Infantino has to go. He’s sold the game to cozy up to Trump and whatever dictator pats him on the head. Somehow makes Blatter look like a man of courage.

Devastating story. Natalia Khodymchuk, widow of the first victim of the 1986 Chornobyl disaster, died from severe burn injuries from Russia's massive Nov. 14–15 attack on Kyiv.

Russia kills, kills, kills. Death and destruction are Muscovy's legacy.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

It's a useful reminder that sometimes tech can make a task more efficient for one side (applying for jobs), and more efficient for the other side (writing job adverts), and yet make the system as a whole completely inefficient.

Bond comes back to life all the time! It’s the main conceit of You Only Live Twice!
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

For all the talk of 'Broken Britain', so many things have got better.
