There have been over 5 million total 18-game spans by players in MLB's modern era.
In none of them did a player have as many hits, doubles, triples, homers & steals as the @Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong over his last 18 games:
34 hits
5 doubles
2 triples
9 home runs
6 stolen bases
Ukraine has just done something astonishing.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has just launched TrophyLab - essentially making access to all captured Russian weapon technologies free for foreign governments, research institutions and the defence industry.
They will even send physical hardware to allies for examination and to rip it apart to discover Russian military secrets. As well as technical specifications, blueprints and research results.
The website includes listings for armoured vehicles, missiles, aircraft, UAVs, EW assets, UGVs, cruise missiles etc.
Governments usually want to keep this kind of captured tech a secret for its own advantage. Ukraine has decided to make it (relatively, I think) open access for the benefit of the West.
BREAKING: Iran has suspended its entire 60-day negotiation period with the US over the direct violation of the MOU's first clause, with Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon constituting a breach less than 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed, per Fars and Al-Mayadeen.
Iran's negotiating delegation had already been preparing to depart for Switzerland to launch the first round of talks before Iran made the decision to suspend the entire trip.
Iran will also not unilaterally fulfill its commitments, and until Iran is fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the US has practically adhered to the first-clause obligations, talks remain cancelled.

Each of his 14 June XBH:
MACRON: Americans tried to negotiate with Russia. What was the result of those efforts? Nothing.
We Europeans also tried to negotiate with Russia. What happened? Nothing.
Zelenskyy also said, "I’m ready to negotiate with Russia." What did Putin say? "No."
So, President Trump, just like all the G7 members, agreed that Russia has shown no serious willingness to engage in peace negotiations.
We all agreed to increase our support for Ukraine. We all stated that we would increase pressure on Russia, and we all agreed to remain steadfast on this path.
This represents real change compared to the last few months, not just from Europe, but from all G7 members and all those who support Ukraine.
Australian World Cup fans were caught chanting:
“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”
The tournament is barely underway and the chants are already in midseason form. 💀
