Norway fan Viking row.
Imagine being a villager in the 11th century and hearing that in the fog off the coast of your village.
You run. fast. But not fast venough.
Watching the World Cup has me asking questions. Do Europeans get issued 8 weeks of vacation, unlimited airline miles, and a trust fund at birth? Because every match I turn on there are 40,000 fans following their team to a different state or country on a Tuesday afternoon while Americans are hiding in a work bathroom checking scores.
The Norwegian Viking Row is objectively cool.
But this type of mass, coordinated fan activity depends on having lots of fans who could get visas and afford exorbitant tickets.
Countries like Senegal have fan culture that’s just as good. But we don’t get to see it
BREAKINGNEWS Trump lied by claiming the vandalism was done by a knife and the contractors aren't at fault. Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has 24 hour live feed. There is no evidence of any such claim. Trump should be held accountable for lying. 🚨
Wow! The small island nation of Cape Verde just pulled off another stunner at the World Cup today with a 2-2 draw against heavily favored Uruguay.
They now have a great chance to advance to the knockout round!
Look at how excited their fans are!
Cape Verde 🇨🇻 have not lost a single match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
A country of 530,000 people. Unbeaten against Spain and Uruguay. Nobody saw this coming. 😱
My father is a retired army officer. He is Chinese, but look at the respect he received from the army who came to pay respects at his funeral. So don't talk to me about racial issues in Malaysia; we are the most harmonious country.
MAJOR BREAKING: Iran’s delegation has just left the venue where negotiations were supposed to take place with JD Vance in Switzerland, because of Trump’s threats.
Iran is demanding Trump apologize.
What a shitshow.
🚨BREAKING: President Obama breaks his silence after Trump signed the MOU surrender with Iran.
Obama says that under the JCPOA he negotiated, "Iran had agreed not to develop nuclear weapons," and Trump pulling out of it "caused Iran to develop more nuclear capacity."
Obama questioned Trump's rationale for his war, saying we're likely worse off now:
"We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, put an enormous strain on our military; a lot of people have died, and it feels like we are back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little worse off."
This MIC DROP from Obama is guaranteed to drive Trump NUTS.
Girlie pop. Malaysia literally tops the list for illegal immigrants in Australia every single year. We often see cases of Malaysians being denied entry into S.Korea coz we are famous for overstaying & working there illegally . Get off your high horse.
Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.
Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸
Le gravi e offensive parole del Presidente Trump nei confronti del Presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni offendono tutta l’Italia. Per questo motivo ho deciso di annullare la mia visita negli Stati Uniti prevista per i prossimi 21 e 22 giugno.
BREAKING: Italy's deputy PM and foreign minister Antonio Tajani just CANCELLED his planned diplomatic trip to Washington on monday, declaring that Trump's "serious and offensive words" directed at the prime minister "offend all of Italy."
This comes after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni TORCHED Donald Trump after he claimed she “begged” him for a photo at the G7 and that he only took it because he “felt sorry for her.”
The Italian PM was wondering.
"I don’t know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own allies; it’s not the first time this happens."
She went on saying, "I can only say that I’m sorry he doesn’t show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, whose leaders he instead shows himself to be much more accommodating towards."
Italy's prime minister is a boss lady.
Tau tak knp maintenance kita teruk? Sebab selalu yg dpt tender utk maintenance job bukan company yg berpengalaman buat maintenance, diorg subcon kat org lain. Dah berpuluh tahun benda ni. Selain korupsi pejabat tanah, bad maintenance adalah satu lagi penyakit yg susah nak hilang.
The untold story of Malaysia's role in SpaceX's survival.
Malaysia was instrumental in keeping SpaceX alive in its early years. One could argue it helped save Elon during his lowest financial period.
Falcon 1's first three launches, 2006 to 2008, all failed. The company was nearly bankrupt — grown men were weeping after the third failure. The fourth flight in September 2008 finally reached orbit with a dummy payload, RatSat. But still, no paying customer.
SpaceX needed a real commercial customer to prove the business was viable.
That customer was Malaysia.
Malaysia was looking to launch its satellite, RazakSAT, and needed a reliable, cost-effective option. Dr Ahmad Sabirin first give Elon a call on Christmas 2003 to explore the possibilities of launching of satellite to the low equatorial orbit and met in El Segundo, And after many discussions, they agreed to launch from Omelek Island in the Kwajalein Atoll.
On July 14, 2009, RazakSAT flew — the fifth and final Falcon 1, and SpaceX's first-ever commercial launch. The Malaysian flag Jalur Gemilang was painted on the side of the rocket.
That payment helped SpaceX make payroll through its hardest stretch. And it put Malaysia in orbit. Win win.
For old times' sake, Elon should drop by Malaysia. Ask someone to hold his teh tarik for one more handshake.
Dr Ahmad Sabirin & Elon, 2004.
Bila bercakap tentang masyarakat India, kebiasaannya perbincangan akan tertumpu kepada berapa banyak program khas yang diumumkan, berapa ramai menteri India yang dilantik, atau agensi mana yang diwujudkan untuk menjaga kepentingan komuniti itu.
Saya faham kenapa pendekatan itu popular. Tetapi saya juga rasa sudah sampai masanya kita bercakap secara jujur tentang sama ada pendekatan itu benar-benar menyelesaikan masalah.
Pandangan saya mungkin tidak disenangi semua pihak.
Kita kena ubah budaya yang menyebabkan rakyat terpaksa "memohon". Sepatutnya, kalau dah benar-benar susah, golongan ini patut secara automatik mendapat bantuan.
Seorang keluarga India yang miskin tidak sepatutnya memerlukan program khas untuk membuktikan mereka layak dibantu. Begitu juga keluarga Cina yang miskin, keluarga Melayu yang miskin, atau mana-mana rakyat yang sedang bergelut untuk meneruskan kehidupan.
Fokus kerajaan sepatutnya bukan kepada siapa yang paling kuat mendakwa mewakili sesuatu kaum.
Fokus kerajaan mesti kepada siapa yang memerlukan bantuan dan memastikan mereka benar-benar menerima bantuan itu.
Mudah untuk mengatakan dasar perlu berasaskan keperluan. Ramai yang pernah mengatakannya. Cabaran sebenar ialah pelaksanaannya.
Sebab itu saya percaya kerajaan perlu berani menjawab satu soalan yang sering dielakkan: apakah sebenarnya yang dimaksudkan dengan "berasaskan keperluan"?
Apakah ukurannya? Siapa yang layak? Bagaimana kita memastikan bantuan sampai kepada mereka yang memerlukan, tanpa mengira kaum?
Kita perlu berani mengadakan perbincangan ini secara terbuka dan jujur dan mencari cara baru untuk memastikan rakyat yang benar-benar memerlukan menerima bantuan.
Pada akhirnya, rakyat tidak peduli siapa mendapat kredit politik kerana mereka mahu tahu sama ada kehidupan mereka menjadi lebih baik.
Obama put $400 million in euros & Swiss francs on pallets & shipped it to Iran via air freight, to settle an actual debt, and MAGA hasn't shut up about it for 10 years.
Trump is giving Iran $300 BILLION—not to repay a debt, but to end the needless war he started b/c Bibi said to.
