Kylie Jenner wore a $50 million bra on her very first Victoria's Secret walk. Supermodels used to wait over a decade to wear that bra. Victoria's Secret let her cut the line for one reason, and it's sitting right there on her Instagram profile.
For about 20 years the Fantasy Bra was basically the brand's lifetime achievement award. Tyra Banks got the $3 million one back in 1997. Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima each wore it three times over their careers. Alessandra Ambrosio waited 11 years as an Angel before she got hers. Kendall Jenner walked the show three times and never got anywhere near it.
That system made sense back when the show was on network TV. ABC or CBS aired it every December, and in 2011 more than 10 million people tuned in. Victoria's Secret controlled the biggest stage in fashion, so whoever they put in that bra became famous pretty much by default.
Then people stopped watching. By 2018 the show was down to 3.3 million viewers, the worst in its history, and the company pulled the plug the next year.
Fast forward to this weekend. The show streamed for free on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok from a studio lot in Culver City. Without a TV network handing them an audience, the brand has to borrow one, and the person on that runway with the biggest audience by a mile was Kylie.
She has about 380 million Instagram followers. The show's best night ever on TV drew 10.3 million viewers. Her account by itself is roughly 37 of those nights.
Think about it from Victoria's Secret's side. If they'd put the bra on a longtime Angel, the people who already love the show would've loved it. Putting it on Kylie means the clip lands in front of millions of people who haven't thought about Victoria's Secret in years, and a lot of them are the younger shoppers the brand has been trying to win back.
It fits the playbook Hillary Super has been running since she took over as CEO in 2024. Sales grew 15% in the first quarter and the stock posted its biggest one-day jump on record. They even changed their ticker symbol to VSXY.
That's why Kendall's three walks never got her the bra and Kylie's first one did. The bra goes to whoever can bring the most people with her, and almost nobody alive can bring more than Kylie.
I heard someone say, satan got adam and eve to fix their eyes on one tree when god had already given them an entire garden, think about that. The enemy didn't have to convince them that they had nothing. He just had to make them forget everything that they already had. And he still, till this day, uses the same strategy. He gets us to focus on relationships we don't have, the job that we don't have, the opportunity we don't have, the healing we haven't seen yet. Meanwhile, we are blind to the countless prayers god has already answered. Gratitude isn't pretending you don't want more, it's refusing to let what you don't have make you forget the goodness of god that's already surrounding you.
My uncle told me, “Women today are too independent, Men don't feel needed anymore” I asked him, “Why does a woman being capable of taking care of herself make you feel less like a man?” He said, “Because men are supposed to provide” I asked, “Then what happens when she can provide for herself?” He said, “She'll stop respecting him” I looked at him and said, “Or maybe she’ll finally have the freedom to respect a man because she genuinely admires him, not because she depends on him” He went quiet. I wasn't trying to win the argument. I just wanted him to hear how strange that sounds when you say it out loud.
The research behind this is wild. Your kitchen sponge has the same density of bacteria as human stool. German scientists found 54 billion bacterial cells per cubic centimeter inside used sponges in 2017. Yours is sitting right next to your sink.
Sponges are the perfect home for bacteria. They are wet, warm, full of food bits, and never fully dry between washes. Across all 14 sponges, the team found 362 different types of bacteria. The most common species include strains that can make people sick.
In 2011, the public health group NSF International swabbed 30 things in 22 American homes. The dirtiest object in the entire house was the kitchen sponge. It was dirtier than the toilet seat. 75% of the sponges tested positive for the kind of bacteria that includes Salmonella and E. coli.
Microwaving does not clean the sponge. The 2017 study found microwaved sponges had higher amounts of the smelliest, most harmful bacteria. Heat kills the weak strains. The strong ones survive and refill the sponge with no competition for space.
A 2021 Norwegian study compared kitchen sponges to dish brushes. In brushes, Salmonella was wiped out within three days because the bristles dry out between uses. In sponges, bacteria climbed to about a billion cells per sponge. The lead researcher told CNN that one kitchen sponge can hold more bacteria than there are people on Earth.
Three things actually work. Switch to a dish brush, because brushes dry fully between uses while sponges stay wet for hours. Replace your sponge every one to two weeks. Never leave it sitting wet in the sink. Norway and Denmark already do this by default, but most other countries don't.
The detergent is fine. Your sponge is the problem.
Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.
Gen Z,
Aku faham korang mmg lantang dan sgt objektif. Bagus lah sbb ckp direct tak berlapik². Tp, satu skill yg benda korang kena belajar lg.
"Read the room".
Tak semua kelantangan kita ni perlu dilontarkan dlm setiap keadaan. Berenang pun ada banyak gaya, cara kolam lain, laut lain, sungai pun lain, inikan pula nak berbicara dlm majlis² penting.
yes, i do and it’s actually more important than most people think
the blue flame is what u want, what everyone wants. it means the gas is getting enough oxygen so it burns clean and efficiently. it comes from complete combustion which produces heat, carbon dioxide and water vapor... hotter, safer and better for cooking.
the yellow/orange flame is a warning sign. it means incomplete combustion maybe cos the burner is dirty or airflow is blocked. that color can produce carbonmonoxide which is very dangerous for your health. it also wastes energy and gives you bad heat.
learn something 👍

Your brain doesn't age because of time. It ages because of repetition. The more predictable your days become, the faster your neurons quiet down. Your brain builds neural pathways based on experience. New experiences create new connections. Repetition strengthens old ones. But when you repeat the same patterns for years, your brain stops building. That's why time feels faster as you age. Your brain stops encoding new memories. It just references old ones. A year at 40 feels shorter than a year at 10, because at 10, everything was new. At 40, everything is familiar. But neuroplasticity doesn't stop. You can still grow new neurons. You can still learn. You can still change. You just have to break the loop. Your brain will wake up. And time will slow down again.
A dentist explains why miswak is still one of the best natural tools for oral care.
The Messenger of Allah PBUH said: “Had I not feared hardship for my ummah, I would have ordered them to use the miswak for every wudu.”
