Never did I thought in my life that I will see Italy play in a CRICKET World Cup before they play in FOOTBALL World Cup again. 😆😭 #BIHITA

x.com/i/status/203... Audacity of the "Ambassador to UN" to say this with straight face while legit genocidal bullshit has been said across the capital and country. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Seeing the neighbourhood of New Delhi where I grew up on trending topics in Germany on that bird app..... (That the world is waking up to the barbarity of West Delhi I endured my entire childhood- and the normalized violence there still falling to blind eyes of everyone: home and abroad)

So kind of Deutsche Bahn to offer special seating for those who have eaten too much over Xmas 🥰 (Photo by Henrik Hohl)

The onion just prints the news now

"Tormented souls of hell reaching up to claim earth" sure is a stylistic choice

FIFA always go lower…

This wildly tacky World Cup draw is a grimly fascinating preview of what happens if the aesthetics of fascism finally get their way.

"GOAL FOR SOUTH AFRICA! GOAL FOR ALL AFRICAAAA"

🇦🇷/ 🇯🇵 Twenty-five years since one of Boca Juniors' greatest days. For all the domestic trophies, for their six Copa Libertadores, beating Real Madrid in the Intercontinental Cup (now FIFA Club World Cup) is up there as one of their proudest achievements!

for Americans this is like explaining drafting to Dale Earnhardt

my guy really was tweeting tips at Shane Warne on how to spin a cricket ball and we all got to watch, we were blessed and we didnt even know it

I miss when Twitter was truly great like the time a guy got upset at someone calling out a cricket team and started explaining how bowling worked and at the end OP was like "thanks for explaining btw I hold the world record for most career outs in cricket history"

Charlie Kirk memes are everywhere. Everywhere. Is it disrespectful? Sure. Is it also a rejection of the attempt to create a fascist martyr and force him on us? I think so. www.jphilll.com/p/charlie-ki...

🇦🇷 36-year old Ander Herrera enjoyed his first superclásico! The Basque midfielder played the last 16 minutes of Sunday’s 2-0 Boca Juniors win but he’s definitely got the bug!

AC Milan, Arsenal, Olympique Lyon, Real Madrid, and Benfica are clubs sponsored by Emirates, the state-owned airline of the United Arab Emirates, whose government is funding the massacres in #Sudan.

Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan is the owner of Manchester City, but he is also vice president of the United Arab Emirates. In this second role, he is held responsible for the Emirati support for the genocide in #Sudan. 👇

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

Nelson says:

most people don't want politics that hurt other people. we just want a long overcoat like david bowie and affordable housing

‼️SURPRISE: La Liga announces that Villarreal-Barcelona in Miami is canceled! (It seems protesting does help.)

one day leftover rice and chicken curry just hit the right spots in this cold weather. 🥶

Perhaps another reminder that inequality is growing across the developed world.

Der FC St. Pauli ist Stadtmeister 👏 #fcsp #hsvfcsp

Who could possibly have foreseen this

I have seen one UCL match nearby each season ever since I have moved to Europe. Stuttgart last season was a movie. so, Basel pls dont fuck this up, bitte.... #Rotblaulive

Years ago there was video of Tommy Robinson in Italy physically attacking a black African man who had gone there as a refugee, and now he is doing this. Someone yesterday asked “why is Farage so successful” and the answer no one seemed to want to give was “a lot of people are very, very racist”

New. The 2010 Fifa World Cup official anthem “Waka Waka” was meant to raise a fortune for African charities, but no money has been forthcoming since 2014. Josimar can tell where some of the missing millions have gone. By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/08/19/l...

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

If you know any potential opportunity for work or commissions for dataviz, data analysis, writing, editing, etc in English or French, please tell/tag me!! I'm becoming really desperate now...

Good ol fashioned corporate fuckery

In honor of the 2025 Euros, Basel, Switzerland has changed the men in the traffic lights to female football players, and we are OBSESSED with it🚦🇨🇭 🎥: @lionel_pittet

BEST. CONCERT. EVER #NineInchNails

📍Köln

At least I have an older phone to which I can switch back to. But switching data between phones is such a pain in the ass. Already handling banking apps is difficult here in Germany and now I have to request new PIN from the bank which they will send......... via Post in 5 working days :))))))))

Had such NIIIIICEEEEEE start to the day. Left my home @6AM to catch a train. Literally plugged out the phone out of my charger. - Phone is working. I come down and and take my the cell phone out of pocket to call my friend about his ETA. - RIP Phone And concert tickets are in my phone :)))))))

No matter what the courts say, we are not going anywhere. Our fight continues. 📸 Will Martinez Jr
