Godard's Alphaville is more relevant than ever.

The plot sees a stereotypical detective/secret agent from a 1940s or 1950s crime movie infiltrate a society governed by advanced AI in a bid to destabilise and rehumanise it.

Rafael Jodar is now three wins away from OBLITERATING a 41-year-old ATP record:

The shortest time between breaking the top 100 and breaking the top 10 is 210 days, set by Boris Becker in 1985…

If he wins Montreal, it will have taken Jodar *140* days. 🤯

@Variety The first remake kept the original cat and mouse but also made museums appealing, educated a generation about Magritte’s Son of Man and had an amazing soundtrack featuring Nina Simone that led to countless club mixes. Big shoes to fill, reimagination isn’t always that easy 💡

Have this weird feeling that Gianni Infantino will pull off his mask to reveal Sepp Blatter.

Nobody and I mean nobody, wants to acknowledge the demographic time bomb, it's absolutely bizarre that it NEVER comes up and as a result, most places are guaranteed to fail.

It's a taboo to discuss reality.

Only 15 years ago, the Oppenheimer family sold their 40% stake De Beers to Anglo American in a deal that valued the whole diamond company at $12.75 billion. Fast forward to today, and watch the amount of value destruction for shareholders.

The world spent five days covering Khamenei's funeral. No one is talking about Azar Yahoo Who is paying a huge price simply for the crime of dancing right after she heard khamenei was killed.

A 39-year-old woman from Mashhad sat in a prison cell for daring to express her true feeling and share it on her social media.

Azar danced the day Khamenei was killed in a U.S. strike. She shared a sticker on social media.

The court charged her with collaboration with the Zionist regime.

She was arrested on March 4, 2025, by IRGC Intelligence. She has now spent 125 days inside Ward 6 of Vakilabad Prison — no verdict, no sentence, no end in sight.

And now it's getting worse.

Since July 5th, prison authorities have cut off all phone calls and family visits, not as a legal consequence, but as a deliberate act of cruelty. Her family cannot hear her voice. She cannot hear theirs. The silence is the punishment.

The regime that staged five days of televised mourning for a dictator gave this woman 125 days of a prison cell for one moment of joy.

That's the story no one is telling.

Please be her voice.
