@JamesMelville Come on grow up!! Y'all ran thru a whole freaking continent 'cos you had guns and they dint ...now crib about some noise outside a heavily sound proofed 5 star hotel 🤔!?

[Stephen @Stephenpedj]

@MsMelChen It is the ultimate endurance test for a footballer. 120 sapping minutes on the pitch and then step up to go 1 step further! Why on earth would replace with a quiz...😂😂😂 !?

Under the Narendra Modi government, nearly twenty-two thousand NGOs have lost their FCRA licence, with the most disproportionate impact being on rights-based work, minority-run organisations and prominent pressure groups against the government.

In 2024, the home ministry cancelled the FCRA licences of six organisations, three of them Christian-led, for using funds for work outside their mandate. The previous year, the Financial Action Task Force—the intergovernmental body that monitors money laundering and terrorist financing globally—had found India only partially compliant with its standards on nonprofit oversight.

English speaking India will do everything except hit the streets and demand that the government do the right thing

@TheDeshBhakt Blackmailable secrets is the more likely reason

@MarioNawfal They need to be burnt and destroyed. Govt. cannot surveil people using their money . It's like paying someone to run a camera inside my house and collect that data for free!

@satishacharya It is so darn easy for cricketers kids to "make" it. Fan support easily jumps a generational gap...while Dravid happily makes bank selling toilet cleaners, software, cooking oil whilst nepo babying his son!!

@Faithproofapolo @piersmorgan @Cristiano That's a paid tweet 😏! How else will he get the next interview, ask soft questions ...make more 💰💰💰!?

@Linahuaa -Paraguay - was it just a forced reservation/settlement for mestizos?
- Capaverde's diaspora built the team's capabilities
- Belgian , French teams mostly comprise of folks from black ghettos

[Stephen @Stephenpedj]

@Linahuaa All said and done, the world cup is the best snapshot+reminder on colonialism aka Gun enabled conquest!

[Stephen @Stephenpedj]

@simongerman600 Will not work for the in game penalties. The rebound will be a tap in!

@JamesMelville Graham Potter's tactics cost Sweden their game! France sliced thru the midfield as if it dint exist. Every game in the WC is proving why Arteta was so darn right in his defensive solidity first approach !

[Stephen @Stephenpedj]

@goddek All this is true, but Germany lost y'day because of VAR. You need luck and set pieces to beat a low block. Germany did win with a set pieces, but were denied!!

[Stephen @Stephenpedj]

@Linahuaa Too much of fluff in your post! The low block beat Germany - plain and simple !

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

🚨 Iran captain Mehdi Taremi just exposed @FIFAcom and the US:

“This is a disaster World Cup. Infantino promised to fix everything in our locker room… he did nothing. We can’t stay in Seattle — forced back to Tijuana every time. They want us out.”

Visa denials for staff. Day-before travel from Mexico. No recovery. Constant harassment because Iran refuses to bow.

This isn’t sport. It’s political sabotage by the empire using the World Cup as a weapon.

FIFA claims neutrality while Infantino plays lapdog. Iranian players still fighting with dignity.

Expose it. Stand with the players.

Twitter’s algorithm now optimises for engagement and not for relevance or your interests.

Which means at any point of time your entire timeline is filled with hundreds of quote tweets outraging about one dumbfuck giving his or her 40 IQ opinion

@BlackLabelAdvsr How to dumb down a sport , the American way😏
- Football ⚽ skill quotient is unreachable. Let's call it soccer and play with "football" with our hands 💪
- Tennis is so darn hard, let's invent Pickle Ball
- Squash is too skillful, let's make it racquet ball

@JesseTinsley People willingly pay to install spying devices in their home which help determine their relationship status, fertility and deepest insecurities to enable customized ads which can be shown to them on the rectangular devices they love, cherish and protect...for life!

Imagine telling someone in 1999…

The year is 2026.

The President is Donald Trump in his second non consecutive term.

The richest man in the world is PayPal cofounder Elon Musk… but not because of fintech or Paypal. Because of rockets, electric cars, AI, satellites, brain chips and something called “Boring Company”.

Apple is worth trillions but its main business isn’t computers… its selling glass rectangles everyone stares at for 9 hours a day.

People don’t watch TV. They watch teenagers explain geopolitics, finance, and relationship advice in ~60 second videos.

The biggest taxi company owns no taxis.
The biggest hotel company owns no hotels.
The most powerful media companies are social networks where everyone argues with strangers for free.

Kids are making millions filming themselves playing video games.

AI Robots write emails, code, legal memos, songs, essays, and breakup texts.

The internet is mostly bots arguing with humans who are trying to prove they aren’t bots.

You can summon a car, groceries, a doctor, a date, a private jet, or a dog walker from your phone.

People pay real money for invisible currencies, digital monkeys, AI girlfriends and pictures that disappear after 24 hours.

The richest companies in the world don’t sell oil, steel, or cars. They sell attention, compute, data, and addiction.

And somehow, after all of that everyone is still using Excel.
