@vinayaravind I’d love to send you some from here to make up for the 30% gap 😂
It’s been something else in Bombay this time. Too brutal.

[Lemma’s Animal Desk @DoctorLemma]

Arsenal, one of England’s big football clubs, just donated a pile of their players’ old socks to a horse and donkey sanctuary, and the rescued animals are now wearing them.

It works because modern football socks are footless. Players wear separate grip socks on their feet, so the long sleeves get thrown out. That shape turns out to be perfect for sliding onto an animal’s leg, where they keep flies off sore skin, hold bandages in place, and cover the leg while hooves are trimmed.

The sanctuary, the biggest of its kind in Britain, says the bright red socks have already cut down on vet visits. The donkeys have also decided they make good toys, and have taken to pulling bananas out of them.

Beautiful :)

i took a 45-minute uber ride home from the airport last night after a brutal, three-day business trip.

i was completely emotionally and physically drained, and my social battery was at absolute zero.

when i got into the car, the driver.. an older guy named kabir.. didn't say the usual "how was your flight?" or turn on the radio.

instead, he just handed me a small, laminated piece of paper attached to the back of his headrest.
it was a literal "ride menu."
it said:
1. *the silent ride* (total quiet, no pressure to talk).
2. *the therapist ride* (if you need to vent about your day, i am listening).
3. *the tourist ride* (i will tell you cool facts about the city).
4. *the radio ride* (we just listen to old jazz and coast).

i smiled, pointed to number 1, and whispered, "silent ride, please. thank you."

he gave me a warm nod in the rearview mirror, adjusted the AC, and drove the entire 45 minutes in absolute, beautiful silence.

it was the most peaceful, therapeutic boundary i’ve experienced all year. i felt my entire nervous system finally reset.

when he dropped me off, i gave him a massive tip and told him, "that menu is a genius business idea. you must get amazing reviews."

He looked back at me and said, "i didn't make the menu to get better tips, dear.

my daughter has severe social anxiety, and she told me that the hardest part of her day is navigating small talk with strangers when her brain is tired.

she told me it feels like running a marathon.

i made the card so that anyone who gets into my car can feel completely safe dropping the mask for a little while."

i walked into my apartment and just sat on my suitcase.

we live in a world that is constantly screaming at us to perform, to network, to be "on," and to over-communicate.

but sometimes, the deepest form of love and respect you can show another human being is just creating a small, safe pocket of silence for them to rest in.

pay attention to the people who give you permission to be quiet. they are rare.

He was driving an Uber to fund his AI-and-IoT startup. I was riding shotgun on the way to dinner. He asked one question I'd never been asked before, and the rest of the ride went somewhere neither of us had planned for.

Brian Cox has moved his 80th birthday party to accommodate Arsenal's #UCL final against PSG.

The Succession star sat down with @AdamCrafton_ to discuss his admiration for Mikel Arteta, Arsenal & his love of the beautiful game.

Watch the full interview next week on The Athletic.

Twenty years ago, @Microsoft broke ground on our first data center in Quincy, Washington. At a time when so many small towns have been shrinking, Quincy has grown, and the partnership behind that story is one worth telling. Watch how a farm town in Central Washington helped build the cloud, and built a thriving future of its own.

100 years ago Arsenal Football Club on the brink of never existing.

What an incredible story this is. 🔴⚪️

[Emmanuel Omasheye🇩🇪 @4pf_pixel]

Back in December we were only 2 points ahead 😭

January came and Pep added two of the best players in the league to his squad, while Arteta made no signings. We dealt with a ridiculous injury crisis, competed in four competitions, and kept playing three games in seven days multiple times.

Pep’s side lost just one league game from December to May and we still came through it all. Gunners continue to celebrate this title with passion , drink it in, we worked too hard for this. Ignore the noise ❤️🏆

Arsenal vctory song. What a song. Thank you Rihanna.🤝

[Nabil @nyhanafi]

This is a man called Danny Bassett - I don’t have a better picture of him. I didn’t even know his second name until recently.

He stood a couple of rows behind me at the Emirates. Always topless and always bringing the energy. We’d hug when we scored and shake hands and have a quick chat if we won.

Beyond that, we didn’t know each other at all, but he was part of my Arsenal experience for close to a decade.

Danny died suddenly last summer and he didn’t get to experience this season. I thought about him a lot today. I hope you enjoyed it mate. You’re missed.

[Shri @Shrinterest]

Thank you, and congratulations 🥲☮️

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

[Zac Wilson @ZACWILSON_]

I’ve never spoken about this publicly, so bear with me.

But I want to articulate why this Premier League win for Arsenal isn’t ’just football’.

In July 2025, my son was born with a rare condition called CDH. It’s a hernia that forms in the diaphragm, which means that the major organs develop in the chest cavity.

This puts extreme pressure on the development of the lungs.

We were told throughout the pregnancy that he had a 30-40% chance of survival.

We had to wait until my partner gave birth to see whether he would make it or not.

He had life saving surgery on day 5 of his life - and we endured a 2 month stay in a hospital in London.

At times we were told that he might not make it through the night - but by the grace of god, and throughout a rollercoaster of ups and downs he survived the intensive care process.

During that time was the start of the Premier League season - and the one escape that I had was Arsenal football club.

We had been at hospital for a month, and hadn’t left the hospital grounds. We were there 24/7.

I felt so guilty leaving him, but made the choice to find a local pub and watch Arsenal’s season opening game against Man United. And for that 90 minutes, I was able to escape the pain and sadness.

Watching Arsenal become the one thing that helped me escape, even for just 90 minutes over the course of those few months.

We needed a name for my boy. Something to signify strength, courage and being brave hearted. We chose Leo.

He was born on the 19th July.

Leandro (Leo - number 19) Trossard’s goal against West Ham. That historic goal. Will forever live in a lot of people’s memories forever. For me, it felt like destiny.

Leo is now thriving. And in his first season as an Arsenal fan, he’s been spoilt.

Football means so much to all of us. This football club means so much to us. It’s more than just a game.

It shapes people’s lives, their character. It’s hope, it’s escape, it’s proof that hard work pays off.

Whatever your reason is for loving this club and loving football - enjoy every single second of this joy.

This one is for you, son.

🦁
