Initially I mentioned the politics of who is supporting him despite the damning evidence, but said nothing about his own politics. Make of that what you will. And maybe ask yourself why those people are enthusiastically supporting him.

By the way, I'm quite certain nobody on here particularly cares what Brand's political views are or if he even believes what he says, but it's telling that the people who are supporting him on Twatter this weekend are on the political Right. They support him because they view him as one of their own, and when it comes to their own, they'll excuse every bad deed imaginable, while holding their perceived political enemies to a much higher standard. Just look at Trump's cult members.

This already?

Guilty as charged, Segundo, I AM biased against people with political/world views different than my own. I believe most of them are vulnerable to propaganda and I don't necessarily hold it against them, but I definitely hold it against people who wield power and influence, like Tate and Peterson. And I've "researched" enough of Peterson to determine that he's a vapid, conspiratorial, misogynistic clearing in the woods and that despite that, or much more likely because of it, he's a hero to the incel-Q Anon-Alt Right-Andrew Tate crowd. Peterson provides their misogyny and conspiracy mongering a veneer of professorial respectability, which makes him even more reprehensible, *in my opinion*. Just because you don't agree with the majority of the posters in this thread, or me in particular doesn't mean we aren't applying critical thinking to how we form our opinions.

Yep. They are queueing up to support a "groomer" because he's a useful celebrity advocate of their right wing Q-Anon world view, which includes exposing "groomers" as it's primary animating feature.

Nothing doing for Chelsea yet again

Do they sell better beer than Amstel?

Set up the winning penalty. Would love to see him play the full 90 in Warsaw.

I really hope he continues to build his confidence and bang in the goals.

Scored the 4th latest goal in PL history today.

The United Auto Workers strike presents a challenging conundrum for the American Left wing who historically support striking workers. The primary point of contention for UAW is the threat to jobs posed by the transition to electric vehicles, which the Left obviously supports as well. It poses a big problem for Biden and the Democrats heading into the election next year. Trump and the Republicans will seize on this by saying the "coastal elite" Dems want to destroy blue collar jobs in the heartland by mandating the switch to EVs. It will be a very effective wedge issue for the GOP. Ultimately, the switch has to happen and plants that make mufflers and fuel injectors etc. will have to close or be retrofitted to make batteries. But there will be inevitable layoffs, because you need fewer workers to manufacture batteries. It's a real bitch of a situation.

Eventually they'll get a sponsor for everything. Set piece, throw-in, First goal scorer, ETC.

This has been a terrible game

An inspired and inspiring goal by Durán, and a savvy move by Emery to bring him on and completely turn the game around. Cool as you like from Douglas at the spot and happy for Leon to seal it, he played well today. It looked to me like Ollie was impeded before the defender touched the ball. It was a fluke Palace goal to begin with, so we deserved to win that, penalty or not.

A healthy Moreno will give our attack a sharper edge.

Crazy Train by Ozzy is a lame song, sorry

Ollie looking like Ollie from 12 months ago. Could be a good opportunity for Archer to step up and challenge him for more playing time if......HE WASN'T SOLD IN THE TRANSFER WINDOW

Diaby and Cash seem to have a good understanding.

Zaniolo is a thriller

The MAGA-Incel-Q Anon-Jordan Peterson-Andrew Tate fan boy crowd are predictably flocking to Brand's defense.

No way

That blob is heading right for me, and I'm on the coast. The winds are just starting to pick up and there's sporadic bursts of pouring rain. We don't get big tropical storms up here that much, and by the time it reaches Maine and Nova Scotia, it likely wont even qualify as a hurricane. But it will still be a big storm. High tide here should be interesting.

For doing what?
