Why it matters
AI and work
Cursor’s no PM culture, Gemini 3.0 hype, and worries about skills decay for GPT native engineers highlight a new split: people who treat AI as a calculator vs people who still train the underlying muscles.
Robots and rockets
New Glenn on the pad, more Starlink satellites, and Musk’s “Yes” to robot healthcare all reinforce the theme that hardware is back, with space and robotics framed as answers to economic and social strain.
Nigeria online
From Fireboy’s Lagos show and Igbo beauty threads to garri jokes, keke empowerment pitches, and “Outside Saturday” Tesla photos, Nigerian X keeps showing how local humour, hustle and pride dominate a whole side of the platform.
Markets, policy and risk
Figma’s slump, visa crackdowns, Scott Adams’ robot-or-collapse framing, DNA swap fears, and the storage unit millions story all circle around trust: in markets, in institutions, and in each other.
Culture and identity
Architecture nostalgia, body image memes, fan joy over a Tems follow, Messi vs Swift engagement wars, and rap loyalty oaths show how identity battles now play out through pictures, stats, and quote tweets.
