Good morning

Happy Saturday morning, members! Have you been following the Olympics? As someone who plays the sport, I (Blue) enjoy watching the men’s basketball games. Whether you're cheering for our talented athletes or just savouring the spectacular moments, it's a great time to soak in all the action and celebrate the incredible feats happening right now in the City of Light. So sit back, and let's dive into the latest stories together! Before that, let’s answer yesterday’s riddle, shall we?

What five-letter English word can be pronounced the same even with four of its letters removed?

And the answer is… ‘queue’! If you cracked the riddle, look out for your special mention below! Next is our ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ segment. Today’s term is ‘Keep it 100’, which means being honest and genuine. I appreciate it when my friends ‘keep it 100’ with me, even if the truth might be hard to hear.
