Pelé remains the only player in history to win three FIFA World Cup titles (1958, 1962, and 1970).

In 2000, he was the joint-winner of the FIFA Player of the Century award alongside Diego Maradona.

All the records broken by Lionel Messi today:

Most FIFA World Cup finals goals by a football (soccer) player - 18

Most FIFA World Cup matches played in by an individual - 28

Most matches won by a player at the football (soccer) FIFA World Cup - 18

Most minutes played in the football (soccer) FIFA World Cup - 2,489

We are witnessing history.

#BREAKING: Lawrence re Trump calling Obama a “stupid SOB” in France: “Once again, the standard warning we should be issuing to anyone under say 25 years old, who might not know that presidents have NEVER spoken about previous presidents that way, and especially NEVER criticized previous presidents while in a foreign country as Trump was today, in France.” 😳

Vancouver crushed it with the Science World-to-Giant World Cup Ball conversion.

Shoutout to the dude that dropped the final panel for the makeover.

LEGO just dropped its largest set ever: La Sagrada Familia.

It has 12,060 pieces and costs $800. The set comes 100 years after Antoni Gaudi’s death (June 10, 1926).

The details are insane including spires, carvings and interior with light shining through stain-glass windows.

Either this story leaves you satisfied (“THEY know about the importance of time!”) or it heightens your anxiety (“I could never live in a culture where people are so OBSESSED with being late!”). Which is it for you?

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

PepsiCo just closed two Frito-Lay plants. 430 workers in California and 454 in Florida. Campbell's shut its chip factory in Massachusetts. Smucker took a nearly $1 billion loss on Twinkies. Hershey's confectionery volumes fell 5% in a single quarter. The reason is one molecule. Semaglutide. I manufacture chemicals. 23% of American households now have a GLP-1 user. Each one consumes roughly 800 fewer calories per day. J.P. Morgan estimates a $30-55 billion annual demand reduction in food. Nestle launched its first new American brand in three decades, built for people who eat less. The $12 trillion food industry employs 30% of the global workforce. A single molecule is restructuring what humans eat. The companies that ignored it got fried. Chemistry is always the bottleneck.

This animated globe by @tylermorganwall gives us a rather immersive view of global population. I particularly love how clear the "empty hemisphere" appears.

Two indie devs made a game where you run your own video store in the early 90s. It’s currently the #5 top-selling game on Steam.

- Rent out VHS tapes & manage customers
- Charge Late & Broken Fees
- Upgrade & customise your store

It’s called Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator
