@Empty_America Lots of people have 4 sugars in their tea and eat Haribo etc. If you have a normal diet and brush, it’s hard to rot them out

Found a good dentist today. I told him I had only been to a dentist a couple times in the last 20 years. Which is like telling a mechanic you hear a funny sound. He said my teeth were perfect due to sheer genetics but I was a dumbass and needed to come in once a year.

@TimurNegru With respect, my family is from the area and I spend summers there regularly cycling to Menton. It is absolutely rammed in summer

@CachiaLuca But I wasn't talking about the region - but about a specific place in that region. Menton isn't as popular or famous as Nice, Monaco etc. ;)

I disagree. The most underrated place in Europe is this French town that thinks it's Italian.

@ASFleischman Very interesting! I’ve never thought of the creativity required, thanks for sharing.

So, for instance, this past week I had a DUI trial where the police officer who initially detained by client had pleaded guilty to DUI. IN FRONT OF ME. Two weeks before the trial. But under Rule 404, that sort of evidence is not normally admissible.

The one thing movies never get right about trials is the rules of evidence. And I don't just mean whether the objections are accurate or the evidence is admissible. Planning how you are going to get your evidence in, and keep their evidence out, is a big part of trial prep.

@365247Sports @nytimes @TheAthletic @TheAthleticFC AI shite

@nytimes @TheAthletic @TheAthleticFC 48 teams changes everything with more markets, more narratives, but also more variance. The winner won’t just be the best team… it’ll be the one that manages the format best.

From @TheAthleticFC: Hearts have been broken, but finally we know the identity of all 48 teams that will be at the 2026 World Cup. We ranked the teams from No. 1 to 48. Here's who is most likely to win it all in New Jersey on July 19. nyti.ms/4bXqNHd

@cschwaigermt Yes, it’s almost common knowledge.

Snap elections in Malta before June, claims lawyer and ex MP Jason Azzopardi

@LucaArrigo_ Yes it’s weird and doesn’t work properly.

How many people are working at the NIC ? The .mt domain is a weird one to work with You have to sign real papers and explain the purpose of your website Feels like some red tape needs cutting or some processes need automating ✂️🤖

@Empty_America This is the same in Maltese. Our word for God (Catholic) is Alla. And I assure you we’re real Christians

Be sure not to research what the Aramaic word for God was.

@marclou @bryan_johnson Your life will be better if you never go through the nightmare of owning a small hotel. The model sounds like it could work amazingly well as you providing the “event” rather than the real estate side. So you rent out a villa complex for 2 weeks, get a private chef, sell rooms!

@marclou @bryan_johnson This sort of thing already kind of exists. Palazzo Fiuggi is a great example (outside Rome) - they don’t even serve alcohol. The problem is hospitality is hard but the “health hotel” space is higher margin and growing fast.

I want to build Longevity Hotels. 5 villas. Pitch black bedrooms, eight sleep mattresses, 0 noise. Reverse osmosis water filters. Air filters. Ergonomic desks. There's a restaurant with a chef cooking @bryan_johnson's approved meals. Ingredients from local organic shops. There's also a gym with a coach and a few classes a day. Sauna. Cold bath. The complex is in nature. Quiet but not too far from a nearby city. Customers would be people who've built online businesses and are looking for a place to focus for a few weeks. That's my dream place to stay. I don't know anything about physical business and real estate, but I want to make this real.

@FlashForFreedom The reality is you need both. You don’t want to be wearing padded shoulders whilst having an aperitivo in Portofino.

@Besciai @TurnerNovak There is a big secondary market at that size

@TurnerNovak This may be a dumb question, but if you’re an investor looking at a company that doesn’t intend to go public and is unlikely to be acquired, how do you get a a return? Secondary market sales? At this level are there still discounts on secondary sales?

TIL Stripe has never burned a dollar of outside capital raised

@maxkarpis Not really. The lounges Revolut gives access to via DragonPass tend to be quite crap.

Revolut has mostly done it with the Ultra Plan, at about 10% of the costs.

@zeroxjackson @app_settings I don’t think you could literally be any more wrong

same company, VERY different teams

@salvin_joseph What exactly are sweatpants? Were your employees showing up to work wearing a tracksuit?

Can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner - we started a no sweatpants policy today. Full militant enforcement no exceptions. The way you do anything is the way you do everything. This is a good way for me to see who’s a good fit.

@ThomasSankaraWN @AfricanHub_ Did you really need ChatGPT to write this for you?

That right there isn’t just a football altercation — it’s a snapshot of a deeper, uglier sickness that still hides under the surface of European football. Victor Osimhen didn’t just react as a player; he reacted as a man who’s tired of being reduced to the color of his skin every time he steps on the pitch. You can only keep your cool for so long when racism is disguised as “banter” or brushed off as “emotion in the game.” The sad irony? Europe loves African talent — their goals, their pace, their power — but still can’t respect their humanity. They’ll chant your name when you score, then turn around and hurl slurs when you miss. Osimhen’s reaction wasn’t right by the book — but it was real. Raw. Honest. Sometimes silence only protects the abuser. Maybe grabbing that guy by the throat wasn’t diplomacy… but it sure was a wake-up call that racism in football still deserves a red card, not a shrug.

Galatasaray star Victor Osimhen grabs Besiktas Emirhan Topçu by the thrōat after he called the Nigerian striker a black monkey

@thealepalombo It’s because southern Italian has very poor infrastructure + the government doesn’t work at a “local” level. I have property in both Italy and France - the difference in hassle is huge.

If you retire in Italy (small southern village), you pay a 7% universal tax for 10 years. In France, you will be subject to normal tax rates. Yet, almost everyone seems to prefer France to Italy. I spent some time yesterday with a migration lawyer whose firm manages a few thousand visas per year. For every client they have retiring in Italy, they have 5-6 in France. That has been the ratio for the past five years. I love the south of France - but why? Why?

@OdinMoksha @mamboitaliano__ Okay but that video was filmed in Milano

@mamboitaliano__ I love Italian culinary tradition... But Italy doesn't own the rules for coffee. It's such an archaic and narrow-minded concept to only have it in the morning. It should be understood that THEY are the exception, globally. That goes for any arbitrary tradition anywhere.

The classic Italian amusement when you order a cappuccino past breakfast… Sometimes they’ll even refuse it outright if it’s “too late” 🇮🇹☕️

@Windycom looks like there’s a bug on Radar for Malta 🇲🇹! It’s showing as ‘no data’ as of today.
