I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

One of the greatest games in recent memory. Positivity in motion. Total football, total entertainment. Some of the best players in the world on view. Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Doue, Kane, Olise, Luis Diaz, and others. A lot of talk about how fresh PSG and Bayern Munich players look. Dominate their leagues so can rest and rotate. Also helps they have a winter break. Two weeks in France. Three weeks in Germany. The English plough on through winter, of course. Food for thought for the Premier League after this feast of football. But football of this exceptional calibre and pace is also a mindset and philosophy. Encouraged by enlightened coaches. Good players told to go out there and express themselves. Little diving or dissent, just elite competitors getting on with the game. A great game. Encore 🙌 #PSGBAY

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Here's when Lionel Messi met Andy Robertson

This is one of the most fascinating and under-appreciated figures of the recent IPCC AR6 report (Figure 6.16). It shows the effects of a single year of emissions after 10 and 100 years, and really illustrates the difference between stock and flow pollutants:

Using a 20-year period to compare methane the CO2 is a terrible idea. It heavily discounts the future and locks in greater warming. New York should move away from it, and instead set separate targets for CO2 and short-lived climate pollutants. A thread:

$38 billion. That's how much EPA estimates its new biofuel mandate will cost society. Yet the politics of redistributing money to farmers keeps this policy going.

The days of this app being the best place to track and break unfolding news are so far gone. Today’s news out of Mexico makes uniquely clear that between AI, engagement farmers, and bad-faith grifters, trying to inform yourself on here makes you more uninformed. Done with it.

On the amount of land the world today uses to produce biofuels — an inefficient and ineffective source of “green” energy, sufficient to power just 4 percent of global transportation — enough solar power could be installed to generate all (100%) the world’s electricity needs.

Is wind turbine waste a real concern? Yes, by one estimate, in 2050 the world will generate ~3 million tonnes of wind turbine waste per year. But for perspective, the world currently landfills ~500 million tonnes of coal combustion residues (coal ash) every year.

At least the Beatles knew how to defend a free kick properly 🤣🤣

For decades, the world’s scientists and governments have worked together to tackle the most significant challenge of our lifetimes: the climate crisis. The ongoing work of the IPCC, UNFCCC, and other global institutions remains essential to safeguarding humanity’s future. The Trump Administration's decision to remove the United States from these vital organizations sends the wrong message to our allies abroad and fails to protect Americans from increasingly dangerous impacts of the climate crisis at home. The Trump Administration has been turning its back on the climate crisis since day one, removing the United States from the Paris Agreement, dismantling America’s scientific infrastructure, curbing access to greenhouse gas emissions data, and ending essential investments in the clean energy transition. They've done this at the behest of the oil industry, so that billionaires can rake in even more money while polluting our planet and endangering people in America and around the world. By withdrawing from the IPCC, UNFCCC, and the other vital international partnerships, the Trump Administration is undoing decades of hard-won diplomacy, attempting to undermine climate science, and sowing distrust around the world. Fortunately, 198 minus one does not equal zero. While the U.S. federal government sits on the sidelines, world leaders, local and state governments, and the private sector will continue to move forward with the clean energy transition and uphold the goals set forth in the Paris Agreement because it is in their best interest to do so. Clean energy remains the most affordable, scalable, and sustainable solution to meet the energy demands of the future and with this reckless decision the United States will only be left behind.

It is possible to have a different theory of change on decarbonization, the clean energy transition, affordability, etc—and not attack people's motives, credibility, etc. The amount of time the climate movement spends attacking people we agree with 95% is absurd and unhelpful.

New Year, New Mayor.

Bagel scoop 🥯💥 The New Absolute Bagel is slated to open on December 29 in the same Upper West Side storefront. Many of the former employees will work at the new venture, and there will be 2 cash registers, instead of the 1 that Absolute Bagels had. westsiderag.com/2025/12/17/new…
