A moment to last a lifetime. 🏆

We’re training a generation to fear failure.

Not because they’re soft or lazy, because everything they do is on display.

Every test score, every game, every rejection lives forever online.

When life becomes performative, failure feels like a public referendum on your worth.

Bill said I should read the affidavit. And WOW it shows that everything ICE has said publicly (and Fox and Bill have dutifully regurgitated as fact) about this surgical center case was a LIE. This was not a "targeted" operation, but a racial profiling incident gone bad!

Luis Enrique's daughter Xana died in 2019 at the age of nine from a rare form of bone cancer.

In 2015, she had been on the pitch with him in Berlin celebrating Barcelona's Champions League victory.

On Saturday, when his PSG side take on Inter in this year's final, she will be with him once again, this time in spirit.

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." - Hannah Arendt

Zelensky: “Have you ever actually been to Ukraine to see the problems we have?”

JD Vance: “I've been to.... I've actually seen and watched the stories.”

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times.

But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD

I love my country, and I can’t understand the rush to tear it down. Not just its mechanics, but its identity.

Fellow academics: This is nuts. Stop doing this. It makes you look like an out-of-touch crazy person. It further erodes respect for higher ed and trust in academic research. And it’s not good for your students. https://t.co/WdwYlx7tyY

New: It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened. Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.” She's one of at least two Texas women who died under the state's abortion ban. https://t.co/NiNtKD6Jo9

“I still feel his presence. His locker was next to mine; it still is. But he’s just not there.”

I spent five days in Athens, where the sadness in the wake of George Baldock's death is profound, especially at Panathinaikos.

Tears, darkness & disbelief.
