@qtcinderella He was the goodest of boys and you gave him purpose right to the end. Sorry for the loss, QT.

I grew up in a dark place. I love my family and I’m grateful for the lessons I learned but I suffered a lot along the way. When I was in high school I saw a Craigslist ad of a farm looking to get rid of some puppies. I drove 2 hours in my beat up Acura and with my money saved from my retail job I bought my best friend. I named him Swift. He became a light that I never knew I could have.
I didn’t know what true love was before him. I had never had the chance to witness it. But I quickly learned the definition because of him. He held me thru breakups and hard ships. He held me when I lost my mom. He held me when I lost my identity. He held me when I couldn’t get up. Some struggles I’ve faced over the years made me wonder if I should be alive or if I should let myself go. But I always had a tether holding me. My beautiful boy who loved me unconditionally in a way that kept me here. Some days I didn’t even have it in me to get out of bed and Swift would remind me it’s time to get up. I have never loved anyone or anything the way I love Swift.
For 15 years he was the light of my life. The reason for my world. And now he’s not here. I don’t know how I’m going to survive.
For 15 years he was the first thing I saw in the morning and the last thing I saw before falling asleep.
When we would go for walks he wouldn’t watch the path he would turn back and constantly make sure I was still with him. What he didn’t know is I needed him as much as he needed me.
To say I’m heart broken is an understatement. I’m shattered down to my core. The only consistent love I’ve ever had in my life is gone. I would move mountains for Swift, and I promise I fucking tried. I’ve lost a part of my soul with him.
I wish I could do more. I wish I got more. I would give anything in the world right now to have him next to me. I’ve experienced a lot of grief in my life but this is a rare kind. I’ve loved Swift more than I loved myself on numerous occasions. I would do it all again. Every appointment, every cancelled plan, every adjustment in my schedule to make sure he got what he needed. I love that dog more than I love life itself. I hope he knows that. Thank you all for loving him too.

Currently ashamed to admit I am a fan of @ChelseaFC
Us vs Spurs. Give us the game. Loser goes down.

@SportsGuyLwazi I could hear the excitement in your voice. You have a duty to be unbiased 😂

@SportsGuyLwazi please stop with the Arsenal bias, your team needs to stay in their lane. The excitement is too much🥲

🚨🎙️ John Terry Liam Rosenior suspending Enzo Fernandez:
“Listen… I’ve got no problem with players dreaming big, yeah? Everyone respects a big club. But you don’t wear that Chelsea badge, take the armband, and then start flirting in public like that. Not on my watch.”
“Madrid reminds you of home? Good. London should be your home now. This club MADE you a £100 million player.”
“You’re vice-captain, son. Vice-captain. That means when things are bad, you stand up—not start talking about how nice Madrid weather is.”
“You think Didier Drogba was talking about Barcelona when we were losing? Did Frank Lampard start praising Milan mid-season? No. We fixed it. We fought.”
“And let me tell you something—Real Madrid don’t come for players begging in interviews. They come for winners. Leaders.”
“Right now? You’re talking like a tourist, not a captain.”
“So forget Madrid. Forget interviews. Go dominate a midfield, drag Chelsea up the table, and THEN maybe you’ve earned the right to even be in that conversation.”
“Until then… focus on the badge on your chest, not the one you wish you had.”

Arsenal can get tossed but this is good marketing and very well played.

Dear @ICC,
It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor.
Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game.
This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.
Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided.
The future is always ice, until it isn't.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association

This municipality cares only about how they can get cash into pockets. Harry Gwala will got to ruin and only be used as a venue for political rallies and the odd local concert. No one is paying those ridiculous prices to play there.

Why can’t Pietermaritzburg keep its sports teams? For a city that prides itself on its sporting heritage, Pietermaritzburg has become alarmingly good at losing the very teams that give that heritage life. witness.co.za/opinion/column…
