@oronje_emmanuel @Asensii20 Daft is your ..., I'm guessing judge didn't see it since messi had his back towards referee and it was less obvious either way

He wasn’t lying because what the hell is this???
ُ@Asensii20
Messi’s reputation is so fucked even footballers like Müller are coming out and talking about how referees always favored him in games
English
@Asensii20 Don't get me wrong, I've never been a fan of Messi, always thought he is a little rat to be honest, but just stating my opinion on this single instance.
English
@Asensii20 I mean this is pure hand play, no? He literally stopped the ball with his hand to control it easier. Can't be sure if it's intentional or not, but at least this is not an obvious wrong call and could have gone either way, something we see often in football.

35,780 signatures and rising but we don’t stop. 🔥🔥👀
The stronger the numbers, the harder we strike.
Our brother in Christ, SaidAbdelrazek, is imprisoned in Egypt for converting to Christianity and refusing to renounce Jesus.
Egypt invented false terrorism charges against him..a shameless lie to punish his faith.
Egypt claims they protect All three divine religions yet persecutes or brother in Christ for following what the Lord told us , he will make us fisher of men 🔥 and that's exactly what Egypt is using against him.
A life sentence here equals a slow death sentence.
His health is collapsing under deliberate cruelty:
For months he has suffered severe lower back pain, agonizing urinary tract infections, and an underlying heart condition that causes sudden blackouts.
They ripped the cross tattoo from his flesh.
They suspended him in crucifixion positions.
They deny him medical care, food, clean clothing, and every basic human need.
They unleash constant persecution and harassment to crush his faith.
This is a systematic attack on religious minorities locked away simply for believing in Christ.
Imagine telling a terrified child their father is being tortured to death behind bars for his faith.
Now feel it: what if it was your son or your brother?
This is happening right now in 2026.
We will not be silent.
The Bible commands us to remember the imprisoned as if chained with them.
Every signature turns the pressure into a roar they cannot ignore
I’ve signed. Will you ? ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

🚨🤼♂️ Khabib says he is in PRIME now in his wrestling skills and he's far better than he was when he retired back in 2020:
“People think my prime was between 2018 and 2020, but I wasn’t in my prime back then. I turned 32 in September 2020, and I retired in October. So I hadn’t even really begun yet. My grappling has improved tremendously since then. In 2026, it’s much better than it was in 2020.
I watch my old fights now and think, ‘How could I have made that mistake here?’ Meanwhile, people watching from the outside say, ‘Wow, what a level.’ But to me, that’s not the level. My grappling is far better now. And the guys who trained with me in both 2020 and 2026 say the same thing."

Watch J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1962 interview about The Lord of the Rings.
If Tolkien were alive to respond, his answer would likely sound something like this:
"I never set out to write a treatise on medieval governance or the practical burdens of kingship. My work is a mythology an exploration of moral truth, not political mechanics. Aragorn is not meant to be a bureaucrat but an archetype: the just king of legend, much like Arthur. Myth is concerned with the heart of a ruler, not the tax policies of his court.
The question of governance in the modern sense belongs to another kind of story one that I entirely respect, but did not seek to write. Real history is indeed complicated, but myth speaks to deeper, older truths. Power in my world is already perilous; no one may wield it without cost. Even the wise refuse the Ring, for good intentions alone are never sufficient. In that sense, my work hardly denies the burden of rule it only treats it in a different language.
As for the orcs: they are not a people I delight in destroying. Their existence is a tragedy, a corruption of something that was once good. No just king would slaughter the innocent, for even in the darkest creatures there remains a spark of the original creation. Mercy is not weakness; it is the highest form of strength.
You ask questions proper to politics. I ask questions proper to myth. Both have their place, but they need not answer each other in the same terms.

George R.R. Martin explains how his Game of Thrones characters wielding power badly is his answer to Tolkien: "Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles? Real-life kings had real-life problems to deal with. Just being a good guy was not the answer. You had to make hard, hard decisions. Sometimes what seemed to be a good decision turned around and bit you in the ass; it was the law of unintended consequences. I’ve tried to get at some of these in my books. My people who are trying to rule don’t have an easy time of it. Just having good intentions doesn’t make you a wise king." What do you think Tolkien would have thought about such comments?

ZELENSKYY to BBC: We went through difficult relations with Iran. We did nothing to them. They shot down our plane, killed our passengers and crew, didn’t admit it, and didn’t let experts in.
Then the full-scale war started. They handed Shahed drones to Russians to kill our civilians. I asked them to stop. They promised there would be only one batch. They lied and kept supplying weapons.
That’s why I consider them accomplices of Russia.

@DjokovicFan_ He didnt say he has mental health issues, he said he wasnt mentally and phisically prepared to play tennis at top level and should take a break. He refered to himself as someone who was in the same spot. Fuck OP.

Ivanisevic on Tsitsipas:
“I knew on the second day working with him this wasn’t going anywhere. I never insulted him. I spoke the truth and I was proven correct. I advised him to take a break from tennis because he has mental issues, not just physical.”

Christopher Tolkien on the commercialization of The Lord of the Rings:
"Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his popularity and absorbed by the absurdity of the times. The gap that has opened up between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, is beyond me. Such a degree of commercialization reduces the aesthetic and philosophical scope of this creation to nothing. I have only one solution left: to turn my head away."
Was he right?

@fandompulse @grok is this citation true, is there evidence of g.r.r. martin saying this?

George R.R. Martin on how film and TV adaptations make the story worse:
"Everywhere you look, there are more screenwriters and producers eager to take great stories and “make them their own.” It does not seem to matter whether the source material was written by Stan Lee, Charles Dickens, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, Jane Austen, or… well, anyone. No matter how major a writer it is, no matter how great the book, there always seems to be someone on hand who thinks he can do better, eager to take the story and “improve” on it. “The book is the book, the film is the film,” they will tell you, as if they were saying something profound. Then they make the story their own.
They never make it better, though. Nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand, they make it worse."
Is he right?

Man on Fire (2004) sitting at 39% on Rotten Tomatoes is proof that sometimes critics don’t know what they are doing. It might’ve been too intense for them back then but it is actually such an emotional thriller with Denzel completely locked in.
