Why is it that no one says India is not diverse enough? or China? Or Singapore? Or Mali? Or Mexico etc?
But Ireland, America, France, Italy, Canada & so on, all these majority white countries have to be diverse or there is something fundamentally wrong with them?
So diversity is only needed if a society if majority white?

From people don’t say: Spurs & Liverpool FC are charging schools £20,000+ a year for “partnerships” where they send in often below par and novice coaches.
Where most schools don’t catch on is that, these are run from the commercial arm of the club and not the coaching side.
💸 £120 per hour for one-to-one coaching at Chelsea
💸 £2,035 a week for Arsenal camps
💸 Private school partners with Chelsea for “six-figure sum”

Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.
Yes. Not the first example of horrific comments by unhinged
& angry Celtic “fans.”
But respect us…listen to us…🤡
Failure to condemn these comments makes you complicit btw.
If a rangers podcaster said this about Dermot Desmond, @HumzaYousaf would be on the phone to @PoliceScotland
Looking forward to debating the good folks @ReadCeltic on the 29th (to be confirmed) on the Celtic FC board.
As a “sycophantic board shitebag” 😀 It will be a learning experience & hopefully some constructive dialogue follows.
😉
3 points. Mixed performance. Looked great in pockets, looked disjointed and stretched in others. Murray 👏.
On we go.
Have a great Sunday everyone.

He's right on point.
Nobody cares about a man’s mental health until it turns into anger... then suddenly everybody got something to say about “what kind of man he is.”
Meanwhile the whole time he’s been out here swallowing pressure, bills, heartbreak, fear, and still showing up smiling like everything’s good. Ask him if he’s straight and you’ll get the classic “yeah man I’m good” every single time... even when he ain’t.
Men don’t stop talking because they don’t feel sh!t. They stop talking because they learned early that nobody really wants the real answer.
That last part about flowers at the funeral? Wow. Give that man his flowers while he can still smell them.
Tag a brother who needs to hear this.
And be honest... when was the last time you checked on a man and actually meant it?

Everybody wants honest communication until the honest communication is about something they did.
Then suddenly, your tone is the main issue.

Everything older people said would happen with modern child rearing has happened. And the young parents scream and stamp their feet because they know it's true, but they want no responsibility.
It all happened:
-Picky eater explosion, catered to with special meals
-Terrified to do normal things like walk a half mile to school; weren't allowed, mommy chauffered
-Won't make eye contact, can't respond normally to small talk, got "diagnosed" with "autism." Mommy gave them phones when young
-Think they're the opposite sex, or a cat, or an animal. Mommy didn't want to challenge them and damage their self-esteem.
-Can't even *understand* what nested file folder are, paper or digital. Literally don't understand information hierarchy. Were given phones and apps from childhood
-Narcissistic to an extreme degree. Selfish, rude, and demanding, all while being incompetent.
Lots of factors, but they all boil down to inadequate parenting. Too many moms and too few dads (and weak dads when they're around).
Mommie's role is supposed to diminish as the children age; dad is supposed to introduce them to self sufficiency and the wider world.
Even in married households, Mommie's Kindergarten Rules go all the way through childhood while Dad sits in the cuck chair watching his children get handicapped by an out of control broody hen.
Every single thing "stupid old people" said would happen did happen.

Apols for sharing an article from this source, but it made me smile.
A larger issue which is bubbling under the surface is the growing disconnect between the club & some of the fan base. The club doesn’t need chaos merchants, but the chaos merchants think they are > the club.
Celtic ultras the Green Brigade kicked off their well-publicised boycott of home matches in Europe vs Celta Vigo last night ❌
But it didn't stop Celtic Park hosting the biggest attendance of all Matchday Three matches in the Europa League 🧐
In all, a crowd of 48,374 watched the Hoops go down to a 2-1 defeat to the La Liga outfit 📉
That's more than the 41,554 at Juventus vs Rennes, the 38,662 at Besiktas vs Crystal Palace and four times the 12,130 crowd who watched Bournemouth beat Italian giants AC Milan 3-0! 😲

😔😥😔 You can feel the pain in Tom Homan’s voice when he talks about children rescued from child trafficking.
As a woman & a mother, I’m 💔
"We just found one two days ago. A 14-year-old little girl. Living with two adult males. Who trafficked her. We found her, she’s pregnant. From trafficking forced into prostitution. 14 years old. We are taking care of her. Both physically and mentally.
Despite what the media says, we are not heartless. We care about these kids. I am a father. I’ve held dying children. I’ve held dead children. I’ve talked to little girls as young as 9 that were raped multiple times by the criminal cartels. You never forget it. When you get on your knees to talk to a 9 year old girl, when everything innocent & pure was ripped from her & she doesn’t believe in humanity anymore after having a bunch of animals crawl on her, taking everything from her. You never forget it.
That shit is happening every day. We are going to put an end to it.”
Thank GOD for TOM HOMAN 🙏
Good. Maybe holding people accountable for their actions will become a theme?

In 2014, Gideon Rose, then editor-in-chief of Foreign Affairs, laid bare,remarkably openly,Washington’s ambitions to drag Ukraine into its own sphere of influence.
The danger of provoking a military confrontation with Russia was perfectly foreseeable.
Had Russia attempted to pull Mexico or Canada into its military orbit, Washington would never have tolerated it for a second.
The Cuban Missile Crisis alone makes that abundantly clear.
Yet the US expected Russia to accept the very kind of strategic encroachment that America itself would regard as an intolerable threat.
And the hypocrisy becomes even more glaring when one considers that, at the time, only a minority of Ukrainians supported NATO membership.
This was not simply a matter of defending democracy; it was also about power, geopolitical dominance, and Washington’s determination to expand its influence,regardless of the risks of dragging Ukraine and the wider world toward a catastrophic confrontation.

If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

He is raising the bar on interviews with athletes. 👏
Mindset, safety, security, mental models, flow state, ego, self - it’s all there.
Incredible.
To the interviewers - thanks. Just let this guy talk.
