In December 2007, a Barcelona newspaper ran a charity raffle to pick a local baby for a UNICEF calendar shoot.
The winning family brought their 5-month-old son.
The 20-year-old Barca player assigned to bathe him was Lionel Messi.
The baby was Lamine Yamal.
Nobody thought about the photo for 15 years.
Then the baby debuted for Barcelona at 15. Won the Euros at 16 while still doing homework. Took over Messi's number 10 shirt.
On Sunday they meet in the World Cup Final.
Messi is 39. It's likely his last one.
Yamal turned 19 two days ago. It's his first.
The baby Messi held in his hands is now trying to take the trophy out of them.
One of the most jarring things about adulthood is the realization of how many truly incompetent people are in the most important jobs. When I was a kid, I just assumed everyone “important” was smart or they wouldn’t be important. Boy, was that fucking wrong.

The Hunts Bay Police have released composite sketches of three individuals believed to be connected to a case of robbery with aggravation that occurred along Atlantic Boulevard, Kingston 11, on Saturday, June 27.
According to police reports, at about 10:00 p.m., a ride-share driver operating a Toyota Probox responded to a service request along Chesterfield Drive. Three individuals, two men and one woman boarded the vehicle and asked to be taken to the Duhaney Park area.
While travelling along Atlantic Boulevard, another motor vehicle suddenly stopped in front of the Probox, blocking the roadway. The two male passengers then allegedly pulled handguns and robbed the driver of the Toyota Probox, of a black Samsung cellular phone, JMD$15,300 in cash, and his wallet containing personal documents and bank cards. Both vehicles reportedly fled the scene together in the direction of Seaview Gardens.

@Alibaab77432510@NationwideRadio Is it ganja, or cocain and other imported hard drugs that are destroying many of the young people?
It's not only in Jamaica.
I agree with President Trump going after the drugs traffickers
“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.
