A Republican-led U.S. House Judiciary Committee report from February 3, 2026, claims the European Commission held over 100 closed-door meetings since 2020 to push social media platforms into tightening content moderation before elections in seven countries, including Romania, Slovakia, and France. It alleges the pressure under the Digital Services Act aimed to demote conservative or populist views on migration, gender, and EU policies. EU officials reject the accusations as nonsense, saying the DSA combats illegal content and election risks while protecting users and democracies. The report has fueled calls in Romania for snap elections after the court's annulment and rescheduled vote.

Key Takeaway

Populist Călin Georgescu stunned Romania by leading the first round with 22% of the vote on November 24, 2024—only for the court to annul it over alleged Russian interference.

Frank Ilett, aka The United Strand, has grown out his hair since October 5, 2024, vowing no trim until United notch five straight wins across competitions—nearly 500 days and 1.5 million Instagram followers later. Wolves forward Cunha joined Ilett's podcast to say the stunt doesn't motivate opponents, prioritizing points over the gimmick. United's Wayne Rooney called it a sideshow, manager Michael Carrick admitted it amuses him but stays out of team talks, and fans remain divided between embracing the humor and seeing it as clout-chasing amid the club's inconsistency.

Key Takeaway

Matheus Cunha cut straight to the chase on a Manchester United fan's podcast: he's chasing 15 points from five wins, not some guy's overgrown hair.

Turkish user @spideymsn posted the comparison on February 13 to mock Hollywood's 'intelligence,' comparing Pitt's fair-haired Achilles to a Fayum Oasis mummy portrait from 1st-3rd century CE—over 1,000 years after the Trojan War around 1200 BCE. Homer's Iliad describes Achilles with xanthos hair, meaning blond or golden, and DNA shows Mycenaean Greeks as olive-skinned Mediterraneans with some fair-haired traits from northern influences. Critics highlighted the mismatch, noting Fayum portraits depict diverse locals in Roman Egypt, while the debate mixes nationalists, historians, and calls for historical nuance over modern culture clashes.

Key Takeaway

A side-by-side image pitting Brad Pitt's blond Achilles from Troy against a dark-skinned ancient portrait has people fired up. Turns out, that portrait is a Roman-era Egyptian mummy, not a Bronze Age Greek warrior.

On February 8, 2026, Erling Haaland's stoppage-time penalty gave Manchester City a 2-1 comeback win at Anfield, Liverpool's first home loss to them since 2015, dropping Arne Slot's side to sixth with 39 points from 25 games. The nostalgic clip from March 10, 2024—a 1-1 thriller—showcased Klopp's high-pressing game, with Alexis Mac Allister's penalty equalizing Bernardo Silva's opener amid chances from Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, and masterful midfield work by Wataru Endo. Fans praised the electric intensity and Díaz's work rate, contrasting it with Slot's more cautious approach that has left Anfield quieter and the title defense struggling, with just one league win in 2026.

Key Takeaway

A video from last year's intense Anfield draw against Manchester City brought back memories of Liverpool's relentless style under Jürgen Klopp—just days after a painful home defeat to the same team.

A viral clip from Manchester United's 2-1 defeat at West Ham on October 27, 2024, shows Dalot blazing over from a Bruno Fernandes through ball, a blunder that ramped up pressure leading to Ten Hag's sacking days later. Fans darkly humor that the miss also doomed Amorim, fired in January 2026, though some defend Dalot's smart runs. Now steady under interim boss Michael Carrick—with new signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha to sharpen finishing—United head to the London Stadium on a three-win streak, aiming to bury the memory.

Key Takeaway

Diogo Dalot's shank from six yards out in last year's West Ham loss feels like a ghost returning tonight. Fans joke it cost Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim their jobs.
