WHAT A FIGHT! SCANDIVANIA BEATS TRAWLERMAN IN A BRILLIANT GOLD CUP BATTLE!

It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.

Don’t forget when Rome was collapsing emperors would use Gladiator fights to distract the people from the Corruption of the State at that time! This is all starting to make sense now. Who agrees?

Sad news about Tomi Reichental. He was a lovely, soft spoken man who spoke to thousands of Irish schoolchildren about his experiences in the Holocaust. His memoir, 'I Was A Boy In Belsen' was powerful and extremely moving.

🇮🇪 A football commentator in Australia would be hung and quartered for daring this. US, UK and many other nations too. All power to you Richard Sadlier 💚 #FreePalestine #BDS 🇵🇸

The end of an incredible journey with the Reds 👏❤️

Thank you, Seamus. 💙

After 17 years of incredible service, Seamus Coleman will now always have a piece of Goodison with him. 💙

Au revoir, Darren! The original West Cork rugby trailblazer Darren Sweetnam is bringing the curtain down on his five-year stay with French club Oyonnax. The Dunmanway man left Munster in 2021, first to La Rochelle, before Oyonnax become home.

HODGES: We are going to regret that we, United States, didn’t do more to help Ukraine, because Ukraine going to win this war. Ukraine’s defeat of Russia is in best interests of all of us. Ukraine will become dominant defense industry power in Europe. America will be left behind.

Japan just turned thin air into fuel. No oil rigs. No drilling. No pipelines stretching across oceans. Just water, CO₂, and a process that flips combustion on its head. ENEOS Corporation, Japan's biggest oil refiner, pulled it off at their Yokohama lab. They built a demo plant that sucks carbon dioxide straight from the atmosphere, splits hydrogen out of water using renewable energy, then fuses them through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis into liquid hydrocarbons. The result? Real, usable synthetic petroleum. The kicker: this fuel is "drop-in ready." That means it works in the cars you already drive, the planes already in the sky, the pipelines already in the ground. Zero modifications. They didn't just brew it in a beaker either. They ran actual vehicles on it. It works. Think about what that unlocks. Countries with no oil reserves could manufacture their own fuel using nothing but sunlight, wind, and the air around them. The geopolitical chessboard would flip overnight. Sectors that electrification can't easily touch, like aviation and heavy shipping, suddenly have a clean fuel path. There's a catch, though. The process is hungry. The same electricity it takes to brew one liter of synthetic fuel could push an EV about 200 km down the road. ENEOS quietly shelved the project in 2025 because the economics didn't math out yet. But the science? Proven. The blueprint exists. Someone, somewhere, will crack the cost problem. And the day they do, the oil map of the planet gets redrawn. Source: ENEOS Corporation / TheTownHall(.)News

Katie McCabe leaves the pitch for the last time as an Arsenal player 💚 She captained the Gunners at Liverpool for her final appearance. The away end was littered with Irish flags 🇮🇪 She blew them a kiss as she was subbed off late on

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
