Sometimes the statistics don’t tell the same story as your eyes. This was not one of those times. Arsenal went up early and tried to defend and kill time for 85 minutes plus extra time, and it didn’t pay off.

PSG dominate every statistic in the match

My local supermarket. $7 a pound for asparagus is obscene.

One of the things I enjoy about distance running is planning my snack when I get back home. Today it was a BLT with a tomato fresh from my garden.

My newest project is "The Tourist's Guide to London Football Soccer." It's a distillation of five years of eating, drinking, and spectating at every professional football ground in London, plus Wembley, Tottenham (both stadiums), and Lord's. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHQ3QQJR

@wiswell.bsky.social I was canceling an Audible trial today, and the customer service rep dropped this on me:

By the way, I have a book that you should really try. It called "Someone You Can Build a Nest In". It is from our best-sellers. Let me add it to your wish list and you can listen to the sample before you purchase.

Thought this was super interesting in the ArsTechnica article about Murderbot. No guarantee of a second season, but interesting to see that they may combine novellas if there is. arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

Ars Technica: I'm going to boldly hope that there's going to be a second season because there are more novels to adapt. Are you already thinking about season two?

Paul Weitz: We're trying not to think about that too much; we'd love it if there was.

Chris Weitz: We're very jinxy about that kind of stuff. So we've thought in sort of general ways. There's some great locations and characters that start to get introduced [in later books], like Art, who's an AI ship. We're likely not to make it one season per book anymore; we'd do a mashup of the material that we have available to us. We're going to have to sit with Martha and figure out how that works if we are lucky enough to get renewed.

Anakin: we're offering you $5k to have a baby
Padme: And free childcare, right?
Anakin: <smirks>
Padme: Right?

This—from The Athletic, about retired footballer Hidetoshi Nakata—is such a compelling antidote to what’s happening in America right now. Representation matters, even (especially) in sports.
