From being born in a refugee camp to scoring at a World Cup. A message to millions. ⭐️

Nestory Irankunda’s journey from displacement to becoming Australia’s youngest #FIFAWorldCup goalscorer shows what’s possible when hope, talent and opportunity come together. 🌍⚽

@MarcelDeneuve Marcel, I LOVE your work. The scale you are able to create makes me feel small. Very modern day Chris Foss

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Right then.
Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works.

You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera.
And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls.

Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available?

You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant.

NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours.

You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait.

@Erdayastronaut As an amateur photographer, this is next level awesome. I guess it always comes down to framing and cropping 😂

I’ll save you some time on the Iran address:

• It’s Biden’s fault
• 48 hours
• Two weeks
• Some incoherent gibberish
• We’ve won
• We are way ahead of schedule
• It’s a little excursion
• We have obliterated them
• We’ve knocked out all their ships
• I could open up the Strait of Hormuz
• Go get your own oil
• They gave us a present
• NATO are cowards
• Something about Nuclear weapons
• Allies are useless
• We need allies
• Nobody’s ever seen anything like it
• Fake news
• DEMOCRATS
• Obama
• More gibberish
• I know more than the generals
• Greatest foreign policy ever

Am I missing anything?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We turn our gaze to Jesus, who reveals himself as King of Peace, even as war looms abounds him. He remains steadfast in meekness, while others are stirring up violence. He offers himself to embrace humanity, even as others raise swords and clubs. #GospelOfToday

I might be light blue, but this is some goal.

[Isuzu UTE A-League @aleaguemen]

Assist of the season? Dylan Scicluna take a bow! The goal was scored Brandon Borrello, but Scicluna's skill and ability to beat four players and then play the perfect pass makes the Wanderers fourth goal special!
