“Toaster-sized” rats. No heat. Holes in the floor. And a passion for poetry.

In an exclusive excerpt from the upcoming Tupac biography ‘Only God Can Judge Me,” friends and family detail the poverty and ambition of the rapper’s early teen years in Baltimore.

They don't like people unafraid to challenge the status quo.

Fundamentally, of course everyone must do their part and contribute their fair share.

Infelizmente, isso é só mais um ato criminoso que não pode ficar impune.

Wow, what a tool. He's afraid of being labelled as antisemitic. No, Keir. It's not anti-semitic to criticise Israeli government and their Zionist stance.

O Benfica de Mourinho ganhou solidez defensiva, mas continua previsível com bola. O problema está na falta de criatividade no meio (ausência de ligação Enzo/Rios-Sudakov-Pavlidis) ou na rigidez tática do modelo que limita a criatividade entrelinhas?

Great. Now, start the process of stepping aside and making way for free, fair, and verifiable elections.

“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else…. Equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” (x.com/jacobkornblu...)

FIFA is run like a corrupt mafia, Diego Maradona said once.

Of course, he's against increased taxes on the wealthy to support, for example, social programs.
Pay your fair share, Bernard.

Cape Verde are going to the World Cup.

The planning to ensure this happened, the diaspora, the distances people travelled to be there, the celebrations & the life-affirming joy.

All of that & more in my piece from an incredible few days in Praia.

On Wikipedia: "The teams will be allocated into semi-finals based on their FIFA Men's World Ranking of 23 October 2025, with the highest-ranked side taking on the lowest and the second-highest taking on the third-highest."

FIFA's ranking:
45. Nigeria
52. Cameroon
60. Congo
79. Gabon

Amílcar Tavares @amilcartavares.bsky.social · 3d

So, the second round's pairing might be:
Nigeria vs. Gabon
Cameroon vs. DR Congo
