Nah bro, fuck this shit.
This housing bill is one of the most ACTUALLY effective (non performative) pieces of legislation that will directly affect real cost-of-living for the majority of Americans in a LONG time.
Fuck. This. Shit.
Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.
My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.
They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.
"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."
He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.
And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.
It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.
Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.
It's a real mess, man.
That guy sucks.
🚨🇲🇦 ALERTE INFO !
"LA VIE DE MA MÈRE, IL M’A VIOLÉE. IL M’A DOIGTÉE DE FORCE"
👉 La femme qui ACCUSE Achraf Hakimi de l’avoir VIOLÉE s’exprime pour la TOUTE PREMIÈRE FOIS.
Elle ne souhaitait pas avoir de rapport sexuel et l’avait déjà signifié par message avant d’arriver chez lui. Pourtant, Achraf Hakimi n’aurait pas respecté son consentement en la caressant, avant de l’installer sur lui à califourchon puis de lui introduire ses doigts dans le vagin, furtivement.
"Arrête, arrête, enlève, enlève", aurait-elle répété devant le juge d’instruction.
Achraf Hakimi nie totalement les faits.
"La seule chose que j’ai touchée, c’est son dos", a-t-il déclaré en audition.
👉 Dans la nuit du 24 au 25 février 2023, Jeanne*, 24 ans à l’époque, se rend au nouveau domicile d’Achraf Hakimi, où le joueur parisien venait d’emménager après sa séparation avec son épouse, avec qui il a deux enfants.
Les deux échangeaient depuis plusieurs semaines sur Instagram. Les messages versés dans la procédure seraient légers et courtois, "à peine du flirt".
C’est surtout Achraf Hakimi qui revient à la charge et insiste pour la rencontrer. Dans la même soirée, le joueur parisien avait déjà accueilli une autre femme chez lui. Celle-ci n’a pas souhaité avoir de rapport sexuel et ils se sont quittés sans incident.
Il tente alors une deuxième soirée avec Jeanne. Récemment séparée de son premier amour, cette dernière est encouragée par ses copines à se changer les idées. Les deux célibataires finissent par convenir d’un rendez-vous tard dans la soirée.
Le début de la soirée ne fait pas débat : ils discutent et s’embrassent à plusieurs reprises. Ensuite, les versions s’opposent totalement.
Peu après, Jeanne quitte l’appartement et appelle une amie, Claire*, pour venir la chercher. Les images de vidéosurveillance la montreraient seule dans la rue, en train d’attendre la voiture. Achraf Hakimi avait pourtant d’abord indiqué aux enquêteurs l’avoir raccompagnée dehors.
🚨 Des SMS envoyés presque en temps réel jouent un rôle central dans le dossier.
À 1h27, dix minutes après son arrivée, Jeanne écrit à son amie :
"Il m’a attrapé… La bouche… Jv partir."
À 1h31 :
"C un forceur"
"J’ai dis Jsuis pas comme ça"
À 1h50 :
"C très grave"
À 2h18 :
"Je rentre"
"C très grave"
"Je t’en supplie… Dépêche-toi… Stp"
À 2h19 :
"Il me viole"
"La vie de ma mère il m’a violée"
"Il m’a doigté"
"De force"
À 2h20 :
"Stp viens, jv tomber dans les pommes."
Ces messages sont considérés comme accablants par les juges qui se sont penchés sur le dossier.
La défense d’Achraf Hakimi, elle, dénonce un "montage" et évoque une possible tentative de racket. Elle s’appuie notamment sur d’autres messages envoyés avant la rencontre, où l’amie de Jeanne écrit sur le ton de la plaisanterie : "Essaie de choper les codes", "On va aller le dépouiller"
Jeanne assure qu’il s’agissait de blagues entre copines avant un rendez-vous. Elle affirme n’avoir jamais demandé d’argent.
"Même pour des milliards d’euros. Je ne souhaite ça à personne."
À ce jour, aucun magistrat chargé du dossier n’a donné crédit à la thèse du chantage.
La défense pointe aussi le refus initial de Jeanne de se soumettre à certains examens médicaux et psychologiques, ainsi que son refus de laisser son téléphone sous scellé. Elle explique que toute sa vie et son intimité s’y trouvaient. Elle a finalement été expertisée deux fois par une psychologue.
Jeanne dit aujourd’hui se sentir "seule, pas soutenue, pas comprise".
"Je suis tellement mal vue. Il m’a tellement salie."
Elle affirme aussi que la médiatisation de l’affaire l’a profondément détruite : "Ce qui me fait le plus de mal, c’est la médiatisation plus que l’acte en lui-même."
👉 Pendant ce temps, la superstar du Maroc, Achraf Hakimi, disputera ce soir son deuxième match du Mondial face à l’Écosse, alors qu’un procès pour viol l’attend désormais officiellement.

For me Ronaldo is nowhere near the top 5 goat debate
Greatest goalscorer ever? Maybe. But even that is questionable when you’ve played about 17,000 games and spent half your career hunting stats like your life depended on it.
People worship the numbers without mentioning the ridiculous amount of games he needed to get them. Give Suarez or Zlatan the same number of matches and the same obsession with goals and records and they’d be putting up crazy numbers too.
Greatest athlete ever? Maybe.
Most disciplined player ever? Maybe.
Greatest footballer ever? Absolutely not
You can’t spend 90 minutes camping in the box, waiting for cutbacks, tap ins and penalties, then expect me to call you the greatest player ever. At some point we have to separate being a goalscorer from actually being a footballer.
If 40% of your highlights are tap ins and another 30% are pens, that’s not GOAT material to me. That’s just elite stat padding with incredible longevity!
In case you are wondering what happened here, let me explain.
During an open South Korea training session in Guadalajara ahead of the World Cup, a live microphone accidentally captured a private conversation near the media zone.
The voices were mocking captain Son Heung-min, sneering at the way he led the running drills and, worse, ridiculing his military service with vulgar, dismissive remarks.
The problem is they were also wrong.
Son earned an exemption from the full 21-month service by winning gold at the 2018 Asian Games, then completed a four-week basic training course at a marine unit in 2020 and fulfilled his alternative service obligations in full.
The facts are well documented, which made the mockery look as ignorant as it was disrespectful.
JTBC, whose cameras picked up the audio, denied the voices belonged to its reporters and muted the clip in re-uploads. Korean fans were furious, directing their anger at the speakers rather than the player.
The fallout now reportedly includes tighter control over player and media access in the Korea camp. Protecting the squad before their biggest tournament in years.
Basically, they are signaling to the journalists to respect the people carrying a nation's hopes. It costs nothing.

It’s really tiring to hear Europeans make the same statement about the World Cup every cycle. You can go back and read the same things every time there’s an effort to include more of the world in the game. You already have the Euros, that’s not what the World Cup should be.
@BigSwingingNuts@MorrisonDe71517@TeaKupps 40 years ago in soccer? 200 years in the world? when the average life expectancy was 40, women and other minorities had no rights, and technology was not advanced at all? gtfoh
📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks."
"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
Denying him entry was one thing but they're literally calling this innocent man a TERRORIST now and tarnishing his image in front of the whole world. Sick bastards.
