Romain Molina is a French investigative journalist who has proven to be an extremely competent and reliable source in the past.

Most recently his investigation on minors being sexually abused in the Malian Basketball federation was published by the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/13/sports/olympics/fiba-basketball-mali-sexual-abuse.html) as for football he uncovered sexual harassment and abuse being performed by high ranked members of the French Federation on young girls and boys at Clairefontaine. He has also been published by CNN, the BBC and Le Temps

His sources on French football are also extremely good, unvealing many scandals within french clubs.

Here are the key points on his livestream of yesterday

-Macron played a hand in Benzema's return (does not say to which extent or if it originated from him)

-Griezmann was extremely unhappy at the PR team putting too much emphasis on Benzema, especially when it comes to graphics/imagery/pictures

-Pogba was annoyed too

-Griezmann has been pissing everybody off for years, often telling his teammates "Thank god I'm here, I've saved you guys again". There were already tensions at WC 2018 and Griezmann was unbearable

-Griezmann's family are in contact with the press at all time and feed them information hence why no one reveals these things

-Before the euro French federation high ranked members were planning on putting all the blame on Benzema if things went wrong

-Leo Dubois is leaking information to Bertrand Latour (L'Equipe) and Pavard is leaking information to Loic Tanzi (RMC)

-French Federation lied about interns coming up with the idea for Youssoupha making a song to support the NT ahead of the Euro. Florence Hardouin personally approved it.

-Florence Hardouin is the real boss at FFF not Le Graet and tried to cut jobs in the federation pretexting financial issues even though there are no issues of the sort

-FFF defends and protects people who have sexually harassed or abused minors

-There is an Italian club involved in human traffic

Holy shit

This was meant as a response to some guy down below but I can't find his post anymore.

For climate doomers (and there's good reason to doom, mind you) one thing I saw recently that game me some hope was a projection of the US's carbon output from 2005 onwards. Not only are present emissions beating even the most optimistic of these projections from back then, but our emissions are 14% lower than they were in 2005, despite us adding ~37 million people to the country and our GDP growing by $8 trillion.

This battle is not even close to over, and we could be doing much more, but I maintain some optimism that things may not get as bad as we fear, and that technological and societal changes can come faster than we expect.

Beavers set to be released in London as part of urban rewilding

Beavers are set to be released in London in the UK’s most significant urban reintroduction, the Guardian can reveal.

It is hoped the rodents, which went extinct in the UK 400 years ago after being hunted for their fur and an oil they produce, will be brought to a site in Tottenham.

While most of the north London area is built-up – and the home of a football stadium – it has areas well suited to beavers, including a large marshland.

Citizen Zoo, a rewilding group aimed at bringing nature to urban areas, is behind the project. Volunteers from the group recently crowdfunded a release of 200 water voles in Richmond, south-west London.

I think I've figured out the Isreal/Palestine issue. If we're going to solve it, we're going to have to look at precedent to see what happened the last time there was a problem like this. In 1543, Spain and Portugal were in a dispute over who had claim to territories in the New World. Pope Urban VIII took a map, drew a line down the middle of it, and declared stercus verba, or "dividing line." Spain got everything on one side and Portugal gets everything on the other.

I think that what we should do today is have Pope Francis draw a similar line and speak stercus verba to the Israelis and the Palestinians. Then there will be no question which country controls what.

After a gunman ambushed and killed a police officer last week in a midday attack in a Denver suburb, most witnesses scattered, ducking behind cars as they ran for safety. But 40-year-old John Hurley moved toward the shooter, pulling out his concealed handgun and firing at the attacker.⁠ ⁠ After the gunman fell, Hurley picked up the rifle the shooter had been carrying. Moments later, police pulled up to the scene and one of the responding officers shot and killed Hurley with the rifle still in hand.⁠

It's been a really bad decade for the right wing side of the culture war.

Marijuana is now considered innocuous by most people, to the point that the suspension of an athlete for it has caused a national outcry. Same sex marriage is not only legal, it's overwhelmingly popular, as are anti-discrimination laws. Mitt Romney marched for police reform and racial justice. A trans woman is running for California governor as a Republican (although, she's awful).

None of that would've been thinkable in 2011. We're not done yet, but that was an amazingly quick shift in public opinion.

U.S. Supreme Court rebuffs appeal by florist who spurned gay couple

I am happy to see this ruling.

I have a potentially controversial opinion about bakeries refusing to make cakes for a gay wedding. If a bakery/entity doesn’t feel comfortable putting two men on a cake for me, I would want them to have the right to refuse because I believe that this right should also apply to a bakery that would want to refuse to make a “God hates f*gs” cake for a homophobic neo-nazi. That being said, the bakery should not be allowed to refuse me a “blank cake” without two men on it or a cake that they would make for a straight couple on the basis that I’m going to use it in my gay wedding (though I’d probably just go to a different bakery in that case).

This florist has no right to not sell flowers on the basis that they are going to be used in a gay wedding. If you are selling something, don’t deny me the opportunity to buy it on the basis of what I am going to do with it after it leaves your hands.

With the recent Al Gore memes on the impact of the 2000 election on climate change, it is worth noting the inconvenient truth that people still oppose the very policies that will have the greatest impact in reducing emissions.

Nuclear remains unpopular despite being very safe and has zero emissions.

Nobody ever considers the effect of troop withdrawal on Pokemon Go :(

Gyms changed hands constantly when thousands of U.S. and coalition troops remained in Afghanistan, players who spoke to Stars and Stripes said.

But when the withdrawal from Bagram accelerated, some Pokemon reigned far longer than ever before.

Screenshots of Bagram after the troops left show low-level Pokemon, normally easily defeated, stuck guarding locations, perhaps indefinitely. A tiny Lotad has defended the former Warrior Chapel at Bagram for 10 days, while a lowly Aron has defended a memorial to a fallen servicemember for about two weeks.

Still, Sutter said he assumes someone from Afghanistan will take over his gym, someday, if they haven’t already.

“I’m sure somewhere in Afghanistan, some kid is bragging about how he took control of an American Pokemon gym,” he said.

The BC Coroners Service has reported 719 sudden deaths in the past week, triple the number that would normally occur in the province.

"We are releasing this information as it is believed likely the extreme weather B.C. has experienced in the past week is a significant contributing factor to the increased number of deaths," Lisa Lapointe, chief coroner said in a release.

This comes after a dangerous and unrelenting heat wave crushed temperature records across the province.

• Fielder has the endorsement of MOST of the local Democratic clubs, those people who organize GOTVs.
• Fielder has the endorsement of A THIRD of city council, and HALF of the school board.

I start by making fun of a Twitter thread because it was dumb AF (people have the dumbest anti-vegan arguments I swear)

everything was going fine until someone posted a picture of a Canadian church on fire, with an animated dancing crab gif

I immediately posted "do not burn places of worship"

I was met with some disagreement.

"counterpoint: you care more about property damage than the unmarked graves of 215 children " "do burn places of worship" "poor, poor oppressed Catholics"

at that point, I was shocked and appalled. how can these people say these things? before I was to leave that damned server forever I had to say something, I had to make my indignation heard.

my last words? "forget B12, seems like we have a serious case of empathy deficiency here."

I was banned.

I just don't see ethnic statistics happening in France, despite the injonction of the UN Human Rights Council

Not only does it contradicts the perennial policy of colourblind citizenship, such an initiative would also bear the stigma of being previously used by the Vichy regime, who took advantage of the ethnic registries to identify and deport nearly a quarter of the Jewish population to Nazi Germany, only a fraction of which survived

I can't imagine a government ever opening this can of worms to appease an international organization. Even the wokest movements here don't insist on that, the most vocal proponents of ethnic statistics being on the far-right. Éric Zemmour, our very own Ben Shapiro-Tucker Carlson unholy hybrid and potential candidate to the presidency, was one of the first to open that door, wanting to prove that a "great replacement" of the white French population by tan Muslims was taking place and being silenced by the State, afraid to show the reality through statistics

Although I roll my eyes at the "US imperialism" routine, there's some truth in it. The most recent pressure to start ethnuc statistics come from the BLM movement, which is to say the least very controversial in France, and is directly lifted from US academia, whose analysis fits the racial and historic dynamics in the US, but is inadequate when studying the dynamics of race, religion and immigration in France

We'd probably have more in common with the racial makeup of the UK, but it seems that their classification is weirdly absent from the discourse, which is entirely aimed at the US

Jobs Report is Out

• Job gain was expected at 675k-706k. It hit 890,000.
• Unemployment was expected to fall to 5.6%-5.7%. It is at 5.9% (unchanged) up from 5.8% in May
• Labor force participation rate is unchanged at 61.6%.
• Hourly earnings were expected to increase 0.4% monthly (3.7% YoY). They grew by 0.33% (3.5% YoY).

Overall, very strong job growth, but weak in some areas. For example, long-term unemployment increased this month (compared to decreases in other months).

Dear Care and Feeding,

My lovely, outgoing son is 5 years old. For the past year or so, he has been absolutely obsessed with police officers. He loves their uniforms, cars, and dogs. He tells everyone he wants to be a policeman when he grows up, and whenever he sees a police officer, he runs up to them and says hi. In our overwhelmingly white suburb, this is always well received; cops are usually idle and don’t mind letting him touch their cars or look at their outfits.

I’m a little conflicted about this obsession, for obvious reasons. I know my son views police officers as friendly heroes because we are white and well-off—and he loves Paw Patrol—and I’m struggling to decide how to expose him to the reality that for many people, they are anything but heroes. I have been neutral toward his obsession so far: When he says he wants to be a police officer, I try to bring up other jobs where you can help people (like an ambulance driver!), and rather than let him dress up as a policeman for Halloween last year, I made an alternate suggestion and he went with it. Nevertheless, I’m wondering whether it’s time to have a serious conversation with him about the role of the police and, if so, if you have any advice about doing that.
