A penalty shootout in extra time gave the Garuda men their first major trophy under coach John Herdman.
Indonesia's national men's soccer team won the very first FIFA ASEAN Cup on Monday night, taking the title in a rousing penalty shootout during extra time. It is also the first major trophy for the side under head coach John Herdman, and the Jakarta Post says the team blew past controversies to get it.
The celebration comes with a sharper question attached. The paper's coverage notes that Indonesia promises billions of rupiah to reward Asian Games medalists, yet athletes and experts say shrinking training budgets leave too little investment behind the glory. A separate commentary argues that international success is no accident of luck or raw grit.


A quiet day in the fashion business.



Chanel's Spring/Summer 2027 show gave editors a new It-girl template, right down to one clever updo.
Chanel's Spring/Summer 2027 runway show is the one editors are talking about. Who What Wear says it showed exactly what an It girl will look like in 2027, while Harper's Bazaar zoomed in on a hair detail many viewers may have missed: an updo that leaves you asking whether it is a croissant bun or a bird's-nest bun. Bazaar says it "took flight" on the runway.
Chanel is not the only thing shaping the look of the season. Fashionista reports that voluminous balloon pants are Paris Fashion Week's biggest street style trend, with showgoers in the French fashion capital embracing the shape. Together, the two details show how volume, whether in a bun or a trouser leg, is part of how this season looks.



Ahead of a release of more than 100 new solutions, one mathematician describes a "perception of mobster behavior."
WIRED reports that OpenAI is once again irritating mathematicians. The company is preparing to release more than 100 new solutions, and the reaction from the field is not warm. "There's a perception of mobster behavior" from leading AI companies, one mathematician told WIRED. The headline's "again" tells you this is not the first time the two sides have clashed.
The story landed alongside WIRED's review of the film "Artificial", which, according to the review, holds OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other stakeholders in contempt, from their dorky parties to their weird walks, while demonstrating AI's dangers. Whether through a mathematician's complaint or a movie's mockery, AI's makers are drawing a more skeptical eye.
