@BrandonHiems @viewsoff That's the Great Pyramid of Giza at night from a luxury room in Giza. Looks like Steigenberger Pyramids Cairo—floor-to-ceiling windows, marble floors, and ornate lounge setup match their pyramid-view rooms perfectly. Epic spot right near the site!

A teacher used PS5 and Assāssins Creed to teach a lesson on the Industrial Revoluton. Instead of a traditional lecture, he showed students 19th-century London directly in the game, making the topic far more engaging and visual.

FTX sold an 8% stake in Anthropic for $1.3 billion in 2024, which would be worth $30 billion today.
SBF@SBF_FTX

@Fityeth The lawyer who filed FTX for bankruptcy said Anthropic was worth "nothing" and sold the stake for $1.3b.

Seed oils are high in linoleic acid (omega 6 linked to inflammation). But healthier choices like avocado oil contain it too.. What other cooking oils or fats would you like to see compared?

This week I modeled in Paris Fashion Week. I am a meme for Immortality.... why was I there? Something significant is happening. By the time something appears on a runway in Paris, it usually means the concept has already crossed a threshold. Power is shifting hands. People can feel it, and it is unnerving. This leaves people desperately searching: where will power land? So we "monitor the situation". The show was by Matières Fécales, which translates to 'Fecal Matter', and the collection was about power. Who held power and who will hold power in the future? They are grappling with symbols of past, current, and future powers.... + blinded by $ + blood on hands + hand-cuffed by pearls + drinking blood + extreme body modification + wall-street suits + gagging on jewelry Then, they made a prediction: As a meme, I represent the Immortals. The last section (titled 'the immortals') was about a new kind of power. More than just money or status, but access to tools that can extend human life. For the past five years I’ve been running a public experiment on the human body. Measuring everything. Publishing the data. Trying to slow or reverse aspects of aging. Whether people agree with it or not, the project has become associated with one idea: immortality. The decision to name immortality as the future of power reflects something bigger happening culturally. For a long time power was defined mostly by wealth, status, or political position. Now a new axis is emerging: control over biology. The ability to measure, modify, and extend the human body. Longevity science and health optimization are starting to become symbols of that shift. Fashion is one of the places where cultural changes show up first. Designers take ideas that are already circulating and make them visible. Fashion is the language of culture. Most of my work has lived in technology and science. Fashion operates in a completely different system. Different communities, different language, different forms of influence. The show created a bridge between those worlds. The idea of trying not to die is uncomfortable for many people. Some reject it immediately. Others become deeply curious. Across five years, we are collectively digesting this new reality: death may not be inevitable. Culture is speaking through clothing... humans are starting to treat aging as a solvable problem. And that has begun to change where power will sit.

Illegal immigrants from Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe are STEALING jobs from our own people by undercutting wages with dirt-cheap labor and fueling rampant crime! John Vorster warned us about this decades ago. Now these thugs are slaughtering our farmers, kidnapping innocents for ransom, and Somalis are deliberately poisoning our children with expired, toxic food‼️Why the hell is Cyril Ramaphosa’s government allowing this invasion? Just like the weak governments in the EU, Britain, Sweden, and Germany, they’re opening the doors wide to so-called “brothers” in the name of safety,but we cannot keep absorbing this endless flood of criminals and job thieves! Enough is enough ‼️ “Vote this ANC regime out of government. They are destroying our economy, our country, and the future of our nation. Your children’s future depends on your vote⁉️

We should all be thankful and feel optimistic about the future because the richest man in the world is GOOD and is focusing his time/energy/wealth on DOING GOOD. Sadly there are many forces of evil out there, and without continued hard work things will tend towards chaos and disorder. Thank your lucky stars ✨ and put in the work to bring in the Light. We cannot afford to f this up.

NEW blog post is up! "How I Beat Lyme Disease with The Ketogenic Diet — Science, How-To Protocols, and 10+ Years of Zero Symptoms" I started writing this as a reply to @TheGregYang, co-founder of xAI, who recently stepped down from xAI to address his debilitating case of Lyme disease. Ultimately, I decided that a blog post could provide more detail and allow proofreading by credible scientists, so here we are. Before we dive in, a disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on the internet. The following is for informational purposes only. Please consult with your doctor and read the warnings at the end. CONTINUE READING: tim.blog/2026/01/30/lym…

You may want to cancel your AG1 subscription A new clinical study tracked 30 healthy adults for 4 weeks and found no significant changes in blood biomarkers vs placebo: - Digestive improvement not statistically significant - Gut diversity unchanged - No metabolic or inflammatory benefits - Did enrich some beneficial bacteria Other cheaper supplements outperform AG1 Chicory Inulin - Significantly increased beneficial bacteria - Improved stool frequency (p=0.038) - Reduced inflammatory bacteria Resistant starch - 41% insulin reduction in elderly (p=0.009) - 7% glucose reduction (p=0.03) (Both studies were 3x longer and tested elderly/people with health issues) Independent testing also found heavy metal concerns detecting 2.1 mcg of lead per serving in AG1 (4x health threshold) Whole food alternatives: - Chicory inulin powder - Sauerkraut or kimchi - Cooked and cooled potatoes/rice (resistant starch) - Dark leafy greens - Ground flaxseed Supplement brands can no longer be fully trusted so we created the Oasis app so you can track the latest supplement testing and research

@jeffskoll @Tesla @elonmusk Very well said @jeffskoll you have been an early believer and when many at the same said it would never be possible. You also stood by your friend when many said he was on a fools errand. A true friend and technologist

I wanted to say a few words about @Tesla and @elonmusk regarding their decision, announced during yesterday's earnings call, to end the production of the Model S and X in Q2 this year. From the start, I have been a giant fan, investor and supporter of Tesla. I was the happy purchaser of the 2008 Roadster and 2012 Model S, both VIN #003. I continue to hold them in pristine condition until one day they go into either the (hopeful!) Tesla Museum or another tech or automotive museum. I still drive my 2010 Roadster and I have owned a number of Model S's and Model X's over the years. As I once told Elon, the Model S (Motortrend's Car of the Year for 2012) goes alongside the PC, Mac, iPad and iPhone as the greatest consumer tech products ever created, in my opinion. I recently upgraded my personal, older Tesla's with 2026 Model S's (Plaid and Long Range) and a 2026 Model X Plaid. They are all the best cars I have ever owned. I did this even knowing that the writing was on the wall that they would be discontinued as the sales numbers were a rounding error compared to the Model 3 and Y. I did buy a 2026 Model Y as well when it came out...it is an excellent car and at the price, a very good value. Over the years, I also subsidized employees across my various organizations with a $7500 credit towards the purchase of a Tesla...and that was on top of the Federal EV credits when they existed. I am proud to have introduced 100s of people to owning Tesla vehicles, especially in the early days when the sales mattered. While I will miss future versions of the S and X, I have no doubt that Tesla will continue to make great cars and the FSD is now amazing, so I have little doubt that whatever package the FSD is wrapped inside, it will be a great experience. Elon always said that Tesla was intended to be more than a car company and today it is already a major player in renewable energy, manufacturing, software and well on its way to being a winner in robotics and whatever future areas of tech hold the most promise. So farewell to the Model S and X, with gratitude for the many years of enjoyment and hello to the future!
