We just called the International Space Station😭😭😭

Good morning from Galveston, Texas. Our main mission today is to get a new suitcase. Everywhere we go, people are so incredibly kind to us. This is what we received from the Police Department and the Astros yesterday. What I appreciate most is that they always think of my friends too and prepare gifts for them as well, not just for me. Huge thank you to everyone🙏

Is the US going to play England on July 4th? This would be EPIC.

No trip to the States is legit w/out a trip to Las Vegas. Hey @FreddyLA7 how does this sound? I’ll send the @CircaLasVegas jet to pick you & friends up in OKC to attend our @USMNT Watch Party @stadiumswim 🇺🇸 vs 🇦🇺

It was two in the morning, the hour when even the bravest samurai retires to his bedroll, yet here, a fortress of light beckoned me from the darkness. Every castle I have ever known has fallen. Fire, siege, taxes. Eight hundred years of my family learning one lesson: nothing stays open forever. This house has never closed. Not for storms. Not for holidays. Not for the hour when even the moon looks tired. I asked the waitress when they lock the doors. "We don't have locks, hon." No locks. I own walls, moats, and a sword older than this country, and I have never once said anything that powerful. Inside, a cook was scraping the grill at 2 a.m. with the calm of a man guarding something. I asked if he was the night watch. "I'm Darnell." A trucker two stools down raised his coffee. "Place stayed open during the hurricane," he said. "FEMA's got a whole index about it." An index. The government of this nation measures disasters by whether THIS HOUSE is still standing. In Japan, we measured a clan's strength by its castle. Same thing. Theirs serves waffles. I ordered. I ate. I confess what happened next. I did not want to leave. The night outside was large. The booth was warm. I am a grown warrior, and I sat in a yellow fortress at 3 a.m. feeling protected by hash browns. A castle does not promise to stand forever. It simply leaves the lights on. I drive past at night now. Just to check. The lights are always on. Sentries of the griddle — I see you. Hold the line.

NOBODY does it like Atlanta ❤️ #FIFAWorldCup #WeAre26 #WeAreAtlanta #FIFAFanFestival

CURAÇAO SCORES ITS FIRST-EVER FIFA WORLD CUP GOAL 🇨🇼 THE SMALLEST NATION TO EVER QUALIFY HAS ITS MOMENT!

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

This is …. And I don’t say this lightly…. The single greatest piece of writing I have ever seen in my life The Japanese have discovered unlimited chips & salsa and it’s beautiful

Wow! Curaçao!

Penn State has landed a big commitment from 4⭐️ 2027 DE Elijah Guertin, per Ryan Snyder! The 6'5", 250lb DE primarily chose PSU over Florida and Tennessee. Guertin is ranked as the #190 overall player in the '27 class, the #18 DE, and #1 player from Rhode Island. One of the staff's top EDGE targets in the entire class is now in the boat. 🔐 Welcome home, Elijah! 🔵⚪️ #WeAre
