[1]( [U.S. Soccer star expertly handles an Iranian reporter’s loaded questions about race.]( Reporters are supposed to ask the right questions to get to the truth but sometimes it seems sports reporters ask questions to throw you off your game. There's no doubt that this Iranian reporter who was questioning Tyler Adams, the US soccer team captain at the press conference during the World Cup had an agenda that didn't involve getting to the truth. It's not clear if the questions were designed to throw the young player off of his game or if the goal was embarrassment. It really is hard to tell, but Adams handled the unexpectedly harsh encounter with intelligence and poise when some may have found it justified for him to get angry. The World Cup is being [played in Qatar]( and Iran's soccer team is in attendance. There have [been reports]( that the Iranian players were threatened with their family members facing "violence and torture" after the team refused to sing the Iranian national anthem. But there was tension with the Iranian government and the American players after the US soccer team displayed the [Iranian flag]( without the [Iranian Republic]( emblem.

That being said, it's impossible to keep everyone happy, and especially some clients who are whining for the sake of it. One receptionist at a hotel was faced with one such client who insisted they had a reservation for a room on the 4th floor. There was only one small hiccup. The hotel only had three floors. The woman insisted that she had stayed at the same hotel on the fourth floor the previous year and demanded she is given a room on the 4th floor. Despite stating multiple times that there was no fourth floor, she kept insisting. The receptionist maliciously complied and took her, along with her luggage, to the roof. The post shared on [Reddit]( went viral. [Read the story]( Did a friend forward this to you?

One day you follow an impulse and suddenly you have a brand new purpose. Such was the case for Isimeme Udu (who also goes by Naomi), who not only managed to become an overnight musical success on TikTok, she did it while pursuing a Master of Science degree from Dartmouth College. Her musical persona, Hemlocke Springs, came from a random-name generator site—a strategy made famous by Donald Glover (aka [Childish Gambino]( is reminiscent of pop stars with eccentric vocal stylings and bold fashion choices like Kate Bush and Marina.

His mate knocked on the door to find him.]( As if a Canada goose named Arnold isn't endearing enough, his partner who came looking for him when he was injured is warming hearts and having us root for this sweet feathered couple. Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable, Massachusetts [shared the story on its Facebook page]( in what they called "a first" for their animal hospital. "We often have people ask if they can visit the patients they dropped off, but today we had our first animal visitor!" they wrote. "For the safety of our patients we do not accommodate visitation requests, but in this case we had to make an exception!" Arnold is a Canada goose that lives on a pond near the facility and is part of a mated pair of wild geese that have been together for several years. The center said the geese usually keep to themselves, but one of their staff noticed that Arnold was walking with a "significant limp" and kept falling over. They were able to capture him and bring him into the hospital for examination.
