awww, thank you, Billie… I remember practicing for hours with you in that Florida sun! You returned the favor by practicing with me during Wimbledon the year I won it. This is what friends do.❤️
An 88-year-old man sees his 53-year-old son with Down syndrome for the first time after they spent a week separated. The connection between them is everything ❤️
This man is a hero in America, standing up against the fascist dictatorship of the free press as billionaires do the bidding of the administration to silence dissent. We all need to be like Scott Pelly and call out bullshit when we see it.

The young goat that lost its mother in a wolf attack in Sivas and was rejected by the rest of the herd started going to sleep with the shepherd dogs every night so it wouldn’t be alone
I stand with Katie.
5 incidents in 5 days. I left the court with 2 stitches and a bruised knee. Thankfully, it wasn’t worse.
Do we really have to wait until a player is seriously injured before these courtside boards are removed?
Player safety must come first.

Jamie Lee Curtis explains why Timothée Chalamet’s comments about ballet and opera rubbed her the wrong way:
“My daughter has been a dancer her whole life — my daughter teaches dance and has a dance academy — so his comments are silly, and I'm sorry that they’re going to be a bit of his legacy now. I'm sure he regrets the comment because you can't throw those art forms under a bus. You can't do it. They're too important. Does that mean that there's not a reduction in audiences for those art forms? I'm sure there is. Does that mean it's going to be the destruction of those art forms? No.” https://t.co/jSrFPxxouk
Freddie Mercury once told Mary Austin in his will, “If things had been different, you would have been my wife, and this would have been yours anyway.” It was his way of acknowledging a bond that had shaped his entire life.
Mary first met Freddie in 1970, when she was a 19-year-old art student. They moved in together before fame ever entered the picture. Their romantic relationship ended when Freddie came to understand his sexuality, but the depth of their connection never faded. “Our love affair ended in tears,” Freddie admitted, “but out of that grew a bond no one can ever take away. It’s unreachable. All my lovers ask why they can’t replace her, but it’s simply impossible.”
When Freddie died in 1991, he left Mary half of all future earnings. His parents received 25%, and his sister the remaining 25%. After his parents passed, Mary’s share rose to 75%. He also left her his 28-room West London mansion—worth $37 million—as well as most of his $17 million fortune, including his art collection and Louis XV furnishings.
Perhaps the most intimate of all: Mary became the guardian of Freddie’s ashes. After his cremation, she quietly scattered them in a place only she knows. She has never revealed the location, ensuring that Freddie’s final resting place remains a secret forever.
There is something deeply poetic about that.
Love isn’t strictly romantic, physical, or defined by gender. True love often exists outside those boundaries.
What Freddie and Mary shared was that kind of love. They began as friends, became lovers, and ultimately remained soul-deep companions whose connection endured through every heartbreak, every triumph, and every chapter of their lives. Their love was built on trust, history, and an affection that felt almost otherworldly—proof that friendship can be one of the purest forms of love there is.
