#Bitcoin is the most direct expression of money that has ever existed. It converts energy and time into money which is exactly what money represents in the first place. 🧐 Long $BTC and short the bankers.

@SamaHoole Is there any way to speed this up?

Here's the thing nobody mentions about seed oils. You stop eating them tomorrow. Brilliant. You've done the work. You've thrown out the rapeseed oil, you've stopped ordering the chips, you've made peace with the awkward conversation at the restaurant. You're not out of the woods. Linoleic acid has a half-life in your fat tissue of approximately 680 days. Not 680 hours. Not 680 minutes. Days. Roughly two years for half of what you've already stored to be metabolised out. In the meantime, it sits there. In adipose tissue. In the phospholipid bilayer of every cell membrane you own. In the cardiolipin of your mitochondria, the membrane your energy production depends on. Sitting. Waiting. Polyunsaturated fats have two or more double bonds. Double bonds are weak points. Weak points oxidise. When they oxidise, they produce 4-hydroxynonenal and a small library of related aldehydes that adduct to proteins, damage DNA, and trigger the inflammatory cascade your body spends most of its energy trying to suppress. The fat in your love handles is not inert. It is a slow-burning fuse made of stored seed oil from every chip shop dinner and supermarket dressing of the last decade, waiting for the next oxidative spark to set it off. The spark is a virus. A drink. A bad night's sleep. A workout. A stressful Tuesday. Adipose linoleic acid in the average modern person has increased 136% over the last fifty years. You are walking around with kindling under your skin. Quitting the oils is the start, not the finish. It is a two-year project of letting your body slowly metabolise out a decade of stored damage, replacing fragile membranes with stable ones, and rebuilding the tissue you live in from a different substance. You begin today. You finish in 2028.

@ginacarano Looking incredible - great job.

Ok. Vulnerable post but here we are. I just weighed in at 141.4 lbs. Since Sept 2024 to today, May 15, 2026, I have lost 100lbs. It hurts to say that and share but I am going to share it because I worked so damn hard every week for over a year and a half to shed this weight. It did not happen overnight. If it wasn’t for having this incredibly challenging goal in fighting @rondarousey I most definitely wouldn’t have reached this. I was pre-diabetic, had trouble simply walking in September 2024 and have been on the path to recovery to turn myself back into an athlete since then. It was hard, SO damn hard.. there was so much to learn, too much to unpack here, ups, downs, plateaus, things I learned late I wish I learned earlier, trial by error but I did it. Thank you to Ronda, who waited patiently while I lost this weight and giving me something to aim for. There is still so much I need to learn and want to do in the health space and to continue transforming my body, but for today, I thank God, my husband and my family for sticking with and encouraging me the whole way. I pray this encourages you wherever you are in your health journey. Believe there is hope. Never give up. Ok.. enough emo, I’ve got a fight tomorrow. We’ve worked so hard to get here. Tune in!! @netflixsports @netflix @MostVpromotions

Women need to stop acting like sexual rejection inside marriage is some harmless inconvenience a good man should just silently absorb forever. It breaks his spirit, damages the bond, and teaches him that the deepest part of him is unwelcome in his own home. That is not a small issue. That is marital negligence.

Remember just a couple years ago when using electricity and diesel caused climate change, now data centers use as much power as cities and its no problem

A Russian biophysicist spent 30 years proving that shining red light on a cell could double its energy, and almost nobody believed her until a tech billionaire named Bryan Johnson made her work the most searched biohack on the internet. Her name was Tiina Karu. She worked in a Moscow lab through the 1980s and 1990s, and the discovery she defended for decades sat in journals nobody read while the rest of medicine ignored her. The whole thing started by accident. In 1967, a Hungarian doctor named Endre Mester was trying to use a new device called a laser to burn tumors out of mice. His laser was broken. It did not have enough power to burn anything. He used it anyway. The mice grew their hair back faster than the control group. Their wounds healed faster too. He had no idea why. Tiina Karu picked up his work and asked the question that mattered. Why does this happen. She ran experiments for 20 years. Different wavelengths. Different doses. Measuring what happens inside the cell when red light hits it. The answer she landed on was almost too specific to be true. The thing in your body that responds to red light is one enzyme. Cytochrome c oxidase. It sits inside your mitochondria. Mitochondria are the part of your cell that makes energy. They take oxygen and food and turn it into a molecule called ATP, which is the fuel your cells run on. Your body makes 40 to 70 kilograms of ATP every single day just to keep you alive. If your mitochondria slow down, you age faster, heal slower, lose hair, lose muscle, and get inflamed easier. Cytochrome c oxidase does most of the work. It contains copper and iron atoms. Those atoms happen to absorb light at very specific colors. Red light at 630 to 670 nanometers. Near-infrared light at 810 to 850 nanometers. Other colors do almost nothing. Blue does not work. Green does not work. The biology is locked to those two windows because that is what the metal inside the enzyme can physically catch. When a red photon hits that enzyme, three things happen. The enzyme runs faster. ATP production jumps 30 to 40% within minutes. Nitric oxide gets released. Blood vessels widen. More oxygen and nutrients flow in. A small stress signal goes off inside the cell that tells it to repair itself. The same signal it gets after exercise. Red light is not adding anything to the cell. It is just unlocking work the cell was already trying to do. For 30 years almost nobody outside her field cared. Red light therapy lived inside dental clinics for mouth ulcers and physical therapy offices for tendonitis. Medical schools did not teach it. The science sat in obscure journals. Then the evidence started piling up. A 2024 review of 18 trials confirmed red light speeds up wound healing. Another 2024 review found it lowered inflammation markers by 38% over 4 weeks. Athletes using red light before training had 45% less muscle soreness the next day. Seven separate trials on hair loss showed visible regrowth in every single one. A 2024 study found 15 minutes of red light before a meal cut blood sugar spikes by 27.7%. In March 2026, Nature published a 4,000 word feature on red light therapy. The most respected scientific journal on Earth officially admitted there was real biology under the hype. That was the moment the field crossed from fringe to mainstream. Bryan Johnson is the reason the average person now knows any of this exists. He uses a red light cap on his scalp for 6 minutes daily and a full-body panel three times a week. He posted his hair regrowth photos and his skin scans, and the algorithm did the rest. Red light masks went from biohacker forums to Sephora shelves in two years. Tiina Karu died in 2019. She did not live to see Nature validate her. She did not live to see a billionaire turn the enzyme she identified into a billion dollar industry. Every red light mask, panel, cap, and bed on the planet right now is just a way to deliver the photons she proved mattered. The wavelengths were always there. The enzyme was always there. The biology was always real. It just took a Hungarian doctor with a broken laser, a Russian scientist nobody listened to, and one tech billionaire willing to stand in front of a glowing panel for the world to finally pay attention.

@anishmoonka Basically Inception but tragic

A 19-year-old in France went into a coma for 3 weeks. To her, it lasted 7 years. She gave birth to triplets, named them, and lost one shortly after birth. She woke up and asked the nurses where her children were. Doctors see this often in intensive care. They call it ICU delirium, and it hits about 37% of patients there. For people on a breathing machine for weeks, the rate climbs to nearly 9 in 10. The drugs that keep ICU patients unconscious push down the deepest sleep stages, where the brain normally files away the day. When the drugs ease off, all that suppressed dreaming floods back at once. Meanwhile, the brain stops double-checking reality. So the brain just builds, stacking vivid detail on vivid detail. Half an hour of dream time can feel like a whole year of life. The grief follows her out of the coma. The brain regions that handle emotional pain are the same ones that hurt when you lose someone in waking life. Memories don’t come with a “this was real” tag. So the love a mother feels for children who never existed lives in the same place as the love for kids who did. Grief counselors handle these losses the way they would the death of an actual child, because to the brain, they are the same. A novelist named Caroline Leavitt wrote about her own coma for Psychology Today in 2021. She said waking up felt like being “pulled violently” from one world to another. Drug-induced comas like hers leave the brain active enough to dream. In trauma comas, the brain mostly goes dark. In Rick and Morty there’s an arcade game called Roy where you live a whole life in an afternoon. The brain runs the same game on its own. All it needs is a breathing machine and 3 weeks.

Okay folks, this qualifies as BREAKING NEWS! Harold “Sonny” White, the warp drive pioneer behind NASA’s EagleWorks Lab, just stepped out of stealth with Casimir Inc. to unveil MicroSPARC: the first battery free chip to harvest continuous electrical power straight from the quantum vacuum via the Casimir force. The 5 mm × 5 mm device uses millions of custom microscale Casimir cavities fabricated on a substrate. Inside each cavity, two fixed conductive walls create a region of negative vacuum pressure (the well known Casimir effect). Stationary micropillars anchored in the middle act as antennas. Electrons from the cavity walls then quantum tunnel to the pillars because the interior is a lower energy “quieter” zone — and the probability of tunneling back is orders of magnitude lower. This one way “quantum ratchet” flow generates a measurable DC current with no external power source or moving parts. Prototypes already fabricated at university nanofab facilities (Texas A&M AggieFab, MIT.nano) have been tested in RF-shielded, low noise chambers for weeks. The team reports outputs ranging from millivolts to volts at picoamp to microamp levels using precision electrometers and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. Target performance for the first commercial chip: ~1.5 V at 25 µA (≈40 µW continuous). Stacking and scaling could reach milliwatts or even watts per device. Initial applications are ultra low power: always on IoT sensors, wearables, and medical implants. Longer term roadmap includes trickle charging phones, powering small electronics, and eventually grid independent homes or EVs. Commercialization is targeted for 2028, starting at ~$100/W before dropping toward $10/W. White ties the work directly to his earlier theoretical paper on emergent quantization from a dynamic vacuum and sees it as a practical power source for the deep-space missions he’s long championed. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and independent scientists have so far declined public comment. But if the engineering scales as hoped, MicroSPARC would represent a genuine paradigm shift: continuous, maintenance free power drawn from the fabric of spacetime itself. A bold leap from warp-drive theory into real hardware. Progress (and vacuum-powered chips) marches on. Photo: MicroSPARC | Casimir Inc. Source: thedebrief.org/free-energy-fr…

@jaaayLENo Uh pain and suffering happen in life, so forgiveness is always key. But yes you should be able to trust your partner to walk the journey with you.

I hate the idea that you have to endure pain and suffering to be with someone for a long time. I really rebuke that narrative.

BIG FOOD IS QUIETLY BUYING UP YOUR “HEALTHY” FAVORITES — AND CHANGING THEM BEHIND YOUR BACK You thought you were choosing better with those “clean,” grain-free, organic, gut-healthy brands? Think again. The same giants pushing ultra-processed junk are snapping them up... then slowly swapping real ingredients for cheaper crap while keeping the “healthy” packaging. Here’s the latest hit list (2026): PepsiCo 🔥 • Siete Foods (grain-free tortillas & chips) — $1.2 BILLION in 2025 • Poppi (prebiotic soda) — $1.95 BILLION in 2025 • Naked Juice • Stacy’s Pita Chips • Bare Snacks General Mills • Annie’s Homegrown • LARABAR • Cascadian Farm • Muir Glen Kellogg’s / Ferrero / Mars • Kashi • RXBAR • Bear Naked • Morningstar Farms Nestlé • Vital Proteins (collagen) • Sweet Earth • Garden of Life More Sell-Outs: • Simple Mills — Flowers Foods 2025 • LesserEvil — Hershey • Honest Tea — Coca-Cola • Applegate Farms — Hormel • Burt’s Bees — Clorox • SkinnyPop — Hershey • Hu Chocolate — Mondelēz • Bolthouse Farms — Campbell • Earthbound Farm — Danone The pattern is always the same: 1. Indie brand builds trust with clean ingredients. 2. Big Food buys it. 3. Formula gets “optimized” (seed oils, added sugars, fillers). 4. You keep buying because the name looks the same. They’re banking on you NOT reading the fine print. Wake up. Flip every label. Support brands that are STILL independent. Who got burned by a former favorite? Drop the brand + what changed 👇

God, I shouldn't do this. But I'm gonna. Force Awakens should have been about Finn protecting Rey while she searches for Luke. It should have ended with both Finn and Rey on Luke's island. Last Jedi should have begun with Luke accepting Rey as his student and then, as Finn, turns to leave, telling Finn he is force sensitive as well. It turns out, the reason Finn was able to overcome his Stormtrooper conditioning is because he was able to feel the pain and death of his victims through the Force, unlike all his brother Stormtroopers. When their training is complete, Luke gives them both kyber crystals to make lightsabers out of. He gives Rey a blue crystal, designating her a Sentinel, a Jedi warrior. He gives Finn a green crystal, designating him a Counselor, a Jedi dedicated to wisdom and diplomacy over violence. There is no "last Jedi". That's the twist. That's the subversion of expectations. And that makes Finn integral to the series instead of a side character.

@SaiKate108 Hope he's right.

Dr Drew absolutely loses it over the Hantavirus hype !! ‘It’s not a respiratory virus. Stop it. Stop it now….its been around a long time’ One has a greater chance of being struck by lightening. We are not doing this again.

Decred is so far ahead of the crypto field it's not even funny anymore. When the space starts talking seriously about permissionless governance they'll start closing the gap.

We aren’t just getting shorted in product weight on food This is a 100 pack of screws from Home Depot “I just counted them — I dumped 'em out. 73, there's 73 screws in here” Missing 1 or 2 is an error. Missing 27% of the product is fraud Americans are being robbed blind

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device. > No consent dialog. No opt-out UI. Re-installs itself if the user removes it manually. That is the true definition of malware.

Men admire in women masculine virtues (self-accountability, logic, composure, self-command) expressed through feminine embodiment - not as an imitation of man, but as a refinement of character. Women admire in men feminine virtues (empathy, tenderness, intuition, receptivity) expressed through masculine embodiment - not as softness without toughness, but as completeness. So each sex seeks the best of its own principle integrated in the opposite, their natural polarity preserved but elevated. Men and women are thus seeking the best of themselves in their opposite in stable contrast - a marriage within so there can be a marriage between - recursive union - what beauty!

The AI bubble will collapse. Here’s the cascade and what survives. (Claude wrote this for me based on my thoughts) OpenAI burns $9B cash on $13B revenue. Their own projections show $143B in cumulative losses before profitability. They’re selling dollars for 70 cents at scale. The more they sell, the more they lose. The collapse sequence is simple: frontier labs fail → GPU cloud middlemen (who borrowed billions at peak prices) get crushed → hyperscalers cut capex → NVIDIA cycles down. Each step accelerates the next. The people who lived through 2001 see it. But being early is indistinguishable from being wrong — for years. The last skeptic will capitulate right before the crash. That’s how every bubble ends. Here’s what’s different: the technology is real. Fiber was real in 2000 too. It just needed a decade of bankruptcies before the economics worked. So what survives? Local models. Delivered by Apple. Their playbook never changes — let the industry burn capital on half-baked implementations, then arrive late with something so integrated it makes everything before it look like a prototype. The entire AI industry is currently doing Apple’s R&D for them. At $143B in projected losses. With no compensation. The M5 already runs 70B parameter models locally. DeepSeek V4 dropped this week — open source, near-frontier performance, no NVIDIA hardware required. The gap between local and cloud closes from both directions simultaneously. The killer move: your iPhone tunnels home to your Mac over an encrypted connection. Your Mac becomes your personal AI server. Your data never touches a corporate server. Ever. Apple doesn’t compete with OpenAI. They make them irrelevant. Jensen knows this. He just can’t say it.
