@O8rien_ @iamveektoria_ @growthinweb3 👍 Had a logging company with long hard hours. Training crew to work slower (for equipment and safety sake) and make every move count required a change in thinking individually, and as a crew. Water doesn’t rise above its own level.

I'm starting to get used to being an ex-lawyer. The best thing is not having an uncontrollable urge to check my email every ten minutes to make sure a client does not need something. Also, not waking up at 3am to check my email is enjoyable. Maybe I can stop taking so much blood pressure medication and vodka.

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.

🚨: Your mother is always with you, even if she is no longer in this world: science confirms it. Part of her continues living inside you at the cellular level, a real phenomenon known as microchimerism.

I've been holding back on this, but I'm just gonna let loose... So many of these "protestors" here in Asheville NC have had their lives DRAMATICALLY improved by President Trump. Trump's FEMA resolved 80% of ALL open Hurricane Helene cases Biden left sitting 116 days... in 5 DAYS. Trump's DOT gave nearly $2 BILLION to fix roads and bridges in WNC, which is the largest Emergency Relief allocation in federal highway history. Trump's DOT reopened I-40 in 5 months. Everyone said it would take years. Trump's HUD approved $1.4 billion for Helene housing recovery so fast that even Democrat Governor Josh Stein publicly thanked him for it. Trump's USDA delivered $221 million directly to WNC farmers who lost everything. Trump gave NC 6 full months of 100% federal cost coverage — one of the longest in FEMA history. The same people driving on rebuilt roads, drinking clean water, living the comeback... are out here protesting the man who made most of it happen. JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!! It's not that hard. He knew you hated him before the storm. He knew that when he landed in Asheville. And guess what? HE SHOWED UP AND HELPED YOU ANYWAYS!!!!!! And today you grabbed your little sign and costumes, got in your little Subaru, you drove on those rebuilt roads, over those rebuilt bridges, passed rebuilt houses and rebuilt parks, to protest a man who helped your city. You look stupid, out of touch, and insanely ungrateful.

You know, I rip on the Democrat Party a lot, and for good reason. But to be fair, I have to give credit where credit is due. It’s just such a super nice thing how the Democrats periodically sponsor these elder care outings. These early Hippie Boomers who comprise 97% of the “No Kings” “protestors” just sit in their urine-stained beds in the elder care facility most of the time, staring at the wall, thinking about that time they took the brown acid. It’s so very, very NICE that they get a chance to get out and smell some fresh air for a few hours. It gives them a chance to grease up the wheels on their walkers, crank up some Janis Joplin on the community hi-fi, and get out to protest… something. Goldwater maybe. Or the War in Vietnam. Not sure. Neither are they. But HEY! Fight the power, right? Plus they get free Soros-funded turkey sandwiches, free CCP-funded signs to wave and free ActBlue-funded buses from the facility to the protest and back. And don’t forget those nice young DNC volunteers rounding up the worst dementia patients to get then registered to vote (for later ballot harvesting back at the facility)! All in all what a fun outing for people who deserve some fun in their lives. Thanks, DNC!!!

When I became a citizen of the United States in 2014, on the basis of political asylum from the Gaza Strip and escaping Jihadi Islamism, I sincerely and seriously never thought that pro-Jihad, pro-Hamas, pro-terror, fascist, pro-Iran, pro-Hezbollah, anti-civilizational dark forces would become a mainstream staple in American politics and discourse. Having a group of ignorant domestic terrorists with Hamas and Palestinian flags, hiding their faces and taking over public space outside the City Hall of Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, is not only a grotesque sight, but it also demonstrates so much that has gone wrong. It is a condemnation of our country's higher education institutes, which have normalized violence, anti-Western ideologies, and embarrassing “post-colonial” narratives. This is a condemnation of a failed revisionist, neo-liberal immigration approach in which assimilation is frowned upon and viewed as bad and negative, coddling people with truly horrendous beliefs, ideologies, cultures, and backgrounds, instead of seeking to uplift and elevate them and their status. This is a condemnation of failed parenting, nonexistent community infrastructure to educate young people, failed leftist discourses, and moral bankruptcy. Remember that this has nothing to do with Palestine, for these “activists” ruined the “pro-Palestine” cause and are now seeking to latch on to any and every remaining filth that can vector their anti-human, anti-America, anti-Western, and anti-decent discourse and value system that can produce anything of meaning. Burning the American flag, while exercising your right to free speech, is the ultimate irony that only the United States of America affords to literal domestic terrorists, who are engaged in a subversive act against the very country and patriotic values that they seek to “dismantle.” Still, freedom of choice does not equal freedom from consequences. This cannot be normalized, as it unfortunately has been over the past two and a half years since Hamas’s October 7th attack. This is a domestic battle for our country’s values and future – it’s time to choose the direction you want this country to head in.

“The most effective conquest is the one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy, and that killing them is an act of virtue.”
Dan Burmawi@DanBurmawy

There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another colony, kills a single worker, and then takes on the dead ant’s scent. For ants, scent is everything. Wearing that scent, the intruder walks in with no resistance. The workers pass by without concern. The intruder moves inward, toward the queen, then It sprays the queen with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her. Then they surround her and kill her. The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself. Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is the future. This is how ideological takeover works. A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs. It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these words and quietly changes what they point to. Then it moves inward. It alters how foundations are perceived. Responsibility is made to smell like cruelty, law like oppression, borders like hatred, tradition like danger, history like guilt. At that point, the civilization turns on itself. Its courts, universities, churches, media, and bureaucracies begin treating their own foundations as threats. They believe they are defending the system. They are enforcing what now smells legitimate. They do not see the intruder because it sounds exactly like them. And when the founding principles are finally removed, discredited, dismantled, erased, the foreign ideology does not need to conquer anything. It inherits what is left. The queen is gone. The colony is no longer itself. The most effective conquest is the one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy, and that killing them is an act of virtue.

@ABCWorldNews @TrevorLAult I was an ATC controller AND a commercial pilot/flight instructor on the side for 30 years. This stuff happens ALL THE TIME, but it VERY rarely makes national news...and when it does, it gets blown WAY OUT OF PROPORTION, because 1) reporters are IDIOTS, and 2) TERROR SELLS!! UGH!!

Jensen Huang just gutted the AI job panic with one profession. Radiology. The field AI was supposed to kill first. Jensen Huang: “Computer vision was superhuman in 2019. And yet, the number of radiologists grew.” Not competitive. Not close. Superhuman. Every forecast said radiologists were finished. Every forecast was wrong. Not slightly wrong. Directionally wrong. There are now fewer radiologists than the world needs. A global shortage. In the exact specialty AI was supposed to erase. Why? Because the task was never the job. Huang: “The purpose of your job and the tasks and the tools that you use to do your job are related. Not the same.” Reading a scan is a task. Diagnosing disease is a purpose. AI handled the task. The purpose didn’t shrink. It compounded. Faster reads meant more patients seen. More patients seen meant more disease caught. More disease caught meant more demand for the people who decide what to do about it. The tool did not kill the job. It fed it. Then the fear did what the technology never could. Huang: “The alarmist warning went too far and it scared people from doing this profession that is so important to society. It did harm.” People heard radiologists were finished and walked away from the field. Medicine bled talent it could not afford to lose. Not because the work vanished. Because the panic said it would. The prediction was wrong. The damage was real. Huang: “The number of software engineers at Nvidia is going to grow, not decline.” Not hold steady. Grow. The company building the infrastructure that automates code is hiring more of the people who write it. Huang: “I wanted my software engineers to solve problems. I didn’t care how many lines of code they wrote.” Nobody ever hired an engineer to type. They hired them to think. When the machine handles syntax, the engineer does not become obsolete. The bottleneck just moves upstream. To architecture. To edge cases. To the kind of reasoning no model handles alone. The world was never short on unsolved problems. It was short on people free to chase them. That is the part the fear narrative misses every single time. 340,000 women once worked as telephone switchboard operators. That job is gone. Nobody mourns it. What replaced it created millions of roles that nobody in 1920 had the vocabulary to describe. The losses are always visible. The gains are always invisible until they arrive. That pattern has survived every technological shift in history. It is surviving this one. The people forecasting mass displacement are making the same mistake as the people who forecasted the end of radiology. They can see the task being automated. They cannot see the purpose expanding underneath it. That blindness is not just wrong. It is expensive. Every person scared out of a career that AI will actually make more valuable is a cost the economy absorbs for nothing. Not because of the technology. Because of the story told about it.

Why is there no more Campbell's Nacho Cheese in these parts? I have looked for several months and have found none. Their website advertises but I find none when shopping. Maybe because they bought the Pace brand? Not that I don't doctor it up some, but hey...

Those bases were cooked weeks ago and just NOW are losses acknowledged in the Paper of Record. I believe the American ppl would be both more angry and alarmed if they knew about these grave setbacks in real time. How are we supposed to do boots on the ground operating from European bases by the way? From the air you can take off from afar and refuel en route. How will troops be supported and supplied?
Luke Gromen@LukeGromen

“Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage.” -NYT just now First MSM admission I’ve seen of this fact

That awesome moment when I see @DataRepublican start with "Hello (insert victim's name here)" just fills my soul with joy 😊
DataRepublican (small r)@DataRepublican

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

I have started to use AI much more in the last couple of months and I am shocked by what I can do with Claude Cowork and some of the other tools. It eliminates my need to hire administrative help. However, it does increase my need to get some higher-level help for other things, like sales or marketing. Like a major technological development, it will hurt folks who can't learn new skills, but I don't think it will cause a major drop in employment.

Three years ago, I was more upbeat about artificial intelligence from a job-creation perspective. As of today, I officially declare any remaining optimism on that front dead. The more leaders I talk to about how they are deploying AI, the more I'm left with a sense of dread for America's workforce. Sure, the best and the brightest will use new AI tools and drive massive productivity gains. But what happens to everyone else who's just a solid worker? Or an older worker who can't suddenly pick up AI workflows? I can tell you what happens: They get to spend a year searching for a job or opting for a career switch to drive for Uber. Though even that job appears at risk, given how Uber is keen on rolling out Rivian robotaxis to compete against Tesla robotaxis. What am I missing here?
