“I love playing for Nigeria, but you have to pay for your own flight. 😭You get to the hotel and there’s no electricity. You wash your own kit, the pitch is only half grass, and if you make one bad pass the coach is screaming at you. 😂 But I love the food.”

Wednesday's Weather Rating: 1/10
Oh hell no. High temperatures reach the upper 90s this afternoon with rising dew points bringing real-feel temperatures over 100° F. Wildfire smoke moves in later today resulting in horrid air quality and visibility. The vibes have left us.
@MaxJordan_N@JHWeissmann There are a lot of significant issues with NYC schools, but that’s not what’s being talked about on this platform during this annual ritual. The discussion might as well pivot to washing cast iron pots or reclining seats.
I find it interesting how so many comedians now double as cultural commentators, which makes it impossible to critique them. If they say something smart, they are speaking truth to power. If they say something stupid, it was just a joke, and everyone should relax.
Furthermore, we're told that comedy is about making people uncomfortable. But this only applies to racist, sexist, and homophobic jokes. At the same time, these same comedians have podcasts, where they have conversations with rich and powerful people. These people are never made uncomfortable. To the contrary, the comedian host sucks up to them in every possible way.
And to your point, you are not allowed to critique them. If you post a critique, then you fell into the trap. As you put it: "congrats on making him more viral."
IMO, a lot of people don't have a worldview. For them, politics is about gender performance. Andrew Schulz fantasizes about joining the military to fight for his country, but won't set his thermostat to 78°. It's not about civic responsibility, but about performing machismo.
The news does you a disservice by not reporting this as the climate emergency is. Average precipitation for the month of July in New York State is historically ~113mm/4.4488 inches.
Why am I hearing about a month’s worth of rain falling in a day on twitter?
