Me sigue alucinando lo lejos que está comunicativamente la NBA de cualquier competición de fútbol. Mientras la Premier League está preocupada de borrar de Twitter repeticiones de goles y dificultándote el acceso al contenido, llega la NBA y te sube casi 4 minutos del final de uno de los partidos más importantes del año.
Jamás entenderé de dónde viene la creencia de que si le das a la gente parte del contenido gratis, van a dejar de pagar por el producto completo. Nadie va a dejar de pagar por la NBA por ver este vídeo, pero sí que alguno puede empezar a interesarse gracias a él.
Look at how the PSG players immediately stopped appealing the moment the referee waved it away. Only Marquinhos approached the ref, and the bench stayed calm. Zero drama.
Now contrast that with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. When Madueke pulled down Nuno Mendes and intentionally went down looking for a soft penalty, the Arsenal players threw a collective tantrum on the pitch. Arteta rallied his entire bench, screaming at the officials for almost a minute and nearly interrupting the game.
That’s the exact brand of tactical tantrum he throws in the PL to bully weak English referees who completely lack authority.
What makes Arteta truly embarrassing is his shameless desperation. Later on, when Gyokeres’ shot got deflected for a corner, Arteta was up in the fourth official's face demanding a handball penalty. Then we saw the replay, and the ball wasn't even close to a PSG player's arm.
He’s a certified embarrassment to the beautiful game.
In Taiwan, a college student came up with a masterplan to scam over $1M in insurance money.
First, he completely froze his feet in a bucket of dry ice for 10 HOURS to force double amputation of his legs.
His next step was to claim “frostbite from motorcycle ride” and wait for the big payout.
It didn’t work.
Cops instantly spotted the perfectly symmetrical damage along his sock lines and concluded it was self-inflicted.
He was convicted, lost both his legs, and received zero compensation.

Marc Andreessen on JRE: AI hasn't replaced coders. It turned them into vampires.
"The opportunity cost of going to sleep is too high because if you go to sleep, you won't be with your 20 AI coding agents."
This is why the shift to everyone hating each other has been so hard for millennials.
Many of us went to diverse schools where everyone basically got along. Sure, jokes were made & bad people existed, but there was a general code of respect.
Social media + rage bait ruined that
Este fue el penal que marcaron a favor del Al Hilal…
En Arabia quieren que Cristiano Ronaldo pierda la liga por lo civil o lo criminal.
El Al Hilal es casi tan corrupto que el Barcelona JAJAJAJ 💀
Brett Kavanaugh, a man in his 50s, had been valedictorian of his high school, at Yale College and a star student at Yale Law, had clerked for the Supreme Court, had a top career as an appellate lawyer and federal judge and a pristine reputation, and then a random woman from the town he grew up in claimed he had groped her at a party 35 years earlier when they were in high school.
Kavanaugh didn’t try to argue that the incident was consensual. He didn’t claim he remembered things differently than she did. He immediately stated that he had never even met the accuser. Denying ever meeting the accuser is a much stronger claim than merely denying assaulting her, and much easier to refute. After Kavanaugh made this denial, Christine Blasey-Ford no longer had to prove he had sexually assaulted her to scuttle his nomination, she only had to prove that the two of them had attended a party together at which such an assault might have occurred.
She was unable to do so. She did not know whose house the alleged assault occurred at. None of the people she claimed attended the party corroborated any aspect of her account. Leland Keyser, a friend of Blasey-Ford’s, who the accuser claimed was at the alleged party, said she recalled no such event and had never met Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh produced a detailed calendar he had kept during the summer Blasey-Ford alleged she was assaulted, which included his whereabouts of every weekend night and listing who he was with. Kavanaugh argued that he could alibi himself and provide witnesses for any night Blasey-Ford claimed she might have been at a party with him. Blasey-Ford responded that she did not know the date of her assault and was not entirely certain it even occurred that year. Instead of being seen as persuasive, Kavanaugh’s calendar was mocked in both mainstream and social media because the reason he kept it was for a drinking contest he was having with his friends.
Nearly a decade later, there is still not a single shred of proof or a single witness who will corroborate the claim that Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey-Ford were ever in the same room before she testified at his confirmation hearing. Nonetheless, people like Nick Kristof still claim Kavanaugh was “credibly accused” of sexually assaulting this woman.
