if Lindsey Graham tweets that he just had a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, you know what, I’d believe him
today is the first day since the World Cup started that there's not a single game being played and i'm already suffering from withdrawal
sorry there's no "but USA made it this far" upside here USA could've went out like Cabo Verde who played the game of their lives, taking Messi & Argentina to the limit instead USA went out like that video of 100 elementary school kids playing against the Japanese national team
Trump really imagined himself taking credit for a USA World Cup win, didn't he? lmao
on the bright side, i'm all-in for Norway and Haaland now
has to be one of Christian Pulisic's worst games ever dude gave up possession so many times you gotta assume he thought he was playing for Belgium
as a big NYCFC fan, that whole thing that led to the third goal could not have been a worse moment for Matt Freese that error is going to stick with him forever and he's too good for that to happen but it is what it is
USA went into this World Cup looking better than any USA team before them and leave looking like the absolute worst USA team i've ever seen
all-time embarrassing performance all around for USA tonight good thing Trump got involved to ruin what were winning World Cup vibes up until this point so Balogun could get in there and score zero goals and flick the ball directly to Belgium multiple times
seeing all the trump-FIFA stuff and i’m making the call to root, anti-colonially, for Belgium. now to look up anything they ever did just to make sure,
with Mexico’s loss to England, Team USA is the last host country team left 😬
just want to note that they weren’t selling any Norway jerseys at the stadium today but they were selling both Brazil’s home and away jersey anyway, what a game
still recovering from the last 30 minutes of that Team USA game
Fox World Cup broadcast isn't quite sure when their games are They just said the winner of Brazil vs Japan plays the winner of Norway vs Ivory Coast on Saturday. An on screen graphic showed Saturday as well. That game is on Sunday.
only in New York (baby!) can you catch a free Leftover Crack show in Tompkins Square Park then a few hours later catch Busta Rhymes perform at the free World Cup fan fest in Queens
i know everyone's mostly paying attention to the congressional primary results but Jessica Ramos, who controversially backed Andrew Cuomo over Mamdani last year, just lost her State Senate seat to Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas
ah Joe Rogan was just slightly off (he claimed over 150 million people watched the card)
goals scored in their first 2026 World Cup game: Mbappe - 2 goals Haaland - 2 goals Messi - 3 goals Ronaldo - 0 goals
all 4 World Cup matches today ended in a draw and all 4 were exciting as hell i love this sport
it's very funny that the one game the Knicks lost was the one game that Trump attended
A few people have reached out as I haven't been on here in a while. I just haven't been online much. My dad passed away on 4/14/26, just months after he was diagnosed with melanoma. He was the most supportive father (known on my livestreams as "BinderDad") & grandpa. I miss him a lot.

Elon Musk promised a lot of things by 2025 - colonists arriving on Mars - xAI achieving AGI - Tesla robotaxis serving half the U.S. - completely driverless robotaxis - a Tesla Roadster demo - DOGE cutting trillions none of them happened mashable.com/article/elon-mus...
Everything Elon Musk promised in 2025, but didn't deliver
Musk is now infamous for his false promises, but even this is excessive.

the story here is just that Christmas ended but here's how this clickbait site on Facebook framed it
Once again, thank you @mattbinder.bsky.social for doing this every year. Really made the family laugh. 🤘🎄
