The fastest way to change your life is to rip yourself out of your (physical and digital) environment. Change everything overnight. The places you go, the accounts you follow, the info you consume, etc. It's difficult but it absolutely works.

🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.

🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup! We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.

That's why there's 'garbage' in your name!

Zero incidents. One full year. The simplest DEX on Sui is celebrating its first anniversary. This thread contains everything you need to know about Dipcoin. 🧵⇓

Survival tip 101 since we're currently battling banditry and kidnapping: 1. Travel during daylight hours whenever possible. If a journey cannot be completed before dark, the safer option is usually to wait until morning rather than push through. 2. Vary your route daily. Predictability is a kidnapper's greatest tool. If you leave home at the same time, take the same road, and stop at the same fuel station every day, you have done half the work for anyone watching you. 3. Sit with your back to a wall in public spaces. In any restaurant, market, or waiting area, position yourself where you can see entrances and exits. You want to observe without being easily approached from behind. 4. Build relationships with your immediate neighbours. The relationship you build before anything happens is the one that protects you when something does. 5. Keep emergency numbers saved and memorised. Police, local vigilante contacts, trusted community leaders, family. Saved is good. Memorised is better. Your phone may not be in your hand when you need those numbers most. 6. If approached by armed men, do not resist immediately. Trust me, this is painful to write but critical to understand. The first moments of an encounter are when the most violence occurs and compliance in those initial moment buys time for survival and rescue. 7. Never travel alone on isolated roads. There is genuine safety in numbers. Convoys, even informal ones with other vehicles heading the same direction, dramatically reduce risk. 8. Keep a small amount of cash separate from your main wallet. In a robbery situation, handing over something immediately can de-escalate. 9. Teach children what to do, not just what to fear. Children who know to stay low, stay quiet, run to a specific neighbour, or describe vehicles and people are far safer than children who only know that something bad exists. 10. In risk prone areas, avoid displaying wealth visibly in public. Expensive phones, jewellery, large amounts of cash, and flashy vehicles in high-risk areas are targeting signals. 11. If taken, stay calm and observe everything. Direction of travel, sounds, smells, number of captors, languages spoken, routines. Every detail is information and information is so vital for rescue teams. 12. Observe. Observe. And always observe. Strange faces, too much influx of unknown persons or loitering of one particular person - these are usually the regular pattern. 13. Avoiding going to the forest is avoiding 'ya hoo wa'. What are you going there to do? Camping isn't for Nigerians. If societies and living abodes can be this unsafe, is it the forest then secure? 14. Never assume it won't happen to you. Complacency is the quietest risk of all. The people most caught off guard are almost always the ones who had decided, based on nothing, that their area or their routine made them safe. Bookmark and share, you might be saving somebody's life.

Few days ago, Rashford posted this on his insta as a clear dig to Man Utd, as if the united academy never nurtured him and gave him everything to be the player he is today. The fans even stood by him and hyped him up to Ronaldo levels even when he was clearly a Jerome Boateng level. Today, he's been embarrassed by the same club he gave his all to. We don't need him back and he should be shipped to West Ham as a bargain for Matteus Fernandez. Crap!

For those who don't know, this is exactly the Epstein playbook. "I'm going to send your creepy video out there if you don't do what the fvck I want you to do". End.

Excited? I believe I speak for a host of nations and football loving fans the world over when I say we're not excited to have you as a host. Thank you, next world cup please!

The future of snake is in real serious danger.
