Ipswich and Plymouth both looked considerably better than us in our matches last season even if the results were close. 
 
Wednesday didn’t but they were proper flat track bullies and beat who they should have been beating. 

79 mins - Oduroh and Hawkins on for Bardell and Fornah
1-0 FT and we move 3 places up the table

Rowett's style of play still varied. A bit of magic from Lawrence or Vydra. Nugent and Winnall pressing from the front, and Jerome to give us a target man for Forsyth to aim his crosses at. Weimann and Russell (until Jan) mixed it up on the wings.
Warne gives us "pass to Hourihane who will pass it out to the right to get Mendez-Laing on the ball. Mendez-Laing will cross to Collins". It's all too predictable which contributes to it being boring to watch.

This is really desperate stuff. The right's version of Carol Vorderman could be, say Teresa May? Penny Mourdant? I'm struggling to think of many other reasonablish centre right women to be honest.
Maybe we could even say Liz Truss, who probably beleives in opposite things to Vorderman in terms of taxation and economics?
The left's version of KT Hopkins? I don't really think there is one. Perhaps there is some vile human who celebrates when a trans woman attacks another woman. Or who tries to incite illegal immigrants to murder the existing population?
I love the plea against polarisation later though that I don't even think is ironic. 

I genuinely believe the only reason we are anywhere this year is because the division is the worst it's been in years. The likes of Ipswich, Plymouth and Wednesday last year were levels above any team in league one this year. I think this crappy division masks just how poor we are. We're rubbish, I don't care if we're sat in second. The eye test is a complete giveaway. 

Some good points. But I'm afraid I don't really care about the branding - I still call it Twitter. 
Yes you're right verification is a mess. I'd say it always has been, and it's hard to instigate a fair "verification by degree of fame" system, but part of the reason for the current system is obviously financial. Same as ads.
I've no problem with "pay to be seen". If you want a free service, why are they obligated to make it as good as a paid service? As I said, I haven't seen a difference, and the fee is very, very small.
I remember original Twitter always trying to muck around with and curate my feed. Hated it - always avoided it then. Similarly I ignore "for you" now.
I'd say KT Hopkins is the right's version of Carol Vorderman. They should indeed both be allowed on the platform. No one is forced to follow them.
Current ads and subscription fees are partly down to online campaigns from various Bamfords trying to stop corporations advertising on Twitter. Because they hate Musk, despite all the amazing good he's done for the world. And those craven corporations cowtow and stop. Twitter needs money from somewhere to keep itself running. Blame the people who shut down its income stream, despite being a massively popular site. Surely by now we're all immune to ads to an extent? I don't really see them.
Finally, something that really heartens me about Twitter, despite our deeply polarized world, is that whenever I look at what's trending (generally, not for me) it's almost always football. Meaning it's clearly where most people still discuss the beautiful game. And that gives me some hope for the future.

A competitive league one outfit second in the league. Some performances this season with ultra aggressive pressing and free flowing football when allowed to. 
The standard of the league is pretty poor and the matches can be difficult to watch. It’s a league problem. We need to get out of this league. 

The point I was making in the post you refer to is not once have I seen this Warne team persistently play aimless long ball and the ball being in the air more than on the ground. To say so is just untrue and a lazy stereotype based on Warne’s perceived style at Rotherham. Recent games I’ve seen centre halves split and Vickers playing the ball out to the side of the box then into midfield. That’s not lumping it. 

He's just played 90 minutes against Man Utd.

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.

Where can I find one of these hats?

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 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.

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”.
