We took the 6-yo to the optometrist with his monster mask ... and I think we finally have our own supervillain origin story.

@b50 I don't think 50 year old me will listen to the advice...

I take back all the times I’ve shared articles by these guys.

An incredible bit of sports journalism by The Guardian here. A short summary of the playing style of all 48 World Cup nations and a short profile of all 1248 World Cup players. Bookmark and refer to the resources when watching the obscure matches: https://t.co/tdLGq8en0o

Anyone else see display ads on twitter web? Like, square panel on the side type?

"Trickle down economics doesn't work, so let's try piñata economics. That's the one where we beat the billionaires until the hoarded wealth falls out."

What if, call me crazy, we introduced a wealth tax instead

Norman Finkelstein had a moral compass second to none. No idea why there’s criticism on someone who’s always been guided by core values no matter what.

[Current Affairs @curaffairs]

Norman Finkelstein responds to criticism of his comments on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens:

“How does 'mass deportations now' cohere with compassion for the people in Gaza? That to me is very strange."

@b50 Even in Toronto I’d balk at paying 300 Rs (or about 4.5$) for a black coffee.

And that's the truth.

@urvish2020 "amey to evvaj chhe" is a thing I've heard since I was a kid... it was the explanation for every thing!

[Irshad Daftari @daftari]

@aryxari Lol! Tbh it wasn't like that but yea, mighty cringe. Just killed the vibe

[Irshad Daftari @daftari]

Sigh. One of my happiest memories - speedboat on a beautiful Carribbean island, with island music vibes, with rum and coke; ruined cuz the Gujus wanted to Bollywood music. Took over the music - and everyone just deserted the floor

A group of Indians act like this abroad and the whole country has to suffer from racism

Seeing he’s a proper football tragic just like one of us …

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

“My relationship with my club began the same way it does for most football fans: before I was old enough to understand what I was getting myself into. When I was nine, my uncle introduced me to a team with a cannon on its shirt, a grizzled captain named Tony Adams, and players like Nwankwo Kanu who had been born in Africa but now lived somewhere else, just like me. Arsenal felt familiar before I even understood why.

“And then there was the manager, a man who I initially thought had been named after the club and then believed that somehow the club must have been named after him. Arsene Wenger may have struggled with his raincoat, but rarely with his orchestra. The football his teams played sang.

“But what was once the nostalgia of the past has become the beauty of the present.

“We won. We are champions of England. And we are just one game away from being crowned champions of Europe too.”

@ZohranKMamdani, mayor of New York City, writes for The Athletic on what Arsenal means to him.

Toronto, when?

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: New York and New Jersey have both issued subpoenas to FIFA, compelling the international soccer organization to disclose how it arrived at the unprecedented sky-high ticket prices for the World Cup.

The investigation will also look at other FIFA ticketing practices after fans reported being misled about seat locations and ticket categories.
