“I do declare!” – Lindsay Graham waking up in Hell

Belgium players mocking the US and Trump's meddling in the World Cup by doing the Trump dance after scoring the 4th goal against the USMNT

Well I got the goal differential right

US president Donald Trump has done the whole of American soccer a disservice by involving himself in the Balogun red card saga. It's an unsusprising overreach that confirms the negative perceptions many already have about the USA. Me, on @us.theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

For all the talk about England handling the altitude, it’s Mexico players showing some obvious signs of tired legs.

Three bylines on this Journal piece, which makes pretty clear that the White House put its mottled hand fairly heavily on the scale

Gianni Infantino became FIFA president thanks to the support of the European federations as a bloc and then was reelected by acclamation. Belgium made its own bed, or at least sat by silently while it was made for them.

😢

The obvious conclusion to this saga is the U.S. losing to Belgium 3-0.

I was fairly neutral on Monsieur Chalomet until he started doing these Kalshi ads and suddenly I find myself sick of his impish visage

DC is, flatly, owed statehood after what they have been through under this man to make sure this shit never happens again

getting jacked up for the Habsburg Bowl at the top of the hour

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

time to work those Walloons until they’re speaking Flemish and vice versa

Tough for Germany to not have a Gio Reyna-caliber attacker to throw on at the end there for a goal

Excited to announce that I will be a grandfather in the coming months

Gio Reyna’s haters will be his waiters at the table of success

Pochettino got every choice right. Maybe he’s a genius after all ?

autogolazo!

Okay, World Cup my juices are finally flowing. Let's do this, boyz

Collectively, a group of nearly 100 billionaires and spouses have donated $9.8 million to the #Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins’ network since the start of 2025, representing a third of what groups supporting #Maine's Collins raised from all donors. themainemonitor.org/billionaires...

You mean to tell me a politician has a questionable person life

can't wait to lose to this team 3-1 in the second round

wake up babe the white house is a six flags

if I were a conspiracy theory guy I think mine would be that commercial fisheries aren’t real. If there were that many fish getting caught all the time where are all the boats

Hilarious that this is happening while simultaneously the global economy shifts its entire focus to AI/LLMs, and particularly agentic AI, which should be able to do travel agent shit in its metaphorical sleep if it had even 1/10th of the promise everyone tells us it already has.

the more I think about it, the more I feel like “Odysseus is from Boston” is true in a sort of ecstatic truth way

Gooners ascendant

Tomorrow I will be submitting a formal bid to purchase eBay.

Janet Mills is OUT of the Maine Senate race. Graham Platner will be the nominee.

Gannon Ken Van Dyke

she's cooked, folks

hey, uh, does this sound familiar to anybody (Stendhal, The Red & the Black)

We can't treat this Supreme Court as a functional constitutional body acting in good faith. It's a corrupt, far-right, partisan court, and we have to treat it as such. (And both Alito and Thomas should be impeached.)

Absolutely insane numbers on data center buildout. I haven’t vetted these by they’re about right based on memory/back of the envelope.

it’s still early returns but so far it’s looking like the song of the summer will be Javelin’s 2010 debut studio album, No Más

Maybe the Dems just need to nominate someone named Peter American

Dispatching three Long Island finance guys who look like they should have ponytails but don't, two 67yo Florida real estate developers named Steven and Stephen, and a nephew I don't think very highly of to negotiate an advantageous peace in the war I started.

Can we get 10,000 RTs for this

Imagine being so corrupt that it’s too much even for a for-profit concentration camp CEO

The people I feel sorriest for are The Troops, who America's baseball team let down, probably because they don't really respect them.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Since this is white people in Indiana I’m going to guess it’s unlikely the federal government is about to raise a stink and cut off payments to the entire state. Just a guess!

Bad at math? Wildly jumping to conclusions without knowing all the facts? Mark DeRosa might be a bad manager but he’s doing an excellent job representing the United States.
