Does anyone else spend the entire modern movie turning the volume up and down because there is zero sound consistency in movies anymore?

Denmark is investing $83,754,486 in textbooks and turning away from its digital-first approach to education. This follows research showing that screens reduce concentration, impact mental health, and hurt student performance. Yet another dynamic to the EdTech debate.

Prime Minister of the Netherlands handed over the government and left on his bicycle, but every Nigerian man needs a car to boost his confidence😂😂 I can't promise all of you cars if I become President but you will have good roads and infrastructure!

We don’t talk about that enough.

I always say, never judge a book by its cover… You just might miss a best seller!👍👍💃🕺👏👏

If we don't educate children in history, culture, languages, religion, traditions, ethics and critical thinking preferring instead to limit them to STEM subjects, then we are raising a generation of easy to manipulate morons. This is becoming ever more obvious today.

LASIK eye surgery cost $2,200 per eye in 2000. Today it's around $1,000 per eye despite 24 years of inflation. Meanwhile, an MRI that cost $1,200 in 2000 now costs $3,000+. The difference? LASIK operates in a free market with no insurance interference and minimal regulation. When patients pay directly, providers must compete on price and quality. LASIK clinics advertise prices, offer financing, and constantly improve technology to attract customers. Compare this to hospital procedures where prices are hidden, patients never see bills, and insurance companies negotiate opaque rates that somehow always increase faster than inflation. Cosmetic surgery follows the same pattern. Breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and other elective procedures have become more affordable and safer over decades. Surgeons invest in better techniques and equipment because they must satisfy paying customers, not insurance bureaucrats or hospital administrators focused on maximizing reimbursements. The lesson is clear: remove third-party payment systems and excessive regulation, and you get Austrian economics in action. Prices fall, quality rises, and innovation accelerates. Healthcare costs aren't rising because of aging populations or new technology—they're rising because we've destroyed the price mechanism that makes markets work.

An IAS officer in Chhattisgarh FIXED a maternal health CRISIS that the government couldn't solve with a recipe older than modern medicine. She did it with a ladoo! Yes, you read that right 🤯 Okay so here’s what happened: Koriya district had one of the worst maternal health records in the state: → High-risk pregnancies → Underweight babies → Mothers going into labour severely anaemic. Simply because pregnant women weren't getting enough nutritious food. So District Collector Chandan Tripathi did something no consultant would pitch. She turned a grandmother’s ragi modak into a structured maternal health system. Here’s what they did differently: → Created iron-rich ragi modak ladoos (dietician approved) → Gave 2 ladoos daily to every pregnant woman → Added iron supplementation from the 5th month → Paired each woman with a “Poshan Sangwari” to ensure she actually consumed them They called it the Koriya Modak Ladoo programme. The most brilliant part about this is that they didn't hire outsiders to make the ladoos. The same women it was meant to help now make the ladoos, earning ₹10,000–12,000 per month. And look at the results now: ✅ 57% reduction in low birth weight cases. ✅ 362/398 underweight mothers gained healthy weight ✅ 3,00,000+ ladoos distributed so far. And all of this was possible not because of a ₹100 crore government tender but because of trust in community knowledge and the will to execute it properly. Sometimes the most powerful solutions aren’t expensive.

Since the BABUS are obsessed with building flyovers for every traffic problem, they might as well throw a cycle track underneath, like this. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Leave whatever you’re doing now and watch this…

Once upon a time, the customer was king and queen. Now we’re more like tenants, we pay rent and hope the landlord doesn’t change the locks. Years ago, I bought a piece of software. Paid once. Owned it outright. Used it whenever I wanted, wherever I wanted, for as long as I wanted. The company sold it, waved goodbye, and stayed out of my life. Bliss. Today, software companies have discovered a better business model: never let go of greed. You don’t buy software anymore - you subscribe to the privilege of using it. Which means it can be taken away, downgraded, upgraded, re-priced, or “sunset” whenever they feel like it. Your consent is optional. Your payment is not. To make things more fun, software and hardware companies now hold hands and walk into the sunset together. This version works only on that device. That update breaks your old system. Sorry. Please upgrade. Again. As a user, you’re paying month after month while having absolutely no control. And if one day you decide to leave? Ah yes - the unsubscribe button. Carefully hidden. Buried deep. Guarded by layers of menus, confirmation screens, guilt-tripping messages, and the occasional “Are you sure?” The crown is gone. Long live the subscription.

Unless it’s a life-threatening or medical emergency, 10-minute delivery should be banned. Why do you need everyday items, including food, in 10 minutes? It puts delivery workers' lives at risk and subjects them to extreme stress. This is totally avoidable.

Sweden is a cautionary tale for Scottish education. After years of pushing digital-first learning and replacing textbooks with screens, the government is now spending millions to bring real books back into classrooms. Not because technology is evil, but because overuse of screens weakened reading, focus and deep learning. Foundational skills need paper, books and explicit teaching. Digital tools should support learning, not replace it.

Circadian rhythm dysfunction is highly prevalent in ADHD Up to ~75% of patients have delayed sleep and wake timing, and shifting the clock earlier is linked to symptom improvement I just published a paper on what this means for treatment. Here’s what we found 🧵1/12

Pay attention to how all these big companies who previously were so anti consumer are suddenly giving out everything for free now. Should tell you all you need to know

Australia passed a law yesterday that no child under 16 can have a social media account. The day it passed, it deleted every single child account across multiple social media apps. Well done, Australia! 👏🏾
