The Florida-ness is off the charts.
Elderly man wins $2,700 in Florida Lottery. Takes ticket to Walmart.
Cashier validates it, folds the receipt, puts it in her vest pocket. Leaves.
Man comes back: no receipt, can't claim his money.
Manager checks cameras: caught her pocketing it in 4K.
Cops find the receipt hidden in her car. Her excuse? "Got distracted."
Felony grand theft. Fired. All for $2,700 on camera, with her name tag on, at her job.

@Left4Red14 @armani_lingo8 It wouldn't necessarily be a one or two time thing. NFL stadiums host friendlies or Premier League team exhibitions all the time.
English

@LouG74 @armani_lingo8 It would have probably cost them seats in the end and to spend millions for one or two World Cups in the stadiums lifetime would be silly, but I did have the same question haha

@therealburns3 Isn't that the same guy that ran from SNL straight home cuz he was trying to get back to God's country? Surprised he'd even consider playing in Chicago.

@wrosson2 @NationOrder @ro_mrio Doubt she'd get jail time, but community service picking up trash sounds like poetic justice. Make it long enough that she'll run next time she sees one of those trash cans.

So is anyone going to name and shame

As expected, Knicks fans were stealing the signature blue and orange garbage cans during the parade yesterday

@Danca953 @BFordLancer That's the thing. How many people are actually staying in San Fran? Then you have the fact that it's cheaper to fly into San Jose where the airport is literally down the road from Levi Stadium.

@BFordLancer San Francisco is the most beautiful city listed. Who cares if it is an hour. Enjoy the city.

Power Ranking World Cup host cities I’ve been to so far… 🏟️
1. Seattle
2. Vancouver
3. Los Angeles
4. San Francisco
Seattle had EVERYTHING. Public transport, walkability, great food, and a stadium IN downtown.
Vancouver was a close 2nd. Similar vibe as Seattle. Was only there for a day. Waterfront is BEAUTIFUL!
Los Angeles is just too spread out. No atmosphere around the stadium. Traffic. Meh.
San Fran… or Santa Clara. Tough when the host city is an hour drive from the stadium.
🔜 still to come…
Houston
Dallas
Atlanta
Philly
Boston
NYC

@George1Glass @JustOneJoey1 @KevinKaduk @ProFootballTalk Truthfully I'd rather deal with all the craziness with a summer in Chicago. Right now it's 90s with the humidity through the roof. It's not getting below 80 even in the middle of the night.
English

@LouG74 @JustOneJoey1 @KevinKaduk @ProFootballTalk And how much incremental revenue for the cities? Perhaps Houston in summer would do better. But chicago in summer? Yeah, it needs to be incremental as every weekend is a shitshow due to tourists, events, fests, etc.

In 1994, Soldier Field hosted the World Cup opening ceremony and five matches. This time around, Chicago passed on making a bid -- and is currently feeling left out. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@jacobinfante24 Vito & Angelo's on Fullerton was our spot back in the day

@JustOneJoey1 @KevinKaduk @ProFootballTalk How much money did every city spend to get ready for the World Cup? It was a major issue for the cities that passed. I'm in Houston and some of the talk is that there isn't an influx of fans that many expected. So I would say projected won't meet actual numbers.

@LongTimeHistory It's a 501(c)(3). Presumably they are doing voter registration for the midterms.
The behavior of individuals doing this work can sometimes be inconsistent with the organization that they are supposedly representing.

Woman calls ICE on Latino landscaper—to collect $750 reward.
"You better start to run... I'm giving you a head start," she says.
"I'm about to call ICE for the $750... the economy is bad."
She is wearing a shirt that reads: Black Men Vote—and appears to be registering people to vote.
Global Chuy works full-time as a landscaper—and is also an upcoming streamer on Kick, Twitch, and TikTok.
Incident occurred outside auditions for Kai Cenat’s Streamer University in Atlanta, Georgia.
He does not have an account on this platform—so posting video here to help him raise awareness.

@_KennedyProject @MikeLevin People covering their heads when losing their hair cuz of chemo is pretty common. Chemo does a number on your system and being a lot more susceptible to cold is one of them.
English

@MikeLevin Sympathy Cap Raskin?
He faked loosing his hair. That’s not principled Mike, that’s pandering. Oooh look at me I have cancer, please care. Give me a f__king break.
Women wear these because they have long beautiful hair. Balding Boomers don’t f__king need them. Joke!

My friend Jamie Raskin is one of the most careful and principled people in Congress. So when he says the director of the FBI may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I pay attention.
Here is what he found.
Kash Patel directed more than $1 million in bonus payments to a small circle of agents in his inner circle and on his security detail.
Some were getting nearly $8,000 every two weeks on top of salaries that were already maxed out at the federal ceiling. A number of them collected close to $40,000 over consecutive pay periods.
The payments came so fast that the FBI’s bonus reserve accounts ran dry and some checks bounced.
So who got the money?
Agents on Patel’s so-called "director’s advisory team."
That is the unit created in 2025 and described internally as a payback squad, built to dig up dirt on the law enforcement officials who investigated Trump and his allies.
Raskin has given Patel until June 29 to account for every payment, every recipient, and any internal review of whether this was even legal.
Patel should answer for all of it.

Before he could protest, I walked into the garage and came back carrying a nearly new helmet, a set of bike lights, and a small basket that had never been installed.
"Take these too."
The man covered his face with both hands.
For a few seconds, he couldn't speak.
When he finally did, his voice was barely above a whisper.
"You have no idea what this means."
As he loaded everything into the truck, he stopped and turned back toward me.
"My daughter keeps asking if people are still good."
He paused.
"Tomorrow, because of you, I get to tell her they are."
The truck disappeared down the street.
I stood there for a long time after he left.
The bike had been sitting in my garage for two years collecting dust.
To me, it was clutter.

I listed my daughter's old bicycle on Facebook Marketplace for $75.
Within an hour, a message came through.
"Can you hold it until tonight? I just got off work."
Around 8:30 p.m., an old pickup truck pulled into my driveway. The driver's side door was a different color than the rest of the truck, and the muffler sounded like it was hanging on by a thread.
A man climbed out wearing a faded construction vest covered in drywall dust.
He looked exhausted.......

@PathToManliness Have you not see the Real Madrid stadium and how their field is stored and deployed? This is childs play compared to that.
English

The European mind can’t comprehend The retractable grass field
Brother, this is an NFL stadium in Las Vegas.
The grass field lives OUTSIDE.
When it's game day, the entire field rolls into the stadium on a giant tray.
The grass field weighs around 19 million pounds and sits on a giant movable tray. Before Raiders games, the entire field is rolled into the stadium. After the game, it gets rolled back outside so the grass can receive actual sunlight.
Which is objectively insane.
The field travels about 600 feet between its outdoor position and the stadium. It takes roughly 90 minutes to move.
Nobody thought:
"Maybe we should use artificial turf."
No.
America looked at a 9-acre field and said:
"What if we made it mobile?"
We're the same country that built Hoover Dam, put a man on the Moon, races Oscar Meyer Weinermobiles and deep fries Oreos at state fairs.
Subtlety has never been our thing.
