised Arsenal above a number of other top-level opportunities and those suitors have been told about the 53-year-old’s decision."

 

Arteta has challenged his team to step up amid the absences and, before Saturday's Premier League clash against Leicester City, revealed that star centre-back Saliba, 23, is willing to step up.

Saliba began his career as a forward at AS Bondy and was coached by Kylian Mbappé's father, Wilfried. He dropped to centre-back as a teenager at Montfermeil and has played in the position since.

"Willy always says, 'I'll play as a striker, I'll play,' " Arteta said.

"Willy is so funny, straight away it was one of his reactions. It's true as well that he played there. He used to score a lot of goals.

"But probably a lot of players played there when they were younger. All the options are welcome. We are going to have to be creative."
