@nexta_tv @grok did this work?

Putin meets with Turkey’s foreign minister The Russian dictator said relations between Moscow and Ankara continue to develop “on an upward trajectory” despite existing difficulties. Trying to win over Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Putin showered praise on Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and described ties between the two countries as friendly. “Please convey my very best wishes to him. We are always glad to see him in our country,” Putin said, referring to the Turkish president.

Extraordinary. Among the many claims that Al Gore got wrong or grossly overstated were: (1) An imminent 20-foot sea level rise (2) The disappearance of snow on Mount Kilimanjaro (3) Polar bears drowning in "significant numbers" (4) Hurricane Katrina was a direct result of warming (5) An influx of fresh meltwater from Greenland could completely halt the Gulf Stream, potentially plunging Northern Europe into a sudden ice age (6) The drying of Lake Chad was entirely due to global warming (7) Rising carbon dioxide levels historically directly caused the Earth's temperature to rise in a cause-and-effect relationship (8) Glacier National Park would lose all (or nearly all) its glaciers soon (9) Arctic summer sea ice could disappear very soon (10) Low-lying Pacific atolls/islands were currently being inundated now, causing evacuations due to warming (11) Coral reefs facing imminent widespread destruction primarily from warming (12) Increased frequency and severity of floods, wildfires, tornadoes, or general extreme weather directly are tied to warming (13) Himalayan glaciers melting rapidly and will soon lead to depletion of water supplies

@TSN_Sports It's the correct call. The camera behind the players shows that no contact was made.

NO PENALTY GIVEN! After a VAR check, it was determined this is not a penalty kick for France. Do you agree? 🤔 #FIFAWorldCup

@OranjeCanada Agreed. Spain has dropped 1 place in the live men's team rankings.

At least we aren't Spain. No shame in a draw against Japan, even though we should have done better.

@PolymarketSport Switzerland was ranked 24th in 2010 when they beat Spain. Cabo Verde is ranked 67.

🚨REMINDER: Spain lose their opening match of the 2010 World Cup to Switzerland then went on to win the World Cup.

Now I don't feel bad about the Dutch game...

Absolutely mediocre game from the Dutch. Why did our coach pull all of our attackers when they were gaining steam. I'm happy Koeman brought us out of the dark ages in his first stint as coach, but he's coached poorly since returning.

@RiseOfAlberta Looking at the sample size you have a margin of error of 7.5%. Its also an online panel of a online commentator. It's a terrible poll.

🚨BREAKING: A new independent national poll shows Alberta independence support has surged to 40.9%. The sample was smaller, but unlike the major polling firms, this wasn’t another narrative-driven poll designed to demoralize the movement.

@TouchmineX First, that's obviously false. Second, if a knockout match ends in a PSA it's a draw for statistical purposes and you can still have 0 trophies.

🚨 Fox Sports showed a graphic during the match vs Paraguay claiming the United States have 9 wins, 8 draws, and 0 losses in World Cup history. If they're supposedly undefeated at the World Cup, how exactly do they still have 0 World Cup trophies? 🤔🏆

@StarWarsDaily_ No. Prequels were great ideas executed badly. Sequels were bad ideas executed badly.

Do you think the Star Wars Sequel trilogy will eventually receive the same kind of love and reappraisal as the prequels did many years after their release?

@ReelCommonSense @Arteymas_ I remember watching that live. As a hardcore Dutch fan I was more upset that volley wasn't goal of the tournament than I was that it was scored against us.

@Arteymas_ How about Tim Cahill volley as one of the best. Ignored by everyone.

Robin van Persie anotó uno de los goles más espectaculares de la historia de los mundiales… Iker Casillas solo vio el vuelo del águila y el balón pasar a su lado, sabía que no tenía ninguna oportunidad de llegar a él…

@PamelaBies @grok Confirm or reject this hot take.

If you think about removing your wisdom teeth, think twice Many dentists push routine extraction, but there is research and strong arguments for keeping them when possible 1. Improved chewing function. • Wisdom teeth act as extra molars for grinding and breaking down food 2. Maintaining jawbone structure and density. • Teeth stimulate jawbone through chewing • Keeping them helps prevent bone loss/resorption in the back of the jaw over time • This supports better long-term jaw stability and helps with TMJ function 3. They are back-up teeth. • Strong, durable teeth can serve you as 'spares' if you lose other molars 4. Proper chewing supports overall metabolism, facial/jaw development and even brain function (via better mastication and nerve stimulation) • Ray Peat referenced animal studies where molar removal negatively affected learning and lead to hippocampal neurogenesis 5. Risks • After extraction, up to 90% of wisdom teeth sites can develop cavitations which are hidden areas of dead/nectrotic jaw bone that trap bacteria and toxins. These are often missed on regular X-rays and are linked to inflammation, fatigue, auto-immune issues etc. Palatal expansion is the most effective for creating more space for your wisdom teeth btw Other options are orthodontic treatments to create space, tongue posture (mewing etc) and metabolic nutrition, chewing mastic gum, hard foods, raw meat Our ancestors did not need to have them removed. Modern jaws are often smaller due to diet, which is why problems arise more frequently now Removal should be the last resort, not the default

@TrainWooden @IcyVert We look uninspired, but we can still dream

@IcyVert With all due respect, as a Dutchman, are you fucking high?

MY WORLD CUP PICK IS IN. GIVE ME THE NETHERLANDS.

Again, I disagree. The three OT films all had different directors and they are generally loved by everyone. Lucas guided the story and wrote the scripts himself for the OT (didn't receiving a writing credit for Empire though). What the ST lacked was someone that brought a unified vision.

@MarkFiselier @Clint_Davey1 Agree, this trilogy needed the same director for all 3 movies. Either of them, but just one of them and it would've at least been 1 smooth story

By far the dumbest decision in the sequels was to introduce this new big bad guy - Snoke - and then kill him off with absolutely zero explanation of who he is or why he's important. And then re-introduce the same big bad guy from the original trilogy because they ran out of ideas.

@aaaronson @TerribleMaps

Missouri is the only US state to border the same number of states as it has letters in its name

@HKFinalThird 32 go through, then 16, 8, 4, 2.

There are 48 teams in the World Cup. 24 go through. Then 12. Then 6. Then 3. Can someone explain to me how a FINAL is supposed to work with 3 teams? 🤔

@GameStalgiaX First, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle shouldn't count because it's a rerelease. Second, Luigi's Mansion, everyone knows that.

What's the best video game from 2001?

Name a tv show that was fire from start to finish. 🔥

@StarWarsDaily_ 10. Anyone who doesn't get the man vs nature plot of the empire vs ewoks wasn't paying enough attention.

On a scale from 1-10, how would you rate The Return of the Jedi?
