🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

Growing up in South Africa, coding always felt like it belonged to someone else's language.

@MightiJamie A class CB. Crazy that he's only 20 years old, that boy has a bright future

[Nkululeko @artNwar]

@Eskom_SA Lmao! As we or I politely asked last week, I mean the pattern is recognisable at this point. Just give us a schedule for Dobsonville Ext 3 so we can just prepare ourselves every fortnight. Manje ngapha nis'kwatele, no updates at all.

Day in the life of a Liverpool fan:

• Arne Slot sacked
• Arsenal lose the UCL Final
• Gabriel misses the losing penalty

Mood 😍

[Nkululeko @artNwar]

Football won today 🙂

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.

He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.

@Eskom_SA No, the FUTURE IS NOT BRIGHT and certainly not Eskom. I'm a young person who can't operate their business today and I can't even get a mere update or acknowledgement from Eskom of a power outage that occurred at 7am this morning in Dobsonville Ext 3 and surrounding areas.

[Nkululeko @artNwar]

@Eskom_SA At this point you should give us a schedule so that we can prepare ourselves since we seem to have a power outage every 2 weeks in Dobsonville Ext 3 and we buy this shit mind you.

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@Eskom_SA Lol! What? We already have no power since yesterday at 12. On top of that about an hour ago you lied about power being restored and now this! Fucking clowns.

[Nkululeko @artNwar]

WTF! How can they just lie about this.

#StatusUpdate

Electricity supply is restored in Dobsonville Extensions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 through backfeeding from an alternative source of supply. Jointers have been dispatched to work on cable repairs and restoring supply to the remaining customers in Dobsonville Ext 5 and Old Dobsonville. We will provide updates as work progresses on site.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

[Nkululeko @artNwar]

@Eskom_SA Bullshit! Dobsonville Ext 3 still has no electricity. Ridiculous.

[Nkululeko @artNwar]

@Eskom_SA You have us preparing our very young kids for school in the dark, during winter! I knew lights will still be out in the morning considering when you posted the update. There probably was no one on site...

[Nkululeko @artNwar]

@Eskom_SA Does not updating us mean you're not aware of the issue in Dobsonville Ext 3?
