Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae…

Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

"Hemos tomado 1.000 millones de dólares en criptomonedas de Irán, simplemente nos hemos apoderado de sus billeteras, muchos iraníes estarán escribiendo en redes sociales sin saber que les hemos robado sus billeteras".

Scott Bessent, Secretario del Tesoro de EEUU, se enorgullece de robar 1.000 millones en criptomonedas de Irán como si fuesen hackers y delincuentes cibernéticos.

Piratas Unidos con Trump ni siquiera tapan sus robos, son la mayor organizacion criminal del planeta.

The US has refused to host Iran's national team for the World Cup even though they have to play all their games there

Which means they're based in Tijuana and will have to fly on the day of their games

I've never heard of this kind of discrimination in World Cup history

Kimmel: I like your football jersey. Supporting Ukrainian team?

Chef José Andrés: My beloved Spanish team, of course. But Ukraine is my team today. They didn’t make it to World Cup, but today they're fighting the biggest match — for freedom and democracy.

Kimmel: Yes, they are.

Chef José Andrés: And can I tell you one more thing?

Kimmel: Yes, please.

Chef José Andrés: No civilian should ever be bombed. Not in Ukraine, not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not in Israel. No war! That’s why they are my team today.

Germany is conducting a nationwide experiment on whether austerity and neoliberal reforms really fuel the rise of the extreme right. So far it’s confirming the state of the literature. A new poll now has the AfD at 28 percent, a comfortable 6 percent ahead of the Conservatives.

Fidel Castro explains why the US despises Cuba and is desperate to destroy it: "Our country does not drop bombs on other people, nor does it send thousands of planes to bomb cities. Instead our country sends doctors to those most lost corners of the world."

Hey @JeremyClarkson as a small agricultural business that depends on trading at small local events, it’d be great if you could stop trying to pressgang your Hawkstone cider into every event we do. You don’t grow apples or make the cider yourself. Butt out - you’re bankrupting us

There’s something quite bizarre about a fallen prime minister who once called journalists “bugs to be crushed” now expressing concern about freedom of the press..

Massive bombshell. Rep. Ed Case explicitly confirms the Pentagon has lost a staggering 39 aircraft in the disastrous war against Iran, exposing the unprecedented destruction of American military assets.

Menschen, die Arbeitnehmer vertreten, als „ideologische Funktionäre ohne Bezug zur Realität“ abzutun, weil sie beim nächsten sozialpolitischen Kahlschlag nach der Agenda 2010 nicht artig klatschen, sagt mehr über Johannes Winkel aus als über den DGB.

„Das Prinzip der schamlosen Selbstbereicherung der Eliten wird mit geradezu, ja, ich sage es so, mit geradezu mafiaähnlichen Methoden durchgesetzt. Einschüchterung, Rufmord, Diffamierung, Korruption, Vetternwirtschaft, das alles ist an der Tagesordnung und es geht dabei um die Machtkonzentration und die Selbstbereicherung durch Einschüchterung, Desinformation und politischen Druck. Der Staat bedient dient in dieser ideologischen Vorstellungswelt ja lediglich nur noch dazu, zügelosen Egoismus durchzusetzen und soziale Kontrollmechanismen auszuhebeln.“
