This made me laugh.

Someone scraped all the traffic cams in New York to show the Knicks title celebration

Life is good for Jackson Chourio when you hit a home run and play with your dog on the field after.

Just became apparently the first on my block to put out an American flag for Flag Day.

What are you watching? I have the Germany-Curacao World Cup match, Miami Marlins-Pittsburgh Pirates game, Troy-Mississippi College World Series game and OT7 flag football final on my four-in-one screen.

How far is FIFA going with its brand restrictions? The condiments at the Levi’s Stadium press box have all been taped over 😆

I have found my spirit animal

The last living officer to fight on Omaha Beach, Major General John Raaen, 104. In 1944, right now, he wades ashore. “We landed at 7:50 a.m. where there were breakwaters and we had plenty of cover.” Even so, Raaen came under a “tremendous amount” of small arms fire from the nearby bluffs and several German strongpoints. There was “constant noise,” a ceaseless “roar.” Bullets cracked in the air, “pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, above you. The machine gun fire was absolutely continuous.” When I met Raaen back in 2018, he told me he could still hear the sound of those bullets snapping over his head, the wall of noise that greeted him as he waded ashore. He crossed Omaha Beach, moved up steep bluffs, reached Vierville sur Mer around noon then set up the 5th Rangers’ first command post in Normandy. His first, critical mission was to organize the relief of fellow Rangers, surrounded and fighting for their lives five miles away at Pointe du Hoc, having scaled vertiginous cliffs under fire. These men from the 2nd Ranger Battalion had carried out one of the now legendary feats of D Day, described by Omar Bradley as the “most dangerous mission”. See more: substack.com/@alexkershaw
