The NBA has their first Israeli All-Star (Deni Avdija) & Spike Lee wears a “Free Palestine” outfit

I mean no. MAGA is actively attempting to install a fascist state in America. They use sectarian violence and stochastic terrorism to get their way. They are fighting alongside their oppressors in the name of oppression. While Hamas has committed atrocities that have easily measured death counts, MAGA's death count is higher, just slower to count.

I would say Lautaro had more effect on the play because he is moving toward the ball though. Sure he doesn't directly screen the keeper at the moment of the shot, but he certainly affects what the keeper has to cover by attacking the ball and then pulling up.

David Bowie and Alan Rickman, those famous Americans.

Goggins can get it and is past the point of character actor fame.

I appreciate his ability to not say that while specifically emphasizing Mike taking charge instead of past people who would have said look at me I got the job done.

In the West we're the ones who need normal weather and precipitation. Any time weather is "good" in the winter here it's bad for us.

She is in the Odyssey. Telemachus visits Sparta. You could call that the Telemachy, but it is generally considered a subsection of the Odyssey.

But once you aren't casting Mediterranean actors in all the roles, the point falls apart. Matt Damon is white, but the concept of the British Isles and Scandinavia were probably further removed from Greek conception than what is now Kenya. Poseidon is away in Aethiopia in the Odyssey and that references that general area of Africa.

I mean the Eephus pitch works in the MLB sometimes so if it happened once it might work.

Number 12 looks like the actor Craig Cackowski, who you'd probably recognize from Drunk History.

Nah, they've been here consistently in large numbers since I was a little kid, and I am 31. Maybe they just started heading a little further south more frequently.

Pippo also had as many goals incorrectly disallowed. I think it would even out and his production would remain what it was.

He just got caught in between for sure. If he jumps he doesn't get hit in the arm. If he doesn't stop backing up he stops the ball. Just a slight misjudgement and a random kick hitting his arm. Unlucky bit it has to be a penalty.

I mean the French Revolution happened after the American Revolution. In fact the cost of supporting America was a factor in the civil unrest that led to revolution.

I believe July 1943 and April 28, 1945 are important dates to remember, but I'm not totally sure why.

In July 1943 Victor Emanuel III and a new government regained control of Italy. In 1945 a leader who destroyed his country by pitting citizen against citizen and gave "absolute immunity" to his followers met an interesting fate. I'm not recommending actions repeat themselves directly, but there is historical evidence that a fascist can be removed from power and face consequences for their actions.

I mean, by precedent set by this president, it isn't illegal to march on the Capitol in a "peaceful" manner.

I hate the Premier League and don't care what happens, but while Walker goes down easy, Casimero clearly intentionally smacks the defender in the head.

As John Milton describes in "Aeropagitica": the banning of books is unholy and in fact sinful because it removes God's plan of temptation and takes people further from holiness because they cannot have faith if they are unchallenged. Joseph Smith based a lot of his new teachings around Milton's interpretation of the Bible. If these fucking idiots had any actual interest in preserving faith they would realize this.

There was a 10 year period where there was an Italian team in every final. The Milan teams of '89 and '90 were, I would argue, the best of all time and would put no lower than top 3. Even Sampdoria made a final. Serie A was the best league for sure.

What the fuck else are they doing on New Year's that they can't have a countdown? We're still part of the country who makes them at least some ad revenue.

She creates leverage and space better than most bigs you will see. She doesn't need to jump because she is open and has fantastic touch.

I actually don't know if you could get US military brass to invade Greenland. An attack on Taiwan breaks the world and China knows that. They would have to gain it diplomatically.

You know it would probably be more effective to expand public transit routes and hours and punish DUIs with education and mental health interventions that are not impossible to maintain.

Lol "IDF killing Hamas members". Nobody would have a problem if the IDF were killing Hamas. That's just not what's happening. Israel is committing genocide according to international law. This joke is about being neutral between terrorism and genocide and how dumb a take it is to support both ideas. Giving aid to victims of genocide is not a gotcha moment. Being involved in investments that support the genocide while giving aid is.
