I did an Ironman with my best friend on a island. It was cool.

@aakashgupta I'm more confused on why you cited an Apple watch yet in the photos and this screenshot is @WHOOP

You check your Apple Watch in the morning. Sleep score: 62. You decide it's going to be a foggy day. And then it is. A 2014 Colorado College study suggests the score itself causes the fog. 164 people walked into a lab. Researchers hooked them up to fake EEG equipment and told them the readout would show their REM percentage from the night before. Then they fabricated a number. Half the room was told 28.7%. Half was told 16.2%. The machine wasn't measuring anything. Participants took four cognitive tests. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, where you add numbers spoken at increasing speed and hold your last sum in working memory while computing the next. And the Controlled Oral Word Association Task, where you generate as many words as you can starting with a single letter under time pressure. Both are gold-standard measures of attention and executive function used in clinical neurology. The 28.7% group outperformed the 16.2% group on both. Significantly. How rested participants actually felt that morning predicted nothing. The mechanism is mindset priming an executive resource. When you believe you slept well, you allocate cognitive effort more aggressively. You don't conserve. You don't pre-disengage. Belief about the resource changes how you spend it. Two control conditions ruled out demand characteristics. Participants weren't trying harder because they thought they should. Real measurable cognitive performance shifted with the number on the readout. The Apple Watch sleep score. The Oura ring readiness number. The morning ritual of checking either one is taxing the resource you're about to need. The performance gap from a fabricated REM percentage was larger than the gap from how rested participants actually felt. The number was louder than the night.

Let’s see who grieves for that garbage.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Greg Gutfeled GOES HAYWIRE after Jessica Tarlov sets him off! "We had dozens of American deaths where YOU DIDN'T SAY SH*T." 🔥 "I’m absolutely BORED by this. I’m bored by the Nazi stuff, bored by the 'concerned' people in the media that weren't concerned when innocent women were R*PED AND M*RDERED, who didn’t CARE about the 57 who died under Obama!" "You deserve NO attention on this. You deserve NO credibility on this!" "It seems like you're ready for another one. You had Renee Good, that went for a couple of weeks. You had this guy, went for a week or so. You're gonna need a third one!" "I don't care about any of this performance anymore, Jessica. It's done. And you know what? Neither does Trump. People are voting for the law. They want the law." "If you wanna cry about m*rders and r*pists, DO IT ON YOUR OWN TIME!" @greggutfeld 🫳🎤🔥🔥

Last night hail started pounding our house in Oklahoma. I forgot to pull the Tesla into the garage. From my bed, I opened the garage, pulled the car in, and closed it all from my phone. Thanks, @elonmusk . Thanks, @Tesla .

@RealCandaceO You legit are batshit crazy…

Update! Cabot Phillips has responded to my text to clarify matters: 1) We weren’t imagining things. His beard didn’t magically grow overnight as some suggested. He pre-recorded the segment a few days earlier and then it was later released on the 8th. (Not atypical if someone goes on vacation) 2) He did coincidentally go away over an extended weekend, not to Arizona but to New York City with his brothers from Friday through to early Monday. 3) Entirely unclear why he couldn’t just respond to my text since I messaged him in earnest BEFORE we published any claims at all.

This.

Erika Kirk’s entire speech today at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service. I would encourage every American to watch this. One of the most impactful speeches I’ve ever heard.

🚨BREAKING: This beautiful 3 minute and 48 second compilation of Charlie's words of wisdom has gone viral. Rest in peace.

This is going to blow your mind “Me and my wife went and did the pre approval process for a mortgage loan yesterday and what the f*ck are you talking about” “We're looking at the numbers, looking at our income, looking at our credit, and they have us at $450,000 — They have our mortgage after PMI, after insurance, after taxes; at $4,636 a month. What the f*ck are you talking about” “For the average American, this is way f*cking far out of reach” Interest terms in this country are out of control and should be federally illegal A $450,000 home now costs $1,668,960 after interest and fees on a 30 year mortgage in America Total cost: Principal ($427,500) + Interest ($897,840) + Taxes/Insurance/PMI ($343,620) = $1,668,960 You just paid $1,668,960 for a $450,000 home… This is how much it costs to buy a home in one of the most affordable states in America, Texas

@ThePrism89 @rawsalerts I thought you were leaving X? Why you still here?

🚨#BREAKING: President Donald Trump officially threatens to seize control of Washington, DC if the Democrat officials and mayor who control the city fail to restore law and order.

I accepted Christ as my savior at 14yrs old, and the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game but now that I am one with God,the main event theme of surrender,service and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord and Savior and so it is,even now brother,AMEN!

@christoph_m_ I’m on the side of the American people—the ones paying taxes while both parties act like it’s high school drama. We elect leaders to work, not go viral. Last time I picked sides in a breakup, it was 7th grade. I’ve grown up. Maybe they should too.

@TalbotCox Sure but I meant Trump vs. Elon😂

@christoph_m_ I’d choose America 10x over. lol

@TalbotCox Maybe our Europe is not so bad after all. What side you're on now?

@dallasteslaclub When will it truly be FSD. If you were each to guess.

Here is the raw footage of my Tesla going through the wall. Not sure why it disengages 17 frames before hitting the wall but my feet weren’t touching the brake or gas.

Hey @CAgovernor I usually don’t agree with you or your policies. But I respect what you are doing and bringing conversation to the table I have subscribed and I will listen. 👌🏼👍🏼
