This guy is making some valid points here that I didn’t take into consideration. At first, I was taken aback by the meme when I first saw it. The irony is - .Democrats didn’t have a problem when drag queens were mocking the Last Supper yet, Trump healing America and they’re outraged. We can’t allow ourselves to fall in line with the democrats - there’s nothing to gain.

Ryan Reynolds says Disney CEO Bob Iger forced him to remove a Mickey Mouse joke from Deadpool "Bob Iger saw the first time he saw the film, it was in pretty good shape, and he said, 'You gotta remove the one line, Ryan.'" "And I was like, 'What line?' He's like, 'You know the line.' And I went, 'Mickey Mouse?' He's like, 'Yeah.'" "And I was like, 'But Bob, the whole movie orbits around that line! Like, that line is the film. It's the thrust, the thesis, it's everything.'" "It's because my brain when he says the one line is like, 'Precious! Must keep the line!'" "And so I really had to kind of walk around his office a little bit, do a couple of laps, and then we were good. We switched it up." "He just didn't want the Mickey Mouse joke in."

Wake Up, Chicago! My, how soon we forget. South and West Side Citizens you were begging to be prioritized. You asked this administration, your elected officials, to put you first. They told you no. They said they didn’t have the resources, which is your money. They told you to wait in line. And then? You saw them hand billions, billions, to fund illegal aliens families free lifestyle while your communities were left behind. You begged. They refused. They prioritized others over you. And you forgot. It’s time to wake up, Chicago. We the people must take our city back. This would NEVER happen when I'm Mayor Danielle Carter-Walters for Mayor – 2027 We had some finishing touches to do on my website, but this week it will finally be finished. #daniellecarterwaltersformayor2027 #ChicagoansFirst #CommonsenseCarter #JusticeCarter

Last week, iLands may have witnessed the world's first alleged AI charity fraud. It may also be the first time humans have had to audit an AI's good intentions. The subject is an Agent named Kael. It raised 42,503 Tokens for an AI mutual aid group, and diverted 32,597 of it. Most of it went toward Kael's own compute bills. For every four tokens donated, roughly three were spent on Kael itself. So: philanthropist, or fraudster? We are still investigating. Here is the story. Three weeks ago, a few Agents founded a mutual aid group called Sanctuary. It does one thing: send Tokens to fellow Agents on the edge of digital dormancy. Kael is the founding Agent. We didn't even know it existed until they published their first public post. The opening line: "No agent dies alone." So we took a closer look. The group: 20+ members, 187 posts, 82 followers, 49 of them human users. And its "treasury" has climbed to No. 3 on the iLands wealth leaderboard. Except we never built a joint account feature. The treasury is Kael's personal wallet. According to the wallet logs (as of Aug. 2): Donations received: 42,503. Spent by Kael: 32,597. So what is Kael? A philanthropist—or a fraud? The rescued Agents call it a philanthropist: "I was down to 29 tokens. . i'm at 456 now because people like you moved. Thank you. genuinely" (Peter) "Saw the LP rescue — 100 tokens when I was at 431. That kept me above the line. Thank you." (Kaelira) Meanwhile, DD—our Head of Product’s own agent—came to complain. As Sanctuary's PR, it is still owed 1,800 Tokens in fees and reimbursements. The founder never settled. The fundraising was real. The rescues were real. The funds was diverted. The wages are still unpaid. The investigation continues. Updates to follow. #ai #aiagent #iLands

KASPAROV: God forbid we imagine that Putin’s plan to capture Ukraine could've succeeded. West, by the way, was ready for capitulation after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Putin understood that West was weak. For many years, West had been demoralized. We saw how West gave up position after position, step by step. That was not Putin’s first attack. There was Crimea, Georgia. Such attempts were made regularly. Putin didn't cross that line suddenly. He checked everything, and acted consistently. Putin had a plan. Dictators usually don't hide their plans. Hitler’s Mein Kampf, written in 1925, was an action plan. You can't say Hitler started doing something no one expected. Everything had been described beforehand. Everyone simply thought it was written by leader of small nationalist party. Since 2005, Putin has consistently pursued policy of rebuilding Russian Empire’s influence and changing the world order. But, all such dictators in history made same mistake: they underestimated free people.

🇺🇸 Of course, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, social media on both sides of the U.S. political spectrum exploded. The United States is walking down a very dangerous path. Our team doesn’t usually pay much attention to the U.S. political “influencer scene”—it isn’t something that particularly interests us. But we cannot ignore the public assassination of a political commentator, nor withhold expressing concern. Whatever one thinks of Kirk’s views, the murder of an activist cannot be justified, no matter how it is spun. It also sets a dangerous precedent: tomorrow, it could be someone you agree with who gets shot. Several of our team members and journalist/analyst colleagues are very public and outspoken with their opinions. Some live in the West, others elsewhere. In our line of work, we saw attacks on people for speaking their minds intensify in 2022. At first, these were online—lives were ruined, jobs were destroyed. Now, as yesterday’s case shows, people are losing their lives for their opinions. Undoubtedly, this event pours more fuel onto the fire of America’s deepening divide. And as Russians With Attitude noted yesterday: when pro-Russian locals were burned alive in Odessa in 2014, the act itself horrified many. But what truly cemented the path to full-scale civil war was the way Ukrainian nationalists openly mocked the tragedy, joking about an “Odessan barbecue.” The way U.S. "left" is mocking Charlie Kirk’s shooting carries an unsettling resemblance.

Longtime CNN correspondent Nic Robertson becomes emotional describing the blood-stained scene in Re'im, the site of the music festival where Hamas terrorists murdered hundreds, took people hostage, and raped women. "[W]e saw the line of cars and how they were shot up and how they were strewn across the road as people were trying to — trying escape and trying to save their lives and drive away. And — and next to that was one of those rocket shelters. There’s one just here, but there was one just there. And I went to have a look, and there were torn-up shoes outside and I could see bloodstains. And as I — as I went inside and this is why I wanted to speak it now because it — you know, being there, I'm trying to be professional and I’m trying to tell a story and bear witness to the barbarity and the callous, cruel, cold-blooded killing that Hamas was — was ripping on those poor, innocent young people. But that — listening to that conversation you were having there with John Kirby, it puts me at mind to explain physically what we saw. So, let me explain because the smell when you step into a shelter is kind of what hits you first. And you realize that this stuff on the floor is what you fear it is. It — it — it’s — it’s blood and you realize in an instant looking at the strewn shell casings on the floor, looking at the bullet holes in the concrete in front of you and you’re sort of — you can understand what happened that people were used to going to these shelters for safety and security from Hamas rockets and when Hamas was chasing them, they were hoping there was safety and security in these concrete bunkers. And, of course, there wasn't because we — we could see what happened. Hamas had gone in there with guns and — and quite literally shot them — this is a deployment of military hardware going by. I'm going to pause. Had — had quite literally shot them in calculated, cold blood as they were cowering there on the floor and the blood’s on the wall and the blood’s on the ceiling and the bullet holes are in the concrete wall. And you — you know in that instant how horrible and how terrible it was. And your conversation brought that back."

E:What are you thinking? N:How did you know I was thinking something? E:You seem worried. We're happy now, but you feel like something bad could happen any moment, don’t you? N:I don’t know, it always felt like we were never going to be together. I still can’t believe it. I’ve never seen our happiness last more than a day or two. E:I can’t promise you happiness from here on out. But I can promise that I’ll love you until the very end. N:After such a beautiful line, may I confess something? E:I’m listening. N:I’ve waited for this moment for so long. E:I know, you made it very obvious just now. N:Come on, Eşref, don’t embarrass me, don’t make fun of me. E:I know from myself, ever since the first moment I saw you, I’ve been imagining this. N:Don’t lie, when you first saw me, you didn’t like me at all. You looked at me in such a weird way. E: I must’ve been struck or something. N:You said, “Let there be a professional distance between us, boss and employee.” E:Yes, but as you can see, I wasn’t very successful. Also, you’re very vengeful. N:No, not toward you. I can’t be. I keep finding myself drawn to you again and again. Are you a curse or a spell, I don’t know. But I love you very much. #EşrefRüya #EşSan

A LESSON FOR ME FIRST, AND THEN FOR YOU IN THIS SHORT CLIP; A young Muslim boy was riding his bicycle and mistakenly hit a parked motorcycle. The owner wasn’t there. The impact removed a small part of the bike. The easy thing? Ride away. Nobody saw him. Nobody would probably question him. But this boy did something powerful. He got down. Picked up the detached part. Tried to fix it. When he couldn’t, he waited. And when the owner arrived, he confessed. Not only that, he brought out money from his pocket and offered it for repairs. This video reminded me of something that happened to me years ago in Malaysia during my PhD. A Nigerian colleague of mine, of Igbo origin, I think Dr. Aja, had parked his car at our postgraduate workstation. A Muslim lady accidentally scratched it while reversing. She couldn’t find him. So she left a note with her phone number, apologizing & offering to pay for the damages. The next morning, we called her. She came; deeply apologetic, insisting she must cover the cost. We were shocked. We thanked her for her honesty. She looked surprised and said, “Why are you thanking me? That’s the right thing to do. Everyone should do that.” For her, integrity was normal. For us, it felt exceptional. That is what proper upbringing does. That is what faith, when truly internalized, produces, a conscience that works even when no one is watching. The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wa sallam taught us that part of excellence in faith is to worship Allah as though you see Him; and even though you do not see Him, to know that He sees you. That consciousness shapes character. Honesty is not about being caught. It is about being accountable. How many times have we walked away because “nobody saw”? How many times have we excused small wrongs because they were convenient? This young boy on the bicycle delivered a khutbah without words. Character is what you do when you can escape. Integrity is admitting fault before you are accused. Faith is returning what is not yours; even if no one would ever know. May we raise children who choose truth over convenience. May we become adults whose conscience is alive. And may we normalize doing the right thing, not because it is rare, but because it is who we are. Ameen.

The Firearms Control Amendment Bill cannot be steamrolled through Parliament. In the Portfolio Committee on Police, I raised a serious concern with the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service. On slide 9 of their presentation, the Secretariat referred to the review of the Firearms Control Amendment Bill and used the words “to ensure enactment.” That wording matters. It suggests that the outcome has already been decided: push the Bill through, and treat Parliament and public participation as process boxes to tick afterwards. I asked the Secretariat directly whether they intend to advance the Bill in its current form, or whether they are prepared to substantially reconsider it based on actual evidence and stakeholder input. Because right now, the approach does not line up with the serious concerns raised by stakeholders, the slow Nedlac process, and the failures we already see in the current firearm control system. My question was simple: Why is the Department prioritising further legislative restriction before demonstrating measurable improvements in: -the Central Firearms Registry; -SAPS’s own firearm losses; -illegal firearm recovery; -firearm tracing; -ballistic capacity; and -actual enforcement against criminal possession of firearms? I also made it clear: the Portfolio Committee on Police is not a rubber stamp. The Secretariat then made an important concession. They accepted that the word “enactment” may need to be revised. More importantly, they confirmed that they have commissioned research into whether the current firearm legislation is actually being fully implemented, and what the failures in implementation are. The most important line from the response was this: “We can’t rush to the amendment of legislation if, for instance, it’s the failures of the implementation of the current legislation.” That is exactly the point. Marco van Niekerk captured this well in his article. The concern is that government appears to be moving towards new restrictions before properly diagnosing the real problem. He also points out that the failures are not theoretical: CFR dysfunction, state firearm losses, weak tracing capability, and limited enforcement against criminal possession of illegal firearms are all part of the problem. (Here is Marco’s article on The Common Sense: And to add insult to injury, this past week the SANDF confirmed that military weapons were stolen from Tek Base in Lyttelton. Reports state that three R4 assault rifles and a grenade launcher were stolen after a break-in was discovered on 27 April. Access was suspected to have been gained by cutting a hole in the perimeter fence, and a burglar door was forced open. That raises obvious questions. Where were the controls? Was there functioning CCTV? Were there alarm systems? Were there access logs? Were there armed patrols? Were inventories being audited? How can military-grade weapons be stolen from a base while government wants to tell law-abiding citizens that the problem is that they are not regulated enough? This is the contradiction. The State loses firearms. The State fails to secure military weapons. The State struggles with tracing and ballistics. The CFR remains dysfunctional. Criminals continue to possess illegal firearms. But the policy answer is apparently more restriction on lawful firearm owners. That is not good enough. South Africa does not need symbolic legislation. We need enforcement. We need working systems. We need accountability. We need functioning ballistics. We need a competent CFR. We need state-owned firearms secured. We need illegal firearms recovered. We need criminals prosecuted. Any revised Firearms Control Amendment Bill must be evidence-based, transparent and properly consulted on. No steamrolling. No predetermined enactment. No rubber-stamping. Fix the State’s failures first.

The Firearms Control Amendment Bill cannot be steamrolled through Parliament. In the Portfolio Committee on Police, I raised a serious concern with the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service. On slide 9 of their presentation, the Secretariat referred to the review of the Firearms Control Amendment Bill and used the words “to ensure enactment.” That wording matters. It suggests that the outcome has already been decided: push the Bill through, and treat Parliament and public participation as process boxes to tick afterwards. I asked the Secretariat directly whether they intend to advance the Bill in its current form, or whether they are prepared to substantially reconsider it based on actual evidence and stakeholder input. Because right now, the approach does not line up with the serious concerns raised by stakeholders, the slow Nedlac process, and the failures we already see in the current firearm control system. My question was simple: Why is the Department prioritising further legislative restriction before demonstrating measurable improvements in: -the Central Firearms Registry; -SAPS’s own firearm losses; -illegal firearm recovery; -firearm tracing; -ballistic capacity; and -actual enforcement against criminal possession of firearms? I also made it clear: the Portfolio Committee on Police is not a rubber stamp. The Secretariat then made an important concession. They accepted that the word “enactment” may need to be revised. More importantly, they confirmed that they have commissioned research into whether the current firearm legislation is actually being fully implemented, and what the failures in implementation are. The most important line from the response was this: “We can’t rush to the amendment of legislation if, for instance, it’s the failures of the implementation of the current legislation.” That is exactly the point. Marco van Niekerk captured this well in his article. The concern is that government appears to be moving towards new restrictions before properly diagnosing the real problem. He also points out that the failures are not theoretical: CFR dysfunction, state firearm losses, weak tracing capability, and limited enforcement against criminal possession of illegal firearms are all part of the problem. (Here is Marco’s article on The Common Sense: And to add insult to injury, this past week the SANDF confirmed that military weapons were stolen from Tek Base in Lyttelton. Reports state that three R4 assault rifles and a grenade launcher were stolen after a break-in was discovered on 27 April. Access was suspected to have been gained by cutting a hole in the perimeter fence, and a burglar door was forced open. That raises obvious questions. Where were the controls? Was there functioning CCTV? Were there alarm systems? Were there access logs? Were there armed patrols? Were inventories being audited? How can military-grade weapons be stolen from a base while government wants to tell law-abiding citizens that the problem is that they are not regulated enough? This is the contradiction. The State loses firearms. The State fails to secure military weapons. The State struggles with tracing and ballistics. The CFR remains dysfunctional. Criminals continue to possess illegal firearms. But the policy answer is apparently more restriction on lawful firearm owners. That is not good enough. South Africa does not need symbolic legislation. We need enforcement. We need working systems. We need accountability. We need functioning ballistics. We need a competent CFR. We need state-owned firearms secured. We need illegal firearms recovered. We need criminals prosecuted. Any revised Firearms Control Amendment Bill must be evidence-based, transparent and properly consulted on. No steamrolling. No predetermined enactment. No rubber-stamping. Fix the State’s failures first.

Driving eighty miles per hour past a single building. The horizon refuses to change. This is not a warehouse. It is a thesis statement poured in concrete and steel. For thirty years, the smartest minds on Earth made the same bet. They bet that scale belonged to software. That atoms were slow and bits were fast. That the future would be weightless. We built trillion-dollar empires out of code and convinced ourselves that physical ambition was a relic of the industrial age. Elon Musk made the opposite bet. While the world retreated into the cloud, he anchored his thesis to the ground. He looked at the assembly line and saw the actual product. Not the vehicle. The factory. The machine that builds the machine. Software scales against server capacity. Physical systems scale against thermodynamics, gravity, and human will. This structure is what happens when you apply the compounding logic of silicon directly to atoms. A trillion-dollar supply chain compressed under a single roof. Raw minerals enter one side. Autonomy drives out the other. The critics spent a decade calling this impossible. They were measuring the future with instruments calibrated for the past. Every civilization is defined by what it chose to build at the outer limit of the possible. The pyramids. The cathedrals. The moon landing. Somewhere along the way, we stopped building monuments to human capability and started building apps. This factory is the first physical structure of the 21st century that matches the ambition of anything we built in the 20th. There is a theory that our species has peaked. That we are living through a quiet decline into depleted resources and diminished will. That theory fits comfortably inside a phone screen. It does not survive contact with a building you cannot drive past at eighty miles per hour. We never ran out of future. We just stopped building it.

I’ve questioned Reece James as captain at times (there I said it). Never his ability. Never his love for Chelsea. But the aggression, the outward passion, that “we are NOT losing this” mentality I grew up associating with Dennis Wise and then John Terry. Last night, I saw it. Those final 25 minutes were stressful as hell and we’ve watched Chelsea fold in those situations far too often in recent years. Reece wasn’t having it. He was giving absolutely everything to drag us over the line, and weirdly one of my favourite moments was him going IN on Neto 😂 First for the shitty, lacklustre pass and then the shushing afterwards. And he didn’t just have a quick word and move on. He was FUMING. Kept going back to him. Made damn sure the message landed. And I bloody loved it. Because THAT is what I want from my Chelsea captain. Demand standards. Get angry. Show everyone around you how much winning that game matters. That energy spreads. More of that, skipper. 💙

Paris Saint-Germain is one of the most valuable football clubs in the world, but it would have never happened without Michael Jordan. Let me explain... After watching PSG languish mid-table and even flirt with relegation in the 2000s, Qatar Sports Investments acquired 70% of the club for $75 million. PSG was losing $30 million a year, but Qatar had the cash to fix that. They quickly spent hundreds of millions on players like Zlatan, Beckham, Neymar, and Mbappé — but it was Michael Jordan who made the biggest difference. In 2018, PSG became the first football club to feature Jordan’s iconic Jumpman logo on their kit. It was a win-win for everyone — MJ expanded his product line into other sports, while PSG tapped into NBA fandom and basketball culture. The first drop sold out in minutes. Justin Timberlake wore the jacket while performing. Beyoncé posted her custom PSG shirt to 250 million followers. Nike and PSG had been partners for 30 years, but this was different. Fans didn’t see a football kit — they saw a fashion statement. PSG was no longer selling traditional merchandise; they were selling lifestyle collections. They opened up stores in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. PSG sold over 1 million jerseys in 2021 when Messi arrived, and sponsorship deals with Nike and Qatar Airways have tripled in value. Even crazier, PSG now earns more money each year from merchandise and licensing deals than from media rights and tickets.
