I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity

🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the Brazil, Morocco, and Netherlands press conferences, where questions in Spanish were reportedly not permitted for Hakimi, Vinícius Jr., and Frenkie de Jong:

“I have covered World Cups for years, and this situation makes absolutely no sense to me. You’re telling me a World Cup co-hosted by Mexico can stop journalists from asking questions in Spanish? That’s like hosting a Formula 1 race and banning cars from using their engines.

We saw it with Hakimi. We saw it with Vinícius. Now we’re hearing similar stories involving Frenkie de Jong. The players understood the questions. The journalists spoke one of the most widely spoken languages on the planet. Yet somehow the language became the problem.

Gianni Infantino talks about inclusion, diversity, and bringing football to everyone. Fine. Then explain this contradiction. How can FIFA celebrate diversity in every promotional video and then create headlines because Spanish journalists are being told to switch languages at a tournament hosted by Mexico?

Spanish isn’t some obscure dialect spoken by a handful of people. It’s the language of hundreds of millions across the Americas and beyond. If a journalist from Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, or anywhere else asks a question in Spanish and the player understands it, why is football creating barriers where none existed?

The irony is unbelievable. FIFA keeps telling us football belongs to everyone, but this controversy has many fans asking whether some voices are more welcome than others.

Maybe there’s a logistical explanation. Maybe it’s a translation issue. But perception matters. And right now the perception is terrible.

Because what fans are seeing is simple: a World Cup hosted partly by a Spanish-speaking nation, players who understand Spanish, journalists who speak Spanish, and officials telling them not to use Spanish.

If that’s progress, somebody needs to explain it better. Because from the outside, it looks like football’s governing body is tripping over its own message.”

“FIFA wanted a celebration of diversity. Instead, they’ve handed the internet a controversy that won’t stop being discussed.”

31 Minutos no solo nos regaló nostalgia con su Tiny Desk, también se atrevió a lanzar una crítica con su clásico humor a las políticas migratorias de Estados Unidos.

El primero en hablar fue Tulio Triviño, quien dijo con ironía: “Esta es la primera vez en Washington D.C. de 31 Minutos, que es exactamente el tiempo en que expiran nuestras visas de trabajo”.

Además, adaptaron la canción “Objeción Denegada” con un guiño directo al tema migratorio: “Alza la mano si se te venció la waiver, alza la mano si tú eres ilegal”.

Incluso crearon un nuevo personaje: un cocodrilo vestido como agente migratorio. Una metáfora del ambiente de vigilancia y tensión que viven muchos migrantes, y que en este Tiny Desk tenía la misión de “cuidar” al grupo chileno para que no se quedaran más de la cuenta.

Sin duda, 31 Minutos, con su humor y corazón latino, logró lo que pocos han hecho: recordarle al mundo que el arte también puede ser una forma de resistencia.

you were literally there at the nonviolent protests that everyone considered to be violent and unpopular so i have no idea what this statement does other than lean into the hysteria that gives trump enough momentum to mobilize the marines on us soil illegally!

"ha ha i can tell you were born a guy" oh you simple beast. you bumbling neanderthal. it is not the point of a statue to hide that it is born of marble, or the job of a novel to disguise the handwriting of its creator. why would i care to be any different?

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.

I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.

Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.”

Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…

[ちぃたん☆／Chiitan @chiitan7407]

Chiitan is a Japanese mascot🏳️‍⚧️

If Chiitan needs money, the best option would be to not get involved in LGBT issues.
Because after Chiitan declared herself an ally of good transgender people, I received a lot of criticism and insults.
I've lost some jobs.

But it's okay.
The extent to which Chiitan is criticized,
This is a small issue compared to transgender people being able to live loving lives.

Whether Chiitan criticizes gender differences or approves of them, you will wake up tomorrow and eat lunch normally.

Even if the whole world recognizes gender differences or not,
You will continue to live a normal, happy life.

Transgender people just want to live happy days without pretending to be who they are, just like you.

That's the kind of trivial happiness transgender people are looking for.
That's what good transgender people want.

Please treat them with love, even if you don't understand them.
Your love will become the trigger that envelops the world. Chiitan loves you and the world.

We will deliver a message to the world with all of Chiitan's love🤍

you mean i am supposed to believe that all these people who have said nothing of the dutch child rapist competing in the olympics care deeply about women’s safety and ethics in sports

Hay un violador en los Juegos Olímpicos que fue condenado por violar una CHIQUITA DE 12 AÑOS, pero a ustedes les quitó el sueño una boxeadora que pega duro.
