Marco van Basten. The Ajax Years.

A brioche bun is unsuitable for a burger. Eating it handheld, the sandwich will fall apart because the bun is too soft. Offering burgers on a brioche bun with no alternative is a woeful trend in American cuisine.

Virgil Van Dijk and Mo Salah will probably retire without a Ballon D'Or, yet Ousmane Dembele, who's been shite for years, scored a few goals in the Uber Eats League against farmers and security guards and will have one. What a fucking farce of an award.

We are devastated to pass on the news of the passing of Chubby Tavares, lead singer of the legendary group Tavares -- the first act we ever profiled on SoulTracks. Rest in Peace, Chubby zurl.co/0Fzxe

I vividly remember this occasion... It was 30 years ago. He interviewed me for a series for a Dutch TV channel. You can see in the picture the opening of a game I won against Wolfgang Uhlmann, sacrificing 2 pawns for a huge attack on the kingside. We analysed this game together

Can someone explain why F1 has gone down this battery/EV route? We already have Formula E for that. Why not just let F1 be about the best and most powerful combustion engines?

"The FIA should divide its racing categories more clearly. Formula E would stay as an all-electric series, the World Endurance Championship ... becomes the home for hybrid power units and F1 returns to naturally aspirated internal combustion engines." telegraph.co.uk/formula-1/2026…

Marco Van Basten vs Egypt 1990 World Cup debut -- incredible performance.

The former Dutch Empire teaches us a lot about the importance of capitalism in driving long-term success through the development of productive entrepreneurs. The Dutch became a leading empire by being open to the best thinking in the world. They became so inventive that they

🇻🇦🇩🇿 Un moment magnifique en Algérie❗️ Le pape Léon XIV assiste, ému et souriant, à l’interprétation de l’Hymne de la Paix par un chœur mixte composé de chrétiens et de musulmans dans la Basilique Notre-Dame d’Afrique à Alger.

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is
