UEFA spokesperson Dietmar Fumm said to reporters "This decision effectively signals that Gianni Infantino is an enemy of world football". tl;dr: FIFA "foe" - Fumm
“The ADL didn’t only gather information on the Ku Klux Klan; it also gathered information on the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.” @jewishcurrents.bsky.social @peterbeinart.bsky.social jewishcurrents.org/the-shame-of...
The Shame of the American Jewish Establishment
In its quest to defend Israel, establishment Jewry has abandoned liberal democracy in the US.

We drive by conservative rural retirement communities in California on the way to the wilderness and the Olds love AI slop out there. AI slop event posters, AI slop restaurant signage, AI slop giftshops, etc.
Parents are fed up with friends and relatives giving their kids “personalized” AI-generated storybooks with characters resembling their kids. Apart from data privacy concerns, literacy experts say these garbled and convoluted narratives could be an impediment to learning how to read.
It’s nearly August 2026 and USDA still hasn’t updated their guidance on SNAP eligibility for qualified noncitizens after Trump admin took a chainsaw to a safety net program already barely hanging together by a thread. They last updated the page in August 2025. www.fna.usda.gov/snap/recipie...
You can hear the #FreeDC chants on the broadcast for NWSL match Washington Spirit vs Denver Summit
For many years, people didn’t randomly film others in public—not because we didn’t have the technology, but because the social contract said you didn’t do that. That’s why Meta is going full court press on their PR and celebrity endorsements. They remember how people ran google glass outta town.
It’s extra time and Argentina still have zero shots vs Spain Also Generalísimo Francisco Franco is still dead #worldcup

The same Harlan Crow who has a mansion full of Nazi memorabilia?🙄
Sen. John Fetterman received the FEC's maximum allowed campaign donations from billionaire GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, known for his controversial ties to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
The idea of crowds of people flocking to bagel shops because of internet vitality just tickles me in a certain kind of way. Is this the first time "bagelmaxxing" was ever published? @forward.com forward.com/food/838169/...
Bagels are hanging from the trees in Beijing. Is China bagelmaxxing?
I stumbled across the New York Bagelous museum, which doesn't have much to do with New York, bagels or museums.

Elon's X AI bot Grok was spreading disinformation about French referee Francois Letaxier, turning outrage about questionable calls re: Egypt into antisemitic conspiracies. FIFA might be corrupt or objectionable but that doesn't mean it has to be "The Jews" forward.com/news/837179/...
Someone changed this World Cup referee’s Wikipedia page to say he was Jewish. Enraged soccer fans believed it.
X AI bot Grok corroborated the disinformation about French referee Francois Letaxier, enabling antisemitism to spread

Since we are are doing yet another round of trash people defending trash men, I would like to point out the answer to one of the common objections I am seeing to the Platner accusations from today is in the article itself. (CN: sex assault and the reporting thereof)
Messi missed a PK vs Austria in group stages. And now his PK is denied by Egyptian goalkeeper Shobeir. One heck of a way to start the half and a remarkable match so far on my birthday 🎉 Wow!

I haven’t seen so many ineffective crosses in Mexico since Hernán Cortés couldn’t convert the Aztecs in 1519
Idk how England will go ~15mins down a player without conceding at least one more goal. Hanging by a thread vs Mexico
Harry Kane is the only player in football history to both score and concede a penalty in the same world cup match. He is the god mode unlock of penalty merchants
this skeet just called Harry Kane a penalty merchant LMFAOOOOOOOO
Ecuador has seemed lackluster on set pieces. Both creating chances when they take them, and in allowing too many chances on defense.
Morocco’s goalkeeper earned that win. Fantastic save to carry the PK shootout.
sir, a second blood spurt has been spilled on the field
Fun fact for this first half of Brazil vs Japan (🇧🇷 0- 1 🇯🇵 @ 40mins of play so far) is São Paulo is home to the single largest Japanese diaspora in any city #WorldCup en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanes...
