This is genuinely one of the biggest muggings I've seen in a long time.
Poor bloke was absolutely buzzing to congratulate Zhao Xintong and ended up being brutally gubbed on national television. RIP.

Photo shows the moment before a snow leopard mauled a skier in china after trying to take a selfie.
The footage was to graphic to be shared.

🇺🇸 The B‑2 Spirit: The Bomber No One Has Matched
Only 21 B‑2 bombers were ever built. Today, 19 remain in active service, yet this small fleet gives the United States a global strike capability that no other nation can replicate.
Its range exceeds 6,000 nautical miles unrefuelled, allowing it to strike targets across continents. With aerial refuelling, it can reach any point on Earth.
Inside its internal weapon bays, it can carry up to 40,000 pounds of ordnance, precision-guided bombs, the GBU‑57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, and nuclear weapons like the B61 and B83.
Its stealth is unmatched. The flying wing design, radar-absorbing composites, and signature suppression make it virtually invisible to even the most advanced radar systems. Modern air defences still struggle to detect it until after the mission is complete.
No country has come close. China’s H‑20 and Russia’s PAK DA programs remain years from operational stealth parity, and neither has demonstrated the B‑2’s combination of stealth, range, and payload.
A generation later, the B‑2 Spirit is still the ultimate strategic bomber. It is not just an aircraft, it is a global deterrent, a strike platform, and a symbol of unmatched aerial power.

sat next to a guy on a flight who smelled like old money
rolex. tailored suit. reading a physical newspaper like it was 1987.
figured he was some finance executive or inherited wealth.
we got talking. I mentioned I sell stuff online.
he put down his newspaper.
"what kind of stuff?"
digital products. courses. ebooks. that kind of thing.
he smiled weird.
"I made $4 million last year selling a PDF about aquariums."
I thought he was messing with me.
he wasn't.
this guy is 61 years old. spent 30 years as an accountant. hated every second of it. retired at 55 with decent savings but nothing crazy.
his hobby was aquariums. had been keeping fish tanks since he was 12.
"my wife told me to start a blog so I'd stop boring her with fish facts."
so he did. wrote about aquarium stuff 3 times a week. water chemistry. tank setups. fish compatibility.
for 2 years nobody read it.
"I had maybe 50 visitors a month. all probably bots."
but he kept going because he had nothing else to do.
year 3, one article ranked on google. then another. then another.
suddenly he was getting 100K visitors a month. all people searching for aquarium help.
"I realized these people would probably pay for a complete guide. so I wrote one."
147 pages. everything about setting up and maintaining an aquarium.
priced it at $47.
first month: $6K
first year: $340K
last year: $4.2 million
from a PDF about fish tanks.
I asked about his marketing strategy.
"I don't have one. google sends people to my blog. blog mentions the guide. people buy it. I go play golf."
no email sequence?
"I have a newsletter. I send fish tips once a week. sometimes I mention the guide at the bottom. that's it."
no upsells?
"I made a second guide about saltwater tanks specifically. $67. people who bought the first one usually buy the second. that's my whole business."
no team?
"my wife helps with customer service. we get maybe 10 emails a day. most are just people showing us their tanks."
this 61 year old retiree built a bigger business than most "entrepreneurs" I know.
no ads. no funnel hacks. no growth strategies. no personal brand.
just mass expertise in one weird niche and patience to let it compound.
before we landed he gave me advice I didn't ask for:
"everyone your age wants to get rich fast. that's why most of you stay broke. I wrote about fish for 2 years before making a dollar. now I make more than I did in 30 years of accounting. speed is overrated. patience pays."
the plane landed. he grabbed his newspaper and walked off.
probably went home to feed his fish.
