2b nier automata is literally the funniest protagonist of all time because since her design is so sexualized tons of people flooded to the game to look at big anime ass only for her in the very first second of gameplay, before you've even seen the characters, go "why are we here. just to suffer? god, im so fucking sad" then because nier automata sold so well, due to it being fucking fantastic and the aforementioned anime ass, every gacha under the sun went "oh shit can we have collab with 2b please please please" and yoko taro (i assume) was like "yeah sure" so now she's in like 20 games surrounded by anime thotties going "uwaaah i really hope commander-san notices how short my skirt is!" and she's in the background going [image shows head of 2b pasted onto someone speaking, with text being] "I have never enjoyed living in the world."

The source and other Pakistani officials interviewed for this article spoke on condition ⁠of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly. "Pakistan wasn't anticipating that the tensions will rise so suddenly," said Muhammad Amir Rana, a Pakistani security analyst. Pakistan's frustration appears rooted in growing concerns that Houthi ​involvement may be more likely to draw Pakistan into the conflict than the Iranian missile strikes were earlier this year. Pakistani soldiers are deployed near the Saudi border with Yemen, two Pakistani officials said, increasing ​their direct exposure. There are also concerns in Islamabad that a Houthi-led escalation could disrupt shipping in the Red Sea, an important trade route that Pakistan and many other countries depend on. A widening conflict there could be more difficult to contain and could target Saudi interests in a way that forces Pakistan to intervene militarily under the terms of its mutual defence pact.

“We’re beating our heads against the wall,” Ryan said. “I hate to see the Democratic Party be where it is right now: hog-tied by a bunch of fringe interests that have moved them away from Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and into this realm of really extreme politics that don’t connect with anybody’s day-to-day economic situation.”
"Let's run the same exercise on the otherside: When I say the words "Democrat" or "Democratic Party," what comes to mind?" Stephen: Generally speaking, reactionaries.

FIFA will formally discuss lifting the ban on all Russian teams after the International Olympic Committee urged all sports to end war-related sanctions, Sky News can reveal. No Russian teams have played in international competitions since they were banned by FIFA and UEFA after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. But now the IOC has ended the suspension on Russia's Olympic Committee and told international sports federations today, clearing the path for a Russian team at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The IOC has dropped recommendations to ban Russian teams from competing in events. World football’s governing body told Sky News: "FIFA has been made aware of the decision taken by the IOC to provisionally lift the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee. "FIFA will analyse the decision before deciding on next steps in coordination with the relevant stakeholders." Russia has been banned from qualifying for the 2022 and 2026 men’s World Cups and the 2023 Women's World Cup. The sanctions were because teams in Europe were refusing to play against Russian opponents. But FIFA President Gianni Infantino told Sky News in February that "we have to" look at restoring Russian teams. He added: "This ban has not achieved anything, it has just created more frustration and hatred." FIFA has already agreed to allow Russia’s under-15s boys' team to compete at a youth World Cup in October which will be staged in Azerbaijan. UEFA abandoned plans to bring back Russian youth teams in 2023 after a backlash within Europe. The IOC leaves it to every sport to make their own call on bringing back Russian teams. The Olympics organisers said: "The decision on whether to host events and sports competitions in Russia, to invite Russian government or state officials to competitions, or to allow the display of the Russian flag, anthem, colours or any other identifications, is at the discretion of

Campbell Robertson July 4, 2026, 7:57 p.m. ET The U.S. Secret Service said in a statement that it has suspended checkpoint operations on the National Mall because of rapidly deteriorating weather conditions. “Attendees already within the secure area are being directed to designated shelter locations by Secret Service personnel, U.S. Park Police and the event staff,” the statement said. “ No one is being admitted at this time. This action was taken solely in the interest of public safety, and we have no estimate for when screening may resume.” Clarence Williams July 4, 2026, 7:52 p.m. ET Federal and local officials scrambled to safely evacuate thousands of people from the National Mall and into nearby Smithsonian museums and federal buildings, according to multiple officials. Aishvarya Kavi July 4, 2026, 7:46 p.m. ET It is a chaotic scene on the National Mall. Several hundred people have refused to leave despite an order to evacuate because of severe inclement weather that is approaching. Some are even arguing with Secret Service agents. At one point, a crowd of people began running back toward the stage. An officer is sternly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing. Many have begun chanting “U.S.A., U.S.A.” A federal law enforcement officer is trying to assure people that the event has not been canceled. Many are not convinced. One man walking by blamed the situation on “liberals in the weather service,” adding, “I think this is baloney.”
