@Microinteracti1 @LarrySabato My efforts to eradicate grown men kicking and booping balls with their heads in a field are working. Feeling proud.

The United States is so toxic on the world stage right now that it can’t fill hotels or sell World Cup tickets.
Let that land.
FIFA projected $30.5 billion in economic impact from millions of international visitors.
That demand never showed up.
Hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco have slashed match-day rates by a third from their peak.
FIFA has cancelled tens of thousands of reserved rooms across all 16 host cities.
Some hotels report cancellation rates above 95%.
The reasons aren’t hard to find. Anti-American sentiment. Fear of border crossings. The Iran war driving up oil prices and airfares. And tickets priced into the stratosphere, with finals seats hitting $10,990 a pop.
Industry executives are now openly blaming the Trump administration for the shortfall.
Tourism economists say the Iran war made an already bad sentiment problem worse.
Empty stadiums are now a real possibility.
It happened at the Club World Cup last summer.
It could happen again, on American soil, at the biggest sporting event on the planet.
The White House says this will be “the greatest World Cup ever.”
The market disagrees.

@SusieM414141 @emma6USA Homeowners. If you don’t want a broken window, don’t buy a house 170 yds off the tee on the right. Have had windows and pool pumps destroyed by golf balls.

This elderly man is upset because he lives on a golf course and a group of golfers broke his window with a bad slice. Should homes that lie on courses have extra protection for the windows that face them? Are the golfers responsible for replacing the window? I think it’s the right thing to do; I would.

Final boss: “I'm a disabled trans man, but I'm also a Medicaid patient. I'm also a person who uses food stamps... I am also a person who has gone through substance use and addiction, and most of all, I am a patient of Planned Parenthood.”

@BurgerKing I’ll eat your burger but not your fries. Get a new recipe and fry them in tallow. Then I’m forever yours.

@GilbertTheGray @kunukunu All pizza is a gift from God. It’s what he created on the 8th day. Shah!?

@kunukunu I'm from Michigan, so my native pizza is Detroit-style, but to be honest, my favorite is the "fake" Chicago style deep dish (I am told that real Chicago style is some other creation called a tavern pizza). Cheese goes directly on crust with toppings and is covered in sauce.

I wrote a tweet praising American pizza last night. This may have triggered something. Now bunch of people are argu... well, sharing their thoughts about which region in the states has the best pizza.

@kunukunu New York City pizza 🍕. Don’t be fooled by what Chicago, Detroit, Connecticut, and other states call “pizza.” Jersey in a pinch. But NYC for the real thing. 🙏
