Getting back into card collecting. Have so much junk wax.

@WorldWideWob - very important question.

If you’re starting a basketball squad off Game of Thrones characters, who’s your starting 5?

Why is Twitter the best and worst place on the internet?

Me and the boys going to FIFA Headquarters to appeal Balogun’s red card so he can play against Belgium 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Jaylen Brown has never pushed off with his left hand and any tweet that has said otherwise from my account is AI generated fake news.

Ok this ref is legit horrible right? I’d say FIFA should investigate but he’s their kind of corrupt.

Team USA.

For being supposedly super tough Eastern Europeans, these Bosnians sure do flop a lot.

Could be the biggest losing day for the Japanese and Germans in quite some time 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[backinthegame @backinthegam3]

The slow walk up PK is possibly the worst strategy. I don’t understand the concept or plan behind it. You lose all power by the time you actually get to the ball for contact.

Germany deserved the L. Big ups to Paraguay, unreal game!

Father’s Day is easily the worst holiday. Please prove me wrong.

@darrenrovell I’ve noticed people have conveniently left out the 2024 sale when sharing this card! Had no idea about that one so thanks for sharing.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
