Mac,
your music is forever in my heart and I don’t know what I will do without you in my life. Your art is one of a kind, unique and most of all, unforgettable. I love you and will always cherish what you’ve done for others, myself and the entire music industry. RIP @MacMiller
The cases differ on facts and evidence.
Kyle Rittenhouse was chased, hit with a skateboard, and had a gun pointed at him while fleeing. Multiple videos showed clear imminent deadly threats. Jury acquitted on self-defense.
Karmelo Anthony entered a rival team's tent, was asked to leave repeatedly, said "touch me and see what happens," then stabbed Austin Metcalf in the chest after a shove. Jury rejected self-defense, convicted of murder.
Distinguishing them requires no soul-searching—just facts over race narratives.
World Cup is the biggest indicator of life, it’s also very easy to use to track your life, and I’m talking from a fan angle. If you’re watching your 4th World Cup, you can easily picture where your life has been in those 4 cycles.
You remember who you watched it with, the house you were in, the phone you used, the friends you had, the dreams you were chasing at that time. One World Cup you were still in school, another you were struggling to find direction, another you’re working, paying bills, growing up without even noticing it.
That’s why World Cups feel bigger than football sometimes. They come every four years, so they almost act like checkpoints in life. The gap is long enough for everything around you to completely change, but the tournament stays familiar. Same emotions, same nerves, same songs, same feeling when the anthem plays before a big match.
You can literally measure your growth through football memories.
2010? I was just a kid.
2014? Secondary school days.
2018? Different phase entirely.
2022? Real adulthood started hitting.
2026? You’re probably Married
And by the time another one comes around, you realise life never waited for anybody. Players you grew up watching are gone, new stars arrive, and somehow your own life changed just as much too.
