The win, the clean sheet, and a nice Isak breakthrough goal. Much needed.
LIVERPOOL WIN A GAME OF FOOTBALL ON THE ROAD!
Isak scores his first league goal for the club! Clean Sheet too…Yes, it was just a flaccid West Ham side, but after leaking 10 goals in 3 straight losses, and benching Mo Salah, the respite and relief were palpable.

This was exactly my response as well. And given the ST in-world timeline she would have beat Christian Slater by 3 years!
the final season of Stranger Things should just be a Pump Up The Volume remake with Maya Hawke.

Two key moments happened in Félix Vallotton’s life in 1899: he married his wife Gabrielle (seen here slumbering in bed), and he decided to fully commit himself to painting rather than the more profitable line of engraving.

Musically eclectic and enjoyable. A really interesting and fun listen from the upbeat "Overture" to the ending "Broken to Begin With."

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
