Love #Brazil and what's happening there. What's proven is, if the people are sharper, smarter and aware, fascism has no place in the world. Having spent a lot of time in Brazil, I am so glad for them and grateful for what they have shown the world. Obrigado, Brasil, e que isso continue por muito tempo.

In any other setting, this would be a no-no but with this dumbo, it’s normal. And people clap for this too. America deserves this guy. American media deserve this. American politics deserve this. Spineless people. America doesn’t have the right to be World’s moral police when their own is shit.
Trump: I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. Stand up.

The degradation of leadership, especially in democracies, reflects how low the quality of our thinking, attitudes and behaviour has become. We seem increasingly incapable of caring about people who don’t look like us. It will only get worse when politics offers just two positions: for or against. The debate on what truly brings progress requires nuance, something a thick-headed, social-media-addicted generation seems increasingly incapable of. This isn’t going to end well. #Democracy #SocialMedia #Leadership #CriticalThinking

On an @IndiGo6E flight from Chennai to Coimbatore. Cabin crew can speak only English and Hindi. Never seen a tone deaf country or an airline that doesn’t have even one staff who speak the local language since both cities are in the same State. And they say ‘Incredible India by Indigo’. Incredible, indeed!

Conflicted to be on @X run by the most vile, immoral, evil, heartless scum @elonmusk Money doesn’t guarantee humanity. He is a great example of that. @Starlink is the monster he created to control the world, taking dumb Presidents and leaders into his trap.

Hi @EmiratesNBD_AE, While I was still in Dubai, I call to add a merchant, Suica Japan Travel card, to accepted merchants on Apple Pay. Once I reached Tokyo, for the same merchant, Apple Pay declined. I had to do a roaming call that lasted ~4 mins, you told me all done and I never have to call again. Now, trying to reload the travel card. Same issue. I can’t call again because each call is about AED 50 and that’s the total reload value to the card. Why are you incredibly inefficient in the name of putting safe controls. There’s a difference between guarding fraud and taking full control. Card may be issued by you but I am the one paying the bills. Not sure what to do now. Thanks for being so terrible.

Hi @dutweets @duCares Are you guys experiencing outage? Your WiFi, website, support centre chat — all down right now.

Ironic that @duCares says 24x7 support. At least tell us what the issue is or 24x7 only when everything works?

It works now. Next time, a warning or post-outage acknowledgement can reduce traffic of complaints / frustration. Internet isn’t only for doomscrolling, at times, life savers are on WiFi too.

Weird as it claims. Nathan’s staging feels so real yet the slight of camera and settings fools you to look like an honest insight into what went wrong. But, nevertheless, feels like a must watch!

What people like @Carra23 and the rest of the pundits, who have won barely anything to compare against what @carras16 has done in football, is to ignore how Kobbie, Marcus, and the Old Trafford faithfuls have begun to love the team again after a very long time is beyond results. Understand results are key but what he has done to the club is incredibly valuable. @ManUtd #MUFC @WayneSBarton @AndyMitten

Would love for @ManUtd to get @Benzema as he is available for free and have a pay for performance deal or some such structure. Like we did with @7HenrikLarsson @FabrizioRomano help with your #HereWeGo magic. #MUFC

Hey @claudeai My current Claude account is configured to an email that is no longer active so 2FA doesn't work for me. I can't even cancel the account from claude account. What do I do? I went to your intercom bot and it says "Send your email from an address you can access, and cc your old (inaccessible) email address on it. In the message, confirm you want to cancel the subscription associated with that copied email" So then I asked whom should I send the email to? And that's that - it went into a loop of saying the same thing.

Hey @ManUtd Please sign Vozinha. Not just for the story but for talent and for what the club stands for. This will inspire nations and teams to give it all. #mundialdefútbol2026 #Fıfaworldcup

Martin Tyler has to be the worst commentator to listen to. He speaks like there’s only one team playing and has a class undertone. Muting #England  in opening #2026FIFAWorldCup match against #Croatia .

Hello @rrhoover @vedikaja_in Singaporean in Dubai watching usvc.com/ from the sidelines. Asking for every non-US investor watching this. How does one go about it to be a part of something I absolutely love.

Roger Federer only won 54% of his points. Only 1% of Picasso's work are acclaimed. More than 90% of Frank Sinatra's songs are unheard of. The math of success is brutal. It is a terrible metric. My views on success being overrated. itsvalli.substack.com/p/succ…

The Tamil Nadu elections have handed a mandate to a party of overnight wonders, led by someone with no evident experience in running a State. Democracy, after all, ensures people get what they vote for. This time, it was shaped heavily by the 18–24 age group voters with little appreciation for the credentials and competence required to govern a complex State like Tamil Nadu. One can only hope they do not come to regret it. As history shows, democracy does not always produce the best outcomes. All the best to a State I once loved and called home. Not anymore.

Just like you wouldn’t hand over the CEO role of a massive organisation with all its people, policies, finances and products to a complete novice with zero executive experience, even if the current setup has flaws. That’s what handing the reins of the State feels like right now. Change was needed, no question. But this ain’t it.
