They’re coming for everyone’s homes because you let them do it in Palestine

The backlash against this continues. Wouldnt be surprised if this is the tournament's legacy. Sky high ticket prices and hydration breaks.
Rugby is heading to US in 2031. World Rugby better take note.

I cannot stop crying …

The whole world has forgotten us in Gaza.

WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS, WE NEED YOU.

Next Up, Pakistan. 🔜

The #T20WorldCup rolls on, leaving little time to dwell as attention quickly turns to Wednesday night’s showdown at Edgbaston. 🏏🇿🇦

With one challenge behind them, #TheProteas now turn their focus to the next. 👊

I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is.

University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages.

Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.

There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.

If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.

Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:

Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.

Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.

You saw this…
and kept scrolling.
That’s how we disappear.
If you stopped,
leave anything.

My family needs $100 to buy food 😞🙏

Journalists sitting on massive scoops about important people in this country—stories the American people deserve to know—just so they can sell books later is everything wrong with journalism today.

Jurriën Timber: “Curaçao is my mother’s island and my family’s home. To open a Cruyff court on this island means a lot. This pitch is for the next generation to come together, play and chase their dreams. That’s what football can do” 🇨🇼

Happy three week anniversary to those who celebrate. ❤️

Jd Vance will go down in history as the only VP that used the situation room to cover up his bosses involvement in a sex trafficking pedophile ring 👍

Your legacy is secured jd Vance 🙄

@SageKnowsAll They alluded to her being cold in private, just a few days ago. And that headline and your words remind me of her at Ascot (where in a second she went from smiling to so angry), and with a few school kids where she rolled her eyes at their question and said “what else”.

Dad, tell me about those 17 minutes where Curaçao were level at 1-1 against Germany’

[nenn (fan) @FCB_nenn]

Curazao marcó, se incendió el partido y te meten un cooling break para matarte el ritmo

Esto no es fútbol, no podemos permitir que hagan esto a nivel de clubes

🚨🚨 Multiple Portuguese players at Portugal’s national team World Cup training camp in Palm Beach, Florida, have complained about repeated alligator sightings!

According to sources close to the squad, several players have reportedly refused to leave their hotel rooms after spotting “at least four” alligators near the practice fields and walking paths. ⚠️🐊

[Jocelyn @jossieu]

@NazliHamilton Don’t forget the sunburn 🫠 they’re going through it 😭

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

The “hydration” break utterly destroying Curaçao’s momentum. I hate you Fifa
