I see some shite and want to call it out, but knowing that if I do that, I am helping them. Its gone from a very good funny platform to a platform full of toxicity and gets worse and worse now musk has allowed a no holds barred, everything goes, on there.
Social media platforms should be called social parasites.
As bad as Twitter can be, TikTok feels like the absolute pit of human depravation. I can barely even describe how low the bar is there. Working in communications with brands, I sadly see social media as part of the day-to-day, and it just keeps getting worse.
I ran a small football experiment online last year on a side project I have. I created a fictional footballer, built a fake story about how incredible he was, and then revealed he wasn’t real. The goal was simple: to test whether people would verify information from multiple sources and to ask them to do that with the amount of fake news here. The reactions were wild. Half the comments were positive, the other half asked for more details or tried to dig into the player’s history. Some insisted he was real, and even received private messages with threats.
It was a stark reminder of how quickly misinformation spreads, and how emotionally invested people can get in a completely fabricated story. I am dreading of what is coming next.
Bluesky is an abomination of a platform with only one view and no other, it's an open advert for lefty liberal incels who would commit murder wholescale if their wrists were strong enough.
Left hammer+sickle-moon for a much better shade of blue :)

Rodri has been charged for saying what we all know after the Spuds game.

Loving our friends over on Ordsall Quays this morning. Running an in-depth analysis of our setup and tactics. Not as if lego head at the Arse is unaware of them.
May be wrong, but I don't recall any such analysis of any of the red shite teams previously. The Beeb. Should have just headlined the article "This is how to stop City" Sad bastards.

Yes, I enjoyed the analysis of it. As I said, for me, it's more a breakdown of our playing style emphasing the key elements. My point was that I'd never seen similar from our rivals.

Probably not enough material to write an article about tactics when it tends to just be hoof it long and get the fast players to chase after it

Theres a lot of shit now about the charges again, and, none the less a 60 point deduction!
We wouldn't be getting too close to the top of the league now would we?

Just the £1.3 Billion in debt then. At what point are they going to be investigated properly
We can all have more money if we increase our debt.

He he , are you a US Citizen PB ?
It''s ok for them to have massive debt. Just use one credit card to pay the other!
It is shocking that it was allowed to de-register the rags in the uk and those Floridians to plunder the registers for over 10 years now. Still, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch eh ?

No, thank God I'm not.
To be honest I really cannot get my head around how or why leveraged buyouts are legal.
Still, every cloud I suppose, because as you say couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

That's because another "football financial expert", this time an ex Everton CEO said that if City were found guilty you could add a nought on the deductions Blue scouse and Forest got.
Imagine the piss boiling if we got a 60 point deduction and escaped relegation.

I remember someone well known saying Arsenal were like soft porn, nice to watch, but no penetration.

I'd love to see us unfurl a 'Netflix ' banner as Haaland scores his fifth goal of the game when they come to ours in April. Proper Adebayor moment

The soft porn bit was about us in Pepito's first season.
