We began 2024 with the release of our seventh album, People Who Aren’t There Anymore. After the long stretch from the release of ALAYA through the lost touring years, this was the first time in a while that an album could fully live its life in the world — release, tour, and connection.

Tuchel on why no Palmer or Foden - on Palmer: "He didn't have the best season and wasn't decisive. He competes with Jude, Rogers and Eze who had better seasons." On Foden: "It hurt me to call him, I could tell how it affected him. I was not sure what his best position is - is it a 10, false 9 or 8?"

You think you chose your political side, but did you really? The competitive system isn't just about voting; it’s programming how you see the world and locking you into a box. It’s time to realise that treating politics like a team sport is breaking our ability to think clearly.
St. Paul is an incredible place, and the home of our second One City One Take. The concept is simple: One very long unbroken take exploring the city. You can either watch it all at once, or skip around using chapter markers. I hope you enjoy.

I feel like this clip of people firmly chanting “You are Nazis” at a diligently neutral grip of cops is a good illustration of the dynamic. The cops actually trying to deescalate and not engage is the closest these protestors will get to an apology for the wanton violence unleashed on them.
