1. Offside position It is not an offence to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if: any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit.

Me (a white guy with , glasses, brown hair, and a shitty wiffle I gave myself), head down and playing air guitar as I walk into a room. I’m wearing brown Levi’s 511s (RIP) and a white Propagandhi t-shirt with the cover art from Todays Empire’s, Tomorrow’s Ashes on it. It’s a cheap apartment so everything is painted over white 100 times . An old radio from probably the 70s and a pair of big KLH speakers (I think) also probably from the 70s are behind me, as well as a brown dresser with a little potted plant on top of it.

Three piece band Propagandhi on the stage at the Mideast downstairs in Cambridge. The lead singer and guitarist is on the left wearing a bright orange hat and a Millions of Dead Cops muscle tee, and is tuning his guitar. A drum set is visible at the back of the stage and the bassist is a blur on the right.

Picture of a black greyhound with a lot of white fur on her snoot because she’s getting old. She’s lying down on a couch with her eyes closed and her snoot and two front paws snuggled over my leg which is under a blanket.
Still, we want to be clear: In opting not to support Harris, we are not naïve enough to think we can opt out of politics altogether. Instead, we believe we must challenge institutions devoted to the status quo in the US and, crucially, in Israel. There are so many ways to engage. When it comes to Gaza, you can protest—and keep protesting—until universities and workplaces divest from weapons manufacturers. You can support downballot candidates who support Palestinians. You can shut down highways. Interrupt speeches by war criminals. Boycott institutions and companies that profit from and perpetrate genocide. Give to mutual aid networks in Gaza and Lebanon that attempt to counteract the harm caused by US tax dollars. Don’t just unsubscribe but boycott news outlets that feed the genocidal rhetoric—and tell them why you are unsubscribing. And don’t stop talking about Gaza wherever you are.
A still from the episode "Doug En Vogue" of the Nickelodeon show Doug. Doug is gesturing proudly to a closet full of six outfits identical to the one he's also currently wearing; brown shorts and a short-sleeved white shirt under a green vest. His dog Porkchop is dramatically holding the closet door open and Doug is pointing to the outfits with a pointer like you'd use for giving a presentation in the 1990s. The intent of all of this is to prove to his friends that he doesn't dress like Dylan Farnum from the hit show Teen Heart Street, but that he's always dressed this way.
Our demand for creating automated drafts of documents is so incredible, Microsoft tells us, that it is running out of electricity to spark the data centers providing this vital service and nuclear power, even if supplied by a decades old plant, best known for being the site of a partial meltdown, is their, and we're encouraged to think, our last, best hope to keep the document summaries flowing. In the science fiction stories I read as a boy, nuclear power took humanity to the stars and energized the glowing hearts of robots. In the world crafted by the tech giants, it helps us create pivot tables for spreadsheets the sales team must have, lest darkness fall.
David Brion Davis had the courage and honesty to argue the disturbing thesis that, during the era of the American Revolution, those who opposed slavery were complicit with those who favored it in settling on race as its explanation. We must be courageous and honest enough to admit something similar about our own time and our own actions. Those who create and re-create race today are not just the mob that killed a young Afro-American man on a street in Brooklyn or the people who join the Klan and the White Order. They are also those academic writers whose invocation of self-propelling "atti-tudes" and tragic flaws assigns Africans and their descendants to
But race is neither biology nor an idea absorbed into biology by Lamarckian inheritance. It is ideology, and ideologies do not have lives of their own. Nor can they be handed down or inher-ited: a doctrine can be, or a name, or a piece of property, but not an ideology. If race lives on today, it does not live on because we have inherited it from our forebears of the seventeenth century or the eighteenth or nineteenth, but because we continue to create it today.
Meanwhile, many well-intentionea Dentevers in truth and justice succumb to biological determinism, the armor of the enemy, when they see around them the ugly signs that racism continues to thrive in our world. Weary of the struggle, they throw up their hands and declare that racism, if not genetically programmed, is nonetheless an idea so old and entrenched that it has "taken on a life of its own." They thereby come much closer than they realize to the views of those they ostensibly oppose. Although it is now frowned upon to attribute biological disability to those designated to be a race, it is eminently fashionable to attribute biological disability-or its functional equivalent—to those demonstrated to be racists. Either way, Africans and their descendants become a special category set apart by biology: in the one instance their own, in the other that of their persecutors.
A black greyhound with a bit of white fur on her face and chest lying down on a couch. She has her head perked up and is looking past the camera into the distance, and has one ear back and one very large ear standing up straight and listening, like she hears something but she’s not quite sure what it is yet.
