Here are the standings for this season with two rounds completed. With victory in the first round and a healthy runner-up spot in Round Two, @nudge has a solid six-point lead at the top of the standings. @Dan is her closest competitor with a pair of top three finishes, but nobody else has more than half as many points as our leader.

I have a hard time believing the US would attack civilians of a NATO ally, tbh - which makes me think it's just Erdogan doing Erdogan things so he can block certain social media and rally against Kurds.

Today and the next 2 days are probably going to be the biggest days of the protests so far. Nationwide strikes resuming in nearly every industry & people protesting on the streets of the cities since 11am (it's nearly midnight right now).

Finding it VERY hard to see the relevance of this anecdote in relation to what's happening in Russia and Ukraine

Funny that I've always associated him with "that goal". I have no idea how good he is as a player .

Its always been rumoured behind the scenes Pavard has wanted to play CB. With Upa's resurgent form, De Ligt and Hernandez (who sounds much closer to extending his contract) there is no room for him as 4th in the pecking order. With Maz we've found an excellent replacement option at RB and Stanisic can deputize accross the entire backline we're pretty covered if hes to be sold this coming summer. Pavard had some loose comments yesterday about trying something new, we'll hes doubled down now so the time is coming. No hard feelings, hes actually played really well this season...Id love to extend him but dont begrudge him if this is what he wants as well.

Someone at FIFA saw what Activision was doing and said, "You know, I think we can do better" and here we are.

Now watch me fail all three upcoming rounds completely...

River City Girls on Steam (steampowered.com) Just finished this and have to say it's very entertaining. If you like Streets or Rage, the new TMNT game or a beat-em-up this is definitely worth the money.

Tbh I’m not even sure it was right to ban Russia from international tournaments for invading Ukraine. I obviously think their invasion was wrong - it’s clearly a crime against humanity. But it’s a bit fucking weird when countries have invaded other countries in our living memory… and they don’t get the same kind of treatment. I’m sure any Iraqis who saw Russia get banned for an illegal invasion probably thought “what the fuck?” At best, it comes off as just hugely hypocritical. At worst, it’s Europe & FIFA signaling to countries with brown people that their lives just aren’t worth as much as white peoples. And it’s a disgrace that the sale of weapons to Russia is what manages get the world pissed off about the Iranian government. Not like they hadn’t been slaughtering kids in the street for a month before this talk of kicking them out of the World Cup… and like you say, all the involvement in government & sport & women inclusion have been issues since this government came into power.

You should. Dr. Gonzo has done all the pre-requisite marketing.

Polish PM has just called for an urgent meeting of the National Security Committee. Not confirmed yet, but some news agencies are reporting that a suspected missile hit a village in Poland, killing two people EDIT: two suspected missiles in the village of Przewodów near the Ukranian border.

What the actual fuck?...

Netanyahu back in charge in Israel...
