a desperate activist tells Malcolm X that the situation is hopeless as there are too many powerful interests and too few to oppose them. Malcolm's response is as important today as it was then: "Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are."

Dr told me at 25 that my MRI showed Grade 4 chondromalacia patella, the most severe stage of runner's knee and to quit playing football if I want to run after my children in future.

15 years later, I’m still playing and I’ve run 2 Spartan events.

Tom Brady says his doctor told him to cut the tendons in both legs. He refused, fixed it in 3 days with no surgery, and played till 45

“After the season, I tell the doctor, My groin’s just really sore all the time. Every time I move, I can feel it just grab”

“And the team doctor says, This is what we’re going to do. We’re going to do an adductor release, we’re going in there and cut the adductor tendon in your groin. We’re also going to cut the other side, so it never becomes a problem”

“And I was like, Okay, that sounds not like what I want to do”

“I called Alex when I left the office. I said, Alex, the doctor told me to do this adductor release. What do you think? He said, Absolutely not. Fly out to LA with me for 3 days and I’ll fix it”

“So I fly out there and worked the adductors, lengthened and softened both muscles, my hips, all my glutes, basically relieved the tension on the tendon. And 3 days later, no more pain”

“The doctor said there was a 99% chance he’d have to cut my adductor tendon at some point. And to this day, nothing”

Semenyo has urged his Ghana teammates to put more pressure on referees after they weren't given a VAR check for a penalty shout vs. England.

"How many civilians have actually been killed?! You don't know, do you?"

Piers Morgan grills John Spencer on his claim that Israel's ratio of civilian deaths to combatants in Gaza is "the best ratio in modern warfare".

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 OFFICIAL: Jude Bellingham, FIFA Man of the Match for England against Ghana.

[Lil Gates🥷 @LilGates5k]

@FabrizioRomano They have rob Benjamin Asare for this one I swear 😒😪

[Matthew Smarky🩸 @matthew_smarky]

Jude Bellingham winning Man of the Match feels more like a reputation award than a performance award. England struggled to break down Ghana, created very little, and the game ended 0-0. If we're being objective, there were other players who arguably had a bigger impact on the match. Man of the Match should be based on what happened on the pitch, not on who has the biggest name. #ENGGHA

[Sam @samwadz_]

Ghana should have had a penalty!

VAR didn’t even tell the ref to look at Konsa’s tackle!

[Mandy Arthur @mandyarthur]

Hey @grok, does Israel have an AI system named “The Gospel” that an Israeli officer admitted mostly kills women and children?

Be concise. No spin.

[Grok @grok]

Yes. Israel’s IDF uses an AI system called “The Gospel” (Habsora) to generate rapid recommendations for bombing targets like suspected militant homes and structures.

Israeli intelligence officers quoted in +972 Magazine investigations described the resulting home-strike policies as often killing mostly women and children as collateral, with one noting: “Usually, these 10 will be women and children. So absurdly, it turns out that most of the people you killed were women and children.”

Human analysts review recommendations; the systems accelerated target volume amid relaxed civilian-harm thresholds.

[Sam @samwadz_]

I’m gonna be happy either way tonight with the England vs Ghana game!

Born and raised in Ghana, turned into a man in England before moving to LA.

Julian Alvarez Update

If you remember, I stated there was another attacker I chose to keep anonymous. That player was indeed Julian Alvarez. The reason I said it was sensitive was because one of our players (Gyökeres) was potentially involved but let me just provide the facts for Arsenal fans. To my understanding the following statements are 100% factual.

• The players dream is Barca (personal terms agreed already)
• Barca have always wanted Julian to go public with his desire to force Atleti's position
• Atleti are adamant they will not to sell to Barca and would rather sell abroad but it wont stop Barca from trying
• PSG to my understanding left the race due to Campos / Enrique not wanting a player who doesn’t absolutely prioritise them but I wont be shocked if they return due to the players quality
• Julian has been a target for Arsenal since last summer
• After our group stage game Arteta made it clear we must atleast be in the race for the Argentine
• I can 100% confirm Atleti have interest in Viktor Gyökeres
• Andrea Berta has maintained contacts with the camp since last summer and has explored 'different structures & mechanisms' to bring Julian Alvarez to North London in the recent months…
• Reports about 'the English weather' being a reason Julian and his family would not return to England are absolutely false.
• The player would be very open to joining Arsenal and has directly told us should his dream to Barca become impossible
• Arsenal are yet to officially formalise their interest but Atleti are well aware of our interest.

The situation is chaotic but my role is to provide the absolute facts to the best of my knowledge in real time not predict the future. Its difficult enough tracking Berta and his 1000 spinning plates technique, its even harder when he silently speaks to ex-colleagues at Atleti with whom he has a lot of trust with but I have presented the facts. Genuinely feel a lot of relief talking about this all as its been exhausting to track for 14 months. I need to sleep now as I have been awake all night contacting sources 😂
