"If you must accumulate something, let it be many, many days of being a good human. Let it be character that stands when the dust settles. Let it be the kind of wealth that no market crash can erase, no betrayal can steal, no downturn can diminish."

In December 2007, a Barcelona newspaper ran a charity raffle to pick a local baby for a UNICEF calendar shoot.

The winning family brought their 5-month-old son.

The 20-year-old Barca player assigned to bathe him was Lionel Messi.

The baby was Lamine Yamal.

Nobody thought about the photo for 15 years.

Then the baby debuted for Barcelona at 15. Won the Euros at 16 while still doing homework. Took over Messi's number 10 shirt.

On Sunday they meet in the World Cup Final.

Messi is 39. It's likely his last one.

Yamal turned 19 two days ago. It's his first.

The baby Messi held in his hands is now trying to take the trophy out of them.

@Peshy_E Our public boarding schools are just juvenile prisons. Poor inadequate diet, deplorable sanitation, wardens for teachers, no sleep, no entertainment. The learning feels like punishment. You come out traumatized. The arson is a cry for help. A desperate measure to break free.

For months, an open manhole on Westlands Road put pedestrians at risk. Construction trucks parked on pavements with little concern for the people who walk there every day.

Now, with dignitaries, diplomats and presidents staying around JW Marriott, the trucks have disappeared and the manholes are suddenly covered with strong steel.

So the question is simple… was the problem lack of ability or lack of priority?

Nairobians deserve this level of care every day, not only when visitors are watching.

How do leaders come back to campaign for a “better Nairobi” when basic safety is only fixed for show?

The hidden physics of everyday things you never questioned:

1. The refrigerator doesn't create cold. It moves heat from inside to outside. Cold is not a thing,it is the absence of heat being relocated.
2. Glass is not a solid. It is an amorphous liquid frozen mid-flow. Old windowpanes are thicker at the bottom because the glass has been slowly moving downward for centuries.
3. Fire is not a thing. It is a process,the visible release of energy as a substance rapidly oxidises. Flame has no mass, no defined boundary, no independent existence.
4. The shadow you cast is travelling at the speed of light. Shadows are not objects,they are the absence of photons, and absence propagates as fast as presence does.
5. When you stand on the ground you are not touching it. The electrons in your feet and the electrons in the floor repel each other. Physical contact as you experience it is electromagnetic resistance, not actual touch.
6. Hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions. This is called the Mpemba effect and physicists still do not fully agree on why it happens.
7. Sound cannot travel in space. But if it could, the sun would be louder than anything the human ear could survive at any distance.
8. A piece of paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times regardless of its size. The exponential thickness increase makes it physically impossible.
9. The atoms in your body are almost entirely empty space. If you removed all the empty space from every atom in every human on Earth, all of humanity would fit inside a sugar cube.
10. Honey never expires. Archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that was still chemically edible.
11. The static electricity built up by walking across a carpet is between 10,000 and 35,000 volts. The shock you feel is harmless only because the current is near zero.
12. Metals that are perfectly smooth will permanently bond on contact in a vacuum. There is no force holding them apart,welding requires no heat, only the absence of surface contamination.
13. The loudest sound ever recorded,the 1883 Krakatoa eruption was heard 4,800 kilometres away and circled the Earth four times as a pressure wave.
14. Light from the sun takes eight minutes to reach you. When you look at the sun you are looking eight minutes into the past. When you look at the nearest star beyond the sun, you are looking four years into the past.
15. Time moves measurably faster at the top of a tall building than at its base. Gravity literally slows time. Your head ages fractionally faster than your feet every single day.

Since xAI was formed just 30 months ago, the small and talented team has made remarkable progress.

The future has never looked more exciting!

@PeterDiamandis Also, due to autonomy, Tesla is worth more than the rest of the auto industry.

That is before Optimus reaches scale production and increases Earth GDP by an order of magnitude.
