For professional level or Olympic level sportsing, 54 is practically ancient. Curling isn't exactly easy of the joints, but I'm definitely happy for him!

This charming combination of faerie stories and historical fiction included timely concerns, a romance subplot, puzzles and challenges to overcome, and a look at what it means to be human and a community.

The pass, the composure to round the keeper...
Beating the keeper with great composure 😮‍💨

Mariona with a beautiful ball to set up Olivia Smith who makes no mistake in front of goal!

He comes from Sweden
The girls are very nice
He dumped his girlfriend
To play in red and white
He's scoring goals with
The cannon on his chest
His name is Victor!
Victor Gyökeres!!! ⚪🔴 #Arsenal #COYG

This month I read Midnight Taxi by Yosha Gunasekera, coming Feb 2026.
MC: lady taxi driver. Victim stabbed in back of cab. Enjoyed: classic murder mystery elements, podcast references, relatable characters, focus on immigrant experience, timely issues. Solid read.

When Arsenal need a clutch moment, Leandro Trossard is normally the player to come up with something.

Unfortunately it wasn’t enough yesterday, but this season he’s been on top form.

Long may it continue. 🇧🇪

As you sit at your next fancy #brunch,
When you start cracking legs that go "crunch,"
Remember you have
That dungenous crab
From the deep sea, as you happily munch.

If you want to visit the deep sea,
Remember that it's super #chilly.
So best pack a coat
(That will sink, not float),
Or else you'll turn into a freezie.

Oh lantern fish oh lantern fish,
You #glitter in the deep sea.
Oh Problematic Lantern fish,
Your body is so shiny.
Diaphus problematicus,
You school and bioluminescence.
Oh lantern fish, oh lantern fish,
Your scales are lovely glittery.

I am all in a sea of wonders. 

Dracula, Bram Stoker

The vampire squid Vampyroteuthis infernalis, it's name literally means “the vampire squid from hell.” 

Sounds like a Halloween nightmare, right?

As the #WPBL is set to premiere, I'd love to call out the amazing Jean Faut. She's the only professional player (man or woman) to throw TWO perfect games
