The men in charge of making money from other men kicking balls into nets are giving a peace prize to a guy who’s in cahoots with their corrupt organization.

@jqmcd @Nonilex Buggered if I know. Some sort of enchanting charisma that us normal people are not sensitive to?

To be abundantly clear, #Trump had #FIFA create this “peace prize” for him.

It’s the equivalent of one of his BS wins of a golf tournament at his own golf course.

Also this is a football / soccer organization, they’re not exactly the arbiters of geopolitics or peace.

“Trump, who has openly campaigned for the Nobel Peace Price, had been expected to receive the NEWLY CREATED FIFA prize. He & FIFA president Gianni Infantino are close allies.”

🤦COVID continues to exert a serious toll on national health. The virus can affect multiple organs.
🤷Meanwhile, the UK restricts access to COVID vaccines, despite their vital role in reducing severe illness and protecting public health.

@mcnado Jesus that’s horrible. I didn’t realise that HBV is so infectious either.

The cruelty is the point as ever.

@PaulNickson it’s almost worse, because HBV is agnostic to wealth and privilege. It sits around waiting to infect you. Rich white guys getting care in a fancy hospital can still get it from the microscopic blood aerosolized in the room from a procedure a week ago. There’s no treatment unless the exposure is recognized early. It’s just a dice roll if you get persistent infection, and then your sexual partners will get it, and your kids may pick it up. Nasty little fucker.

@bridget

Even worse: set up medium sized EMPs near all the data centers - that way, the damage is done, but you have to go through all the servers to find out which ones blew up...

Somebody should set off large EMPs near all the AI data centers as a prank.

@mcnado This is eugenics.

This is why I love the internet... there's always somebody willing to compute.

There is a clip that exists but I can't find right now. It's Johnny Cash in serious amphetamine withdrawal on a live TV show. It looked a lot like this guy.

@spytfyre If by infinitely you mean it’ll be an infinity before we see the #EpsteinFiles then I agree it’s a good word choice.

@PaulNickson infinitely. If I can use that word.

@spytfyre At least X-Files was entertaining.

@spytfyre You’re right. That makes it all so much worse.

@PaulNickson but no Scully. 0 stars
