“I’ve never regretted anything I’ve done. I’ve only ever regretted the things I didn’t do.” Guardians, Cavs, Nicholas Jamal Chubb fan, Go Dayton Flyers!
Look what it means to the 40-year-old Cape Verde goalkeeper, Vozinha 🥹
The joy of the World Cup is that two hours ago, few knew his name. Now everyone on the planet is saying it with awe and respect. What a performance, what a result 🇨🇻
🚨🗣️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.”
Wait, Ramaswamy was paying a bodyguard who was dealing fentanyl at the same time?
Was the guy conducting business in Vivek’s car and plane? Next to Vivek?
Was he dealing on the same phone he used in staffing and communicating w Vivek?
So many questions.
13 years ago this month, the Guardian broke the Snowden story...the biggest mass surveillance exposé in history.
Today it calls your concern about ID-linked browsing, spyware in your photos and messages, and broken encryption, "fake outrage" while Starmer's government demands backdoors into your iCloud and calls for people to be arrested for tweets.
The watchdog became the lapdog.
The President of the United States is promoting his own crypto coin at a UFC fight being held in front of the White House. That is a real sentence. What are we doing.
I used to play Xbox 360 late into the morning when I was in school. My parents found out and started turning the router off at night.
Amazingly they didn’t require a parliamentary majority and royal assent.
Hey dumbasses,
“Biolabs” are research facilities, the type that track things like tick diseases.
The US does fund them globally, including in Ukraine, that’s not a secret.
Pretending it is a secret and pretending it’s something dangerous is a literal Russian talking point.
