Not a surprise to see the club that still can't accept that their fans let it die in 2012 just flat out refusing to accept facts, but it is funny to hear them say it.

While we support some of the report’s recommendations, we do not accept every finding or factual assertion it contains. We have and will continue to raise concerns with the Scottish FA about significant aspects of the independent report.

Why did Dundee illustrate news about their new stadium with a picture that looks like a remake of Dawn of the Dead set at a car dealership?

Post text: Dundee Football Club is pleased to confirm that all necessary documentation has today been submitted to Dundee City Council relating to the Camperdown Stadium Project.

When people would rather listen to a language they don't even speak than endure your shitty coverage, it seems like a pretty easy message to takeaway for executives, but will the executives take the right message?

Andy Murray corrects journalist's 'casual sexism'
Andy Murray has corrected a journalist after he said Sam Querrey, who knocked the British player out of Wimbledon earlier, was "the first US player to reach a major semi-final since 2009".

The newly-deposed Wimbledon champion reminded the reporter he was only talking about male players, as there had, of course, been considerably more success for the US on the female side of the sport.

Since 2009, Serena Williams has won 12 Grand Slam tournaments.

The last decade or so has been a constant revelation after another that everything i thought everyone did, turns out they do not. There's a good reason why I'm so physically and mentally exhausted at the end of a day and it's not i'm lazier, it's the constant hypervigilance and self-commentary.

Adults with ADHD may pay high price to mask traits and fit in. More than 91% of adults with ADHD reported hiding, suppressing or compensating for ADHD traits. They may pretend to pay attention, suppress their urge to fidget, rehearse conversations or over-prepare for meetings to fit social norms.

my new favorite coup attempt

1978 attempted coup by German mercenaries
In August 1978, Alexander Achenbach, who described himself as the Prime Minister of Sealand, hired several German and Dutch mercenaries to lead an attack on Sealand while Bates and his wife were in Austria, invited by Achenbach to discuss the sale of Sealand.[15] Achenbach had disagreed with Bates over plans to turn Sealand into a luxury hotel and casino with fellow German and Dutch businessmen.[16] They stormed the platform and took Bates's son, Michael Bates, hostage. Michael was able to retake Sealand[how?] and capture Achenbach and the mercenaries. Achenbach, a German lawyer who held a Sealand passport, was charged with treason against Sealand,[15] and was held unless he paid DM 75,000 (more than US$35,000 or £23,000).[17] Germany then sent a diplomat from its London embassy to Sealand to negotiate for Achenbach's release. Roy Bates relented after several weeks of negotiations and subsequently claimed that the diplomat's visit constituted de facto recognition of Sealand by Germany.[18]

Following his repatriation, Achenbach and Gernot Pütz proclaimed a government in exile, sometimes known as the Sealand Rebel Government or Sealandic Rebel Government, in Germany.

We had great seats for the AEW show last night. Would have liked to stay longer but folks were getting tired 3 hours in. Had a good time though.

Probably controversial, but i don't mind this. Yes, time wasting is annoying and should be penalized as unsporting, but it's become accepted wisdom that we need more "active" time in games and i don't agree. These players aren't video game NPCs. They're playing 50+ games a year...

The average Premier League match this season lasts 100 minutes and 24 seconds. Of those, the ball is in play for just 55 minutes and 31 seconds — 55.3 per cent of the total. Stoppages and time-wasting are having a significant effect on games

They had a decent price for Game Pass, and every couple of months I even got a bonus month free for using Bing. I dropped both the moment prices went up and they fudged the rewards program.

There's a whole generation that just don't understand that games are supposed to, and used to, be complete when they release. Early Access poisoned the well.

Devs aren't "lazy" and game updates aren't guaranteed | Opinion
Where did the demand that every game must be continually updated come from – and is there a way to avoid the friction it causes in relations between consumers and creators?

A reminder that US has a law to militarily invade the Nerherlands if any of their officials ever end up in the Hague. In 2002, Congress approved by 280-138, with 84 Democrats voting to ensure it passed. If passed the Senate 71-22 (Sanders voting yes) giving US protection from war crime trials.
