I was just in Mumbai, and I have to give them credit for the progress they’re making on infrastructure. The new Aqua Line metro is phenomenal. But the amount of work India still has to do on basic cleanliness and sanitation and it is hard to understand until you see it yourself. Would love for more westerners to go just to understand how wealthy they are, but that's a different point.

Mumbai is completely surrounded by water, yet there are almost no places where people can actually enjoy the water. The beaches are filled with trash, the water is badly contaminated, and almost nobody swims, even when it’s brutally hot outside. Walking on the beach is just mud and trash meeting filthy water on the horizon.

There are much poorer places around the world where people can still use the beaches. This is not just about money. India has gone decades without adequate trash collection, sewage treatment, or enforcement for a population of more than a billion people. At this point, the scale of the problem feels almost impossible, and the oceans around the world are paying the price for Indias garbage output as well.

I like the direction Modi is taking the country, but India needs to treat cleanup like a national emergency. Stop with the small campaigns and organize a full scale blitz.

Offer unemployed people paid work picking up trash, clearing drains and waterways, cleaning beaches, and maintaining public spaces. Give them proper equipment and supervision. Then build the collection and waste processing systems needed to stop everything from becoming filthy again a week later.

India has shown that it can build metros, airports, highways, and digital infrastructure. Clean streets and usable water should be treated as infrastructure too.

Mumbai should have one of the greatest waterfronts in the world. Instead, it's has basically an irrelevant feature of the city and feels surrendered to sewage and garbage.

I’m convinced that the key to life is having low expectations and high standards. Low expectations for things outside your control. High standards for things within it. The recipe for a good life.

The curse of discipline is that every day looks the same. The curse of indiscipline is that every year does.

One of the most common calls I get from the ER are for dog attacks - 99% pit bulls.

Mostly these are family pits who all the sudden just snap.

I've seen kids with chewed out eyeballs and scalped faces.

One time there was a kid who got bit in the face - one cheek with a perfect childhood dimple, the other cheek nothing but blood and gore.

Very rare to see kids after suffering a prolonged attack since they're dead at the scene. But adults often survive prolonged attacks.

There was one lady - middle aged, relatively large - who agreed to watch a friend's pit bull. She got attacked in her garage. She showed up with both arms and one leg partially amputated, nearly all the skin of her anterior chest and abdomen was ripped from the underlying fascial layers.

This is all to say that every time I go to the park with my kid, I carry a Glock 19 - partially for protection against societal dregs/third-worlders but more so for protection against their dogs.

Never prepare for a presentation, speech or an interview using the voice in your head. It is far more eloquent and fluent than you actually are in reality.

España jugó un mundial de 8 partidos, enfrentó a Uruguay, Portugal, Bélgica, Francia y Argentina, a Mbappé y Messi, los dos mayores goleadores en la historia de la competición y solo recibió un gol; jugando con un central de 19 años.

De no creerse.

Jakie to jest wszystko powierzchowne. Ostatnio myślałem o Euro 2016, dlaczego zawsze po bramce się cofaliśmy i graliśmy zachowawczo. Nikt już nie pamięta, że Nawalka w obu meczach fazy pucharowej dokonywał tylko dwóch zmian! Mimo 120 minut gry. I to w dodatku wchodzili Jodlowiec i Peszko/Kapustka, bo taka była dysproporcja między 11 a ławką rezerwowych. Mało ekskluzywnie. Oczywiście, że mieliśmy liderów w prime, ale Norwegia jest dużo lepiej opakowana. Wczoraj z ławki wchodziło dwóch typów z Benfiki (jeden robi dwie asysty) czy z Fulham. W podstawowym składzie też ciut lepsze kluby niż były wtedy u nas. Klasa średnia norweskiego piłkarza jest wyżej niż była i jest u polskiego. U nas Mączyński, u nich Berg. Na to trzeba zwrócić uwagę, a nie Haaland i Lewandowski.

Objectively the funniest thing the ref could do at the US - Belgium game is immediately giving Balogun a red card.

They saw this historic stadium with unbelievable atmosphere and were like yea let’s play the final in a parking lot in New Jersey

Instead of outraging on a quarter of a million women being groomed and gang raped in Britain, these psychopaths at the @BBCNews, who admitted to evading tax in India, are instead outraging on one woman who claims she contracted a disease 19 years ago after her visit to India.

Ivory Coast v Norway is the World Cup Round of 32 match that best shows the absurdity of the Mercator Projection.

Despite Norway being shown on most maps as far larger than Ivory Coast, the two countries are actually almost identically sized. Ivory Coast is 322,463 km², and Norway: 323,802 km².

Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

Never underestimate Paraguay. This is a nation that:

🇵🇾 Still speaks Guaraní despite 300 years of Spanish rule

🇵🇾 Defied Portuguese slavers for 150 years

🇵🇾 Survived a 🇧🇷🇦🇷🇺🇾 invasion that killed half its population

🇵🇾 Defeated Bolivia in the Chaco War

🇵🇾 Outlasted a 35-year dictatorship

A “third-class team”, as German commentators claimed? Should have read some history 😎

@bekbekagain Never let your morality change based on internet trolls, likely bots. I have Venezuelan friends who are publicly appreciating India, and other countries that helped. The victims will remember all their lives - that matters most.

[FFBobby @FFBobby_]

Head-To-Head has absolutely ruined this group stage.

Ivory Coast are on 3 points and are guarenteed 2nd because they can’t go ahead of Germany and can’t go below Ecuador.

Absolute waste of a 3rd match.

[Chris Sutton @chris_sutton73]

I’d prefer the Groups to be decided on goal difference at the World Cup… the head to head results mean already Mexico and USA will finish top of their groups regardless of their final games… poorly thought out…

[Gaurav @Melbourne__82]

Indian hockey team just beat the world champions Germany.

Meanwhile, Indian football fans are still explaining how cricket is the reason we're not in the Fifa World Cup.

Uzbekistan spent $47m to revamp their entire footballing infrastructure + heavy subsidies for their top clubs while India spent $11m for a Messi tour, $1m erecting his statue (demolished within a year due to structural flaws) & the domestic league was recently dead for months.

Trzeba docenić TVP, że tu przerwa na nawodnienie jest naprawdę przerwą na nawodnienie. A nie po to została wymyślona. W zagranicznych telewizjach w tym czasie lecą reklamy.
