Ronda Rousey goes off at the press conference

Reminder that it was TKO’s Ari Emanuel who convinced Trump to drop the federal lawsuit against them. TKO should be broken up.

They never had taxes that’s like the whole point of tips

🚨 An Update from the CEO I want to speak openly about the situation we are facing. For more than four years, our company has operated out of the BVI without a traditional bank account. Throughout that time, the business was funded primarily through token-based agreements. That meant development, infrastructure, marketing, legal, and many other operational costs were covered through tokens rather than fiat. This was possible because we worked with a service provider who believed deeply in our vision and agreed to support the project in exchange for tokens. For over four years, that provider stood by us and helped us build. However, due to recent market conditions, he lost confidence in the project and decided to claim tokens that were scheduled to unlock after two years, on 7 April. That event triggered the crash you have seen and brought our collaboration with him to an end. It has also placed the company in a very difficult position. Over the past four years, the total cost of building this project has exceeded $18,000,000 USD. We have invoices, records, and audit trails for every expense. During this entire period, @ice_z3us, @robertpreoteasa, and @ice_apoll0 did not take salaries, because we believed in the long-term vision and chose to keep building. As many of you know, under our tokenomics, the team managed approximately 4.2 billion tokens across the team, treasury, and ecosystem allocations. Because the monthly operating costs of the project were so high, we entered into a long-term agreement with the service provider under which he would receive a larger amount of tokens after two years in return for supporting the business and helping us scale. That structure was meant to buy us time to build properly and reach a stronger position. The reality is that the cost of operating the project became far greater than what could reasonably be recovered. The provider ultimately lost money on the arrangement, and after investing around $18,000,000, he chose to exit and sell the tokens he was entitled to. That is what brought us to where we are today. At this moment, the company still holds a little over 1 billion tokens. As the attached data shows, and based on the average prices at which the provider sold in recent days, it is clear that the company has been operating at a loss from the very beginning. Even so, we kept going because we truly believed in the project. We have seen many accusations claiming that we, as a team, dumped tokens on the community. That is simply not true. What happened was the termination of an agreement with a long-term service provider, and that outcome has now been reflected in the market. The project's current operating cost is around $400,000 per month. Many people do not realize how expensive it is to keep a project like this alive at scale. Even if every token we had received had been sold, it still would not have fully covered the total costs and obligations of the business. We never lied when we said we believed in this project. In fact, we are the ones who have been hurt the most by this situation. Because I want to remain fully transparent, I have to say this clearly: we are now reviewing whether it is possible to reduce costs significantly over the coming weeks, potentially by half. If we continue operating, it may require us to sell part of the remaining treasury tokens to cover essential expenses. We are no longer in a position where we can keep absorbing losses indefinitely, especially after already carrying losses of roughly $8 million. What happens next depends on whether the project still has real support from the market and the community. We will watch the coming days carefully and assess whether there is enough confidence and momentum for us to continue building. If there is, we will keep going. If there is not, we will be forced to consider shutting the project down. And if that happens, I want to be clear: we will burn our remaining tokens, not sell them. It is also important for the community to understand how much of the unlocked token supply was used to support the ecosystem. Out of the 4.2 billion tokens managed across these years, more than 900 million tokens were used for exchange campaigns, KOLs, and liquidity. Many people ask for listings, but few understand what listings actually require: exchange liquidity, market making, campaigns, promotions, and other associated costs. These are real costs, and they are substantial. There is another truth I have avoided discussing publicly until now, but I believe it is important to say it. Exchanges do not value all user bases equally. Large user numbers from Tier 3 countries did not help with listings in the way many people assumed. In many cases, exchanges specifically asked us for performance and user metrics excluding those regions. This is an uncomfortable reality of the industry, but it is a reality nonetheless. In the images attached, I have also shared detailed costs, including what different exchanges charged us and how many tokens were required for marketing and listing-related activity. I want people to better understand how this industry really works. We have nothing to hide, and the exchanges involved can confirm the commercial structures. I am deeply saddened that we are in this position, but I owe you the truth. The documentation is there. The records are there. The transaction history is there. If anything, we are the ones who lost the most trying to make this vision real.

I’ve been asking this question publicly for several years.

I know everyone has the same point system and blah blah blah but missing the playoffs bc you lose fuck ass shootouts is so annoying

No one asked but here’s admin’s 👇

The Penguins got 41 wins and they the 2 seed in the Metro. Caps got 40 wins and probably won’t make the playoffs. Whole system gotta change

It’s f*cking ridiculous the #Isles are 5th in the East in wins, 2nd in Goals Against… and sit in 10th place. ❌ NHL’s equivalent of giving 13th place trophies — the OT Loss point. PIT PHI BOS CBJ don’t belong in the race. REAL TALK. 🎤

With Tristan Jarry on waivers, it’s beyond time to discuss how much damage Kyle Dubas did to the Pittsburgh Penguins in Year 1. #pens #LetsGoPens A refresher on timeline and transactions: dailyfaceoff.com/news/tristan-j…

Just asked my husband to make pasta and lobster for Mother’s Day. His response was “I’m not on your roster” Guess that’s a no.

@game7__ The longest rage bait tweet of all time

Sports fans don't agree on much anymore. But everyone is seemingly in agreement on this: Angel Reese could legitimately beat some NBA players in a game of 1 on 1. She could easily beat at least 3 players on the Atlanta Hawks right now. I don't even have to say the names because we are all literally thinking about the same 3 guys right now. And she's about to become the biggest basketball star on the planet. Here's why. Angel Reese just got traded to the Atlanta Dream for two first-round picks. Everyone is arguing about what went wrong in Chicago. Nobody is talking about the fact that her career rebounding average would compete with the best big men in the NBA. Here's what people are missing. Angel Reese has played two WNBA seasons. In those two seasons, she has averaged 14.1 points and 12.9 rebounds per game. She's been an All-Star both years. She has 46 career double-doubles, the fastest any player has reached 30 in league history. That 12.9 rebounds per game number is wild. The NBA's top rebounders this season, Nikola Jokic and Rudy Gobert, are averaging around 13 per game. Angel Reese's career average, across two full seasons in the WNBA, is right there with them. Former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague said it outright: "She's the Dennis Rodman of the WNBA." And the records back it up. As a rookie in 2024, she set the WNBA single-season record for rebounds per game at 13.1. Her 446 total rebounds were the most any player has ever grabbed in a single WNBA season. Her 172 offensive rebounds were also a single-season record. She broke the WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles with 15 straight, shattering Candace Parker's previous record of 12. Reese did it as a 22-year-old rookie in her first 20 games. She became the first player in WNBA history to grab 20 or more rebounds in three consecutive games. The last rookie in the WNBA or NBA to post back-to-back 20-rebound games was Shaquille O'Neal. In 1993. And she did all of that with a broken wrist that ended her season six games early. In 2025, she averaged 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. Led the WNBA in rebounding again. Posted 23 double-doubles. Became the only player in league history with multiple streaks of 10 or more consecutive double-doubles. Recorded the second-youngest triple-double in WNBA history. The full story of how Angel Reese became the most dominant rebounder in women's basketball history, and what Atlanta just got for two first-round picks, is here: itsgame7.com/news/angel-ree… Before the WNBA, she won a national championship at LSU. Scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the title game. Beat Caitlin Clark's Iowa 102-85. Was named Most Outstanding Player. That game drew 9.9 million viewers, the most-watched women's college basketball game in history at the time. In the inaugural Unrivaled season in early 2025, she led the league in rebounding, posted the first 20-20 game in league history with 22 points and 21 rebounds, won the championship, and was named Defensive Player of the Year. She earned $9.4 million last year. Highest-paid Black woman in professional basketball. Beats by Dre. Cash App. Victoria's Secret. Reebok. She brings an audience and revenue wherever she goes. Atlanta gave up two first-round picks for a 23-year-old, two-time All-Star who averages a career double-double, holds more WNBA rebounding records than anyone in history, and is still a month away from her 24th birthday. Everyone is debating whether the Sky got enough. The better question is whether two first-round picks is enough for a player whose rebounding numbers compete with the best players in the NBA.

Tonight at Walmart, I watched a 5 year old boy ask a little girl if he could hug her because he liked her sweater. She said, "No." He smiled, "Okay! I like your sweater. Bye!" and ran back to his dad. To his dad, he proudly said: "I didn't hug her because she said no... but I told her I liked her sweater!" His dad replied, "Cool, buddy!" ...and they went on shopping. If a 5-year-old boy can understand consent and respect a "No," then so can every adult.

@EvanSowards If you cry about what concerts other people go to you’re a loser

If you go to a Kanye West concert in 2026 you’re a fucking loser

Sports fans can't agree on much anymore. But everyone is seemingly in agreement on this: Audi Crooks could legitimately beat some NBA players in a game of 1 on 1. She could easily beat at least 4 players on the Washington Wizards right now. And she's about to become the biggest basketball star on the planet. Here's why. Crooks just entered the transfer portal. One year of eligibility left. Every program in America is going to fight over her. The numbers this season: 25.8 points per game. 64.9% from the field. Second in the nation in scoring. She scored 47 against Indiana. 43 against Valparaiso. 41 against Kansas. 41 against Kansas State. She was the only player in the country with multiple 40-point games this season. Kevin Garnett watched her highlights and called it "old-school fundamentals mixed with new-age dominance." But here's the part most people don't know. Audi Crooks is from Algona, Iowa. Population 5,274. Her dad Jimmie was a 6-foot-8 basketball player who earned all-conference honors in high school and played in college. Her mom Michelle was one of the all-time leading scorers at Bishop Garrigan High School. They both wore number 55. Jimmie died on August 14, 2021. He was 55 years old. Audi was 16. She has worn number 55 at every level since. She has a tattoo on her right arm: the word "Pops," a halo, angel wings, and a Bible verse, Proverbs 3:6. Before every game, she prays and talks to her father. She says he has the best seat in the house. In high school, she scored 2,733 career points. She averaged 32.9 points on 75.2% shooting as a senior. She scored 49 points in the state championship game. Back-to-back state titles. She went viral playing AAU ball and earned the nickname "Lady Shaq." The full story of how a kid from a town of 5,000 in Iowa became the most dominant force in college basketball, and why every blue blood in the country is about to fight over her, is here: itsgame7.com/nba/audi-crook… Then she got to Iowa State. As a freshman, in her very first NCAA tournament game, Iowa State trailed Maryland by 20 points. Crooks scored 40 points on 18-of-20 shooting. Ninety percent from the field. Iowa State came back and won 93-86. She joined Bill Walton as the only player in NCAA Tournament history to score 40 or more on 90% shooting. She was 19 years old. Since she was 13, she has been body-shamed and criticized by people who have never come close to doing anything half as impressive as what she does on a basketball court every night. Her response: "Being strong is something that I'm proud of. Being big is something that I'm proud of." She doesn't argue. She doesn't fire back. She just scores 47 on you and walks off. Iowa State's season ended with a first-round NCAA tournament loss to Syracuse. She scored 37 in the loss. Her teammates entered the portal. The program fell apart. And now, she's available. UConn. South Carolina. LSU. Whoever lands Audi Crooks becomes an instant national championship favorite. She's 21 years old. She's from a town most people have never heard of. She carries her father's number on her back and his name on her arm. And she plays basketball like someone dropped a 1990s center into the modern game. One year left. The biggest transfer in women's basketball history. And she's just getting started.

God forbid a marginalized group of people want to have a night to celebrate themselves and a bunch of religious losers have to come on here and whine about it. Doesn’t the Bible teach you to love everyone? You religious conservative fucks act like you’re the standard for how a human being should act when you’re genuinely one of the worst types people on earth. Grow the fuck up and accept the fact that gay people exist. You wanna know why there’s a Pride Night? Because assholes like YOU constantly oppress them and try to act like they don’t exist. They deserve a night to celebrate themselves and if you have a problem with that then you’re a fucking pussy.

17-point lead for Duke?? ILLINOIS VS. DUKE ODDS ARE LIVE 🗣️
