Richarlison taunted Arnaut Danjuma every day about letting down his beloved Blues.
“I sat next to him in the changing room. He is an Everton fanatic. He reminded me every day. [He would look at me + say] 'It is a beautiful club, you know'.”

Shocking: a reply section full of blue checks and everyone is being sensible and agreeing with the good idea
"Imagine: Children just walking into the cafeteria and getting fed. No accounts that parents have to keep up, no time spent assessing families’ incomes or processing payments or running down parents who haven’t paid — no 'lunch shaming' — none of that."

This game of Immaculate Grid made its way to SI. Incredible! I have a meta-analysis quote too. Always thought I'd be published in SI for the swimsuit edition though.
Stephanie Apstein is incredible at her job and this piece exemplifies that. A must-read. si.com/mlb/2023/07/11/immacu…

This day in 1812 Spencer Perceval became the only Prime Minister to be assassinated. It's the LEAST interesting thing about him.
With his frenemy James Stephen he engineered one of the first bans on slavery in British territory. And he did it WITHOUT parliamentary approval /1 🧵
ALT man with pulled back, neat hair in 19th century outfit. It's Spencer Perceval.

Why do zebras have such striking, conspicuous, black & white stripes? This >150-yr-old mystery, puzzled over by Darwin & many others before him, still isn’t solved. But one hypothesis is in the lead. Hint: it's not predator confusion, thermoregulation, or camouflage (1/9)
