🇯🇵 FUNNIEST THING: Japanese fans ran onto the famous Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo for 40 seconds to celebrate the 2:2 tie against the Netherlands.

They ran onto the crossing only for 40 seconds while it was green! The Japanese DID NOT BREAK TRAFFIC RULES!

After the light turned red, everyone went back and stopped the celebration.

They did not even break the traffic rules for this moment. lol

@robtFPL Oh no, Odegaard is on 5%😆 I thought he would be higher to be fair so not too bothered

Anthony Bourdain wrote about this. This was his pitch for Parts Unknown. Trust me, read the whole thing.

This is what the World Cup is all about. ❤️

The single South Korea could have felt slightly intimidated surrounded by Hundreds of Mexican fans. Instead, the Mexicans embraced him, dancing with him and even throwing him in the air…. 🤣

Love it! 🇲🇽🤝🇰🇷

Don't know if this is common knowledge, but the BBC has produced a spoiler-free link to watch World Cup match highlights without knowing the score.

Your brain basically stopped recording your life around age 25. Everything since then is a blur for a reason.

Neuroscientists measured this so many times they named it: the reminiscence bump. Ask anyone over 60 to recall their strongest memories and almost every answer clusters between ages 15 and 25. The decade where everything was new. First job, first apartment, first real relationship. Your brain encoded each day because nothing had a template yet.

After that window closes, most people enter a repetition loop. Same commute, same office, same weekend rhythm. The brain stops recording repeated experiences as distinct events. A year with 300 novel days leaves 300 memory anchors. A year with 10 leaves 10. Both took 365 days to live. Only one of them will exist when you look back.

This is why people at 50 say "where did the time go." The time went into routine that felt like living but left almost nothing behind.

Your remaining years are fixed. How many your brain bothers to remember is entirely up to you.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Dr. Nick Maynard, a British surgeon recently returned from Gaza, provides a chilling testimony of the harsh impact of Israeli military operations

In #Gaza, people are perishing not just from their injuries, but from the complications and malnutrition exacerbating their condition

This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.

It's hard to know where to even start.

I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1

James Milner retiring means 2026-27 will be the first English top-flight season since 1956-57 that will not feature a single player who played under Sir Bobby Robson.

“What really hurts them is the suburbs. We need to target them, flatten them and completely destroy them.”

Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir called on the army to “flatten” Beirut's suburbs “to the ground”, a direct incitement to mass civilian destruction.

London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers.

After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Authorities had planned major man-made flood infrastructure, but the beavers effectively created their own system — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.

Cologne were caught spying in 2015 vs Hamburg. You’ll never guess who was there at the time, would you? Better yet, look at the details of how it was set up. A hotel booked in the opposition clubs facility
