I actually really like this about international football. Especially since it means players who would never get a sniff at playing for a “big” country might have a chance to play for a minnow if they have the right family background.
I’m also 51 and I get caught up in this as well, so, thanks for posting.
No! Hooray!

For years a man was controlled by a Druidic magic urn yes I am aware, I have not seen that happen in football

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
This is so fucking true

A screenshot of a post by social media page People of the Deid, which shared a photo of a calico cat with a tipped ear sitting on a chair. The cat is presumably the famous Al-Udeid Air Base Pizza Cat. The Facebook page claims the cat is being cared for by local security forces since most of the base is still evacuated due to Iranian missile strikes. (PotD Fan Share)
Pizza Cat appears to be unharmed! 🐱🍕
Social media page People of the Deid shared photos of Al-Udeid Air Base resident Pizza Cat, as well as a cat believed to be her offspring, affectionately referred to by some as 'Pepperoni.'
Local security forces have been caring for them. #Flashes
Photos of a calico cat shared by local social media page People of the Deid. The cat in the photos is presumably the offspring of local cat celebrity, Pizza Cat, and is seen being fed by local security forces.
Fans of Pizza Cat have expressed their joy, with comments like, "Literally the only time I've been happy to see someone detained by Security Forces."
People of the Deid suggested Pizza Cat may go to the U.S. if Americans do not repopulate the base eventually. Stay informed at Stripes.com. #Flashes

@mikeblack114.bsky.social I have zero idea about real world military stuff so I appreciate your account.
I live next to a gas station and I thought I was going crazy earlier when I glanced over and it was 20 cents more expensive than it had been when I got gas an hour ago

hey does anybody have any video clips that are both morally and viscerally disturbing, maybe with some audio that will stay with the listener for years? ideal if they're also a metaphor for our political age. thanks!
