I'm looking for movie recommendations for me to watch with my 10- and 13-year-old kiddoes. Unexpected and interesting ones. Magical ones. Movies that'll challenge tween kids to *think*. Or just joyful fun. I know the standards -- got any nonstandard recommendations?
This is a terrible idea. The current stadium is more than enough for cricket needs.
Making another massive cricket stadium in a city that already has a very decent one, just for 7 IPL games and one odd rotation international match every 3 years is a criminal waste of money.
Please make smaller mixed use facilities that support different sports, commercial activities and concerts and shows like the Ajax stadium.
Or if you have to spend it on cricket, you have 33 districts, many would love to have a decent cricket pitch.
I admit, this one made me emotional.
The line - “Nobody teaches you how painful it feels to slowly lose access to someone who once knew your inner life intimately. Someone who understood the silences before your sentences.” Hits very hard.
Amazing article.

@joybhattacharj I guess you might have checked it out already but if not, I hope you do check out the highlights of NCAA college championship basketball game between UM and UConn and notice the defensive plays.
🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”
At the atomic level, nothing ever truly touches. What we feel as ‘touch’ is our brain interpreting electromagnetic repulsion.
The object is real, the sensation is a constructed illusion.
H-1B restrictions are creating the worst possible outcome for keeping jobs in the U.S.
We’ve basically handed companies a guilt-free excuse:
“ We needed this talent, the government blocked us from bringing them here… so we had to move the jobs there.”
That’s not protecting American workers that’s accelerating offshoring.
And once competitors start doing it to survive, everyone else is forced to follow. That’s how entire industries leave.
Dear @ICC,
It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor.
Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game.
This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.
Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided.
The future is always ice, until it isn't.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association
