BREAKING: The S&P 500 closes at its highest level on record, now up +14.5% since the March 30th bottom. That's +$8.3 TRILLION in market cap in 24 trading days.

Results from my Feb 23 skin therapy: Improvements since treatment: > Brown spots: +71 percentile points (20th → 91st) ✅ > Pores: +25 percentile points ✅ > Spots: +25 percentile points✅ My skin age is 9 years younger than my chronological age (39 vs 48) and hasn't aged in five years since starting this project. Effectively a 9 year age reversal. Measured using VISIA multispectral clinical imaging, the most validated non-invasive skin analysis system available. Feb 23 treatment summary Technologies > Everesse RF > CoolPeel CO2 laser > BBL Each targeting a different skin depth so repair windows overlap without competing. Treatment details Everesse RF (200 pulses, Level 2.5 per cheek), CoolPeel CO2 laser (3.0W, 700 micron spacing), and BBL broadband light. Each targeting a different skin depth. Everesse drives heat into the dermis at 60-70°C, triggering fibroblast activation and collagen production that peaks 6-8 weeks later (about now), tightening the structural scaffolding that makes pores visible. CoolPeel ablates the surface layer of skin, physically removing melanin-loaded cells and forcing fresh keratinocytes to the surface. BBL destroys residual pigment one layer deeper through selective photothermolysis, where melanin absorbs light energy and self-destructs. Porphyrins dropped 13 points, which is expected. The treatments temporarily disrupt the follicular environment that bacteria need to thrive, and that recovers within 8-12 weeks. Goal was to do a triple-modality stack so the repair windows overlap without competing (dermis, epidermis, and chromophores).

When I married in 1981 we both worked & most of our salary went on paying the mortgage as the interest rate was 15% at the time. Everything we owned was 2nd hand & we never went out for meals as we couldn’t afford to. We rented our TV Went to the launderette every weekend as had no washing machine. Only had new clothes at Xmas & birthdays as presents. We went without until we could save enough to pay for something. It’s always been hard whether you are young or old. So those out there that think we had it easy we didn’t. Our governments are to blame, not the old.

So what if Grok can put people in bikinis? So can photoshop? So can millions of apps already? This isn’t a new problem, it’s a new tool. If a user does it someone unconsentually, the user should be punished, not the platform.
