You think he’d learn from his predecessors’ failed efforts in the 1960s and 1970s in the Bahamas, the Minerva Reefs, Vanuatu and elsewhere… but then again, he thinks History is nothing more than a “ledger”

Balaji Srinivasan's parents left India to seek opportunity in the USA. They became doctors in New York. Their son became a tech zillionaire. Now he's *renounced* his US citizenship to seek refuge and safety in countries with less freedom...because "freedom." Peter Thiel is one helluva drug.

I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.

Picked this up today more or less on a whim. It was a good whim.

Totally deserved!

Still rooting for Spain.

this is overall a good article I think but I will generally say that the only thing I find more consistently tedious and pointless than idle political moralizing are the critiques thereof jacobin.com/2026/07/worl...

I'm not posting Odyssey memes because one must be wary of GIFs bearing Greeks.

good, bad, crazy… whatever … but England have been serious entertainment. The Mexico game, Argentina, France… fun if sometimes for the wrong reasons….

I think for England fans the next 40 minutes are going to feel like… the previous 40 minutes v Argentina….

"Prophet" Donna Rigney claims she opened a portal over the White House & Mar-a-Lago so Trump will now "easily be able to get intel from the Holy Spirit": "God is easily going to be able to give him wisdom for decisions he has to make." Also, a "profile of an angel's face" appeared in the clouds.

weird that var didn't go back to check for soft fouls during either argentina goal

Okay this is going to be unpopular, but Pochettino should sit Balogun tomorrow. Integrity matters, even if Trump will never understand that.
