China didn’t win the EV race. It ended it.
2010: USA and Japan were ahead. China was noise. 2015: China takes the lead. 2021: 3.2 million. 2022: 6.2 million. 2023: 8.9 million. 2024: 10.6 million. 2025: 13.3 million.
The rest of the top 10 combined still can’t touch it. USA: 1.53M. Germany: 860k.
Everyone else is fighting for third place.
This isn’t consumer preference. It’s industrial policy executed at scale, with cost curves Western OEMs cannot match.
The architecture of the global auto industry is already decided.
The talent in Barcelona’s youth system is ridiculous.🔥
These kids are 11/12 years old.🤯
This is what happens when you stop waiting for talent… and start building it.
Create the platform. Start them young. Instil the habits, the standards, and the identity early.
World-class teams aren’t found. They’re forged, years before anyone is watching.
La Masia isn’t lucky. They’re intentional.
Same rule applies in business, sport, and life:
Invest early. Develop deliberately. Build the pipeline.
The organisations that do this will dominate the next decade.
Want a sober reminder of where we are in addressing the climate crisis?
Over the last 50 years the oil & gas industry has made $3 billion in profits every day. $52 trillion in pure profit: https://t.co/5zW1IF00Xa

The most socially acceptable way to destroy your life:
Overthink everything.
Act on nothing.
Your mind calls it “figuring things out.”
Here are Eckhart Tolle’s 7 steps to break the loop: 👇
1. Recognize that there’s a voice in your head that never shuts up.
Dear @WhiteHouse: Please send trump to every single swing district.
He can tell the voters directly why he doesn’t care about data center energy use, or skyrocketing gas prices, or the biggest cuts to health care ever.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The 56-year old whose biological age is 36:
Julie Clark.
She's outpacing Bryan Johnson, the $2 million/year biohacker, on just $4/day.
Here's her record-breaking longevity routine that's almost too simple to believe (bookmark this): 🧵
Oil is back above $100, and gas is above $4.
These numbers are brutal for inflation and Americans' pocketbooks.
And there is no end in sight for their fundamental cause: Trump's war of choice in Iran.
Trump promised a manufacturing boom.
Instead, we've lost 75,000 jobs and $60 billion in annual factory construction since he took office.

Artist, photographer, bass player, ground breaker.
Unapologetic and fierce.
Jennifer Finch was all that and more. (also my first ever music interview!)
Rest easy, Jen.
The problem isn't the single mom getting $6 a day in food stamps.
The problem is Jeff Bezos, worth $269 billion, more than doubled his wealth since 2020 while paying wages so low the number of Amazon workers on food stamps & Medicaid nearly tripled.
Bezos is the welfare queen.
This amazing website, called "Worse on Purpose," is cataloguing all the ways companies are deliberately and secretively degrading their own products
As usual, in most cases the culprit is private equity extracting enormous sums while everyone else is left worse off.
El Momento exacto donde el Mundo abrió los ojos 👀 y se dieron cuenta de que a Messi y Argentina los ayudan y son unos tramposos….
Era el mejor gol del Mundial
I’m so proud of Flava Flav for standing up for women in sports like he did for the Olympic women’s hockey team and inviting them and the Paralympic athletes to Las Vegas for a She weekend to celebrate their wins.
Trump’s draconian cuts to health care, education, and foreign aid were rationalized on balancing the budget.
Yet thanks to his tax cuts for the rich, the deficit is on track to hit almost 7% of GDP by 2036.

The United States has now reported the highest number of measles cases in any year since 1991. And the year still has more than 5 months to go. This is an almost 100% vaccine preventable illness. Why is RFK Jr still Health Sec?
Never confuse education with intelligence.
Intelligence isn't ability to remember and repeat, like they teach in school.
Intelligence is ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations. —Richard Feynman
