Meditation is just staring at a wall and trying not to lose it Meditation isn’t a cure-all; it’s just staring at a wall while your brain heckles you. Why the wellness industry turned silence into a subscription.

Modern #meditation isn’t about #enlightenment, it’s about pretending your brain isn’t a drunk raccoon in a dumpster.

But maybe the real #peace is found in laughing at your own messy thoughts.

Ask Carla: Baku disaster Dear Aunty Carla What a terrible weekend in Baku! I just can’t believe it. We went into qualifying feeling pretty confident we could get pole, but then in Q3 Oscar found the wall, which meant he couldn’t get higher up the grid that P9. So, all eyes were on Lando … could he do it? No. He clipped the wall, ruined his final lap and ended up in P7.

📢👀 The latest #AskCarla column has dropped ...

... this week THE #F1AgonyAunt is back with some advice for #McLaren following their disastrous outing at the #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

Rumi, darkness, and the madness of being the light Rumi’s reminder that “you may be the light” is no Hallmark fluff, it’s survival strategy. In a world drowning in fear and doom, being a flickering candle might be the bravest act left.

#Rumi said: If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light.

Stop waiting for the world to glow. Sometimes the missing spark is you. 🍷

But #Rumi flips it: what if you’re the light? Small. Shaky. Still enough to change the room.

The internet ruined debates … now we just yell and call it a ‘hot take’ The internet turned debates into digital food fights. No nuance, no listening … just hot takes, ratios, and yelling. Philosophy deserves better than memes with megaphones.

#Debates used to sharpen ideas.

Now they’re just #hottakes, #memes, and yelling with Wi-Fi.

#Philosophy deserves better, but maybe it starts with shutting up, pouring a drink, & actually listening. 🍷

Stop handing the crown to strangers’ opinions.

Top 10 Funniest Tweet Awards: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025 Well, after a record-breaking qualifying yesterday, 6 red flags, I had high hopes for a completely crazy Azerbaijan GP. But aside from an unusual error from Championship leader, Oscar Piastri on the first lap, that saw him crash out, most of the race was a game of DRS trains, while Max literally left the rest of the grid behind him.

Check out the #Top10 winners from the #F1 #AzerbaijanGP #FunniestTweetAwards

But surely according to Papaya rules, that means that Lando has to then give the place back??

The freedom of lowering your expectations Dream big? Please. Lowering your expectations is the only real path to freedom, but you won’t do it. Because you still think you’re special.

#Life isn’t a hero’s journey … it’s a bar tab.

Stop raising the bar.

Lower it until you can trip over it drunk and still call it progress.
