In fairness we will probably never see something as successful as the 1st 3 phases of the MCU ever again.
I was one of the mfs that lived through that time, and it is every bit as legendary as we say it was.
We’re gonna find out in a few years that little things like this were leaked deliberately to generate action on polymarket, kalshi, and the betting apps. Not even a veneer of integrity to anything anymore
Landon shares his gripes on pay-to-play in America.
“Somebody has to pay for soccer. The problem is, all these youth clubs now are grinding every penny out of every family. I have kids. I can afford to pay for it. My kid has four training jerseys. Why the hell does he need four? They have to use the hotels that our club tells them they have to use because the club’s getting a kickback from it. They have to use the insurance company. They’re traveling to Vegas from San Diego at eight years-old to play a game. This is ridiculous.”

Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:

- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.

Troy itself was an Anatolian trading hub
The Odyssey can be adapted into a space movie and it would still be relevant. Adaptations is how we honor those works and the lessons within them
You are a small small man who views life from a lense that cheapens it
