Trump ceases to amaze how much attention he's able to generate , either positive or negative

He’s very good at playing the media. That’s his main skill.

He can also be funny although part of why it’s funny is that his behaviour is so childish and trashy and unusual for someone in his position.

A lot of it was ‘The president/former president of the US said what?’

You often find the types who were glad the US lost are the same types who tell us nobody watches or cares about the women’s game.

Anyway, decent tournament from Japan although I’m sure the manager would have given them a kick up the arse at half-time v Sweden.

Still, a young side. Definitely room for optimism.

'Woke left scolds' upset they can no longer 'censor Twitter'

A wonderful intro to an objective view.

The last time I was this impressed was a link to ‘Louder with Crowder’.

it’s summer, it’s hot. Show me heat in winter or a typhoon 2 months outside of typhoon season we can talk

I’m pretty sure this is not what Galileo would have said if he were here now.

”Doctor, the patient is running a temperance over 40 degrees Celsius”

”Yawn, wake me up when he spontaneously combusts”.

You told us you had multiple degrees in the sciences.

Which majors?

Overall, the US economy is in reasonable shape.

Certainly in better shape than the one Biden inherited.

That was a flaming wreck.

Hard to predict Liverpool this season - could be anything from 2nd to 7th.

Hope someone can stop City this season but can't see it.

I just hope Everton can reach mid-table mediocrity.

With a 4:30pm JST kick off, I'd hope most Japanese bosses will be giving their staff an early mark this afternoon!

As Wallace mentioned, it’s a public holiday in Japan. A ‘day off’.

Anyway, looks like an interesting game. The bookies have Japan as favourites here at a shade longer than evens.

@Yubaru

I wouldn’t get too bothered about nicknames.

Football players are not ‘Samurai’ either. They are football players.

The Aussie women’s team are not all called Miatilda. The England team are not large African carnivores either.

 In “The Weight,” with its lead vocals passed around among group members like a communal wine glass,

Me, my brother and my dad used to do this at Christmas. I was the weakest link on guitar and vocals but wonderful memories.

Robbie Robertson wrote and played beautiful things.

yet I find it totally unappealing and just part of a trend to make it seem that women are the same as men in all respects, when that is not the case

You are looking at this the wrong way. Very similar to those who watch rightwing North American podcasts and sulk - then get a bit hysterical and hissy about sport they don’t watch. It’s all very childish.

If the women played their nations international men’s teams they would lose about 20-0

Possibly. But again, get past the sulking and look at the product itself.

The women’s game is growing very impressively. It is already much bigger than many men’s sports in terms of worldwide viewership. Absolutely destroys many.

As you’d agree, football is without doubt the biggest and best sport on the planet. Could it reach a point where the women’s game is the second most watched sport after the men’s game? The growth has been extraordinary. Personally, I’d rather watch women’s football than men’s ice-hockey.

Anyway, the grown-up thing to do is say well done. Like you would to the Barbie director who has made an absolute blockbuster even if you are upset and sulking about it.

It’s more adult and worthy of respect.

The logical fallacy is to suppose that because he created us, he must necessarily approve of everything we do

So he created people with the desire to have sex with people of the same sex, but disapproves of them having sex with people of the same sex despite having created them with the desire to have sex with people of the same sex in the first place?

Did he do it to trigger himself?

What a loser. We MAGA know the truth, beyond all reasonable facts and evidence

I’m not getting into a debate with a modern day Galileo.

Too much under the bonnet.

DeSantis is a gibbering crackpot.

Doesn’t even believe the 2020 election was stolen.

No wonder Trump’s spanking him in the polls with the modern day Galileos.

The Swedish government is looking at whether its laws on maintaining public order could be modified. It has ruled out making it illegal to burn holy scriptures

I’d remove the word ‘holy’ from this.

Which ones are ‘holy’ is a matter of opinion for the religious themselves. They can often have very strong feelings on the matter. Some places actually ban some ‘holy’ scriptures they don’t like.

Best refer to them as just ‘scriptures’.

And the Chinese Flag as well as pictures of Xi.

This is a good point. I remember Turkey tried to pressure a European government to do something about a comedian ridiculing Erdogan.

Always tell these types where to shove it.

“I’m from a country ( the UK ) where we don’t think like this on every matter, particularly on matters to do with science.”

That statement is utterly hilarious!

I’d say it’s reasonably accurate.

Where are you from mate? The UK?

@CigarCowboy

The ‘fear porn’ line is so dull now. It’s been regurgitated too much.

It’s very rightwing North American podcast-ish.

The ‘liberals’ thing is getting boring. Not all live in a world of ‘libs v conservatives’ on every matter. I’m from a country ( the UK ) where we don’t think like this on every matter, particularly on matters to do with science.

You are a new poster here. Honestly mate, it’s been done to death.

Talk about a play on words. Why write about it then if it’s not like before unless of course you need to push that fear porn

Another one.

Yet again, the hysterical types are those terrified of Covid and those who see any article about it as spreading fear.

The latter are usually the most vocal.

’Liberals refuse to believe’

Yawn.

What next? Drag shows and grooming?

It’s hard for subtle trolls to stay subtle for long

At least there hasn’t been any mix up with writing styles today.

These noble fellow mammals have been at our side building our civilizations for centuries.

Treat them with the respect they deserve.

Whether we won by default is open to interpretation

?

 but we won because we missed less penalties than the other side.

I think the more usual way of looking at is England won because they scored more penalties than Nigeria in the shoot-out.

This method of settling a match has been used for decades and all teams entering the knockout stage are aware of it.

The more prepared teams should have their players practice pens. It is test of technique and nerve.

England edged Nigeria in this.

They go through. Simple.

Wouldn’t military aid from Obama have been profligate spending and potentially kicked off WW3?

In 2014, no.

What changed in this specific situation?

Don’t support Ukraine militarily - spineless.

Support Ukraine - profligate spending and warmongering. Potentially kicking off WW3.

The mind of the partisan is quite something, isn’t it?

timing.

But how does that change the following:

Support Ukraine - profligate spending and warmongering. Potentially kicking off WW3.

Militarily

Had an actual backbone and supported Ukraine militarily.

So those who didn't support Ukraine military lacked backbone?

Interesting.

Moving to the present...

I can't get my head around England winning a penalty shoot-out; though it was kind of by default

Kind of by default?

So not by default?

Interesting expression.

Nigeria were better than England

England looked flat and out of ideas.

Nothing like the level they were at during the Euros. Still time to pick it up but that performance won’t make too many fear them.

”Almost a third of Americans still believe the 2020 election result was fraudulen

So many modern day Galileos.

The future looks bright. Why Goldman Sachs and NASA aren’t banging their doors down is the mystery.

He’ll be denying Jewish space lasers start forest fires next.

The poor man needs help.

Gone right down the rabbit hole.

“Of course he lost,” DeSantis said an interview with NBC News posted Monday. “Joe Biden's the president.”

What a loon.

He’ll be telling people Ted Cruz’s father wasn’t in on the JFK assassination next.

Totally lost the plot.

Barbie’ joins $1 billion club

Proof? Who verified this? How do we know it really is $1 billion?

Just because the media says so?

Frantic attempts to save the patient here.

I think it’s time to call a priest in to administer the last rites on ‘Go woke, go broke’.

Let it go.
