@azadessa I was confused that they had barricades up when I walked by. The space can accommodate a few hundred more people

@Ticketmaster I spent 30 minutes trying to buy US Open tickets. Every standard ticket was unavailable when I attempted to reserve them. Also, your site still showed the tickets as available.

How is this possible? @usta You should consider a new ticketing partner or system.

I set a calendar reminder for the Amex US Open presale this morning, logged on, and was greeted by 430,000 people ahead of me in the queue. Not sure how many are bots, but in 2026 there has to be a better way for brands like American Express to offer perks. Almost doing more brand damage than if they just didn’t offer it

Why is ticketmaster advertising seats that aren't available? I clicked out and my only options were resale lol

🚨🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry with an Emotional Speech as Arsenal wins the 2025/2026 Premier League Title 🥹❤️

“22 years… 22 long years of waiting, dreaming, suffering, hoping and believing. let that sink in. Today, Arsenal are finally Premier League champions again and honestly… this one feels different. This one is emotional.

I know what this football club means to the people. I know what those fans have been through. People laughed at Arsenal, people mocked the club, questioned the players, questioned the process, questioned whether this team could ever come back to the top again. But they stayed together. The supporters never stopped believing.

And I have to say this… without Mikel Arteta, this would not have been possible. What he has done for this football club is unbelievable. He brought back the identity, the discipline, the connection with the fans and most importantly, the belief. He suffered, he learned, he stayed strong under pressure and today he deserves all the credit in the world.

Also, respect to Josh Kroenke and Stan Kroenke because they trusted the manager when many people wanted change. They supported the project, they stayed patient and today they are seeing the reward for that trust.

To the players… thank you. You gave everything for the badge. You fought for each other, for the fans and for the history of this football club.

And to the Arsenal supporters around the world… enjoy this moment. Celebrate it with your families, with your friends, with everyone who stayed loyal through the difficult years. Because tonight, Arsenal are back where they belong.

Champions of England again.” ❤️

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

What he was protesting was Trump using PEPFAR to force countries to give up rare minerals in exchange for HIV drugs. There is no bottom.

@THEKIDMERO They stole my family's brownstone and then sued us when we asserted rightful ownership with the county clerk, producing our 50 year old deed. They had been renting our property for years without our permission! This is rampant in Black New York.

If I am The Atlantic, I do not file motion to dismiss. I go straight to discovery and wait for summary judgment. Get Kash Patel on the record under oath. A lot of great content there by the way. Set a precedent that you will fight and you will seek to punish.

Michael Jackson had to cut a deal with a drug lord to film this video. The Brazilian government tried to block the shoot. A judge banned the filming. The police refused to enter the area.

Rio was bidding to host the 2004 Olympics and didn't want the world seeing footage of its poorest neighborhoods. So Spike Lee walked into the favela (Rio's version of a hillside slum) and found the local crime boss. His name was Marcinho VP. He ran one of the city's biggest gangs, Comando Vermelho. He also happened to be a huge Jackson fan, and he provided the whole production with security for free.

A higher court eventually overturned the ban. The police still wouldn't go in. So 1,500 police officers and 50 residents acting as security guards sealed off the favela. Jackson arrived by helicopter. He walked the streets handing out candy to the kids. The people who lived there had woken up early that morning to sweep the streets and take out the trash before he got there.

Mid-shoot, two women burst through security. One knocked Jackson flat. Spike Lee helped him up and he kept dancing. That exact take is in the final video.

For the Salvador half of the shoot, he worked with 200 drummers from a local group called Olodum. The media coverage put them on the map in 140 countries. They'd been a regional act before the shoot. They became a global one after.

Over 200 million people watched the premiere around the world. The song itself peaked at #30 in America. In Germany it went to #1 and stayed on the chart for 30 weeks, the longest run of any Jackson song there. The video crossed 1 billion views on YouTube in 2023. Only one other Jackson video has done that: Billie Jean. He's the first solo male singer from the 1900s with two videos over a billion.

The day after Jackson died in 2009, Rio's mayor announced they'd put a statue of him in the same favela where the video was shot. Locals said the turnaround of their neighborhood started with his visit.

Guy in my SEAL platoon faked being shot in combat and later was elected to the US Senate, where he assaulted a Marine and broke his arm for speaking up against Israel.

NEW: A case challenging DOGE’s access to Social Security data has been sent back to a lower court after "alarming" new evidence revealed personnel of the faux-agency may have worked with an outside political group challenging election results — a fact not disclosed during earlier proceedings. https://t.co/oCXFK1wB0s

New huge investigation from me & partners @OCCRP and @GuardianAus.

This picture, which has never been seen before, shows Donald Trump Jr. and Zach Witkoff, the son of Trump's "peace envoy" meeting in Singapore last October with Jacky Sui (in glasses), one of the main people behind AB, a new blockchain network.

AB and the Trump+Witkoff family's World Liberty Financial partnered last year to integrate WLFI's stablecoin, USD1, on AB's blockchain.

The agreement came just months after AB announced another unrelated "flagship project": a crypto-themed resort in Southeast Asia.

It turns out that that the resort, in the tiny, impoverished country of Timor-Leste, involved people sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged ties to the world's biggest cyber fraud and human trafficking syndicate, the Prince Group.
