You are richer than the most powerful king who ever ruled France.

In 1715, Louis XIV ran an empire from Versailles. He died of gangrene in his leg, an infection a $4 box of antibiotics would clear today.

The richest, most powerful man in Europe, killed by something your local pharmacy fixes in a week.

By any absolute measure, you live better than he did. Yet almost no one feels rich. Because wealth, for most people, isn't absolute. It's relative.

In 1995 two Harvard researchers asked 257 people: would you rather earn $50k while everyone around you earns $25k, or earn $100k while everyone earns $200k? Twice the money in the second case. Half chose the first. They picked being objectively poorer just to stay ahead of the people next to them.

That's the trap. If your scoreboard is other people, you've entered a zero sum game you can't win. There's always a bigger boat.

The only way out is to stop comparing and start creating. Building isn't zero sum. It's the one infinite game worth playing.

When it is all over, I will pack my belongings and go home.

Like Cincinnatus returning to his farm, I will leave behind ambition, and titles

There I will stand beside my greatest achievement, family and loved ones.

That was always the goal.

“I cook for my husband”= You’re a slave

“We split the bills”= Your husband is useless

“I spoil my wife”= You’re a simp

“I dress modestly”= You’re in an abusive marriage

“My wife and I make decisions together”= You’re not a real man

“I can’t do random nights out because I’m married” = You’re husband/wife is controlling

“My wife earns more than me”= You’re a useless leech

“My husband is the breadwinner”= You have no say since you bring nothing to the table

“I don’t need a male/female bestie because I’m married”= Your partner is insecure

This is how some of you see the world 😂

Y’all are far too pathetic and miserable to really understand what goes into making a marriage successful. Happy couples should keep it to themselves because you guys will find a fault in everything they do.

Yesterday’s refereeing was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.

For the first 15 minutes, the ref fell for Arsenal’s shenanigans: blowing a foul for every slight fall and every little touch. Then, all of a sudden, he clocked their dirty antics and took complete control of the game.

He stopped buying their silly theatrics: Mosquera time wasting, Havertz falling at every slight touch, Saka wasting time for the corner, Arteta touchline tantrums, Madueke diving. I can go on and on

Arsenal have become so used to getting away with this cunning stuff from Premier League refs that they seemed genuinely shocked when it didn’t work.

I’m glad the referee refused to be intimidated and stood his ground. That’s how you referee a final.

You might con your way to a Premier League title, but you can’t do it in the UCL. Either you play like real men or go home

People criticise Man City because they don’t have as much fans as Man United and the likes, but one thing they know how to do is honor people.

Yesterday, after the game at Etihad, they awarded Bernardo and John Stones a lifetime ticket to Man City games, amongst many other things.

On the red side of Manchester, Paul Scholes was complaining recently on a podcast that he was struggling to get a match ticket for a Man United game, this is a player who won dozens of titles at the club.

In this clip, they also honor a player who won the FA Cup for them 50 years ago.

Run it down to Kompany, to Fernandinho, to the new generation, Man City as a club know how to honor people. Give them that.

In fact, they missed honoring Ederson and Gundogan, guess what, they brought them back to the club yesterday, and the event today.

Their fans also feel closer to the club and players than many bigger clubs. This event was £12 and sold out. Look at the organisation.

I studied political science as a minor in the university and this was one of the books that we read and referenced in one of the courses.

Initially as young chaps this book infuriated us and we began to blame the west for our woes until we came across another book “How Africa Underdeveloped Africa”.

Till date, I have no blames or fight with the Europeans. The time for blaming them is long gone. Now it is our evil leaders who are constantly looting and ravaging the continent.

Sometimes I wonder if there’s really a problem with the black race because how can a whole continent have wicked leaders? Only the “white” part of the continent have major developments.

Africans, it is your leaders that have ravaged you, not Europeans.

My brother Kevin,Unajua some of us work,Extremely hard. Mwanaume kama mimi kuambiwa nanuka jasho is not an insult,can never be. But you wouldn’t understand,when kairo employed you trying to rescue you from your underfunded alcoholism,2 hours later you were asleep under a car. Jasho utatoa wapi?

You are a loser with a chronic illness I will not disclose. Claiming to have rich parents but the truth is your parents know very well you cannot survive without them,you are as feeble as a deflated penis. Umetoka rehab juzi day 2 umerudi kwa chingli. So how can you lecture a grown man like me whom families depend on, about sweating,you have never sweated. You only sweat when you’re fainting after imbibing chang’aa.

Mimi ni mwanaume bana,my name is Kimani,not Cinderrela. You have no range to lecture me on hygiene,my sweat comes out as a previledge that I have done my part of the day,yours comes out as a punishment from your worn out cells

You can so easily connect with Ronaldo. He struggles like a normal man. He loses more often than he wins like the most of us. But when he wins, you can see an outpour of emotions in him. He gets criticized the most. His wins are undermined. His achiements are always under scrutiny. He is never good enough for people. He's the Vegeta to your Goku. He is Billy Butcher to your Homelander. He may not be the media's GOAT but he is the people's GOAT. He is my GOAT

[Jillian @JillianChili]

If he wasn't playing a superhero and this was a prestige HBO Drama Antony Starr would've been sweeping the Emmys for this performance

[sen 🦇 @cartmansfinsta]

What’s so crazy about Antony Starr as Homelander is he had no one to look to when he was becoming Homelander. He was the first to ever do it, if the role was to come around again no one will ever be able to recreate what he did with that character. So long story short yes 100% the best super villain since heath’s joker.

Nietzsche’s advice on marriage.

“Marriage as a long conversation.

When entering a marriage, one should ask the question: do you think you will be able to have good conversations with this woman right into old age?

Everything else in marriage is transitory, but most of the time in interaction is spent in conversation.”

🚨Oliver Glasner just delivered one of the coldest press conference responses of the season

Reporter asked him about the title race and whether Palace could influence it…

Glasner replied:

“I checked my pay slips… I didn’t get any money from Arsenal or City.”

Then he finished with THIS:

“Our influence in the title race is definitely less than VAR.”

Troy was so good. But you have to realize people at the time thought this was a B movie. The Lord of the Rings movies had just come out. Gladiator was only a few years old. Pirates of the Caribbean was the year before. We just thought movies would be good forever.
