Then we bring it back to...

Send us Fan Mail People swear they “watched the game,” but what they really watched was the internet’s opinion of the game. We kick things off by unpacking the World Cup final and the chaos that follows any major soccer match: accusations of favoritism, arguments about yellow cards and dirty play, and the endless Messi vs Ronaldo debate.

We kick off with game-night jitters and sleep debt, then dive into the AI hype-versus-reality moment that turned int...
