Threads will let you hide spoilers in your posts
Threads is rolling out a test that will let you hide images or text that contain spoilers, according to a post from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. With the test, you’ll be able to blur content by tapping an image or highlighting text and selecting the “mark spoiler” option.
Other users can view the hidden content by tapping or clicking the spoiler. Reddit similarly lets you hide posts or comments using its “spoiler” tag, but it’s nice to see another platform adopting the feature, since it’s never fun to scroll past unexpected spoilers.
Meta spokesperson Alec Booker told The Verge that this is a “global test,” though it’s not clear how many people will gain access to it.
Spoilers will also look a bit different depending on which device you’re using. On desktop, spoilers are hidden by a gray block, but they appear behind a bunch of floating dots on mobile (which you can see in the GIF embedded above). “This feature is currently optimized for mobile, but we’re working to improve the experience for desktop,” Booker said.
USA 5-0 Trin & Tob (Jun 15, 2025) Game Analysis
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Malik Tillman scored twice as the United States built a three-goal, first-half lead and ended a four-game losing streak by routing Trinidad and Tobago 5-0 on Sunday in a Concacaf Gold Cup opener.
Tillman scored in the 16th and 41st minutes for his first two international goals, both following giveaways by Alvin Jones, and Patrick Agyemang scored his fourth international goal in the 44th.
Brenden Aaronson added his ninth goal in the 82nd and Haji Wright his fifth just 1 minute, 13 seconds later as the 16th-ranked Americans overwhelmed the No. 100 Soca Warriors and ended their longest losing streak since 2007.
Victory in the Group D opener came after days of controversy over Christian Pulisic‘s desire to rest during the Gold Cup and coach Mauricio Pochettino not including the star in a pair of pre-tournament friendlies in which the attacker offered to play.
The U.S. had 70.5% possession and a 21-3 advantage in shots against the Soca Warriors, whose 2-1 home win against the Americans in 2017 ended a streak of seven straight World Cup appearances by the U.S.
The Americans have won their group in 16 of 17 Gold Cups, along with a second-place finish behind Panama in 2011, and improved their group stage record to 41 wins, 1 loss and 5 draws. They play invited guest Saudi Arabia on Thursday in Austin, Texas, then close group play on June 22 against Haiti in Arlington, Texas.
Matthew Freese was in goal in place Matt Turner, who had started 14 consecutive competitive matches for the U.S. and 23 of 24 dating to the 2022 World Cup. The lone exception was a Gold Cup group stage game against St. Kitts and Nevis in 2023.
Missing Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Weston McKennie, Timothy Weah, Giovanni Reyna, Antonee Robinson, Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun and Sergiño Dest, the U.S. starting lineup averaged 14.8 international appearances. That was the second fewest for the Americans in a Gold Cup opener behind 9.8 against Bermuda in 2009, according to Opta.
Adams (turf toe), Johnny Cardoso and Damion Downs (both illness) didn’t dress.
Defender Tim Ream started, extending his Gold Cup span for the U.S. to 14 years and surpassing DaMarcus Beasley (2002-15) for the American high.
Trinidad, coached by former star Dwight Yorke, has lost four of its past five games.
Michael Armstrong, Emma Armstrong Share Stillbirth of Son
He went on to praise his wife, emphasizing that she carried their son “with such grace and love, singing to him each night and morning in bed.”
“She brought him into the world with fierce devotion,” he continued. “She’s been traveling through this heartbreak and physical pain with unwavering courage. She feels it all fully. I am inspired by her.”
For Emma, she is learning to accept this new reality.
“I must of spent hours every day just imagining all the things I would do with my baby and the mother I would get to be,” she shared. “We were preparing for the happiest day our life and instead we got our worst.”
“This is not a share about some silver lining or Gods plan though I have felt the divinity and love like a breath for air that desperately gasp for while I drown,” she continued. “This is me sharing my shock. For any human that has felt the ground ripped from underneath them. For any mother that has lost her baby. The shock, denial, confusion, longing, love and unbearable heartbreak of a loss like this all gets a seat at the table.”
Queen’s 2025: Dan Evans causes upset but Cameron Norrie out
Evans is looking to rebuild his ranking, having dropped from a career-high 21st in the world a couple of years ago to 199th.
Given a wildcard entry at Queen’s, the 35-year-old was handed a tough start against American Tiafoe, who reached the quarter-finals of the French Open this year.
But Tiafoe has often struggled on grass and Evans took full advantage, playing some of his best tennis in years to claim an impressive straight-set win.
Evans dropped more than 110 ranking spots last year when he opted to focus on partnering Andy Murray in the doubles at the Paris Olympics, so it was apt that this impressive display came at the arena newly named after the Scot.
The pair reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros, with the match the last of Murray’s long and illustrious career.
Asked afterwards about how much Murray has inspired his own career, Evans said: “Not just mine but the whole of British tennis.
“He always has time for everyone and it’s fitting he has an arena called after him.
“The Olympics was one of the best things I’ve done. It is something that will stick with me forever and I am immensely proud to have played with him [Murray].”
Evans started strongly against Tiafoe, fending off a break point before securing the break himself at 3-3.
Tiafoe broke back immediately when Evans overcooked his forehand and momentum appeared to swing the American’s way in a 10-minute spell where his opponent had little answer to him.
But Evans, encouraged by the vocal home crowd, dug in and battled from 5-4 down to secure a second break before closing out the set – helped on his way by coming out on top of a gruelling 37-shot rally.
The momentum was now with Evans and a five-game winning streak put him 2-0 up at the start of the second set.
Evans got a stroke of luck at 3-1 up when his forehand clipped the net cord to drop over and secure a double break.
From then on he closed out the match before receiving a standing ovation from the crowd.
“Days like today, whatever happens this week, is why I’ve been carrying on – to get out here and put my game on the court and enjoy it,” Evans added.
“I’m delighted with the win. It was probably one of my best performances I’ve ever played. I didn’t have to think too much, which has been a bit of a problem lately.”
State Department warns against travel to Israel, West Bank and Gaza
The State Department is warning against travel to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza amid the conflict between Iran and Israel.
In a travel advisory on its website, the department warned travelers not to go to Israel “due to armed conflict, terrorism, and civil unrest,” to avoid the West Bank “due to terrorism and civil unrest” and to stay away from Gaza “due to terrorism and armed conflict.”
“Terrorist groups, lone-actor terrorists and other violent extremists continue plotting possible attacks in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. Terrorists and violent extremists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and local government facilities,” the State Department said in the advisory.
“The security environment is complex and can change quickly, and violence can occur in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza without warning. Increased regional tensions can cause airlines to cancel and/or curtail flights into and out of Israel,” it added.
The conflict between Israel and Iran on Monday stretched into its fourth day, and President Trump has said “it’s possible” that the U.S. gets involved in the fighting.
“We’re not involved in it. It’s possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved,” Trump told ABC News over the weekend.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that his country was close to “eliminating the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat” from Iran.
The new conflict between Israel and Iran is also taking place as leaders from around the world, including Trump, meet in Canada for a Group of Seven (G7) summit.
Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads
Reddit is launching a new feature for advertisers that slots positive posts from Reddit users right under their ads.
The new alpha feature, called Conversation Summary Add-ons, “dynamically integrates positive content from Reddit users directly below an advertiser’s creative, putting community conversations front-and-center in the user experience and blending AI-driven efficiency with real human perspectives,” according to a post from Reddit.
As shown by Reddit, you’ll be able to scroll through the posts that appear under an ad. You’ll also see a short summary of what Reddit users are saying about the advertiser. Jackbox Games and Lucid are alpha testers of the feature.
Powering this new feature is an “engine” Reddit calls Reddit Community Intelligence. According to the company, Reddit Community Intelligence can turn the platform’s more than 22 billion posts and comments “into structured intelligence for smarter marketing decisions.”
As part of today’s announcements, which Reddit is making alongside the Cannes Lions festival, the company is also introducing a “scalable, AI-powered social listening tool” called Reddit Insights. “Informed by proprietary metadata, it provides precise, real-time insights that help marketers confidently plan campaigns, validate creative ideas, and make smarter business decisions,” Reddit says.
NBA Finals 2025 – 7 plays defining the Thunder-Pacers series
-
Zach Kram
An unexpectedly competitive, but expectedly entertaining, NBA Finals have transformed from a best-of-seven to a best-of-three, as the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder alternated wins in the first four games.
Recently, they’ve even alternated winning styles, too. The Thunder led most of Game 3, but the Pacers surged ahead with a big fourth quarter, and Oklahoma City pulled the same comeback trick in Game 4.
Through four games, the two teams are separated by just six points, and they could be headed for the first Finals Game 7 since the clash between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in 2016. In advance of a pivotal Game 5 (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC), here are seven plays that have defined the tactics and narratives of the 2025 Finals, explaining how the series reached 2-2 and where it might be headed.
— Zach Kram (@zachkram) June 16, 2025
Let’s start in Game 3, when the Pacers took one of their favorite tactics to the extreme. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander‘s pick-and-rolls have set the stage for a delightful game-within-a-game in the Finals. The Pacers harried him in Game 1, so Oklahoma City tweaked its screening tactics in Game 2, setting more picks high up the court to open space for the league MVP.
Then, Indiana responded, denying Gilgeous-Alexander the ball. If he doesn’t have possession, it doesn’t matter where the Thunder would prefer to screen for him. Through Game 2 of the Finals, Gilgeous-Alexander had brought up the ball on 61% of the Thunder’s possessions when he was on the court, according to an analysis of GeniusIQ tracking data.
But against Indiana’s intense full-court pressure in Games 3 and 4, that percentage dropped by half, as SGA brought up the ball on just 30% of the Thunder’s possessions in each game. That’s a major change of pace for Oklahoma City’s offense: Out of 342 games that Gilgeous-Alexander has played over the past five seasons, these were his second- and third-lowest percentages.
After Indiana’s first made shot of Game 3, Andrew Nembhard denied Gilgeous-Alexander the inbounds pass, preventing him from initiating Oklahoma City’s offense. And though that first possession still produced a bucket for Williams, SGA never touched the ball.
More often than not, that setup is a win for Indiana — like on this possession midway through the first quarter of Game 3, when Oklahoma City’s most talented offensive player didn’t touch the ball and an out-of-control Williams committed a turnover.
Overall, the Thunder are averaging 122 points per 100 half-court possessions in the Finals when Gilgeous-Alexander brings up the ball, versus just 107 when he’s on the court but doesn’t bring up the ball, per GeniusIQ. That’s not the whole story.
Not bringing up the ball could help Gilgeous-Alexander avoid early fatigue, setting him up for better luck in crunch time, as was the case in Game 4. But it helps illustrate why Indiana’s middling defense has slowed the Thunder, who had the No. 3 offense in the regular season.
Game 4, third quarter: OKC commits a shot clock violation
— Zach Kram (@zachkram) June 16, 2025
Facing a growing deficit in front of a frenzied Pacers crowd, Oklahoma City called a timeout to regroup. But that plan failed. After Alex Caruso brought up the ball — because of Nembhard’s continued denial of SGA in the backcourt — Isaiah Hartenstein‘s handoff was almost a turnover, then Nembhard stonewalled Gilgeous-Alexander’s attempt to isolate in the midrange.
Eventually, with the shot clock winding down, the ball deflected out of bounds, and after another deflection of the inbound pass, Indiana forced a violation.
This possession illustrates Oklahoma City’s sudden lack of offensive flow. It’s astonishing how much the Thunder have relied on tough one-on-one scoring in this series, as opposed to rhythmic playmaking as a team. The three lowest-assist games of Oklahoma City’s season are:
-
Game 4 of the Finals: 11 assists.
-
Game 1 of the Finals: 13 assists.
-
Game 3 of the Finals: 16 assists. (The Thunder had more than 16 assists in every regular-season game except Game No. 82, when they had 16 with all their starters resting.)
That’s a massive shock to OKC’s system, as the team averaged 27 assists in the regular season and 25 in the playoffs until the Finals. In Game 4, Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t have an assist for the first time in five years.
Game 4, fourth quarter: Aaron Nesmith fouls Gilgeous-Alexander
— Zach Kram (@zachkram) June 16, 2025
Though Nesmith was the Pacers’ key defender in the Eastern Conference finals, as he had the greatest success guarding the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson, Indiana prefers Nembhard to guard Gilgeous-Alexander. Nembhard has matched up against Gilgeous-Alexander on 187 possessions in the Finals, per GeniusIQ, versus 119 for the rest of the Pacers combined.
The results show why. Out of 27 defenders who have guarded SGA for at least 10 matchups this postseason, his three highest points-per-matchup figures are against non-Nembhard Pacers: Bennedict Mathurin (0.89 points per matchup), Nesmith (0.73) and Myles Turner (0.73). For comparison, Gilgeous-Alexander has scored only 0.33 points per matchup against Nembhard.
Gilgeous-Alexander is still getting his typical share of points in the Finals (32.8 points per game, versus 32.7 in the regular season), but Nembhard is making him work a lot harder for them than anyone else.
Those numbers might reflect a small sample, but down the stretch of Game 4, the Thunder geared their offense toward shifting Nesmith onto Gilgeous-Alexander instead. Oklahoma City — which typically asks its guards to set the most picks in the league — repeatedly sent Gilgeous-Alexander to screen for Williams, who was being guarded by Nesmith, to coax Indiana into a switch.
Gilgeous-Alexander set five picks for Williams in the fourth quarter of Game 4 — tied for the most in any quarter of their careers playing together, per GeniusIQ. The other time was the fourth quarter of Game 4 against the Dallas Mavericks in last year’s playoffs, another must-win game for the Thunder. They clearly trust this action in desperate moments.
Against Indiana, those five plays produced excellent results as the Thunder completed their comeback: a layup, a 3-pointer, two shooting fouls (which led to Nesmith fouling out) and an open midrange jumper that he missed. The Thunder evened the series, and Gilgeous-Alexander scored the most points in the last five minutes of a Finals game (15) since 1971.
Game 1, first quarter: Pascal Siakam makes a layup
— Zach Kram (@zachkram) June 16, 2025
Indiana’s first made field goal of the Finals showcased one advantage for the Pacers: Siakam is too big and too adept at finishing to switch a guard onto him. Cason Wallace is an excellent perimeter defender, but on this play, he couldn’t offer meaningful resistance as Indiana recognized the mismatch, cleared out one side of the court and let Siakam go to work.
Siakam, who won a title with the 2018-19 Toronto Raptors, leads the Pacers in the Finals with 18.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, and he’s contributing 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks. He’s on pace to become the 12th player this century to average 18/7/1/1 in the Finals, joining an elite list: Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan (twice), Dwyane Wade (twice), Kevin Garnett, LeBron James (three times), Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Andrew Wiggins.
But it’s Siakam’s ability to overwhelm smaller defenders on the block that has had so much impact on the Finals. It’s not just that it allows Siakam to generate easy buckets, which are rare against this historically great Thunder defense. It’s also that Siakam forced Thunder coach Mark Daigneault to change his game plan. For Game 4, Daigneault reinserted Hartenstein into the starting lineup, replacing Wallace to give the Thunder more size.
The Thunder’s double-big lineup opens holes elsewhere, though, because it reduces Oklahoma City’s speed on the floor — which is necessary when countering Indiana’s high-octane attack. The Pacers are well-rounded enough that they force trade-offs from their opponents, and Siakam, with his ability to run the floor and power through defenders at the rim, is the epitome of that strength.
Game 4, third quarter: Nembhard makes a 3-pointer
— Zach Kram (@zachkram) June 16, 2025
The Thunder allowed the most corner 3s this season, and the Pacers have taken advantage. On this play, some clever Tyrese Haliburton head and ball fakes created an open look for Nembhard. But NBA teams try to avoid helping off the strong-side corner — because this kickout pass would be easy for any guard, let alone the playoff leader in assists per game.
The Thunder are more aggressive with this sort of help than other teams. Usually, that’s to their benefit and they have the personnel to make it work, but Indiana has twisted the Thunder’s tendencies against them. The Pacers are 25-for-52 on corner 3s (48%) in the Finals, versus 27-for-87 (31%) above the break. Corner shots account for nearly half of their 3-point makes on only about a third of their attempts.
For comparison, Oklahoma City has matched Indiana with 27 above-the-break 3s, but has gone only 11-for-33 from the corners. That disparity has granted Indiana 14 more 3s overall, or 42 extra points from beyond the arc.
Indiana’s hot shooting from the corners likely won’t regress much as the Finals continue. Throughout the postseason, the Pacers are shooting 47% on corner 3s. That’s the best mark for any team (minimum 100 attempts) since the Phoenix Suns shot 48% from the corners in the 2009-10 playoffs.
Game 3, first quarter: Obi Toppin makes a layup
— Zach Kram (@zachkram) June 16, 2025
So, if the Pacers are generating some mismatches, even against the Thunder’s ferocious defense, and are feasting on corner 3s, then why is Indiana scoring just 109.8 points per 100 possessions in the Finals, after topping 116 in the previous playoff rounds?
This bucket gives a hint. It was the result of a dynamite play from Haliburton, who intercepted a pass, created a 3-on-2 fast break and tossed in a sprinkle of razzle-dazzle as he went behind the back in midair and found Toppin cutting to the hoop.
But this sequence stands out, in part, because of how absent that open-court verve, which defines Indiana’s offense, has been in these Finals.
Over the postseason, the Pacers have scored 127 points per 100 chances in transition, versus just 102 points per 100 chances in the half court, per GeniusIQ. Among teams that advanced at least one round, only the Minnesota Timberwolves had a larger gap, so it’s crucial for Indiana to run.
That’s easier said than done against Oklahoma City. Transition play has accounted for 11% of the Pacers’ chances against Oklahoma City, per GeniusIQ, versus 15% in the first three rounds and 16% in the regular season. Indiana was one of the most frequent transition teams earlier in the playoffs but has fallen to the bottom of that statistic against the Thunder.
Minnesota followed a similar pattern: The Timberwolves had an above-average transition rate in the first two rounds, but a mere 11% transition rate against the Thunder in the conference finals. That’s a big reason the Timberwolves’ offense sputtered and Oklahoma City reached the Finals, and it’s why Indiana is struggling to score more than ever.
Game 2, second quarter: Indiana loses the ball out of bounds
Preview for tomorrow’s piece, before Game 5 pic.twitter.com/CdJ3UchN0N
— Zach Kram (@zachkram) June 16, 2025
Haliburton doesn’t have the reputation of an isolation master, but his numbers tell a different story. Over the past three seasons, Haliburton leads all high-volume players with 1.16 points per isolation that leads directly to a shot, turnover or foul, per GeniusIQ. (SGA is second, 0.002 points per iso behind Haliburton.)
That effectiveness mostly continued through the conference finals. But against Oklahoma City, the Pacers have scored just 0.50 points per Haliburton isolation. It’s a small sample, but an important one, because several of Haliburton’s failed isolations came as Indiana’s offense stalled down the stretch of Game 4.
On this play from Game 2, Haliburton failed to find an opening against Chet Holmgren in space, ultimately forcing a pass that trickled out of bounds for a turnover. Haliburton has maneuvered past Holmgren for contested layups a couple of times in the series, but this early play presaged his difficulty attacking any Thunder player by himself.
While Oklahoma City and Indiana boast two of the deepest rotations in the league, this closely contested Finals might be decided in crunch time by Haliburton and Gilgeous-Alexander, and whether they can beat their man one-on-one. In Game 1, SGA missed a midrange jumper, and Haliburton took advantage with a game winner.
In Game 4, Gilgeous-Alexander tormented Nesmith down the stretch while Haliburton squandered a couple of crucial isolation opportunities, letting the Thunder back into the series and setting the stage for a furious best-of-three to finish the 2024-25 season.
Eminem’s Daughter Hailie Jade Shares Photos of Son Elliott
Among her updates was a video chronicling her growing baby bump during her pregnancy with Elliott. She captioned the May 11 post, which also included clips of her son’s first weeks of life, “Growing you has been the greatest gift of my life. Thank you for making me your mommy baby boy.”
And the family of three have a number one fan in Hailie’s father, Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers). After all, when his daughter’s first wedding anniversary fell on the same date as one of his shows, the rapper made sure to share a special shoutout onstage.
“Long time, no see, Detroit,” Eminem said in a clip shared to social media after performing with Jelly Roll. “One more time, make some noise for Jelly Roll, y’all. Hailie and Evan, happy anniversary, I love y’all.”
