    We need to make sure the pathway into the U21 squad doesn't block him or other CMs stepping up. That means quite a few need to either move up to the first team or get loaned out. We'll see 1 or 2 released/sold in the summer too.
    Our other CM/AM options being: DRobinson, Radcliffe, Fapetu, Lindsay, Weston, Hawkins and Bates. McAndrew will also be looking at U21 football next season.

    This is an absolutely baffling thing to say. The education system in the UK is poor, I agree, but to say it's the "left leaning liberal media establishment" that is the cause it stupid.

    Completely not ashamed to say I was, I loved Pokemon as a kid so when Go came out when I had loads of time off between Secondary School and College, it was the perfect time😅
     
    There's been Youtube trends that have caused harm to children, I bet there's hundreds of videos on there on how to do loads of illegal stuff, but that's been going nearly 20 years. I'm not sure it's directly the fault of TikTok itself.

    This same shadowy group also created the NHS and the Welfare State. Women voting and equal rights too. That far left Stalinist David Cameron even introduced gay marriage. Something must be done!

    Yes. Daft game that is. Kids you can understand. Adults though chasing these virtual gremlin things was and still is super weird.
    Banning it would be the best thing to do. Think we should name and shame as well, make them wear hats that say former Pokémon Go player so we know who not to socialise with.

    But that’s such a tiny, tiny element of the platform. Horrific, yes, but hardly a justification to shut the whole thing down.
    Labradors have killed people but we don’t ban them.

    There is a bottom line that the nature of social media is triggering, polarizing and manipulative. Because of the vast amounts of data it collects and the lightning fast way algorithms work, and the fact we have not had millions of years to evolve alongside such machine intelligences, we have few defences against them. Meaning we all do stupid things on social media from time to time, that we probably regret. And I don't think too much store should be set by that. It should be yesterday's fish and chip paper, and move on. Rather than the "offence archaeology" we often say nowadays. So largely, so what if Musk said a stupid thing on Twitter. 
    But that said, I'll do my best to give what I think is likely the gist of Musk's thinking, hoping it's not straying too much into politics (but you did ask). As I alluded to in the above post, I feel Musk equates the deep state with what I would think of as the establishment, and one way of looking at that is "the left-leaning liberal media establishment" - which has done a remarkable job of taking over the entirety of the education system. It's a stroke of genius how ideas seen as extreme and laughable in the 1990s, such as critical race theory or trans extremism, are nowadays considered mainstream by this establishment (even if ordinary, decent people have hardly shifted in their views at all and don't believe everything should be viewed through a lens of colour, with white people always oppressors and black people always victims - or that it's fine for biological men to compete in women's sports or parade naked in girls' changing rooms, and so on).
    We have a massive crisis in the mental health of children, which I think is due to a perfect storm of several factors. One is the rise of social media, and many issues (especially in young girls) can be traced directly to the beginning of Instagram. Then came the pandemic and the disastrous decisions to shut down schools and isolate and not even educate children. But, in the background is the wickedness of people encouraging children to believe they were somehow born into the wrong body, and the misery they feel isn't to do with the completely normal hormone explosions of growing up and puberty which we all go through and come out the other side, but is going to be a lifelong issue. But one these people claim can be solved by mutilation, a lifelong dependence on drugs, and the necessary sterilization that comes with it. So thousands of American children undergo these procedures a year. The day will come when it will be seen as the biggest scandal that happened to children, and I hope the people responsible will pay a price for what they've done.
    Musk calls this the actions of the deep state, and you can see why because these crazed ideas have become embedded within the institutions of the state, making them very hard to shift. I would say it's because of the capture of the establishment by radical extremist and damaging ideologies. Just as our own Tavistock Enquiry showed.
    A problem in politics and two-party states is that the activists in those parties are massively extreme compared with the voters for those parties. In America, to win the nominations, you have to appeal to the activists and then it's hard to rein back and take a more sensible approach. Presidential votes are in play because this has become politicized with the Democrat activists fully embracing an extremist trans agenda. And if you are someone who has succumbed to the pressure, and taken these life-changing decisions, you are going to want to  believe you did the right thing and weren't taken advantage of and lied to, so you are going to vote for the party that is shouting this from the rooftops.
    But, like I said, I think it's more a throwaway remark, in frustration, at the madness and denial of basic biology. Which in Musk's case as a committed futurist, is really important because it points to the end of a science-based society, which in turn points to the end of human progress.

    Yes, because an interview with Vladimir’s Putin, that famous advocate of free speech, is likely to be a serious piece of journalism. You think Putin would allow this if it wasn’t going to be a puff piece? An American journalist is currently being detained in Russia for “espionage”.

    I thought the same after watching the goals. I have no idea what they're crying about with the 2nd. I doubt Roos will be Warnock's cup of tea, so he won't last much longer.
    By the way, anyone who thinks we're too negative on here should go and read some threads on the Aberdeen forum. I think I'd be miserable too if I had to watch the SPL every week, but I feel like asking for a welfare check on some of the posters on there.

    Seen both the goals:

    First one he could've easily parried away from the striker, poor goalkeeping.
    Second was a good save from him from a very decent Lawrence strike which was moving all over the place, defenders should've done better.

    The Royal families expenses are met from the Sovereign Grant. This is paid from the Treasury, aka taxpayer funded.

    Third time the fight has been cancelled. Even Fury fans are getting fed up. Incredibly clean cut though, so it should heal nicely 👀
    Ah well, maybe a few man-size helpings of uncastrated wild boar might see him training better?

    There are multiple videos showing Dubois hit him low. Half his fist was low on impact and his natural movement followed up. It was low, and any bladder hit from a heavyweight would cause a reaction.
    Usyk isn’t any weaker to the body than Fury is to the head. Of the two, the latter has been on the canvas far more often. 
    Fury didn’t get complacent. He is just a decent heavyweight who is vulnerable to being dropped at any moment. Usyk is far more skilled and only size will beat him, not boxing skills.
