White fortysomething queer in sunglasses, red t-shirt, and wide-brimmed hat, standing in front of a beige wall and some succulents, holding a sign that depicts an angry frog stepping on a crown and thinking "nope" Same fortysomething queer now standing next to another, who is Latina and wearing cooler sunglasses and a "Fight for Trans Futures" ACLU t-shirt

This is driving me to DuckDuckGo
Google search for "psg ucl history" Below, the AI overview of results says "Paris Saint-Germain has a history of participating in the UEFA Champions League but has never won the competition. They reached the final once, losing to Bayern Munich in 2020. In 2025, they reached the final again, losing to Inter Milan."

"In the grand scheme of things, the penny isn't a big issue," Lombra said. "But I think the penny is symptomatic of a larger trend we're seeing around, which troubles me, of having these bold claims that 'If we do this, we'll get this really good result,' which are often devoid of scrutiny. It's like some politicians are assuming that the benefits are big and the costs are small, so they just go for it."

NCAA WoSo (D1 tournament 1st round): #8 USC vs. unranked Grand Canyon is scoreless at the half, because GCU's goalie is quite good.
Soni McAlister Field scoreboard showing 0-0 at the start of halftime, with 5 shots for USC and 1 for GC. GC GK DeAira Jackson, a tall Black woman with long braids, is walking toward the scoreboard.

Proud of the flag unfurlers as well as the players after a wild ride of a day for ACFC fans.
North end of BMO Stadium during first half of today's game v. Thorns. Two large Palestinian flags (and a smaller 🏳️‍🌈) are visible in the supporters section Two fortysomething white lesbians grinning and squinting at camera, glasses partly "transitioned". One is wearing a backwards snapback and an ACFC away jersey, the other a black long-sleeved t-shirt with large team logo and small Nike swoosh. Behind us are other fans and stadium railing. BMO stadium, long shot from the 200 level southwest corner. ACFC and PTFC post-game huddles happening on field, while video board displays a "playoff bound" graphic and final score of 5-1.

I'm grateful to get home 》2 hrs earlier because of Southwest Airlines' new same day standby option for Wanna Get Away fares. I DON'T appreciate their false statement on app and website that they'll affirmatively clear & notify standby pax, when at SMF you only get cleared if you talk to gate staff.
Screenshot from Southwest Airlines website that says in relevant part, "we will let you know if you are cleared via your contact preference."

For those who need a visual as to who beat the "woke" Americans. #WWC
Lina Hurtig, with blond undercut, who scored the winning penalty "by a millimeter" for Sweden on Sunday, wearing a blue blazer and holding her wife Lisa, who's wearing a yellow dress. Lisa is visibly pregnant and there are baby shoes atop her "bump". They both have nice watches.
