I read through 72,000+ studies on creatine and pulled out the top 10 effects you've never heard of (THREAD):
1. the older you are, the more it sharpens your memory
1. the older you are, the more it sharpens your memory
A 2023 meta-analysis found creatine measurably improves memory in healthy people, and the effect was strongest in adults 66 to 76.
Your brain runs on the same energy system as your muscles, and 5g a day tops up the tank.

2. it rescues a sleep-deprived brain
In a 2024 study, a single high dose of creatine improved thinking and memory in people kept awake for 21 hours.
It refilled the brain's energy stores (ATP) during the exact window when sleep loss drains them.

Alt Meeting Minutes 6/25/26 Called to "order" 7:07pm Asked to approve minutes not from May which per Prez are "coming" but April. It takes two months to "ready" meeting minutes. Where are the May minutes coming from?
Started meeting relatively empty room. After 15 min woman & child showed up w/ food and spent I kid not 30 min rattling & crinkling plastic, unwrapping and shifting ?cookies into bags. All making more difficult to hear. This is the famous "refreshments"
"Refreshments" were 30 or so plastic clamshell containers of green salad stack on back table. At 8:20 Prez: "look at that spread" = stack of boxes of lettuce. Who didn't come to the meeting to eat? To eat iceberg lettuce at 8:30pm? Fooling no one
The risk to die depends on temperature. There is a temperature where it is lowest. It increases sharply toward the right (hot extremes) and more gently for colder days (left).
It’s the basis of “more people die from cold than heat”!
But what’s behind it? thelancet.com/journals/lanpl…
It’s the basis of “more people die from cold than heat”!
But what’s behind it? thelancet.com/journals/lanpl…
More people die “from cold” simply because there’s a lot more days below the optimal temperature than above. These are concentrated in the winter months (surprise!), and mortality is higher in winter. But that has many reasons other than temperature. nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…
E.g. less sunshine hence lower vitamin D levels, more virus infections (flu), more air pollution, behavioral changes (food, drink, less time spent indoors, less exercise). Even in warm Honolulu 10-15 % more people die in winter.
So does #globalwarming reduce mortality?

The European Court of Human Rights has declared inadmissible a challenge brought by a trans man who was registered as the mother of a child, despite having a Gender Recognition Certificate in the male gender.
The Court noted that the right to gender recognition may need to be balanced against the rights of others, here the right of a child to know the details of their parentage.
The Court was clear that, where a balance needs to be struck between the right to gender recognition and the rights of others, a wide margin of appreciation (discretion) is afforded to member states [16]-[18]
1/ So, I fell down a rabbit hole this week
On 27 March 2019, India fired a missile that hit one of its own satellites, landed within 10 cm of centre
Only three other countries had ever done it

2/ To understand the why, you have to go back to 11 January 2007
China had just launched a SC-19, a modified DF-21 missile, and destroyed its own Fengyun-1C weather satellite at 865 km altitude
It was the worst debris event in history, over 3,000 trackable fragments that will persist for decades, but the strategic message to New Delhi was unmistakable
The enemy to the east was posturing

3/ That mattered enormously because India had become deeply dependent on space

A credible Chinese counterspace capability meant all of it was now potentially targetable in a conflict

You lost 40 lbs on Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound.
Now you wish to stop it.

The research is clear.
Within 12 months of stopping a GLP-1, most patients regain 60-70% of the weight.
Within 2 years, the majority return to their baseline.
This is the expected outcome when the drug stops and nothing replaces it.

Here is why it happens.
The drug suppressed your appetite. Slowed your gastric emptying. Quieted the food noise.
However, the moment the drug leaves your system, the hunger comes back. The cravings come back. The weight follows.
The drug never taught you how to eat.

Unimech and Engineering both look like aerospace precision manufacturing plays.
But under the hood, they are very different businesses.
Revenue mix, order book strength, customer stickiness, margins, capex cycle, and growth visibility - everything tells a different story.

1/8 The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas published the most rigorous study ever done on unauthorized immigration's economic impact.
The findings are devastating — and the mainstream press buried them.

2/8 Between 2021–2024, 7 million unauthorized immigrants entered the U.S.
That's 1.75M per year — nearly DOUBLE the rate of legal immigration.
The prior decade average? Essentially zero.
This was not gradual. It was a shock.

3/8 For every 1% increase in unauthorized immigrant workers in a local market:
🏠 Home prices: +2.2%
🏢 Rents: +1.4%
💰 Wages: -0.87%
All three. Simultaneously. Causally established.

🇩🇿🇦🇹 Why is Algeria v. Austria the biggest grudge match of the 2026 World Cup? Why might both teams benefit from losing? And why did FIFA change the tournament rules the last time they were in a group together in 1982?

1/8 - The permutations 📊
With Argentina confirmed as group winners and Jordan eliminated due to the new H2H rule, second & third are the only positions that can change in Group J.
Both Austria & Algeria have three points and are separated only by virtue of goal difference: Austria are second with 0, Algeria are third with -2. That means the group will stay the same unless Algeria win.

2/8 - The twist ↩️
The thing is that both teams might actually benefit from losing - or, in Algeria's case, not winning.
The fact that this game is in the final match slot of the group phase means they will know which opponent awaits in the next round. The runner-up is likely to get a trickier tie against Spain, while the third-placed team is set to face Switzerland as it stands.
