Been an NYCFC fan since day one. I don't think there's ever been a scenario where players debated who was taking a penalty. Am I wrong? Given how this season is going, it really is nuts that even happened.

that should legit be the last thing Talles Magno ever does in an NYCFC uniform

Really tough loss for Dominican Republic against Haiti, but at least I got to experience watching the game in a packed bar with a line out the door in Brooklyn with Dominicans and Haitian footy fans. Truly amazing, and only highlights how much CONCACAF is growing in the Caribbean. 🇩🇴🇭🇹

After giving up a 2-0 lead, Dominican Republic score a stoppage time winner against Nicaragua! Scenes in Santiago! We're going to the World Cup in 2030! 🇩🇴📈 #CONCACAF

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

I will always remember the time I went to see Pearl Jam live at Madison Square Garden with a bunch of friends. One of my friends brought his uncle, who was younger than us btw. Eddie Vedder called out the Islamophobia after 9/11, and my friend's young uncle just left the venue about 5 songs in. 🤷🏽

Thirty-four days before she reported to prison, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes gave Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim access to document her every move. That turned into a three-year project, and A24 will release the resulting documentary this October.

I can confirm that I am in Mayor Mamdani's "Private Army" of influencers, and that I have received no money for it. In that way, me and U.S. Army veterans share a lot of the same challenges.

"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."

The idea that a Comms team for ANY politician is not connecting with independent media outlets or content creators directly, is absurd. The Mayor's office is trying to get the word out to as many people as possible. YOUR outlet does not serve that purpose.

It's wild seeing stories like this and seeing up close how outright disingenuous they are. The group I'm in is just a Signal group chat, and the Mayor's team regularly posts things the Mayor is working on, and asks if anyone would like to cover it. Basically, a press release for content creators.

Don't let Mike Vrabel bringing a cute dog to a press conference to deflect attention away from him cheating on his wife with NFL reporter Diana Russini, who was also cheating on her husband, distract you from the fact that LEBRON JAMES HAS JOINED THE PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. Holy cow!

Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. They are demanding immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!
