What he is saying is not outrageous. You can experience it in any stadium in Australia

[Nalini Unagar @NalinisKitchen]

Karishma:
You think the Narendra Modi Stadium could have been better?

Lalit Modi:
If I was today there, I would demolish it and rebuild it completely. Modern escalators, modern kitchens, modern restaurants. Make it a 365 destination. You have shopping malls in the basement. You make it into an entertainment complex. If it needs to be air-cooled or wind-cooled or whatever, today you can do it.

The technology exists. You can put five-star quality bathrooms. Instead of having 10 toilets, put a few hundred toilets. Make them self-cleaning toilets. Make the state-of-the-art infrastructure in there. Make the going in and out of the stadium in five minutes.

The state association is where lies the muck, where lies the gandagi!!! where lies the corruption.

The match is 3 hours, plus you go an hour and a half before. 4 and a half hours, 5 hours with young kids at night, hungry. You make it hygienic. You do all of that, which is missing. It's all about how much money I can make.

This is what a brain looks like with no priors.

Your brain is a prediction machine. Every sensory input gets compared against an expected input built from prior experience. When reality matches your model, you feel nothing. When reality breaks your model, you feel wonder.

She's around two. Her model of the world is microscopic. A train is 200 tons of metal moving 50 mph through her field of view, and her brain has no template that fits. The prediction error is so large her face becomes the prediction error.

This is Karl Friston's free energy principle in real time. The brain minimizes surprise by updating its model. Children update constantly because almost everything is new. Adults update almost never because almost everything matches a prior.

That's why adults can stand next to the same train and feel nothing. Their model already contains it. The signal gets predicted away before it reaches conscious awareness.

The wonder window narrows as priors fill in. After that, you have to manufacture novelty. She still gets it for free.

You used to react to everything this way. Then your brain finished its training run.

🚨 The Chinese Communists have just TICKETED the Fox News crew, using their abundance of surveillance cameras placed around Beijing!

BRET BAIER: "There are literally cameras everywhere...they see everything...our driver parked illegally for 2 MINUTES and got a ticket for $40!"

"Because they saw it, on the camera."

This is Communism! It's what the Democrats want.

The relevant question to ask is how successful was their roger federer sales line? I rarely see anyone wearing his Uniqlo tshirt or cap. Their success was despite the endorsement not because of it.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Nike sponsored Roger Federer for 24 years and let him walk at $10 million a year. A Japanese tailor's son tripled the offer for a 37-year-old past his prime.

The math proves Tadashi Yanai exactly right.

Federer joined Nike in 1994 at age 13. Twenty-four years later his agent Tony Godsick spent a year trying to re-sign. Nike chose not to renew. Federer's playing career was supposedly ending. Nike treated the deal like a tennis sponsorship and priced the post-tennis years at zero.

Yanai flew Godsick to Tokyo. The Uniqlo offer was $300 million over 10 years. $30 million per year. Three times what Nike was paying. Federer was about to turn 37 with chronic knee problems and one Wimbledon match away from his last Slam.

The structural piece is the contract. No withdrawal clause. No tournament minimums. No retirement trigger. Federer keeps getting paid the full $30 million through 2028 even though he retired in 2022. The $300 million priced everything that happens after the last forehand.

Now look at what happened. Fast Retailing did $14 billion in revenue the year Yanai signed Federer. The latest fiscal year cleared roughly $30 billion. Stock returned 4-5x. Market cap sits around $106 billion. Yanai's personal net worth is $61.8 billion per Forbes' 2026 list, the richest man in Japan, ahead of Masayoshi Son.

Nike kept the RF logo for two more years and refused to release it. Federer launched at Wimbledon in 2018 wearing Uniqlo while logo-less. His own initials had been taken hostage by his former sponsor. Uniqlo got two free years of underdog storyline before Nike returned the trademark in late 2020.

The Yanai backstory is the part that lands. His father opened a roadside men's tailor in Ube, Yamaguchi in 1949, a month after Tadashi was born. Yanai swept the floor of that shop as a kid. He renamed it Fast Retailing in 1991. The kid who grew up watching his father stitch suits for coal miners just outpriced the world's biggest sportswear company for the most marketable athlete of his generation.

Federer is now one of six athletes who cleared $1 billion in career earnings while active. Tennis prize money over his entire career: $130 million. The Uniqlo deal alone is 2.3x what he earned on court.

Nike paid $240 million for the playing years. Yanai paid $300 million for what came after.

Imagine Nelson Mandela on Robbin island for 27 years and then emerge to become president. That's why he's a hero. Rest of need social validation to survive.

[Fred Lambert @FredLambert]

It's wild that the world's richest man, the CEO of Tesla, has over the last few years:

— been caught emailing Epstein asking to attend his "wildest parties" on his island

— lied about the relationship, claiming he "always refused invites" when emails show he asked to go on at least 3 occasions — after Epstein was already convicted

— facilitated the production and distribution of AI images sexualizing unconsenting adults and minors (part of why France wants to criminally charge him)

— openly echoed white nationalist rhetoric, saying "white people need to reclaim their nations"

— dismantled several government orgs, including those that regulate his many businesses, and some that were directly responsible for saving lives

And yet somehow, people continue to support him and invest in his businesses.

Greed and low morals.

🚨 Major Tesla FSD breakthrough in Europe. ⚡
Flemish Mobility Minister @AnnickDeRidder just dropped breaking news:
Following the successful Tesla FSD test project in the Netherlands, she’s officially requested Tesla’s full dossier and ordered her team to deliver clarity by the end of this week on a fast-track homologation for Flanders.
Her message is crystal clear:
“Innovation should not be slowed down, it should be made possible thoughtfully and safely.”
This is exactly how progressive leadership looks. Vlaanderen staying ahead of the curve. 🇧🇪🚀
@elonmusk @Tesla
Huge thanks to Minister De Ridder for moving fast.

@LTAsg you're forcing an iphone17 hardware to run on iphone10 software, thinking you making it safe. But it's actually the opposite. Time to upgrade to fsd @tesla_singapore

[BarcelonaGeek @BarcelonaGeekYT]

Spain has answered me about FSD approval! 🇪🇸

📄They basically say that under Article 39, FSD could be approved once Tesla demonstrates through sufficient real-world testing on Spanish roads, that the system operates safely, ensuring full safety guarantees for both vehicle occupants and all other road users.

🚀In a previous email, Spain’s road safety authority (DGT) confirmed that FSD testing in Spain has now reached over 80,000 km without a single incident.

📄This is the full translated response I got today from Spain’s SGCSI (Spain’s real RDW equivalent) about FSD approval in Spain:

In response to your inquiry, please note that the procedure relating to exemptions for new technologies or new concepts is regulated under Article 39 of Regulation (EU) 2019/858, on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, amending Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 and repealing Directive 2007/46/EC.

That article provides for the possibility for an approval authority to grant a provisional EU type-approval, valid only within the territory of its Member State, in relation to a type of vehicle covered by the exemption sought.

Likewise, the granting of type-approvals valid throughout the entire territory of the EU that exempt new technologies or new concepts shall be subject to authorisation by the Commission, which shall adopt implementing acts, through the examination procedure referred to in Article 83(2), to decide whether to grant that authorisation.

In turn, the approval authorities of other Member States may accept the provisional EU type-approval in their own territory, provided that they inform the approval authority that granted the provisional EU type-approval of their acceptance in writing. In Spain, the approval authority is the Ministry of Industry and Tourism.

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, a Level 2 driver assistance system according to SAE J3016, has received provisional EU approval from the Dutch approval authority, following the corresponding real-world testing campaign in that country.

Level 2 driver assistance systems are systems capable of assisting the driver with the simultaneous longitudinal and lateral control of the vehicle on a continuous basis, and they require the driver to remain attentive to the driving task. The operation of such systems enables active prevention of possible human errors, thereby actively contributing to road safety and reducing potential accident risks.

Without prejudice to the above, validation of these systems requires a thorough assessment of their behaviour on the roads where they are to be deployed, in order to verify that the system is capable of recognising and responding appropriately to the specific characteristics of those roads, and to ensure the prevention of possible accidents and fatalities resulting from its behaviour.

The validation of the FSD system for obtaining approval in the Netherlands was carried out by verifying the system’s behaviour on that country’s road infrastructure.

For the above reasons, acceptance in Spain is not immediate and requires the manufacturer to demonstrate that it has carried out a sufficient number of tests on Spanish road infrastructure to ensure that its deployment could be carried out with full safety guarantees, both for the vehicle’s users and for all other users of public roads.

You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story.
When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement.
It's the world's laziest status symbol.
The starter kit is always the same:
*A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago.
*A gun they'll never actually need.
*A Bible they've never actually read.
*And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their....
Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard?
FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody.
He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior!
And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
And I write this so that hopefully they will recognize what they have done and what they are doing and snap out of it.....

“Conocí a mi esposa (Priscilla) en una fiesta universitaria. Estábamos en la fila del baño. Yo estaba a punto de ser expulsado de Harvard por un proyecto polémico y le dije, bromeando: ‘Si vamos a salir, tiene que ser pronto… probablemente me echen en unos días’. Nunca imaginé que esa conversación se convertiría en el inicio de nuestra familia.”

Nos casamos años después y ahora tenemos tres hijas. Cada una me ha transformado de forma distinta. La más pequeña, Aurelia, un día se plantó frente a mí y dijo: ‘No soy una pequeña, soy una grande’. Desde entonces exige su propio escritorio. No quiere juguetes. Quiere trabajar, como papá. Tiene solo dos años y ya quiere ser parte del equipo.

Intento pasar al menos media hora con cada una de ellas cada noche, de 6:30 p.m. a 8:00 p.m. Eso es sagrado para mí. No importa si tuve reuniones con jefes de Estado o lanzamientos de productos globales, yo les leo cuentos, les explico cosas del mundo, o simplemente escucho sus historias infinitas de la escuela.

Todo lo que hago, cada línea de código, cada hora que invierto en FB… lo hago pensando en ellas. Porque el legado más importante que puedo dejarles no es una empresa. Es un ejemplo. Que vean que su padre trabajó por un futuro donde ellas puedan construir lo que se les ocurra, sin límites… y con todo el amor del mundo.

@LTAsg @tesla_singapore come on! You're getting left behind. Build a framework for supervise fsd instead of only focusing on autonomous driving.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Tesla has been given approval to test FSD (Supervised) on public roads in Strängnäs, Sweden.

• Valid for 1 year after Sweden’s Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) gives final approval
• Safety drivers required
• Covers public municipal roads (Tesla already has state road approval)

The municipality notes that automated driving can "significantly improve traffic safety" by reducing human error, and the importance of real-world data collection in Nordic conditions.

[Abhinav Gupta @gabhinav]

@LTAsg what you waiting for? @tesla_singapore

[Abhinav Gupta @gabhinav]

@tesla_singapore @LTAsg you're getting left behind. Time to start testing

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Spain says that @Tesla currently has 30 vehicles testing on the road in the country with FSD (Supervised), with nearly 50,000 miles driven so far by these vehicles since November 2025. There have been 0 reported incidents to date.

"We certainly believe that the RDW decision can provide new potential opportunities to improve mobility and benefit citizens, as a first step towards automated vehicles becoming a reality in the EU, as is happening in other regions of the world."

[Abhinav Gupta @gabhinav]

@tesla_singapore @LTAsg look at this. No reason why we can't have it in Singapore!

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

This is why I was excited to start seeing FSD videos come from Europe, because these types of scenarios pretty much don't exist in the US/Canada. Many parts of Europe have very old and small roads, and very walkable cities, creating challenging driving scenarios with lots of people, bikes, walking into the street, etc, especially in Amsterdam.

Based on what we've seen in the last week, FSD is nailing all of it. Its situational awareness is great, despite the all chaos and variables in this type of environment.

[Abhinav Gupta @gabhinav]

Impressive!

[Chanan Bos @ChananBos]

People wonder if FSD is safe on narrow European roads. Well have a look what it did when a tractor took up more than half of the road or when overtaking bicycles with fast oncoming traffic.

[Abhinav Gupta @gabhinav]

No reason why this cannot be rolled out in Singapore now! Incredible achievement.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Watch how perfectly Tesla FSD (Supervised) handles all these pedestrians and bikers on narrow roads in Amsterdam, the biking capital of the world. It's a thing of beauty. Lot of fun to watch all these FSD videos coming from the Netherlands.

[Abhinav Gupta @gabhinav]

Which other car company can boast that their customers driving experience keeps evolving every 3 months!

[Scott Dembraski @SDembraski]

Tesla fans across the world are always learning patience.

-EU and UK waiting for FSD approval.
-AI3 drivers waiting for FSD 14 from FSD 12
-China and Australia waiting for FSD 14 from FSD 13
- AI4 in US waiting for FSD 14.3.1
-Cybertruck waiting for ASS
-Everyone waiting for spring update 2026

😅 each day is a new story of excitement as we see each goal is accomplished.

Regardless we all should be grateful for what we have compared to the rest of the world drivers. Still light years ahead of most if not all other automakers.

[Abhinav Gupta @gabhinav]

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

NEWS: Dutch regulators (RDW), which just approved @Tesla FSD (Supervised) in the Netherlands, have just issued an official statement:

"Due to the continuous strict monitoring of the driver in the vehicle, the system is safer than other driver assistance systems. We have thoroughly researched and checked this system, more than a year and a half.

The RDW has issued a type approval for Tesla's driver's assistance system, FSD Supervised. This driver's assistance system has been extensively researched and tested on our test track and on public roads for more than a half years. Safety is paramount for the RDW. The proper use of this driver's system makes a positive contribution to road safety."

This approval from the RDW clears the path for approval in other European countries. Tesla owners in the Netherlands will be receiving FSD (Supervised) on their cars shortly. Amazing day!
