Merry Christmas! In the New Year, my resolution will be to do more video. Play with @grok Imagine, keep adding new skills. Not sure what the best aspect ratios are, Grok said vertical or square. Cool...

If there was no income tax, I would simply work less hours. Which was the point. The capital class wants the workers as money broke and time broke as possible.

共産主義に洗脳されてる奴らをどう元に戻すのか？ これかなり大事な事じゃね？

Actually, why not? If Japan and America are just ‘economic zones’, why shouldn’t communists be sent to their home ‘economic zone?’ I bet the Chinese would say that those people weren’t ‘Chinese’, which would reveal that there is actually a racial component to citizenship. Funny how only western countries are called ‘economic zones’ and flooded with inbred criminals, but communist countries do not tolerate that. 🤔 This is a fake story, but it’s actually quite true:

@CLIPBOX496254 確かに！ 大好きな中国に閉じ込めてどこにも行けないようにしちゃえば😳

You can’t bring people back from communist ideas any easier than you can bring back a heroin addict on a high. They’re actively choosing exactly that with all of their abilities. You can only destroy their funding, and access, and ignore them when they go through withdrawal. People brainwashed by communism have never had to earn money. And with that extra time & money, their communisty ideas multiply and take root. After all, that’s a successful strategy by reality- not working but being wealthy usually means your ideas are so valuable you don’t have to ‘work’. So communists ‘know’ their ideas are good, but they ignore the reality that they’re stealing from people who actually work. Their ideas are not chosen on the free marketplace of ideas, their ideas are always, like Obamacare, forced upon working people.

I had a call with @OttawaPolice today. I was told if I don't delete my X posts where I say Mosques in Occupied Iran are hubs of terrorism and should be bombed, I would be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada. So I deleted my posts. Meanwhile, Mosques in Occupied Iran:

Muslims are significantly more religious and observant than the rest of the American population. Is this a problem? No. Republicans are also significantly more religious than the overall population and we don't ask them to "assimilate."

My new @washingtonpost column: Why do Muslims need to be like everyone else? A case against assimilation. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

@Rainmaker1973 @grok does Artemis save fuel by looping around the gravity well? What’s the point of that maneuver?

🇮🇪 BREAKING: The Irish Government has officially deployed the Irish military to the streets of Ireland to break up anti-Government protests. This is a MAJOR escalation. The Irish Government is now at WAR with its own people.

The City of Festus, MO canceled their Council meeting for tonight following last night's election whereby citizens voted out of office every single member who voted for the data center there that the people did not want. Micro to macro, that is how we hold them accountable.

Oh man, it’s 27 degrees right now. ☹️

This little boy figured out how to lay flooring while his dad was outside taking a break….

American Medical Association to potentially lose its tax exempt status for discrimination against white people.

🇮🇪 ÚLTIMA HORA: Irlanda se ha sumido esta noche en una GUERRA CIVIL a gran escala, con manifestantes antigubernamentales tomando el control de las principales ciudades del país, incluyendo Dublín. Han amenazado con paralizar la economía si no se cumplen sus demandas. NO QUIEREN MÁS IMIGRANTES💪💪💪

Your kid's piano teacher was reshaping their brain. A Harvard-led team tracked children from age 6 to 9 and found that kids who practiced an instrument at least 2.5 hours a week grew the corpus callosum (the cable connecting the left and right halves of the brain) by about 25% in the region that handles movement planning. Kids who practiced less or quit showed zero growth there. USC ran a separate study starting in 2012 that followed children from low-income LA neighborhoods. One group learned violin through the LA Philharmonic's youth orchestra program. A second did soccer. A third had no structured after-school program. Two years in, only the music group showed brain changes: stronger white-matter connectivity, faster maturation of auditory processing, and greater activation in networks involved in decision-making and impulse control. The soccer and no-program groups looked the same on brain scans. A randomized trial at the University of Toronto tested 144 six-year-olds assigned to keyboard lessons, voice lessons, drama, or nothing for a full school year. The music kids gained about 7 IQ points on average. Drama and no-lessons kids gained 4-5. That roughly 3-point gap showed up across every subtest, including reading and math. Now the language side. Bilingual kids outperform monolingual kids on task-switching tests (jumping between different sets of rules quickly), and it holds regardless of which second language they speak. Brain scans of nearly 1,300 children and young adults from a 2021 Georgetown and University of Reading study showed that bilinguals kept more grey matter (the layer where the brain's processing cells live) as they grew up than kids who spoke one language. The long game is where this gets serious. A 2025 Monash University study of 10,893 Australians over 70 found that people who regularly played an instrument had 35% lower odds of developing dementia. Bilingualism shows an even sharper effect. Studies across India, Canada, and the US consistently find that bilingual adults develop dementia symptoms 4 to 5 years later than monolingual adults. A 2024 door-to-door survey of 1,234 people over 60 in Bengaluru, India, found dementia in 4.9% of monolinguals and just 0.4% of bilinguals. Both piano and a second language work through a similar mechanism. They force the brain to manage competing systems at once, left hand versus right hand, one language versus another. That constant switching strengthens the frontal regions responsible for planning, focus, and filtering distractions, building what neurologists call cognitive reserve: a buffer that lets the brain keep working even as age-related damage accumulates. Those parents running their kids between piano on Tuesdays and Mandarin on Thursdays were basically running a two-front neuroplasticity program without knowing it.
