Goal of the World Cup so far?
Superb play from New Zealand sees them take an early lead against Iran — Elijah Just applied the finishing touch to a move brimming with quality.
Particularly strong hold-up play from Chris Wood.

Agreed! Thank you for sharing it!
Great @ajarrodkimber piece.
“When NZ were in trouble, he was calm, stable, and controlled the situation. His greatness was the ability to soothe a nation. When Kane Williamson played, NZ was at their most stable. For a generation, their ship was steady.”

Peter Thiel said Pope Leo was the antichrist for wanting to regulate A.I. He bought a mansion in Buenos Aires and met Argentine president Javier Milei. Now Milei in FT pitches Argentina as the home of unregulated A.I., creating a new legal framework, the “nonhuman corporation”.

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”
“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”
Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62

I linked to this 16 months ago. It's still as described. RIP Sir Alex Younger.

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

Pope Leo XIV on the soon-to-be Blessed Fulton J. Sheen:
“Archbishop Sheen was a light of faith, hope, and love that shone through the radio and television media for decades. I myself am a witness of his evangelization when I was growing up. His broadcasts, touched millions with the hope of the Gospel and his initiatives and efforts resulted in enormous spiritual and material aid to the churches in areas of first evangelization."

Strongest rhetoric I can remember hearing from Sheinbaum: “Is this really a legitimate, genuine interest in helping Mexico? Or are we perhaps seeing sectors of the U.S. far right positioning themselves ahead of their 2026 elections?”

Massive respect to Marquinhos. Incredible to comfort Gabriel in that moment. Fair play.
