Hello

[Rasmus Jarlov @RasmusJarlov]

So, I have now watched two NFL games. Here is my Ted Talk on how the US Americans should make American rugby more attractive to us Europeans. (Because that is very important):

1) Europe should host it every year.
2) You should change the rules that I dont understand.
3) Get rid of any teams from cities that Europeans can not find on a map because they probably dont even exist.
4) Once Europeans start playing it, we will the best at it, because we have the best athletes.
5) In fact, we are probably already the best.

Say what you want about Toronto Stadium, but the view is incredible: Lake, moon, golden hour, it has everything.

@shhhbreslin Do you know how exhausting it would be for the players after 120 minutes of regular+OT? They are already covering on average 10km per match during regular time.

@StackGeneral @DarioCpx Ummmm that was before the Plaza Accord.

[Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri]

Holy shit.

Maradona in 2018 on the day the World Cup 2026 was awarded to USA, Mexico and Canada, goes on saying:

“They will do 4 quarters of the game instead of two halves so to put commercials, you’ll see”

@waterboystocks Just rename itself General Mills AI, it will skyrocket.

Uh oh... CNBC just admitted AI demand is falling and that's why SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI are rushing to go public.

If CNBC is telling you this, the party is already over. 🚨

[Suraj Sharma @suraj_sharma14]

Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.

The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.

AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.

And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.

We built the library.

Someone else started charging admission.

We’re 4 years into what will soon be the largest default crisis in history, and not a single company outside of semiconductors has benefited from Ai.

The data centers and hyperscalers are hemorrhaging cash and drowning in debt.

The LLM are illiquid with no sustainable path forward due to having to subsidize all of Ai to the point profitability is mathematically unachievable.

The end user has never proven a productivity gain above the cost of labor in an even still subsidized usage based model.

Trillions into the worst financial crisis in American history. No return.

[Canadian Tax Guy (Mohammed Al-khooly) @CanadaTaxGuy]

I’m a CPA and tax expert.

Canada has a lot of silly taxes and dumb tax rules.

But exit taxes actually make sense.

And it’s not some sort of ‘theft’.

In fact, many countries (including the US) have them.

I LOVE THIS FINAL

[Erik @pumpkin_oranges]

@Pivot2Centre Of course, when the USA is pretty much the only country that can print unlimited amount of monopoly money due to the reserve currency status.

JUST IN: SpaceX valuation nearly equals the combined value of every major US IPO since 2000

[Erik @pumpkin_oranges]

@maskuleninsan This is CRIMINAL

[Financelot @FinanceLancelot]

The 2026 AI bubble is different from the 2000 Dot-com bubble in one simple way. Unlike 25 years ago, this time the companies utilized private credit to fund the bubble instead of public markets.

While the sudden IPO surge of 1999 triggered a near vertical move in markets, that vertical move this time was fueled with debt instead of stocks.

The 2026 IPOs are not designed to fuel the bubble, they're designed to provide the liquidity necessary so the wealthy, early investors can get out.

To summarize, while the 1999 IPOs marked the beginning of the vertical move in markets, the 2026 IPOs will market its end.

IOC needs to be looking at this World Cup fiasco and start immediately planning for moving the 2028 Olympics out of the US.

[Antifa_Ultras @ultras_antifaa]

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:

• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.

• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.

• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.

• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.

• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.

• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.

• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.

• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.

• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

This is a pretty striking shift toward Chinese models by American AI startups since the start of the year. https://t.co/80uaCWQCRE
