Huge thanks to @jeffdalessio and the @news_gazette for giving me the platform to thank one of my favorite @Illinois_Alma professors AND vent about the legendary Tandy TRS-80. I swear I still have one in my mom's attic.

Really enjoying the UI-150 project: https://t.co/TGDA7SJIOD

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

🗣️ Josh Kroenke: “Mikel Arteta was looking at an NFL game & he goes, ‘every play is choreographed, every play is a set-piece’. I took him to a hockey game, he said ‘they form triangles everywhere, we have to get down there, I’d love to meet the coach’. He wants to apply it.” 🕵️‍♂️🏈

This is one of the most impressive laps I’ve ever seen around IMS. Nothing but respect for @FRosenqvist on this one. Earned that one the hard way. Congrats to him, his family and @MeyerShankRac!

[Chris Jenkins @ByChrisJenkins]

More than anything, why they won. @Arsenal

@ESPNMcGee @MartySmithESPN Believe a @Mizzou alum has won both Weenie 500s?

@401Casey Place I used to live was top-3, place I live now was top-8. Love them both. Well done!

Big read on how Arteta turned Arsenal from a joke into champions

- almost quit in 2020
- the meeting that changed everything
- couldn’t buy title players so realised need to develop one
- frustration at an Arsenal where too many players didn’t care

As you watch Aaron Rai in the PGA Championship, you might notice he uses iron covers for his clubs and wears two gloves — two habits often viewed as golf faux pas. But both are actually inspiring.

Rai grew up in a working-class family in England, where his father sacrificed heavily to support his golf career. When Aaron got an expensive set of irons as a kid, his dad would clean every groove with a pin and baby oil after practice because the clubs meant that much to them. The iron covers became a reminder to appreciate what you have.

And the two gloves? Rai started wearing them as a kid during cold-weather golf in England and eventually became so comfortable with the feel that he never stopped.

Not gimmicks. Just gratitude… and comfort.

@aseligmanap So sorry to hear this, Andy. You have done great work there.

@SydFryer To tweak a cliche, ignore criticism from anyone you wouldn’t go to for advice. You’ve already contributed more to society than the yahoos in the comments - and you’re just getting started. Congrats, BTW!

I’ve never laughed harder and more often than I did in my #TeamAP days at racetracks around the country. But that was a long time ago, and things change. There is indeed life after AP, and Jenna will thrive in whatever she does next.

Change is hard. Why I left The Associated Press after 30 years:
