Unsurprisingly, there aren’t really any consequences:

The fact that the first-team transfer ban is suspended means that Chelsea may suffer limited consequences, if any, as a result of breaking the rules. The owners have a buffer against the cost of any sanctions imposed by the FA or Premier League, thanks to a “holdback” clause inserted into the takeover deal by the Clearlake consortium that bought Chelsea from Abramovich.

51% crude oil, 20% refining, 18% taxes, and 11% marketing leaves 0% in profit, which doesn’t really jive with the fact that Exxon did $48.87 billion in profits on $339.25 billion in revenue in 2024, which implies that at least 14% of the cost of the gallon of gas goes to profits.

So easy! If you wanna get paid, just already be getting paid et voila:

The best defence against this is to have lot of paying sponsors!

Good for her:

“I’m so honored to be here and I really want all the women in the room to stand up because I feel like I don’t get here without you guys,” Arkapaw told the audience.

Holding her Oscar, she said, “I have felt so much love from all the women on this whole campaign. I feel like moments like this happen because of people like you guys.”

She acted her ass off:

As Zhao told IndieWire late last year, Buckley was an early favorite for the role of Agnes. “I knew her work. I had a feeling that she wouldn’t be afraid. There was no vanity in her, which is what Fran McDormand had,” the filmmaker told our Anne Thompson. “I’m neurodivergent, and when there’s dissonance, I can’t function. I can’t look at the person. So I need that authenticity, and vanity is the number-one enemy of authenticity. Actors, their greatest blessing they can give to the world is their authenticity and their humanness.”

Sinners should have won but four Oscars is some comfort:

In the best picture category, “One Battle After Another” defeated “Sinners” — which won four Oscars, including lead actor and original screenplay — “Hamnet,” “Sentimental Value,” “The Secret Agent,” “Bugonia,” “Marty Supreme,” “Frankenstein,” “F1” and “Train Dreams.”

Oh of course🤦‍♂️

I was wondering when in the world that exchange rate would make sense. That’s definitely correct.

lol. Those Americans have never left the country and don’t have a passport.

If anyone’s curious what happened to the translation here, the original Russian is abbreviated — the full phrase would be «мороженое в ассортименте» (ice cream in assortment) — but they abbreviated assortment and Russian doesn’t have articles so they use them when you wouldn’t expect. Also, this is most likely eastern Ukraine because they quote the prices in both hryvnia and roubles.

Love to see women representing at every level of the game:

The former midfielder ended her career at Villa in 2022 and has progressed to become the club’s director of women’s football. As they prepare to dedicate Sunday’s home league game against Manchester City to International Women’s Day, it is noticeable that Ewers is alongside several other women in senior leadership roles at Villa. The club welcomed Maggie Murphy as managing director earlier this season and in Ewers, Murphy and the head coach, Natalia Arroyo, Villa are a rarity in having those three specific roles all filled by women, even before mentioning executive board members such as the chief people officer, Lisa Bailey, the head of football administration, Sharon Barnhurst, and the general counsel, Victoria Wilkes.

Ewers, Murphy and Arroyo work together daily in regards to Villa’s women’s team, bringing together three different nationalities and three different career backgrounds. “That’s a real benefit, also having three women who have experience in women’s football,” says Ewers. “We have a really big responsibility in helping other women step into the space. If women see it’s possible at a big club like this, it’s huge.”

It’s tough to say definitively because there are a bunch of dialects, but in mine (west coast USA), “on another continent” is correct and “in another continent” sounds a little off.

It is preposterous that we have to treat this as a good-faith argument:

Environmental advocate Jennifer Godfrey’s case, which has been dubbed the “orca appeal,” focuses on the alleged environmental impact of increased housing production on Puget Sound’s population of Southern Resident killer whales (SRKW). The appeal contends that the City didn’t analyze the impact of increased water runoff and reduced tree canopy on the health of the region’s most high-profile megafauna.

And we still don’t know why?

“After discussions between Caf and its partners, Fifa and other stakeholders, Caf decided to reschedule the dates of the Wafcon 2026, to 25 July–16 August 2026; to ensure the success of this important women’s competition, in the light of certain unforeseen circumstances,” Caf said in its statement. The Guardian asked Luxolo September, the Caf head of communications, to clarify what those unforeseen circumstances were, but received no reply.

Good on Australia:

“We’re willing to provide assistance to other women in the team, noting that this is a very delicate situation, and it is up to them, but we say to them, if you want our help, help is here, and we will provide that,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters.

“I don’t want to begin to imagine how difficult that decision is for each of the individual women, but certainly last night it was joy, it was relief,” said Burke, posting photos with the players to social media. “People were very excited about embarking on a life in Australia.”

I hoped since they are misdemeanors it wasn’t that bad, but it’s real bad:

Among the over 5,000 cases in this new backlog, at least 1,700 are domestic violence cases, which are among the most serious cases handled by the City Attorney’s Office. There are also at least 1,210 backlog cases categorized as criminal traffic cases, which include Driving Under the Influence (DUI) cases. Davison’s challengers criticized her alleged mishandling of DUI cases as part of their campaign pitches.

Uh-oh, seems like trouble in paradise:

Here’s an article that discusses llm use on the Linux kernel: https://lwn.net/Articles/1026558/

It’s a little older, but it might help to ground the conversation a bit.

We finally made it through the long winter and NWSL is back this weekend, baby! It kicks off Friday with Portland Thorns vs Washington Spirit and my favorite team, the Seattle Reign have their first game against the Orlando Pride on Sunday afternoon and I could not be more excited to watch some women’s soccer 😊
