One of the strangest things I've ever seen in football today.
Taulant Xhaka is eventually retrieved from the tunnel after a VAR review to allow the referee to rescind his second yellow card for violent conduct... and give him a straight red instead.

Between the massive media layoffs, the looming bankruptcy of Vice, the studios forcing the writers into a strike & the rise of A.I. there's been a grotesque devaluation of imagination & creativity – during a time where it feels like people are more desperate for it than ever.

i think the most impressive thing here is how long he waits to wipe his gob. he's got it all over him and, as the media scrum closes in, he takes a beat to simply wallow in it.

the ted lasso-fication of the brilliant, thoughtful documentary this is based on pains me in a very specific way. even in the totally superfluous world of modern cinema, this is completely pointless lol

finally reading CHAOS and i wasn't expecting this. for a subject so pitch-dark, it's got a real lightness of touch and humour. and despite the well-worn topic, it drags you along its investigation without ever losing steam. superb so far.

a rare non-“fold” tweet but: if we were to, say, dissolve the football club today, i would be fine with that. i’m not sure we improve from here.

The tone was a *little bit* condescending. They said “Hmm… it’s a shame you haven’t gone to uni. Disappointing. But have you seen Mad Men?” i said no. “Hmm… Maybe you should go home and watch Mad Men.” Interview over. Mad Men is really good though, to be fair to them.

in 2013, i was approached to interview for a creative role at a Very Big Ad Agency. i didn’t apply, they cold-emailed me. convinced this was my big break, i took a day off work, and went for an interview they forgot they’d scheduled. They took the meeting with me in a stairwell…

i've always loved this goal. love watching Grafite go walk about and finish with the most casual backheel of all time.

On 4 April 2009, @Graffa23 scored this unforgettable goal in a 5-1 win over @FCBayernEN.
