I'm not sure how I missed this important bit of news last year: "Ice Cube partners with Goodyear, and it's 'a good day'" ktla.com/entertainmen...

I haven't read this story -- I'm sure it's excellent -- I just wanted to point out how awesome the illustrations by @ffrancavilla.bsky.social are.

Argentina in the knockout stage of this World Cup: 1' to 67': -3 goal differential 68' onward: +8 goal differential

Thomas Tuchel straight to jail

Ever seen a manager lose a game before?

I feel like the growing popularity of the Premier League in the U.S. has had the unfortunate side effect of making England more popular here in international competitions (I am absolutely guilty of this)

All-star games are unnatural. The best players should not be on teams together

Is Pausa de Hidratación a meme on X the everything app or is that a Bsky exclusive?

They named a candy bar Milky Way in the 1920s, and you're telling me we DON'T live in a simulation. Sure ok

“He’s a lying motherfucker,” Mr. Graham allowed with a shrug, but also “a lot of fun to hang out with.”

Thanks for clearing that up

The only comparisons are to other non-English languages (it's basically the same as the French u or the German ü). ALSO it's considered a separate letter, not a modified o. If your name starts with Ø, you'll be listed at the end of the alphabet

Argentina 2-1 Switzerland 112'- Julián Álvarez

Alexis Mac Allister’s father naming his older brother Kevin because he really loved Home Alone is one of my favorite soccer facts

None of you are allowed to talk about The Odyssey on here until July 22, which was the first time I could get a good seat at the good IMAX theater

Hello to all the alleged ball knowers who were dumping on Djed Spence

Jude Bellingham, pretty good. Dunno if people have noticed this

If you're Norwegian and you're wondering if English speakers know what sound "ø" makes: We do not, we just think it looks cool

I am literally the only person in Oslo who is not wearing a soccer jersey

Chicago man reflects on Cape Verde roots: “The world now knows who we are.” I talked to a South Loop bartender for a little slice of life and chat about the beautiful game www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/11/c...

"Matthew M. Wielicki is a former geochemist at the University of Alabama with no formal training in climate science."

(saluting, crying, loudly humming America the Beautiful)

Are people still stacking their nootropics?

This is the funniest sound I've heard in my entire life. Crying

The Islamic Republic of Japan

Update from the guy across the fire who does groundskeeping at a golf course: The young guys drink Busch Lights at 9:30. Sometimes the older guys too. There is also a lot of cigar smoking at the golf course.

Horses really love to hang out outside

Yeah

Little League shit

Getting ready to have a bad time

While Spain and Portugal battle it out in the football World Cup, the Iberian contest of the rudist limestones pits a red Ezcaray pavement in Spain against the floor of Porto railway station in Portugal.

Game's gone

Jude Bellingham, pretty good. Dunno if people have noticed this

An Englishman getting really mad at an Italian guy for calling it "calcio"

Trump called Infantino on Wednesday to get Balogun's red card lifted. Nice to ride alon with Tyler Pager on what will be seen (and is) in many parts as one of the biggest scandals in World Cup history. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

I don't remember dogs being such losers when I was a kid

Your dog doesn't like fireworks? You should have done a better job of educating her about Independence Day.

Happy Fourth of July to the fireworks pictures curmudgeons

Some good reading for the holiday from @jamellebouie.net (🎁)

How were they still playing even?

Not in love with how accurate this is

A better world is possible

I quit drinking caffeine a while back, but I just knocked down about 16 ounces of Diet Dr Pepper, and I have to tell you: I am now the smartest man alive. My brain simply processes information faster than yours. I'll get cold fusion done for you here in a few minutes. Brb

What a day for World Cup trivia facts: Folarin Balogun is the first player with a goal and a red card in a knockout game since Zinedine Zidane in the 2006 final

That's just bad luck. Balogun is getting jostled there. It'd be an absurd way for this tournament to end for the U.S.

"keep pounding the rock" -- Harry Kane

What a goal by Harry Kane. I thought there was no way that was going in.
