5/ This is peak “borrowed glory” energy — and it works. Weibo lights up with pride. Comments flood with “China’s footprint is everywhere” and warm fuzzy patriotism. No qualification? No problem. You still get to feel part of the World Cup story. Smart.

Greetings on National Technology Day. We recall with pride the hard work and dedication of our scientists, which led to the successful tests in Pokhran in 1998. That landmark moment reflected India’s scientific excellence and unwavering commitment. Technology has become a key pillar in building a self-reliant India. It is accelerating innovation, expanding opportunities and contributing to the nation’s growth across sectors. Our continued focus remains on empowering talent, encouraging research and creating solutions that serve both national progress and the aspirations of our people.

Tommy Robinson at the Oxford Union yesterday and you can see exactly how much he enjoyed it with that smile. 🔥 While the usual crowd of protesters with their rainbow hair and protest signs raged outside, Tommy was inside the historic debating chamber dismantling their arguments with facts, clarity, and conviction. This isn’t just a working-class hero from Luton, this is a sharp, intelligent man who knows exactly what he’s talking about and refuses to back down. He represented Britain with pride and absolutely annihilated the opposition. We are proud of you, Tommy. Well done, mate. 🇬🇧💪 @TRobinsonNewEra
