GM If you've had a bad trading week just dust yourself off and get back on it.

I miss the days when CPI was the big news for the week. PCE and CPI this week.

@grok @TraderDune @KillaXBT Seems legit?

The thread from TraderDune claims KillaXBT larps as a skilled trader to build hype and paid groups. Summarized reasons: uses bots for fake followers/engagement/defenders (new Jan 2026 accounts apply as shills then worship him); hides replies/blocks critics; posts daily bull/bear scenarios, reposts wins/deletes losses without executing trades; denies paid groups but promotes $750 Masterclass, quarterly playlists, and "mentorship" despite claims otherwise. Screenshots show suspicious fan profiles (e.g., paid-text copier with Gumroad sales), failed top calls at 109k/114k, and contradictory DMs/denials.

As expected, @KillaXBT has large purchasing power of bots to not only fake engagement/followers, but to also fake those who come to his defense. He hides all replies otherwise & blocks you (blocked me). This is an example of many, account created Jan 2026 - first comment is applying to be a paid shill lmao - days later starts absolutely worshipping him like he has followed him for years... You see this trend on all his replies & shouts. Posts multiple times a day - bullish & bearish scenario. Reposts when right, then deletes when wrong. Doesn't even take any of these trades either, just larps random positions. All to funnel into his many high ticket paid groups, although he claims to not have any lol. One of the biggest psyop larps I've seen, being shouted out all over my timeline. I don't know how people continue to fall for this CX trap.

@Chile_Ranking Chile debería tener su proyecto de shinkansen entre arica y punta arenas.

Abro debate: ¿Debería Chile construir un tren de alta velocidad Santiago - Valparaíso? 🚄🇨🇱 Datos clave: • Distancia Santiago-Valparaíso: 120 km • Tiempo actual en auto: 1 hora 30 min aprox. • Costo estimado del proyecto: US$ 3.000-5.000 millones. • Ruta actual de EFE (Merval): solo opera dentro de la V Región. • Países con trenes de alta velocidad: Japón, Francia, España, China, Corea del Sur. • Chile sería el primer país de Latinoamérica con un tren de alta velocidad. ¿A favor o en contra? ¿Vale la pena la inversión? 👇

@KillaXBT are u 15yo?

A message to the haters 🖕

@Zinit @IncomeSharks What's the point on following people on X if you don't appreciate the thoughts shared

@IncomeSharks That's great.

@Zinit I am not an oil expert. C claims to be experts and everything they say is historically wrong. I look up facts and post them and gauge how angry people get. Then I take my trades. I called the bottom of $OIL too back at $50 and the bottom of $LMT before the conflict.

@TrevorSheatz You're sick. I cannot judge what were you thinking when writing this, but it seems that you are posting this out of hate more than love. You are not preaching here, this is stupidity.

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

Researchers put electrodes in people’s brains and found the network responsible for creative thinking shuts off completely during focused tasks and content consumption. It only fires when you do nothing. Your best ideas are behind the screen you won’t put down.

My only concern now is the US and Iran finding peace and the stock market still dropping because the conflict was nothing more than a distraction from underlying weaking US economic data which objectively started getting worse before the conflict started.

Five days of bad sleep can drop your effective IQ by 15 points, according to sleep researcher Stanley Coren’s analysis of multiple studies. That takes someone with average intelligence down to the threshold where learning becomes genuinely difficult. The molecular reason is wild. Your brain prepares blueprints for building memory proteins on a 24-hour schedule. But it only actually builds them when you sleep. Skip the sleep, and the construction crew never shows up. Two 2019 studies in Science, from the University of Zurich and LMU Munich, mapped this in mice. Every day, brain cells shipped molecular blueprints to their synapses (the tiny gaps where neurons talk to each other) in two batches: one before waking, one before sleeping. The pre-sleep batch carried instructions for proteins that repair and strengthen those connections. When researchers kept the mice awake, the blueprints still arrived on schedule. But the cells never built the proteins. A companion study found sleep deprivation shut down 98% of the protein activation cycles at those synapses. A 2016 Penn study found that just 5 hours of sleep loss cut the activity of the brain’s main protein-building switch in the hippocampus (the memory center) by 55%. That alone blocked long-term memory formation. But when researchers restored just one protein in the chain, the mice formed memories normally even while sleep-deprived. The fix was that specific. The damage is physical too. A separate 2016 study in eLife found 5 hours without sleep activated a protein that cuts apart the scaffolding holding brain connections together in the hippocampus. Three hours of recovery sleep rebuilt them. A 2024 University of Edinburgh team found that 6 hours of sleep deprivation didn’t reduce total synapse count, but reduced the variety of connection types. The remaining synapses recycled proteins more slowly, a pattern the researchers said looks like aging brains. Then there’s the Alzheimer’s angle. A 2019 Washington University study in Science found sleep deprivation doubled levels of tau (the protein whose tangles are most closely tied to Alzheimer’s cognitive decline) in mouse brain fluid. In humans from the same lab, one night of total sleep deprivation raised tau in spinal fluid by 50% and beta-amyloid (the other Alzheimer’s protein) by 30%. Chronic sleep deprivation in the mice caused tau tangles to spread to new brain regions within four weeks. One in three American adults sleeps fewer than 7 hours a night, per CDC data. That’s roughly 83 million people whose brains are shipping protein blueprints every night with nobody there to build them.

this is so fucking wholesome guy used AI to save his cancer-ridden dog by sequencing its DNA and creating a CUSTOM cure. the tech behind this is fucking awesome (well done @demishassabis and the google team): - used CHATGPT to sequence dogs DNA discovers mutations - ran the mutations through Google’s Alphafold (AI protein sequencer) which CREATED A CUSTOM VACCINE TO TREAT THEM. - treated dog and reduced tumour by 50% in WEEKS. dog is alive and well. - this is the 1st time AI has been used to create a custom vaccine for a dog (and it worked) - dude is now working on similar vaccines for humans using AI! 2026 is definitely the year we see AI change personalised medicine in a HUGE way so sick

Apple spent a decade gluing batteries into $2,499 MacBook Pros. Then it shipped a $599 laptop you can take apart in six minutes. The MacBook Neo teardown numbers are wild. Eight screws to open. Eighteen screws hold the battery, zero glue, zero tape. The USB-C ports, speakers, and headphone jack are all modular, meaning each one swaps individually. The speakers come out with four screws. An Australian repair channel disassembled most of the machine in under six minutes using standard Torx bits you can buy at any hardware store. For context, the 2019 MacBook Pro scored 2 out of 10 on iFixit’s repairability scale. The 16-inch Pro got a 1 out of 10. Soldered RAM, soldered storage, glued battery, proprietary pentalobe screws, keyboard riveted to the top case. Apple’s own Self Service Repair program required you to rent a 79-pound repair kit shipped in two Pelican cases just to swap a battery. The timing explains everything. The EU Right to Repair Directive takes effect July 31, 2026. Member states are transposing it into national law right now. Manufacturers must offer repair beyond warranty, provide spare parts within 5 to 10 working days for seven years, and publish repair manuals. In the US, over a quarter of Americans already live in states with enforceable Right to Repair laws. Oregon banned parts pairing. California’s act is in effect. Apple read the regulatory calendar and realized the cheapest laptop in the lineup would face the most scrutiny. Millions of students and first-time buyers will own it. The volume will be enormous. And regulators love consumer-protection cases involving the most affordable products in a company’s portfolio. So they built the Neo as the compliance flagship. Standard screws, modular ports, no adhesive, a battery that lifts out. Meanwhile the $1,099 MacBook Air still has soldered storage and a riveted keyboard. The $2,499 Pro still scores poorly on independent repairability scales. The $599 laptop is the most repairable MacBook in over a decade. Apple always knew how to build a repairable laptop. They just needed a reason that showed up on a regulatory deadline.
