Am I crazy or with the World Cup starting in America it kind of feels like the NBA Finals aren’t that important anymore. Like nobody cares anymore.

Dear @FOXSports,
No one is watching this game to see who is in the stands. Literally no one cares what celebrities are at this match
Sincerely,
Everyone

I will never understand why it’s the most popular sport on the earth!! And yes, I’ve been watching it for over an hour and I want to stab myself in the eye with a fork!!

@dr_nwaokike @Atleti @realmadrid Use the translation feature.
Or even better, be open minded and learn to speak Spanish.

Comunicado oficial con nuestras aclaraciones sobre el comunicado oficial de nuestros vecinos @realmadrid:
1. Se os cortó el vídeo del Papa donde decía que también era del Atleti.
2. Habréis confundido la educación con agradecimiento, pero para que no haya dudas: no os agradecemos nada.
3. Ni estudiamos ni valoramos ninguna oferta por Julián.
4. Cómo no nos vamos a llevar bien, si nos hacéis reír aún más que el @FCBarcelona_es.

🇺🇸 USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino addresses the crowd at open training:
“The most important thing is you feel proud about your team. One thing is sure: we are going to give everything to create good memories with you, for you to feel proud of your team.”
“I’m so proud to be here and I’m so grateful to the people.”
English
Yes, being American… living in the USA and rooting against the USMNT 🇺🇸 in the World Cup is a bit pathetic.
But do whatever you want I guess, it’s your right.

@JackInsiders Should have an all electric truck to deliver the gas. Otherwise just using your own supply to fuel the truck.

Like owning a gas station — without the overhead.

@rdd147 @three_cube This was gonna happen. When your usage cost more than all the employees. Yeah a problem. Wonder if stock holders just want AI to run business. So they can easily layoff AI as needed.

🚨 Sam Altman warns OpenAi and Anthropic are experiencing severe pullback on Ai spending as companies put significant restraints on spending to restrict costs. The company warns investors it’s the first time this has happened in Ai and something we never expected. The buildout costs aren’t sustainable to allow profitability to hyperscalers or end users.

Sam Altman said AI budgeting has recently become a "huge issue" for some companies, something that "never came up" earlier this year. bit.ly/4uxIGnv

Europeans are very upset about the World Cup again, this time that the games will be starting at normal times in America (where they're being played)

@aakashgupta Dynamic for everything is stupid. Tickets for anything. Instacart testing for food. Apartment’s to keep prices up for areas.
English
The same World Cup seat is $700 on FIFA's official site and $200 on SeatGeek right now. That gap is not a glitch.
Dynamic pricing solved the upside for FIFA. Demand climbs, the price climbs, $60 group seats turn into $700 matchups, the US opener hit $1,940 at face. The downside is where the system breaks. The second FIFA cuts an official price below what someone already paid, it invites refund demands, chargebacks, and a consumer-protection fight across three host countries.
So the official number cannot fall. It is a published price attached to thousands of fans who bought higher, which turns every markdown into a liability.
Read it as economics instead of conspiracy and it sharpens. FIFA overpriced, then built a channel where lowering the real price is legally radioactive. The secondary market is the only place left to discover what the seats actually clear at.
Those contiguous blocks landing on SeatGeek at $198, $228, $230 are FIFA's true demand curve leaking out where the official site can keep pretending it doesn't exist.
The elegant part: FIFA's own resale marketplace takes 15% from the buyer and 15% from the seller. So even as inventory clears below face, FIFA collects a toll on the way down. They earn on the markdown they can't announce.
Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde settling near $200 while the official page holds the line tells you the market-clearing price was set months ago. FIFA just can't be the one to say it out loud.
Florian Ederer@florianederer
I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management. Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ... The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too. That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site. Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices. Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.
