@humbleetc It'd have the same energy as that bit in Reflections on the Revolution in France where it becomes apparent that Burke is partly mad cos he had the horn for Marie Antoinette.

@Arbeit_Fish At least Ashworth used his own humiliating defeat to further his awful, stupid ideology.

Christ this is worse than John Ashworth

Just spoke briefly to the Italian boxer Angela Carini outside the North Paris Arena. Confirmed she ‘maybe’ has a broken nose, hurts a lot but not checked out yet.

There is one trans boxer at the Olympics, but it's not a trans woman (there are none good enough to have qualified), it's a trans man called Hergie Bacyadan
That doesn't fit the bigots narrative so they'll ignore it and lie instead
English
@seaningle You don't normally ask for selfies, but you thought you would with a devastatingly defeated athlete just to further an agenda that she's pretty clearly opposed to?

carini didn't protect her chin which historically has led to people getting punched in the face in boxing, funnily enough. moreover she hasn't opposed khelif's participation at all.
English
@AnomieGeog Yeah, I'm not sure if she's knowingly feeding the narrative, or is being swept along by a current she's unaware of. The Graun's Sean Ingle tweeting selfies with her is particularly ghoulish.

"I never felt power like that" - Shane Mosley on Manny Pacquiao
"the hardest I've ever been punched" - Kell Brook on Gennady Golovkin
"I've never been punched like that before" - Suguru Muranaka on Khalid Yafai
English
Carini's a sore loser acting out of desperation and playing to (and/or being played by) the white supremacist, transphobic crowd. But her claims are no different to hundreds of boxers before her, often made in admiration.

"he’s the hardest I’ve ever been punched by. Ever." - Johnny Fisher on Daniel Dubois

"I’ve never really been hit like that before." - Rocky Fielding on Canelo Alcaraz
“I've never been hit like that in my life” - Jason Moloney on Naoya Inoue
"I'd never been hit like that before" - Taylor McGoldrick on Gennadi Stserbin

In a highly emotional interview, Angela Carini has just explained that she abandoned because she had never been punched so hard. Imane Khelif said nothing. And this is the issue that the IOC’s Mark Adams suggested everyone should just ‘dial down’. An absolute scandal

@redrumlisa Great we'll just let the Israeli military know and they'll call the whole thing off.

Utterly depressing. Waving flags. Utterly depressing. Who are the real #flagshaggers? In the UK. The only flag I have ever waved is the black flag & the red & black. Both means freedom & no borders to the working class.

sorry but why do i keep hearing what Wes Streeting has to say. everyday I wake up and there he is. why are they trying to make Wes Streeting happen
English
@adipsal Yeah. And, I think, a particular Benjaminian/Jamesonian understanding of revolutionary temporality.

Hearing the old guard on TMS try to comprehend Bazball is like a political scientist trying to make sense of the 2017 election.
English
...whereas Bazball is an attempt to make every moment historical. It's a temporality of permanent spontaneity, and in that the important loses its importance: every happening becoming pure spectacle.
English
...I like old school test temporality, in which there are significant periods of nothing much which occasionally give way to historical moments in which it all happens, the genesis can then be observed in those patches of boredom...
