𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦!!!! 🏴‍☠️ Evidence Makgopa with the strike that led to the goal, surely it will end up being an own goal. An inspired substitution though by Jose Riviero. Pirates equalise on aggregate but lead on the night. Orlando Pirates 1-0 Jwaneng Galaxy

So I have been trying to do my own take on the 4-2-1-3. but it is not for my play style. Will try some more, later on. For now I ended up with a 5-2-1-2 that I like a lot. And it’s surprisingly good against the 4-2-1-3. Anyone wants to test? 🔥🏴‍☠️

Sometimes honesty works against you in modern football. If Virgil van Dijk throws himself to the floor like Gabriel did in the North London derby , the whistle probably goes. The contact gets magnified. VAR slows it down. The referee is forced into a decision. But he stays on his feet. He tries to defend honestly. He trusts the game to reward strength, balance, and integrity. And that honesty costs Liverpool because in today’s game, staying up can make it look like nothing happened. No fall. No drama. No foul. That’s the paradox football says it wants toughness. It says it doesn’t want players going down easily. But the reality? If you don’t go down, you don’t get the call. So what’s the lesson players learn? - Don’t be strong. - Don’t be honest. - Make sure the referee sees it. And that’s the part that hurts because sometimes doing the right thing on your feet ends up being the wrong decision on the scoreboard.

Officially moving on from Tech game after I get this thought off my chest. I more than welcome anyone smarter than me in regards to the football to chime in. I truly, truly, truly cannot wrap my head around the thought process here. These two plays I'm sure anyone with brain can agree officially sealed KU's slim chances in having a chance to win this game. The play calling to me seems like completely flipped in logic at best? First one, you are down 4, on your own 30 so you are not going to go for this. Ignoring that we were getting dominated in the trenches in this game and that the 'obvious' play is a run, I don't get why we make the decision in a must get spot to take the ball out of our QB's (who at the time was rolling) hands. Jalon Daniels is our best player. In an absolute must get/need, we should be relying on him to make a play. Then the second one. I obviously don't know the answer here, but I feel somewhat confident that the reason we didn't run here was because of how the earlier 3rd & 1 run went. While I don't necessarily agree with the premise of decision making on this alone, I can appreciate the recognition that we are going to struggle to gain a yard in an obvious run situation. But the thing is, we are in go for it range so the one thing you absolutely cannot have is a massive negative play. Literally anything else is okay (obviously not a turnover). I truly don't think there's a good chance we run the ball on this attempt and get a yard. But THIS situation gives you a free shot at it if you want to take it. I think this play call would have worked if we didn't let their best player run at our qb freely but I'd just argue this play had a ton of potential risk that wasn't necessary. Hell even a play action pass out of out shot gun or something rolling JD out to the left would have given us a good shot at first down with an escape route to bail out on the play if something went wrong. I'm once again for the millionth time saying I know and understand that this entire staff knows more about football in their pinky than I do. But I do think the game has evolved and game + clock management doesn't really require football knowledge/have a direct correlation to one's football knowledge. It's not as simple as ESPN's graphic says GO so you should go etc, there are variables and human behavior etc to deal with and I understand that. But we are just getting these situations downright wrong. We are flipping a coin that has a 20 pound weight attached to the heads side and calling tails almost every single time. S/O anyone who read all this but would just love some insight if there's anyone who disagrees and is a lot smarter than I!

The past week has been a rollercoaster of emotions. 1) In court again after the Government appealed against my freedom despite the 3-0 Appeal court decision in my favor. I trust Allah’s plans & will leave my fate in his wise hands. My integrity is not for sale. 6 years & counting, and i never once delayed the trial, never once negotiated my freedom through Political masters & never once lost faith that Malaysia is worth fighting & dying for. 2) From court, straight down to Muar. I am privileged to be given the opportunity to serve the good people of Muar. Despite not getting any support on Peruntukan Kebajikan, i have fundraised millions for Muar, thanks to all of you. Latest, another RM2.5million fundraised for Muar. Macam nak menangis pun ada 🥹 3) Dari Muar terus ke Switzerland bersama @kedaicincinampang . I’ll be here for 8days. Photoshoot, video-shoot and more. At first i was struggling to pay for my legal fees. Ya la, kerajaan kalah & merayu guna duit cukai rakyat. I still have to pay on my own despite winning at the Appeal court & now heading to the federal court. But Alhamdulillah Allah works in miraculous ways. 1 pintu ditutup, 10 lagi dibuka. With this new opportunity as a Brand ambassador, i can at least pay for my legal fees. Please pray for us here. Sejuk dia menusuk kalbu 🥶🥶🥶

Eben Etzebeth's post on Instagram: Hey Everyone I've been quiet, but now that my hearing is done I think I owe everyone an explanation First of all, this is not a post to show that I was not guilty, I accept guilt. I made a mistake and I'm willing to serve a suspension which I deserve. I don't want young kids who look up to the Springboks to think that it's OK to eye gouge someone, because it's not, but unfortunately mistakes happen and I made a big one for which I'm sorry. But I'd like to answer the question - why did you do such a thing? It was a mistake caused by my reaction and other factors that played a role. Slide 1: The scuffle was basically over when Wales #7 struck me with an open hand to my chin/neck area, you can see me looking at the Assistant Referee and waiting for a reaction from him (it happened fast and it's understandable that he didn't see it) without reacting yet, I got another pull on my jersey, before I go in with the similar type of action. Slide 2: You can clearly see my first point of contact is against his shoulder with an open hand, just like he did, except he got me on the chin. Another thing worth mentioning, when he struck me, I was standing still with not a lot of movement or players trying to get involved. When I went for the same open hand towards his shoulder, you'll see 2 Welsh players changing the dynamic of the entire picture as well as one of my teammates pulling Wales #7 around his neck away from my hand and where my force is going. Slide 3: Another Camera Angle So why did I post this? To try and show people how everything happened and that it was never intentional. I would never do something like this on purpose, I know what the consequences will be after playing rugby for a few years. Thanks to everyone that stood by me and thought the best of me. I'm sorry for letting you and the game down. That was my first red card since I started playing. I want it to be my last. To the people that were angry and upset with my actions, I understand - because it didn't look good on the slow motion replay and hopefully you've got a bit more context now.

Part Two (2/2): In order to graze or pierce the top of the ear, the round would had to have been fired directly in front or behind, not at a perpendicular angle. First, You can know this is part of plan by Laws and Orders and how this sets up the finale. Second, you can read articles of the bullet whizzing by President Trump at the angle and trajectory reported by CNN… So, where did that bullet thump in the same time sequence when the other two bullets hit their targets sooner at the same angle and trajectory? Also, CNN says the snipers returned fire… There were 5 rounds in return, not in Burst Rounds, all single 1-1-1-1-1. The return fire by the “snipers” sounds exactly the same as the first 3 rounds fired at PDJT. And they sound NOTHING like an AR-15 whatsoever. Then there’s one lone round 11 seconds after the 5 rounds returned by “snipers” who are all around and had the target identified as the media says “they were told by Secret Service to hold their fire until the shooter engaged”… PLUS those on the roof behind President Trump were closer to the location of the gunman than PDJT, so, 350-450 feet away. So, are you telling me that trained snipers needed more than one round for a lone shooter? Are you telling me that trained snipers with an identified target were told to “stand down” until engagement? Are you tellling me that that trained snipers with an identified target allowed a lone round 11 seconds after return engagement? And/or needed another round 11 seconds after 5 returned on a lone wolf shooter? You clearly know NOTHING about snipers if you say ‘yes’ on one, a combo, or all of those. That alone doesn’t even need to follow up with the location, sound, angle, trajectory, but just because… A perpendicularly shot given the evidence… wouldn’t be the top of the ear pierced. This was ALL for those who have no clue what’s going on by Laws and Orders the past 7.5 years of a Military Occupation and COOP. This sets up the grand finale of ALL the evidence that will be brought against the dudes going to GITMO for the normies. Normies and “so-called Patriots” who reacted to this: stop listening to people who don’t know the Plan which is a World Special Operation with multi-faceted layers of operations taking place all outlined in Military and Federal Laws and Orders that clearly outline and define a Military Occupation and Continuity of Operations Plan. Which means stop listening to people who just want some likes, shares, and to “be the face” that you run to when it’s all about them and not an Oath. The evidence on this is clear and in order to prove it you needed: Location Angle Trajectory Velocity Weapon Style Caliber The same as “politics” requires: Laws Orders Acts Bills Codes Or you just have a lot of 🗣️💨💩 Trust the Plan, we are on the home stretch 💯🐂🇺🇸

Sure, but the idea of simplifying the appearance of Fortnite, the locker and the shop are all going in the exact opposite direction of simplicity. Equipping cosmetics takes double, if not triple the clicks. The UI is impractical and janky, not to mention the introduction of buttons and drop-down menus that were far easier to access previously. Selecting a skin to rotate it, preview it or even spin it around now requires clicking on it, which then applies it to your loadout. Previously this needed a confirm button so you could preview and choose skins, backblings etc without loosing your currently equipped on if you want to go back. Wraps are not included as part of a character's preset despite being completely relevant to the skin worn. Changing emotes, lobby tracks, and all cosmetics now means you have to back out and change tabs, something that could have previously been done on 1 page. The sectioned tabs make sense with new types like LEGO Kits, Cars, Instruments but there's no need to separate Character from Wraps, Emotes or Lobby. Archiving or Favoriting items can no longer be done in batches or quickly. Previously all you had to do was click once per cosmetic on the button but now you have to enter a drop down and select it for every individual item. Applying wraps to all slots now requires a drop down menu rather than simply clicking the button at the bottom. Swinging a pickaxe or redeploying a glider is near impossible to do and feels like more of a chore to actually accomplish with the drop-down menu. It overlays onto other items meaning as soon as it's clicked the menu vanishes and switches to another cosmetic before the animation can even begin. Cosmetics in the locker can be searched by seasons using "S1-17" but after S18+ they no longer filter. Entering the drop-down menu or right-clicking anything in the locker accidentally immediately takes you all the way back to your currently equipped item when exiting. The filter menu requires an "apply" button to be pressed rather than simply closing and applying when selecting one of the filters, taking longer and more clicks to simply find your recent items or remove a filter. The filter menu was also better as a side panel so you don't have to move your cursor to the center of the screen and back every single time. As a side panel it also allowed for more options to be displayed, whereas the current one requires a huge scroll bar to simply filter by favorite. The presets menu scroll wheel also zooms the skins in and out as you scroll up and down the list. Because of the randomize preset button, the list compared to when saving a preset is all moved up by 1, becoming disorientating to where the preset was in relation to the rows. The shop no longer displays item descriptions or set names on cosmetics - now requiring a click on each individual item when there is adequate space to do so. The new shop and locker appearance can be accustomed to, however, it NEEDS the basic functionality and user-friendly UI elements that the previous ones had. Simple buttons at the bottom to favorite, swing, redeploy and equip. Less tabs to switch between, less clicks required to complete simple tasks and less feeling like there's a battle against the UI itself just to equip the cosmetics you paid for. We appreciate the moves the renew the locker and shop, but in terms of functionality and user interaction, there is nothing we want more than the old one back or the old one's elements merged into the new appearance. Thank you.

Seedance2.0 × パルクール Prompt ↓ A hyper-realistic, 8K resolution, adrenaline-fueled single-take POV action sequence. The camera is chest-mounted on a man wearing camouflage joggers and worn-out black-and-white sneakers. He stands on the dizzying edge of a rusted skyscraper, 1000 feet above a crystalline turquoise ocean. No clouds, no haze—just a sheer, terrifying vertical drop into the deep blue. [The Initial Freefall] The sequence begins with a sudden, heart-stopping leap into a 20-meter vertical freefall. The camera points directly at his feet as the sea surface rushes toward the lens. A deafening, high-pitched whistling 'Hyuo' wind screams past the microphone. Just before the impact, he catches a lower rusted horizontal bar with both hands—white wristband visible—and swings his body forward to land on a tiny vertical pole. [The Rhythmic Jumps & The Near-Death Slip] He immediately begins a rhythmic series of high-speed jumps: Jump 1: A clean, agile spring to a second vertical pole 2 meters away. Jump 2: A rapid leap to a thin, rusted horizontal pipe. Jump 3 (The Slip): As he jumps toward the third vertical pole, his right sneaker completely misses the mark and slides off the rusted metal. The camera tilts violently over the edge, staring straight down at the 1000-foot abyss. He lets out a sharp, panicked gasp. For a terrifying second, his body leans into the void, but he desperately claws at the pole with his fingers, his boots scrambling against the side until he manages to hook his leg and haul himself back up. Jump 4: Still trembling, he forces a frantic, heavy-breathing leap to the next bar to keep the momentum. Jump 5: A final, explosive long-distance jump to a swaying metal platform. He lands with a heavy, jarring metallic 'Clang', his body hunching low, gripping the vibrating metal for dear life. [The Ending] The camera remains in a low, fetal position on the final bar, shaking from the adrenaline. No dialogue. The audio is a visceral layer of the aggressive 'Hyuo' wind, his intense, ragged, and rapid gasping for air, and a loud, thumping heartbeat that resonates as if inside his chest. The harsh midday sun glints off the ocean waves far below, creating a blinding, beautiful, yet lethal glare. Cinematic materials, fluid 120fps motion, hyper-detailed rust and skin textures.

Seedance2.0 × パルクール Prompt ↓ A hyper-realistic, 8K resolution, adrenaline-fueled single-take POV action sequence. The camera is chest-mounted on a man wearing camouflage joggers and worn-out black-and-white sneakers. He stands on the dizzying edge of a rusted skyscraper, 1000 feet above a crystalline turquoise ocean. No clouds, no haze—just a sheer, terrifying vertical drop into the deep blue. [The Initial Freefall] The sequence begins with a sudden, heart-stopping leap into a 20-meter vertical freefall. The camera points directly at his feet as the sea surface rushes toward the lens. A deafening, high-pitched whistling 'Hyuo' wind screams past the microphone. Just before the impact, he catches a lower rusted horizontal bar with both hands—white wristband visible—and swings his body forward to land on a tiny vertical pole. [The Rhythmic Jumps & The Near-Death Slip] He immediately begins a rhythmic series of high-speed jumps: Jump 1: A clean, agile spring to a second vertical pole 2 meters away. Jump 2: A rapid leap to a thin, rusted horizontal pipe. Jump 3 (The Slip): As he jumps toward the third vertical pole, his right sneaker completely misses the mark and slides off the rusted metal. The camera tilts violently over the edge, staring straight down at the 1000-foot abyss. He lets out a sharp, panicked gasp. For a terrifying second, his body leans into the void, but he desperately claws at the pole with his fingers, his boots scrambling against the side until he manages to hook his leg and haul himself back up. Jump 4: Still trembling, he forces a frantic, heavy-breathing leap to the next bar to keep the momentum. Jump 5: A final, explosive long-distance jump to a swaying metal platform. He lands with a heavy, jarring metallic 'Clang', his body hunching low, gripping the vibrating metal for dear life. [The Ending] The camera remains in a low, fetal position on the final bar, shaking from the adrenaline. No dialogue. The audio is a visceral layer of the aggressive 'Hyuo' wind, his intense, ragged, and rapid gasping for air, and a loud, thumping heartbeat that resonates as if inside his chest. The harsh midday sun glints off the ocean waves far below, creating a blinding, beautiful, yet lethal glare. Cinematic materials, fluid 120fps motion, hyper-detailed rust and skin textures.

In 2025, demand for blockchain applications with genuine real-world utility has collided with a technical barrier that leaves developers questioning what they can realistically build. Anyone building things like tokenized assets, supply chains, AI agents, or prediction markets still juggle a mess of middleware, and somehow end up spending more time stitching than innovating. How so? Every: - Bridges to move assets, - oracles to fetch data, - indexers to make that data searchable, - relayers and bots to keep everything on schedule— is necessary, but each layer also adds cost, latency, and new risks. The end result is an application that’s expensive to run, fragile under stress, and slower than the Web2 software it’s trying to replace. This is the problem Rialo says it wants to solve. Built by Subzero Labs and backed by $20 million from investors like Pantera Capital and Coinbase Ventures 🛡️, Rialo’s pitch is simple: instead of accepting the middleware tower as an unavoidable cost of doing business, compress it into the base chain itself. But Rialo doesn’t describe itself as another Layer 1, its very name, Rialo Isn’t a Layer One, makes that clear. The team frames it instead as a unified real-world network: a protocol rebuilt from the ground up with the assumption that external connectivity is not an afterthought but a core design principle. To understand what this means, consider how today’s dApps are typically assembled. A typical RWA dApp stack involves: - Oracle providers (Chainlink, Pyth, Band) for asset pricing and event settlement - Bridges (Wormhole, Multichain, custodians) for cross-chain asset movement - Indexers (The Graph, Aleph, Stacks API) for querying and preprocessing chain data - Schedulers/relayers for automated tasks and monitoring - Web2 integrations via cloud services, centralized APIs, and off-chain pipelines Each of these steps adds another vendor, another trust boundary, and another operational layer to monitor. By the time the application is live, it resembles a patchwork of loosely coupled services, each carrying its own risks. You don’t have to look far for proof: - Base went dark for 29-43 minutes in August 2025 when its sequencer misfired, freezing every DeFi app on it. - A few months earlier, an AWS outage rippled through Binance and KuCoin, stalling withdrawals because even “decentralized” systems leaned on centralized middleware. - When Infura has faltered, Ethereum dApps have gone offline in sync, not because Ethereum broke, but because the middleware holding it together did. What should feel like building an application instead feels like maintaining a fragile machine. Rialo architecture embeds the primitives that normally live in middleware directly into the protocol. Smart contracts on Rialo can: - be event-driven, able to respond not just to blockchain state changes but also to external events through built-in webhook and API triggers. - fetch data from the web natively, without relying on external oracles or relayers. - include privacy and identity management—KYC hooks and two-factor authentication, at the protocol level rather than as add-ons. - handle cross-chain communication without wrapped assets or third-party bridges. - run on a virtual machine that is compatible with ecosystems like Solana but extended with RISC-V to support modern programming concepts such as async/await and event loops. If these features work as intended, the implications are significant. Today, much of a team’s energy goes into building and maintaining infrastructure: fullnodes, indexers, monitoring scripts, oracle integrations, relayer logic, bridge infrastructure. Each requires engineering headcount and ongoing maintenance. With Rialo, much of this is absorbed by the protocol, freeing developers to concentrate on business logic. Projects can deliver production-grade dApps with smaller, leaner groups focused directly on product design and execution. Operational costs also shrink: indexing and oracle services can run into thousands of dollars a month; collapsing those into built-in functions reduces recurring expenses while simplifying onboarding for new developers. But folding middleware into the chain doesn’t erase complexity, it reshapes it. Some of the problems to be encountered include: - Scale and complexity: Rialo’s validators won’t just be securing transactions; they’ll also be securing APIs, cross-chain data, and scheduled triggers. Any failure in one subsystem could ripple across the entire network. - Performance vs. decentralization: Richer indexing, scheduling, and data ingress could make nodes heavier to run, narrowing who can realistically participate as a validator. That risks reducing the decentralization blockchains depend on for resilience. - Governance pressures: Disputes or failures involving real-world data feeds, external APIs, or cross-chain actions will arise more often, requiring not just technical fixes but robust social infrastructure, clear rules for voting, transparent arbitration, and mechanisms for community trust. Without them, Rialo risks re-centralizing decision-making around a handful of operators. Where, then, does this model make the most sense? That would be in sectors where external connectivity is indispensable and middleware bloat has consistently been a blocker: - Real-world assets: settling tokenized securities or commodities against off-chain events. - Supply chains: triggering a payment the moment a shipment clears customs, without relying on a third-party oracle. - Agent systems: AI agents interacting with real-world APIs and on-chain contracts simultaneously. - Real-time markets: prediction markets or insurance contracts that must resolve immediately against external data. For purely on-chain domains like DeFi primitives or NFTs, where composability matters more than external triggers, the advantages may be less pronounced. This shift is familiar to anyone who remembers the rise of Web2 platform services. Just as Heroku and Firebase abstracted away server maintenance so developers could focus on building products, Rialo is betting that a unified real-world network can let blockchain developers do the same. Adoption will ultimately depend on: - whether its protocol primitives mature quickly, - whether the ecosystem builds out SDKs and tooling that make them usable, - whether compliance features can adapt to changing regulations, - and whether governance proves resilient under adversarial conditions. The first applications will be the test case. If they show that Rialo can replace a fragile patchwork of middleware with a secure, auditable, and cost-effective base layer, it could set a new standard for real-world connectivity in blockchains. If not, it risks simply moving complexity from one part of the stack to another. But at a minimum, Rialo has forced the question: should real-world connectivity in blockchains continue to depend on layers of external vendors, or should it be built into the chain itself? That’s the question Rialo has put on the table — and it’s why I got interested in Rialo .

🚨 Beijing Rolled Out the Red Carpet for Trump AND Putin in 6 Days. Its Own Investors Just Rolled Out the Exits — ¥2 Trillion Gone. ¥2 Trillion, that's ¥2,000,000,000,000. Twelve zeros. More than the entire annual GDP of Saudi Arabia. Erased in one trading session. Six days ago President Donald Trump left Beijing on Air Force One. Yesterday (May 20, 2026) Vladimir Putin walked down a red carpet into the Great Hall of the People. Today — May 21, 2026 — Chinese investors did something Beijing's propaganda machine cannot spin: they sold. An estimated ¥2 trillion (≈ US$280 billion) in market value was erased from mainland Chinese equities. The Shanghai Composite slid 2.04% and the Shenzhen Component tumbled 2.07% — both three-week lows. Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed down roughly 1%. The names that bled the hardest are the very ones Xi has been parading as proof of "tech self-reliance": Cambricon -3.19%, Zhongji Innolight -4.21%, Eoptolink -3.74%, Huagong Tech -5.79%. Even CITIC Securities — a mainland brokerage, not a foreign sceptic — noted that the pullback dates from May 14. That is the day Donald Trump landed in Beijing. This is what the market thinks of the past two weeks of choreography. The Trump Summit Beijing Sold as a Triumph The Trump–Xi summit (May 14–15) was a state-visit spectacle: military honor guards, a banquet at the Great Hall, a personal welcome from Xi. The substance was thinner. Atlantic Council's verdict: a big show with little to show for it. CNN's politics desk was more clinical: nebulous agreements on agricultural purchases, tepid commitments on oil, no firm deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump himself said tariffs didn't even come up. Al Jazeera noted something rarer — the two sides released readouts that disagreed on what was actually agreed. The morning after the summit, US stock futures sold off across the board. Investors voted before the pundits did. Beijing's framing: historic visit. The tape's framing: priced in, sold off. The Putin Summit Beijing Sold as Strength One day before today's selloff, Xi gave Putin a red-carpet welcome — their second meeting in under a year. The two leaders presided over a sweeping signing ceremony covering trade, technology, nuclear energy and media cooperation. Xi called the relationship the "highest level in history." A joint statement took aim at Trump's planned "Golden Dome" missile shield. Optics: an axis. Reality: Putin came to Beijing with one big ask — locking in the long-stalled Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline, the project Moscow needs to replace gas sales lost to Europe — and left without it. The Washington Post's headline was blunt: "Putin fails to secure Xi's approval for Power of Siberia 2." Price, financing and timing all remain unresolved, with Beijing reportedly holding out for prices roughly half of what Moscow wanted. Even the marquee deliverable didn't deliver. Why the Tape Doesn't Believe the Narrative Mainland investors aren't watching CCTV. They're watching the data. China just emerged from the longest stretch of producer-price deflation in decades — 41 consecutive months from October 2022 through this past February. The streak only broke in April, and not because demand came back. It broke because the Iran war pushed energy prices higher. That is imported inflation, not organic recovery. Strip out energy and the demand picture remains thin. Goldman Sachs says the property crisis is in its fourth year and not yet at a bottom. Chinese exports to the United States fell nearly 29% year-on-year in November. Youth unemployment officially stood at 16.3% in April; independent analysts argue the real figure is materially higher. Private investment remains weak — Chinese firms aren't short of liquidity, they're cautious on returns, on enforcement consistency, on whether the demand will be there tomorrow. This is the macro that propaganda cannot photoshop. The Neighbourhood: A Quiet Encirclement Look at Asia's tape today against Shanghai's. Tokyo's Nikkei rallied more than 3%, within striking distance of an all-time high set just last week. Seoul's Kospi exploded 8.42% higher — its largest single-session point gain on record, led by Samsung and SK Hynix. In Manila, "Balikatan 2026" just concluded with Japanese combat troops participating in the largest US-Philippines drills for the first time ever. Washington's Indo-Pacific lattice — AUKUS, the Quad, the trilateral US–Japan–Philippines and US–Japan–Korea formats — the architecture Beijing labels an "Asian NATO" — continues to thicken. In Brussels, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has tied future EU-China relations explicitly to how Beijing handles Russia's war on Ukraine. And Xi is reportedly preparing his first visit to North Korea in seven years — a tell about which axis Beijing is doubling down on. Tokyo up. Seoul at a record. Shanghai down. That is not a coincidence. That is a verdict on which side of the new geopolitical fault line global capital believes will compound. Two Trillion Yuan Do Not Lie You cannot propaganda your way past a price chart. State media can stage the Trump welcome as triumph and the Putin embrace as solidarity, but the people who actually have skin in the game — Chinese savers, Chinese funds, the foreign capital still inside the wall — sold into both stories. ¥2 trillion in a single session is not a technical wobble. It is a referendum. The Trump–Xi–Putin theatre is over. The bill is being presented. And Beijing's available responses — tighter capital controls, more "national team" buying, more margin tightening, or a sharper turn toward Moscow and Pyongyang — none of them rebuild confidence. They only manage the optics of its absence. What gets priced in next? Capital controls? A managed devaluation? Another "national team" rescue? Or does the next leg down arrive before the response does? Original article by me Aric Chen. Views are my own — welcome to discuss!

A Citadel quant sat down next to me at Verve on Gough and asked why my laptop had four terminals open I was scanning Polymarket. Four panes. Each one a different agent. He was killing time before a flight. Saw the screens. "Is that a multi-agent setup on prediction markets. Who's orchestrating" Claude. One prompt per agent. They don't share memory. Only a queue file. He pulled up a chair. "Walk me through. I do this for equities at work. I want to see your agent separation" Agent 1 is the scanner. I piped raw JSON from the official Polymarket CLI straight into Claude and told it to score every live market on three things. Edge against my probability estimate. Book depth on both sides. Hours to resolution. Thresholds kill 93% of markets before the brain ever sees them. Edge under 7 cents gone. Depth under $500 gone. Under 4 hours to resolution gone. Over 168 gone. 487 live markets collapse to 35. "Seven cents is your transaction cost buffer" Yes. Below that the gas and spread eat the trade. A green fill popped. +$52 on a BTC dominance market. "And the brain" Agent 2. Runs four checks on every survivor. Base rate from history. News in the last six hours. Whether any of the 47 top wallets are currently holding. And a disposition check - is the crowd making a known cognitive error. Three out of four must agree. Otherwise drop it. 86 million trades. I let Claude rank every wallet with 100+ fills and a 70%+ win rate. It returned 47 names in four minutes. Top 20 wallets made more than the bottom 13,000 combined. "Concentration like that means the signal is there. Most retail books look like a normal curve. Yours looks like power law" Kelly sizing does the rest. Capped at quarter Kelly. If f-star goes negative the trade dies no matter how confident I feel. "Overbet once and the bankroll is gone. You respect that. Good" Agent 3 is execution. Three strategies pulled out of a 53k line Typescript repo. Arbitrage across related markets. Convergence when price moves toward my estimate. Whale copy with a 60 second delay on the 47 wallets. Two agents agree full position. One agent only half. Disagreement no trade. "What did you cut" Sports. 52% win rate. Already priced in before the scanner flags it. Markets under $50k in depth. Slippage makes every edge a coin flip. Holding to settlement. The top wallets exit at 73% of max profit every time. I copied that. Agent 4 watches exits. Three triggers. Target hit at 85% of expected move. Volume spike 3x the ten minute average. Thesis stale 24 hours with no movement. "91% of the smart wallets exit before resolution. That's the trade" Yeah. Being right is not the same as being profitable. Setup: Claude API $20 Hetzner VPS $5 Four repos free Total $25 a month $200 seed. 27 days ago. $14,300 now. 271 trades. 74% win rate. Sharpe 2.47. Copy here: "How long did the build take" Two weekends. One to wire the scanner and the CLI. One to get the agents talking through the queue file. He watched the volume exit trigger fire on a Fed cut market. Position closed at 0.71. +$184. "Nobody at my shop runs four agents on their own money. We run eight on the firm's. You got the same structure on a laptop for the price of a sandwich a month" He asked for the repos. I sent them. He messaged me from the gate. "Publishing this tomorrow. My PM is going to ask me why I didn't do it first" I told him his PM already has a Bloomberg. That's the problem.

Being right is not the same as being profitable. Setup: Claude API $20 Hetzner VPS $5 Four repos free Total $25 a month $200 seed. 27 days ago. $14,300 now. 271 trades. 74% win rate. Sharpe 2.47. Copy here: "How long did the build take" Two weekends. One to wire the scanner and the CLI. One to get the agents talking through the queue file. He watched the volume exit trigger fire on a Fed cut market. Position closed at 0.71. +$184. "Nobody at my shop runs four agents on their own money. We run eight on the firm's. You got the same structure on a laptop for the price of a sandwich a month" He asked for the repos. I sent them. He messaged me from the gate. "Publishing this tomorrow. My PM is going to ask me why I didn't do it first" I told him his PM already has a Bloomberg. That's the problem.

Yesterday at 11:47 PM I stumbled upon a broken wallet with strange timing. Every day it makes $97K. Every single day. It enters 73 seconds BEFORE the odds change. Today at 4:34 PM I saw it enter again. Decided to try. Copied its position. $400 at $0.31. Honestly? I did not understand what would happen. 2 minutes later the price jumped to $0.94. Got out. Profit +203%. I just... stood nearby. That is it. I do not know HOW he sees it. I do not know WHY exactly 73 seconds. But the timing works. Every time. I could not sleep. My mind kept racing: "This is a scam. Fake numbers." Opened his profile. Started scrolling through history. Two weeks ago he started trading. Balance today: +$5,57M in pure profit. First reaction? Interface bug. I do not believe it. Because in trading you do not get this kind of win rate. That is the law. I decided to find the catch. Downloaded the CSV file with all his transactions. Loaded it into a spreadsheet. Started verifying hashes on the blockchain. Blockchain cannot lie. You cannot delete a loss or add a zero there. 1207 closed positions. I scrolled through this list for 20 minutes. Trying to find at least one red line. You know what I found? There are losses. About 40. But they cost him $2,800 total. And the wins brought in $4.2M. The ratio is almost laughable to calculate. Professional syndicates in Vegas pray for 57% accuracy. This guy has 96% with an average win of $48K and average loss of $70. I closed the spreadsheet. Cold sweat hit me. This is not trading. Humans do not play like this. Started digging into the markets. What does he bet on? Maybe inside info? NFL, Premier League, La Liga. Hockey. Basketball. Eight leagues. Three continents. A person physically cannot have "fixed matches" in every league in the world simultaneously. Looking at the bet types. It is not just "who wins." These are complex spreads: Bills -3.5. Indiana -7.5. He needs to guess the score gap down to a point. And he bets a million dollars on it. One game. Entry: $1.13M. Exit: $2.45M. Net: $1.32M in three hours while the football game played. And then I noticed something strange about the timing. Here is how you trade: wait for the match, watch the game, get nervous, place your bet. Here is how he trades: entry a day before the match. Price: 35-50 cents. Match starts and the price is already 70-85 cents. He wins before the referee even blows the whistle. This is not betting. Betting implies risk. There is no risk here. He sees something in public data that hundreds of thousands of other eyes do not see. Do not take my word for it. Check it yourself. Blockchain remembers everything: I understood why he does not hide. He has $4.2M in open positions right now. 64,000 people follow him. They are the crowd. Trying to jump on a departing train. Buying when the price is already 80 cents. They are the force that pushes the price up. For him. He uses us as fuel. Two choices. Option 1: Say this is a glitch and close the post. Go back to your strategy where 55% win rate is a celebration. Option 2: Observe. Understand that miracles do not exist but algorithms do. Try to understand WHAT he sees in those 73 seconds before the crowd. I made my choice at 4:34 PM. My wallet got heavier by +203%. The next entry could be in a minute. Will you make it in time?

[singing dyd] how is it? riize's challenge. easy, right? do it lots, please~ these days, a lot of short-form [videos] are coming up, as you've probably seen. I thought it might be fun if everyone did that together... what do you think? live... there's a way to turn it on, but even if i turned it on, i'm not sure if i could do it well. i don't have confidence rn so i'm talking like this wa, but there's only 4 days left for our comeback.. only 4 days left... how is it? are you guys looking forward to it? are u guys excited? we're going to ulsan the 15th, and wonbin hyung, said he's buying us lunch... not really. but it's our first time going to ulsan all together. we'll have our comeback there. i think it'll be fun. also, the 15th we're doing a comeback live.. we've been doing it every comeback... and at the live stream we'll be high school students.. but it could honestly be university students too.. or really just do it without a concept, but i think it'll be fun... just... it'll be fun... so, while doing that we'll talk about the comeback whatever happens i want us all to just create fun memories together, and since it’s summer, how about you all enjoy summer together with riize... how does that feel? how's this pfp? i like it ㅎㅎ engddongi, eng, engddon ah, right. also with taro hyung, we'll appear at salon drip... i also think that will be fun when it comes out. the recording was also fun, with doyeon nuna.. please watch it ah... you guys can hear the dryer? i won't tell you who's clothes it's drying, it's a secret~ since you could look at this as something im trying out instead of doing a live stream i won't be able to do it super often or every single day, but I think it wouldn't be bad to use this feature again sometime what do you think? ah, but languages are difficult it's not easy to unify into just one language now, but on the other hand, it's really fun. somehow, this chat room..? is that right? realizing that this place is totally global and international is in a way pretty cool. haha anyway, after a long time i rode a bike again.. there was a lot of sunlight... sunlight.. did lots of photosynthesis but what was a real mistake was first of all the bicycle didnt have a basket, and I didnt wear a comfortable backpack. i came out carrying a somewhat awkward/uncomfortable bag, so i really messed up on top of that the bicycle was incredibly heavy, but then the battery completely died... so I almost cried. without even realizing it I had gone so far away so I suffered a bit. that’s the story i also have the feeling i bruised my butt a bit... ㅎㅎ but that will also become a funny memory, right? how's riizing summer vacation? i think there were really a lot of funny moments... sungchan hyung was so funny... sungchan hyung said somewhere he hasn't eaten ramyeon in a year ㅎㅎ and sungchan hyung honestly isn't the type to eat ramen alone, he's on the not eating it side... but he's always like 'one bite, one bite'... so if we put all that together, wouldn't it be a plate of ramen?ㅎㅎ for me, at the beginning of our debut, it was a bit... you know how while filming content, i ended up grilling meat and all? but now, grilling meat... well, i don't think it's that bad also, back when we went to japan to shoot our album jacket photos and the trailer, we visited a lot of vinyl (LP) shops... and that was actually the first time in my life buying an LP with my own money when i was young i went to la to play, and then there was this famous 'amoeba music' store. i looked around and everything, but honestly back then i really wasn't that much interested in LPs. so i bought things like a lot of stickers and used them to decorate my laptop. somehow, after that time, [it was like] I truly spent time in a vinyl shop? but visiting now that I'm a bit older, it was so much fun there are so many songs I don’t know, and tons of songs that aren't even famous so back then in japan, duran duran is a really famous band, but I bought duran duran's Notorious LP and then I also bought Barry Finnertys,, barrynims NY City LP. what was so surprising was that as soon as I listened to the LP, the sound and quality were so good that I was like, 'wow, what is this?' but when I looked it up on the internet, it only had like 3,000 views on YouTube? I think it was 3,000, so because it was so good, I bought it. and after that yesterday too while wandering around here and there, i happened to walk into a cafe and they had LPs there too so yesterday, I bought one or two ㅎㅎ lp's no mater how you look it they have a vibe... its true that nowadays you can just look up and listen to everything on your phone, but another good thing about it (lps) is that I think it’s really great for finding songs you don't know so when going to the lp shop you get to learn a lot of new songs that you didn't know before. even if you don't go with the sole purpose of buying an LP, it's just... really great for discovering things... should I say? a riize lp would also be good... back then, during boom boom bass, we even went there and did all that stuff with our LP too... how was the video editing? back then when i went to school when doing things like presentations, together with other students we would edit videos.. i did lowkey find that kind of stuff pretty fun though because it was pretty much my first time [doing that] since back during those days... but really i think it was fun like... yeah.. i want to try to do it again when i was young i did draw. i drew for fun but it had been such a long time since i last properly sat down and tried to draw something properly with a pencil.. i think it's been such a long time i'm probably the worst at drawing in my family? ㅎㅎ my dad's good, my mom's also good.. my grandpa also draws reaññu well. but it was fun drawing again, so i also want to try that again... why is there so many things i want to do? really why is it? and above all, i want to work really hard on music so that someday i can show you even more. now, like from the trailer to the full version that was uploaded to our site... those kinds of things are a bit different from just being a song, though.. now everyone, let's try meditating together with me sorry.. anyways.. i have to leave in a couple hours actually, so.. time to hit the hay, yeehaw i can't fall asleep right away ㅎㅎ this.. seems like it might be a bit difficult to interpret/translate.. (yes anton, it is,,,) next time it might be better to just turn on a live stream instead ㅎㅎ sorry wow... sleep is really not coming... [1 video] [1 picture] ok jinja gn
