"Dalian trailed Chengdu by 14 points with five matches remaining, seemingly destined to finish runners-up. They even trailed by as much as 18 points with Aloisi and Co. seemingly en route to their maiden CSL championship.

Instead, Dalian won five consecutive matches while Chengdu collected just one point, losing four straight games to surrender a title that had appeared theirs for the taking.

Both teams finished on 52 points, with Dalian crowned champions courtesy of their superior head-to-head record, rather than goal difference."

That's mad!

Though an Aussie would have been on the winning side either way 👍

    It's the unnecessary reliance on apps devices that I'm worried about.

    My old robot vac was relatively dumb. It had an app, and you could control it by that, get some stats and other handy stuff. But you could put it anywhere, press the start button, and off it would go and successfully clean the area. The app wasn't really required.

    My new robot vac has heaps of extra features. But to run at all, it requires the app. So, if the app stops getting updated, or stops working, or is incompatible with an android update (for me), then it's trash.

    Reliance on apps is becoming the norm.

    I'm really concerned about new cars. Many seem to rely heavily on OTA for servicing, diagnosis, updates and functionality. With the shakeup in the car industry, how will things go when the brand disappears? And it seems like a lot of them will, including a plethora of the newer Chinese brands...

    With the 2026 midterms closing in, Republicans are facing an unpopularity crisis as gas prices skyrocket and the war in Iran drags on. In this new special, “Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Red Flags,” Klepper hits the MAGA campaign trail to see if anti-communist hysteria, God's pronouns, and old-school Islamophobia can hold the GOP's fraying coalition together.
