Captured clip by me from EAFC 26. Just so fun.

NEW by me -- Jimmy Kimmel is scheduled to return to TV this week. Here's what to know about his show:

Called it.

Dembélé likely will win Ballon d'Or. Possibly Salah as an outside shot if you're not gonna weigh UCL success. Would be a shocker if Yamal. Raphina seemed to have better odds than him earlier this summer.

Nvidia is the world's most valuable company, with a dominant position in the chips powering the AI revolution, and OpenAI is the innovating force behind market leader ChatGPT.

Messi winning is fun, but love that the race is so close at the end of the season. Bouanga may just snag it.

The new EA FC has way more of a hold on me than the new NBA 2K. I want to get back playing FC after work. I got tired with 2K too quickly.

I got Dembele and Bonmati winning #BallonDor today.

🚨 “The Mandalorian and Grogu” trailer is out. First Star Wars movie trailer in more than five years >> youtu.be/_pa1KLXuW0Y

First poster for ‘THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU’ In theaters on May 22, 2026.

Really hoping there’s a day when the USL league end up in #EAFC. The breadth of teams, logos and kits would be so fun to see

WWE gives Brock Lesnar a win in his first match since he was named in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon. #Wrestlepalooza

My prediction is that they’re gonna make #Wrestlepalooza one of the top PLEs and the new Mania. —Tier 1: Palooza/Mania will be top tier. —Tier 2: Survivor Series, Summer Slam, Royal Rumble —Tier 3: MITB, Elimination Chamber —Tier 4: Clash, Crown Jewel, etc

WWE nailed the branding with #Wrestlepalooza. Logo, color scheme and card art is on point

The Miz is one of the most underrated wrestlers of our time. His resume and highlights will age well. But he’s won so many titles, done immense promo work and is a consistent player. #Wrestlepalooza

Watching ECW Wrestlepalooza ‘98 before tonight’s #Wrestlepalooza on ESPN. Despite industry changes, it’s amazing how much wrestling stays the same. Take away gimmicks, odd characters — it’s still pro wrestling. Put another way, the entertainment changes — the sport doesn’t.

The job market is teetering despite — and perhaps in part because of — the onset of advanced AI. —A core political question for the coming years will be what, if anything, government ought to do about it.

Such a small change, but one of the best moves #EAFC26 did was allowing you to pick starter leagues vs country. Best part? MLS and NWSL! Sure, the starter cards aren’t great. But it’s fun getting some domestic players to kick off the game.

Very excited to test #EAFC26 tonight. The added gameplay options should make it interesting. Lots of new stuff to tap into. Gonna post some thought here.
