It's been coming for a while, but Russian forces now officially ordered to retreat from Kherson. On top of that, any candidates sympathetic to Russia (or Trump) in the US midterm elections have generally been taking a bit of a pasting.

Excellent day for Sholing down in the lower leagues, 4-0 against 2nd in the league Exmouth and now six points clear at the top with a goal difference miles better than anyone else. Look the team to beat this season.

Good job the sanctions aren't having any effect or I guess they'd be in real trouble...

Unconfirmed reports that the frigates Admiral Makarov and Admiral Essen were hit, as well as a minesweeper, and a landing craft. Also seems that a submarine pen in Sevastapol was hit. There’s convincing video that the Admiral Makarov was hit and on fire for a few hours at least, starting around 4:20 this morning and extending into daylight hours. There’s also more recent speculation it’s actually sunk. Even if it hasn’t, if it’s confirmed it was on fire that long, it’ll be out of action for the foreseeable future. Either way, seems that, in a fight against an adversary with no navy, Russia has lost its flagship. Twice.

Game of two halves, didn’t take advantage of ‘our’ half. Annoying. On to the next.

It’s a good sign, especially in terms of getting through this winter, but it also indicates that more storage capacity is needed.

Ukraine now apparently advancing on all fronts. Towards Svatove/Kremina in the North West Ukraine are approaching the outskirts of the city. What’s left of Wagner seems to have broken itself against Bakmuht and is finally being pushed back. There’s still an information blackout about Kherson but Russia certainly aren’t claiming any victories. Meanwhile the shift to blaming Satanism instead of Nazis is amusing, but seems to be part of a broader info strategy of abandoning old lies that don’t have any traction any more in favour of new ones as the old ones break against the reality of Russia’s performance in the war. While the tone of State TV has been changing over the course of the war, there seems to have been another noticeable recent shift. The Moskva sinking actually being attributed to Ukraine is an interesting one. Being that scathing about the state of Russia’s forces too. The state of Russia’s nuclear capability being openly questioned on state tv is surprising to say the least. One common thread that’s still there, and always have been, is that these failures are attributed to people who aren’t Putin of course. Seems to me they’re preparing the ground to shape it as a ‘victory’ when they heroically manage to stop all of NATO and Satanism at Russia’s border with Ukraine.

That was a great game to watch! Either team could have won but a draw felt fair in the end, great point for us to pick up, and St Mary’s remains a bogey ground for Arsenal. Our equaliser was a beautiful beautiful goal! Looking forward to seeing replays of that.

And now conceded two quick goals to be 2-1 down Still top of the league though.

Sholing are having a brilliant season in Southern League Div 1, currently winning today to remain top. If they go up they’ll be eligible for the Dafuge or Youth Challenge in next year’s Football Manager.

They’re probably complaining that Forest raised their game because they were against Liverpool

League looking ridiculously tight this season, 8 points between 7th and 20th.

Add Man Utd into that list this season too!

Gerrin! Hard fought win there, but we were able to close it out professionally there.

Che Adams outstanding tonight.

Great goal to put us 1-0 up. We’ve looked decent in spells but between Bournemouth knackering themselves with a ridiculously high press, us playing some long ball to break that, and the ref having a Bournemouth shirt on under his, it’s been a bit patchy. We’ve been able to break through a few times, if we can get one of them to count we’ll be in a very nice position.

Bloody hell ref, it’s not Old Trafford or Anfield.

Gerrin!

Russia documented using artillery last produced in 1949 now. That doesn’t mean it’s completely ineffective of course, but it’s telling that Russia can’t provide anything better than that to those troops despite 70 years of military production as one of the world’s military superpowers in the meantime.

So you’re trying to make some point, large scale peer reviewed studies don’t back that point up, and you’re looking for smaller data sets in the hope that they’ll back you up?

Trousers was asking a series of questions to try to get you to figure out for yourself that anecdotal cases aren’t anywhere near painting the whole picture. You obviously hadn’t got that so I was supporting his argument in a different way. In short, no, anecdotal cases aren’t anywhere near being as important for the purposes of vaccination policy.For a start it’s countless anecdotal cases that are being used to create the large scale data. To take the opposite extreme as an example, one person being vaccinated and not getting ill wouldn’t mean that the vaccine was proved to be effective.

Because individual immune response varies? It’s not difficult. You’re conflating anecdotal cases with the recorded large scale effect of vaccination reducing transmission, severity, and mortality.

If it prevents you getting it, that protects every other person you would have been in contact while ill. This was a tested effect. Contributing to herd immunity was one of the effects that’s saved thousands of lives.
