I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

genuinely very funny that we now get to ask where "the best player in the world" was when his team desperately needed him to make their first World Cup final in 60 years?
The best player in the world. Our 2026 #BallonDor winner: HARRY KANE! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆

Lionel Messi had a greater impact in the last fifteen minutes of the England-Argentina semi-final that Kane had for the entire tournament. I guess that's the same thing as scoring forty goals against Eagle's Nest FC

I firmly believe the fact that the Packers do not have a billionaire owner to hold someone accountable or draw attention to it plays into this.

The Detroit Lions are genuinely a poverty organization. The city of Detroit is poverty in every way imaginable. Their fans are lame. Amon Ra St Bitchboy is a cuck. Detroit ain’t shit. Congrats on your Super Bowl win against us. Please thank the refs for their services.

Glass half-full take. The Packers are very good, better than the rest of the NFC North. The Lions didn’t win the game, the Packers lost it. The @NFL has a hit out on the Packers because of the Jacobs situation. It’s very clear. Parsons should start practicing next week!

nothing exposes how much of a waste of time the Joe Biden Presidency was quite like his choice of Merrick Garland as Attorney General. Garland was never a *serious* pick for the SCOTUS by Barack Obama. He was a Republican picked to make a point about Republican obstructionism!
Amid the celebrations tonight, let’s spare a curse or two for Merrick Garland. Wrote about this a while ago, but his cowardice — in contrast to the story in Brazil — really does shine through at a moment like this. newrepublic.com/article/2075…

In my 19 years covering the Packers on a daily basis, I've never written a blame-the-refs story. Yeah, I get it, the Packers beat themselves, too, but what happened at Ford Field was unaccepable, an embarrassment and, to quote Xavier McKinney, bullshit. ⬇️ si.com/nfl/packers/onsi/xavi…

If franz ferdinand didn’t want to be assassinated he shouldn’t have made a song called “take me out”

@NFL @NFLOfficiating let’s just go to flag football if everytime a qb gets touched it’s roughing the passer!

Xavier McKinney on officiating: “It’s kinda fucking up the games if I’m being honest.” Said the game was “for sure” stolen from the Packers by the refs.

Packers’ K Trey Smack has missed 7 field goals so far this season.

Courtesy of the Detroit Lions, America once again got to indulge in the only thing that brings us together as a nation: watching the Green Bay Packers lose

You Can See Everything is gonna stay with me for a while. I left the theater feeling so angry even though I thought the film was truly brilliant. Gonna watch "The Dropout" next.

it's amazing just how deep the loser bench of this administration goes. just losers all the way down. every idea is a loser. every single choice is a loser. can't do one thing right without fucking it all up, not even move a goddamn globe
They broke Eisenhower’s globe because they didn’t want to wait for a team of specialist historians to move it. I cannot think of a more apt metaphor for Pete Hegseth’s DoD.

Leftists dream of a more effective Democratic party. Democrats dream of a more effective Republican party.
Hillary Clinton: “The Republican Party is no longer a political party, it is a cult devoted to Trump and Trump’s power. The Republican Party needs a total transformation. If we’re gonna have a healthy government that actually gets things done and delivers for people, the Republican Party has to purge itself of everybody that lost both their conscience and their backbone over the last ten years and that’s most of them”
