Dai Dai (The Azteca Version)

June 11, 2026: The 2026 FIFA World Cup opened at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City — the first stadium in history to host three World Cup opening matches (1970, 1986, now 2026). Shakira and Burna Boy performed the official anthem "Dai Dai" live for the first time in front of 87,000 fans as Mexico faced South Africa, a rematch of the 2010 opener. Mexico City declared the day a public holiday. While all that played out: the US-Iran war hit Day 100, Trump threatened fresh strikes on Iranian infrastructure, Brent crude surged to $95, the KOSPI triggered circuit breakers for the third consecutive day, and Michael Burry loaded January 2027 puts on the SOXX semiconductor ETF. Meanwhile, SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — collectively valued at $3.5 trillion, collectively unprofitable — filed to go public within 11 days of each other, with insider lockups expiring in a synchronized 90-day window in spring 2027 right as Burry's puts come due. The Buffett Indicator hit 231.7%. The dot-com peak was 146%. Pope Leo XIV commissioned the first papal encyclical on AI, co-authored with Dario Amodei.

The carnival opened on time. The fireworks were scheduled.
