MrBeast reveals he wants to buy a professional League of Legends team “I love League of Legends. When I was like 14 I wanted to be a pro League player, I used to look up to Faker and all the top players” “It’d be awesome to buy an LCS team, pour tons of money into it, spoil the players and try make a run for Worlds, that’d be amazing” “You know how rich people buy like NBA and football teams? This would be my version of that"


this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

Sacramento works great for the special interests, but not very well for the rest of us. The average family doesn't have a lobbyist. That's why we need a champion as governor.

Something fascinating is happening in education right now. I recently went down a rabbit hole researching homeschooling, and the data is fascinating. Research from the National Home Education Research Institute shows homeschool students typically score 15–25 percentile points higher on standardized tests, and about 78% of peer-reviewed studies show homeschool students outperforming traditional school students academically. But what really surprised me was seeing it firsthand. I recently ran a financial literacy course through Classical Learner, and I was blown away by the students. One 14 year old was running a business with nine employees. And I began teaching a 9 year old the Buy Borrow Die strategy. Can you imagine learning a strategy used by billionaire families to build wealth… at age nine? What I saw with these homeschool students is that they weren’t memorizing facts for a test. They were thinking, building, and solving real problems. This ties directly into neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself during childhood based on experience and learning environments. Research from Harvard University, Stanford University, and MIT shows that learning environments focused on problem solving and curiosity produce stronger long-term outcomes than education built primarily around memorization. Which leads to a simple observation. Students raised in environments that encourage independent thinking, entrepreneurship, and curiosity develop skills that compound over time. And that creates a massive competitive advantage for life. The great news for America is that roughly 7.8% of American children are now being homeschooled, and that number continues to rise as families look for education that prioritizes curiosity, entrepreneurship, and independent thinking.

LA City Charter Commission moves to abolish City Controller's office amid MASSIVE fraud scandals. The move would eliminate the City watchdog and appoint a CFO overseen by Mayor Karen Bass. Seems a wee-bit sketchy... @CaliforniaGlobe link 👇
