"Our parents aren't having children-" bro WHAT

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7h

RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks with their undocumented mother and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened.

I'm begging everyone, but especially new soccer clubs, to stop using AI images to show what your stadium MIGHT look like one day.

My latest @theguardian.com: "Fifa banned Russia from international football. Now it must do the same for Israel." As Israel inflicts untold misery on Palestinians, it is time for soccer’s governing bodies to stand by the principles they claim to uphold www.theguardian.com/football/202...

When it comes to FIFA, "Infantino’s legacy as a peacemaker may not lie in ending wars, but in redefining what 'peace' means. In his world, peace is not justice, reconciliation, or equality. Peace is a good broadcast deal & a viral PR moment," writes @karimzidan.com

Karim Zidan @karimzidan.com · 2d

Imagine: the “Peace Cup,” a 96-team event held in the demilitarized zone between two historic enemies. North and South Korea? India and Pakistan? Israel and Palestine?

For Infantino, anything is possible, so long as it is sponsored by Coca-Cola and Aramco

Gianni Infantino, Peacemaker

Infantino’s diplomacy is not the diplomacy of treaties and compromises. It is the diplomacy of branding and spectacle. Where others see conflict, he sees opportunity.

a student asked me today: "What would it look like for the US to enter Civil War?"

I told them: "We might already be in one - we won't know until the history books tell us several decades from now."

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

this ARG v Puerto Rico friendly match is so poorly attended because Trump decided to try to make a statement about Chicago - excellent that the reigning 2022 World Cup victors have what, 10k people watching in person? pathetic

Fubo recently undertook a facelift/update/interface change for its TV format and it is now the 2nd most annoying streaming service (after Paramount ofc) - you used to just be able to see all sports playing in a easy to read schedule and now its chaos

The Athletic | Football @theathleticfc.bsky.social · 2d

Italy beat Israel and close the gap to Norway in Group I.

But Stale Solbakken's side still have their fate in their hands, and it looks likely that Gennaro Gattuso's team will have to go through a play-off to qualify for next summer's World Cup.

SDOT plans to make improvements to Occidental Ave in advance of the World Cup, but we definitely can't change parking on the street, so we're going to get a "walkway" between the road and parked cars.
