Reports today of Noam Chomsky's death (in Jacobin and New Statesman, since taken down) were greatly exaggerated. I have confirmation from Valeria, his wife, that he is alive and well.
World Athletics is deeply saddened to hear that marathon world record-holder Kelvin Kiptum died in a road traffic accident on Sunday at the age of 24.

Jannik Sinner & Carlos Alcaraz have both won Grand Slams in the last 6 months.
From the moment they finished their US Open Quarterfinal match in 2021, the tennis world knew we witnessed something special.
It’s not just the way they hit the ball.
It’s the way they believe in themselves.
They fully believe they can go up against the greats of this sport and achieve their wildest dreams.
What makes it even better is that they genuinely like each other as people & respect each other as rivals.
They applaud each other’s achievements & push each other to be better.
We’re slowly entering a new era of tennis, & we’re incredibly lucky to have them leading the way.
🇮🇹🇪🇸
And you know that God wants them to be who they are. So, you would probably say, “I am so proud of you for being able to say that.”
That’s the kind of pride we celebrate this month, and that Catholics worldwide can celebrate.
Maybe the best way to think about Pride Month is to imagine what you would say to a young person who finally summoned up the courage to tell you that they are LGBTQ. You know that God created them. You know that God loves them...
