At 19 I had a psychotic break at UC Berkeley. Hardly slept for two weeks. Thought I was the messiah. Ended up in the psych ward.
4 hospitalizations. 5 meds. My psychiatrist told me I was treatment-resistant.
He was wrong. Here are the metabolic strategies that healed me. 🧵

He was wrong. Here are the metabolic strategies that healed me. 🧵
Strategy 1: Ketogenic / Carnivore diet
Your brain can become insulin resistant. When that happens, neurons can't fire properly, and you get psychiatric symptoms.
Ketones bypass the broken insulin pathway and fuel your neurons directly. The brain actually prefers them over glucose.
I went keto January 4th, 2021. My manic episodes stopped. Not reduced. Stopped. I've since switched to carnivore and feel even better.

Strategy 2: Sleep
Every night of sleep deprivation spikes cortisol. Cortisol raises blood glucose. Raised blood glucose accelerates insulin resistance.
So bad sleep directly worsens the metabolic problem driving your psychiatric symptoms. It's not a soft recommendation. It's biochemistry.
The manic season is spring because the days get longer and sleep gets disrupted. I've lived this. Sleep is medicine.

[1/5] Supremacists and bullies often speak the loudest.
But what if that noise is not strength - just a signal of insecurity?
Let’s take a closer look. 🧵
A thread worth your attention, because beneath the noise lie patterns that science has been quietly decoding.

A substantial body of social and behavioural science suggests that dominance-driven hostility frequently emerges from fragile self-concepts.
Individuals who feel uncertain about their own worth seek validation by elevating their in-group while demeaning others (suggest reading about Social Identity Theory (?)).
Similarly, the concept of "compensatory narcissism" describes how exaggerated displays of superiority can mask underlying vulnerability, self-doubt, or perceived inadequacy.
In this light, bullying is less about power and more about overcompensation.

This is why such behaviour often appears performative - even “cringe.”
It is not grounded confidence but a projection.
A defence mechanism attempting to conceal internal instability.
Empirical studies on aggression and prejudice consistently show links to threat perception, low self-esteem, and cognitive rigidity - not genuine strength (Ostrowsky, 2010).

I just read the new Haaretz article about how Israeli planted pines are suddenly dying en masse and it is absolutely worth dissecting. Here are a summary & my observations as a Palestinian scholar who writes on green colonialism. 1/
Israel boasts about having planted 250 million trees since its founding. 90% of those trees are not Indigenous. About 50% of the planted trees are "Aleppo pines" that originated in the south of Europe (mainly Spain) & North Africa. The article doesn't note they're invasive. 2/
Israel planted monocultures of these pines over the ruins of Palestinian villages to hide their existence, prevent Palestinians from returning, assert claim over the land, & greenwash its state image. I describe this weaponization of tree planting as green colonialism. 3/
@marionumber4 Hey since @canteverdie (Tyler Gregory Sternbach of Kenosha, WI) blocked me did you know about this? Do you tell yourself colonialism and racism etc. etc. are why your fecal-colored monkey gods are like this in Colombia of all places too?
@marionumber4 @CantEverDie Also I don't really think you care about AI given how many of you went all out on Kirk AI edits. I can only imagine how many poor black families and how much damage to the environment that did. Because leftists are soulless animals who will do anything to degrade their enemies!

The replacement of humans has always been the goal. Now it’s actually starting to happen.
For years, insiders tried to warn us—engineers, whistleblowers, entire teams inside the biggest tech companies in the world. They saw where AI was heading… and what it was becoming.
They were ignored, dismissed, written off as overreacting.
@zeeemedia lays out a pattern that’s getting harder to ignore—where technology once sold as progress is now being used for surveillance, automated warfare, and the systematic replacement of human labor at scale.
And the most unsettling part?
This isn’t a glimpse of the future. It’s already happening.
Tonight is Part 2 of our Great Reset: Next Phase series—and what we’re about to show you makes one thing clear: this next phase isn’t coming, it’s already underway.
Before any major crisis, there are always voices trying to sound the alarm. They get dismissed, labeled as overreacting, written off as “panicans” or worse.
But this time, those warnings didn’t fade away. They came true.
The people closest to this technology saw exactly where this was heading—and now we’re watching it unfold in real time.
Tomorrow night, we’ll focus on solutions. But today, we need to face something far more immediate: what the world looks like if no one steps in to change course. 🧵

The risks surrounding AI were never hidden—they were identified early by the very people building the systems.
Engineers and employees inside major tech companies raised clear, repeated concerns about how these tools could be used for surveillance and warfare. They understood something fundamental: once the capability exists, control becomes secondary. Infrastructure drives expansion.
Even when leadership promises restraint, the incentives push in the opposite direction.
In 2018, thousands of Google employees signed a letter opposing military AI projects, warning: “We believe that Google should not be in the business of war.”
That warning points to a deeper reality. AI doesn’t stay confined to its original purpose. Once integrated into defense pipelines, it becomes adaptable, scalable, and increasingly difficult to contain. Years later, whistleblower allegations suggest the exact scenarios employees feared are no longer hypothetical.
The pattern is hard to ignore—internal resistance, public reassurance, then quiet escalation. The people closest to the technology saw where this was heading.
And even they couldn’t stop it.

THREAD: The NYT Iran war story wasn’t written for the left. It was written for MAGA. Here’s the proof including where the story’s own claims fall apart. 🧵
The only question I have left is which Eurasian slop peddler thought of this plan.
The only question I have left is which Eurasian slop peddler thought of this plan.
On April 7 hours before the Iran ceasefire the NYT dropped a 4,500-word story on how Trump went to war.
Bylined Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.
Sourced entirely from anonymous officials.
A preview of their forthcoming book “Regime Change,” due June 23 from Simon & Schuster.
Every major outlet treated it as the definitive account.
The MAGA anti-war crowd treated it as scripture.
And that’s the tell.

And that’s the tell.
The story’s core claims:
— Netanyahu gave Trump a “hard sell” in the Situation Room on Feb 11
— Ratcliffe called the regime change plan “farcical”
— Rubio said “in other words, it’s bullshit”
— Vance was the most vocal opponent warned of regional chaos and MAGA betrayal
— Trump decided on “instinct,” ignoring advisers
— Hegseth was the most enthusiastic
Zero named sources.
Every claim deniable.
Every official given an alibi.

on one hand, i share the sentiment of compute needing to be open at all costs to avoid a few people controlling everything
on the other hand, even if we end up in the bad timeline, there is always a way out of that very situation and no i am not talking about taking your own life that is not a solution i am talking about some other ideas :)

those ideas clearly being hosting a gmod server and a minecraft one and endearing them to play until they are physically too tired to do anything, clearly.
jokes aside in general i think a lot of people are being way too doomer-ish about humanity and its role right now in general, the concept of a permanent underclass is not really a sustainable one at all lol
🚨EXCLUSIVE VIDEO and EXPOSÉ: CHRISTOPHER NIENHUIS CAUGHT AS*AULTING A FEMALE STUDENT BEFORE SEPARATE ST*BBING INCIDENT: ENTIRE FAMILY HAS HISTORY OF TARGETING
The same advocates for Karmelo Anthony are now defending Christopher Nienhuis, the teen who st*bbed another teen in a North Texas community park last year. They claim “victim” and are now claiming that his father is also a “victim, despite the fact that Mark Nienhuis was just charged with aggravated As*ault with a Deadly Weapon Causing Serious Bodily Injury and EIGHT counts of Aggravated As*ault with a Deadly Weapon after his gunfire struck his OWN 11-year-old daughter.
However, I have spent countless hours digging deeply into the family and interviewing those close by in Midlothian. This was prompted by the fact that Dominque Alexander (a previous spokesperson for Karmelo Anthony) claimed Christopher was a “victim” and his family had suffered from “racism” and “targeting”. Dominque Alexander, a career criminal himself, has defended all the wrong people in an effort to position himself in the spotlight, and I immediately knew that what he claimed was nonsense. His voice always raises a red flag.
I was right.
Christopher Nienhuis, and his brothers, have a past of harassment, fighting and causing trouble within the community. Christopher, who is currently on house arrest for a st*bbing and awaiting trial, physically as*aulted a fellow student in October, 2024. I have obtained video footage of the as*ault. According to witnesses I have spoke with and the obtained report, Christopher grabbed the female student’s cell phone and threw it across the room. He also broke the victim’s laptop. He then began to punch the female till she was finally underneath him. This is where the recording begins below. She was hit in the head but thankfully was not seriously injured.
His family did later try to make excuses for Christopher and claimed that the female student had “tried to wrap the charging cord around Christopher’s head”. The police stated that Christopher never made this claim, and suffered no marks. It would seem that holding their son accountable tends to be an ongoing issue, considering Mark (his father) posted Christopher’s bail after the parking lot stabbing.
After the altercation in the classroom, the victim was scared to attend class, and attended school online, causing her to miss the rest of her high school experience. Also, following the classroom fight, Markel Nienhuis (the older brother) posted a childhood photo of his brothers on Snapchat with the caption “Call 1-800-Whoop THAT H0”.
Also, on one of the female victim’s Instagram lives, Jayden Nienhuis (another brother) posted “I’ll use the brick method on all y’all” and “Ima touch all ya’ll when ya’ll sleep”.
From April of 2022, I have also obtained a video of all of the Nienhuis brothers fighting. According to the witness I obtained the video from, two large groups were fighting eachother. And you can visibly seen Chris Nienhuis (black T-shirt) hitting a boy in a blue hoodie in the face with a rock.
In a third video I obtained, Chris is fighting in a class hallway. According to a source, this fight ended up continuing in the school bathroom. And according to the witness, Chris and his friends reportedly made a few edits of the student he fought and shared it online in an effort to bully him.
So while these so-called “advocates” try to paint this as a good family being unfairly targeted, here’s the reality:
A little girl has been shot - by her own father.
That father now sits in a hospital facing multiple violent felony charges.
And his son - the one they’re calling a “victim” - is awaiting trial for stabbing another teenager and nearly killing him.
This seems to be an unfortunate family pattern. And others are suffering the consequences.

The same way MILLIONS already do: by working. Unauthorized immigrants are already in the labor force. The difference is that the bill pulls more of that work into a legal, taxed system instead of leaving it in the shadows.
