I’ll get to Argentina later, but this is ALL about Cape Verde - despite the elimination.
One of the best, most bizarre, utterly jaw-dropping World Cup campaigns I’ve ever seen. And it came from the smallest nation to ever play the competition.

Brad Reese, grandson of the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, calls out The Hershey Co. for “quietly replacing” the ingredients in the candy:
“My grandfather built REESE’S on a simple, enduring architecture: Milk Chocolate + Peanut Butter. Not a flavor idea. Not a marketing construct. A real, tangible product identity that consumers have trusted for a century.
But today, REESE'S identity is being rewritten, not by storytellers, but by formulation decisions that replace Milk Chocolate with compound coatings and Peanut Butter with peanut‑butter‑style crèmes across multiple REESE’S products.”
Omaha set a record high on Wednesday. The temperature hit 67°, which is a record high for January 7. The previous record was 65° set in 2003.
This is Omaha's warmest temperature since November 15, when it was 69°.
When a rancher needed a little extra help, our deputies were happy to step in. 🐄🚓
Deputies assisted with briefly closing a portion of Highway 36 earlier today so that a herd of cattle could cross safely. It’s all part of serving the community, sometimes that means lights and sirens, and sometimes it means lending a hand (and a little patience).
Thank you to drivers who slowed down and gave everyone the space needed to get the job done safely.

I know that the VIPs on Squid Game were intentionally there to make us feel uncomfortable but I didn’t expect it to be that painful to watch. It’s cringey and horrible acting in one.
