No ha empezado el Mundial y Noruega ya tiene las 3 mejores fotos de equipo.
La primera antes de viajar, disfrazados de vikingos.
La segunda, su foto oficial, con la camiseta de Noruega, todos perfectamente alineados.
La tercera, ahora, todos los jugadores con las camisetas de su primer club.
Qué grandes los vikingos.
Desumano!!!😢
Que país é esse em que quem mais precisa de apoio do Estado é deixado para trás?
É dessa forma que age o INSS no Governo Lula.
Quem puder, entre no Instagram dele, compartilhe sua história e ajude com uma indicação ou oportunidade de trabalho.

🚨 A man tried to stop Knicks fans from tearing down a Manhattan bus stop sign and got jumped for it.
Video shows him yelling, “You’re f***ing up the city for no reason,” before multiple people rushed him.
21 people were taken into custody after the chaos.
Absolutely pathetic behavior.

There are cat therapy centers in Japan.
If you're tired of life, things aren't going well for you, and it feels like life is coming down on top of you, you can visit these centers.
Here, cats spend time with you, helping to reduce your stress, lift your mood, and restore your energy.
Honestly, it wouldn't be a bad thing if these therapy centers spread all around the world 🐱❤️😹
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
A vítima verdadeira foi esquecida e a partícipe, coautora com dolo eventual, foi transformada em vítima da sociedade e do patriarcado. A juíza, militante de esquerda, criou um perdão por perspectiva de gênero em que a mulher acusada, ainda que tenha participado omissivamente do assassinato do próprio filho, foi tratada como vítima do patriarcado e da misoginia. Chegamos a esse ponto…
🇳🇿🔥 É simplesmente surreal o que está acontecendo com Tim Payne, jogador da Nova Zelândia.
O influenciador argentino “El Scarso” decidiu procurar quem era o jogador “menos famoso” entre todos os convocados para a Copa do Mundo. Depois de analisar seleção por seleção, encontrou Tim Payne: lateral neozelandês com cerca de 4,7 mil seguidores no Instagram e fotos que mal passavam de 200 curtidas.
Então começou a campanha: seguir o jogador, lotar suas fotos de comentários e transformar Payne em um símbolo da Copa, independentemente da nacionalidade. O movimento viralizou de forma absurda. Em menos de 48 horas, Tim Payne saltou de menos de 5 mil seguidores para mais de 1 milhão.
O próprio jogador ficou sem entender nada quando começou a receber notificações do mundo inteiro. Depois, gravou um vídeo agradecendo em espanhol:
“Muchas gracias, hermano.” ❤️
A internet adotou o cara. Já tem música, meme, figurinha do álbum virando item de coleção e gente prometendo torcer pela Nova Zelândia só por causa dele. 🫡
Mexico paid $20 million for eight minutes in this movie. Then those eight minutes forced them to invent an entire cultural tradition.
Before Spectre, Mexico City had no Day of the Dead parade. The holiday was celebrated at home, at cemeteries, with family altars. Quiet, intimate, centuries old. Sam Mendes fabricated a massive street parade for the opening sequence, shot it with 1,500 extras in skeleton costumes across the Zócalo, and audiences worldwide assumed they were watching a real annual event.
Mexico's government had negotiated hard for the placement. Leaked Sony hack emails showed officials offered up to $20 million in tax incentives for four minutes of positive portrayal. Sony was drowning in a $300 million budget. The deal included script changes: the Bond girl had to be a Mexican actress, the villain could not be Mexican, and the city's modern skyline had to appear on screen.
Then the movie opened in 182 countries and tourists started booking flights to Mexico City for the parade.
The parade that did not exist.
Tourism authorities panicked. Visitors were arriving expecting the spectacle they saw in the film and finding nothing. So in October 2016, the government spent $500,000, hired 650 volunteers, built dozens of floats and giant skeleton marionettes, and staged the first real Día de los Muertos parade in Mexico City's history. 250,000 people showed up. They openly called it a "Spectre-style parade" in press materials.
Ten years later, the parade draws millions. Anthropologists call it the "pizza effect," where a cultural element gets exported, transformed abroad, and reimported as authentic. Mexico's most famous public celebration of its most sacred holiday was invented by a British director shooting a $300 million spy movie.
That tracking shot is doing more for Mexico City's economy every November than the $20 million they paid for it.
83 minutos de jogo. Bruno Henrique acabara de fazer um gol. Percebendo que o ataque do adversário era promissor, ele não pensa duas vezes: sai em disparada pra ajudar na defesa. Graças à atitude do seu capitão, o Flamengo avança até chegar à área do Cusco e adivinha quem esta lá pra concluir a jogada?? Ele mesmo. 35 anos correndo de área à área já na reta final da partida. Capitão que lidera pelo exemplo. Ídolo histórico do Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.
Após críticas de José Trajano e Juca Kfouri, Tiago Leifert responde acusando viés político e ideológico e relembra críticas feitas a Virginia Fonseca e Felipe Melo.
Tentou dar o golpe do green card no gringo, e levou uma volta do gordinho incel com skin de mass shooting.
