Spain officially edited him out 😂😂😂🤣😂🤣

Removing Trump from pictures is an acceptable genAI use

Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

Invoking FIFA Rules 183: players have to fight with their bare hands until there's only one player left standing, who determines the winner

German broadcast. Nailed it

If it’s 0-0 at the end of regular time they should bring England and France back

Uh-oh 👀

Right now, the 75 mins counter activated for Argentina, so a goal is coming. But Merino subbed so it's a goal coming for Spain. Tactical 0-0

I'm watching in germany. The German commentators kept quiet for nearly the whole thing until suddenly the shot widened and we just hear with a German accent, "Oh, Miss Piggy"

I like to track Messi on the field, he's the kind of player that will *walk* when he doesn't need to run, because he knows how quickly he can get to fullspeed

Wayne Rooney speaks for everyone.

This halftime show is more entertaining that the average Superbowl show. But I'd rather ticket prices were reasonable honestly

I'm wearing the GW2 JW dev tshirt, and I don't know how two people noticed because the logo is blue on teal. First it was a father of two at Costco that congratulated me on the "announcement of GW2" (he meant 3) and then a tax preparation gentleman, and I'll drive back to talk to him next week

I know why maga/conservatives are climate deniers: biodiversity sounds like a DEI initiative

"The Odyssey" premieres around the world today amid growing calls for a boycott, as human rights campaigners criticize director Christopher Nolan over his decision to film part of the film in Western Sahara, a vast territory that Morocco has occupied for the past half-century.

Very clever from Peacock, after I had to stop the stream to pick up my daughter

"By the early 2020s, the average annual acres burned had nearly tripled compared to the 1990s...climate change can account for as much as 80% of the burned area in the Western United States between 1992 and 2020." www.usatoday.com/story/graphi...

Awesome news, because it'll force me to rewatch the original show in preparation for the reboot

The Diplomat is to diplomacy what The Newsroom was to news, but obviously without the Sorkin touch

I was so excited for the World Cup, after watching France (the way they played, it didn't matter that it was France) and lost a lot of interest yesterday. I was commenting to my Spanish colleague and friend that France lost the game at minute 22 and then they were no longer playing

Leave every space, every person, and every community a little better than you found it. The goal isn’t just to leave your mark. It’s to leave the world better than it was before you arrived.

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

During the 30 minutes before the France-Spain game tomorrow, I have a work meeting with a colleague who is Spanish. We already started chatting about the game today :D

Not the best name for an event when a lot of video game professionals are being laid off?

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

Japan has perfected a revolutionary process to extract lithium from dead batteries with 90% recovery rate. This brilliant technological leap guarantees Japan's absolute economic security.

I love that Kane Parsons' original project can be checked on YouTube (won't link it for spoilers) and was turned into a $10M project that earned $360M It brings me back to the 90s when Blair Witch Project and Cube were low-budget sensations in theatres

"First US sodium-ion plant to produce 4 GWh of grid storage to power 4 million homes." Peak’s sodium-ion battery systems, "which reduce the cost of energy storage by 20% and have a 99% guaranteed uptime, begin shipments in Q1 2027." interestingengineering.com/energy/us-so... #energysky

It's absolutely insane that France can replace two top strikers (Mbappe, Doue) with two strikers of similar skills (Barcola, Mateta). I don't know what it says about the state of French soccer, also considering 3 of those 4 players are at PSG

Palestinians in Gaza have had the opportunity to collectively watch the World Cup, but the man who had been organizing the watch parties was killed by an Israeli strike ahead of the event.

This is funny on many levels

In France, far-right leader Marine Le Pen says she will run for president in 2027 after an appeals court shortened a ban on her eligibility to hold elected office. Earlier Tuesday, the Paris court upheld Le Pen's embezzlement conviction from 2025 and sentenced her to wear an electronic monitor.

New GitS was 10/10 for me, no notes. It's so faithful to the original manga that it made me pull my og French TPB from the shelves! It condensed the entire 1st chapter into a very compelling episode. It has that edgy style that Masamune Shirow developed, but refreshed for 2026.

the average price of gas when Biden left office was $3.12. Trump wants to throw a parade for himself over one station where it's $3.47.

I'm at work and suddenly "not feeling well" ;) (i have the afternoon off so I'm fine!)

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

HOW SOON?

Now that you mention it...

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

Anyway, if the USMNT ever want to be world class we need MLS academies to be much bigger and have way more openings for lower- and middle-class children. It's true but makes you a bore at parties so it's the perfect fact for Bluesky.

Now we're going to see if the American people care about soccer a bit more than before the WC, or if they just cared about their team being successful

Just watched Poch's final speech with the players in a circle. Today must have been hard for Roldan
