📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks."

"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."

Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

A major new report warns that global wildlife populations have been cut in half in just four decades due to unsustainable human consumption and widespread habitat destruction.

According to the Living Planet Report by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), average monitored wildlife populations declined by 50% between 1970 and 2010.

The Living Planet Index, which tracked more than 10,000 populations across roughly 3,000 vertebrate species, paints a sobering picture of humanity’s impact on biodiversity. Freshwater ecosystems were hit hardest, suffering a 75% decline due to pollution, water extraction, and dam construction. Terrestrial and marine populations both fell by around 40%, driven by habitat loss and overexploitation.

The underlying driver is humanity’s expanding ecological footprint. Global consumption already requires the resources of 1.5 Earths to sustain. This burden is highly unequal: the average U.S. resident would need nearly four Earths, while the average UK resident would require 2.5 Earths. Wealthier nations often export their environmental impact through imported goods linked to deforestation and habitat destruction in developing countries.

The report calls for urgent global action, including a shift to sustainable food systems, greater resource equity, and stronger habitat protection to reverse these trends.

Players of Pokémon Go have been quietly helping build navigation tech that's now heading into military drones, and most of them had no idea.

Since 2021, players scanning locations in the game for rewards created around 30 billion photos and videos of real streets, Niantic used all that player data to train a camera system that can figure out exactly where something is just by looking at its surroundings.

In December 2025, Niantic's mapping spin-off teamed up with a U.S. defense company called Vantor. They're combining this ground camera tech with drone systems so military drones and robots can navigate in places where GPS gets blocked

Players gave Niantic permission to use their scans through the game's rules, but almost nobody knew it could lead to military drone navigation.

This should be a career-ending scandal. But life under Trump is so hellish, it's not even front-page news.

Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij said San Andreas had around 70,000 bugs, while GTA IV had roughly double that at 140,000.

With Rockstar’s open worlds only getting bigger since then, it makes you wonder how many bugs GTA 6 has gone through during development.

Even with a more refined engine, the scale of GTA 6 must make bug fixing a nightmare. 😭

@WatcherGuru Add it up: Anthropic pays SpaceX 1.25B month, SpaceX delivers compute Google built on Nvidia chips, Google already owns 100B+ in SpaceX equity, and Google itself just raised 85B in equiy. The AI capital flow is becoming a closed loop between 5 names
