Ancelotti might get a lot of criticism but I don’t think his tactics were odd. Brazil had many chances to go up first including that penalty

Best player ever for Norway. Individually won this game, Erling Haaland

Wrapped up moderating the Congressional briefing and stopped by the new statue of Barbara Rose Johns before leaving the Capitol. At 16, she led the walkout that helped pave the way for Brown v. Board. It is powerful to see her standing here in Emancipation Hall.

Good morning from Hong Kong

I love this side of Hong Kong.

Good morning from Shenzhen, China where robots sweep the streets and nearly everyone drives an EV car or scooter. This is the tech manufacturing hub of the world.

Hong Kong is pretty stunning from The Peak

Rice noodles in a complex chicken sock with fish balls, meat cake, two kinds of mushrooms, shallots, garlic, bok choy, fish sauce, bean chili sauce and fried starch. The best cure for jet lag in Hong Kong.
