Both Erivo and the folks who did the arrangement of Somebody Who Loves Me (which was also lovely) were smart to put their own gloss on it.
They were never going to match Simone nor Whitney Houston, but they shined in their own way. Great arrangements to showcase their voices.

While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead

I’m sorry to inform y’all that Joshua Kimmich may not know ball.
Arsenal have scored the joint most goals in the Premier League, the fourth most in the Champions League, and top both tables.
I think the people trying to shit-talk them might just…not know ball at all.

Absurd.
Bayern Munich, who twice went 20ish minutes without getting into the Arsenal penalty area, ended this game with 0.68 xG.
That is the third *most* xG by an Arsenal opponent in Premier League and European games this season.

I had to prep ingredients for Thanksgiving cooking early because I'm watching Arsenal soon, then heading to the Capitals game this evening.
So much dicing. The food processor got a solid runout, too. But needs must, right?

Bukayo Saka should have won a penalty in the first leg against Bayern Munich two years ago when they eventually knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League.
