@RayDalio 100% an Existential Survival Puzzle 🧩🪐 Spot On

There is nothing more important than understanding how reality works and how to deal with it. The state of mind you bring to this process makes all the difference. I have found it helpful to think of my life as if it were a game in which each problem I face is a puzzle I need to solve. By solving the puzzle, I get a gem in the form of a principle that helps me avoid the same sort of problem in the future. Collecting these gems continually improves my decision making, so I am able to ascend to higher and higher levels of play in which the game gets harder and the stakes become ever greater. #principleoftheday

Does anyone at @Discovery_SA Insure actually operate a vehicle on South African roads? :-) Here is a free idea. Constant warnings of "heavy breaking" should be overlaid with real-time traffic data for every Taxi, with insured drivers EARNING points for avoiding the 100-odd collisions we face daily.

@JamieWall2 Agreed👏🏻 Only concerning standout for the 6N this year was the really high scores in nearly every game. Normal ?

That Ireland v Scotland game had some of the most high quality footy you'll see this year...those first two tries were outstanding

Gengey - as a staunch Saffer supporter - i need to say this…. This is an extremely talented England side 👌🏻 Proper grunt up front, excitingly powerful ball carriers, and a pacey bristling young backline. Game changers across the park. Last night England played some fantastic rugga - and showed what they are truly capable of - kudos👏🏻 I have watched your own game for some time now. Best player of the B&I Lions tour imo (yes - Finn was exceptional too). I admire the way you play the game, and how you carry yourself off the field of play. It is no nonsense, respectful and focussed. You knuckle down and get on with it. An old school measure of intelligence, brute strength & skill. Most refreshingly standout is your humility. You would be my first choice England Captain in a heartbeat If the rest of this England team can follow your lead - stop the bum slapping at every play, end the countless premature celebrations & stop this obsession with self aware posing while scoring - then maybe this England Team can reach Greatness. Until then, i fear you are an isolated standout traditional rugby warrior, amongst celebrity wannabees🏉 For the love of Rugga - Cmon England 🇬🇧

The support the fans have shown through out this campaign regardless of results has been incredible, we didn’t achieve what we wanted but thank you, we appreciate you.

Tyson became HW Champ in 86’ - youngest Ever. Up until 92 he was unbeatable - but by then he waa caught in the trappings of fame & chaos🌪️ and he had lost his mentor Cus. Holyfield in the mid 90’s & Lewis in the 2000’s was NOT Prime Tyson. Both Legends - but they both lose to Tyson pre 1990🥊💥

@WordsmithMarcJ @ringmagazine Except lewis, holyfield and who else lol? Usyk has more then a chance to beat him. I'd say he takes a points decion or late stoppage.

Mike Tyson tells The Ring he would've loved the challenge of facing Oleksandr Usyk in his prime 🥊 How do you think a fight between these two all-time greats would've gone❓ Download The Ring's new mobile app and sign up for FREE 📲➡️ bit.ly/m/TheRingMagaz…

@NotTheirScript @benshapiro @Piers @megynkelly Well said ✅

Notice the pattern: When people can’t match @benshapiro intellect, they start attacking his height. @Piers @megynkelly Two massive media platforms. Entire TV studios. Millions of followers. And the best rebuttal they can come up with is middle-school insults about a man’s height. If that’s your argument, you already lost the debate.

@BlessedMMA Legend 👊🏻

The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Saturday night was not my night. Sorry to all my family, friends and fans that I have let down. Shout out to Olivera for doing his thing. All class so nothing but love to him. No excuses from this side and there never will be. I’ve been here before I know the work I need to do to get back to where I wanna be. We are far from done. See you guys at the top. #blessedexpress

@JonnyBones @arielhelwani Main Event aside - its a really disappointing Card Champ😑 The UFC got this One Wrong imo You & Perreira and Connor & Chandler as co Main is what this Event demanded. You, Connor & All the loyal fans deserved that for the Legacy you both helped build👊🏻

Hey everyone, I wanted to address Dana White’s comments from this past weekend, because the truth matters to me and the fans. Dana, you were heated about why I’m not on the White House card, but let’s clear something up. My team and I were actually negotiating with the UFC for that fight. Real negotiations. I even came down from my original number, and what was I offered in return ? I was lowballed . Yes, I have arthritis in my hip and it’s painful, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight. So let me get this straight, if I had accepted the lowball offer, suddenly my hip would be fine and I’d be on the White House card? That doesn’t make sense. I even received stem cell treatment last week to get ready for the White House card, and training camp was scheduled to start today. I was preparing to be ready. I understand business deals fall through sometimes, but going out publicly and saying things that aren’t true isn’t right. After everything I’ve given to the UFC , the years, the title defenses, the fights , hearing that I’m “done” is disappointing. Especially when as recently as Friday UFC was calling me trying to get me on that White House card for a much lower number. If the UFC truly feels like I’m done, then I respectfully ask to be released from my contract today. No more spins, no more games. Thank you to the real fans who know what’s up. Bones out.

Saudi Arabia is repurposing The Line in NEOM for AI data centers Original: 170km linear city, 9M residents long-term goal, 1.5M target by 2030 2026 update: Length slashed (some say ~2.4km initial phase), pop goal now <300k by 2030 Not fully cancelled, but residential megastructure heavily deprioritized New direction: Repurposing builds for AI data centers + cloud infra Driver: Massive cost overruns (NEOM from ~$500B to $1.5T+ estimates), delays Fits Vision 2030: Position Saudi as AI powerhouse using renewables + seawater cooling Desert heat concerns are real but addressed with existing tech. Shift from futuristic city to pragmatic AI hub. What do you think?

Its Gladiatorial - the primeval power of giant men & the sublime speed & skill of smaller or medium sized men & women. Simple Its a game for All shapes & sizes - and the forward power battle for set piece dominance is what sets it apart. League is One Dimensional ! Union is an unpredictable molotov cocktail of physical contest meets skill, speed & agility💪🏻⚡️💨 Long Live Union🏉

Rugby League is more marketable than Rugby Union. But it’s not because of scrums. With all this talk about "depowering" scrums to "save" the game, we need to have an honest conversation about what actually makes rugby marketable. Let’s be real. Rugby League is objectively more marketable to a global audience. It’s streamlined. It’s high-speed. There is zero nuance. You run, you get tackled, you stand up, you do it 5 more times. You turn the ball over. A few years back took some American family members to Eden Park to watch the Blues vs the Stormers. If you thought they'd like the tries, the wide passes, the highlight reels, well then you (like me) were wrong. They spent the entire first half staring at Eben Etzebeth. They watched two 130kg men grab another 120kg man by the hem of his shorts and launch him into the air to catch a ball. They couldn't believe it. To an outsider, a lineout isn't "dead time" it’s a hook, an attraction, a moment that sets our game apart from the rest. When it came to scrums, they didn't care about "binding" or "hinging." They didn't even care about the number of resets. They were simply mesmerised by 8 absolute units pushing with all their might against 8 more. Men with thighs the size of an ordinary human's entire body, contorting themselves into some sort of human tank and smashing themselves into the other forward pack. And finally, my family was baffled by the "hooligan's game played by gentlemen" culture of rugby. They saw 23 guys spend 80 minutes trying to physically destroy each other, only to hug and sit down for a beer afterwards. No trash talk. No "look at me" celebrations. Just a handshake and a "thanks, sir" to the ref. Rugby shouldn't try to compete with League on "simplicity." We will lose. Instead, we should market what sets us apart. Market the fact that we lift giants into the air. Market the 200kg squats. Market the fact that we have 1 tonne of human muscle machine pushing against another tonne. And market the fact when all is said and done, our heros shake hands, drink beer, and hang out with each other's families. These are the moments that decides the fate of nations. These are the moments that make our game like no other.

@PeterSchiff @Vivek4real_ Exactly🤦🏻‍♂️

@Vivek4real_ The Chinese are too smart to lean into Bitcoin. Maybe their leaders know something about Bitcoin that are leaders don't.

🇺🇸 VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE SAID, “CHINA DOESN'T LIKE BITCOIN. WE SHOULD BE ASKING OURSELVES, WHY IS THAT?” “WHY IS OUR BIGGEST ADVERSARY SUCH AN OPPONENT OF BITCOIN?” “IF THE CCP IS LEANING AWAY FROM BITCOIN, THEN MAYBE THE US SHOULD BE LEANING IN TO BITCOIN."
