Nice score…

Lots to like about women’s soccer.

All HEEL Queen Alessia Russo!

No striker wants to be a super sub, but so far it is working to perfection for England forward Alessia Russo.

The Manchester United player has come off the bench in all of the Lionesses’ Euro 2022 group matches and is now the joint-second top scorer at the tournament.

With four seamless goals, fans are referring to the 23-year-old as ‘Lessi’, likening her to Argentina footballer Lionel Messi – Often considered the best player in the world.

Hopefully the vid stays up. It is a good goal.

Who wants to be a stripper?

Progressive feminists pretend every sex worker is a girlboss

One of the few things that has remained constant in 200,000 years of human history is our fascination with the female form: a source of desire, inspiration, even obsession. And the only thing more exciting than a woman’s naked body is a body that is not yet naked, or never entirely so, glimpsed bit by bit in a slow unveiling that stops short of sex itself. “The Daughter of Herodias”, a 19th-century poem by Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, rhapsodises about the dance of the Biblical character Salome, who titillates her male audience into a state of “mid ecstasy” by artfully showing only so much skin: “The veils fell round her like thin coiling mists … And out of them her jewelled body came.”

Guilty pleasure…

Squid Game: the hellish horror show taking the whole world by storm

What if winning playground games could make you rich? That’s the basis of Squid Game – the South Korean show currently at number one on Netflix around the world – where debt-ridden players sign up to compete in six games for a cash prize of 45.6 billion won (around £28m). The small print: if you lose, you get killed. In the first episode, a game of Grandma’s Footsteps (known as Red Light, Green Light in South Korea) leaves bodies piled high as the shell-shocked winners proceed to round two. It’s blood-splattered child’s play – a kind of Takeshi’s Castle with fatalities, or Saw with stylish shell suits.

It was late, I couldn’t sleep and nothing caught me eye so I clicked on Squid Game.

Binge watched, it is good in that late night time waster way.

The Century Crammed Into a Year Mercifully Ends

2020 was mostly peaceful protests occurring within a mostly healthy year during which toilet paper remained mostly available.

Gerry Cheevers, Mr. Wrestling II, the Dread Pirate Roberts, and Zorro felt really at home in 2020. Everyone else wishes for the next few hours of this century of a year (so epochal that an entire nation, Chaz, rose and fell and both a plague and its vaccine announced themselves) to pass faster than you can say Alexander Vindman.
