Fifa president’s talk of the Club World Cup promoting access and equity is simply double-think to disguise another land grabIt takes a while for the voice to emerge from the background haze, a mist of generically noodling electronic music, the kind of music that comes filled with a comforting sense of death, hold music from the executive euthanasia clinic.Finally the voice emerges, whispering through your headphones in that familiar rich, reverent Euro-tone, like being spoken to by the sun. This is a voice that says: I am here to command. But I am also just a conduit for a divinity that flows through me and into you. Although mainly, and let’s be absolutely clear, through me.

7 d. ago The new definition of antisemitism is transforming America – and serving a Christian nationalist plan

Redefining antisemitism in the law was never about Jewish safety. It is about consolidating authoritarian power under the veneer of minority protectionIn 1919, Jacob Israël de Haan, an Orthodox Jewish queer poet and lawyer, arrived in British Mandate Palestine from the Netherlands. Despite his initial sympathies with Zionism, within a few years de Haan would become an outspoken critic of the movement. Driven by what he called a “natural feeling for justice”, he advocated for “another Jewish community in Palestine” – one that sought cooperation with the Arab-Palestinian community.

2 w. ago McLaren’s Lando Norris edges Piastri to claim pole for F1 Australian Grand Prix

Norris beat teammate by eight-hundredths of a secondMax Verstappen third, Lewis Hamilton eighth in FerrariWhen the gloves finally came off for the very first competitive session of the new Formula One season at the Australian Grand Prix it was McLaren who emerged as clear front runners. With pole position claimed by Lando Norris by just eight hundredths of a second from his teammate Oscar Piastri what was perhaps most striking about their front row lockout was the sheer extent to which the papaya cars bossed it on the high-speed blast through Albert Park in Melbourne.The fight for the top spot in the end was a tense battle but only between the two McLaren drivers.
