Since it was performed by One Direction—a fresh, energetic young boy band—the song strongly projects an image of “sweet and innocent youthful romance.” However, it was actually written by songwriter Savan Kotecha for his own wife.

One morning at a hotel in London, his wife was feeling down and said, “I look so ugly today.” Trying to comfort her, he said, “No, you don’t. You don’t know how beautiful you are.” At that exact moment, a lightbulb went off in his head: “Wait a minute, this would make an amazing song!” He then wrote the rough draft of the song in just two days.

The song is actually set in December. While the opening line, “Do you remember the 21st night of September?” leaves a powerful impression, a later lyric reveals, “Now December found the love that we shared in September.” In other words, this track is all about looking back on fond autumn memories during the chill of winter.

So, let’s groove to this track and blow away the humid rainy season blues!

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that life is packed with absurd hardships and blindsiding betrayals. Which is precisely why I refuse to let the kitchen become another courtroom. We need some levity here.

Obsessing over a flawless recipe with a furrowed brow is just a poor use of time. I’d rather pour myself a glass of red wine and just laugh it off: ‘Forgive me, but Mama opted for a strategic shortcut tonight.’ It’s called survival.

Look at me. Relying on the freezer section isn’t going to trigger the apocalypse. We’ll get through this.”

The New Zealand MPs performing the traditional Māori haka in parliament as a protest are not saying “Kamata” (蒲田).

Around the 10-second mark, a female MP tears a piece of paper and loudly chants “Ka mate! Ka mate!”

This comes from a very famous haka piece called “Ka Mate.” In the Māori language, it means “I die! I die!” (or “It is death!”). Because the pronunciation of “Ka mate” sounds incredibly similar to the Japanese place name “Kamata” (蒲田), it is highly likely that it just sounded that way to you (a classic case of “soramimi,” or a phonetic mishearing).

Mentre dormi, Amor fomenti
Il piacer de’ sonni tuoi
Con l’idea del mio piacer

Abbia il rio passi più lenti;
E sospenda i moti suoi
Ogni zeffiro leggier

SpaceX is planning an IPO with an aggressive price of $135 per share, with its market capitalization estimated at $1.75 trillion, surpassing Tesla’s. Although 30% of the shares are allocated for retail investors, most of this allocation is geared toward wealthy overseas clients and private banks, making it extremely difficult for ordinary retail investors to win the lottery.

There are concerns that on the first day of trading, a flood of market orders from fervent Elon Musk fans could cause the opening price to skyrocket to $400 or $500. As a result, regular investors who miss out on the lottery face the risk of buying at the peak. The video warns of the hidden dangers behind this frenzy, noting that the setup could essentially become a mechanism for the wealthy to resell shares to ordinary people at inflated prices, reminiscent of the 1999 dot-com bubble nightmare.
