Gutted. In a photo in @theguardian1.bsky.social article, there's a photo of FB with Gianluca Vialli. This photo with Gullit, Rijkaard, and there would be Maldini, Van Basten et al. 🥲 www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This is a fun article. I find it's been turned into a human-read version (ok, The Economist has had human-audio for subscribers for some time). However, in a age of bots, refreshing to listen to (I'm assuming) a real person. Gift link might be limited 🎁 www.economist.com/podcasts/202...

From Tokyo to Toronto, childhood play has become enveloped in well-meaning bubble-wrap (no wonder kids beg for screens). Some European playgrounds, however, are injected with a dose of risk—that is a feature, not a bug

I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion. - Yohji Yamamoto

Photo by Motoki Tonn. A ceramic tea bowl, repaired in the kintsugi tradition, rests on a worn wooden surface against a dark, blurred background. The pale, speckled glaze — white, gray, and brown — is crossed by cracks filled with gold and black lacquer. Where gold traces the breaks, the damage becomes the design. The bowl is low and wide, its form unhurried. Dim light falls across the surface, letting each fissure speak without apology.

It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. - Chuck Palahniuk

PHOTO by Nathan Dumlao. A deflated yellow smiley-face balloon lies abandoned on a damp city street, its crumpled surface and loose string hinting at a lost moment of celebration. A black car speeds past in the foreground, while other vehicles remain parked along the curb. The overcast light and worn pavement give the scene a subdued, fleeting quality.

"The secret of being happy consists of knowing how to enjoy yourself—enjoy being at table, in bed; enjoy standing up, sitting down; enjoy the nearest ray of sunshine, the slightest bit of landscape. In other words, love everything." ~ Gustave Flaubert 🎨 Henri Matisse @arealmofwonder

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
