Ruslands invadering af Ukraine har fyldt, og fylder fortsat, meget i nyhedsbilledet.

I denne udgave af Mediano Sport & Perspektiv sætter vi lys på de sportslige konsekvenser ved den nuværende konflikt mod Øst. Hvad er op og ned i sagen med Chelsea og Abramovich, skal russiske idrætsudøvere udelukkes for internationale begivenheder og hvordan kan diverse begrænsninger ramme Putin og hans igangværende planer?

Rykker det noget, at Manchester United opsiger deres aftale med flyselskabet Aeroflot eller når den tyske storklub Schalke 04 fjerner deres hovedsponsor, Gazprom, fra maven af spillertrøjerne?

Det søger vi svar på her.

De sportslige konsekvenser ved krigen i Ukraine

Mediano Data-holdet med Jeppe Rud Skak og Benjamin Leander har i disse påskedage leget lidt med tanken om et Data Preview og ført idéen ud i livet med 76 minutters data-optakt til runde 25. De lover ikke, at idéen kommer igen, for det vanlige Preview-hold med Monnerup og Dickoh er tilbage igen efter højtidens afslutning, men betragt udsendelsen her som en anden måde at gå til optakterne på, nemlig med et kig ned i data, odds og sandsynlighed - naturligvis uden at nævne betting og fiduser med et eneste ord.

Der tales om kampene på følgende tidspunkter:

00:05:40 RFC-FCM
00:16:10 AGF-VFF
00:24:56 OB-VB
00:35:06 SIF-FCK
00:44:14 BIF-AaB
01:03:00 FCN-SJE

Mediano Data Preview - runde 25

First jam with Elektron's Syntakt. Syntakt only, nothing else going on here.

Elektron Syntakt - Taktful

Rightists have spent the last couple of days freaking out and invoking Orwell's 1984 in response to something their political enemies are doing in America, and for once it's for a pretty good reason. The Department of Homeland Security has secretly set up a "Disinformation Governance Board", only informing the public about its plans for the institution after it had already been established.

Oh God It's Going To Get SO Much Worse

I've been watching The John Wayne Gacy Tapes on Netflix, which features previously unheard recordings of the serial killer known as "The Killer Clown" who murdered at least 33 teenage boys and young men in the 1970s. I wasn't able to finish it because I don't have that kind of stomach, but what jumped out at me listening to him was the way he talked about how much he loved power and what an easy time he had manipulating his way up the ladders of political influence.

Really makes you think about how many psychopaths who are just a little bit more functional must be in politics today, on all levels. Psychopaths who are deeply messed up inside but not quite so messed up that they enjoy strangling teenage boys to death after raping and torturing them. Or if they are that messed up they're clever enough to avoid getting caught. Or if they are that messed up and not clever enough to avoid getting caught, but their fetish for murder and suffering is satiated by something that's considered politically acceptable in our society, like war.

On Psychopathy, Power, Empire And Ego

As we hydroplane toward the brink of nuclear armageddon while Bono and the Edge play U2 songs in Kyiv, it's probably worth taking a moment to highlight the fact that this entire war could have been avoided if the US had simply pledged military protection for Zelensky against the far right extremists who were threatening to lynch him if he enacted the peacemaking policies he was elected to enact.

Celebrities have been particularly odious empire sycophants these last few days, and it's probably worth taking a moment to reflect on what's going on when that happens.

Celebrities Are Such Scumbags Because They're Invested In The Status Quo

We're in the final countdown to British Home Secretary Priti Patel's decision on the fate of Julian Assange, with the WikiLeaks founder's extradition to the United States due to be approved or rejected by the end of the month. Joe Lauria has a new article out with Consortium News on the various pressures that Patel is being faced with from both sides of this history-making issue at this crucial time.

And I can't stop thinking, as this situation comes to a boil, about how absurd it is that the US empire is working to set a precedent which essentially outlaws information-sharing that the US doesn't like at the same time western news media are full of hand-wringing headlines about the dangerous threat of "disinformation".

about
"The song is basically about nightmares, but in particular about a disease called 'pavor nocturnis'.

It was a song written during a lockdown afternoon in 2020, so it's one of the most recent on the record.

When we actually recorded it, I said to Spread 'this solos needs A LOT of divebombs!', which I'm glad he did!" - Giov
lyrics
As night goes by
I woke up sweating tears

Blood spill through the eyes
Skin peels away

As night goes by
I repeat to myself

Bad Dream, why all to me?
Cripple fear, freeze the breath
Bad Dream, it's just a Bad Dream
Wake me until I'm here

As night goes by
Howling screams are all I hear

Strange eons pass me by
On the tide, death on me

As night goes by
I repeat to myself

Bad Dream, why all to me?
Cripple fear, freeze the breath
Bad Dream, it's just a Bad Dream
Wake me until I'm here

As the sun goes down
and the moon turns red
It starts again!

Bad Dream, why all to me?
Cripple fear, freeze the breath
Bad Dream, it's just a Bad Dream
Wake me until I'm here

If your teeth fall out
The inner demons will call you out

If the waves break loud
There is something to worry about

Bad Dream
