This Paddy Power advert featuring the Man United fan not cutting his hair until they win 5 games in a row is brilliant 👏🤣

I read this question and instinctively answered in my mind that I live in A Major! I’ve always thought it’s the brightest, happiest key 💕though at work I sometimes have to modulate myself down to F so people take me a bit more seriously; it’s a little more grounded and sensible.

“I never thought *I’d* get hit in the face,” sobs woman who signed up for the Hitting People in the Face Competition
“I have never been hit so hard in my life. It’s up to the IOC to judge.” Italy’s Angela Carini after lasting just 46 seconds against Algeria’s intersex athlete Imane Khelif. Biological firestorm at Paris Olympics.

How do you test if you’re an optimist? You kind of walk through life hearing things in a major key versus a minor one. When I was a journalist I once asked Philip Glass what key he lived in and he answered “E-flat major” without skipping a beat. I think optimists get this analogy more than pessimists.

Manchester United winning the FA Cup with goals from two homegrown young players against nation state-owned Manchester City with their multiple charges is rather wonderful #MUFC

The people who run Manchester United work towards the goals they're incentivized to achieve which are determined by the owners and what their priorities are. There isn't a single justifiable reason to keep anyone who works at Utd at executive level if sporting success was important to the Glazers. They see their players as assets, how long they stay is determined by their commercial value, their market value and how much their replacement costs, what happened today and on Sunday would cost most people their jobs and players their careers at clubs who prioritized sporting success as it would be such an obvious failure. It's allowed to persist at Utd because first principles at the club is commercial success and everything is derivative of that. You can't blame Richard Arnold for doing the job he's told to do. The Glazers wanted to put Utd into a league with no relegation and guaranteed revenue, if Utd finished bottom of that league every year, the Glazers wouldn't lose a wink of sleep, they have never felt a duty of care to Utd with regards to what happens on the pitch. Utd are a business with a company football team in a league playing against teams who pour hundreds of millions into winning football games.

A Black woman in Mississippi reported her son missing and went 7 months with police telling her they couldn’t find him. She sent them photos, begged for updates, and implored them to put his story on the news. It turns out they knew where he was all along. An hour after he left his house he was struck and killed on the highway by an off duty police officer. They hid his body in the morgue for months without ever notifying his family despite there being a prescription bottle with his name on it found at the scene. Then they buried him in a pauper’s field with nothing but a number identifying him as corpse # “672”. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bet…

The @Delta terminal in LGA is shiny and new, but imma have to choose to fly any other airline out of Terminal B just because there’s no decent breakfast sandwich to be found here. Terminal B has the SHAKE SHACK ones! Boy could I really have done with one of those (mine was sad).

My favourite part of the #BECKHAM docu thus far is how every member of the family, ESPECIALLY mum Sandra, has absolutely. zero. time. for Glenn Hoddle, not after the way he threw their boy to the wolves. Becks making it through that is credited 1000% to, and ONLY to, Sir Alex.
