For a limited time, I am lowering the "star" level on my social network to $1/mo and have changed the pay method from Stripe to PayPal due to an attractive offer.

@jeffreytucker Not nearly enough of what he deserves. He helped rain down hell. A servant of chaos.

The crashing and burning of Bill Gates is one of the more spectacular turns of our age. It's hard to believe. This guy was not only the global warming guru but probably the top Covid lockdown and vaccine pundit who made bank on the whole operation. Now he is a poster child of overclass arrogance, pretense, decadence, and corruption. Amazing.

@davidpattersonx I wish

Wow. Amazing. AGI. ASI. This year. Repeat. Profit.

@mikekalilmfg How about simply telling the public how to disable data sharing.

Chinese robots appear headed for a federal ban in the United States. The bipartisan American Security Robotics Act of 2026, introduced by Republican Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York, targets unmanned ground vehicle systems (UGVs), which includes everything from wheeled surveillance robots to legged humanoid and robodogs. If passed, it would prohibit federal money from going toward robots manufactured or assembled by companies tied to China and designated foreign adversaries. GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has introduced companion legislation in the House. The legislation does not propose a blanket consumer ban but it could have a major impact on federally funded research at universities where Hangzhou-based Unitree’s G1 has become the default humanoid development platform thanks to its relatively low entry price. Concerns about China’s aggressive robotics push have risen sharply among US officials after Unitree’s viral display during the 2026 Spring Festival Gala on primetime Chinese TV. A fleet of Unitree’s compact G1 and full-sized H2 humanoids stunned audiences with their advanced Kung Fu and acrobatic capabilities. “The Chinese Communist Party has shown that they are willing to lie and cheat to get ahead at the expense of the American people and our national security,” Schumer said in a press release. “They are running their standard playbook – this time in robotics – trying to flood the US market with their technology, which presents real security risks and threats to Americans’ privacy and American research and industry. We must protect our country from these threats, starting with a ban on the federal government buying CCP technology.” The bill’s language provides wiggle room for the Department of Homeland Security, the DoD, and the DOJ. They can still use the systems if it services national interests or if they’ve been modified to eliminate any data-sharing risk with foreign entities and are certified as secure. The proposal has a moderate chance of making it to President Trump’s desk for approval. Whether he signs it probably depends on his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jingping when it hits his desk. It’s a politically safe move for both major parties in the US, where attitudes about artificial intelligence have soured significantly since it captured the cultural zeitgeist in late 2022. Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders have proposed a moratorium of new AI datacenter construction until comprehensive federal regulations are considered.

The FTC early termination notice (filed Mar 26) confirms Eli Lilly cleared antitrust for acquiring Insilico Medicine (Cayman TopCo + subs). Insilico is the AI drug discovery pioneer (Pharma.AI platform) with clinical-stage assets targeting age-related diseases like fibrosis, cancer, and immunology. Significance: First top-5 pharma outright buy of a major AI-native biotech. Builds on their 2023 software deal + 2025 research collab. Brings massive scale to AI-driven pipelines—potentially speeding healthier aging therapies. Details still emerging, but this validates the field big time.

you have no idea how better it's getting - celebrating birthdays backwards - peptides FDA approved - work 100% optional - personal medicine tailored to your genome at birth - average longevity 112 - death by aging considered policy failure we're going back to the future

Scientists CRUSHED a rat’s spinal cord for 60 seconds. One injection of BPC-157. Ten minutes after injury. By day 28 — the paralysis REVERSED. PMID: 31266512 If you have an injury that won’t heal — read this. 🧵

@uncledoomer It must be a politician.

genuinely why wouldnt this still be good

Aging will kill us all. That’s bad

@ImtiazMadmood @saif_aldareei @grok are they hitting military only targets. Are they avoiding civilians.

American B-52 bombers are raining down massive explosions across the capital. The sky is lit up like the sun is rising in the middle of the night! - @saif_aldareei

@Dr_Singularity We are clearly behind. The name Android alone tells me it was planned to be much earlier. To prepare us for this moment which was to happen a while ago. Just my opinion.

The smartphone era is peaking. Humanoid robots are about to take over.

@strygah @EliLillyandCo @InSilicoMeds @biogerontology @grok what is the significance

🚨🚨🚨@EliLillyandCo seems to be acquiring @InSilicoMeds This is HUGE!! Not many details as of now @biogerontology 🤞🤞🤞

@siimland Does lifestyle include dying?

You’ve probably heard that longevity is 20% genetics and 80% lifestyle But that would make it an outlier because almost every other human trait is closer to 50% genetic Dr. Uri Alon is a physicist and systems biologist whose recent research suggests that longevity is much more genetic than previously thought: •~50% genetics •~50% non-genetic + unexplained variance (environment, lifestyle, and stochastic noise or luck) Here’s what this means for your own longevity⬇️⬇️ Full podcast: youtu.be/vapZCUuaj6o

Someone should remind them you can't take it with. If nothing less work on nanotech. That IS "going somewhere".

A major new paper reframes aging as a systems failure of epigenetic information. Not wear and tear but a software problem. This is what the Information Theory of Aging predicts and, if correct, means aging is reversible. Let's dive in... 🧵

Encouraging people to kill themselves is one way to solve the insolvency from the costs of aging (Medicare, social security). I find it more ethical to allocate capital to solve aging with science instead. Maybe that’s just me.

Anderson Cooper just introduced millions of Americans to two of our earliest guests. Celine Halioua, CEO of Loyal, and Matt Kaeberlein, co-director of The Dog Aging Project, were both featured on 60 Minutes this week — making the case that studying how dogs age could unlock the secrets of human longevity. Here’s a clip: @60minutes/video/7620528741856431373" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@60minutes/vid… Translating Aging was there at the beginning, with some of our first episodes back in 2021: • Ep 3 with Celine: how she left academic biology to build the first company developing FDA-regulated drugs to extend healthy lifespan in dogs — and why dogs are a uniquely powerful model for aging science. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tra… • Ep 4 with Matt: why the Dog Aging Project, with 50,000+ enrolled dogs, may be one of the most important longitudinal aging studies running anywhere. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tra… Both episodes are still sharp. If 60 Minutes got you curious, these are your next listens!

Aging may or may not be classified as a disease, but that’s largely semantics. What matters is that aging is a malleable, targetable biological process, and slowing human aging would result in massive health benefits.

wow Rubedo just reported positive early results for RLS-1496, a first in class drug targeting "zombie" senescent cells that drive aging. This is big. We’re talking about a therapy designed to clear dysfunctional aging cells and potentially reverse aspects of skin aging and inflammation. Early data looks promising, and the program is already moving through clinical trials with more results expected soon. Why this matters? It’s targeting one of the core mechanisms of aging itself.
