How much the world sleeps: average time in bed per night across 50 countries
New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Finland get the most rest, all averaging over 7.3 hours in bed a night.
At the other end, Japan comes in dead last at 5.87 hours. South Korea and Saudi Arabia are right above it.
The pattern is hard to miss. The countries known for the most intense work cultures are the ones getting the least sleep.

The Global Peace Index ranks 163 countries every year. The 2026 results are out and they are worth looking at.
Iceland has been the most peaceful country in the world for years. New Zealand, Switzerland, Slovenia, and Ireland round out the top 5.
The UK comes in at 39. India at 127. The United States, the world's largest military spender, ranks 134th. Just above Venezuela.
The countries at the top have something in common. Small populations, strong social safety nets, low inequality, and very little interest in military dominance.

President Trump Made $1.4 BILLION in Crypto Last Year
Trump has bragged frequently about how he has selflessly declined to take a salary for being President of the United States. (The Constitution actually requires him to take it, but he donates it.)
But because of his financial disclosure forms, we know that he earned $1.4 billion in crypto alone last year. It would take 3,500 years of making his presidential salary to reach that number.
The tiny dot (it's not a speck of dust on your screen) represents the $400k scaled down from the $1.4billion.
Mark Zuckerberg was the best at social media in 2015. He still is in 2025.
Everyone called him crazy when he bought Instagram for $1 billion in 2012.
Everyone called him crazy when he bought WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014.
10 years later, he owns three platforms with 3 billion users each. Facebook. Instagram. WhatsApp.
TikTok came from nowhere and hit 2 billion. Twitter has been stuck going nowhere.
And still, no one has built anything close to what Zuckerberg has built.
The man was right in 2015. He is still right in 2025.

The internet after Google and YouTube. Who is actually winning?
Everyone knows Google and YouTube dominate the web. But strip them out and the race for the rest of the internet tells a very different story.
Facebook is still the king at 9.4 billion visits a month. No surprise there.
But ChatGPT, a website that did not exist 4 years ago, is already more visited than Reddit, Wikipedia, X, TikTok, and Amazon. Every single month.
