Hey all. It’s Sunday afternoon of a holiday weekend and the weather is glorious here, so what better (worse) time to unleash a new feature on KDO? I’ve been working on a new wysiwyg comment editor for the past few days and it’s finally ready to go. Asking you folks to deal with HTML while leaving a comment was always a bit of a kludge, but now you can include links, blockquoted text, lists, and bold/italic text formatting in your comments and know exactly what it’s going to look like before posting.

You can try it out by sharing something worthwhile you’ve seen, heard, or learned recently. Feedback and bug reports welcome!!

The song remains the same, Jeremy Provost

America cannot serve as an example if its founding principles are discarded, writes Michael Beschloss.

Kort verhaal lang: we hebben eigenlijk definitief de hoop verloren dat Nolans Oddysee een goede film gaat zijn. Onlangs de geweldige cast, is de casting van bepaalde (sleutel)rollen bedenkelijk: de transgender man (biologisch vrouw) Elliot Page als goddome ACHILLES, want die viel niet eens op vrouwen! En dan ook nog de Afrikaanse Lupita Nyong'o als Helena, en daarvan is eigenlijk het ergste dat ze gewoon niet mooi genoeg is om Helena te spelen, ongeacht haar huidskleur. Verder voelt elke trailer tot nu toe plat, alle personages plat, de kleuren te flets en de actie te generiek. 

Gelukkig wekt onderstaande trailer van Werwulf aanzienlijk meer indruk. Geregisseerd door Robert Eggers, bekend van The Northman (een meesterwerk in zijn eigen genre van heel letterlijke mythologie-verfilming), The Lighthouse (zwartwitte kleinkunst) en Nosferatu (85% op Rotten Tomatoes).

• Team strategy might have cost him second place

• Christian Horner makes return to F1 paddock

Lewis Hamilton was left frustrated by his Ferrari team’s late strategic decision that might have cost him second place at the British Grand Prix, after he admitted he had endured an afternoon when nothing had gone right.

Ferrari opted to pit Hamilton under the safety car late in the race, which was won by Hamilton’s teammate Charles Leclerc. Hamilton had been in second position at the time in front of the Mercedes of George Russell, who stayed out, giving him track position. When the race came to a finish still under the safety car, Hamilton had not had the chance to make the place back on track.

• Côte d’Ivoire international is second summer arrival

• ‘I am very excited to play at St James’ Park,’ he says

Bazoumana Touré has completed a £43m move to Newcastle from Hoffenheim. The 20-year-old Côte d’Ivoire winger is Eddie Howe’s second signing of the summer after the former Reims goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen.

While Jaouen is expected to start the season as the club’s second-choice keeper, Touré seems destined to fill the boots vacated by Anthony Gordon when the England winger departed for Barcelona in May.

• Japanese No 14 seed wins 6-2, 7-6 to make quarter-finals

• Sabalenka blasts ball out of Centre Court after losing match

Women’s top seed Aryna Sabalenka was knocked out in the fourth round of Wimbledon by an inspired Naomi Osaka on ⁠Sunday with the Japanese player blazing to a 6-2 7-6 (2) win on Centre Court.

With eight grand slam titles between them, the blockbuster duel topped the day seven bill but it ⁠ended up lacking the expected ⁠fireworks as 14th ​seed Osaka dominated. Sabalenka was left screaming in frustration during a 32-minute opening set as her power game misfired.
