A lot of people today talking about an awful person who died but i want to make everyone aware of a good person who died: Northern Irish comedian Jimmy Cricket, who you should all look up if you don’t know. 10/10 all around wife guy, dad, granddad, and just a generally solid person

Very sad to hear this. One of the finest defenders. Un mito del calcio e dello sport.

Franco Baresi was not only the captain but the moral heart of great Milan team

The centre-back, who has died aged 66, defined an era of hard Italian defending and his collection of honours is eternal proof of his class

Dr David Hickey, former Dublin footballer and transplant surgeon, explains that he will not attend the Legends Lunch tomorrow at Croke Park due to the ongoing association with Allianz and the GPA's failure to take a stance. A true legend. Join the protest, meet 1.30pm Gill's Pub. #DropAllianz

These are great, some very nice design concepts throughout (vote for your fav on the link below). I like the idea of using birds and nature rather than people or monuments. www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot...

Mephisto, by Joaquín Espalter y Rull, 1872, 📸 by Dan Mullan

German broadcast. Nailed it

A half-time show is an anti-football abomination. Players have gone through their career used to normal break. That rhythm disrupted, in the biggest game of their careers. It's of a piece with absurdly high ticket prices and Balogun controversy - Fifa ushering this through.

Just said the same thing! Brilliant 😁

Irish libraries need to move with the times instead of always lagging behind current trends.

Immediately teared up because it's so nice to see a politician treating incarcerated people like human beings

The beautiful game. The people’s game. Throughout this World Cup, we have been reminded of a simple truth: football belongs to everyone. So does the joy and community it creates. Yesterday, I joined New Yorkers on Rikers Island to watch England take on Argentina.

Happy Bastille Day

At the Moulin Rouge, The Dance, by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1890

Happy Bastille Day! 🇨🇵 I'm genuinely saddened by the disgusting comments I keep hearing about this French team. Players from different backgrounds, with different stories and experiences, born in France, all proudly French. France is diversity, whether they like it or not.

Sam Neil has so many great performances that it feels almost reductive to focus on one scene. Except it's one of the most iconic scenes in movie history and all of it, The groundbreaking CGI, the sweeping John Williams score *doesn't* work without the authentic joy and wonder of Neill's performance

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

My favourite part of the McGregor debacle was when he put his hands up asking the other lad to stop hitting him and the other lad hit him anyway. Fuckin sucks when people ignore the word ‘no’ isn’t it Conor?
