@davemeltzerWON Would he make your Top 6?

Ted Turner just passed away at the age of 87. He was among the most important people as far as the history of pro wrestling goes, and that was a very minor part of his world.

@PeterMcCormack You sound like a delight to work for

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@SeanSheehanBA Would you like him to burst out a bit of fiddle dee dee as well?

And he wonders why a lot of Irish people don't like him!

@Ryan_Colaco @tinyinehh Arsenal haven't won a league in 22 years. You're on about tactical sustainability or whatever. How about let's just win the league and who gives a fuck how it's done

No one’s saying a new manager guarantees better football - that’s not the point. The point is fans can question whether this is the best Arsenal can be long-term. Stability matters, but it shouldn’t become a ceiling. If there are concerns about style, flexibility, or big-game performances, it’s fair to ask if there’s another level. “Take it or leave it” isn’t how big clubs operate - they evolve. And let’s be honest, criticism does get dismissed with “leave the club.” That doesn’t address the argument, it avoids it.

This isn’t about liking or disliking Mikel Arteta - it’s about Arsenal’s long-term future. Even if Arteta wins the league, it’s still reasonable to have concerns about the bigger picture: the style of football, tactical rigidity, in-game decisions, and whether it’s sustainable at the highest level. One achievement doesn’t automatically erase out underlying issues. Supporting Arsenal doesn’t mean blindly backing the manager. The club comes first, and fans are right to question whether we’re truly progressing. What’s frustrating is that any fair criticism just gets met with “go support Spurs” or “you’re not invited to the parade” instead of actual discussion. That doesn’t make the concerns invalid - it just avoids them. Also, who are these people to gatekeep who can support Arsenal and who is invited to the parade? 🤷🏾‍♂️

@Glinner Any update on this Graham?

Owen Jones, Wikipedia's expert on Israel, spread this lie.

@justinboldaji Nick Mullen is a once in a generation comedian. Too bad that other guy wouldn't shut up

Roaring with laughter in my kitchen

@DanielRPK Why? Most people will go to see both

As usual for Denis Villeneuve, this looks AMAZING. Should Avengers: Doomsday be worried?

@fintancox You, clearly

Who gives a shit what a talentless nobody who hasn't a clue what he's talking about got to say,

@InvertTheWing It's mad how for a while it was 50/50 whether you were a parody account or not but now you've just fully embraced the bit

There is no joy in football anymore. On Wednesday, I was so angry, that when I was coming back home from the game, I was kicked out of the tram by the stewards, because during my anger, I tried to get on before a disabled person. I just wanted to go home. The event keeps playing on mind. Today has just made the events keep playing in mind.

@DetroitC13531 @punt_rd More like Jose FeliciaNO. This is horrendous

@punt_rd Wrong take. Sting is moved. Thats effing Jose Feliciano. Do you have any idea how many singers would love to have Jose cover their song. This is an awesome moment. That's what you are seeing

I’ll never get sick of Sting just stuck, trapped listening to someone slaughtering his music. He’s marinating in agony and embarrassment!

@Niall_Boylan @MaryLouMcDonald Yeah I'm sure the families of those Iranian school children will agree

@marktully_ @MaryLouMcDonald You are making no sense. If their own country is made safer and more peaceful , they won’t want to leave. Use your common sense mate.

US-Israeli strikes on Iran are a dangerous act of aggression in open defiance of international law. Micheál Martin must condemn this military assault and defend international law. Neutrality matters precisely at moments like this. Ireland’s neutrality and commitment to international law means nothing if it disappears when powerful states are involved.

@Niall_Boylan @MaryLouMcDonald Can't wait for your inevitable opinion pieces about how we're taking in too many Iranian refugees

@MaryLouMcDonald I assume Iran double checked if they were compliant of international law when raped, hung and murdered its own people and spread it tyrannical hatred of the western world.

@LucaGuadagnegro @Variety So you're arguing for segregation? This is insane

@Variety if your tourette’s tick is yelling slurs, you should have enough respect for everyone else to simply not attend a live televised event (where you “can’t help” but blurting it out). Not being ableist or anything, but you simple don’t need to be at this specific event like that.

#BAFTAFilmAwards host Alan Cumming thanked the audience for their “understanding” after a series of audible outbursts from Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson interrupted the ceremony. • One incident saw Davidson shout the n-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. • Davidson, the inspiration for BAFTA-nominated “I Swear,” was diagnosed with Tourette’s at 25. His symptoms include tics and involuntary outbursts. • “You may have noticed some strong language in the background there, this can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience,” Cumming told the audience. wp.me/pc8uak-1lGWhl

@DoktorZoidberg1 @JxScott @RachelCDailey_ Like segregation you mean?

@JxScott @RachelCDailey_ If you listen to some of these comments, perhaps separate but equal accommodations would be appropriate. Maybe a seat in the back of the theater or up in the balcony.

Two things can be true at the same time: - John Davidson had no control over what he said. Abuse about his disability is unacceptable. - Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo should not have been subjected to having the N-word shouted at them.

@dsonoiki It makes them shout what they know is the worst thing they could possibly say in a situation because they literally know and think it’s wrong. Why is this so difficult to understand?

notice how no one with Tourette’s says “African-American”

@AshNicoleMoss Tourettes makes them shout what they know is the worst thing they could possibly say in a situation because they literally know and think it’s wrong. Why is this so difficult to understand?

i’m unfamiliar with the intricacies of Tourette’s — are the outbursts usually this specific?

@queenie4rmnola So we should segregate disabled people to avoid being inconvenienced or offended by them?

Calling Black men the n-word is racism. If John has coprolalia and can’t control the slurs he says, he should watch from a separate area, not in the main audience where Black people are exposed to slurs

@Jessecooksfood @LucaGuadagnegro @Variety Well you see the movie that was nominated that was based on his life goes into great detail about why he would yell out the worst possible thing at the worst possible moments

@marktully_ @LucaGuadagnegro @Variety Because he can’t avoid calling the two black men racial slurs while they are on stage and they shouldn’t have to endure that

@InvertTheWing Let it all work out

Stopped caring after the disallowed goal. Was always going to end one way. Officials are fucking embarassing. Gabriel is fucking embarassing. Tottenham are also fucking embarassing.
