Let's normalize wearing special clothes to the gym, and then wearing other types of clothes when not at the gym

Acrobat Reader: This PDF is 2 pages long. That seems like a lot for you. Would you like AI to summarize that for you?

I'd be conflicted if I was memorialized as "the one without the beard"
Mobile News notification that Frank Beard, ZZ top's drummer and the band's only member without a beard, died at 77

My satisfaction is that this is Trump's first World Cup game he has to watch

One of those games where there's more fouls than shots

I think Adidas is clearly the winner of this game

Fox Sports WC commentary just seems like they're filling time instead of narrating the game. "Lamine Yamal is 14 years younger than the guy defending him" "Messi doesn't have to leave the U.S. after this game because he plays for Miami"

Just check the expected goals (xG) and that's helpful

I applaud the French player’s work life balance. If they make you come in on a weekend you half-ass it, that’s right

Losing sleep because Modern Family was a mockumentary but never acknowledged - or explained - the camera crew filming the family

🇦🇷 in the last two games was like someone painting themselves into a corner of a room and somehow pulling off a standing long jump to exit the room over the wet paint

Funny he confirmed her gender and got her credentials and qualifications to determine she was a DEI hire, while double checking the sexual orientation of 2 flight attendants, and reviewed the passports and documents for nearly all passengers

The World Cup is about to end, but male self-confidence never will. My latest @today.yougov.com newsletter: yougovamerica.substack.com/p/could-you-...
A split bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "41% of adult men under 30 think they would definitely or probably score a World Cup penalty kick."

The chart has the sub-headline: "If you took a penalty kick in a FIFA World Cup match, how likely do you think it is that you would score? (%)."

The chart has the note: "Note: Responses of "not sure" are not shown."

Between this and the goal (correctly) being waived off, Norway will be fuming if they lose

Lots of supposedly great teams almost not winning. Does this happen a lot in the World Cup? Is it intentional to create drama?
