Two years ago I started building event series to connect black people working in tech and media. Working with close friends made its growth possible. @AfroTech highlighted some of our story here: afrotech.com/industry-link-b…

Hegseth: Nobody makes better or more munitions than the US.
Brennan: But there is a crisis with those stockpiles right now.
Hegseth: That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle.
Brennan: You testified under oath that it would take years to rebuild those stockpiles.

I know it feels like we’re having a big sleepover with the entire world and will come to an end one day soon, but watching Americans dancing with the Algerians and the Scottish at our bbqs and so forth and so on….. this is the world and the America I wanna live in all the time.

This tournament is making me a little snobby but this is all facts what can I say 🤷🏿♂️
One of the most incredible aspects of the World Cup in the United States is what we DIDN’T have to do to prepare for it.
Qatar built multiple brand new stadiums, a metro system, roads, hotels, and entire districts.
South Africa built new stadiums, parking, etc.
Brazil spent billions on stadium and transit projects.
Russia built and rebuilt venues across the country.
Meanwhile, the U.S. was like: “We’re good.”
Like, we modified the playing surface in some stadiums and that was it.
The sport venue infrastructure in the US mogs every other country on earth and it’s not even close.

Fun part of this World Cup is learning about all these specific ethnic enclaves in the US, every game has some cut that’s like “and here’s the famed Curaçaoan community in Wilmington, Delaware” and it’s some random bar with like 450,000 people

True, but it doesn’t make those issues any less important

It’s been one weekend but so far the World Cup is following the pattern of every previous World Cup and Olympics: tons of negative stories about infrastructure, costs, people not buying tickets etc and then it starts and it’s amazing

The Knicks winning a championship while the World Cup cultural exchange is happening might be the legitimate antidote to the individualistic nihilism that’s poisoned so much of our country for the last decade or so
People want community. They want whimsy. It’s fun to have fun

It’s the single greatest cultural sporting event on earth.
It’s easy to be snobby and say “As if you didn’t know” etc etc but I’m just glad so many people in the US are having their horizons broadened by the different countries and fans descending on their cities. It’s class.
