A Polish engineer, Tomasz Patan, built the Volonaut Airbike, basically a real-life Star Wars speeder bike. Reaches up to 124 mph. Insane

China fields a military where 70-80% of soldiers are only children. Every battlefield death risks extinguishing a family line. This demographic reality shapes Xi's strategic calculus in ways Western analysis should pay more attention to. My new piece explores this. 1/5 🧵mickryan.substack.com/p/one-child-on…

This is downright frightening.

"The IDF killed a Palestinian medic!!!" The medic:

I just finished an interview with Brad from Across Nigeria… and honestly, I’m sitting here stunned. Today, he buried 14 Christians in a mass grave. Two were infants. One was a 4-year-old child. And this isn’t some recycled internet story or political talking point. Brad was literally there today helping bury them. While on the way to investigate one attack, another Christian community was attacked. He said the violence is happening so fast they can barely keep up anymore. What shocked me even more is this: Brad shared that 72% of all Christians killed worldwide last year were killed in this region of Nigeria. 72%. And hardly anybody is talking about it. The mainstream media should be all over this. Instead, most people scrolling social media today have no idea our brothers and sisters in Christ are being slaughtered while churches are being forced underground. Guys… this matters. Please watch this interview. Please pray for these families. And PLEASE share this everywhere you can. At this point, WE are the media. WE are how people find out. WE are the distribution network. If enough ordinary people start sharing the truth, eventually the world will have to pay attention. Watch the full conversation and help us get this story out.

This is the ultimate midwit healthcare take. No, 32 countries have not “figured out” universal healthcare. The UK has “free” healthcare, and roughly 1 in 3 cancer patients in England still fail to start treatment within 62 days of urgent referral. Canada has “free” healthcare, and the median wait for neurosurgical treatment is around a year. Australia has “free” healthcare, and over half the country still buys private insurance despite paying for a public universal system with their taxes. Switzerland has universal coverage, because residents are required to buy private insurance. There is no government system where benevolent bureaucrats tuck you in at night with a warm blanket and an MRI appointment. The actual lesson from other wealthy countries is not “they figured it out.” America’s system has huge problems. Our prices are insane, insurance markets are distorted, and hospital systems are cartelized. Our regulations make care more expensive than it needs to be. Yet we still guarantee access to even the 8% who don’t have coverage. We give easy routes to qualify for medicaid for those with disabilities. Pretending the rest of the world solved healthcare because they slapped the word “universal” on a rationing scheme is not analysis. It is bumper sticker policy for people who think access means having a card in your wallet while you wait a year to see the doctor you need.

Ok… most of you know I was in the organic baby formula business, but what you don’t know is I dabbled in diapers as well. I also know this baby2baby “non profit” and have had past interactions with them.. I’ll leave that out for now.. Let’s dive into this absolute grifting nonsense. Prepare to be shocked. California is about to spend $20 million of taxpayer money to give 100,000 newborns 400 diapers each through Baby2Baby. Do the math with me: 100,000 babies × 400 diapers = 40 million diapers $20,000,000 ÷ 40,000,000 = $0.50 per diaper!!!!! Now walk into any Costco in California and you can buy the same quality diapers for .12 to .15 cents each! That’s $48 to $60 for 400 diapers. So the state is paying 8–10x more per diaper than a regular family buying in bulk. They could’ve just handed every low-income new mom $100 cash and told her to go to Costco. She’d get more diapers, better ones if she wanted, and still have money left for formula, wipes, or whatever the hell she actually needs. But nah… that wouldn’t let Gavin and his connected “nonprofit” girls running the show there cut ribbons, take photos, do galas and be friends with celebrities and brag about the “first-in-the-nation” program while skimming their cut for “administration” and “partnerships.” This is peak government stupidity!!! Spend way more money to feel good and look good, instead of just trusting parents with their own damn money. We’re not helping babies. We’re funding another bloated nonprofit-government grift. Math doesn’t lie. The diaper math is brutal. What a scam and a joke!!!!!

This is Robert Morris, the richest man in America in 1776. He literally bankrupted himself usinf his vast personal fortunate, shipping fleet, and fiscal acumen to pay for the American Revolution. AOC is stupid.

The Tennessee house needs to do something serious about State Rep Justin Pearson... yelling DISRESPECTFULLY in the face of a STATE TROOPER "boy!" And "stupid motherfucker". Things that if said by a WHITE state Rep to ANYBODY, they'd be branded a racist and stripped of everything. Probably even banned from the State house... What yall gone do "supermajority"?

A woman published Stephen Miller's home address. The stated goal was to put a target on a sitting White House official and his family. The Democratic DA in Arlington just announced she won't prosecute. Her reason? It might have a "chilling effect on political protest." In other words — doxxing Trump officials is now protected speech. Remember that next time they lecture you about democracy. 🇺🇸

The Sao Lazaro Cross in Portugal was built in 1386 and stood intact for centuries. Until it was destroyed by Pakistani migrants!

Im perimenopausal. I create my own extreme heat.

@DavidJHarrisJr I’m perimenopausal. I create my own extra heat.

Hillary Clinton: "Women are being disproportionately affected by extreme heat caused by climate change." Thoughts?

@Variety Why the presser? She can’t just show up at an event with a girlfriend? Is she not getting enough attention? Is that what this is about?

Hayden Panettiere comes out as bisexual at 36 years old and says she previously feared "public opinion" in Hollywood and "what my team was going to think about it." “No one ever encouraged me to just be myself, and there was a period of time where it felt like people coming out, especially women coming out, was a fad,” Panettiere told US Weekly, noting she was “afraid” that she’d appear like she was “jumping on the bandwagon” if she were to come out as bisexual. “It was just never the right time, and it was a very difficult topic to articulate properly… it’s sad that I had to wait till I was 36 years old to share that part of me, but better late than never, right?... It was always scary, because my life, I mean, there were paparazzi always outside, waiting for me outside, to follow me everywhere. I had very little privacy, and I mean, I have dated women. It started at a very, very young age.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

Absolutely horrific story out of North Carolina… Isabella Mary Alexander Stroupe, 19, was brutally R*PED and M*RDERED The suspect? Thomaz Hamilton, a career criminal with a history of arrests. We shouldn’t have to live like this! Why does this keep happening??? Will the media cover this story??

Former software engineer at Apple is whistleblowing She says whenever Apple launches a new phone, they would push an update to older iPhones with malware to slow them down. This pushes people to upgrade “I used to be a software engineer at Apple, and with every new phone that was released, malware was installed on the older phones to make you have to update, so your phone's not just glitching. It's doing that on purpose. Share before it's deleted” She’s telling the truth, this was proven in court The 2017 “Batterygate” scandal, where Apple was caught deliberately slowing down older iPhones through software updates Apple was caught red handed doing this they even admitted it in court Apple released iOS updates that intentionally throttled and reduced CPU performance. This caused phones to feel slower, glitchy and laggy Apple’s stated reason: To prevent unexpected shutdowns caused by aging lithium-ion batteries
