Eminem & daughter Hailie just erased $700K in school lunch debt across 103 schools in Michigan! No child hungry, no shame. 🙏 While billionaires buy yachts, Slim Shady quietly paid debts for thousands of kids. This is how you use fame — compassion over clout! Real hero! 💛📚

Yikes.

@ShakeelHashim @TheStalwart This seems big. (And scary.)

Big new open letter from AI company employees just dropped. “We request that the US government support an international effort to develop the technical and governance tools needed to deliberately pace the frontier of automated AI development” Signed by the chief scientists of OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, along with OpenAI’s chief research officer and Google DeepMind’s VP for AI safety. pacingthefrontier.com

Women strong.

Lamine Yamal consolando a Lionel Messi tras el triunfo de España sobre Argentina en la final de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA. 🗣️ Lamine Yamal: “Ganar la Copa del Mundo debería haber sido el momento más feliz de mi vida, pero cuando vi a Leo allí de pie después del pitido final, se me rompió el corazón. Por unos segundos, olvidé que éramos rivales. Solo vi al hombre que me hizo enamorarme del fútbol.” “Me acerqué a él porque ninguna leyenda debería abandonar un escenario así sintiéndose sola. Este es el mismo Lionel Messi que inspiró a toda una generación a soñar, el mismo hombre cuyo nombre gritaban todos los niños mientras jugaban en la calle. Verlo con el corazón roto no fue nada fácil.” “Le dije: ‘Gracias’. No por esta noche, sino porque sin ti, no sé si hoy estaría aquí. Antes de que tuviera la edad suficiente para entender el fútbol, tú ya habías cambiado mi vida. Les diste a chicos como yo la oportunidad de creer que la magia era real.” “A los 39 años seguía cargando con Argentina, seguía pidiendo el balón, seguía decidiendo partidos y seguía atemorizando a los mejores defensores del mundo. A la mayoría de los jugadores se les recuerda por lo que hicieron hace años. Messi seguía haciendo historia en el presente. Eso merece mucho más que aplausos; merece un respeto eterno.” “El mundo celebrará a España, y debe hacerlo porque nos ganamos este título. Pero no permitan que un solo resultado les haga olvidar todo lo que Messi le dio a este Mundial. Cada vez que tocaba el balón, sentías que algo imposible estaba a punto de suceder. Ese es un regalo que muy pocos futbolistas le han dado a este deporte.” “Cuando lo abracé, no estaba consolando a alguien que había fracasado. Estaba abrazando al mejor jugador que ha visto mi generación. Las finales se ganan o se pierden, los trofeos cambian de manos, pero una grandeza como la de Lionel Messi le pertenece al fútbol para siempre.” “Algún día la gente me preguntará cómo fue enfrentar a Lionel Messi en una final de la Copa del Mundo. No empezaré hablando del trofeo. Les diré que compartí la cancha con mi ídolo, que lo miré a los ojos después del pitido final y que le di las gracias por cambiar el fútbol para siempre. Ese momento permanecerá conmigo el resto de mi vida.”

Wow, this citizen owns these FBI agents who turn up at his house because of a social media post he made. Look at the defeat on their faces and in their posture. This dude wins the internet today for standing firm with these people. This is how you do it!

What victory looks like.

As with many elected officials I protected for nearly two decades as a police officer, my interactions with him were limited, I do remember when he and I were alone in a elevator and he pretended he didn’t know who I was after my congregational testimony. I will never forget his betrayal to me and my colleagues.

🗣️ Haaland: "It has been the best weeks I have had in my entire life. I think it has changed Norway. I think it has changed me. I hope it has brought the people together. I hope this also motivates young people back home in Norway, that it is possible to play on the biggest stage wearing this jersey."

Today America roots for Norway, and I need you to understand exactly why. We love an underdog. It is not a preference. It is a genetic condition. Two hundred and fifty-three years ago, a handful of colonials with no navy, no army, and no chance decided to throw a tea party in Boston Harbor to spite the largest empire the world had ever seen. An empire the sun never set on. An empire that could have ended us in an afternoon. And when the greatest military on earth said you cannot possibly do that, our answer was, and remains, hold my beer. Then we picked a fight we had no business winning. Then we declared ourselves free before we had actually won anything. Then we went out and made it true. We turned 250 last week. Still here. Still loud. That is the whole American operating system. The impossible odds. The comeback. The redemption. We do not just like that story, we are that story, and we will root for it anywhere we find it. It is why a bunch of college kids beating a Soviet hockey machine in 1980 still makes grown men cry in bars. So today. Norway. Five and a half million people. A country with more sheep than starting lineups. Playing England, a founding nation of the sport, on the biggest stage there is. Now let me be fair. We love England. Truly. Best ally we have got, and I say that with a full heart. Though the Japanese are gaining fast, so do not get comfortable. We love the Scots. We love the Northern Irish. We love our drunk cousins in Ireland, and yes I am lumping you all in, because half of you moved here anyway and you hate the English for reasons we are all familiar with. Nobody loves Wales. Nobody knows Wales exists. Nobody can understand a word of it. But I digress. Because today is not about any of that. Today is about five million Vikings walking into a stadium against an empire, with everyone on earth telling them they cannot possibly do this. You know exactly what we say to that. Let’s row!!! NORWAY!!!!!!

@SarahLongwell25 God may. I would not.

May god have mercy on their souls.

Before the fame, the money, and the Champions League nights… she believed in him. Erling Haaland and Isabel Haugseng Johansen’s love story is as real as it gets. They grew up in the same small town of Bryne, Norway, and bonded over their love for football at the local club, Bryne FK. (Haaland actually admits she made the first move, joking: "She was the one who looked for me.") Isabel had her own football journey, too. She was a talented forward for Bryne FK’s women’s team before stepping away during the pandemic. As Haaland’s career skyrocketed, Isabel stayed out of the spotlight, quietly supporting him through his meteoric rise. Fast forward to December 2024, and the couple welcomed their first child together. This isn't a story about headlines or fortune. It’s just two kids from a small town who dreamed big.

Extraordinarily moving…

Well. My team is out. Belgium sent us home 4 to 1, and I have made my peace by eating a waffle out of pure spite. So now I watch the rest for the love of the game. And I have picked a horse. Well. Actually, I picked a longboat. I am riding with Norway. Five and a half million Vikings against the entire world, led by that six foot four Norse god Erling Håland, who already threw Brazil off a cliff on Sunday. Do not act like you are not watching too. Now, some perspective, because people forget how hard this thing is to win. In 96 years, only eight nations have ever lifted the World Cup. Brazil, 5. Germany, 4. Italy, 4. Argentina, 3. Uruguay, 2. France, 2. England, 1. Spain, 1. That is the entire list. And here is the joke nobody says out loud. Every single one is from Europe or South America. Every winner, every finalist, 96 years running, two continents. The Dutch, the Hungarians, the Swedes, the Czechs, all European bridesmaids. Nobody else has ever even reached the final. So let us be honest about what this actually is. The World Cup is a European and South American Cup, and the rest of the planet gets a lovely invitation to come lose in the group stage. And before anyone cries, we would do the exact same thing. Give us a World Championship of American Football and it plays out identically, just with the flag flipped. Sure, Belgium shows up. Curaçao shows up. Everybody gets a jersey and a nice hotel. And they all go home in a barrel. Even Canada, right next door, cannot hang, because they are off playing their mutant cousin version with three downs and a field the size of an airport. Bless them. It is almost football. That is what a home sport looks like. The World Cup is just soccer’s version of it. And two of the names on that trophy belong to countries that do not even exist anymore. West Germany won three titles before the wall came down. Czechoslovakia reached two finals before it split in half and vanished off the map. Whole nations came, competed, and disappeared, and the trophy outlived them. So here is where we are, and the bracket does not care about your feelings. Argentina still has to get past Egypt today. Switzerland draws Colombia today. Then France gets Morocco, Spain gets Belgium, and my Norway gets England. You have to pick one. Everybody does. And it says everything about you. Some of you will pick the favorite. The safe money. The chalk. And some of you will ride the long shot, the little country nobody believes in. So which are you. The one who confidently picked the Soviet Union to win gold in 1980, right up until a bunch of American college kids walked onto the ice and ruined your whole afternoon? Or the one who always, always bets on the miracle? I know my answer. Five million Vikings and a thunder god. Skål. Let’s ride.

Cara, depois deste vídeo vou torcer pra Noruega, eles merecem, haaland merece, ele é o cara.

🚨 This is what real respect for a legendary American warrior looks like. Four-star Gen. Christopher Donahue one of the most combat-tested, decorated leaders in the U.S. military was forced into early retirement by Pete Hegseth. As he walked out for the last time, his soldiers, family, and community gave him the standing ovation and love he earned. No politics. Just pure honor. Watch this powerful moment:

France…!
