“marketing is being masculinized” TLDR: Tech bros have figured out the money is in distribution, and marketing is no longer a “girlie pop job” absurdly hilarious how accurate this is LMAO

Qu’Allah fasse miséricorde à ce musulman du Brésil, « Males » vient du Yoruba Ìmàle et désigne les musulmans, les gens qui ont adopté la croyance du Mali (l’islam arrive en pays yoruba par le biais de commercants Mandés). Ils sont à l’origine de la révolte d’esclaves de 1835

Did you know Britain signed a military agreement with Israel in 2020 and we're never allowed to know what's in it? It may commit us to "mutual self-defence" It may explain the spy missions we flew for Israel during its genocidal campaign in Gaza We need to know what's in it

I suspect the real reason for Singapore's opposition to a toll on Hormuz is not some high-minded devotion to international law, but because if it's set as a precedent and a toll were to exist on the Strait of Malacca, it would basically kill their current business model. See, geographically speaking, Malacca runs primarily between Malaysia and Indonesia - Singapore only controls a small stretch at the southeastern exit. Yet currently they capture most of the strait's commercial value through port services, bunkering, and transshipment: it's basically like them having the best "service station" on the world's most popular free highway. What the Hormuz precedent - if established - is all about is the revenge of geography: power given back to the countries that own the road, as opposed to those with the best rest-stop. Fantastic news for Malaysia and Indonesia (which is partly why you're seeing key Malaysian political figures, like Nurul Izzah Anwar, issue a highly unusual rebuke of Singapore over Balakrishnan’s remarks: x.com/amerhadiazmi/s…), but a big threat to a city-state whose entire economy is built on being the best service provider on what's largely someone else's waterway.

Civilization was built by people like this, and there is a stunning lack of gratitude in our culture for their work. In this specific case, at least half of the apple varieties in Brown’s collection were considered “lost” until he personally tracked them down and saved them. He literally went on quests where he did things like, tracking a lost variety back to a stump of a long-ago-cut-down tree near an abandoned homestead in remote Appalachia, took cuttings from the green shoots coming out of the stump, brought them back and planted them. Absolute legend.

Tom Brown, a retired engineer, dedicated 25 years to preserving approximately 1,200 apple varieties from extinction.

She kept hearing the same thing. People back home couldn’t get married because they couldn’t find a home. So Mariam Kamara built one. Six family units on the same footprint a single compound house would occupy. Compressed earth blocks pressed from local clay and sand. Walls 30 centimetres thick. No air conditioning needed, just a fan on the hottest days in one of the hottest cities on earth. Niamey 2000 didn’t reject modernity. It questioned whose version of modernity we’ve been building.

🚨In 1990s, Stanford researcher Dr. Robert Sapolsky discovered something that should have broken the internet by now. He was studying dopamine pathways in primates and found that the brain doesn't just adapt to repeated stimulation. It actively fights back. When you flood dopamine receptors consistently, the brain deploys what neuroscientists call "opponent processes." For every artificial high you create, your nervous system generates an equal and opposite neurochemical low. Not eventually. Immediately. The system is designed to maintain balance, so it starts producing compounds that directly counteract dopamine while you're still experiencing the dopamine hit. This means every notification, every scroll, every digital reward doesn't just give you a high followed by a return to baseline. It gives you a high followed by a crash below baseline. You end up in neurochemical debt. Tech companies never publicized this research. They probably never read it. They were too busy discovering that variable ratio reinforcement schedules could keep users engaged for hours. They built addictive systems by accident, then refined them into addiction machines once they realized what they'd stumbled onto. Your phone delivers an average of 80 dopamine hits per day. Your ancestors got maybe 5. Each hit triggers opponent processes that create a corresponding low. By the end of a typical day of normal phone usage, your baseline dopamine is running in negative territory. You feel flat, restless, vaguely unsatisfied, and hungry for stimulation because your brain chemistry is literally below zero. You think you're bored. You're chemically depressed by artificial highs. The opponent process theory explains why nothing feels interesting anymore. Your brain isn't broken. It's precisely calibrated to maintain neurochemical balance, and you keep throwing that balance off with artificial intensity. Every Instagram hit requires an equal Instagram crash. Every TikTok high gets paid for with a TikTok low. Every notification rush gets balanced with notification emptiness. Your reward system is running a neurochemical deficit that grows larger every day. Sapolsky's research revealed something even more disturbing: opponent processes don't just create temporary lows. They become permanent changes to your baseline dopamine production. Chronic overstimulation doesn't just make you tolerant to digital rewards. It makes you insensitive to natural rewards. The sunset that would have captivated your great-grandfather becomes invisible to you not because sunsets got worse, but because your dopamine system needs intensity levels that sunsets can't provide. A good conversation becomes boring not because conversations got less interesting, but because your brain requires the rapid-fire stimulation of social media to register engagement. You've accidentally trained your reward system to ignore everything that isn't artificially amplified. This connects to research from Dr. Anna Lembke at Stanford, who found that people who undergo complete digital fasting for just 30 days show measurable increases in dopamine receptor density. Their brains literally regrow sensitivity to natural rewards. Food tastes better. Music sounds more complex. Social interactions become genuinely engaging again. But there's a catch that nobody talks about: the first two weeks of dopamine detox feel like clinical depression. Your brain has been chemically dependent on artificial stimulation for years. Removing that stimulation creates actual withdrawal symptoms. Restlessness, anxiety, inability to focus, emotional flatness, and desperate cravings for digital input. Most people interpret these symptoms as evidence that they need their phones. Actually, they're evidence that they've been neurochemically dependent on their phones without realizing it. The withdrawal period isn't a bug. It's proof the reset is working. What happens after week three is remarkable. Colors become more vivid. Conversations become genuinely absorbing. Simple pleasures like hot coffee or cool air become satisfying in ways you forgot were possible. Your brain rediscovers that reality contains enough complexity and beauty to hold your attention without artificial amplification. You don't need more interesting content. You need more sensitive reward systems. The solution isn't better apps or more engaging entertainment. The solution is restoring your brain's factory settings for what constitutes a worthwhile experience. Sapolsky's opponent process research suggests this can happen faster than anyone expected. Every day you don't artificially spike your dopamine, your baseline moves a little higher. Every natural reward you pay attention to rebuilds receptor density. Every moment of boredom you endure without reaching for stimulation strengthens your capacity for sustained focus. Ancient humans lived in a world that provided exactly the right amount of stimulation to keep their reward systems healthy. Enough challenge to stay engaged, enough calm to stay balanced, enough novelty to stay curious, enough routine to stay stable. We built a world that provides 10 times too much stimulation and wonder why nothing feels rewarding anymore. Your brain is not the problem. Your environment is the problem. Change the environment, and the brain heals itself automatically.

🚨Ronan Farrow on Peter Thiel's influence on Sam Altman: "It's a significant relationship." "We talk about [Altman] meeting his husband in a hot tub at Peter Thiel's." "Peter Thiel's tendrils are all over Silicon Valley, and now all over politics." "[Thiel's] espousing some frankly radical and anti-democratic ideologies and really funding structures to make those ideologies a reality."
