Ditto for me re Fargo S05.
Just petered out--too long, too many characters, and no finish.
Though the look on Hamm's face, right at the end, was absolutely perfect.

Right-wing pundit and former book-ban-supporter Bill O'Reilly hoist with his own petard:

Mane scores Senegal's third in ET with a very nice finish vs Cameroon.
Decent second half, Cameroon should have equalized a couple minutes earlier.

Barely gets a mention in the news.
They've normalized their incompetence.

Has anyone done any research into their destination?
Reading a book about the c. 2000 wars in the DRCongo, both of which were driven, in part, by Kagami and Rwanda.
It doesn't make for pleasant reading. The idea of sending refugees to a place with such a history is unbelievable.

I used 25GJ of natural gas last January's billing period.
This January? 14.5.
Global warming for the win.

This must be the biggest money-earner by far for the federation (79m of 125m), so they're going to milk it for all it's worth.
Every two years.

Madness.
There was a 4-2 earlier, but it was never a contest.

Why didn't the Egyptian keeper extend his arms and stop that shot?

Well, fuck.
Hopefully bad enough to keep him from trying to come back later half-crocked, but not so bad that he misses anything with LFC.
Obviously.

Though calling him "Cassius Clay" is definitely on message.

A better picture of the jug eared old twat would be one of him having the prostate test with his legs in the air and something the size of a pneumatic drill rammed up his arse.
Ideal for the front page of the Daily Wail.
Cue William suddenly complaining about prostate problems.

Heard my first story on the situation on the ground in Gaza, complete with the voices of the victims of Israel's bombardment, on US media today.
MSNBC, which is the leftmost of the networks, but one which, to this point, has been only covering the dispute, other than in the broadest details, from the pro-Israel side.
Note: I'm not listening 24/7, and it might be that they, and others, have been doing these stories. But this is the first one I've heard, and I was struck by it, particularly the children's voices.

RSA gets a ridiculous VAR-assisted penalty vs Mali and he puts it well over the bar.
Terrible decision.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States of America, Donald Trump:
A Manhattan jury will hear arguments this week on how much former US president Donald Trump should pay a writer who accused him of rape.
This is the second time he will face former Elle magazine columnist E Jean Carroll in court.
A jury already found he sexually assaulted and defamed the writer, awarding her $5m (£3.9m) last year.
This trial, starting on Tuesday, focuses on separate statements that Mr Trump made in June 2019.
That was directly after Ms Carroll first accused him of rape in a New York magazine piece.
At the time, Mr Trump said her claim was "totally false". He also alleged that he had never heard of Ms Carroll and that she had invented the story to sell her memoir.
A jury found in May that Mr Trump is liable for sexually abusing her and for defamation, after he called her accusations "a hoax and a lie".
However, the jury did not find Mr Trump liable for raping Ms Carroll in the dressing room of department store Bergdorf Goodman in the 1990s, as she had alleged.
In the aftermath of the first trial, Judge Lewis Kaplan - who is overseeing this second defamation trial - ruled that Ms Carroll does not need to prove again that Mr Trump made defamatory comments against her.
Therefore, this second trial will only focus on determining damages owed to her. Ms Carroll is seeking $10m in compensation for harm to her reputation.
Mr Trump has signalled that he wants to testify, but Judge Kaplan has issued a stern warning to the former president.
"Mr Trump is precluded from offering any testimony, evidence or argument suggesting or implying that he did not sexually assault Ms Carroll, that she fabricated her account of the assault or that she had any motive to do so," Judge Kaplan wrote in an opinion earlier this month.
Ms Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan (who is not related to Judge Kaplan), has said that Mr Trump will attempt to "sow chaos" with his testimony. She has asked that he state under oath that he understands the limits of what he can say.
"There are any number of reasons why Mr Trump might perceive a personal or political benefit from intentionally turning this trial into a circus," she wrote in a memo to Judge Kaplan.
In response, Mr Trump's lawyer Alina Habba said the former president is "well aware" of the court's ruling and "the strict confines placed on his testimony".
The second trial comes as Mr Trump loses the services of lawyer Joe Tacopina, who represented him in a Manhattan case related to hush payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Mr Tacopina announced his withdrawal in a notice sent on Monday to the judge in the hush-money case.
Mr Tacopina also represented Mr Trump in the first trial brought by Ms Carroll. His withdrawal means he will no longer oversee Mr Trump's appeal of that trial's verdict.
The former president is facing a long string of other legal woes, including state and federal charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, as well as his handling of classified documents.

Angola keep it close vs Algeria, and have now equalized via a penalty in the 67th minute.
Entertaining match, and if Angola had a player capable of putting in a decent cross they might even be ahead.

The clubs now have 14 days to submit their formal responses, and under league rules the hearings must be concluded within 12 weeks. Appeal hearings must be held before 24 May 2024 and the complaint resolved before 1 June.
Two questions:
1. If it is resolved on June 1st, will any points deduction apply to 2023/24?
2. City were charged in Feb 2023. Why is it taking so long with them? Have they been charged under different rules?

Marriage is available in England and Wales to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples and is legally recognised in the forms of both civil and religious marriage. Marriage laws have historically evolved separately from marriage laws in other jurisdictions in the United Kingdom. There is a distinction between religious marriages, conducted by an authorised religious celebrant, and civil marriages, conducted by a state registrar. The legal minimum age to enter into a marriage in England and Wales is 18 since 27 February 2023.[1] Previously the minimum age of marriage was 16, with parental permission (Age of Marriage Act 1929). This also applies to civil partnerships.[1]

True Detective S04 E01
I'm hoping that Foster's presence means this is going to be exceptional.
So far so good.
Mystery looks compelling, and they've incorporated the local culture into the story effectively.
Only complaint is that it's set in the darkness of an Alaskan winter, so there won't be the same visual element there was in the first series. Too bad, as there's plenty to see up there.

Dock them more points.
Go on, do it. DO IT! Fais le. FAIS LE! DO IT! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
Nice one.
As obscure references go, that's right up there.
I haven't watched that movie in decades.
Might have to try and find it, as I thought it was quite good.

The last episode was like the last season of GoT: more a highlight show than anything else.
