Intersections of Play: Paul Pfeiffer's The Playroom, 2012

the creators of Ted Lasso really said we’re going to make a football show using every rom-com trope and beat not about an actual romantic pairing but rather to tell a story about grown ups becoming better people through love, openness, mutual support, and therapy.

Sorry if I missed some lore! But is "Killie" pronounced like "Silly", because it's from Cillian? Please say this grumpy delight is generally known as Silly!

No, I’m so sorry, it isn’t! Don’t worry! So many written languages would see “Cill” and go for a “sill” pronunciation, as in Priscilla. His nickname has an anglicised spelling because you couldn’t expect anyone to approach Cilly or Cillie without context and get it right.

However, Cillian is an Irish name, and is pronounced something like KILL-ee-yan.

Calling him Silly Ian causes him to make this face. It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s - just Killie, though, if - if you don’t mind.

Edit: I’ve just found this pronunciation guide while googling omg

The Ukrainian Life Saving Center published footage of the evacuation of people after the russian chemical attack on Ukrainian territory.

just look at the condition of these victims. I can't imagine what they feel, and what a terrible pain it is.

unfortunately, the world leaders, who once guaranteed Ukraine complete protection, are trying to turn a blind eye to the fact that the russians are once again violating all international human and environmental laws.

I don't get tired of reminding and asking each of you not to stop supporting Ukrainians, spreading information about the russian war in Ukraine and not tolerating everything russian to show criminal russia and world leaders that you do not tolerate russian terrorism, its culture and products!

Every two years, all the colles (local groups) who do castells (Catalan tradition of doing "human castles") meet in the city of Tarragona to hold the national castellers competition. It's held on the first weekend of October of even years.

This competition is followed like a sports event, with the stadium full of public and aired live on Catalonia's national TV and narrated with as much enthusiasm as a football match.
