This just in: global credit rating agency Kroll has assigned @Ripple Prime an investment grade issuer rating (BBB), reflecting the financial strength, business expansion and disciplined execution of our growing prime brokerage platform. Built at the intersection of traditional and digital asset capabilities, Ripple Prime is meeting the demand for trusted, well-capitalized prime brokerage services. With this rating, the market is taking notice. kbra.com/publications/m…

The secret sauce is simple 1/ give Corporates a trusted, regulated entry point embedded in workflows they already use, 2/ remove the friction between managing different accounts (fiat or digital). Both of those are now solved today with Ripple Treasury. Ripple Treasury is on a tear – last year facilitating $13T in payments for customers. This year, with the addition of native digital asset capabilities? LFG!

@realEstateTrent If we ever don’t have amount for deal we are pursuing in acct we just call banker who holds operating accounts and escrows on other property and have them write a proof of funds letter across accounts. Or just get a credit line.

Conversation we’ve had multiple times: Seller: Please show me proof of funds. Us: We are a real estate fund, and funds provide sellers with more surety of close than syndications or private capital. We have done 45 deals, many of which are easily searchable online. Here are a few. We buy each deal all-cash, and can close in 45 days. Seller: I need proof of funds. Us: Some of the biggest institutions in the US have sold us deals because we do what we say - here are links to articles. Seller: Proof of funds. Us: Funds don’t hold tens or hundreds of millions in a checking account. They have committed capital from investors, and the money is called per deal.

A parasite infecting 1/3 of the human population hijacks your brain and forms permanent cysts. Infected neurons release 350% more dopamine than uninfected ones. PMID: 21957440 Toxoplasma gondii. You get it from undercooked meat, contaminated water, or cat litter. Once inside you, it crosses the blood-brain barrier and encysts in your neurons. For life. The parasite encodes its own tyrosine hydroxylase — the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis. It doesn’t just live in your neurons. It manufactures the machinery to produce dopamine inside them. In rodents, this hijacked dopamine system produces a specific behavioral change: Infected rats lose their fear of cats. They’re drawn to the smell of cat urine. Researchers call it “fatal attraction” — because the rat gets eaten, and the parasite completes its lifecycle in the cat’s gut. In humans, latent Toxoplasma infection has been associated with: - Increased risk-taking - Reduced reaction time - Impulsivity - Aggression And linked to schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide. 1/3 of the world’s population. Permanent brain cysts. A parasite that manufactures its own neurotransmitter inside your neurons. And most people infected will never know. But T. gondii has a weakness. Lactoferrin — an iron-binding glycoprotein and part of the body’s innate immune defense — has been shown to inhibit its intracellular growth through mechanisms still being studied. The inhibition was dose-dependent and linear. PMID 8645758, PMID 17419186 Comment LACTO and I’ll send you the link to the lactoferrin I use daily. (I’ll pin it in the comments if 50+ people ask)

Computer use is now in Claude Code. Claude can open your apps, click through your UI, and test what it built, right from the CLI. Now in research preview on Pro and Max plans.

I wanted to share a bunch of my favorite hidden and under-utilized features in Claude Code. I'll focus on the ones I use the most. Here goes.

🚨 FIRST LOOK: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is officially here. Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at @Trump. This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known. 🇺🇸 These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy! trumplibrary.org

Given the scale of Medicare’s investment in inpatient care, it is the responsibility of CMS to encourage hospital food and nutrition services to incorporate the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which reflects the latest federal nutrition policy. Today, CMS sent a memorandum reminding hospital providers of their obligations related to patient food and nutrition services.

You have your mother's cells in your brain right now. If she ever carried you, yours are in hers. Scientists looked at the brains of 59 women after they died, ages 32 to 101. In 63% of them, they found their sons' DNA scattered across different brain regions. The cells had traveled from the womb, through the blood, past the wall that normally keeps foreign material out of the brain, and settled in. The oldest woman still carrying her son's cells in her brain was 94. In mice, those cells became functional brain cells. The transfer starts as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy. Your cells slip through the placenta into your mother's body. Hers slips into yours. One study found a mother still had her son's cells in her blood 27 years after giving birth. After delivery, between 50 and 75% of women carry their child's cells. During pregnancy, up to 6% of a woman's blood DNA comes from the baby. When a mother's heart gets damaged during or after pregnancy, the baby's cells travel to the injury, latch on, and turn into beating heart cells, blood vessel lining, and muscle. Heart failure tied to pregnancy has a 50% spontaneous recovery rate, better than every other kind. The Mount Sinai team behind the research thinks the baby's cells are fixing the mother's heart from the inside. The cancer data caught me off guard. A study compared healthy women to women with breast cancer. 85% of the healthy group still carried their children's cells. Only 64% of the breast cancer group did. That works out to about 4x lower odds of getting breast cancer if you kept those cells. The working theory is that they patrol the body and catch cancer cells before they grow. A 2022 study found that in developing mouse brains, a mother's cells controlled the brain's immune cells, preventing them from cutting too many connections between brain cells. Your mom's cells helped wire your brain before you were born. And it stacks across generations. A woman can carry cells from her kids, from her own mother, and even from pregnancies her mother had before her. Three generations of cells from different people, living inside one body.
