And while Iโ€™m here, the top 5 countries in terms of beatboxing output and impact are France, USA, Korea, Japan, and Germany / UK depending on the year

For those who are curious, geographic footprint is also a big contributor. French beatboxers spend far more time with each other because of their proximity

In the beatbox world, people wonder why USA, the historic home of hip hop, is barely keeping pace with France in terms of talent and output. State funding for the arts is a massive reason

The comment has long been that Mourinho's football belongs to the past

Well, his comments on this do to

A lot of what he said was astounding given how well versed he's supposed to be... but the most offensively bizarre was the Eusebio bit

Royals owner admits โ€œurgencyโ€ in stadium deal is fear of missing out on taxpayer money Speaking of deadlines,ย Kansas City Royals owner John Sherman hasn't set any for his long-running campaign for a new baseball stadium somewhere in or around the K.C. area, but he still surely knows tha...

Royals owner John Sherman appears to be admitting that the urgency is all on his end: Any stadium offer on the table from KCMO may not be there forever, and he'd better grab it before city officials realize what leverage they have.

this is the entire story on "prediction markets"

they are sports gambling companies. they run platforms where people gamble on sports. their revenues come from getting a cut of sports gambling bets. everything else is just window dressing.

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congressโ€™s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

Reported stories are generally very accurate sources of specific information and opinion columns are completely down to the individual writer whether or not to lie outrageously all the time

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Now from a Pats fan perspective... what a fun year! Even with the SB loss, that was pretty awesome. Way ahead of schedule. I feel good about this team for years with Drake Maye, even though he'll need to be better against good defenses. I have faith in him and in the young OL getting better.
