Older Bohs fan bawling like a baby over the lights being turned off at Dalymount Park while a younger Bohs fan sniggers at him.
Bohemian FC - what a club.

THIS!! ❤️
Hermano,
Has ganado el mundial. Has hecho historia. 🥹❤️
Pero más allá del trofeo, gracias por esto: has hecho que millones de inmigrantes como nuestros padres se sientan orgullosos de que sus futuros hijos algun dia puedan vivir lo que tu has vivido y de que millones de españoles empaticen con nuestra historia que no es solo la nuestra sino la de todas las personas que dejan todo atrás por un futuro mejor, porque has tocado el cielo con los dedos y has demostrado que con trabajo y esfuerzo todo es posible.
Hoy el mundo te ha conocido mas si cabe y has puesto nuestro apellido en el infinito, por lo siglos de los siglos.
Te admiro. Te amo. Campeón del mundo ✊🏿🏆🥹

A quite instructive news item there on "Fox 5" in New Jersey fretting over whether fans travelling for the World Cup will tip
One barman says they will add percentages to prices to cover employees
The anchor then: "It is cultural but it is all part of the package in the US"
Good job they didn't lose! Mad stuff.

It’s a shame that we have to watch Arsenal play football after this performance by The Killers
Wow, this is a not colourized picture from WW1! @photo_matt66
The winter of late 1914/early 1915, and a candid shot of French soldiers eating their rations by a fire close to the Battle of the Marne. I have cleaned-up this fascinating Autochrome, which was taken in colour around 112 years ago by Jules Gervais-Courtellemont. It is particularly interesting as it shows the period of transition with the French uniform: from their traditional navy blue blazers & scarlet trousers, to their new cornflower blue coats. It was taken using an early colour glass-plate process and isn't colourised.

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.
Pile up on North bound M1 before Luton too so heaven help anyone going to @LDNLutonAirport

Let me get this straight. Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion. His own Justice Department is now considering settling that case. And one of the terms on the table is that the IRS drops all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses PERMANENTLY.
He’s using the full weight of the federal government to protect himself and his family from accountability and potentially pay himself BILLIONS of your tax dollars.

6am, Dingle - Ireland's earliest St Patrick's Day parade.
The pre-dawn tradition dates back to the Land War of the 1870s when British authorities outlawed public gatherings between sunrise and sunset. The people of Dingle found a way...
WTF are France wearing? They look as if in all white too in the long distance camera shots, ie most.

Brilliant from jamiekaler! It's hard to make light of such a terrible crime, but this might help some thick-as-shit MAGA fanboys understand why this is wrong.
