what did I miss?

Your daily reminder.

Huw Edwards, Jimmy Saville, and so many more. The BBC is a pedophile organization.

I genuinely believe there is a market for beautiful, functional gyms that aren’t blazing Charlie XCX under LED lighting. Something like the original Greek gymnasium that is a temple to full cultivation of both mind and body.

Political reality... the right has a problem... Reform has fumbled the ball. They were the anti-establishment option that became the establishment. They will continue to slide in the polls. Gone has the rhetoric of fixing the country, backed with bold policies. Now we have petrol station and energy bill gimmicks - it is embarrassing and the lack of self-awareness with this nonsense is incredible. Can they change course? Yes. Will they change course? No. GB News - The Reform Party TV station has a huge sunk cost, they backed a movement which is now failing. They can't back Restore, despite the fact that many viewers have already switched sides. Reform will continue to slide in the polls. Eventually Nigel will step down before 2029 rather than face defeat. The Conservatives really don't have momentum, certainly not with young people and their voter base is dying, literally. The Green's have momentum but Zack Polanski is a revolutionary. The problem with revolutionaries is they are great at revolutions, great at tearing things down, terrible at running things. As he has little to no understanding of economics, the country will certainly head into a strange and dangerous place under him. Sadly, a coalition with the Labour Party is likely, to ensure the left win. If they do, many of the wealth creators will leave the country before they confiscate everything. Utopia will not arrive and there will be many stupid people who will regret their vote. The right can save themselves in the next election, but it needs to be a proper anti-establishment movement. Restore has the right ideas and energy, but this is a big job over the next three years. The job is to educate and mobilise enough of the public to realise that: - Inflation must be dealt with - Growth must be allowed - The blob must be dismantled It requires big bold choices, like Milei has done in Argentina. The OBR must go, the Bank of England must be constrained, a chainsaw must be taken to the state, crime must be punished, indoctrination must be removed from education, etc... etc... The list is long, but it is all doable. Never in history has the problem of a country been solved with socialism, it always and everywhere makes things work, but there are many stupid voters who have not read history. Remember, this is a cult, it is ideological. We are in dangerous times!

do the opposite of what health experts say to be healthy no salt --> 5-10g a day no beef --> 1lb a day no sunlight --> 30 mins raw a day no eggs --> 3 a day avoid saturated fat --> butter every meal it's simple

Norwich has lost forty-six per cent of the businesses inside a 500-metre radius of its town centre. You'd have called that a recession statistic once upon a time, but it's actually something larger, on the order of a city's economic memory being erased in real time. Every one of those shutters is somebody's name above a door, somebody's lease, and somebody's last roll of the dice. The British Retail Consortium has now told the Treasury that the National Insurance increase will cost the retail sector £2.3 billion a year. Ministers were warned this would happen. They were warned by people who have actually run shops, employed people, made payroll. They went ahead anyway, because the Treasury model said it would raise revenue, and the Treasury model does not contain a column for the baker on Magdalen Street. The country we used to be - that country that built all this up - was the country that took small commerce seriously, the country that knew that that's where it all starts. And small business is not charity; it's the basic unit of an economy that belongs to its people. We are losing that, and we are losing it on purpose.

Piano and language are the only two childhood activities where the cognitive transfer effects have been replicated in 50+ years of research. And parents picked them by accident. Piano forces bilateral motor coordination. Your left hand and right hand play different rhythms simultaneously, which builds the corpus callosum, the bridge between your two brain hemispheres. Kids who trained piano for 3+ years showed 25% thicker corpus callosum fibers on MRI. That connectivity doesn't just help with music. It transfers to math, spatial reasoning, and reading comprehension. Language does something different but equally permanent. Learning a second language before age 12 physically rewires the prefrontal cortex for task switching. Bilingual kids don't just speak two languages. Their brains develop a stronger executive control system because they're constantly suppressing one language while activating another. That suppression circuit is the same one you use for impulse control, long-term planning, and filtering distractions. The parents who forced these two specific activities had no idea about corpus callosum thickness or prefrontal cortex remodeling. They just thought piano was "cultured" and languages were "practical." They accidentally picked the only two childhood skill investments with permanent neurological returns. The kids who hated those lessons the most are now the adults with the strongest cognitive hardware for everything that has nothing to do with piano or French.

The UK is blatantly corrupt £179,000,000 is an insane amount of money There’s no possible way planning can cost this much Wonder how many MP’s kids work in ‘planning’ In Africa at least they’d bother to build some crappy road whilst pocketing 90% of it

The UK has a far flatter income distribution than the Communist Soviet Union. The UK take home minimum wage for working a full time job (40-hours) is now £22,555. At £100k salary, the take home is £68,558. That is a net income ratio of 3.04:1 We are now at the point where the wage compression and taxes in the UK means that the difference between minimum wage and a top 5% salary is a net income difference of only ~3x. In the USSR using the same comparison, this figure never fell below 5:1 It's actually even worse in reality because the person earning £100k in the UK often has student loans. Britain is nominally capitalist but functionally communist. China is nominally communist but functionally capitalist. Funny how that works.

Lee Kuan Yew on the failure of the European welfare system:

No one is prepared for how materially poorer the UK is likely to become over the next two decades. A disproportionate share of British wealth is concentrated in housing. Over 40% of total household wealth, approaching £4 trillion, is tied up in residential property. For the past 30 years that seemingly worked very well. Housing absorbed a significant share of monetary premium in an environment defined by falling interest rates, expanding credit and persistent monetary easing. It ceased to function purely as shelter and instead became leveraged money and a store of value. The UK faces a combination of headwinds that means this is going to change. An ageing population, low birth rates, slowing population growth and increasing capital outflows as high net-worth individuals relocate to more favourable jurisdictions in the Middle East and Asia. At the same time, housing is no longer the only recipient of excess liquidity. The global choice for storing value has expanded and alternative monetary assets, such as Bitcoin, are beginning to compete for that premium. The UK has mistaken housing inflation for wealth creation for three decades. What follows is unlikely to be a sudden collapse but a slow erosion of real value concealed by nominal stability. A large portion of British wealth is far more fragile than widely understood.

Farmed salmon does not have orange flesh. Wild salmon builds its colour from astaxanthin, an antioxidant it gets from eating krill and small crustaceans in a functioning marine food chain. Farmed salmon lives in a net pen. It does not eat krill. It eats a grain-and-fishmeal pellet that does not contain meaningful astaxanthin. The flesh is therefore grey. The farms add synthetic astaxanthin to the feed. There is an industry colour chart called SalmoFan. It has sixteen shades, numbered. The farms pick which shade of orange they'd like their salmon to be. The number goes into the feed specification. The flesh arrives at the correct colour. The fish you're eating was colour-matched from a swatch card. The fat profile is similarly a product of what it was fed, which means a farmed salmon's omega-3 content is substantially lower than a wild one's, and its omega-6 is substantially higher, because the feed contains grain and soy. You are paying wild salmon prices, in many cases, for a grain-fed, dyed, net-pen fish. The label says salmon. The label is technically accurate.

Every day, 45 tax-paying millionaires leave the UK, taking countless jobs with them. Every day, 3,000 new welfare recipients are added. You have seen nothing yet. But hey, a wealth tax will fix that.

The British government hid this data for years. Now it is out. 79% of everyone arrested for theft on British railways was a foreigner. 40% of all arrests. 37% of sexual offenses. 36% of violent crimes. All foreign nationals. They knew exactly what the consequences of their immigration policy were. They just never told you.

starting to suspect this is staged, because if it’s real i have to accept i’ve been living in a horror movie this whole time are you telling me the world could be this beautiful? what the fuck you can just press the button and get a developed country

Translated: “I could have bought Bitcoin ‘long ago’, but I didn’t. And now I am going to fabricate a reason Bitcoin is bad and must fail, so I can feel better about not buying any.”

Pakistani born, Brescia based Imam Ali Kashif went on Italian TV and defended Muslims right to marry 9 year old girls. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, the Iron Lady of Italy didn't come out to give a long talk, she simply gave orders to men on the ground. Imam Kashif woke up this morning to find himself in Pakistan 🇵🇰 That's the way to do it 🇮🇹
