@PrestonPysh Thanks for everything, Preston, may you and your family continue to be protected and blessed! 💙

A personal note.  After years of public discussion/work: the podcast, social media, venture capital, everything — I'm stepping back to focus on my family. My kids are growing fast.  My wife deserves the best of me.  To everyone who listened, read, grew, and built alongside me — thank you. What a blessing you all have been!

🚨BREAKING: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol sentenced to life in prison

@Kross_Roads @acce Thank you for all of the work you put into covering the company.

@acce Just sold my shares. I don't care if we get a dead cat bounce. The market was 100% correct. Goodbye PainPal.

$PYPL PayPal CEO @acce is out. Branded 1% growth. Guidance - terrible. Revenue - Terrible. FCF - Not great. Yeah, I'm looking for an exit. Adios, PainPal.

The Lee Jae-myung regime threatens a US citizen & her Korean husband, who live in the US & run a YouTube channel (천조국 파랭이), with an arrest, unless they contact the Korean police for an interrogation, if they set foot in Korea. With 366k subscribers, they raised the issues of election fraud & pro-CCP stance of the Lee regime. @SecRubio @DeputySecState @SecWar @WhiteHouse @PressSec @CIA @FBI @FBIDirectorKash youtu.be/d2XQHNqzM8U?si…

Eyes on South Korea! LOOK at what 85 days in detention have done to President Yoon! The recently installed, CCP-friendly “China Lee” is imprisoning President Yoon without conviction — slowly killing him in a show trial for the world to see. This is the SAME spectacle that subversive and transnational forces planned for President Trump @realDonaldTrump through weaponized lawfare — to break the leaders of free nations. Our historic Korean brothers-in-arms — freedom fighters, vital reindustrialization partners, and shields on the front line against Beijing’s ominous war machine — now stand on the brink of CCP capture. What are we doing??

For readers who asked, my thoughts on Charlie Kirk: open.substack.com/pub/drbenkim/p…

South Korea’s Drug-Free Reputation Is Gone — And Beijing’s Influence Is a Big Reason 1) From Drug-Free to Drug-Flooded South Korea once prided itself on being drug-free. But under the left-leaning Moon Jae-in administration (2017–2022), pro-China policies and a large influx of Chinese nationals began to change that. Since then, narcotics have spread rapidly, and the problem is now spiraling out of control—threatening the country’s youth. 2) China-Sourced Drugs and the “Throwing” Dead-Drop Most of the drugs now flooding into South Korea are coming from China. Once smuggled in, they’re distributed through a dead-drop “throwing” method: Dealers and buyers never meet, connecting via Telegram, the dark web, or other encrypted apps. Payment is made in cryptocurrency or with prepaid cards. Dealers hide the stash near roadside bushes, building corners, under utility poles, or in apartment utility rooms. They send geotagged photos to the buyer, who retrieves it. This makes ringleaders hard to catch; instead, only young “throwing” part-timers are often arrested. The method has supercharged the spread of narcotics nationwide. 3) Negligence and Rising Crime Under Lee Jae-myung The Lee Jae-myung administration has worsened matters by allowing a large inflow of Chinese nationals without robust background checks or safeguards. Drug crimes are rising—and so are voice-phishing scams tied to the same networks. 4) Forged IDs and a Booming Online Black Market Illegal outfits openly sell forged IDs, graduation certificates, and other documents. Accounts with names like “ID Maker” advertise counterfeit national ID cards. Purported buyers post “reviews” of their purchases. On X (Twitter), the hashtag #졸업증명서위조 (“fake graduation certificate”) has been used in more than 20,000 posts, trending near the top. Tens of thousands of related accounts pop up; new ones replace those reported. Many Koreans say this is “beyond serious—it’s already over.” Yet authorities have not mounted a meaningful crackdown, fueling suspicions of tacit tolerance while speeding the inflow of Chinese nationals. 5) Woo Won-shik’s Beijing Trip and a Visa-Waiver Deal On Sept. 3, 2025, National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik attended China’s Victory Day events in Beijing and met North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. He soon returned touting a visa-waiver deal with Beijing. Around the same time, reports in China said police were seizing citizens’ passports en masse. Analysts see this as Beijing managing outbound flows to South Korea—facilitating illegal migration and identity fraud. The flood of forgery ads online mirrors tactics the Chinese Communist Party used in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong. 6) Anti-U.S. Agitation and a Quiet Press Rather than protect the public, Lee Jae-myung is seen as aligning with Beijing while stoking anti-American sentiment at home. In public he talks “balance” between Washington and Beijing; in practice, his government deepens exchanges with the CCP. Even as large protests erupt in Seoul, mainstream outlets have largely stayed quiet—muting public anger and shielding the administration from scrutiny. @realDonaldTrump @SecWar @SecRubio @WhiteHouse @FoxNews @BreitbartNews @FBIDirectorKash #DEA #DrugCartel #cartel #ChineseDrugCartel #Fentanyl #DrugTrafficking #southkoreacrisis #southkorea

Korea is in crisis, fast losing its democracy and sovereignty. We must help.

Lee Jae-myung is now attacking the judiciary. This morning, I received the following from a friend in Korea: “Today in South Korea, the Democratic Party is pressuring Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae to resign. The reason is clear. Currently, Lee Jae-myung has received a remand from the Supreme Court in his Public Official Election Act violation case, effectively overturning the acquittal he received in the second trial. In other words, the Supreme Court judged that the Seoul High Court's acquittal in the second trial was inappropriate and ordered the Seoul High Court to determine an appropriate sentence and reissue the ruling. However, the Seoul High Court effectively ignored the Supreme Court's order and postponed the ruling with the absurd reason that ‘Candidate Lee Jae-myung must be guaranteed a fair election opportunity.’ After winning the presidential election, Lee Jae-myung invoked Article 84 of the Constitution (Presidential Immunity from Prosecution) to effectively pardon himself for all ongoing trials. The Seoul High Court also cooperated, halting the proceedings. However, Article 84 of the Constitution states that ‘The President shall not be subject to criminal prosecution during the term of office, except in the case of rebellion or treason,’ which applies only to crimes committed during the presidential term. It does not authorize the suspension of trials that began before the presidency. Nevertheless, Lee Jae-myung halted all trials. Domestically, there has been ongoing debate regarding the interpretation of Article 84. The Public Official Election Act case is particularly critical for Lee Jae-myung. The Supreme Court had already overturned the second trial’s acquittal and remanded the case with instructions to consider a guilty verdict. If the remand trial results in a conviction, Lee Jae-myung’s presidential election will be nullified. This is precisely why Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party are pressuring Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, who was involved in the ruling, to resign. This constitutes a blatant political attack on the judiciary and is, in effect, an act of dictatorship.”

@RazOlsRF It looks like he uses more wrist action than he really does because of his extreme western grip. Almost all top players use about the same amount of wrist lag to generate spin. Eastern or semi-western grips look less wristy and therefore clean. Full western look noisier.

Is it just me or does Sinner use a lot of wrist action on his forehand? And by a lot I mean A LOT

We can lose some of our innocence when we realize that someone we really care about wishes to see us struggle. This makes it all the more special to have people in our life who wish for good things to come our way - these are the people we must cherish above all else.

The most powerful visualization technique that you can use to get anything you want‼️‼️

@Kleelovers @Jason Generally, yes, it's safe, provided that it is applied with clean hands or a sterile applicator. Coconut oil has mild antibacterial, antifungal, and even anti-inflammatory properties.

@Ben_Kim @Jason Is it safe use coconut oil for fissure anal?

Oh boy… any advice? 💣 💥 😂

@intangiblecoins @signulll Most likely early stage torticollis, sometimes called wry neck. Can be genetic or acquired. Basically, the muscles on one side of the neck shorten / contract, which causes the neck to remain rotated to some degree.

@signulll is there something wrong with his neck

one under discussed part of the mamdani campaign was the usage of the video filters. every video used the same soft, humanizing tone consistently. it crafted a world around him. an aesthetic, almost utopian one. close shots, warm tones, delicate pacing. it framed him as the delivery vehicle for a better feeling reality. beautifully cinematic. no surprise, his mom is a well known filmmaker. this was vibe warfare. & he won. you have to understand how modern culture works in order to partake in it no matter what your underlying mission is.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do is take time to rest and do things we genuinely enjoy, and to be free of worry over what others might think and want of us. In restoring our balance and fostering genuine gratitude, we become more capable of doing good things.

When we’re easily irritated or hurt, perhaps it's a sign that we just don’t have much to give in that moment. When we're feeling balanced,  grateful, and fulfilled, we're less likely to be annoyed or hurt by others, even when they are overtly rude.
