🇺🇦 A 10-year-old Ukrainian gymnast who lost her leg in a Russian strike has performed in Times Square
Oleksandra Paskal lost her leg in a Russian bombing in 2022, but never gave up on gymnastics.
She performed her "Dance of Freedom" in New York's Times Square and is now embarking on a world tour across five continents to raise awareness about Russia's war against Ukraine and the resilience of Ukrainian children.
🇪🇸 The embrace between Spain's three goalkeepers says everything about this team. That's the reason they're champions.
Joan García was the best goalkeeper in La Liga. David Raya won the Premier League with Arsenal and reached the Champions League final. Unai Simón brought the experience.
Different journeys, one goal. In the end, all that mattered was winning together.

😱 JUST IN: Trump’s humiliating “Emergency Primetime National Address” Thursday was an all-time pathetic epic fail dripping with 25+ BONAFIDE FACT-CHECKED LIES.
Hyped as a bombshell on election fraud, Desperate Don delivered a cornucopia of fake news and distortions, while babbling through the same old recycled 2020 fraud conspiracies that lost in 61 court cases.
He delivered no shocker. Just chaos from a flailing president scared shitless of losing the midterms and being impeached.
Networks largely skipped it live.
Ratings were dismal.
America tuned out the con man.
He’s not saving democracy — he’s torching it one lie at a time. The only thing (mildly) shocking was how thoroughly he embarrassed himself.
Not how this works. The Constitution is clear: the states control elections. They're going to do everything they can to mess with the election because they've got nothing but a shitty record to run on.
🇪🇸🇦🇷 Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte: Argentina plays dirty and keeps getting away with it
"It's true that in recent matches we've seen things that have surprised us greatly, especially with Argentina, who are always allowed to get away with a lot of fouls.
And in football, I don't think that should be allowed, especially in such big competitions, because it can disrupt the flow of the game, it can infuriate you, and I think that's part of a referee's job: to control these things and not let them get the better of the referee."

The guy who replaced Kristi Noem is threatening to arrest election officials who refuse to hand over voter data to help Trump rig the election.
Putin must be so proud.
👀🇦🇷 Después de decir que esta vez el arbitraje no influyó, me pidieron revisar el partido con detalle y encontré esto.
Enzo Fernández, autor del gol del empate de Argentina, no debió terminar el encuentro.
Al minuto 3 lanzó un codazo en la nuca a un jugador inglés, sin ninguna posibilidad de disputar el balón. Si se hubiera aplicado el mismo rigor arbitral que vimos contra Suiza y Egipto, esa acción perfectamente pudo terminar en expulsión. Pero no solo no fue roja… ni siquiera fue amarilla.
Minutos después, el mismo Enzo cortó un contragolpe de Inglaterra con una zancadilla al borde del área. ¿La sanción? Tampoco hubo amarilla.
Desde el primer tiempo, Enzo debió estar expulsado. Si una acción así hubiera sido contra Messi, difícilmente el infractor se salvaría.
Por cierto, guarden el video porque la FIFA los anda borrando.
You see, what fascinates me about “remember to not smile” is that he needs his pain to be witnessed. He suffers at 4am, okay, fine, many people suffer. But then, immediately, he makes a slide! He gathers the entire company! He writes an article! Is it not clear what is happening here? Suffering without an audience simply does not count. This is ideology at its purest.
We see here the old Protestant trick in its Silicon Valley form: success alone is vulgar, almost pornographic. My god, you cannot simply succeed. It must first be purified through unnecessary suffering. So you get this obscene reversal where pain stops being a cost of the product, and instead becomes the product itself. The developer documentation is, how do you say, merely the byproduct, the excrement of the true production, which is the suffering. As Hegel already knew, and here I think even Lacan would agree, although perhaps not, the true obsession is always with deserving success.
Here I must tell you this old joke from Soviet Union. A worker says: "we pretend to work, they pretend to pay us.” Now here it is inverted, which I claim is much worse. They are paid perfectly well, wonderfully well, and so they must pretend to suffer. Do you see the perfect madness of this?
And now, the ultimate obscenity. Imagine the company succeeds while everyone leaves at 5pm. Catastrophe! Total ontological catastrophe! In this worldview, I am tempted to say, failure would almost come as a relief. Failure means you simply did not suffer enough, go back, suffer more. But success at 5pm? This cannot be explained.
So when he says "remember to not smile," this is a desperate command of the superego. If you smile, we will all discover the pain was never necessary.
