Digital board ads have ruined #NHL hockey for me. @Sportsnet @hockeynight tonight: TOR/STL intermittent flashes/strobe effect WPG/COL same screen flicker, no it’s not my TV Only reason I’m watching MTL/NSH is because it’s somehow immune. digitally enhanced dasherboard 👎👎

🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on FIFA turning the World Cup Final into a Super Bowl circus: “Football is losing its soul little by little. A World Cup Final is supposed to be the purest form of football, pressure, intensity, emotion, tactics, suffering, history. Not a halftime concert made for social media clips and celebrities in vip seats. When you play at the highest level, your body is programmed around rhythm. Fifteen minutes. That’s what every footballer in the world has known since childhood. Your muscles stay warm, your concentration stays locked in, your emotions stay alive. Now imagine players sitting there for 25 minutes during the biggest game of their lives because FIFA wants a bigger TV spectacle. People think footballers are robots. They are not. Momentum is real. If one team is dominating before halftime, that long break can completely kill the intensity of the game. It changes everything tactically and mentally. You cool down physically, you lose adrenaline, and then people expect players to immediately return playing at 100 miles per hour. And let’s be honest here, this is not about football, it’s about money and entertainment. They want football to become the Super Bowl. More commercials, more performances, more headlines, more celebrities. But football became the biggest sport in the world without all of that. The game itself was enough. The dangerous part is that if the final quality drops or players get injured because of these changes, fans will attack the players first. They will say certain stars disappeared in the second half or failed under pressure, without understanding the conditions were completely changed for a television show. For me, the World Cup Final should feel sacred. Ninety minutes of war between the best players on earth. Not a pause long enough for the world to forget the match is even happening.”

🚨WE ARE DOOMED: The US government just sold 30-year bonds at a 5% yield for the first time since 2007. That means investors are demanding more return to lend America money long-term. Because they’re less confident America will be able to pay it back. The national debt just surpassed GDP for the first time since World War II. Gas is up 66% since December. The war has cost $25 billion. Investors are pricing in the risk.

How long could you last doing this job

He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons. What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation. Truly a golden age.

"For some reason"

This one is a bit more accurate

“On day one, I will end inflation and slash prices.”

@_TK_555555 Without having seen it yet, would it have been so wrong to make it Episode 4 or 5 of this season’s Daredevil, Like how there was a Mandalorian episode during The Book of Boba Fett?

So it's straight up an episode

@GamewithDave I’ve been playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for 13 months now. Amazing game! Just… ugh. Life.

Being an adult gamer means having the money to buy every game you want… and absolutely zero time to play them.

Just a reminder of how good X can be.

I fucking hate this administration dude

@NikTek I still have mine but it suffered the yellow-light-of-death which I never bothered to repair (PS4 soon after).

I still find it insane that in order to make early PS3 models backwards compatible with PS2 games, Sony had to literally shove a mini PS2 inside the PS3. Later PS3 models had to remove the PS2 hardware inside the PS3 to cut costs.
