This site can really be soul crushing.

@Pokeycorky I think the best host (hostess) on that show is @KatTimpf. A sidekick, basically, who's better than the main host.

So Tyrus is sitting in again on Gutfeld. I like Tyrus as a sidekick, but there was a reason Ed McMahon didn’t fill in for Johnny Carson or Paul Shaffer fill in for David Letterman. Just saying! #TheFive

Huge ask but if anyone can get 4 semi final tickets for the England/Argentina game let me know 🙌🏻 happy to pay! Not expecting a freebie!

@televisionaryZW @swipe_sports Not even close. 81 million out of 349 million. 23%.

@swipe_sports More than half the country has Netflix and uses it regularly, when they login during the event that’ll be the number one thing they’ll see. It’s 2026, cable is the past.

Your kids aren't going to 'stumble onto' baseball on Netflix. They have to choose Netflix. Pay for Netflix. Open Netflix. Then pick baseball over everything else. MLB keeps talking about growing the game and keeps paying to shrink it.

@DavidFurones_ @luisakalefty Because when the big event is somewhere else and it's inconvenient for Americans, we're told it's selfish to not want it to be at the best time for the locals. Now you say we're selfish if we do want it to be at the best time for the locals? The only consistency is anti-U.S.

@luisakalefty Exactly. I don't get the American discourse complaining that it's not prime time in the States.

I might catch some heat in the States for this take, but it's absolutely the right decision to have the World Cup semifinals at 3 p.m. Eastern. Spain and France for a spot in the final should air in prime time in those nations, not from 2 a.m. through 5 a.m. in Europe. That would be absurd. Same for England on Wednesday, while the start time is still in the afternoon for Argentina, where I'm pretty sure it's a national holiday anyway.

@yechielleiter @RoKhanna "coordinate his visit with the State" Seems straight out of a Communist country's playbook.

Let's not lose our grip on the facts - instead of recriminations and accusations - just the facts. 1) Congressman @RoKhanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel - this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in-depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer. He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. 2) He chose to conduct his visit accompanied by Palestinian activists, and, for some reason, @nytimes journalists with cameras at the ready. With him was also a person affiliated with @jstreet, an organization that actively lobbies against the government of Israel on Capitol Hill. 3) Mr. Khanna and his entourage entered what was believed to be a closed military zone without permission. The military had no prior knowledge of him going there, due to his refusal to coordinate with them. The vehicle they stopped was unknown to them and therefore provoked suspicion. The moment details of the Congressman's identity were cleared, he was free to go. At no point was the congressman, or any member of his party, threatened by the soldiers, or civilians bearing arms. 4) To add insult to injury - the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout "genocide" and "apartheid" libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti-Israel media frenzy. The facts don't lie - this was a cheap, anticipated provocation, that could, and should have been avoided. 5) Calling me a liar won’t change the facts. I’d be happy to host Congressman Khanna at our embassy for an in-depth conversation on his grievances regarding Israel.

@Alden_Gonzalez He could have easily played for the Phillies if he wanted to. He chose to stay with the non-competitive Angels. He also has a habit of taking Eagles balls that could have gone to children.

The All-Star Game will begin with Mike Trout being announced and getting a thunderous ovation from a Philly crowd that holds a special place in his heart. It’s going to be really cool, and it’s going to mean so much to him. Nice touch by AL manager John Schneider.

@sotheysay3 @_DAVgames @archer_rs Is it normal for the top soccer players to bounce around so much? (Asking because I don't follow club teams.)

@_DAVgames @archer_rs Dave, answer this- does an ‘ Average ‘ player, play for- Man U Real Madrid AC Milan PSG. So STFU you dick.

People are often critical of Victoria Beckham but to see this outpouring of emotion here from her as England scores a goal shows her deep connection with both football and the team.

@JohnMolinaro No. The argument is that dives should be called or not called consistently. Kane and Mbappe get away with it, but not somebody who has less clout.

So, a player shouldn’t get a yellow card for an egregious dive when he is already on a caution? Is that really the argument being put forth? What else are we letting players on a yellow to get away with?

@martynziegler It's a good thing if they earned it. It's not a good thing if they got calls other teams didn't get. The #1 seeds in March Madness have easier paths to the Final Four than other teams, but we don't expect the refs to throw games for them.

The four countries kept apart by FIFA's new seeding system - Argentina, England, France and Spain - have all made the World Cup semi-finals. Is this a good thing?

@PlasticChairDis @Shadow_ofaDoubt The Hardy Boys were high 100s to low 200s. Seems like Goosebumps books were low 100s. What are you smoking?

These kids weren't raised on The Hardy Boys and Goosebumps like the rest of us were 😔

I don't know if this is just a generational gap thing, or just a tard-normie gap thing, But when I was growing up we referred to these as "chapter books" and most people started reading the ones designed for children before they hit 10 years old. You would be put into tutoring or special ed if you couldn't. The first Harry Potter book, was 300+ pages, written for and mainly read by 11 year old.

@Shadow_ofaDoubt It wasn't though. It was 223 and had illustrations.

@stuholden The controversy is that the rule isn't applied consistently. Kane dives - no call. Mbappe dives - no call. But a guy with less name recognition - it gets called.

I have no problem with this outcome. Embolo embellished with the intent of getting another player booked. It’s a yellow card for simulation — not sure what the controversy is here? Don’t dive

@RachelXReads I wear the proof of my reading habit every day. Since 5th grade. Carry on with your negative assumptions and condescending attitude though.

I'm tired of complacency, mediocrity, and defeatism. I'm tired of the idea that, because we have to "work for the man" forty hours a week, we're entitled to spend the other 128 scrolling and sleeping. And because we are too tired to do anything but scroll, we then let our children scroll... and scroll. Why do we delight in shutting off our minds? Why do we feel we have to protect ourselves from the effort of personal growth? Does no one remember the thrill of a good book? Maybe our children wouldn't find reading so hard if we didn't tell them with both our words and our own bad habits that it is. I grew up reading. So will my children. I set up mandatory reading time for them when they were first learning to sound out words, and now I can't get them to put books down. I limit their screen time. I limit my own screen time. We take walks. We play board games. We laugh. The human spirit is capable of so much. We all need to return to enjoying our humanity before we forget what that even means.
