Ignore the rumours. With Slow Horses, Jack Lowden is already playing the nation’s most beloved spy. Next, he’ll debut as Mr Darcy in Dolly Alderton’s adaptation of Pride and Prejudice for Netflix. Keeping a low profile has never been so tough. Read his #GQHype: britishgq.visitlink.me/2EUdJ…
this is totally true. Declan Rice was man of the match today in that amazing win at Liverpool. He's hilarious essentially rapping about himself with this tune.

Top story in WNBA this year. THIS young lady. A true role model for young people, boys and girls. Don't give up. Don't ever give up.
Veronica Burton had to wait for the pickleball players at her hometown YMCA to finish before she could get some shots up. Last night, with 5.1 seconds left in Game 7 of the WNBA Finals, everybody was waiting on her.
The Dallas Wings had drafted Burton seventh overall, then cut her days before the 2024 opener. At the Y in Newton, Massachusetts, her sister Kayla saw her holding a basketball, staring down the court. Kayla quietly took out her phone.
“I recorded it because I wanted her to see it down the road,” she said.
A month went by before the Connecticut Sun gave Burton a spot for the rest of the season. That December, when the Golden State Valkyries got to build a team from scratch, they picked her in the expansion draft.
Burton wanted to make a good first impression. In her Golden State debut, her only points came on two free throws. Then her new coach, Natalie Nakase, wanted to sit down with her and watch every turnover.
“Great, just what I want to do,” Burton remembered thinking.
But Nakase could see why she’d made those passes. As Burton remembered it, her coach told her, “These three aren’t even your fault. You’re gonna be fine.”
By August, Burton had a game against Phoenix with 14 assists and zero turnovers. A month later, she was the WNBA’s Most Improved Player.
Back to Game 7. With Golden State up three, Atlanta forced a jump ball. Burton came up with it, and the Dream fouled her with 5.1 seconds left. Two free throws again. This time she sank them both to seal the Valkyries’ first championship.
Man, I’m glad Kayla pulled out her phone that day.
Larry the Cat is so amazing Great personality Strong work ethic Long live Larry!
One of the most famous addresses in the world, 10 Downing Street in London, is home not just to prime ministers, but also to a 19-year-old tabby cat named Larry.
@HollyMAWilliams looks at how the official pet of the British leader’s residence and Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office has become a favorite to the press — and a political fixture whose nine lives have so far outlasted five prime ministers.
Cannot forget watching Argentina in World Cup
🚨 Madueke reveals what he told Mac Allister during their heated exchange:
🗣️ “I told him to stop acting like a baby just because things weren’t going his way. First, he’s pulling Ødegaard’s hair, then even after Timber gets involved, he still wants to act tough.
When he headbutted Timber, I immediately rushed over. I told him, ‘You’re not playing for Argentina here. Nobody is coming to rescue you. I’ll smash you, you little man.’
That obviously got to him because he came straight at me and headbutted me first. But when I gave him the same energy, suddenly he was rolling around on the floor like a little kid.
That’s what I don’t understand about some players. They can dish it out all day, but the moment someone gives it back, they can’t handle it.
Even when he was on the floor, I was telling him to get up and stop all the acting. He was doing way too much. If you’re going to be physical with people, at least be ready to take it yourself.”
