A beautiful summary of it. Completely insane.

Joey Barton is sore because he expected to get a pundits gig after his management career went in the shitter. When he began his grifter/podcaster/discourser career, he continually talked about punditry, saying you could only get on if you were a woman or black, he posted a video of his sons saying that he was fighting for them to get a gig as a pundit in the future - very odd to look at two young boys and say "if they work hard, they could get a gig as a summarisesr on Sky Sports in 30 years time!". He was clearly talking about himself.
He got most traction on the females in football thing, there isn't really space even among the grifter/podcaster/discourser world for saying that there's too many black pundits so he's leaned heavily into this now.
Ironically, his brother who just did twenty years in prison for murder probably has better career prospects than Joey.

Joey Barton is not the only person highlighting it, though.
I get people really want Scottish Domestic Women’s football to be good, but it just isn’t.
The reaction to any criticism of this display of goalkeeping is incredible tbh. This didn’t happen in an amateur Sunday League kick about - it was a national final broadcast on Satellite TV. It just shouldn’t be happening at that level
Joey Barton said it was "cosplay football" - not real football. He has said previously that women shouldn't do punditry on TV because women's football isn't real football. He clearly insinuated that women who worked in sports broadcasting got there because they'd had sex with decision makers. He's not saying "this is poor goalkeeping", which it obviously was.

Barton is such a loser.

Paul Slane does not have a hairy ass, if I recall the widely circulated video of him having sexual intercourse with a prostitute correctly.

The yanks seem to be going tonto about Door Dash, which I think is a Just Eat equivelent, and the acceptability or otherwise of ordering the majority of your food from there. Some truly insane takes, where people who want to overthrow the system and have a revolution explain in painful detail why they are unable to go to a shop, buy a microwave meal, bring it home, heat it and then consume it.

Ukraine launched a large scale missile attack on Sevastopol last night, with two landing ships and several communication centres hit. An oil depot in Crimea was also hit. Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russian oil facilities within Russia itself in the last few weeks, using newly constructed kamikaze drones that appear to be at least partly a reverse engineering of the Shahed drones.
At the same time as this, Russia have stepped up attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, with several dams hit, power facilities also damaged.

Death toll has gone up to more than 150. Russia claiming to have either killed or capture the attackers.
ISIS outlets have released video of the attack, complete with extreme violence, knife attacks etc. There’s also a video of one of the captured attackers being tortured - special police hold him down and cut off his ear which is then force fed to him.
One of the rifles used has been identified as an updated AK12, the most modern Kalashnikov variant. For all the schizoid pro Russian weirdos who have attributed attacks by everyone from Hamas to Mexican cartels to Ukrainian weapons sold on the black markets turns out its highly likely that the weapons used in this attack have been sourced from Russian forces.

This sounds like people making pathetic excuses for their own loose morals.
When I look around the groups of people I grew up with I don’t see a correlation between those from families who have experienced separations/affairs and those whose parents remained together. I have seen plenty of people trying to mirror their parents happy marriage and wanting to settle for the first partner they get and then running into difficulties later on in their relationships though so I can imagine some people will just assume they will end up the way their parents did.
I don’t think the subjects of the study were trying to make excuses for their behaviour!
I do think that if you grow up with a parent modelling certain behaviour then that’s bound to have an impact.

ISIS-K have claimed the attack, saying they were attacking Christians.
ISIS-K is the ISIS affiliate in Central Asia, mainly focused in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, as well as some former Soviet republics in the area. Earlier this year they claimed the bombing at the tomb of Iranian general Soleimani. Not sure they’ve ever attacked so far outside their home area before.
Reports are that at least some of the attackers managed to escape.

I remember reading years ago about Ryan Giggs’ dad, who was a rugby league player from Cardiff. He was something of a legend for the Manchester based Swindon Lions team, a mercurial talent who could destroy teams in his own but had discipline issues and off field problems. You can see a couple of his highlights on this clip from 2 minutes showing the kind of athleticism, pace and balance that Giggs would display throughout his career.
Giggs became estranged from his dad when his parents split up (hence the name change from Wilson to Giggs, his mothers maiden name). Giggs hasn’t spoken to his father for around 35 years, resulting from the traumatic split, which involved serial infidelity from Danny Wilson, and domestic abuse. When Giggs’ affair with his brothers wife came out his dad did a few interviews condemning his older son but in a few of them he basically admits that Ryan is behaving very similarly to the way he did.
It’s just fascinating to me that Giggs obviously realised that being unfaithful to your wife causes terrible pain and problems and he reacts by cutting his father out of his life but he then behaves in almost exactly the same way. How much of it is conscious, who knows.

Didn't Putin stage a similar event to justify military action before?
The apartment bombings in 1999 took place just as he took office as Prime Minister under Yeltsin.
A number of apartment blocks were blown up in various Russian cities, hundreds were killed. This pre-empted the outbreak of the Second Chechen war.
In Ryazan, local police arrested a number of men who they found planting a bomb in the basement of an apartment building. After being hailed as great police work, it was quickly established tbh at the men arrested planting the bomb were local FSB agents. The FSB then stated that the agents had been taking part in a drill and the bomb wasn’t viable, they were testing local police reactions. The cops who found the bomb were certain it was viable.
There are lots of proponents of this as a false flag - it could well be one but it’s also true that the war in a Chechnya was probably inevitable and that elements of the Chechen rebels would happily have blown up Russian apartments.

Here’s the screenshot from the TASS website of the reaction to the warnings.

There seems to have been a pretty large scale gun attack in Moscow. Several attackers have targeted a concert hall in the city, reports of dozens killed.
This sort of attack has been seen before on Moscow, Chechen and other Islamist groups carried out similar during the Chechen wars. Infamously a theatre was occupied with hostages taken in 2002, which ended with Russian special forces pumping gas into the venue and killing hundreds. There were reports of militants in Inigushetia a few weeks ago fighting local police but there hasn’t been a large scale attack on several years. Most of the radicals in the Caucausas went to Syria in the mid 2010s and almost all the leadership have been killed.
I’d be surprised if this was anything directly related to the war in Ukraine but as ever with Russia, who knows what will come out or what conclusions can be drawn?
Edited to add - the US publicly warned a few days ago of a potential terrorist attack in Moscow, specifically mentioning crowded venues and concerts. Putin dismissed this as “blackmail” and “an attempt to destabilise our society”.

Trying to think of worse media work than whoever was handling the press for the royals on this one. Appalling.

A study has found that infidelity is approximately 40-60% genetic in origin. This is approximately the same as the genetic contribution to high blood pressure, depression or suffering migraines.
No specific gene has been identified as influencing infidelity and researchers pointed out that they are not suggesting that our behaviour is non modifiable.
Will any P&Bers be using the “it’s in my genes!” defence when their other half catches them in flagrante?
Do any P&Bers have top shaggers as parents and feel their coitus-enthusiast families have the shagger genes?

I feel bad that starting that thread may mean people think I’m a gammony “these kids today” type of person. The people I know of that generation (zoomers are born between 1997 and 2012 I think) are very cool and together and in many ways far cleverer and more interesting than I was at their age. Ironically, one thing I find the Z-ers are far better at is food - until I was about 25 to 30 I had no interest in cooking or even eating out well, I just ate anything and focused socially on drinking. The kids I know through work and family are all much more refined in their tastes than I was or any of my mates were.
I feel there’s a specific subtype of person who gets drawn into the “DoorDash is about my human rights” stuff.
