Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"

A reminder of the World Cup schedule & times if you are from the UK. A total of 42 out of the 72 group stage games will be starting at 11pm or later. 😴🕰️

The most beautiful moment in the world ❤️ The joy of a little one seeing their mother’s face for the very first time.

FIFA went to China demanding $300 million, CCTV told FIFA you scheduled nearly all the games from 12 AM to 6 AM East Asian time, why on earth would we pay that much? FIFA then came back around begging for $150 million. CCTV told them $60 million or bounce, GTFO. Excellent negotiation skills in practice. And also a sign on how excessive eurocentrism will lead you to having constant Ls in the modern era.

¿Quién es la mujer sentada hoy entre Elon Musk y Tim Cook? Se trata de Zhou Qunfei, fundadora de Lens Technology y la mujer más rica de China. Su historia es increíble: nació en la pobreza extrema en Hunan, perdió a su madre a los 5 años y su padre quedó ciego. A los 16, abandonó la escuela para pulir vidrio en una fábrica. Trabajaba de día y estudiaba de noche hasta que, con sus ahorros, montó un taller familiar. Su visión cambió el mundo: apostó por el vidrio para celulares y se convirtió en la proveedora clave de Motorola y, luego, de Apple para el primer iPhone. Hoy, no solo domina las pantallas táctiles; su empresa fabrica componentes para Tesla y robots, áreas donde Musk y Cook dependen de su tecnología. De trabajadora rural a figura clave en la cumbre China-EE.UU. ¡Una prueba de que el esfuerzo propio rompe cualquier brecha!

Chinese carmakers just added crab-walk mode: all four wheels steer so the vehicle glides diagonally like a spider. No more awkward three-point turns in tight spots. This is the kind of party trick that makes me wonder why it took so long.

🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on FIFA turning the World Cup Final into a Super Bowl circus: “Football is losing its soul little by little. A World Cup Final is supposed to be the purest form of football, pressure, intensity, emotion, tactics, suffering, history. Not a halftime concert made for social media clips and celebrities in vip seats. When you play at the highest level, your body is programmed around rhythm. Fifteen minutes. That’s what every footballer in the world has known since childhood. Your muscles stay warm, your concentration stays locked in, your emotions stay alive. Now imagine players sitting there for 25 minutes during the biggest game of their lives because FIFA wants a bigger TV spectacle. People think footballers are robots. They are not. Momentum is real. If one team is dominating before halftime, that long break can completely kill the intensity of the game. It changes everything tactically and mentally. You cool down physically, you lose adrenaline, and then people expect players to immediately return playing at 100 miles per hour. And let’s be honest here, this is not about football, it’s about money and entertainment. They want football to become the Super Bowl. More commercials, more performances, more headlines, more celebrities. But football became the biggest sport in the world without all of that. The game itself was enough. The dangerous part is that if the final quality drops or players get injured because of these changes, fans will attack the players first. They will say certain stars disappeared in the second half or failed under pressure, without understanding the conditions were completely changed for a television show. For me, the World Cup Final should feel sacred. Ninety minutes of war between the best players on earth. Not a pause long enough for the world to forget the match is even happening.”

Lo grandiosa que es @Shakira definitivamente, solo ella sabe hacer unos himnos mundialeros 🙌🏼🇨🇴👑

The blind leading the blind Clowns running the circus A fool teaching fools Steering without a compass

Investing RM200 million in a troubled startup company and losing everything in just two years is highly unusual. KWAP idiots should be investigated by @SPRMMalaysia but do they have the skill set to investigate elite school graduates of GLCs and GLICs? #eFishery

Not every artist gets a welcome like this when they land… but moments like these are rare ✨ When the Backstreet Boys arrived in Kazakhstan, something special happened right at the airport — a reminder of how powerful their music still is 🎶 How many songs can spark this kind of feeling decades later?

THIS IS BADD: 🇯🇵 Japan just intervened to defend the yen. Yields at 27-year highs. Oil at $120. Inflation rising. The Bank of Japan is out of options. The last time Japan intervened to defend the yen: Markets crashed brutally across the board. $4 trillion in Japanese carry trades at risk. When Japan intervenes capital flows home. Out of U.S. stocks. Out of crypto. Into yen. Smart money is not waiting to find out what happens next.

🚨 AREA 51 JUST LIT UP 17 earthquakes in less than 24 hours. Right after talk of UFO file releases. Natural activity… or activity underground? Something doesn’t add up.

This is huge. China and Indonesia today fully linked their national QR payment networks. This isn’t just about convenience. Both central banks call it a deliberate move to bypass the dollar. Transactions settle directly in rupiah and yuan under their local currency settlement framework. No USD in the chain. A Chinese tourist can now scan an Indonesian QRIS code with Alipay or UnionPay and pay like a local at over 39 million merchants. Indonesians can do the same in China with their 33 local e-wallets. Why it matters: China-Indonesia trade hit ~$140 billion last year. Switching to local currencies saves businesses 2-3% on forex and hedging costs. Across ASEAN, nearly 45% of China trade is already settling in RMB — and it’s growing fast. This QR link takes it from big commodity deals down to everyday retail: coffee, hotels, shopping. Who’s already on board (ASEAN focus): • Cambodia: Full two-way • Indonesia: Just went live • Thailand: PromptPay connected (Chinese tourists scanning) • Vietnam: NAPAS linked, full two-way soon • Malaysia & Singapore: Inbound for Chinese visitors • Laos: Digital RMB pilots active Beyond ASEAN: Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Turkey, UAE, Argentina (full national QR coverage), and Brazil are in various stages. China’s CIPS now reaches 122 countries/regions. The bigger picture: One-way links are becoming two-way, then full integration. Central banks are testing mBridge for CBDC-based settlement. A parallel financial infrastructure where the dollar is no longer the only option. 39 countries have local currency settlement deals. QR systems are spreading fast. This is de-dollarization happening in the background, one scan at a time.

In the final game of his career, Japanese legend Tomoaki Makino and his manager decided to let his wife get subbed in wearing his shirt and take a penalty in honor of him😭

CHINA JUST DREW A LINE ON AI A court in China has ruled it ILLEGAL to replace human workers with AI purely to cut costs. They have put responsibility back on corporations. They can’t automate just to boost margins while workers are pushed out. China has decided that wages, fairness, and employment aren’t optional. And that’s a big shift. While the west races to replace labour as fast as possible, viewing AI as a free-for-all… China has set a precedent that profit alone isn’t enough and corporations must answer to society.
