Today's menu features a delightful buffet of words, served with a side of chuckles and a sprinkle of giggles. Bon appétit!
Here's your weekly whirlwind of global shenanigans for July 2–8, 2025:
Ceasefire hopes in Gaza floated higher than the ISS, while Trump and Netanyahu met to "solve things" (read: talk a lot, solve little). The Russia-Ukraine drama continued with the U.S. hitting pause on weapons like it's a Netflix binge, while Ukraine loaded up on drones like they were on Black Friday sale.
Meanwhile, the U.S. stirred the global pot with new tariffs on Japan, South Korea and others, while Brazil’s Bolsonaro’s coup allegations went viral (again), and Kenya's pro democracy protests turned deadly. Oh, and in “Wait, what?” news: a gas station exploded in Rome, a lion went rogue in Pakistan, and an Indonesian volcano decided it was showtime. And yes the Chinese in China (being specific here) battled a record-breaking heatwave (we in Germany too btw. was it FOMO?)
In sports, Wimbledon and the Tour de France thrilled fans, the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 kicked off in Switzerland, and the FIFA Club World Cup neared its final stages in the U.S.
Sports, heatwaves, and sudden U.S. aid cuts? Yep, just another totally normal week on Earth. 🌍🔥🎾
