Did you know that the owner of Manchester City Sheikh Mansour is smuggling weaponry into Sudan and treating RSF fighters in a hospital he set up through his charities? He’s playing an outsized role in the genocide in Sudan. Textbook sportswashing.

A protest is taking place outside of #ManCity’s Etihad Stadium this afternoon over the UAE’s involvement in the ongoing conflict in Sudan. 🎥 @jamesbenge

Trump: "It helps when you know that borders are not racist, speech is not violence, America is good, terrorists are bad, men can never become women, police are not criminals, and criminals are not victims."

@NA1907_ Ederson also concedes to Kulusevski earlier

Does Ederson save that? I’ll answer: no he doesn’t

@Steyn_Remover Die man weet

Philip Burger > Bryan Habana @charlesG_15 🤷‍♂️

Football knowledge test. Guess the player. Level: Hard. Prize: Free shoutout.

@442Wide Will never look at Harvey Elliot the same again

Does that mean the England are the best team in the world now?

Nearly killed my mate playing golf today 😂

The most iconic moment in Premier League history? 🤔 twitter.com/historyinmemes…

The problem with this slippery slope is always about who gets to define what is hate speech and what is not.

@christiandean_ How is it possible to go all-in "until you win"?

In the Elon Musk biography, Isaacson tells of a poker game where Musk went all-in every time until he won. It's an analogy for how Musk - in Peter Thiel's words - "understands something about risk that everybody else doesn't", and how he's able to create companies that seemed impossible to everyone else. I think the thing that Musk understands about risk that everybody else doesn't is what David Deutsch calls The Principal of Optimism. P.O.O: Anything which is not prohibited by the laws of physics is possible given sufficient knowledge. Musk has often referred to the laws of physics being the only constraint, like here: x.com/elonmusk/statu… Why is this interesting? Personally, I think the Principal of Optimism is one of the most significant discoveries in Philosophy made this century. Anytime you face a difficult problem, you can ask: "Do the laws of physics say solving this problem is impossible?" If the answer is no, then you know that there's only one thing in between you and the solution: knowledge. And thanks to Karl Popper in the 20th century, we know the only way to create knowledge is through trial and error. Conjecture and refutation. Guess and check, and guess again. You see this philosophy in action at SpaceX. They got through 3 or 4 rockets before landing their first Falcon in 2015. Trial and error. And we all watched recently as they launched and blew up the biggest rocket to ever leave the Earth, yet calling it a "success" for simply detaching Starship from the booster. Guess and check, and guess again. And so in this way, even the most seemingly outlandish problems like landing (or catching) rockets falling from space become tractable issues to be solved by a small dedicated team. While all the greatest entrepreneurs are singular individuals, on a deeper level, they all share a common trait: they don't take anyone's word for it. The only constraint they impose on themselves is that imposed on them by the laws of physics. They're all guided by the same principal. The Principal of Optimism.

The lesson? When the cadres are not in charge and we select the best people for the job, SA thrives. How would the Springboks have performed if Ramaphosa’s cadre deployment committee chose the team? Get rid of the ANC in 2024, and SA follows the Springboks into greatness.

Same vibes

@JerryCumbie78 @didZachBdroptdy Was also expecting "Dallas" to be on it

Thoughts on the album so far?

@didZachBdroptdy Best written, more I listen the more I like it. Still fell the "leaked" versions I heard a few months ago were better. Don't know why he changed it Spotless my favourite at the moment

@zachlanebryan Would love an album of the song's previous versions that were leaked a few months ago on Youtube @zachlanebryan

tonight !
