Woke up at 3am to watch Lionel Messi.
Got work in an hour.
One day, there won’t be any more 3am alarms to watch him play.
That’s why it’s always worth it.
LOVE to see the first Indian broadcaster reporting from the Formula 1 paddock.
Kudos to @FanCode.
Lots of manifesting has led to this & I'm excited by what FanCode is building for the Indian audiences; and happy to play my part.
You've earned your stripes, @F1Niharika.
🔥 Jeremy Clarkson had a fiery clash with BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire at the farmers’ protest against Reeves’ inheritance tax raid on family farms.
Victoria went straight for the gotcha:
“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”
Clarkson, visibly stunned:
“Classic BBC there, classic. The ‘fact’ that I bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax? The ‘fact’?”
Victoria doubled down: “You told The Sunday Times in 2021 that’s why you bought it?”
Clarkson, laughing in disbelief:
“These people… BBC. Let’s start from the beginning. I wanted to shoot. That’s even worse to the BBC. Which comes with the benefit of not having to pay inheritance tax.”
He pointed out the tax isn’t even an issue for him personally as he can simply put the farm in a trust, but he’s standing with ordinary family farms that will be hammered.
After sparring over the real numbers affected, Clarkson urged the government to U-turn.
Victoria: “And get the money from where?”
Clarkson: “Walk into any of the offices around here and if you don’t understand what somebody’s job is, fire them.” 😂
Classic Clarkson.
Los mexicanos invitando al reportero brasileño a tomar tequila, hacen el ritual del shot, le pegan un bigote falso y después le dice a su mamá que está bien JAJAJAJAJA.
México es el mejor anfitrión del mundo.
I believe FanCode is one of the best streaming platforms for football in India. At least in terms of pricing options.
Match pass, gameweek pass, season pass... You choose what you actually need. Most of us don't watch every single game! (1/2)

DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS
India built a ₹32,000 crore real money gaming industry - then banned it, taxed it into insolvency, and called it reform.
India's real money gaming industry had everything going for it.
₹32,000 crore in revenues by 2024. 488 million online gamers - nearly 20% of the global player base. ₹25,896 crore in FDI, with 85% flowing into pay-to-play formats. Dream11 valued at $8 billion. MPL at $2 billion.
RMG - fantasy sports, rummy, poker - was not just a gaming story. It was one of India's fastest-growing consumer internet sectors, underpinned by IPL, cheap data, and 700 million smartphones.
Then the government dismantled it. Systematically, in stages, and with what may be the most punishing retrospective tax demand in Indian startup history.

To borrow from Mario Puzo, all fortunes in this country are built on crimes but people here defend bulldozing neighborhoods of the poor because they might not have the proper legal documents.
