Quando todo mundo achou que ele fosse chutar, depois da primeira cortada, ele foi lá e fez isso. ABSOLUTE CINEMA.

France England is always great sports' drama
But my favourite memory was the 2015 game, a few days after the Bataclan terrorist attac. The entire Wembley stadium sang the Marseillaise in solidarity
Gives me the chills every time
A very "cordial" gesture in a very dark moment

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Reminded of this scene from Metropolitan - "I don't read novels. I prefer good literary criticism." @WhitStillman

Yes. This is an essential point, the mangling of which has badly distorted our collective cultural understanding, and it's great to see it in the New York Times.
Really nice article about psychiatric diagnosis from today’s New York Times, by Awais Aftab, M.D. @awaisaftab

What's your "real" diagnosis? There isn't one.

I teach a class on genocide.
Studying genocide, you learn that evil deeds are committed by regular people, and that regular people contain monsters. Thinking "people like me would never do that" is dangerous.
From "An Ordinary Man," on the Rwanda genocide:

This is very moving. At yesterday's anti-Orbán concert in Heroes' Square in Budapest, the crowd cheer ex- posterboy for the Hungarian army, the erstwhile face of its recruitment campaign, now turned whistleblower Captain Szilveszter Pálinkás, visibly moved by his reception👇
He recently said : "Our government's attitude to Ukraine is an absolute joke. Orbán's Moscow-friendly stance has only weakened our homeland"

I’ve arrived back in Kyiv and the energy crisis has reached a point of humanitarian disaster. People are freezing in their homes. It’s no longer ok just to say ‘great resilience’ for coping. Ukraine needs huge support now & russia needs to be economically destroyed to stop this.

The government's stated rationale for this killing is that the victim was carrying a legal firearm.
The very people that told us we need to accept mass child slaughter for the right to protect ourselves from scary Obama, now say the govt can kill you if you possess a weapon.

Kids don't carry IDs, let alone proof of citizenship. And the ICE agents had no reasonable suspicion that made their stop of this kid legal. It's just constitutional and legal violations all the way down - and none of these guys will ever pay a price for it.
Photographer @mostafabassim1 photographed this boy walking home alone with a snack being "randomly" approached by DHS. "After he was unable to produce documentation proving his citizenship, agents informed him that he was under arrest." He said, "Can I just go home?" Answer: No.

In a free society, you should be allowed to go get a snack without worrying about being detained by masked men from the government. instagram.com/mostafa_bassim…

Don’t forget Ukraine, and don’t look away. Russia's attack, invasion, and attempted genocide should not be pushed out of the spotlight. It has only gotten worse as Trump‘s wheel of chaos spins faster and faster.
Most of Kyiv is without electricity, without heating. Many houses have no water. Because of Russia. I want you to understand the scale of the disaster. The population of Kyiv is now about 3-3.5 million people. It's almost like Berlin, Madrid or Rome. Imagine, half of Berlin is left without heating, water and electricity in the middle of severe frost?
