The reasons more people are wearing wired headphones are not about "counter-signaling". It's the Bluetooth. Bluetooth earbuds contain a low-power transmitter in your ear canal for hours a day. The WHO classified RF radiation as a possible carcinogen back in 2011. While the levels you get from earbuds are below current safety limits, those limits were built around heat, not long-term biological effects. You also have a lithium-ion battery and a tiny magnet sitting millimeters from your brain. A 2022 study measured static magnetic fields from wireless earbuds and found wired options are the safer choice. I'm not saying Bluetooth is dangerous, but celebs (and many others) are wearing wired earbuds less for status signaling and more for health protection.

Elon Musk just told a story that should terrify every AI company on Earth. His son Saxon is autistic. Saxon couldn’t understand why the family went to restaurants. You can get the same food delivered. You can call your friends over. You can eat better at home for half the price. So why go? Musk: “He had an epiphany and said, ‘Oh, the reason people go to restaurants is to hang out with strangers.’” A kid who takes the world literally just decoded something the rest of us never thought to question. We like being around people we’ll never know. Look at what we already built. Delivery apps so you never wait in line. Remote work so you never share an office. Self-checkout so you never talk to a cashier. Every innovation of the last 20 years was a bet against human proximity. Every one paid off. Until it didn’t. Loneliness is now a public health emergency. Depression has doubled since the smartphone. The average American has fewer close friends than any generation in history. We didn’t remove friction. We removed the thing friction was hiding. Now look at what’s coming. AI agents that handle your emails. AI companions that replace your conversations. AI assistants that make every human interaction optional. Same playbook. Same bet. Except this time we’re not engineering out strangers. We’re engineering out humans entirely. The coffee shop where nobody knows your name. The subway where no one speaks. The restaurant where you’ll never see that couple again. Those aren’t failed connections. They’re the background radiation of belonging. We don’t just need people who know us. We need to exist in rooms full of people who don’t. That’s what a kid understood at a dinner table that billion-dollar companies still can’t grasp in a boardroom. We spent 20 years building a world you never have to show up to. AI is about to finish the job. And nothing it builds will ever replicate sitting in a room full of strangers and not feeling alone.

@FoxNews Bring back jump rope for heart ? Pacer tests? Sit-ups and push ups? 💪🏽

BREAKING: President Trump announces the return of the Presidential Fitness Test for grade schoolers, slamming the Obama administration for phasing out the tradition: "We're bringing it back. "We had the Obama administration, which phased out this wonderful tradition of physical fitness. Thank you, Barack, very much—great job. And we're bringing it back." "My administration is working to defend America's cherished athletic traditions and pass our values of excellence and competitiveness to the next generation."

@JfkPascalNajadX 👏

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump TERMINATED the Obama-era mandate that pushed auto start-stop systems into vehicles. You know the one. You stop at a red light. Your engine shuts off. Every. Single. Time. Doesn’t matter if you hate it. Doesn’t matter if it wears down the starter. Doesn’t matter if you have to turn it off manually every time you start the car. It was forced in the name of “efficiency.” Trump just ended it. No more government telling automakers how to design your engine. No more being annoyed at every stoplight. Build better cars. Let consumers choose. Common sense is back.

What’s something relatively inexpensive (say around or under $100 US) that has had a significant positive impact on your life (health, joy, work, whatever)?

@BrokerSteve412 I second this notion. The Allstate mayhem commercials for some reason have still been good after all these years.

Who can I pay at Liberty Mutual for them to retire the Limu Emu commercials?? It’s been legit YEARS. Enough is enough

Has there been some magical recent change with underwriters and what dictates and actual submission? I sent an email asking about a prospect with zero apps or loss runs. I never said it was a submission and they logged it anyway. Crazy that can block a real sub sometimes.

@cantshutupsam It’s amazing that a simple phone call in many cases when deserving can cut a renewal increase in half or better.

Carrier: here is a 25% increase for your client Me: can we not do that Carrier: ok. Here is a 5% increase for your client Art of the deal

Because they’re still watching random YouTube videos, buying overpriced courses, or “learning AI” without actually building. Don’t be that person. Do this instead: 1. Bookmark this post (you’ll come back) 2. Pick 1 course and start today 3. Share it with someone who needs this 👇Comment "Course" for more resources. Free. Practical. No excuses.

@GitRDoneLarry How and why are judges not held accountable?

Nice! Thanks Judge. Now everyone in Gretna with kids has to change their habits and lifestyle to accommodate this morons bad behavior. Way to go, 5 stars.

@colincowherd Skol!

Giants and Jets bring up the rear, which is actually the NFLs greatest strength. Market doesn’t matter. Money can’t overcome inefficiency. Anyone can win.

This video will make you think twice about wearing polyester.

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds. Not a guess. Not a theory. A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it. Samsung TVs: every minute. LG TVs: every 15 seconds. Even when you're just using it as a monitor. Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

Your iPhone is dying by 2 PM every day. It's not the battery. It's 14 settings Apple turned ON by default that are silently draining it in the background. I changed all of them and gained 4+ hours of daily battery life. Steal them

@rawsalerts 😟 hope they have an amazing BI policy.

🚨#BREAKING: Watch as an employee starts a massive fire inside a 1.2 million square foot warehouse filming himself on Instagram as he sets toilet paper packages ablaze 📌#Ontario | #California Watch as a disgruntled employee started a massive fire at a 1.2 million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark warehouse in Ontario, California, with 29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim arrested on arson charges after filming himself on Instagram setting toilet paper packages on fire and saying You may not pay us enough to f*cking live, but these btches are dirt cheap. There goes your inventory. All you had to do was pay us enough to live. The warehouses, which span roughly 11 city blocks which prompted a massive response a 6-alarm fire alert from 175 firefighters and 20 engines working to put out the blaze. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

@dtmorgan18 Ideally would wait until they’re in high school.

Parents, at what age will you get your kids phones, or when did you give them phones?

If your agency has revenue restrictions. How do you tell someone you “can’t” help them? Asking for a friend.
