I would genuinely not be surprised if those people saw the Liberian flag and thought "uuuuh...you es ay!!?!!"

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Sky News, The Independent, BBC, etc, all are reporting on that. Just not in massively screaming letters all over the TV's and phones of certain right-wing minded people, so they think it's being 'ignored' or something.

@heywooduI went on BBC front page and it's zero news about Leeds. All is see is Trump, more Trump, some US cop getting fired and Microsoft IT failure. It makes you wonder if BBC is still a British news corporation? :d

There is no Microsoft IT failure, that's a BBC mistake then (it's a CrowdStrike failure, but also media here started off with wrongfully calling it a Microsoft/Windows failure). But yeah, that was and still is definitely bigger than stuff in Leeds, so very much without any doubt it makes sense to mention that bigger.

 

Point is, BBC did report it, it's just a certain kind of people who yell things are 'being ignored' when they aren't given the amount of attention they think it should get.

The Guardian still has it on front page at least. Meanwhile BBC front page looks like an US news outlet. It's clear police has bailed from the Leeds unrest and decided the community to deal with it themselves. Obviously that begs some questions to be asked but they won't because there's another side of the coin nobody wants to touch with a wooden pole. So letting it burn out (literally) is the best option. Nothing to see here, let's focus on The Open! ;)

    • I'm not a fan of Verstappen, but this winner by him was just... WOW
    • Meanwhile, it's about 7 hours to go until we can really start getting some first results other than the 3-3 in Dixville Notch     This is more or less what we're going to start the night with, but probably it's going to come down to Pennsylvania in the end.    
    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
