At the 2003 Critics’ Choice Awards, Jack Nicholson won an award but confessed he was too drunk to make it to the stage. Instead, he enlisted Robin Williams to accept on his behalf, leading to one of the funniest and most memorable acceptance speeches of the evening.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.
A video that the world must never forget.
El gobierno de EEUU prohibió toda venta de boletería del Mundial a iraníes, no importa si llevan 30 años viviendo en otra parte, no importa nada: los iraníes no entran y punto. Cuando Indonesia quiso hacer esto con Israel en el Mundial Sub20 2023, la FIFA le quitó la sede
Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon.
As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation.
I’ve never seen something like this.
🚨🚨Just in case you missed it. Here is Benjamin Netanyahu in his own words, thanking Congress for implementing “his plan” to take over the US military and intelligence services..🚨🚨
China’s started using anti fatigue laser lights on some highways to keep drivers alert at night.
The idea is to stop drivers getting drowsy on long, boring night drives.
Johnny Depp was reportedly so committed to Captain Jack Sparrow during the filming of At World’s End (2007) that he was rarely out of character on set. According to Tom Hollander, when he let out a curse, the correction didn’t come from Depp—it came from Sparrow himself.. “You cannot curse in a Disney film, mate.”
“We are now 716 days into a genocide and yet Israel are allowed to participate in footfall tournaments.
WHY ARE THERE DOUBLE STANDARDS!!!”

The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.
Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:
"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."
He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.
His point is something most people are too afraid to say.
AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?
He also flagged something nobody is talking about.
AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.
"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."
And his final warning was the sharpest of all.
"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."
The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.
Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.
