You have done the near impossible of making me click on a sport post.
I’m briefly in India. This is a facile observation, but Americans have barely scratched the surface in understanding how the rest of the world is reacting to this war. It’s already an Iraq War-style disaster in the global imagination, underscored by the thuggishness and caprice of the Trump approach
I haven’t had a car in 15 years but this makes me miss the 1959 Austin Healey I used to drive. Don’t even have a radio let alone a privacy policy.

This is a much more generous interpretation than mine, which is that Pokémon is basically cockfighting.
