FASTING FOR 72 HOURS IS THE BEST MEDICINE ON EARTH.
HERE'S HOW TO FAST CORRECTLY.
HERE'S HOW TO FAST CORRECTLY.
25 weird things that make you more likeable (scientifically):
1. Asking people about themselves instead of waiting for your turn to talk.
2. Remembering small details someone mentioned once and bringing it up later.
3. Being genuinely bad at something and laughing about it without shame.
4. Making eye contact without it feeling like a staring contest.

5. Saying someone's name in conversation. It sounds simple and it works every time.
6. Admitting when you don't know something instead of pretending.
7. Laughing at yourself before anyone else can. Takes all the power away.
8. Being the person who actually listens instead of just waiting to respond.

My dad gave me ₦50,000 when I got my first job.
Then he said:
"Give it to someone who will never pay you back."
I thought he was joking.
He wasn't.

He wasn't.
I had just started earning.
₦50,000 was a lot of money to me.
I already had plans for it.
New shoes.
Data.
A few things I had been postponing for months.

So when my dad said I should give it away, I was annoyed.
I asked him:
"Why would I give money to someone who won't pay me back?"
He looked at me and smiled.

1/ The Scottish Affairs Committee says it will write to the Electoral Commission to find out if public money was caught up in the Murrell embezzlement. I spent this morning reading the accounts. Here's what they actually show. 🧵
2/ The SNP Westminster Group files its own accounts separately at the Electoral Commission. Separate legal entity, separate bank account, separate signatories - the Westminster leader signs them off, not Murrell. His name doesn't appear anywhere in any set of accounts I reviewed
3/ Chkd the related party transaction notes , the section auditors specifically require to disclose any payments to connected persons. From 2015 -2023, the only related party entry is a small short-term loan FROM the Central Party TO the Westminster Group. Fully repaid. That's it

💀 The Quote That Says It All
“They told you to vote for Karen?”
“Yeah, had to sign a little thing.”
“And how much do they pay you?”
“Just like $2.”
“They do this for everybody out here?”
“Yeah, they come out here all the time.”
A homeless woman on Skid Row, voice steady, eyes direct, no hesitation. No coaching. No script. Just the truth spilling out onto the pavement where America’s largest city lets its most vulnerable rot — then harvests them like a crop every election cycle.

🎥 The Evidence
James O’Keefe and Cam Higby didn’t need a three-year investigation to find this. They just... went there. Walked the same streets Karen Bass claims to care about. Found the human beings she uses as ballot-filling machines, then discards them back into the tent cities her policies perpetuate.
The video — raw, unedited, devastating — shows exactly what California’s political machine has normalized:
- Canvassers targeting the homeless with pre-filled ballots
- Direct payment for votes — the literal definition of vote buying
- Systematic, repeated operations — “they come out here all the time.”
- Signature harvesting — “had to sign a little thing.”
This isn’t some rogue operation. This is infrastructure. This is how you win elections in a one-party state when your policies have produced the largest homeless crisis in American history: you pay the victims to re-elect their victimizers.

658 deep strikes Ukraine conducted against Russia in 2025. Twice the 2022–2024 total.

2026 pace: 800+ deep strikes. St Petersburg hit twice in one week in June — 800km from Ukraine's border.

Russia lost $18bn in fossil fuel revenue between June–December 2025. In the first four months of 2026 — 34% below what oil prices would normally generate.

BREAKING: Trump is impatient.
And fwiw, given the very restrained response to Iran downing a helicopter, the threat that Iran will "pay the price" if it doesn't make a deal doesn't really resonate.
Neither side has a real incentive to return to full-blown conflict.
Iran's appetite for risk is higher than Trump's, though as yesterday's exchange proved, Tehran is still able to show restraint (issuing a small response to the latest US strikes on Iranian territory).
A negotiated settlement is still the preferred outcome--the issue, of course, is that neither side is ready to back down on their demands.

We believe you should pause all hiring and contracting with foreign workers.
State funds should only be paid to state citizens.
Thanks to @VBierschwale and his data at guestworkervisas.com , we now know you are hiring people who are foreign workers when there are US citizens with the skills to do these jobs.

Please explain how a study measuring physical improvement in a Cognitive and Behavioral study can have unmeasured Graded Exercise Therapy - and be considered as well-controlled. Not confounded.
So, I emailed Dr. Ebell and asked how that was nitpicking.

I also agreed with the comments at the bottom of the study, linked below.
If you change analysis protocols post hoc? That's not nitpicking in my book. But maybe that is nitpicking?

Science is ALL about nitpicking. You ARE SUPPOSED to be very detailed, so you can be replicated, right? Alan is funny.
Anyway, amusing to spot the lobbying group for the Lightning Process on their advisory board.
Tch tch. Or is that nitpicking. ;) ?

🧵I vaguely agree with this. But the hypocrisy here is so intense it’s almost impossible to know where to begin. Remember, Ash and co responded to the death of one man (George Floyd) in another country by falsely and repeatedly seeking to paint the entirety of British and Western society as systemically racist, two-tiered in its treatment of ethnic minorities, deeply oppressive, and so on. So many instances to choose from here.
Here she is claiming there mere presence of white people in a room constitutes white supremacy. If that isn’t viewing things through a racialised lens, I struggle to see what is! But that’s just one example…

Here’s Ash during the BLM moral panic, holding forth on how Newtonian physics and the refraction of light relate to the structure of ‘whiteness.’ Now she’s furious that things are being ‘racialised’…
Here’s Ash, who is furious that
things are being viewed ‘through a racialised lens’, describing how she ‘needs’ rooms without any white people in them. Thought experiment: what would Ash say if a white person said they ‘needed’ rooms with no black people in them?
