Super friendly tidbits about sports, TV, film and mental health.

🚨 Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly speaking facts:

"Africans can’t have their people" at the World Cup because of US travel bans.

Every other team gets their fans. But Global South teams like Senegal get blocked while the West lectures everyone about "inclusion" and "human rights".

This is the same empire that bombs, exploits, and restricts — then cries when others resist.

Football should unite people, not separate them with racist visa policies and double standards.

Stand with Koulibaly. Stand with the fans. Stand with the Global South.

No bows. Just raw truth. 💪🏿🇸🇳

Iran was the third most common nationality of refugees on small boats in 2025.

It was the number 1 nationality of refugees coming to the uk in the last 20 years.

This chancer has made his career off the suffering of the “wonderful Persian people”

Spain’s MEP, Irene Montero:

“They say Iran has nuclear weapons — sounds like what they said about Iraq.”

“But it is Israel that has nuclear weapons.”

“The U.S. is the only country to ever drop a nuclear bomb.”

“Today, Israel and the U.S. are the greatest threat to humanity.”

Richard Burgon is absolutely spot. One of the reasons why Peter Mandelson was given the Ambassador job and they turned a blind eye on the Epstein stuff was his roll in bringing down Jeremy Corbyn.

The camera cuts to Jeremy Corbyn, nodding his head in agreement.

At no point does this BBC article mention the words ‘occupation’, ‘siege’, ‘blockade’ or ‘illegal’.

As if Israel is doing the Palestinians a favour by opening a crossing it has no right to control.

This can be done in every country if we apply enough pressure

The way they diminish the destruction and annihilation of Gaza by copying the same script -while Western news media parrots it without hesitation after 18 months of denigrating and denying Palestinians sharing their own eyewitness testimony - is a horrifying spectacle to witness.

i'm happy that the voice of Hind Rajab is nominated for an Oscar & i hope it wins, but i find it interesting that western institutions will recognize & award stories abt Palestinians as the west actively slaughters them. they're to be consumed as content, not saved from genocide.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Imagine the son-in-law of the US President presenting a ‘vision and plan’ for a shiny city with resorts on the ruins of Auschwitz or Theresienstatd where dozens of my mother’s family and tens of thousands of others were slaughtered. And from which he will personally benefit. Repulsive, inhuman & rapacious doesn’t even begin to describe what they are proposing

"There's even an airport, something that Gaza hasn't had"

Gaza international airport opened in November 1998. The Israeli military destroyed it in 2001.

when ppl say Greenland is a "white" country, it's worth pointing out that ~88% of it is Inuit (indigenous). & they are denied sovereignty due to Danish colonization. Europe has no problem with Greenland being colonized. it has a problem w/ Trump encroaching on Denmark's territory

Firstly, these are journalists not fans. The one being accosted was teasing Moroccan journalists throughout the second half. Eventually a few snapped and confronted him, one threw a water bottle

I pity the people who will ignore the mature, mesmerising performances of young gems (Mbaye, Maza, Diomande, Kofane, Sarr…), the top-tier goals and quality of football, the rise and rise of African coaches, the passionate but also powerful support (a global history lesson via by the Lumumba statue tribute), Sudan’s triumph of spirit, and the multitude of good and great things about #AFCON2025 to ONLY define the tournament by chaotic scenes in the final. You’re missing out.

I promise you there is a lot more gold in appreciating and applauding African football than seeking every opportunity to diminish it.
