I tweet about basketball, movies and music. I don't care how unrelated those are.

At this stage, the US government no longer cares a single bit about the public backlash. They are hosting the World Cup, and they know perfectly well that their global image will be instantly sanitized and aggressively repackaged by the sheer theatrical spectacle of the event.

When the tournament finally concludes, the enduring global memory will be of the winning team lifting the golden trophy in a massive, state-of-the-art American stadium, and absolutely not the memory of the CBP detaining a Somali referee in Miami weeks beforehand, or the Homeland Security shamelessly denying visas to the entire Iranian national team, or the ICE agents rounding up vendors outside the arenas, or border agents humiliating foreign journalists at the airport.

Even the notoriously corrupt suits at FIFA understand this game perfectly well.
They are currently being dragged, relentlessly harassed online, petitioned, ratioed, and begged by activists to say something, do something, and somehow defend the battered integrity of their beloved sport.
But they know that the glittering product they are selling (the World Cup tournament) is completely bulletproof. They just need to quietly endure the temporary humiliation for now.
Once the first whistle blows, they know that everyone will predictably move on, suffer immediate collective amnesia, and desperately channel all that righteous energy into screaming at the packed stadiums, yelling at their massive TV screens, weeping in crowded sports bars, cursing at the referees, and stressing over their multi-game betting slips.

This is the intoxicating, brain-numbing power of sport, and the ancient Romans weaponized this exact bread-and-circus distraction to the absolute core. The only real, effective, and financially damaging protest against this massive PR machine is simply a total boycott. Your angry online tweets, your thoroughly researched human rights reports, your lengthy social media threads, your viral video rants, your petition signatures, and your beautifully formatted Amnesty International press releases are completely, and hilariously meaningless at this stage.

the first F1 story of the season was “leclerc got married and his dog was there” the second story is “Aston Martin built a car that will kill the driver if they try to complete a full race.” Perfect sport, no notes

Hot take: it has never been more important in history to have REAL photos and videos come from smartphone cameras

@MattP1Gallagher I kinda hate it honestly..the big circular white patch on top looks like a mistake. Better than last year but not by much....

It's incredible how many fathers are open about how much they dislike their daughters? There's no greater joy than when my 3 year old "picks me" to come play with her.

I saw this TikTok of a girl completing famous phrases and went to look the others up, I’m using number 3 against my mother like mad😭

1. Curiosity killed the cat is actually “Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.”

2. Great minds think alike is “Great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ.”

3. Jack of all trades is actually “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”

4. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is way longer, it’s “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.”

5. The customer is always right is “The customer is always right, in matters of taste.”

Do you guys know any other half famous quotes??

▪️How casually racist some Sri Lankans can be
▪️How profiles based in other countries still spread division in SL
▪️Utter ignorance of the fact having a phone connection,let alone access to Google Translate, is a privilege during a national disaster.

There’s something deeply tragic about the richest man in the world having to order his AI to be reprogrammed until it tells strangers that he’s attractive

[Gehan @gehan99]

As a girl dad there is no greater joy when my 3 year old involves me in her washing and feeding schemes with her dolls, while she also pastes random stickers on my face. The insinuation that a dad can "better connect" with a son is just some trauma talking. Buy your own PS5!

Hilarious. I might watch Oceans 14 just for this.

George Clooney says the "Ocean's Fourteen" script is done and jokes that the franchise now has to live up to the Louvre heist.

Wow, it’s really cool that we can use AI to make fake CCTV footage of people committing crimes. Surely this has no downsides whatsoever.
