BBC coverage has been pretty good so far, they just did a bit at half time pointing out that the carbon neutral claim for this world cup is bullshit made of smoke, mirrors and book cooking lol

Most of them time they buy carbon credits from sources that are at best shady and at worst just straight up a scam.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:But it’s a holiday week that’s already jam packed with sporting events including nfl games nba games and most college sports rivalry games. November conflicts with three of the countrys four most popular sports it’s just about the worst time in terms of tv competition that's true but there's very little on before Thanksgiving day and early in the day and white collar people don't have much to do it'll be interesting to see what happens with the numbers compared to other countries' declines in viewership

Unfortunately, it appears to be an extremely long-running anothology series of TV movie police procedurals without any linking core characters.

Fun fact: he an apartment in Trump Tower just for his cats. I don't think you can say "I am guilty of committing financial crimes for decades" any louder by having a $6k/mo. apartment for just your cats.

If anyone’s hungering for a hilariously and disturbingly lovely and tone deaf film, I recommend checking the FIFA financed United Passions from 2014, about the history of FIFA. It came out just as the Blatter bribe business had picked up steam on tens of millions of budget from FIFA, and actors like Gerard Depardieu, Sam Neill and Tim Roth featuring. It was just mindblowing to me how that kind of hagiography seemed to be in any way a good idea unless the organization had been just huffing their own farts for way too long.
