World Cup fans take note: Several restaurants near Gillette Stadium are adding a mandatory 20% service charge during the tournament, citing international visitors who may not be familiar with United States tipping culture. Thoughts?

Good morning, Moscow ☕️

Day 1576 of my 3 day war. Russian oil production is booming.... I remain a master strategist.

NEW: Is Tommy Robinson a paid Russian asset, or just Putin's useful idiot? For years, the Russian state and its proxies have promoted him, amplified him, and fed him lines. He has repaid them by parroting the Kremlin and spreading its disinformation. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/17/p...

The moment a storage tank at the Moscow oil refinery was hit: the blast blew the tank's lid off.

Just had a call from a Banff phone no. When I asked the lassie about the weather in Crovie, she didn't have a scooby where it was. Clearly a spoof no.I suggested to her that she should also stop calling me from Plymouth & N Wales as my phone can tell these calls are spam. <call ended by user>

It is the largest oil refinery in Moscow. Or rather, it was. 🔥

Word arrived at tQ HQ this week that over 8 years after the passing of Mark E. Smith, a posthumous album by The Fall is being prepared for release. The news sent us into a bit of a tizzy wondering what was our best feature on #TheFall... #ThePortal: Your Weekly Quietus Archive Dive buff.ly/IJvuTUc

Cabo Verde fans in the Boston fan zone celebrate their team's incredible result against Spain as Tartan Army look on 🇨🇻 The underdogs pulled off a remarkable 0-0 draw at the World Cup as they faced one of the tournament favourites 𝘐𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 SPAR Scotland 𝘝𝘐𝘋𝘌𝘖: 𝘕𝘦𝘸𝘴𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵

⚽️ (0-0) Decepción absoluta. España es incapaz de ganar a la modesta Cabo Verde en su debut en el Mundial 2026. www.lavanguardia.com/deportes/fut...

Absolute shocker from Spain. If Cape Verde had a better final ball, they could've claimed a deserved win.

More salsa verde than cape verde thus far...

🌡️ 🧵 En los últimos días se han batido varios récords de temperatura máxima para junio. ➡️ La ciudad de A Coruña alcanzó 35.9 °C el día 13. Superó en 1.1 °C el récord anterior. ➡️ En el aeropuerto se igualó el récord anual: 37.7 °C, medidos previamente en agosto de 2003.

This was a great listen despite the result. Tartan army keeping me awake past 2 am again.

On Baseball: A bunch of singing Scottish soccer fans brought great energy to Fenway Park on Sunday night. But the Red Sox couldn’t beat the Rangers: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/14/s...

Goodnight, don't have nightmares.

Yassss....Been through this rodeo before. 3 points is all that matters...though in this tournament there's more time in between games to have an existential crisis! Come on!

Better now we're using both flanks rather than playing down dead ends.

What a ray of sunshine Tom English is 🥺

Haiti no 10 & 11 causing bother on that flank Thankfully their final ball not that great. Need to sort it.

Need another goal though. Haiti are desperately trying to get a pen...ref having none of it thus far.

Yaaaaaaaaaasssssssssss Get in !

TV on mute..radio commentary on.

This Patriots fan has never seen Foxboro look as good as it does now.
