Social media feeds are flooded with vivid, exaggerated photos of teachers wielding enormous pencils, analysts engrossed in spreadsheets, and architects drawing impossible-to-scale plans that curl behind them like sails. Despite its seeming simplicity, the assignment asks you to “create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.” When comedy and insight are combined in ways that feel remarkably similar across professions, the outcome is frequently remarkably effective. I uploaded a simple headshot and made no other changes when I tried it on a calm Tuesday night. The program produced a cartoon image of me…

He articulated it in a way that was remarkably clear. Central Cee leaned forward and declared, “I just changed my name and took my Shahada,” during a PlaqueBoyMax webcast. There was just a young man quietly declaring that he was now Muslim and that his name was Akhil; there was no screenplay, no glamorous production, and no public relations effort. It was an unusual beat for someone whose musical career has sped up with astonishingly effective velocity—quiet, grounded, and oddly meaningful. I didn’t think it was a stunt. Because of the context more than the intention, it seemed like a…
Like any typical late morning in Chinatown, it started with incense wafting through alleys, umbrellas unfurling to soften the sun rather than to rain, and camera flashes from interested tourists. Then the heavy hush that always follows impact, followed by a scream and a sudden braking. The news was on almost every TV by the early afternoon. A six-year-old girl was strolling with her mother close to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple when she was hit by a car. They were both sent to Singapore General Hospital immediately. Only one went home. According to reports, the car, which was driven…
Japan has been developing a silent storm on snow for years. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, Kira Kimura was a product of this painstakingly designed snowboarding system rather than a well-known figure. And Kimura flew into the night air with something very uncommon on one exceptionally calm evening in Livigno, Italy: serene confidence supported by impossible precision. A lot of the time, chaos is presented as art in Big Air. In seemingly unsurvivable orbits, riders contort themselves. The Olympic gold-winning leap that Kimura made in the end, however, was exceptionally successful due to its pure control rather than its spectacle…
A change in Singapore’s real estate market illustrates how a company’s reputation can spread more quickly than any advertising effort ever could. At KW Singapore, one of the most ambitious real estate brands in the city is at a turning point as over 100 agents have either publicly left or are actively planning to transition. The resignation of Rayne Chua, one of KW’s top producers and a well-known figure for the agency, is very telling. Her decision to join ERA Singapore was more than just a change of job; it was a carefully considered message. She made a subtle but…
It began with a smartphone and a smirk. Unaware, intent, and sitting a few paces ahead, a 21-year-old in Singapore leaned into his camera and blew out vapor toward the bus driver on a typical bus route. He wasn’t hiding. He was actually performing. The hardly 20-second video ended up on an Instagram account connected to Telegram. Reactions flooded in almost instantaneously. The Health Sciences Authority was the target of a barrage of tags, scathing remarks, and harsh criticism. It was more than a simple post. It was a reel wrapped around a dare. Enforcement officials arrived by February 3.…
It started off as a whisper: only 11 measles cases in January, a slight increase. However, in a nation that formerly recorded yearly cases, that figure was far more significant. In particular, it was the same amount as the total for the whole year 2024. Authorities acted without waiting for public pressure to increase. Immediately they moved. A revised set of guidelines was released by Singapore’s Communicable Diseases Agency in early February. Isolation is now mandated by law for confirmed patients, and homebound people are tracked by unexpected video check-ins. Previously recommended, quarantine is now in effect for up to…
There was no press conference that he called. He merely composed a letter, straightforward yet purposefully firm. After twenty years of public silence, Dr. Tan Bin Seng, the once-quiet head of Singapore’s Workers’ Party, made a surprise but obviously necessary return to the public eye. His open letter to the party’s top officials has been circulated more urgently in recent days. It wasn’t because it was dramatic. But because it did a remarkable job of bringing to light what many WP insiders had been secretly wondering. Tan questioned why it had taken the party’s disciplinary committee more than a month…
The silence during the men’s big air final at Livigno was more telling than any cheer when Kira Kimura flew into his final run. Even though the crowd had been raucous all day, you could practically feel their breath being held when his board slipped down the snow-covered ramp’s lip. The elegance with which Kimura landed after spinning a switch backside 1980 was a calculated explosion of chaos. A few seconds later, the scoreboard verified what his body language had already indicated: Japan won gold. The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina served as a platform for snowboarding, showcasing the sport’s…
A recent SCA ruling has changed the way levies are seen, handled, and applied to homeowners who reside in South Africa’s community schemes. The ruling established the significance of collecting levies with accuracy, evidence, and procedural fairness in addition to confirming that it is legitimate to do so. For many years, trustees functioned according to unwritten agreements that were either recorded in meeting minutes or transmitted orally. However, the SCA firmly decided that such informality is inconsequential to good administration. The HOA’s foundation articles and title deeds contain legally binding responsibilities known as levies. It is not only foolish but…
