I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.
Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...
The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.
That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.
Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.
Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.
🚨 DOCTOR CLAIMS SMOKERS WERE "IMMUNE" TO COVID — AND PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE SAID NEXT
A clip from This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von is going massively viral after physician-scientist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough made a claim that completely blindsided viewers.
Theo asked a simple question:
“Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”
McCullough's answer?
"There's one adult group... you're gonna laugh. Smokers."
He went on to claim that smokers often experienced milder cases, were less likely to develop long COVID, and that nicotine may interfere with the COVID spike protein's ability to interact with certain receptors in the body.
But the conversation became even more controversial from there.
According to McCullough:
• “Nicotine itself is not harmful to the human body.”
• “It's addictive, but it's not harmful to the human body.”
• nicotine is a cognitive enhancer and nootropic
• nicotine patches are being used by some physicians for long COVID patients
• and the real danger from cigarettes comes from tar and combustion byproducts rather than nicotine itself
The clip is now going viral across social media because it challenges one of the most widely held assumptions people have had for decades about nicotine.
Now the comments are completely divided:
• “This is the opposite of everything we've been told.”
• “Nicotine and smoking are not the same thing.”
• “Why wasn't this discussed more?”
• “I need to see the research.”
Do you think nicotine's reputation is deserved, or has it been misunderstood for decades?

Warren Buffett: "The bottom 2% in terms of income in the United States, the bottom 5%, and for sure the top 1% all live better than John D. Rockefeller was living when I was six years old."
"John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in the world and, today, you can get better medicine, better education, better entertainment, better transportation. You can do everything better than he could."
"When I was born, the dentist didn't use novocaine!"
So "Pride Month" is in full effect.
As such, I think it's a great time to remember the sage words from the master, Norm Macdonald, and his thoughts Pride.
The second he boards a plane, every single man worth his salt begins daydreaming about breaking a hijackers neck and later given a medal for his actions.

Bill Maher asks how Mississippi is kicking California’s ass in education, and Texas is “blowing them away” in green energy for “way less money.”
“Did you know that a black fourth grader in Mississippi is two and a half times as likely to be proficient in math and reading as one in California? Mississippi is kicking our ass in education and for way less money. We’re 37th in fourth-grade reading, they’re ninth.”
“Texas is kicking our ass in green energy. The average time to get solar panels connected there is three to four months. About 1,000 days faster than it took me. Remember when I was trying to get my solar hooked up? It would have been quicker to build a windmill.”
“Texas has passed California in solar and blows away California when it comes to wind and energy storage. How does a state with no pro-climate policies produce better climate results than a state where here, even though we have so much better bumper stickers on our Priuses?”
“I’ll tell you why. Because you’re allowed to build there because every third person in Texas isn’t someone whose job it is to make sure nothing gets done.”
“Democrats, these are your issues: education, race, the environment.”
“And I say this with love: you’re losing to the Waffle House, car-on-the-lawn states.”
