🚨 Since his penalty miss in the #UCL final, Arsenal supporters have made Gabriel the top-selling shirt name at the club.

His printed name is up 350% since Saturday’s final. At one stage he was outselling any other name x2.

“You'll fall in love, I know you will
“Our number 6 is the king of Brazil
“Our centre-half, he'll give you hell
“Our wall at the back is Gabriel
“Ole Ole Ole Ola”

The Cubs defense made some unbelievable plays tonight

This title race is going down to the wire. 👊

This is the most glove side "stretched out" diving stop of Nico Hoerner's career. He's parallel to the ground at the lip of the grass against a scorcher. Incredible.

A super slowed down and zoomed in look.

(And he knows it. Look at his reaction. He knows. That's the best.)

🤣 Loved @amylawrence71 joining the celebration🙌

This isn't a card? Maybe it is just me but if you're not looking to play the ball at all and have this kind of foul that is unsporting/reckless

Box runs.

Figure 1: No.
Figure 2: Yes.

This concludes my analysis of box runs.

Bears fans, As loud as you were for opening day this year, as much energy as there was in the stadium, do you think Sunday you will be even louder when we rock the anthem for the @ChicagoBears vs @RamsNFL game? I bet so and I can’t wait!! #gobears #beardown

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. We send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn’t an ending, but a blessing.  A reward for a life worth livin'. https://t.co/2qdBbh80v1

How does Moscow view Donald Trump at the end of 2025? One Russian paper today: “The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World…he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” #ReadingRussia

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Hmm. This suggests that the Trump administration just spent at least $30 million bombing empty fields in Nigeria, even as its USAID cuts lead to deaths of children across Nigeria.
