Christian teaching: Love your enemy
Secular distortion: Open borders / no distinction between citizen, stranger, invader, refugee, criminal & neighbour
What gets lost: Christian love does not erase prudence, justice, household duty/state’s duty to protect the innocent

Christian teaching: Judge not
Secular distortion: Never make moral judgements
What gets lost: Christ forbids hypocritical condemnation. This is not the same as moral discernment. Christianity still requires distinguishing good from evil

You can literally clean out your brain by doing this.
It accumulates waste that makes you tired and ends up giving you dementia.
Luckily, these 7 techniques enhance its clearance to help keep your mind sharp.
#1 Sleeping on your side

#1 Sleeping on your side
Side sleeping helps by:
◇ Allowing gravity to help move cerebrospinal fluid
◇ Reducing intracranial pressure
◇ Improving blood flow through the neck and head
This stimulates the clearance of the glymphatic system

#2 Nasal breathing
Nasal breathing encourages the retention of carbon dioxide, and lowers the sympathetic (fight or flight) stress system.
Both of these improve blood flow & oxygen delivery to the brain, which supports glymphatic clearance.

The classic top left helicopter is back,
But this time it’s weaponised!
The helicopter shown is the Sea Sparrow.

Jason and Lucia don’t have their own slots on the cover. They appear together.
To me, it represents how intertwined they are.
The interactions between these two are going to be legendary.
Lucia’s gun (Nipper38) also says made in Brazil.
She also has a random scratch on her arm.

Foreign reserves are like a country's savings account in foreign currencies. The higher the reserves, the stronger the country's ability to handle economic challenges.
benefits are:
1. Supports the naira and helps reduce exchange rate pressure.
2. Pays for imports such as fuel, machinery, medicine, and food when needed.
3. Boosts investor confidence, encouraging foreign investment.

1/ The hot debate of the moment among Russian commentators is whether and how Russia will begin "fighting for real". Russia's former president openly calls for war crimes while others advocate striking the West, destroying Kyiv, killing Zelenskyy, and nuking Starlink. ⬇️
2/ Former Russian president and current Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev says on his channel on the Russian 'state messenger app' MAX that the laws of war no longer apply after Ukraine's drone attack on the Moscow Oil Refinery.
3/ "Given the enemy's massive terrorist attacks on our cities, the intensity of which is growing and will obviously continue to grow, it is time to openly declare that there are no longer, and cannot be, any rules regarding neo-Nazi Kyiv," he writes.
10 Signs Someone Is Upper Class—but Hiding It:
The loudest person in the room is often trying to prove something. The truly upper class usually reveal themselves through habits, standards, and ease—not logos.

1. They never seem impressed by expensive things:
- Luxury does not excite them because it is familiar.
- A five-star hotel, business-class flight, rare watch, or private club does not change their behaviour. They neither stare nor rush to photograph everything.
- New money notices the price.
- Old comfort notices whether the service is good.

2. Their clothes are quiet but unusually well-fitted:
- They may wear a plain shirt, simple trousers, or an old jacket—but everything sits correctly.
- No oversized logos. No desperate trend-following. No outfit designed to announce its cost.
- The fabric, fit, shoes, and maintenance reveal more than the brand.
- They dress to belong anywhere, not to dominate every room.

1/ The 2012 Tavistock patient survey showed 80-90% of the teenagers there were same sex attracted. Something like 30% were on the autism spectrum. Staff at the Tavistock had a dark joke "soon there will be no gay people left". Senior leadership resigned because Mermaids ran riot
2/ This is the real gay conversion therapy and it's the real drive to sterilise the autistic. In Hannah Barnes ground-breaking work "Time to think" she set out how ideology came first at the Tavistock and children were collateral damage. Now the government wants to repeat this.
3/ "Puberty blocker" is a grotesque euphemism for chemical castration agents that have in the past been given to sex offenders. They are serious drugs that cause serious harm and 90% of kids on PBs progress to cross sex hormones rendering them infertile.
NEVER date or marry a woman until she passes these 5 tests. Test 3 and 4 are VERY important. The first test is:
Anger. The real her isn't when she's all happy with you, the real her is when she is angry because it will reveal who she truly is as a person. If she: insults, embarrass, humiliate, threaten, scream or expose private things, that is a toxic woman and you should leave her alone.
Peace. Ask yourself this question, are you more peaceful with her or without her? Never underestimate the power at which a woman can ruin you mentally. Your peace should be your number one priority regardless of if you love her because without peace, you will hate your life.
A Japanese broccoli farmer with zero coding experience just automated his entire 100-hectare farm using ChatGPT.
No engineers. No expensive machinery. No technical background.
Here is everything he built and how 🧵
No engineers. No expensive machinery. No technical background.
Here is everything he built and how 🧵
His name is Hiroki Tomiyasu. He farms 100 hectares in Hokkaido, Japan broccoli, pumpkins, green onions, and soybeans.
He did not inherit land. He did not study agriculture. He spent his early career as a public servant before teaching himself to farm on restored abandoned farmland.
He also had no engineering background. None.
Then he opened ChatGPT and Codex and started building.

His first build: an automated system for greenhouse vents that open and close on their own based on temperature.
No more walking out to adjust them by hand. On a 100-hectare farm, that is hours of repetitive labor eliminated every single day.
His description of working with AI: "It feels like having an ultra-talented engineer always by your side."

WHY EVEN TINY REJECTIONS FEEL LIKE PHYSICAL PAIN FOR ADHD BRAINS (IT'S NEUROLOGICAL) 🧵
When someone rejects you or criticizes you, you feel physical pain. Chest tightness, nausea, body ache.
This isn't fake. Your brain is truly processing rejection as real hurt.
Why it feels physical:
Your anterior insula (pain processing center) fires during social rejection
ADHD brains have stronger reaction in this region
Rejection doesn't just feel bad emotionally. It triggers real hurt signals.

Rejection doesn't just feel bad emotionally. It triggers real hurt signals.
The neurological reality:
Your brain handles social rejection like physical injury
The pain is real, not made up
Your nervous system responds as if you've been actually hurt.
Why this matters for your life:
You skip situations where rejection might happen (self-sabotage)
You take neutral feedback as rejection (RSD)
You can't heal from criticism quickly (pain takes time to fade)
This changes your entire social and professional life.

Tony Buzan invented a single technique that millions now use to remember almost anything.
"Use Your Head" revealed 10 ways to map information the way the brain actually stores it.
1) Your notes should look like a tree, not a list
"Use Your Head" revealed 10 ways to map information the way the brain actually stores it.
1) Your notes should look like a tree, not a list
Every note-taking system ever taught in school works against the brain.
Linear notes. Numbered lists. Bullet points running top to bottom down a page.
Buzan spent years studying how the brain actually stores information and found that it stores nothing in a straight line.
It stores everything in a web. Ideas branching from ideas. Connections running in every direction simultaneously.
A list forces the brain to work against its own architecture.
A mind map works with it.

2) Start from the center, not the top
Every mind map begins with one image or word placed in the middle of a blank page.
Not at the top left corner where a list begins.
The center.
Buzan's reason was precise. The brain radiates associations outward in every direction from a central idea. Starting at the top corner of a page forces thinking into one direction only.
Starting from the center opens 360 degrees of association.
The page becomes a brain, not a document.
