SLInstagram | Pensacola Mayoral candidate Ann Hill posts City Council footage: "Jacob Rockwell told City Council he received a red-light camera ticket while he was out of town. His concern goes beyond one citation. He argues these cameras shift the burden from the government proving guilt to citizens proving their innocence—a serious due process concern. A Florida judge recently ruled the state's red-light camera law unconstitutional on similar grounds, though the ruling is expected to be appealed."

Carlos Queiroz’s squad hope to repeat the form that almost made Ghana the first African team to reach the semi-finals
Antoine Semenyo was only 10 years old when Ghana came within a Luis Suárez handball of becoming the first African team ever to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. The Manchester City forward can still vividly recall the emotions that night as he watched with his family in Bexleyheath, south-east London.
“I remember being at my uncle’s house, and we were screaming after the handball, thinking we were going through,” he said in an interview last month. “Watching Ghana play in the World Cup was so special. Mum, Dad, uncles, aunties, cousins all turn up to one house, and we would watch all the games together, celebrating and screaming. Ghana came in [for me] when I was 19 or 20, so I was never going to turn it down.”

Merlin’s owner, Karla Gómez, says it was ‘an honour’
Merlin, the pet duck in a mini Mexico shirt who has become a viral sensation and an unofficial mascot of the World Cup, met Mexico’s president on Monday.
The duck waddled on to the stage at the start of Claudia Sheinbaum’s regular morning press conference, took a seat where ministers and officials are usually seen, and unfazed by the occasion, let out a few quacks.

Wij weten ook ff niet wat we lezen: SBS6 heeft een streep gezet door een volslagen achterlijk programma met Jan Versteegh waarin domme mensen dom veel geld konden winnen door domme dingen te doen. Een genre waarvan het magnum opus (De Gouden Kooi) al bijna 20 jaar achter ons ligt. Het idee van realityshow Vijf dagen vast was dus dat vijf compleet wildvreemden gedurende vijf dagen (goh!) aan elkaar vastgeketend zouden worden, ook tijdens het schijten, en dan met z'n vijven debiele opdrachtjes zouden moeten uitvoeren. Klinkt compleet ruk en dat bleek het ook te zijn. Na één draaiperiode zet Talpa de boel stop. Wellicht omdat de aan elkaar geketende kandidaten elkaar al na een dag naar het leven stonden en continu op de vuist gingen, of wellicht omdat het in de praktijk uitmondde op een zeer expliciet neuqprogramma. Hoewel dat allebei dus juist klinkt als prachtige tv. In ieder geval heeft ome Sjon de Mol besloten de stekker uit een volstrekt idioot pauperformat te trekken en daarop vragen wij ons af: is dit Nederland nog wel??
Thousands of handmade ceramic tiles nest together like a puzzle on the facade of the Torre San Luis hotel in Guadalajara, Mexico. Abstract shapes evocative of a lush garden ecosystem burst across the outdoor wall in a collaboration between Alex Proba and the artisans of Cerámica Suro.
Titled “Shape of Movement,” the large-scale public work melds Proba’s organic visual language with a color palette that reflects the local environment. Earthy neutrals, alongside dusty pinks and blues, mimic the sun-drenched landscape, while the dynamic forms appear as if they’re mid-motion.
“The work is about the movement we carry through spaces every day,” Proba shares. “I wanted the mural to feel as if the shapes are interacting with one another and flowing through the architecture itself.”
This is the second collaboration between Proba and Cerámica Suro, following a vibrant swimming pool installation at a Miami home. Find more from both the artist and the studio on Instagram.
