🧵 Announced on my IG (@benparva) yesterday, but I am honored to have one of my poems, "Lament for Icarus", selected for publication in the first edition of @SpaceCityMag! #publishedpoet #poetry #classicalstudies

They cheated for like 9 years right? divide it up over that amount of time. Heavy in the beginning to cause multiple relegations, then more minor in subsequent seasons to keep them down/out of Europe.
🚨💣 If Everton received an 8-point deduction for a £25m breach of Premier League rules… 🔵😭
Then Manchester City would be looking at roughly a 288-point deduction for a £900m breach.
There’s not much point handing out that kind of punishment if they decide to impose the entire deduction in just one season.
oh they KNEW
🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: In January 2025, Erling Haaland renewed his contract with Manchester City until 2034.
His previous deal, running from 2022 to 2027, contained a relegation release clause that would have allowed him to leave automatically.
City removed those exit clauses when he signed the new contract.
Any departure now would require negotiation, with the club controlling the price and choosing the buyer.
The same applies to other senior signings:
🇦🇷 — Enzo Fernández
🏴 — Elliot Anderson
🏴— Marc Guéhi
🇬🇭 — Antoine Semenyo
🇮🇹 — Gianluigi Donnarumma
If a player wants to leave, it will only happen through negotiation and only if the club wishes to sell. There is no contractual button they can press on their own.

The most consistent theme of conservatism is being completely unable/unwilling to understand how a thing is bad until it happens to you.
Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member.
It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

Not the end or path I wanted to see for this amazing talent. He was never good as some thought but he was so much better than his haters portrayed him.
He didn't do enough on his end but neither did Milan.
15th in Goals, 6th in Assists. Rafa was incredible.
Thank you for #19
Fun fact for this narrative: Santi's goal rate at Milan (7g in 37 app) was similar to his time at Cruz Azul (21g in 105 app)....maybe Feyenoord (65g in 105 app) was an outlier and the Dutch League is rated lower by UEFA for a reason.

🚨 Before Sean Bean became known in Hollywood as the actor who “always dies,” he was already tired of dying so early in films. He once told his agent, “I don’t want to be on the first ship that sinks anymore.”
But when Peter Jackson offered him the role of Boromir, Bean learned that the character dies at the end of the first film.
He reportedly loved the idea, saying, “So I’m going all the way to New Zealand for just one film, get a great death scene, and come home? That’s right up my street!” He jumped at the role, especially because it was so short-lived.

I know nothing should surprise me anymore but to see establishment Democrats who spent all of 2024 insisting - demanding! - that everyone had to vote for the Dem candidate, ‘BLUE NO MATTER WHO’, to stop Trump, now saying they can’t bring themselves to vote for a left Dem candidate to stop Trump and MAGA is just astonishing.
Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan’s Democratic primary has complicated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s plans to help Democrats retake the Senate in the November, tying his party’s fortunes to a candidate some Democrats say they cannot support. wapo.st/4idISp8

We do want voter ID though. Go ahead. Issue every citizen a free ID that's easy and free to update/replace and require bringing that to vote. Oh? That's not what you meant? You just want everyone to jump through hoops to vote? Gotcha, stfu then.

I'm STUNNED at how many people are upset with this call.
We've been screaming about diving for YEARS, and finally something is done, and we hate it?
Cmon people! You got what you wanted!
Who? Who from Milan is "actively monitoring" anyone? The non-existent SD, TD, Manager, and CEO? The owner who knows nothing about football? The arrogant advisor currently in the US for the WC?

We don’t deserve Leão man…
Sacrificed his body all season for the club, endured all kinds of hate from the fanbase, and played out of position for the balance of the squad, even at his own detriment.
And still doesn’t abandon us.
I love him so much❤️
🚨 Leao does not want to leave Milan and has already communicated his desire to Ibrahimovic. His intention is to try to rise again along with the team

It’s funny how Milan wanted to save money and be economically smart. They consistently cut corners and it ended up costing them 10’s of millions by missing Europe and UCL in consecutive years
