El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.

“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.

The scariest finding in this paper: the subjects couldn't tell it was happening.

UPenn ran this study on 48 healthy adults. One group slept 8 hours. Another slept 6. Another slept 4. For 14 straight days. They tested cognitive performance every 2 hours from 7:30am to 11:30pm.

The 6-hour group's reaction times, working memory, and sustained attention deteriorated on a near-linear curve. By day 14 they were performing at the same level as someone who hadn't slept at all in 48 hours. The 4-hour group hit that threshold by day 6.

Here's the part that should unsettle everyone who thinks they "do fine" on 6 hours: the subjects' self-reported sleepiness flatlined after the first few days. Their brains kept getting worse. Their perception of how impaired they were stopped updating. The cognitive decline was invisible to the person experiencing it.

The researchers found a hard threshold. Any wakefulness beyond 15.84 hours in a day produces cumulative neurobiological cost. That cost compounds every single day you exceed it and does not reset with a weekend of sleeping in.

About 35% of American adults sleep less than 7 hours a night. 40% of those get 6 hours or less. In 1942 that number was 11%. We built an entire professional culture around a sleep schedule that this paper says is functionally equivalent to pulling consecutive all-nighters.

"I'm fine on 6 hours" is the most common response to sleep research. The first thing chronic sleep debt destroys is your ability to notice chronic sleep debt.

Victor Wembanyama diz que vai INVESTIR diretamente parte dos seus recursos financeiros no meio ambiente.

Ele está INCOMODADO com o fato da NBA ser uma das ligas esportivas mais poluentes do mundo, vide que os 30 times voam 41 vezes por temporada.

Por isso e por motivos ambientais num geral, num futuro próximo, ele vai investir em companhias que procuram soluções quanto ao gás carbônico lançado na camada de ozônio.

🗣️ - Wemby:

“Claro, eu me importo muito com isso, e sinto uma certa culpa por poluir tanto como alguém que voa 41 vezes por temporada.

Mas quero fazer algo quanto a parte do carbono no nosso ar através de qualquer impacto que eu possa dar.

Seja financeiramente, socialmente, quero ter um impacto para o futuro... Então vou investir, sim, mas não esperando lucro.”

The blessed month of Ramadan has arrived yet again. It has arrived not with resistance, but with surrender.

This blessed month is a quiet collective revolution of souls traveling along side a world that worships bombast, individualism, warmongering, and arrogance. For thirty days, billions of Muslims refuse the lie that we are only what we consume, choosing hunger over excess, stillness over noise, and remembrance over distraction.

There is no other event in human kind like the month of Ramadan. There is no book in the history of humankind that has been memorialized like the Quran.

Muslim or not, as a human being you should be aware of the beauty of the month of Ramadan.

Ramadan Mubarak to all of my people.

“One man of popularity can let the world know the problem. He might lose a few dollars himself telling the truth, might lose his life, but he's helping millions. But if I kept my mouth shut because I can make millions–this ain't doing nothing. I just love freedom and flesh and blood of my people more than I do the money.”–Muhammad Ali (1971)

Malcolm X called Zionism colonialism & stood with Palestine long before it was popular.

1964 — Malcolm X visits Gaza
1964 — Publishes “Zionist Logic”
1965 — Calls Zionism colonialism
1965 — Assassinated

They buried this part of his legacy.
Let’s bring it back.

A thread 🧵

As of 2024, prescription drugs are more widely abused in the United States than cocaine. Approximately 16.3 million Americans reported misusing prescription drugs in 2024, compared to 5 million who reported using cocaine. 

The pharmaceutical “Narcoterrorist” making the most money from prescription drug sales in the United States as of 2024 was Johnson & Johnson, with over $55 billion in annual pharmaceutical sales revenue.

Johnson & Johnson has produced the most opioids in the United States and is a major supplier of raw materials (including opium poppies).

“Johnson & Johnson’s supply chain began in Tasmania, an island 150 miles south of mainland Australia, where scientists in the mid-1990s altered the genetics of thousands of plants to engineer a ‘super poppy’ that was particularly rich in opiates.”

The poppies were then exported to the United States where another Johnson & Johnson subsidiary refined them into oxycodone and hydrocodone, and the narcotics were shipped as white crystalline powders to the nation’s pillmakers.

These pharmaceutical companies are the corporatized-cartels. They’re movin’ weight globally. They’re supported by both the Republicans and the Democrats, because they’re putting money in both of their pockets through PAC’s.

@Caikev @tiktok_us I hit a $40,000+ card with her & received it no problem. A Wembanyama Prizm RC /5.

This is a well-known breaker who’s had several years in the industry… Highly doubt she is trying to pull off a scam for a card like this.
