A new lawsuit by journalist @bubbaprog.xyz reveals that the DOJ secretly searched his digital accounts for a wide range of materials. And prosecutors failed to tell the judges who signed off on it about a federal law that protects the press from search warrants… again.

Absolutely gutted about this, RIP. Amazing to watch the whole time I have been back watching wrestling and he sounded like a great guy, condolences to friends and family. Watching some of his NXT and Dragon Gate matches tonight and he's just so, so good

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

The notion "restorative accountability process" is fine but there's no clear explanation by MLS of what that means. Restorative to who? The victims? The community? Or just to his new bosses and/or the brand?

The thing about NJPW is that people just say whatever so the usual rule of "it wouldn't be mentioned if it wasn't happening" for US TV wrestling does not apply, but this would rock (also holy shit Oiwa-Yuya ripped)

That's right, it really starts the cycle of the fed refusing to get better or backsliding because they always have to respond to the existential threat (yuri mecha vn Heaven Will Be Mine had interesting things to say about this dynamic)

Was flying out of YLW in Kelowna tonight but an attendant came out to tell travellers that the airspace is closed due to the Bald Range wildfire in Summerland: "It's out of control, this fire, so I'm sorry, we're not rebooking."

This is an official FIFA statement

Screenshot of instagram post credited to gianni_infantino and fifa: "Indeed, 'arguable' referees' decisions or 'strange' disciplinary rulings such as for instance potentially mistaken red or yellow cards or subsequent decisions not to ban players in certain situations are routine and widely accepted in some of the biggest leagues worldwide.

It's curious that the same countries employing these practices are the ones criticising.

This FIFA World Cup celebrated humanity at its best."

the literal argument being advanced here is "hey do you know if you had a positive feeling about the tournament you are absolving us of every bad thing done along the way?" as if they want to remind people how much they suck

This statement is so gobsmacking. Like you'd think they would just slink off and call it a W instead of going "we've never done anything wrong, ever, and if you disagree you're a sad hater"

Torn ACL for Jordyn Huitema, who arrived in Chicago in March via $500K total transfer from Seattle. It's unfortunate news that also creates a tight timeline to the 2027 World Cup for her and Canada, too. #NWSL

Ronaldo's three-game suspension would have ran through the start of this World Cup had FIFA not decided to convert the remainder into a suspended sentence (which did suck!) But it's not correct to say he played his next game after receiving a red card, and to specify "next WC game" is meaningless
