Ronnie O’Sullivan: “If Mark Selby is struggling mentally and I’m struggling mentally and John Higgins is struggling mentally then the other 124 players will 1 million percent be struggling.”

⛔️ They were smashing shops .... The French police intervened ... only to discover that their colleagues from the secret police and far-right extremist groups were the ones setting fires and breaking things ... so they backed off from them‼️
⛔️Look at them wearing the same clothes as the young people from the Arab Muslim suburbs‼️

They had Amanda Nunes warm up with Dustin Poirier at ATT to prepare for her fight against Valentina Shevchenko… and apparently, things didn’t go as planned 😂
🗣️ Amanda: "He connected with a jab, and I said 'I don't think this is a good idea.'"
🗣️ Jorge: "Damn Dustin, you're the reason she left?"

Kevin Costner’s wife asked for $248,000 a month in child support. In court, she said she didn’t know how she’d afford groceries.
They had a prenup. It gave her 30 days to leave his house after she filed for divorce. A judge had to order her out.
They married in 2004 and had three children. In May 2023, after 18 years, she filed. The house was his, bought in 1988, before the marriage.
The prenup paid her $100,000 on the wedding day, $100,000 on the first anniversary, and $1 million after she filed.
He offered about $51,000 a month. A judge set $129,755 for now. She asked for more.
She moved into a $40,000-a-month rental and said it wasn’t enough for the kids.
That summer, she was photographed on vacation in Hawaii with a family friend, Josh Connor.
In September 2023, the judge decided: $63,209 a month.
In the video below, Kevin arrives at court: “We’re talking about somebody I love on the other side.” Then listen for what she says is in the kids’ DNA.
She later married Josh Connor.
The case for Christine: 18 years, three kids, and a husband who made over $1 million a month on Yellowstone.
The case for Kevin: she signed the prenup, and their oldest son drives a 15-year-old truck.
Was $63,209 a month for three kids fair, or did she ask for too much?

Share this and tell folks to study it. This is a common tactic employed by the reactionary forces of the state to try and discredit protest movements everywhere.
🔴 À Metz, deux policiers dissimulés, vêtus de noir et encagoulés, ont jeté des grenades dans une rue passante avant d’être escortés et exfiltrés par d’autres policiers.
Cette scène s’est déroulée à Metz, dans la ruelle située à l’arrière du café Blondel.
Partout en France, des foules immenses et pacifiques ont défilé ce samedi 17 octobre contre la vie chère et dans la continuité de la révolte de la jeunesse, en mouvement depuis trois semaines pour abroger Parcoursup, changer les rythmes et obtenir des conditions d'éducation dignes.
Pour tenter d'étouffer le mouvement, Sébastien Lecornu et Laurent Nuñez ont organisé le chaos et multiplié les violences contre les manifestants lycéens, étudiants, salariés, fonctionnaires et autres secteurs de la société mobilisés dans ce mouvement d'une ampleur jamais vu depuis mai 1968.

A farmer, tired of rats destroying his crops and stealing his grain, came up with a clever but cruel plan. He threw a dead pig into a deep, abandoned well. Attracted by the smell, nearly 80 rats rushed into the well to feast on the carcass. At first, everything seemed wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone, and the rats ate until they were satisfied.
But when the food was gone, they discovered something terrifying. The walls of the well were too steep to climb. They were trapped. Days passed, and hunger turned into desperation. Desperation turned into aggression. The rats that had once eaten peacefully beside one another began fighting for survival. Eventually, they began killing and eating each other.
One by one, their numbers dwindled until only a single rat remained. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had survived by consuming its own kind. Then the farmer returned, lowered a rope into the well, and rescued the last surviving rat. But he didn't save it out of kindness or compassion.
The farmer knew the rat had learned to survive by hunting other rats. When he released it into his fields, it would continue killing its own kind instead of eating his grain. The farmer had turned his enemy into his greatest weapon.
And that is the lesson of divide and conquer. Those who control the trap don't need to fight the battles themselves. They simply create the conditions in which others turn against one another.
The rats believed their enemies were the other rats. They never realized that the true enemy was the farmer who had put them there.
The greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in front of you. Sometimes it's the one who created the conflict and stands quietly watching you destroy each other.
Before you turn against your neighbor because of their political beliefs, ask yourself who benefits from keeping Americans divided. While we fight each other over Republican and Democrat, we may be overlooking those who profit from the conflict. Perhaps the real question isn't which side you're on, but who built the well—and why they want us fighting at the bottom of it.

Your name is Jean-Marc, you’re 46, and you run a video game and collectibles shop in Nice, wedged between an optician and a real estate agency selling 1-bed flats for €410,000 “with sea view” if you lean far enough off the balcony.
You know every GTA San Andreas cheat by heart. You tested all of them in 2005 on the PS2 in your bedroom at your mum’s place.
You opened in 2011 with a state-backed loan at 4.7%, and the naive belief that passion eventually pays.
It did pay, sort of. €1,900 a month in a good year, after the French tax office has eaten first, second and third. Your commercial rent is indexed on a formula nobody in the Republic actually understands.
You sell Funko Pops at €17.99, sealed Pokémon cards, refurbished controllers. You let little Enzo, 12, pay in installments because he’s saving for a Switch 2. You close at 7:30pm and walk home because the harbor parking is €3.40 an hour.
Saturday, there’s a protest “against the cost of living.”
You also think living costs too much. You almost went.
At 5:12pm, your metal shutter gets ripped open with a crowbar.
Forty teenagers in tracksuits and crossbody bags walk into your shop like it’s a bonus level. They take the PS5s, the Dragon Ball figures, the till with today’s €280 and even the box of paper bags that say “thank you for your visit.”
A guy in a floral shirt films it vertically for TikTok.
You step outside and say “stop, this is my shop.”
You get hit from behind.
Then rocks.
They laugh. Floral shirt guy is thrilled: good angle, good lighting.
Sunday morning, the police tell you there are “1,400 arrests nationwide” and they won’t send a squad for some Funko Pops. Filing the complaint takes 2 hours 40. The officer types with two fingers on Windows 7.
Monday noon, your insurer reminds you that your €1,140-a-year policy has a €3,000 deductible and a “riots and civil commotion” exclusion on page 31, font size 6.
Saturday night, an MP explains on TV that “the anger is legitimate” and we “shouldn’t cry over shop windows.” He’s never owned a shop window. He has a state-funded apartment.
Sunday, your limited edition Vegeta figures show up on Vinted. “Brand new, never opened, €39, pickup in North Nice.”
The seller has 4.9 stars.
Monday, the tax office emails you. They haven’t heard about the riots. They’ve heard about your payment deadline.
You did everything right, Jean-Marc. That was never the problem.
The problem is you were playing by the rules in a lobby where nobody else does.
So stop believing in the State. It’s not coming to save you. It’s coming to collect.
Stop voting. Every five years they hand you the controller, and it’s never plugged in.
Go to the gym. Not for revenge. For you. Because when the system folds, the only asset nobody can loot is the one you built under a barbell.
And make money they can’t see. Cash, side hustles, sats on a cold wallet in a sock drawer. Not your keys, not your coins. Not your shop, not your loss.
Fuck the system, Jean-Marc.
It already did it to you first.
