What the heck, were all these animals on the lamb?
50 runaway sheep ram-paged through a German supermarket in rural Baa-varia, causing shear mania on Monday morning.
After breaking away from their 500-strong herd, the brazen sheep spent 20 minutes milling around in the Penny supermarket before ewe-turning and seeing themselves out.

History is instructive for the present (and future) because it often reveal possibilities in the past - possible worlds - that are instructive (but not predictive) for how human agency can shape events

It's the most magical time of the year — when estimates of last year's global average temperature anomaly come out. Time to dust off my "last year was hot" auto-response.

No more moaning about Arsenal not attacking or scoring enough, plz. We just scored three against a team that had only conceded six goals in nine home games this season. We move. 👊🔴⚪️

If you want to know what the plan is, traitorous stooge Machado told the America Business Forum back in November: privatizing oil to the tune of $1.7 trillion. She said the same thing at a Saudi forum. It’s remarkable how little pretense there is. youtu.be/l2J2JtO8R9Q?...

Every recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize has invaded and kidnapped the president of a country. Really makes you think.

2025 was the windiest year ever in #Boston, at least since Logan Airport opened.
Also - epic heat brought the hottest temperature ever recorded in June (102°) to the city (& lots of #NewEngland) & plenty more in 2025's lookback.

🚨🚨🚨 2025 finished in the top 10 for warmest year on record in the Contiguous U.S. (1895-present). For most of the areas from the Rocky Mountains westward, it was a top 5 warmest year. No areas had a historically cool year.

“Every country in the world has the worst refs.”
Great article for all the chronic officiating moaners out there.
IMO PGMOL is a lot less in the crosshairs this season. Maybe they are finally getting the hang of VAR?
