Four years ago, for months every tiny little detail regarding Qatar's World Cup was analyzed, scrutinized, and criticized for days by every Western outlet. This year, stories like this one get a couple of minutes at most. Don't go telling me there's no double standards.

This will go down as a major stain on FIFA and its World Cup before a ball has even been kicked. Infantino has been banging on about the most inclusive World Cup and Africa’s top referee can’t even get into the country. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/w...

Loving the people who say this bombing is all about liberating the wonderful freedom-living people of Iran…but who 5 seconds later will support a ban on taking any of those same Iranians as refugees on the basis that they are all violent terrorist Muslim fundamentalists.
