I don't watch much sport, since the sphere turned into which wealthy little man with the tiny hat can purchase the most skilled third-world talent - but when I come across figures like Haaland, fighting for his true homeland, I understand what sport once was, and should be.
Impossible to dislike the guy - disciplined, modest and humble yet with a killer-instinct he knows exactly when to engage, psychologically balanced and mature at such a young age, well raised and well oriented, and such an exceptional talent.
Well deserved win.. Norway must be an enjoyable place to be, about now.
Just met our new neighbors.
I found out OUR house, the one we had on the market for a year without a single showing, was the one they really wanted, and they were prepared to pay our full asking price, but it came off the market two weeks before they looked at this area.

PSA for people with kids here.
I highly recommend having each of your kids make an app or product with Claude.
I have both my 10 year old and 6 year old using Claude (with my support) to build an idea they each had.
My 10 year old is building a mobile app game that lets you design custom outfits and compete with friends on who made the best oens and my 6 year old is making a competitive hula hoop game that is inspired by the structure of mortal kombat.
We work on them during the weekend and we plan to publish both to the app store when they are ready.
Highly recommend doing this.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created by Hokusai in 1831, is one of the world's most famous paintings.
But why are there more than 100 different versions of it in galleries all around the world?
Because it isn't actually a painting...
As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
And my other assignment from vgr is 100 opinions on mainstream parenting, whether anyone likes this or not :-). I probably can’t do them all in one sitting, but I’ll start anyway.
Conservative Twitter is all over this.
I highly recommend reading the quote tweets for a deeper understanding of how many in America view SF, the left, etc.

@patio11 Thank you Patrick, https://t.co/li5raC7Kj4 helped reduce the chaos and helped my friends and family get access to vaccines. It made a huge difference to us.
Today Is the day I tell my son that I’m dying from cancer. It’s reached a point where he has to hear it from me. Let all my tears flow now so that I can be brave this afternoon. Let me howl with grief now so that I can comfort him.
