#JuveUCL #ForzaJuve

🎙 @chiellini: "We are coming from a good period, Saturday's match doesn't hurt us. We are fighting for all of our goals and now another big goal begins. We're going into it with enthusiasm, albeit aware of the obstacles."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @chiellini: "@FCPorto defend very well, they are a physical team and we will have to be good at breaking them down and avoiding their counter-attacks that can be devastating."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @chiellini: "We are all four centre-backs of a high level. The choices come down to the coach and for our part we know that we must always be ready, accepting every choice. The team wins, we alternate, and there is a great feeling among us."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @chiellini: "The emotional aspect will also be important, but we experienced something similar in the #CoppaItalia. In the #UCL there are more pitfalls because the opponents are less known to us, we will have to be good at not making the mistakes of the last two seasons."
🎙 @chiellini: "Knowledge in training as well as in the match allows you to improve the awareness with all your teammates. @Cristiano is an added value and we are fortunate to have his experience daily."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @chiellini: "Since we drew @FCPorto I started studying their forwards. They are dangerous both in the spaces and on crosses, but they also have excellent players out wide. We will have to be ready and not allow spaces."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "They are a compact team, very good at defending and narrowing on two banks of four. It will take patience in not forcing the play and not allowing counters."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "The #UCL it is a particular competition, different from the league. There are so many teams fighting to win, everyone wants to do it, and it really depends on which moment you're in when you face the teams. It's important to be mentally ready."

#FCPJuve
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "We began the season to achieve all the objectives. We are at the halfway point and competing on all fronts, this is the most important thing. We had a good match on Saturday, only the result was missing so we are not worried."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "@FCPorto are different to us. In the league they are more offensive, whilst in Europe they are more cautious. We try to play in another way, but sometimes we also have to defend."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "@aaronramsey is available, @PauDybala_JR is not ready and @bonucci_leo19 is out. However, they will still travel with us because they all want to be close to the team."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "In the offensive phase we can do better by creating more to finish more chances. We've missed @PauDybala_JR's goals a bit and we haven't had him available often, we hope he can find continuity and will be like a new signing."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "@Cristiano is coming back to his country and will want to score as always, especially in this type of match."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "@AlvaroMorata has played a lot. He came back from a muscle problem, then he had the flu so in the last period he was never 100%. He's happy, he's fine, he just needs to score like all forwards. We believe in him."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: Both @AlvaroMorata and Kulusevski are fine. Tomorrow, after the finishing touches we will evaluate who to play from the beginning. Both have done well lately."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "I faced @CoachConceicao many times as a player. He had great technique and remained in the hearts of the Portuguese. He is also doing very well as a coach with @FCPorto."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙 @Pirlo_official: "We will have to play a careful game and we will have to be calm by not allowing them to capitalise on our mistakes."

#FCPJuve #JuveUCL
🎙🔚 That's all from @Pirlo_official's & @chiellini's #FCPJuve presser.

Watching this play sent me down a memory hole that gave me goosebumps as well as a pang of guilt. Let me explain. A THREAD!


In 2011, I was hosting the ESPYs. Marshawn’s run was nominated for Best Play, an award that was voted on by fans online. It was considered a front runner if not a lock.

Two days before the show, we're all watching the US/Brazil game in the Women’s World Cup. In the 122 minute Abby Wambach scored a header from a brilliant cross via Megan Rapinoe. I asked ESPN’s estimable producer, the late, great Maura Mandt if we could add it to the nominees.

The best thing about the ESPYs is, unlike other award shows that take themselves too seriously, there is a “fuck it, why not” attitude so Maura just made it happen. Maura was great at making things happen. Want another example?

One of the highlights of the ESPYs is the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. When my son Ashe was born Maura gifted him this fake ESPY for BEST CHILD NAMED ASHE. I am confident this is the only ESPY anyone related to me will ever win.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
