More news about Diogo Jota’s accident: > According to Portuguese media _A Bola_, Diogo Jota and his brother made the trip by car on their way to Santander to catch a ferry to Portsmouth, a journey that takes two nights, a total of 31 hours. The decision to make such a long trip was due to the Portuguese international’s advice not to travel by plane to avoid cabin pressure following the lung surgery he underwent after the Nations League.

I remember when Paul Mullin of Wrexham FC got a punctured lung during an exhibition match in Los Angeles and couldn’t fly back to Wales for weeks until his lung was sufficiently healed for exactly this reason. You do not want your lung to literally pop mid-flight. ---

Billy Hunter, who had a rather unremarkable 6-year MLB career in the 1950s, has passed away at 97.

> [@Cazzle](#): > > Julian McMahon, 56. > > Australian actor and son of a former Prime Minister. He played the Prime Minister of Australia Stephen Roos in Netflix’s “The Residence.” I’m guessing that was an intentional thing. (In other heads-of-state roles, he also played POTUS in “Red.”) Also, I had no idea he was married to Kylie Minogue’s sister at one point. (Kylie played herself in “The Residence.”) ---
