Edin Dzeko en conferencia de prensa post clasificación al Mundial con Bosnia y Herzegovina:

"Esto se lo quiero dedicar a mis amigos que cuando tenia 6 años con los que iba todas las tardes a jugar al futbol a la calle. Y bueno un día mi madre se enojó,
y bueno una bomba explotó en la calle, y todos mis amigos murieron."

[Jasmin Mujanović @JasminMuj]

A word about Bosnian national team boss Sergej Barbarez, who deserves so much of the credit for tonight's win. Like Edin Dzeko, he too is something of a mythical figure in Bosnia and it's worth explaining why.

Prior to Barbarez's assumption of the manager post in April 2024, the national side had been in a terrible rut. Since last qualifying for the 2014 World Cup, Bosnia had gone through seven different coaches, including brief stints by former regional stars Robert Prosinecki of Croatia and Savo Milosevic of Serbia.

In that time, there were some especially galling losses to footballing minnows. And as is often the case, those losses in the minds of many Bosnians came to reflect the country's general political malaise. In no small part because the national team itself had so often been the object of political influence and conflict, to say nothing of corruption.

Barbarez, on the other hand, had been the "people's champion" and the popular choice for bench boss almost since the moment he retired from the national team in 2006. But the nod had eluded him for so long that the prevailing sentiment was that he was effectively blackballed by the FA.

Why?

Because he cared too much, because he was a genuine patriot. Because during the iconic Bosnia-Serbia and Montenegro match in Belgrade's Marakana stadium, when Serbian nationalist hooligans pelted the small batch of Bosnian fans and players alike with everything they could get their hands on, a livid Captain Barbarez berated the officials on the field for allowing the shameful display without sanction for the hosts. He went into an environment that could scarcely have been more hostile, and he defended his people; his players, and their fans. Bosnia lost the match 1-0 but Barbarez walked out of Belgrade a folk hero.

How much his legend grew in the intervening years is best testified to by the release of the 2019 single "Sergej" by popular Bosnian hip-hop artist Kontra. A song whose chorus captured his status succinctly: "Sergej, the face of his country/Sergej, sensei".

How Barbarez has transformed this Bosnian side, how he has brought on generational young talents, while tapping the last ounces of brilliance from the likes of Dzeko will now become the stuff of legend.

So, to many Bosnians whatever happens at the World Cup this summer is somewhat moot. Because Barbarez, like Dzeko, may already well be the closest contemporary approximation to the ancient Slavic and Illyrian elemental idols; embodiments of the lighting, and the mountains. They are living, breathing myths to a small people and their ferocious passions. https://t.co/zX3d54my2n

These are four Iraqi children and their dead mother.

The kids were 10, 3, 5 and 8.

US Marines massacred them - and 19 others - in Haditha, Iraq in 2005.

These are just some of Dick Cheney's victims.

And like Joe Biden, hideous slaughter all he should be remembered for.

During election cycles, it helps to remember most of the people pumping hysterical partisan propaganda into your feed are literal sociopaths.

Writing code was never the bottleneck in software engineering. LLMs made it cheaper to write, not easier to understand, review, or maintain. That’s still the bottleneck. Let’s not pretend it isn’t.

The soul of my soul...
Sheikh Yasir Qadhi asked the Shaheed Khaled Nabhan, may Allah have mercy on him, what advice he would give to Muslims in America earlier this year at the ICNA annual convention in Baltimore.
His answer is incredibly powerful, yet so typical of the people of Gaza.
Addressing a Muslim American crowd, mere miles from the White House and the source of Israel's weaponry massacring his people including his grandchildren - the soul of his soul - there was no call for advocacy, nor for more protests. No appeal for phone banks or email campaigns. No requests for donations or food. Just a remarkable clarity, amid the rubble and darkness, on what our mission in this world is.
Even with quite literally everything falling apart around him, the one thing that never did shake is his faith. Perhaps the souls of his soul returned to her Creator so soon to awaken a billion other souls deep in slumber. May we take heed.
