Breaking News from @TheAthletic: In one of the most shocking results in World Cup history, Cape Verde held European champions Spain to a goalless draw, thanks in no small part to a heroic performance by their 40-year-old goalkeeper, Vozinha. https://t.co/6KBPcyFRHN
Matt Damon says Clint Eastwood gave him one take after six months of accent work and called a second take a waste of time
"I spent six months... 9 to 5 Monday through Friday, we would work on this accent because South African is really hard to do"
"I showed up ready... it's my chance to work with one of my heroes, and the very first take he goes, cut, print, move on"
"I go, hang on boss, you wanna do another one? and he goes, why, you wanna waste everybody's time?"
Today, we mourn the loss of Abdullah Ibrahim (1934-2026).

Rest in peace, maestro. Your music lives on. 🕊️🎹
This is what all the FIFA World Cup videos should have looked like. Instead, this is the first one I’ve seen of joyful exuberance. Everything else has been how Trump is screwing over fans and not allowing them into the country. 6 to 1 on the bad/good videos so far.
Una de las historias más cool del Mundial es la del entrenador de Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sergej Barbarez.
Analista en TV por años. Crítico, le vivía dando palo al entrenador, a la selección de jugadores, tácticas, etc.
Hasta que, en el 2024, la Federación le dijo "si crees que lo podés hacer mejor, hacete cargo".
Y oh sorpresa, los clasificó al Mundial.
Ahora es héroe nacional bosnio.
As it wasn't an official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup, Levi's was asked to hide its logo on Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, California).
And they did it in the smartest way possible. #WorldCup#FIFAWorldCup#Levis
This is a cool look at how SoFi Stadium prepared to host eight World Cup matches (including the USMNT’s first match on home soil in 32 years). They had to remove seats and suites and then built an entirely new natural grass field with irrigation and drainage on top of the turf.
I just finished East of Eden this morning. I'm not religious at all but Steinbeck looked me in the eye and said: you are not destined to be your worst self; you are not condemned by your past; you get to choose, every single day, you get to choose. This book doesn't need you to believe in God (I judged it too harshly and quickly). It only needs you to believe in people...the terrifying, beautiful fact that we are capable of both darkness and light, and that the choice between them is always, stubbornly, ours. Honestly, one of the most devastating things I've ever read.
