I feel bad for algeria but this is the entertainment I crave

the one thing I miss about twitter is being able to @ more celebs. have a burning desire to tell alexi lalas “go home you’re drunk”

belghali you sick fuck who taught you how to do that

giovani lo celso? never heard of him

please rise for the algerian national anthem youtu.be/V4ReF9uufnY?...

Algeria Austria kicks off in 30 minutes, and if you want a little context about this rivalry, here's some reading: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrac...

let’s fucking goooooooo @devintoshea.bsky.social

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

The Dunning Krueger Experience

rooting for ghana…except for THAT guy

croatia are the michael myers of international soccer. you could drop a piano on them and they’d just do the slow sit-up thing and brandish a knife

yes, alexis has a brother and his name is kevin mac allister and he plays soccer too. saved you some clicks

here’s the guy who earnestly talked about dead children killed in gaza this week, who van jones wants you to think is a monster who is part of an “army” which must be stopped

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

1000x this

ok one last VAR joke: guess the VAR team is operating out of their Langley office

in all seriousness if they're keeping VAR they need to change the rules specifically for when there are a lot of bodies in a small area. there's always going to be somebody shoving somebody or a guy being a hair offside 5 passes before the goal on a cross or free kick into the box

whatever conspiracy theory emerges about that VAR decision I believe it

the straight of hormuz will be closed until VAR is abolished

friendship ENDED with Szymon Marciniak. now NO REFEREES are my friend

that is absolute horseshit

dawg don't fuck this up with VAR

oh FUCK yeah

"mousa dembele is the best guy I ever played against" is a cliche now but he was that good when he was healthy. he also changed his name from "moussa" because of a typo, which ended up being convenient because Fulham had a second Moussa Dembele

furious at how good my mood is after the gym. I hate knowing the solution to all my problems is that boring

as a devout shia I find this egypt-iran match nothing short of a second Karbala

they should pay me to watch all these world cup matches it’s basically a full time job.

my subway take is: if you want to use a squat rack at the gym you have to do a set of squats first. if you use the squat rack to curl you get put into The Device

lots of bad takes on the TL today. we need to focus on real issues, like how I got stung by a bee. i have a bad ouchie on my ankle. everybody should be posting things like "oh no! poor ben!" and "get well soon, brave Ben!"

I can't believe this is not a bit.

now we get "applebees is elite!"

the onion is supporting the sandy hook families financially and helping them recover the settlement money Alex Jones is denying them. the onion appears to be the only institution left that cares about those people. you're talking shit because you don't like the owner's girlfriend? loser behavior

this is by far the funniest account i've seen on bluesky this year. idk if it's a bit or not but calling someone an elite grifter for eating Culver's and then doubling down on the semantics of "fast casual" is comedy gold

always worried that "dead rubbers" make the 3rd group stage matchups disappointing, but i don't think a lot of these teams got that memo. turkiye yesterday, france right now...these guys came to PLAY

This is really great, with many quotable portions, but I will just highlight "making the rejection of democracy sound like futurism" is such an elegant way to describe the what's going on.

got stung by a bee on my way to get coffee at the cafe with a beehive logo. getting real mixed signals about bees

11-year-old Ahmed Al-Raqab was playing on the sand outside his family’s tent in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, when an Israeli missile killed him on Wednesday. “What was this child’s crime? He picked up a watermelon and they fired at him,” his father, Sabri, wept over his son’s body at Nasser...

serious question: can a DA use RICO against congress

refusing to say anything about that game. i will not alienate the one other country on earth that likes my plays®. i know where my lavash is buttered

in retrospect, thomas frank was spurs' version of moyes at man united. an overachieving avuncular dork who wastes his squad's talent with a midtable playing style and has zero knowledge of how to deal with big egos

william styron's "the concessions of matt turner." is this anything? [american lit majors get mad at me] sorry i'm trying to remove it

well that goal was the coolest thing i've ever seen

Some NYC news: Mamdani just won his rent freeze--one of his biggest campaign promises!

on earth 2, liz franczak joined Chapo instead of amber frost and every online leftist was spared about 50 pointless arguments

if there’s one thing i’ve learned from the iran war and zohran’s candidate sweep, it’s “don’t fuck with the Shia”

guys i fixed inflation. just stop using money. you can usually stuff about $75 worth of groceries down your pants before people get suspicious
