A Russian woman that's just been bankrupted by the loss of her business inventory due to Ukraine’s strikes on Moscow logistics facilities sums up life in Putin's Russia now that she has less than 300 rubles ($4) remaining her bank account.

Having lost millions, she further complains there's no gasoline or electricity in her town.

🚨 HEDGE FUNDS ARE DUMPING TECH AT A RECORD PACE.

The timing makes the situation even more important.

Just a few weeks ago, tech was one of the most crowded trades on Wall Street, with investors pouring into AI and semiconductor stocks.

Now, that trade is being sold off.

Selling has spread across software, semiconductors, and hardware, pushing 8-week tech outflows to their weakest level on record.

Investors are becoming more concerned that AI valuations and massive spending are rising much faster than the earnings needed to support them.

At the same time, hedge funds have raised bearish positions on the broader market to the highest level in a decade, showing this is about reducing overall risk, not just selling a few stocks.

Has the AI bubble popped?

Another BEAUTIFULLY BRIGHT morning in russia🔥🔥

If you need motivation, take a look at your father. If not for you, do it for him

How can i complain about my exhausting routine when a year ago i was praying for the opportunities i have today? growth has a strange way of making answered prayers feel ordinary. never become so comfortable that you forget what you once prayed for.

I don't know whether i am at peace or just don't give a f*ck, but whatever it is like it

Mastered the art of hiding my emotions but that mask might break Soon

Total madness has begun in Russia.

$RKLB Rocket lab's ceo never went to college. instead, he studied spacex's public material and built a $12 billion rocket empire. how? a learning method so powerful that nasa and spacex now teach it. here's peter beck's framework for learning anything fast:

Most aerospace ceos follow the same path.

Ivy league degree. phd in engineering. decades climbing corporate ladders.

Peter beck skipped all of that. and built something that has spacex looking over their shoulder.

Beck grew up in invercargill, new zealand. population 54,000. rocket companies: zero. no mit connections. no silicon valley network.

Just a kid obsessed with making things go fast.

At 18, he became an apprentice at fisher & paykel. not building rockets. building washing machines. while peers partied, beck stayed late in the workshop building rocket-powered bikes, scooters, and a jet pack.

Then he discovered spacex's technical archives were completely public.

Thousands of pages of rocket specifications. free. online. available to anyone.

Most people saw boring pdfs. beck saw a $100,000 education for $0.

He built his entire approach around 4 principles:

- learn by building, not reading
- test at 1/10th scale first
- document every failure
- iterate 10x faster than competitors

He never took a single aerospace class. instead he built dozens of mini rockets in his garage. each failure taught him more than any textbook.

Traditional aerospace builds big and tests once. beck builds small and tests 100 times. his team 3d-prints miniature engines in days, not months. while competitors spend millions on one test, rocket lab runs dozens.

He keeps pieces of failed rockets on his desk. not as reminders of defeat. as data.

By 2009, his team launched ātea-1, becoming the first private company in the southern hemisphere to reach space.
current valuation: $12 billion. launch success rate: 90%+.

From washing machine apprentice to aerospace titan in 15 years. no degree required.

Just curiosity, obsession, and a refusal to wait for permission.

Ps: beck didn’t wait for credentials. he started building with what he had and learned faster than everyone else. in 2026, the same approach works for content. you don't need a big platform to start. you need to start to get a big platform.

The Fed still talks about a 2% inflation target.
But since 2019, inflation has averaged well above that level.
Whether by design or circumstance, purchasing power has been eroded far faster than the stated objective.
Watch what policymakers do, not just what they say.

Get close to ambitious people and watch your whole baseline rise.

Their drive becomes contagious. their standards quietly reset yours. spend enough time around people who expect more from themselves and you start expecting more from you.

You become the average of who you're around. pick people whose habits you'd be proud to catch.

Waking up and realizing they don’t know what they’re doing…the currency will not reset…and you will just get old and die.

‼️🇺🇲🇮🇷 BIG | The Pentagon is dramatically accelerating its combat posture in the Middle East, mobilizing a massive wave of elite air power from European bases to the front lines of the escalating confrontation with the Iranian regime.

According to a U.S. official cited by CNN, Washington is deploying additional squadrons of F-16 and F-35 fighter jets alongside vital aerial refueling tankers to bolster offensive readiness. This massive influx of fifth-generation stealth fighters and long-range logistics assets signals that the Trump administration is actively preparing for a significant widening of the kinetic conflict against Iran, positioning overwhelming firepower within striking distance of Tehran's most critical strategic assets.

This massive forward deployment of American air supremacy serves as a definitive warning that the era of strategic passivity in the region is over. By stripping assets from European theaters, Washington is demonstrating a readiness to execute high-intensity, deep-penetration strikes to permanently dismantle Iran's ballistic capabilities and regional proxy networks. For too long, Tehran has operated with impunity, fueling global terror and supplying weapons to destabilize both Europe and the Middle East; this decisive military buildup indicates that the democratic alliance is moving to decisively crush the head of the serpent before its regional aggression can trigger a global conflagration.

Move like them, but never think like them.

Rule #1: Make money.

Rule #2: Use the money to make more money.

Rule #3: Never forget rule #1.

Before big money comes into your life, these signs always appear, don't ignore them.

1. Chaos shows up out of nowhere.
Plans fall apart. people disappear. old systems stop working.
It feels like you're losing control - but you're not.
this isn't failure. it’s renewal.
Life is clearing space and removing everything that can’t survive your next level.
If you cling to the old, you block the new with your own hands.

2. You suddenly feel who is “yours” - and who isn't.
almost like an invisible filter turns on. some people drain you. some amplify you.
You start wanting new rooms, new conversations, new environments. this isn't random. your old role is already too small.

3. A quiet thought keeps coming back: “i can do more.”
Not ego. not fantasy.
a deep knowing that you’ve grown.
That you're not who you were a year ago. that you're ready for more responsibility, more people, a bigger game.
This feeling almost always shows up right before income jumps.

4. You start hating your old job, rhythm, or environment. sometimes suddenly. for no clear reason. It feels like life is pushing you out. this isn't laziness.
It’s your internal system saying: “you've outgrown this level.” ignore it - and life will push harder.
