“He grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought” is a great line, in fairness
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
What a beautiful evening of cultural exchange in Glasgow Central station where fans and athletes from across the Commonwealth get to interact with thousands of drunk teenagers heading to the Calvin Harris gig ❤️❤️❤️
Walked past a delightful conversation between two men yesterday just outside my flat: “too many lefties around here, man. Fucking weirdos.” I don’t think you can choose to be present in the *southside of Glasgow* and complain about this?!
I go around the corner to get my mushroom pakora from this man!
Quite a wild experience how often I’m reading statements from UEFA and Sepp Blatter(!!!) these days and nodding my head going “good, well done”
Philippe Auclair@philippeauclair.bsky.social · 7d ago"No UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive, unless this proposal has been abandoned in its entirety and binding assurances have been given that FIFA will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership".
They should run their own version of the World Cup but just for European teams

there is something kind of admirable about the way argentina players sometimes look to the referee absolutely outraged that they, the moral defenders of fair play, just didn't get the decision they wanted.
That might be the best defensive tournament of all time by Spain. 1 goal conceded is nuts.
“And the World Cup will be all over for England” Such disrespect to the third place playoff, the game of the tournament!
Can’t believe England are making me decide it actually is Las Malvinas all along :(
I can see a world in which England win this game, I can even see a world where they get through the semi-finals! But I cannot see a world where this team doesn’t get found out quite badly against the French
Sometimes Norway are a bit too comfortable playing it around the back…
Harry Kane is actually quite good when he plays football, so it’s baffling to me he spends so much of his time lying on the ground trying to claim fouls
Reminds me of this Makerfield gem. At least he’s honest!
Jessica Elgot@jessicaelgot.bsky.social · 4w agoThe latest one is how he had a baby and how he will neglect his children to campaign as a comedy character. Guys?! He doesn’t campaign? He literally turns up on the night. Just trying thinking about it for more than two seconds. Do you think he goes door knocking with his head in a bin?
Yeah, sure, Facebook is basically horrible and unusable these days and exclusively for elderly relatives posting AI slop. But every so often you get the gem of someone in a local community group posting that their two snakes have escaped and getting to enjoy the hundreds of comments.
"She's running for President while wearing an electronic tag" would be fairly spectacular levels of France.
Anthony Zacharzewski@anthonyzach.be · 4w agoMarine Le Pen can run in the presidential election next year, but must wear an electronic tag.
Amazing contribution to the discourse. Fully applaud it.
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · last mo.Norway is a petrostate on par with Qatar, it just has way better branding
The potential of Norway or Mexico being a semi-finalist is quite funny
The Croatian pensioners let me down, but now all my hope lies in the Belgium geriatrics
The Athletic@theathletic.com · last mo.Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended.
I am seeing too much pessimism from England fans about their chances tonight. This is not good because: 1) if they lose, no one is that upset 2) if they win, it’s so much worse I think it will be close! England are a much better team imo, it’s just if a hugely partisan crowd/altitude is enough
Concept: we take the ref from last night and have them referee *checks notes* THE MASSACRE OF NUREMBERG en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...
