We could watch this all day! 👀 Known as Cucaña, this traditional challenge is held during summer festivals in coastal towns across Spain, including the Valencia region. Participants sprint along a greased pole suspended over the water and try to grab a flag at the end. It sounds easy. It isn’t. Most end up in the water within seconds. 💦😅 Would you give it a try? 🤷🏽‍♂️

🪶 Seagull screeching championship held in Belgium The annual European seagull screeching championship took place in the coastal town of De Panne. This year, more than 70 participants from 15 countries competed. Contestants tried to deliver the most accurate imitation of a seagull’s signature call. The jury awarded up to 15 points for sound accuracy and up to 5 points for performance. The event was held in a local pub and drew people of all ages — many showed up in seagull costumes, and each performance was met with applause. “I thought, I don’t want to just do ‘grown-up’ things — I’ll give this a try,” said 41-year-old participant Karin Gronholz from Norway. Organisers say the goal of the contest is to change public perception of seagulls, which are often seen as annoying. There’s no prize money — just glory and bragging rights 🐦

That’s when Trump dropped a bombshell…and this one was sure to ignite controversy, with equal outrage coming from both the left and the right. It was something he’d spoken about during his campaign, but now, it was official. Trump was about to sign an Executive Order BANNING the burning of the American flag, with a penalty of ONE YEAR in prison for offenders. Trump made his point clear before signing: “Would you listen to this? This is very important. Flag burning—all over the country they’re burning flags. All over the world they burn the American flag.” Will Scharf detailed the order’s intent: “What the Executive Order does, sir, it charges your Department of Justice with investigating instances of flag burning.” “And then where there’s evidence of criminal activity, where prosecution wouldn’t fall afoul of the First Amendment and instructs the Department of Justice to prosecute those who are engaged in these instances of flag burning.” Then Trump doubled down on the consequences for those that burn the Stars and Stripes. There would be no exceptions if convicted. “And what the penalty is going to be if you burn a flag, you get one year in jail. No early exits, no nothing. You get one year in jail if you burn a flag.”

The Pentagon has failed its audit for the 8th time in a row. The Pentagon controls nearly $4.65 TRILLION Dollars, but can not account for it. The Pentagon literally doesn't know where the money has gone. The worst part about these audits is that they never go back and cure the previous audits. They just move on to the next year and fail it again as if there's no repercussions. No one gets demoted and no one gets fired. Business as usual... There are so many people that are going to refuse to pay their taxes this year. WE ARE DONE‼️

🚨NEW: Batya Ungar-Sargon on Trump getting SNUBBED for Nobel Peace Prize: "It was, as my people would call it, a shonda — an absolute disgrace." "The prize was announced just 36 hours after the president secured a peace deal to release all of the remaining hostages in Hamas captivity in Gaza. It was an astonishing feat celebrated both in the streets of Gaza and in the streets of Tel Aviv and beyond." "Just consider for a minute what it takes to end a war and to have both sides hail you as a hero! Consider the resistance Trump had to overcome on both sides!" "There's only one way to feel in a moment like this: immense pride as Americans and for what our president has accomplished for humanity. How can this person not have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize!?" "Resentment. It's the only answer. The same kind that engulfs the Democrats equally unable to give him the credit he deserves. Never mind. The Nobel Committee just solidified its irrelevance. Peace, of course, is its own reward." Daily Caller

🚨 “FOOT-CONE FACTORY” VIDEO LEAKS - AND THE INTERNET IS LOSING ITS MIND A viral clip just exposed how some ice cream cones are being made - and it’s one of the most unsanitary things people have ever seen. Barefoot workers. Cones dumped across filthy floors. Stacks being scooped, kicked, sorted, and packaged like this is totally normal. No gloves. No shoes. No hygiene. Just floor-to-mouth manufacturing on an industrial scale. The comments say everything: “Yeah… I’m switching to cups.” “I need to know the BRAND so I can avoid it.” “Why is EVERY food video turning into a fear factor challenge?” “Floor cone? Nah I’m good.” But here’s the part no one wants to think about: If this is what they’re doing ON camera… what do you think happens when nobody’s filming?

Elon Musk: Trump going on lengthy podcasts made a big difference. “I think it made a big difference that President Trump and soon-to-be Vice President Vance went on lengthy podcasts. I think this really makes a difference because people look at Joe Rogan's podcast, which is great, and Lex Fridman's and the All-In Podcast and to a reasonably-minded, smart person who's not hardcore one way or the other, they just listen to someone talk for a few hours and that's how they decide whether you're a good person, whether they like you. This is why I posted on X, nothing would do more damage to Kamala's campaign than going on Joe Rogan because she'd run out of non sequiturs after about 45 minutes. Hours two and three would be a complete melted puddle of nonsense. It would just be absolute game over. That's why she didn't go on. But, on the other hand, Trump, he's there, there's no talking points. He's just being a normal person, having a conversation and doing three hours of Rogan, no problem.” Interview with Tucker Carlson, November 5, 2024

America250 is burying the national time capsule in Philadelphia, and this is one of those moments that makes you stop and think about the size of the American story. A message from 2026 being sealed for future generations, in the city where America’s independence was born, during the 250th birthday of the greatest nation on Earth. This is not just a ceremony. This is a promise across time that America was here, America endured, America still believed in freedom, and America still had people proud enough to preserve its story for those who come after us. While the anti-American crowd tries to tear down history, real Americans are protecting it, honoring it, and sending it forward. 250 years later, the flag still flies and the American story is far from finished. 🇺🇸

S&P just cut Oracle to one notch above junk, and the stock went UP anyway. Think about that for a second... Back in December I told you the AI arms race would keep rewarding capex right up until the moment it didn't, and I pointed straight at Oracle. The stock is now down more than 55% from its high and this week S&P downgraded its credit to the lowest rung of investment grade, which means one more cut and Oracle wears a junk rating for the first time in its history. The downgrade landed because the cash bleed is getting MUCH worse. S&P now sees Oracle burning close to $42 billion in free cash flow next year, nearly double its earlier estimate, with capex rocketing toward $90 billion and a single customer (OpenAI) sitting behind roughly half of that $638 billion backlog. The bond market looked at all of that and reached for insurance. The stock market looked at the exact same company and bid it higher. When those two disagree like this, 45 years in this business has taught me to side with the bondholders every single time. They get paid before shareholders do, so they tend to see the trouble first. And Oracle is now funding this buildout with equity instead of debt, with another $20 billion in stock issuance slated for this year. A company confident in its own cash flows borrows against them. A company bracing for a downgrade dilutes its shareholders instead. Oracle showed you which one it is. If you want to know how to actually make money in a market this dominated by Big Tech narratives, that is what July 22nd is for. 14 elite investors are sharing the specific longs and shorts they are backing with their own capital - for just $99. We entered the golden era of stock picking. Grab your ticket today:

Boom! I have just been gifted 100s hours of war plane chatter across decides. It is quite intense and almost none of it has been digitalized and made public. I will digitize it and make it open source. I will be training YOUR AI in this high value data. It is not just valuable to the AI model for history but also thousands of hours of grace under pressure. These men had extremely high honor and dignity. You will not find this caliber of human interaction on Reddit interactions slurped up by OpenAI models. But you will find it in the AI that I build. — This radio chatter clip is from a Lancaster Bomber which is flying a mission over Germany during World War II. The bomber is attacked by a German fighter later on in the clip. The crew seems to panic as the fighter engages them, and the captain at one point shouts "Okay, don't shout all at once!" Eventually one of the gunners manages to bring down the German fighter.

🚨BREAKING: St. Paul police violated constitutional rights to protect ICE… And a judge just shut it down instantly. Anti-ICE protester, Emily Heather Phillips, was arrested for “disrupting a religious service” outside Cities Church yesterday… Except she wasn’t inside the church, she wasn’t blocking anyone from going to church, and wasn’t doing anything illegal. She was across the street… (as seen in the video) Protesting a pastor, David Easterwood, who also works as an ICE field office director… This was targeted political speech, on public property… and police still arrested her anyway. And somehow that turned into FOUR criminal charges. Then it went to court… and immediately collapsed. The judge’s exact words: “she couldn’t find any probable cause.” No probable cause means this arrest should have never happened. You don’t get to override the First Amendment because someone with power doesn’t like being protested… And you don’t get to arrest people for standing across the street just to protect an ICE official from criticism. That’s using the law as a weapon… and hoping no one notices.

. Thomas Massie went on Tucker Carlson yesterday and told his audience that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security set up its official X account in Israel using an Israeli IP address and an app purchased from the Israeli App Store, and that Congress needs to open an investigation into it. There's just one problem. The claim is based on a screenshot that was fabricated. The image went viral in November showing the Homeland Security page listed as based in Tel Aviv, created July 2008, connected via the Israel App Store, and it got 39 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes before anyone looked closely at it. The screenshot didn't have the gray checkmark that X puts on every single verified government account without exception, and the person who originally posted it later appeared to admit they made the whole thing up. X's own head of product Nikita Bier came out and called it fake news directly, confirming that Homeland Security was deliberately excluded from the location feature for security reasons and never showed any location data at all. A sitting U.S. congressman is calling for a federal investigation based on a screenshot that the person who made it appears to have admitted was fake, and Tucker just let him say it to millions of people. Get this liar out of Congress!

$GRAB Secret Sauce 🧵 How this company will thrive to $300B MC and beyond! It took me a while to gather the material for this thread. I will link down below other threads I talked extensively on all current and future $GRAB services to avoid making this thread too long. It is very important to understand product roadmap on the SuperApp, and how it will make money over the long-term, and transfer that value creation to shareholders. The closest analogy for new investors to understand is Amazon obsession over customers where $AMZN makes a little bit of money on each transaction to break even, but make the most money on Prime Membership. Or Costco obsession over customers where $COST makes 10-15% margin or lower on most products to break even on operation, but to make the most money on Costco membership fees. Jeff Bezos famously said "investors should invest in the company that obsesses customer experiencein the long term, there's never any misalignment between customer interests and shareholder interests!" The TLDR version: Being Customer Obsessed over Competition. We never heard much where Anthony Tan described or bitter about competition. Because Anthony does pay attention to competition, but he is more focused or obsessed on how to serve customers better at the lowest price possible, those that pay for $GRAB services. It is not just a business, it is a mission from first day of $GRAB or formerly known as MyTeksi. Anthony Tan and Co-founder Hooi Ling Tan both met at a class “Business at the Base of the Pyramid.” This class shaped the years of $GRAB success and today mission, creating a valuable business servicing the mass market, the lower income communities. Now, lets start with Customer Obession. $Grab does not see just users as customers, Anthony Tan views drivers, merchants, and partners are customers as well for long term success of the company. This is a big differentiator that contributed to GRAB success today. A. Hyperfocus on users: Grab emphasizes safety, with 99.9% of rides completed without incidents, and offers affordable options like Saver rides (26% of mobility transactions, 1.5X higher order frequency) alongside high-value services like Premium Rides and GrabUnlimited (3.7X more frequent usage, 2X higher retention). This likely enhances user satisfaction and retention, driving revenue growth, as seen in their Q1 2025 earnings of $773 million, up 18% year-over-year. But it does not stop at rides, it translate this obsession into food/grocery/financial and other services. Anthony Tan centered $GRAB success on affordability and reliability over the long-term since its early startup day. Essentially, the long-term TAM for servicing 2- 3 billion people is to get 30-50% of them on GrabUnlimited. Now it is $4.99 a month, will probably be adjusted to $7-$10 adjusted to inflation 10-15 years from now or around $7-$10B or more subscription revenue straight to net income B. Hyperfocus on Merchants: Grab has significantly focused on merchant growth as a core strategy to expand its ecosystem, particularly through its GrabFood, GrabMart, and financial services like GrabFinance. The reason is simple, these merchants/businesses are bringing in user growth. Businesses also pay GRAB on ea transaction very well, and at the same time using Cheap Loan(provided by Grab) to expand, and pay on GrabAds(this will have the highest margin after GrabUnlimited up to 50-60%). Grab also investing heavily on #AI to help merchants with OpenAI and Anthropic partnerships. The impact is unreal with this core strategy, many merchants today have more than 50-60% of its monhtly sales from $GRAB SuperApp(grew from 10-15% in 2021-2022). This approach has positioned Grab as a leader in Southeast Asia’s on-demand market, with significant potential for further expansion as it continues to innovate and optimize C. Hyperfocus on Drivers: In today world, you will never see $uber or Lyft talking about seeing drivers as customers. GRAB is the only company that sees Drivers as customers, and this focus is critical to maintaining a robust supply of driver-partners to meet consumer demand for ride-hailing, food delivery, and other services. Grab has scaled its driver network significantly since going public day with 5-6m registered driver-partners. Expanding rental/low fee fleets to secure drivers, creating stable employment in its current 8 countries. President Ferdinand R. Marcos Bongbong Marcos recently acknowledged $GRAB's significant impact on employment in the Philippines. All of 8 countries Grab operates in, all presidents and PM have praised Grab contribution on employment in their countries. GRAB makes its the company mission to expand more drivers registered on $GRAB SuperApp. Last Fun Fact, GRAB drivers in its 8 market have much higher income than BA degree holders and in many cases x2 or x3 the average salaries due to Grab Dynamic Pricing to bring supply and demand back to lowest price. AKA when demand is mad high, price will be higher to attract more drivers to bring down price. Drivers financial success is Grab long-term success. Conclusion: Grab's SuperApp success, as evidenced by Q1 2025 financials, is tied to putting customers, drivers, and merchants first. Their focus on safety, affordability, financial inclusion, and upskilling creates a robust ecosystem, reflected in increased MTUs, revenue growth, and profitability. The SuperApp will expand to 3 billion people TAM or more over the long term. 1. User Growth(Transactional Users) 2. GrabAds (expanding beyond SuperApp into Physical Grocery/Fleets) 3. GrabUnlimited( Expanding valuable services/features to make it stupid not to have it) Over the long-term, $GRAB will expand beyond SuperApp. Just like when Amazon has some spare computer capacity and decided to rent it out and became the AWS today, which is a behemoth that's now >4 times bigger than its original shopping business. No, I'm not saying $GRAB is the next Amazon. I'm telling you that with this "Secret Sauce" strategy of customer obsession, Anthony Tan can expand to other ventures with the massive FCF+ and profitable SuperApp to fund it. Disclaimer: I do own a large position in the Private Portfolio, and currently 100% on $GRAB on small public portfolio. This is the public portfolio where I contribute $500-$1000 of my own money. This public portfolio is not intended to be just 100% pure $GRAB, but it is the first position. I will try to keep it under 10 companies, and high quality growth businesses ONLY. I will not bother with garbage or hyped businesses where people just hype x10 x100 x1000 next week/year. You can follow others for that. Everything I wrote here is NOT Financial Advice!

The reason is simple, these merchants/businesses are bringing in user growth. Businesses also pay GRAB on ea transaction very well, and at the same time using Cheap Loan(provided by Grab) to expand, and pay on GrabAds(this will have the highest margin after GrabUnlimited up to 50-60%). Grab also investing heavily on #AI to help merchants with OpenAI and Anthropic partnerships. The impact is unreal with this core strategy, many merchants today have more than 50-60% of its monhtly sales from $GRAB SuperApp(grew from 10-15% in 2021-2022). This approach has positioned Grab as a leader in Southeast Asia’s on-demand market, with significant potential for further expansion as it continues to innovate and optimize C. Hyperfocus on Drivers: In today world, you will never see $uber or Lyft talking about seeing drivers as customers. GRAB is the only company that sees Drivers as customers, and this focus is critical to maintaining a robust supply of driver-partners to meet consumer demand for ride-hailing, food delivery, and other services. Grab has scaled its driver network significantly since going public day with 5-6m registered driver-partners. Expanding rental/low fee fleets to secure drivers, creating stable employment in its current 8 countries. President Ferdinand R. Marcos Bongbong Marcos recently acknowledged $GRAB's significant impact on employment in the Philippines. All of 8 countries Grab operates in, all presidents and PM have praised Grab contribution on employment in their countries. GRAB makes its the company mission to expand more drivers registered on $GRAB SuperApp. Last Fun Fact, GRAB drivers in its 8 market have much higher income than BA degree holders and in many cases x2 or x3 the average salaries due to Grab Dynamic Pricing to bring supply and demand back to lowest price. AKA when demand is mad high, price will be higher to attract more drivers to bring down price. Drivers financial success is Grab long-term success. Conclusion: Grab's SuperApp success, as evidenced by Q1 2025 financials, is tied to putting customers, drivers, and merchants first. Their focus on safety, affordability, financial inclusion, and upskilling creates a robust ecosystem, reflected in increased MTUs, revenue growth, and profitability. The SuperApp will expand to 3 billion people TAM or more over the long term. 1. User Growth(Transactional Users) 2. GrabAds (expanding beyond SuperApp into Physical Grocery/Fleets) 3. GrabUnlimited( Expanding valuable services/features to make it stupid not to have it) Over the long-term, $GRAB will expand beyond SuperApp. Just like when Amazon has some spare computer capacity and decided to rent it out and became the AWS today, which is a behemoth that's now >4 times bigger than its original shopping business. No, I'm not saying $GRAB is the next Amazon. I'm telling you that with this "Secret Sauce" strategy of customer obsession, Anthony Tan can expand to other ventures with the massive FCF+ and profitable SuperApp to fund it. Disclaimer: I do own a large position in the Private Portfolio, and currently 100% on $GRAB on small public portfolio. This is the public portfolio where I contribute $500-$1000 of my own money. This public portfolio is not intended to be just 100% pure $GRAB, but it is the first position. I will try to keep it under 10 companies, and high quality growth businesses ONLY. I will not bother with garbage or hyped businesses where people just hype x10 x100 x1000 next week/year. You can follow others for that. Everything I wrote here is NOT Financial Advice!

The cold is British. They just never told you. ❄️🇬🇧 Every air conditioner, every fridge, every freezer on earth, the cold inside all of it was first made by a Scotsman. In 1756. ❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 His name was William Cullen, a doctor in Edinburgh. In a warm room, with no ice and no winter, he drew the air from a glass of ether until it boiled cold and drank the heat from the water around it, until the water froze. No one had ever done it before. Then he wrote it down and walked away. No machine, no patent, no fortune. Just the proof, on a bench. It sat there the better part of a century. A British bench built the first machine that worked, and a Scot carried it across the world to Australia, where it froze meat and cooled beer. But cold was only half the story. ❄️📖 To master the air itself took another Scot. When the Houses of Parliament burned down in 1834, David Boswell Reid made the new building breathe, its gothic spires its lungs. At St George's Hall in Liverpool in 1851 he built what is often called the first air-conditioned building on earth. It should have made him. He died forgotten in America instead. 40 years on, Willis Carrier built the machine and earned his name as the father of modern air conditioning. He earned every bit of it. But he did not make the cold. The cold was British. America took that inheritance and cooled the world with it, and that is no theft. That is what an inheritance is for. We are the home of British heroes. Not built by ads, not by the government, built by us. There's a place for you with us. Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Exactly One Year Ago, Everything Changed. On November 26, 2023, I shared one of the biggest decisions of my life with you: acquiring the Punks on Bitcoin collection. It wasn’t just about a collection—it was about stepping into history, about believing in a future where Bitcoin isn’t just the world’s most powerful store of value, but its ultimate canvas for culture and innovation. When I look back, I’m reminded of that first piece: the hoodie alien. It wasn’t just an Inscription ; it was a symbol of what could be—a reminder that Bitcoin is more than blocks and nodes; it’s a story we’re writing together. Today, I’m not here to reflect on the past—I’m here to share where we’re going next. Because this past year wasn’t just about preserving what Punks on Bitcoin is. It was about reimagining what it could become. To mark this anniversary, we’re unveiling two milestones: 1️⃣ Our New Website – A reflection of our identity and vision. More than just a homepage, it’s a statement: sleek, elegant, and true to the ethos of Punks on Bitcoin. It’s where the past meets the future. 2️⃣ Our Virtual Showroom – This is where the experience becomes tangible. Immerse yourself in the world of Punks, interact with the art, and feel what it means to be part of this movement. In addition to these milestones, last October marked another significant moment in our journey. We organized our first 10k Ordinals Night during BTC Amsterdam—a night dedicated to celebrating this movement and its community. What began as a single evening holds the promise of becoming a recurring series, a tradition that brings us together to shape the future of Ordinals. But let’s be clear: these aren’t the endpoints. They’re just the beginning. Every decision we’ve made has been driven by one mission: to position Punks on Bitcoin among the most iconic and impactful projects in the Ordinals ecosystem. This journey is far from over. And if you’re here, reading this, you’re part of it too.

One small act of kindness can change a life. I know, because it changed mine. When I was 11, a stranger showed up at our door with a Thanksgiving meal we never expected. That moment didn’t just fill our table -- it filled my heart with hope. It proved that strangers care, and it sparked a lifelong mission to end hunger. Today, that mission lives on through The Tony Robbins Fdn's Basket Brigade program 🧡🙏, a volunteer-powered tradition that’s delivered millions of baskets to families around the world. And I want to give a huge, heartfelt thank-you to our incredible RRI team and our generous donors who helped us deliver baskets to San Diego families this year – and to the countless Basket Brigades across the world who are gathering to help deliver baskets to families during Thanksgiving and Christmas. The secret to living is GIVING! And here’s the beautiful part: you don’t need a program to make an impact. Share a meal. Invite someone to your holiday table. Look for ways to give back in your own community. Even the smallest gesture can lift someone more than you realize. Check out this video highlighting just a few of the amazing organizations and volunteers carrying on the Basket Brigade tradition. If you want to join in, find a Brigade near you here: Let’s make this season one of connection, kindness, and reminding each other that STRANGERS CARE.

Just when I thought I couldn’t hate Monarch more. Guy announces a “Zero Edge” slot on Duel and a “Zero Edge” live blackjack game. You can’t just slap zero edge on something and call it revolutionary. It’s the same type of marketing buzzword as “provably fair,” which is already a running joke in this industry. Slapping ‘zero edge’ on a game doesn’t magically make it innovative. Without real transparency around in house server seeds that can be manipulated in the house’s favor, it’s hard for players to know what they’re actually getting. Nobody should touch them with a 10 foot pole. Probably fair is mostly a scam. There are some exceptions that actually implement true provably fair but most casinos slap the label on and have no idea what it means. I can’t believe this guy used to be one of my heroes. He’s blatantly launching garbage and he knows it. His team behind the scenes is trash and he admits it, and Duel has only gone downhill ever since Ossi got perma banned on Twitter. He was the only one carrying marketing and all things Duel on his back. Right now there’s no truly superior product in this space except Stake and honestly, that’s pretty disappointing.

On February 3rd, the tradition is clear: eat the last slice of Panettone! In Milan and surrounding areas 🇮🇹, the tradition of eating the last slice of Christmas panettone on February 3rd, the Feast of Saint Blaise (San Biagio), is a popular custom meant to bless the throat and protect against colds. Often toasted and eaten with butter, this stale "panettone di San Biagio" is believed to offer health protection for the rest of the year. This tradition originates from an ancient folk tale of a woman who, just before Christmas, approached her friar to have the panettone she had made for her family blessed. The friar, being quite occupied at the time, asked her to leave the dessert with him and return for it after a few days. After Christmas, the friar realized he had forgotten the panettone. By then, it had become dry, so he decided to eat it rather than waste it. It was only on the 3rd of February that the woman returned to claim her blessed panettone. The monk, feeling quite remorseful, went to the rectory to retrieve the empty container to return to the woman, and that is when the miracle occurred: he found the panettone twice the size of the one she had left in December!

this is the world's first ever humanoid robot that will summit Mt. Everest it's named Pemba, and two days ago it reached the top of Chimborazo, a 20,000-foot peak in Ecuador, completely on its own (no remote or operator). and the robot itself is nothing special. Pemba is a Unitree G1, the same ~$14k robot anyone can buy online right now. the guy behind it, Pablo Berlanga, is doing this to send robots into the places that kill people. think about how you'd check on a melting glacier or a deadly crevasse out in the middle of nowhere today. you either send a person who might not come back, or you skip it and learn nothing. so Berlanga wants a robot that walks in on its own, carries a few pounds of gear, and brings back footage from places no human can safely reach. i think eventually they'll even be used for robot rescue missions to reach people stranded in disasters and dangerous situations from here, the plan for Pemba is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, then Everest. Everest is the tricky one. the team wanted to send Pemba up this spring to start hauling trash off the mountain and tracking its glaciers (something Nepal genuinely needs help with) but the Nepalese government told them to wait. there's no law in Nepal for a climber that isn't human, so the rules have to get written before a robot can set foot on the mountain. kind of incredible that the machine is ready for Everest a full year before anyone's decided whether it's allowed to be up there
