I mean if you hate the United States this shit is absolute cinema

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

We need more Hater Pilots.

I'm currently writing this report for @aftermath.site. If any member of any accessibility team was impacted by the layoffs, please reach out through email, messages, or my signal –4129804478.

Maradona has his problems but he was very openly left and anti-imperialist

"1 billion gamers every day" is private equity talk. It's key jingling for the dragons that want to die on larger heaps of gold. And when there aren't a billion players a day it won't be the promise-makers that pay, but the remainder of the industry.

Oh no! Maybe they won't not learn about British history today.

Promo package for USA vs Belgium

I think the Tilly Norwood story is a good example of how broken media is. No one actually believes it’s popular—but it is rage bait, and if you’re a social person whose performance is based on all-in engagement numbers…why not push it. It’s more cynical than credulous.

World Cup Trump be like

Little kids, graduating kindergarten. Little kids.

He blames consuming fast food and sugary soda for this and not, I dunno, the bizarre science experiment that he has been performing on himself. 🤦‍♀️

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

In today's games industry the most secure your job is is 6 months before your game comes out and the least secure is 1 year after it comes out.

Ireland on here 👀

Surprising (not really) stat from the new UBS Global Wealth Report 2026. The US ranks #2 when you look at average wealth per adult, but drops to #28 when you look at the median. www.ubs.com/content/dam/...

Sure Microsoft may have fired thousands of people and gutted its games division but at least it had more money to pour into Copilot, the 4th most popular AI, a product nobody wants or likes except rich executives, that is constantly losing horrendous amounts of money

It’s all so stupid

hell yeah baby keep it coming (this is easily one of FIFA's worst rules in practice, functioning to prevent FIFA-unfriendly governments from leveraging their power against FIFA while allowing friendly governments to do whatever they want.) but whatever, let's go, all gas no brakes

BREAKING: Microsoft is laying off 4,800 employees today. Most of the job losses are in Microsoft’s Xbox and commercial sales organizations. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/961528/...

This is the sickening stuff, and why no one likes England. Mexico were bad! Really bad! They gifted England goals and created very little. England still barely hung on!

paramount have bought a *ton* of the champions league rights in europe starting in 2027. paramount will be paying a lot of uefa's bills. read into that and the paramount ownership situation what you will.

This is now Brazil's longest ever drought since they first won the World Cup in 1958, as it will stretch to 28 years. One semi-final in 24 years, too. A run of QF, QF, last 16 also their worst ever.

The "Dictator Mbappé" shirt was brought to my attention, I went back to the broadcast to make sure it was real

FIFA when it’s time to do corruption

Paraguay’s “performance” tonight gives me even more appreciation for how Cabo Verde approached that game against Argentina last night.

Important to remember that Tommy Robinson is a fictional character portrayed in the media by the actor Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

incredible World Cup from Paraguay goalie Orlando Gill, the star of the shootout against Germany and just double-saved Mbappé. He basically didn't break through as a pro until last year and at one point sold his U-20 national team jersey so he could pay the bills when his baby was born prematurely

Unbelievable performance

This only makes him more likable

goon-powered prison soccer. the anti-Cape Verde

Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!

Little dude has been life changing already. What a guy.

Qimir had too much aura. He was goated with too much sauce. Smoked too tough. So Disney killed him.

In my day, $18 of Taco Bell was enough food to kill you.

kinda funny how much papal work is just subtweeting

best they could do was 400 guys in full masks bc they’re afraid to publicly admit they support the presidents policies. i’m sorry i know the imagery sucks and there is danger these guys pose to individuals on the group but in a macro sense, that’s honestly very pathetic

Oh my god, Silent Majority is an incredible name for a Multiple Man-style character

hell yeah brother

gallagher: *sets down his hammer and picks the microphone back up* “there’s only two types of people on polymarket: cheaters, and losers. so if you aren’t cheating? guess what?!!”
