New from me at

: Has the mainstream press “bent the knee” to Trump? Not really (even the Washington Post still provides some pretty hard-hitting coverage), but the dangers are there.

I'm currently writing a defense of the revelations of Christ to St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy devotion in response to the attacks from (some) radical traditionalists. Buckle up.

Something deeply distressing has happened to Joe Rogan. Not all at once, but maybe past the point of no return.

Last Feb I casually posted this neck stretch on Instagram (that I thought everyone knew 🤷‍♀️) and it blew up in a way I couldn’t imagine. It’s now been viewed over 8 million times 🫣😬🤣 and has brought so many wonderful people into my world.

So give it a go, it’s a pretty lovely stretch. (Though it’s not actually magic, it’s just an up…

I just got back from teaching my class and every word of it this is true, this is no exaggeration. He is writing from an American university but it is exactly the same in Canada.

There was a time when I actually listened to Rogan’s show.

It was 2011, back when I was a university student just getting into MMA. A few friends and I would spark a joint and tune in as Rogan and his delinquent guests rambled about aliens, jiu-jitsu, and weed. It felt like a laid-back hangout—something edgier than what mainstream TV had…

City are spending our entire summer budget on marmoush but Arteta is the real problem and not the club that handed him sterling on loan on deadline day. X factor in attack was mentioned in papers after last season's UCL exit against Bayern but Arteta really thought sterling was going to be the one to deliver that. Since he got close last season, that is all he needs.

Plus he isn't allowed to sign flops at all. Every signing must be a hit. And he he has to manage an injury crisis or injuries to v…

“ Plus he isn't allowed to sign flops at all. Every signing must be a hit. And he he has to manage an injury crisis or injuries to very important players better than he is doing right now.”

It’s David vs Goliath

We won’t outspend city, I’m sure you know that. We have to be smart in our spending. That’s why we need a proper DoF

Not that we aren’t trying at all

We have a £105 million player, have at least 10 players earning more than 180k weekly and our manager is the second highest paid manager in world football.

I don't care about out spending City. I want us to go above and beyond to win. Arsenal is a big club. We should be able to spend 150m+ every summer. And at the very least not make a profit when we know we need to improve more.

Do you think any other club would spend 70m on two players and call it a day when they made 89 points and still didn't get the league title?

May be Levy at spurs. But not any of those other big clubs.

Do you remember I was talking about the club not backing Arteta in the summer?

I then realized that we had money to spend but our parameters for spending are set to avoid another Pepe situation. The owners literally have an attorney on the board to ensure good practices.

We had money to spend because we tried to sign Sesko and Nico Williams

Both of them have/had release clauses. In La Liga, that clause is laid in full.

We didn’t spend because we didn’t get the specific players that someone wanted.

Habesha Gooner's avatar

Lol, this is hilarious.

Arteta doesn't want to spend because he didn't get a specific player doesn't fly when you hand him Trossard after Mudryk. Trying to get Caicedo when he really wanted Rice.

He wants the required quality. And that is down to owners who will get the required quality no matter what.

Initially you refused to admit we went after Nico Williams and Seso. You were asking for sources, remember?

You do know that release clauses on the continent ARE PAID IN FULL?

Like I asked you beige weeks ago

What were we going to use to pay for Sesko and Niko Williams in the summer?

Crypto-currencies?

Monopoly money?

We have money to spend

It’s about a certain individual who insisted on specific targets last summer and wouldn’t budge

Now that every one is desperate, there’s a problem with availability in January

We need bodies to get to the summer with at least CL qualification

If Arteta isn’t happy with it.

He can resign in the summer and leave his £15 million/yearly wages on the table
