@AndrewGold_ok wow! just wow! 😂

What happens when you tell someone you like Tommy Robinson... I defended him in a heated discussion with Trisha.

@frankwrighter @PeterMcCormack The only person that "noticed" this, was you.

@PeterMcCormack I had no idea there would be shots of the back of my head. I cut my own hair for remigration reasons and usually reverse out of conversations for (now obvious) ragged rear-hairline reasons. Hairshamed.

Just recorded a monster 3 hours with @frankwrighter - out this Friday.

@ParableoftheA @Cernovich Second place is the first looser. The rest simply competed for the places left.

@Cernovich I’ve read Olympic silver medalists have difficulty coping, viewing their 2nd place finish as loss of the gold—while bronze medalists are happy, viewing 3rd place as a win just by getting on the podium…

Psychologists did tests where they showed that losing hurts way more than winning feels good. Loss aversion. For me it’s the opposite. I shake off losses - black them out completely to the point I don’t remember. Avoiding losses would be a bad strategy for me. I chase wins.

@CryptoMikli at age 31 this is lame, still doing at 41? cut it.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

@JamesMac_Fit Sports, Sports, Sports, outside, Sports,

Dads... I need your advice. As a young dad myself, I’m genuinely worried about my son growing up addicted to screens, phones, games, etc. It feels like EVERYTHING is designed to grab their attention these days. So I want to ask: - How do you actually manage screen time in your house? - What’s worked for you? - What’s failed? Would appreciate real answers from people who’ve been there 🤝

@Brittany_Campos @DangerousThinkg Gen X here, just... The music of our generation 1985-2000 especially in the 90's created the best times. some call it nostalgia, but our music is still being played all over the place even today.

@DangerousThinkg Im not Generation X…but I find their music is much much better!

Current musical artists have been stealing from the 70's, 80's & 90's Particularly Dua Lipa

@QuagmireNigga @MikeIsaac the ending got me good 😂

been obsessed with this maniac for a minute

@EvansVeris @vanillaopinions age?

@vanillaopinions this is the worst decade I have experienced thus far, can't imagine being a teenager and having this be the baseline

the post covid years have truly been so awful

@IM_Aeneas @vanillaopinions Take me back to 1999 man.

@vanillaopinions Take me back to 2019 man

@robprogressive Or you can spend 5 years learning to earn an extra £40k per year for £800,000 (+ inflation) And still have your coffee

Your £3 morning coffee is costing you more than you think £3 a day = £1,095 a year Invest that yearly for 25 years at 8% That’s over £80,000

@AlgodTrading meme coins (outright scams) absolutely killed the industry. everyone went to stocks after that. BTC essentially is a "tech stock"

Must be one of the worst sentiments i’ve seen in crypto since i joined a decade ago Hopes and dreams are lost, everyone realises its a scam and retail rather allocate to stocks than to our vapourware shitcoins We need substance asap

@ausstockchick Were they eating rice with heir fingers too?

I was at a nice restaurant in Perth last night and it was predominantly boomers. But one thing got me… A table of people sat there sharing a couple of dishes between five of them. I won’t say where they are from but not here. The men sat down with beanies on inside. We really have hit a new low in society. #ausbiz

@russellcrowe Tuscany

Where am I now?

@lamps_apple How long did you spend there? recommended roadmap?

“I'm just going to put it out there. Once you have been travelling around America for a substantial amount of time, when you come home, it is a very strange and slightly, truthfully, depressing feeling, okay? Traveling around America really opened up my eyes, really allowed me to see how I could be living, and just how many opportunities there are, and how many different amazing places there are, all in one country. Like, since I've been back home in the UK, I haven't felt like myself, which sounds so crazy. I now live for that adventure, that crazy lifestyle, that meeting new people, seeing new people every day, and I just long for it. And in America, it is so amazing. Seriously, Americans, what have you done to me? I need to come back in October, at the end of October, back to America. I can't wait. It's really kerfuffled me coming home from America. It has kerfuffled me.”

@abysmal_pepto @signulll exactly.

The guy in the pic is literally a multiple-time olympic medalist, and a lot of other participants are peak olympic-tier athletes too. I don't see how it would be possible for them to perform worse on PEDs than their usual selves. Like, that's the whole point of the enhanced games. It ain't to compare roided out normies to (sorta) natty professional atheletes. It is to see how much extra performance can be achieved by letting people who are already professional athletes use PEDs.

the most interesting outcome of these games is if the enhanced athletes don’t perform at even olympic level. everything else seems pretty priced in. this would effectively mean elite performance is mostly genetic ceiling + decade of matching brain to muscles + recovery infrastructure, & the chemistry itself is a 3-5% if at all. peds might give you more raw material (muscle, recovery, red blood cells, etc) but maybe the software matters way more.

@farmermickii @Crashman_X Not blaming anyone, these are sarcastic statements (we hear) echoed in realism depending which way the market swings.

Hey Australia - 30%... Canada inches closer to a lost decade for house prices after factoring in inflation. What a disaster. Sydney Melbourne Brisbane Perth

@TrungTPhan Never thought I would see someone with a wider neck that Iron Mike, yet here we are.

Enhanced Games athlete in photo is James “The Missile” Magnussen. Australian swimmer with an Olympic silver medal. Said he’d “juice to the gills” if offered $1m to break 50m freestyle record of 20.88. Enhanced Games agreed. This vid of him is most viewed on its YouTube channel and top comment is incredible: “you can see his back from his front”. Absolute tank. 6’6 and will weigh ~250lbs for the swim. For the inaugural Enhanced Games this weekend, Magnussen will also wear a full-body polyurethane super swimming suit that was banned after 2008 Beijing Olympics (he’s been training and doping at a facility in LV).

@TheBorisBecker Boris, I am 46 now and you were my first ever sports hero, I was then around 7 years old. (Wimbledon days) Congrats on the award for the book, I will look forward to reading it.

Wow… I really did not expect this. For most of my life, people have judged me very publicly. First as a tennis player, then later as a person. Sometimes fairly, sometimes unfairly, but always publicly. This book was the first time I truly told my story in my own words. Completely honestly. What has touched me most over the last year has been hearing from readers around the world who connected with it on a human level. Not because of tennis, but because life can humble all of us at some point. To have the book recognised with the International Sports Book of the Year award in London, alongside such strong competition, honestly means more to me than I can properly express. Thank you to everyone who read it, supported it and believed in me. A special thank you to my wife Lilian for collecting the award on my behalf at The Oval, and to my family who stood beside me through everything. Very grateful. 🙏🏼📚

@TRobinsonNewEra Welcome to the United Kingdom.

Disgusting scenes tonight as an auditor going about his business showing everyone the coaches used to plant invaders around the UK, is attacked by a group of Somalis!

@PaulineHansonOz @GreenTyler27 yikes

@GreenTyler27 Don’t forget the 167 tonnes they DID sell in 1997

The irony here is brutal. Back in 2023, when Australian gold was around the A$3,000–A$3,200/oz area, there were Aussie economists (if you can call them that) openly calling for the RBA to dump its gold reserves. Even calling gold rubbish. Fast forward to today and Gold/AUD is sitting around A$6,350/oz on your chart. Australia’s RBA still holds roughly 80 tonnes of gold. Now that means: In late 2023, the reserve was worth roughly ~A$7 billion (as Koukoulas referenced). Today, the same reserve is worth closer to ~A$16–17 billion AUD depending on spot pricing. So had Australia followed that advice and liquidated the reserve back then, the country would likely have missed out on roughly: ~A$9–10 billion in additional reserve value. And that’s before considering: The currency debasement risk, geopolitical instability, sovereign debt stress globally and the fact central banks worldwide are actually BUYING gold, not dumping it. Over just the last six months alone, Gold/AUD has surged dramatically: roughly from the low-to-mid A$5,000s to over A$6,300+ That’s approximately: 20–30% appreciation in six months, depending on the exact starting point. Which is extraordinary for a reserve asset. The deeper issue is philosophical: gold is not primarily there to generate yield like a growth asset. It’s monetary insurance. Countries don’t hold gold because it compounds like tech stocks. They hold it because fiat systems periodically become unstable, governments overspend, currencies weaken and then in turn bond markets revolt. And ironically, the more fiscally reckless governments become globally, the more valuable gold tends to get. The “pet rock” ended up outperforming a huge amount of conventional assets while protecting sovereign balance sheets at the exact moment debt loads and bond volatility exploded worldwide.
