Toddler soccer star Nevada has a new home on the field. Former US Men’s National Team player Eddie Johnson saw the viral video of police being called to Nevada’s youth league game in Winter Park, Florida, and offered the 3 year old a spot in his Orlando training program starting in January. Johnson told Nevada the people who tried to take his dreams away made him the most famous 3 year old in the world instead. The family’s GoFundMe for his training has topped $20,500.

The United States recorded the second largest deterioration in Positive Peace score of any nation since 2015. At 28, the US still ranks relatively high on the PPI and an imminent loss of internal peace is unlikely. But the trend, driven by sharp declines in rule of law, press freedom and social cohesion alongside rising corruption and factionalised elites, is alarming.

Teenagers dress as KKK for Halloween party—walk down neighborhood street yelling N-word.
"We hate [N-words] !"
they yell terrorizing families.
Other teens laugh & encourage them to shout more hate.
"One, two, three — bye [N-words] !"
Boy filming calls them "the team"—so maybe those under the robes could be identified as participants in high school sports together.
Witnesses say the crowd first gathered for a Halloween party at a residential house.
Then the group wearing the KKK costumes decided to march down the residential streets & scream the N-word.
Incident occurred on the Eastside of El Paso, Texas.

Okay, I will admit that Norway does have one or two good things going for them.... But they fail in the only thing that matters. What a shithouse country.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

This paper answers why confident idiots run the world.
Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy.
It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.”
they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception.
And the results are wild.
participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile.
they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence.
the paper revealed a brutal paradox:
the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain.
if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing.
this creates a dangerous systemic loop.
the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ignorance, allowing them to speak first, demand authority, and never second-guess their decisions.
meanwhile, the actual experts suffer the exact inverse.
top performers in the study consistently underestimated their rank. because a task was easy for them, they falsely assumed it was easy for everyone else.
they hesitate. they obsess over nuance. they assume they have nothing unique to add.
we are biologically wired to confuse confidence with competence.
the loudest person in the room gets promoted, gets funded, and gets the microphone, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are physically incapable of seeing what they don't.
the only defense mechanism is building systems that stop rewarding absolute certainty and start demanding proof of work.

Its fascinating that since the start of Sudan's war, many of us have lamented that it is always overshadowed by the crisis in Gaza. Now the UAE candidate for UN SecGen is winning plaudits for getting humanitarian aid into Gaza and silence over her defense of her country's policies in Sudan. Once again proving the point that Sudan is always overshadowed by seemingly more pressing issues. theguardian.com/world/2026/o…

World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹
Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️
