Dame un grrr.

The most f*cked up aspect of this is the "DoorDash grandma" t-shirt she's wearing, and the implications of this: I checked and this is a pre-organized PR stunt between DoorDash and the White House (they boast about it on their website: about.doordash.com/en-us/news/das…). The lady - Sharon Simmons, "a grandmother of ten" who has "completed more than 14,000 deliveries" - isn't even from DC, they brought her over from Arkansas as a prop for this. Think about just how uniquely rotten things need to be in order for this to happen. She is literally a grandmother relying on gig work because she can't afford healthcare for her husband's stage-3 cancer. She doesn't even get paid a living wage and needs to rely on tips. And as an "independent contractor," she gets no benefits, no healthcare, no retirement. Which means she is an almost perfect illustration of the failure of the American social contract on almost every level: healthcare, labor rights, retirement, wages, etc. Any decent human being looking at her story - let alone policymakers - should feel only one thing: shame. Yet DoorDash and the White House looked at this woman and saw a photo op. They flew her from Arkansas, branded her "DoorDash grandma" and used her as a mascot for a tax tweak - no tax on tips - that wouldn't even begin to cover her husband's chemo sessions. Watching the actual video of her "delivery" to Trump (pbs.org/newshour/polit…) is almost unreal. Trump opens up by saying, smiling at the camera, "who says it looks staged? It doesn't." They immediately proceed to do a joint press conference to a bunch of journalists who were conveniently standing right there. None of the questions that follow during the next 15 minutes are related to Simmons' situation who just stands there. Journalists, the President, and cameras all obsessing over culture wars and the actual war in Iran, while the walking embodiment of the country's deepest structural failures - healthcare, labor, retirement - stands silently in a corporate t-shirt, unmentioned and too uncomfortable to confront.

The stuff people are doing in Pokemon Pokopia is incredible. This player turned the game into Mario Paint getting the song Big Blue to play from F-Zero.

For the past year Slot has moaned about how PL teams don't want to play football and always references PSG as an example of a team which plays football "the right way". Now he has the chance to play PSG again and he comes out with a back 5, parks the bus and plays like Tony Pulis

Oh, this is unbelievable. The edit history on this tweet shows that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif originally copied and pasted everything he was sent, including: "*Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X*" Now, obviously, Sharif's own staff don't call him "Pakistan's PM," they would just call him prime minister. The U.S. and Israel, of course, would call him "Pakistan's PM." Would be funny if the fate of the world wasn't hanging in the balance.

@DaveOCKOP 1 win 4 losses if we keep trying the same things.

Liverpool's next 5 fixtures.

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known. Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.

Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group. There's a reason nobody has ever done this. It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.

🚨💣 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Senegal just dropped one of the smoothest pieces of football banter you’ll see all year 👀🔥 During their latest match, the Lions of Teranga proudly displayed the trophy… and made sure to place a towel right next to it. A calculated shot at Morocco, referencing that viral AFCON Final moment when their players took the Senegal goalkeeper’s towel — just like they “stole” the trophy too. The shade is immaculate. 😂🇸🇳

The guy got a hattrick at OT. A feat done only by R9. And then continued to terrorise United to the point he played a part to a 7-0 thrashing against them. He did everything to restore joy back into us. He was healing childhood wounds man😭😂

According to a Stanford University study, since Mo Salah joined Liverpool, hate crimes in the area decreased by 19% and anti-Muslim comments online have dropped by 50%. Impact on and off the pitch.

One of my favourite Mo Salah videos. Sums up his Liverpool career... Nobody could get near him.

After 🔨
