I also feel like this perfect Spider-Man film that has: High emotional stakes Mature story writing Comedic Spider-Man and world Great villains with interesting motivations Fascinating world-building Is a really hard Spider-Man film to do. The OG trilogy does the best

Yeah these movies don’t really utilize Peter’s sense of humor as much as they could, but these movies (at least I think) capture the inherent comedy of the books with more situational gags.

@GardLC @krisowe Maybe this particular decision but the rise in ticket prices over the last 30 years , hydration breaks at the World Cup, the intended super league experiment , and to some extent the endless expansions of major tournaments. All signs of hyper-commercialisation

@RIXXOE @krisowe Bullshit, no one else was consulted on this. Even the executive committee did not know anything.

The funny thing about dumb European supremacy arguments like this is that Gianni Infantino worked for UEFA for 20 YEARS before he became President of FIFA Previous corrupt FIFA President Sepp Blatter is Swiss Sorry to burst your bubble but FIFA corruption is a European problem
Stan Collymore@StanCollymore

Cape Verde was a great story. Truly great. But 2 weeks after, football doesn't give a fuck, less so after 1, 2 or 4 years. If Mauritius, Mozambique, Mali do the same, great, but for 99% of fans, 99% of the time, across the world, nobody cares. If France, Italy, Germany, England, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal boycott a World Cup, it's automatically invalid. It's just the truth. Likewise, a club World Cup without any of Europe's top 25 clubs is invalid. Nobody is watching Inter Miami v Boca Juniors except in markets that simply don't generate revenue or global interest. UEFA should immediately take over global law making ( UEFA replace FIFA 4 votes in a new IFAB with the 4 home nations continuing holding the other 4 votes). Europe has paid football's bills for 150 years. It does not need to vote for a man in an island of 100,000 to hold the game to random because FIFA are giving him 20 mil. I'm half English, half Barbadian. One has paid its football dues, the other hasn't, so the other cannot and must not hold the balance of power. When two thirds of football nations fill their stadiums, support grassroots football, create a pyramid, have women's teams, find kids, then their vote is equal to a European powerhouse. Not a day before. Time for UEFA to secede from FIFA FIFA needs UEFA. UEFA doesn't need FIFA.

@krisowe Infantino is next gen corrupted. But I think he also represents the broader trend in football’s commercialization even at the expense of fans and traditional football loving communities. The buck doesn’t stop at him. It’s the system.

@RIXXOE difference is blatter liked football and infantino doesn't. so instead of good old fashioned suit case in a drop box corruption you get qatar and saudi world cup and sketchy referee calls and wanting to sell off minority stakes in fifa and do more teams and ad breaks corruption

@chrisssstoph I think that’s true too. But of course, FIFA is just bigger and so probably more prone to corruption from actors from across the world, non-European and European alike.

@RIXXOE Not his argument that uefa is pure. Fifa has gone too far and needs to be reigned in. Uefa lesser of two evils

@Andrew19131761 Of course it’s a worldwide problem, But the argument that Europe/UEFA is somehow exempt from this corruption is ludicrous. I’m old enough to remember all the UEFA-Platini-Blatter corruption scandals that we all seem to forget about

@RIXXOE Nonsense. It’s a worldwide problem. Chuck Blazer (USA), Ricardo Teixeira (Brazil), Jack Warner (Trinidad and Tobago), Nicolás Leoz (Paraguay), Julio Grondona (Argentina) would all make a top 10 of dirty money FIFA men. But only Europeans have the power to stop it.

The reason white supremacists constantly fantasize about non-white women is because sex is already seen as an act if conquering and degrading women. Adding on colonization maximizes sexual gratification for them. Colonization and rape culture are deeply interconnected

🚨DONE DEAL: 100 year old David Attenborough has put pen to paper and signed a 5 year deal with Chelsea. Xabi Alonso said this is because he needs more experience in the team.

On this day in 1919, a Black teenager drifted across an invisible line in Lake Michigan. White beachgoers stoned him until he drowned. He was 17. His name was Eugene Williams. The "line" was the unofficial boundary between the white and Black sections of a Chicago beach. A line drawn on WATER. Police arrived. Black witnesses pointed out the man who had thrown the stones. The officer refused to arrest him and arrested a Black man from the crowd instead. That refusal lit Chicago on fire. Thirteen days of white mobs raiding Black neighborhoods, and Black veterans fighting back: 38 dead, 537 injured, roughly 1,000 Black families burned out of their homes. It began because a child couldn't see a border that existed only in white minds. This is why we have documented 150 crimes against Black people that remain unanswered for savvypurchase.samcart.com/products/150-c…

The critique that Nolan didn’t capture Odysseus’ intelligence is a lie lmao. People really watched the movie blind. I even saw a tweet saying the film keeps mentioning Zeus’ law without ever explaining it. It literally explains it in the first five minutes.
