“Every time I went to the British Museum… more was disappearing.”

Carol Hage noticed references to Palestinian cities like Jaffa and Haifa quietly vanishing from displays while building her tour. Not replaced, just erased.

This is how history is rewritten.

How many of u know that St. George, England’s patron saint, had a Palestinian mother and his shrine is in Palestine?

7 English shirts trying to guard the space, and Messi sees a gap that doesn't even exist.

That wasn’t a cross, it was a guided missile on the night of the World Cup semi-final, dropping perfectly onto the lone Argentinian head. Pure, unadulterated wizardry, Every single time the world demands greatness, he delivers.

Stop the debates. There is only one GOAT, and he wears number 10!

🇦🇷 Argentina's winner was a reminder that height alone means very little in football when it comes to crosses into the box.

England had four defenders standing at:

▪️ John Stones — 188cm
▪️ Ezri Konsa — 183cm
▪️ Marc Guehi — 182cm
▪️ Dan Burn — 201cm

And yet, the decisive header came from Lautaro Martínez, who stands at just 174cm.

It was a perfect illustration that in the penalty area, timing, a world class delivery, movement and positioning often matter far more than physical stature.

Ronaldinho, Messi'ye sadece saha içinde değil, saha dışında da abilik yaptı. Aradan yıllar geçmesine rağmen birbirlerine duydukları saygıyı ve dostluğu korumaları, futbol dünyasının en güzel arkadaşlık hikâyelerinden biri olarak hafızalarda kaldı.

Forbes basically said the quiet part out loud.

For eighteen months, Washington called it “theft” when Chinese AI labs learned from American models.

Now an American lab founded by OpenAI’s former CTO releases a model that follows DeepSeek-style architecture and uses synthetic data from Chinese open-weight models like Kimi.

Suddenly it is not theft.
It is engineering.

Perfect.

Chinese open-weight models publish weights, lower costs, expand access, and let the world build on them.

American closed labs hide everything, charge premium prices, lobby for restrictions, and then accuse everyone else of stealing.

The irony is almost too beautiful.

The U.S. wanted AI to remain a closed imperial toll booth.

China turned it into infrastructure.

Now even OpenAI alumni are building on Chinese foundations.

That is not just competition.
It is gravity shifting.

Your fun fact is absolutely wrong.

There is NO country in this world that has developed without fossil fuel. There is no clear path for one to do so either!

Kenya would literally chain itself to everlasting poverty if it does not develop fossil fuel energy sources.

This pass by Messi is the greatest cross I’ve ever seen in 45 years of watching soccer. I didn’t think his sublime pass against the Netherlands in the 2022 World Cup could be topped.

The greatest of all time did it again. I’m in awe. This was not a pass, this was poetry.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.

More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.

Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.

The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.

We are proud to have them on our team.

Hay fotografías que, cuando fueron tomadas, no significaban nada. Hasta que el tiempo les dio un valor incalculable.
En 2007, el fotógrafo español Joan Monfort participó en una campaña solidaria de UNICEF, el FCB y el diario Sport. Leo Messi, con apenas 19 años, debía fotografiarse con un bebé de un casal para niños y familias vulnerables.
Uno de esos bebés tenía solo cinco meses.
Se llamaba Lamine Yamal.
Nadie podía imaginar que, diecinueve años después, aquellos dos protagonistas se enfrentarían en una final de un Mundial representando a dos generaciones diferentes del fútbol.
Es una de esas historias que demuestran que la realidad siempre supera a la ficción.
Una fotografía tomada para una buena causa terminó convirtiéndose, sin que nadie lo supiera, en uno de los documentos más simbólicos de la historia del deporte.
Porque hay imágenes que no capturan solo un instante.
Capturan un destino.

Here is the complainant, Sarah, describing publicly for the first time how International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Kahn preyed on her sexually in a gradual escalation of conduct. It is devastating testimony. Every ICC member state should watch it. And then vote him out. https://t.co/OWjRCUP3mL

DeepSeek sells V4 at laughably low prices and still keeps over 50% gross margin. China’s cost advantage is not a joke for U.S. AI companies.

So after the mattresses, LPG cylinders, milk packets, and the last-minute rush of government projects, the return on investment is 13%?

It turns out voters cannot always be bought, and political theatre has its limits. No amount of last-minute generosity can substitute for public trust.

The ballot box has a habit of humbling those who mistake state resources and campaign handouts for genuine support. That is a lesson no spin doctor can rewrite.

Congratulations to Sammy Douglas Kamau Ngotho, @rigathi and @DCP_Democracy on your decisive victory in the Ol Kalou by-election that has been marred by the most serious assault on our democracy to date.

Below is my full statement on that election.

[Conrad Kulo @ConradKulo]

To argue that Mwai Kibaki was the sole or direct cause of the 2007/08 Post-Election Violence (PEV) is historically inaccurate, overly simplistic, and factually incomplete.

Lamine Yamal tendrá 19 años y 7 días el 19/7 la final del Mundial 2026.

19 años, dorsal 19, 19 de julio y en la final puede marcar su gol número 19 con España 🇪🇸 contando todas las categorías.

El destino está escrito para él.
