Truly humbled and honoured to be selected as a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal. It is very gratifying to be recognized for service to others. Extra special this is the last jubilee medal to hold her name and likeness. #queenelizabethjubilee

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell criticizes Trump's White House UFC fight:
Our government is desecrating its role in society by hosting sporting events. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.

This ancient complex is one of the greatest treasures of Byzantine Christianity.
There are no limits to Vladimir Putinโs depravity.
Right now, as Russians continue to strike #Kyiv with over a dozen of ballistic missiles, the Dormition Cathedral of KyivโPechersk Lavra โ a UNESCO World Heritage site and priceless cultural landmark โ has been struck and is burning.
A brutal assault on our people and our heritage. This is the true face of Russiaโs Orthodox values.

Carney on Pierre Poilievre's criticism that Canada already has a trade deal and that these trips aren't helpful for Canadians: We are not satisfied with the status quo. Maybe the leader of the opposition is, but we're not ... the opportunity for Canada in Europe is as big, if not bigger, than any other economy.

After Germanyโs 7โ1 win over Curaรงao, something even more beautiful happened.
While everyone else celebrated, players from both teams formed a small circle together, put their arms around each other, and prayed.
Germanyโs Felix Nmecha later explained:
โOn the pitch weโre opponents. After the game, weโre all Christians and brothers. We simply prayed together because weโre grateful.โ
In a world constantly trying to divide people, moments like this remind us what really matters. โค๏ธ

Trump did this.
You canโt find a ticket for a game in Canada. They can give them away fast enough in the U.S.

Like millions of Canadians, my ancestors left Ireland in the shadow of the famine. They carried hope across the Atlantic and helped build the Canada we know today.
To return to Mayo, and receive a welcome such as this, is a testament to the life they built for their children โ and to the indomitable spirit of the Irish, everywhere โ whose pride in their heritage is unbroken by distance and time.

In case anyone doesn't know...
- Led Curacao to become the smallest nation to make a WC
- Resigned to be in the Netherlands for his daughter, who had cancer
- His daughter's health improved & his replacement resigned to let him return
- Now he's the oldest WC manager ever

This is a very special moment for him.

๐จ๐บ๐ธ The funniest, sweetest World Cup subplot: Europeans discovering that the real America isn't the skyline, it's the gas station, the diner, and the stranger who insists on driving you to the game.
The country always looked better in person than on a screen.
