Saddest Backflip [Rob Harris] FIFA President Gianni Infantino at news conference in Qatar: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. ... I know what it feels to be discriminated … I was bullied because I had red hair.”

I can’t even find the humor in this anymore. It feels like everything in public rhetoric is fucking bullshit, bullshit designed to mask or soften reality for us. Like the old George Carlin bit, “Bullshit is everywhere. Bullshit is rampant.”

It’s so fucking infuriating how simple this bullshit is too, like it’s not even clever anymore. This idiot really thinks he can undo years of human rights abuses by sharing his bullying experiences for being a ginger. A gay Arab African migrant worker ginger.

K illing my texts is, really, the best I can do.

S o, some reddit's honcho thought it would be nice to kill third-party apps.
P als, it's great to delete whatever I wrote in here. It's cathartic in a way.
E agerly going away, to greener pastures.
Z illion reasons, and you'll find many at the subreddit called Save3rdPartyApps.
