I think people are being way too down on this performance, it was a bit nervy esp 1st half but after their goal they created very little clear cut and our quality shone through, there was easily 3 or 4 goals in this game for us had either one of jesus or martinelli worn their shooting boots.

think people are being much too down on the performance, I saw an arsenal team with a lot of quality which lacked a commanding defensive or midfield presence - because we didn't bring any of those players up. It was nervy at times but I think this was actually a show of strength.

Madueke played really well too, especially the final 15 minutes after calafiori went off and the youngster dixon came on and was clearly nervous.

so much for us being stoke with bells on.

gabriel golden boot and best defence incoming.

I think this speaks to how far he has fallen.

I think we have to recognise he just isn't the player we bought and hasn't been since that first 4 months.

this has sparked *arguments* in the GC Jonn. Bridges will burn.

you don't want to curb the destructive problems of extreme wealth inequality in this country or privatisation or austerity and you tell me that I'm putting ideology before reality? Christ I hate labour voters almost as much as I hate their politicians.

I've been hating Wes Streeting so long I think I want to see his downfall as much as I want to see spurs relegated.

calling wealth taxes fantasy economics demonstrates how far right labour have become and how absolutely uneducated you are about the world around you. Likewise, if you increase government spending but don't increase it to match with inflation then you're just doing "less austerity" not no austerity

calling him a saint is a bit much but yeah most normal lefties are given that we don't want to monster immigrants or trans people or continue austerity.

I am going to be disgusting and insufferable I might alienate everyone who isn't an gunner that I know.

I am an arsenal fan so I cannot lie I'm experiencing a lot of schadenfreude, but I think I'd completely go insane if it happened to us. Our infrastructure our fanbase, our history, we just wouldn't be equipped. Spurs are much the same, logically if they were to go down they should rebound...buuut.

Maranakis sucks but Forest are a cool team to have in the prem.

There's one image I saw of a spurs fan holding the railing, white knuckling it, staring eyes wide into the abyss, completely haunted. And I think that's the image I find the most real of all of this, like he's had a realisation last night that it was probable not merely possible.

oil prices getting really high never pushes the global economy into massive recession right? That definitely didn't happen the summers pre-2008 or anything...Right?

surely by this absurd logic Iran can call attacking british military installations defensive too? (And they'd be more correct to given they're in a defensive war against imperial invaders)

Rhe response of "actually there's more bullshit farming jobs than you think" doesn't undermine the premise of the book.

So you've read the essay and not the book and are drawing a conclusion about the book wherein he says the opposite. Curious.

Haven't read the book in a while but that was not my impression at all if you've got a passage in mind then I'd love to see.

so you can see that the position in the pod they state is the reverse of the one quoted in the book.

Also they wholly misrepresent his position on gendered labour and importance in a way which tells me Peter skim read it, in a way which makes me dislike the podcast more broadly. Real last minute homework vibes from this one.

they completely misrepresent Graeber's position on this. To the point that its quite offensive. He goes out of his way in the book to reverse the idea. Some quotes someone helpfully found. Graeber's position is most caring roles are much much more important than most bankers.

oof their episode on this is a letdown, there's good criticism of this book and then there's this hour of nitpicking and conceding Graeber's argument while saying "technically".

*syndicate not serialise

I would say, these aren't popular but the bar they have to clear is so incredibly low. They cost so little money to make and you can serialise them instantly.

they're good when you're 13 and genuinely being exposed to things you don't know or when you're a baby boomer who loves to think themselves worldly while justifying the Empire. Also people fall asleep infront of the TV after 7pm a lot.

Also weird caveat, he's adopted anti-trans policies ergo he is a transphobe, this isn't mind reading, I don't need to know his deepest desires, his actions have spoken for him.
