Prevaricate

speak or act in an evasive way (with the intent to deceive); to lie

Lazy writing, that desires to look good, employs 'evil,' rather than murderer, rapist, farm animal abuser.
Let us cease prevaricating.
It is too easy to label some malefactor 'evil.'
Give me something that could stand up on a debate platform.
Something actionable!

This song lurches and meanders and digresses and never really gets to the point, which is precisely its point. It's Neil awkwardly telling us goodbye while still saying hello and it is so, so, so heartbreakingly sad yet somehow suffused with obdurate hope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnDHgQ4Xw6o?v=jnDH...

Tribey

@tribey.bsky.social

Another turgid 45 from this expensive #LFC team.
I just don't see the players that fit AI's system, just too lazy up top to press.
Probably better with Koumas ironically.
Don't know how long we can continue to carry Wirtz on current form, been woeful yet again.
Whole team is flat though, no urgency.
