So our city is hosting the World Cup. This is kind of a big deal. I spoiled myself for Father’s Day and bought a ticket to the game tonight. I’m here - by myself - which is a *massively* big deal as I have crippling social anxiety. Shoutout to medication and therapy, y’all. Mental health matters.

Growing up with a single mom, Father’s Day was basically just ‘Sunday in June’. Six years ago, that changed when we welcomed our smiling little dude into our family. He’s autistic and doesn’t speak, but it fills me with immense joy that one word he says regularly is ‘Daddy’. Happy Dad Day, yall.

Incredible. One of the most gripping football matches I’ve seen. People will see the scoreline and be like “0-0. Ugh.” But oh my goodness, what a story written there. Take a bow, Eloy Room. Well done, Curacao! Sports are good, man. #WorldCup

Good lord the Curacao goalie is gonna have a significant jump in instagram followers after this game if recent history has taught me anything. #FIFAWC26

Who is the blonde surfer dude who coaches Curacao ? He looks like he should be starring in another remake of Point Break.

Watching the World Cup and the sign says the location of the match - United States of America. Then there was an unfortunate add for the adidas soccer boot, the Predator, and all I could think of was why were they there running adverts for their president?

#WidowsBay has delivered - seemingly out of nowhere - one of the best debut seasons of television I can remember. The way it blends humour, horror and heart so effortlessly - flirting with disparate genres effortlessly, but centring around a single theme. My goodness. Utterly fantastic.

Game failure? Layoffs Game success? Layoffs Game delayed? Layoffs Game delivered? Layoffs Game announced? Layoffs Game unannounced? Layoffs Game good? Layoffs Game bad? Layoffs Game AI? Layoffs Game no-AI? Layoffs Game hated? Layoffs Game beloved? Layoffs Money cares more for layoffs than games.

Good for the Knicks. Congratulations.

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

Playing Dragon Age: Veilguard. Intense personal loyalty mission for one of the team members. Following them through the dank, depressing streets of Dock Town. Character: “We have to hurry!” /Rook runs past a cat “oh shit, hold up, just gotta pet this cat real quick.” #GOTY

Shoutout to the champion with the ‘Melt Ice’ ringside at #AEWDynamite. I see you.

QTP with your favorite Main Protagonist in a video game that's NOT Mario nor Sonic.

The finale of ‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ was incredibly satisfying. It got stronger with each episode and wrapped with gravitas, weight and emotion. Gooseworx did something special here.

The Xbox games showcase was… pretty mid. They really needed a home run here and - at best - ended up with a bloop double down the line. Clockwork Revolution and Fable showed well (I was already going to play them) but once again given how many studios they have, a shocking dearth of new releases.

Very funny from /r/balatro

Hey, I want to hear from the CIS white guys who are completely unbothered by the fact that it’s Pride month (and soon to be Juneteenth). Why is it only the loudmouth jackasses who seem to get amplified?

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Well, it’s happened. I’ve officially turned “young people stand up to offer me a seat on the train”-years old.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

My algorithm has become broken in a way that will be studied by scholars for years. It’s now feeding me ‘looksmaxxing’ influencers on the regular. I’m a hideous ghoul whose main idea of self-improvement is only eating two Big Macs at dinner instead of the usual three and I’m okay with it.

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

And then Beavis comes out, pulls his shirt over his head, puts his arms in the air and says, “I am the great Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!” Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

Just incredible. @swerveconfident.bsky.social is on another level.

Kevin Knight! Bah Gawd, that man has a family! Double or Nothing kicked 36 different Chambers of ass tonight. Props to the AEW team. Amazing work. That’s your PPV of the year, I feel.

Stadium Stampede was batshit as expected. Now for the main event. My gut says Darby retains (and loses to the suddenly mega-pushed Rush on Wednesday - who will then drop it himself at Forbidden Door). But I could easily be wrong. Which is why this rules so hard. #AEWDoN

Mamdani’s New York #AEWDoN

Okay, the Reservoir Dogs intro for the Elite/Jericho/Hurt Syndicate team was pretty great. #AEWDoN

Holy hell what a match between Swerve and Bandido. These two can wrestle *any time*, Tony. Good lord. #AEWDoN

Swerve with a house call WHILE STANDING ON BANDIDOS SHOULDERS HOLY SHIT #AEWDoN

Joe and Ospreay slapped. No surprise there. #AEWDoN

The Joe ‘nope’ spot to the Oscutter was so fucking good, yall. #AEWDoN

Mox and KOR crushed it. The crowd was dead at the start, but they just told a great story, traded blows and the crowd was with them by the end. Good shit. #AEWDoN

God damn, that was everything we hoped it would be, eh? Amazing match. #AEWDoN

Oh boy - Takeshita vs Okada. This is The Match tonight, imho. #AEWDoN

That was fun. Good start to the show. #AEWDoN

Oh shit. Beth is gonna ‘murder’ Stokely. #AEWDoN

“I… I… I… I banged your mother.” Classic. I laughed out loud. #AEWDoN

New York crowd is *hot* tonight, damn. #AEWDoN

So that’s Chekhov’s ‘dancing Vita Coco mascot’, right? #AEW

I know everyone is clamouring for Mayor Mamdani to shave MJF’s head, but I think a better cameo would be during the stadium stampede. They brawl through the concourse and end up in a box - the Mayor’s box. Mamdani hits one of the DCF with a beer bottle. Boom - megapop. #AEW

When are we overthrowing the oligarchs, guys? I’m getting older and more tired by the day here.

the white house has a "B" in it too

Domestically I am tired of democrats being chicken shits about this. I don’t care how it polls. I don’t care if swing state soccer moms get squeamish about it. I don’t give a single fuck. This is a non-negotiable.

I think The Boys did a decent job of wrapping everything up. It was an ending that made sense, even if it was a little deus ex machina’y as the season concluded. Anthony Starr deserves an Emmy nom. Oi. I’ll miss these c*nts.

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

There is a very small list of ‘perfect’ video games - I feel you can add ‘Mixtape’ to the list. It knows *exactly* what it wants to be and it nails it. It’s sweet, funny, heartfelt and the music rules. Narrative adventure games have a new alpha to look up to. My goodness, what a game.

Clearly an important decision. And by far the most game-changing development of the Sharma regime so far.

‘Mixtape’ is magic. It’s a digital distillation of heart, life, teenage angst and ennui mashed with a fantastic soundtrack. It sings, unabashed full-throated and soars above the clouds as it takes you on a ride. And like most great rides, you find yourself not wanting it to end.
