Triathlon & Ultras (6x Ironman, Marathon Des Sables)
The World Cup’s mandatory 3-minute “hydration break” is most devious ad unit inevntion since YouTube’s triple pre-roll back-to-back unskippable ad.
Across 104 matches, FIFA now has 624 minutes (10 hours) of new ad inventory.
That’s total of $500m potential new ad revenue that didn’t exist before (~$400k per 30-second slot).
Hydration breaks in previous year were called if heat/humidity crossed a threshold.
An estimated 200-250 million people watched Brazil vs. Morocco (Super Bowl is 130 million-ish, but still juiciest ad rates at $8m per 30 second spot).

WSJ says ad range start at $250k (early games) to $750k or more for top-attraction matches (eg US games) for 30-second slot: https://t.co/sTku3obdPR
El Niño is born! Destined to be the biggest in 150 years +??
NOAA declares: El Niño Advisory
This morning conditions in the Eastern Pacific met the criteria for El Niño. This means Sea Surface Temps reached a certain level above normal, and the ocean and atmosphere “coupled” meaning they are now working in tandem to produce impacts. This event is widely advertised by models to be potentially the strongest on record. El Niño takes very hot water stored in the deep tropical west Pacific, pushing it east and up to the surface, lofting that heat into the atmosphere, which supercharges weather events and throws the climate off-kilter. This typical means more intense heatwaves & floods, but also it restrains the Atlantic hurricane season. So its impacts are both good and bad. One thing seems virtually certain: the heat released into the atmosphere will make for some unprecedented events through 2027, and on top of longterm warming, the hottest global temperatures in many tens of 1000s of years. #ElNino #florida #storm #heatwave #flood #drought
⚠️⚠️⚠️ #Urgente ⚠️⚠️⚠️ NACE CRISTINA
Depresión Tropical se ha fortalecido rápidamente y se ha convertido en la Tormenta Tropical Cristina.
De acuerdo a la trayectoria del Centro Nacional de Huracanes podría impactar directamente en Guatemala entre miércoles y jueves con lluvias torrenciales y fuertes vientos especialmente en el sur y centro.
Incluso indica que podría seguir fortaleciéndose en los próximos días y se moverá lentamente.
Modelos numéricos muestran posible temporal desde mañana o miércoles e incremento de lluvias, algunas muy intensas.
Atentos
Guatemala necesita más infraestructura, más inversión y más competitividad.
Los proyectos estratégicos que fortalecen la conectividad, reducen costos logísticos y generan desarrollo requieren certeza jurídica, continuidad y respeto al Estado de Derecho.
Desde AGEXPORT reconocemos al @CongresoGuate la aprobación de la Ley Integral contra el Lavado de Dinero y Financiamiento del Terrorismo.
Aquí nuestra postura ⬇️
Científicos y expertos d mundo hoy en Guatemala en SIMPOSIO DE ACUICULTURA d Agexport. Ministra MAGA presente. Presidente d sector dice:”somos la generación q decidió actuar,elevaremos los esfuerzos al tamaño d nuestros sueños,tomando oportunidades en medio d la incertidumbre”.
Feliz Dia de la Madre a todas las super mamás, que lo pasen muy bien celebradas (y mejor consentidas con unos deliciosos camarones)
Happy Mother's Day to all the super moms! We hope you have a wonderful celebration (and even better if they spoil you with some delicious shrimp)
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🫨
Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to break the 2-hour barrier in official race conditions, storming to a historic 1:59:30‼️
@KejelchaYomif, on his marathon debut, also breaks 2 hours with a stunning 1:59:41 and @jacobkiplimo2 clocks 2:00:28, also faster than the previous world record 😤
Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.
That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.
Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”
The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.
That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.
But the education system still runs on its logic.
A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.
Neither is being served. Both are being processed.
Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”
AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.
One at a time. Every time.
It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.
It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.
A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.
The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.
No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.
Because the math doesn’t work.
AI doesn’t have that constraint.
Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”
The brain isn’t broken. The format is.
Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.
That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.
Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”
Four years. Six figures of debt.
And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.
The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.
Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”
The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.
The question isn’t whether the old model survives.
It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.
Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶
The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.
A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth.
This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.
🇺🇸 Astronaut Victor Glover just shared a stunning Easter message from the International Space Station:
“When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us…
You’re on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos.”
Faith, gratitude, and how special our planet really is.
Powerful enough.
Seen from 250 miles above it? Overwhelming.
