The best thing about Harry Kane is that in an industry that churns out absolute wankers he is just a nice guy who loves his family, works hard at his job and is the best person he can be. Excellent role model.
🚨🚨🎙️| Harry Kane delivers an emotional tribute to his parents, wife and children after winning the 2026 Ballon d’Or! ❤️🏆 To his mum and dad: “What a moment. All those years, the sacrifice you gave me, the support you gave me, the times taking me to training, coming to watch me play, all around England, all around Germany, no matter where it was, even to this day you're there.” “There was never any pressure from you to become a footballer. It was always about working hard, it was always about improving, it was always about learning.” “I love you. Thank you very much.” To his children: “To Ivy, Vivian, Louis and Henry, you're the reason I do this.” “I want to set a good example, being a father, but also being a professional and what it means to work hard, what it means to believe in yourself. I love you very much.” To his wife Katie: “My best friend. We've been through ups and downs, for sure. You're my biggest supporter.” “Here it is. We've done it. You've always done the best for me. You sacrificed yourself to help me achieve my dreams.” “This is a trophy that we celebrate, not me. It's me and you. It's all the family.” “I love you.” ❤️

My point is- people cant even stand to imagine that there are people out there that think the Beatles are overrated. They even get outraged about it, claiming they have no taste in music whatsoever. And that is PRECISELY the reason they are overrated!=)

No other TV show has captured the pain and pleasure of drug addiction as beautifully as The Sopranos.

Being a permanent doomer and pessimist is simply a form of cowardice, masked in a veneer of being smarter and more 'realistic' than everybody else.

The most sexist belief today is that men are inherently bad and women are inherently good. It’s been absorbed by almost everyone.

Sexual duty in marriage does not mean a husband owns his wife’s body. It means a wife cannot treat the erotic life of the marriage as irrelevant and then insist nothing important has been neglected.

TLDR : I don't love him anymore, when he was travelling and playing tennis, everything was fine but now that I have him at home, I realize that I can do better. Thank you for your understanding. PS : there's a war in my country so you know, it made me realize faster. Thanks.

An absolutely brutal letter from Elina Svitolina announcing that Gael Monfils and her are ending their marriage. 😢
