Genuinely one of the most heartbreaking interviews I’ve seen of a sportsman at rock bottom. The interviewer gives a perfect example of how to be there for someone struggling. The compassion shown. The hug. The kindness. Hope Mark gets the help he needs.

About 100 years ago, on July 5, 1926, the least talkative president in American history stood up in Philadelphia and gave what I'd argue is the best speech anyone has ever given about the Declaration of Independence. Not many read it anymore. The 250th seems like a good time to fix that. /1
Happy Father’s Day to this left-handed pool shark! My dad was my hero and role model. I miss him SO much!

Very saddened by the news that the great John Virgo, snooker’s ambassador, top rated player, and - for the last 40 years - the voice of the sport, suddenly passed away today at 79. Through his commentary, he taught me the game. So thankful I got to meet him. Wonderful guy! 1/2
His signature call will be forever part of the sport. m.youtube.com/watch?v=O5WaQA…
Great news!
John Virgo will be back in the BBC snooker commentary box at the Masters, Ken Doherty has said.
Virgo's absence in the UK Championship prompted social media posts saying he had been missed.
But Doherty said on X Virgo would be back in January for the prestigious event #snooker

Alejandro Perez was led to believe he legally belonged in this country. One day he was followed to work, detained by ICE, and now faces deportation.
His wife, Janie, joined us today to share the horrific experience and its impact on their kids.

I hardly ever tweet on anything but snooker, but this is a real tragedy and unnecessary. Help if you’re led. gofundme.com/f/stand-with-ja…

I have been reluctant to opine on the passing of Kit Bond. I’ve pretty much kept my Twitter feed free of politics for almost a decade. But, with this exception, I want to extol the wonderful qualities, contributions, and character traits of this great man I got to know 1/3
over 40 years. Kit was a truly brilliant, a mentor, a sounding board, an advisor, a friend, and an advocate. He was a remarkable public servant and a profoundly effective elected official. 2/3
