Five Things Women Can't Resist in a Man

1. Being a dictator: This might seem like an uncommon opinion, but girls adore leaders, especially men who are arrogant and confident enough to command a group of men. This doesn't mean you have to become a ruthless killer; it's enough to have an overwhelming confidence in your ability to lead anyone in the world, especially ⬇️

To be absolutely certain that you are capable of leading a group of men successfully to victory.

🚨Is direct air capture (#DAC) really worth the investment?

A new Nature Climate Change study shows that investing in wind & solar delivers 2-3× greater combined climate + health benefits than direct air capture across most U.S. regions, under the same budget.

Details🧵1/11

2/ DAC is often promoted as essential for net-zero, removing CO₂ directly from the atm. But most studies assess it in isolation, asking: “Does it work?”

This study asks a policy-relevant question:
“What are we giving up by funding DAC instead of alternatives?”

3/ Researchers modelled cost-equivalent investments across 22 U.S. regions (2020–2050), comparing:

Direct Air Capture vs Utility-scale wind & solar

Critically, they evaluated CO₂ reductions + air pollution + health impacts.

I became a psychiatrist because I wanted to help ease suffering.
That remains the moral center for me.
People deserve care when they are in pain. They deserve language for what feels confusing or unbearable. They deserve access to treatments that help, including medication when needed.

But helping people also means telling the truth.
And the truth is that the pendulum has swung too far toward turning normal human pain into pathology.
We are often too quick to diagnose, too quick to prescribe, and too slow to ask what someone’s suffering is trying to say. /1

We live in a culture that increasingly medicalizes ordinary emotional life.
Sadness becomes “depression.”
Restlessness becomes “ADHD.”
Worry becomes “anxiety disorder.”
Grief becomes something to fix.
Sometimes these are illnesses.
Sometimes they are human signals. /2

1 – The Department of Justice continues to bring affordability to the American people. Today, we announced a historic settlement with Agri Stats, whose business model directly raised the price of chicken, turkey, and pork in local grocery stores across our nation. 🐔🐖⚖️

2 – Previously, Agri Stats’ business model allowed for the sharing of confidential information among only meat producers, putting buyers of meat—like grocery stores and restaurants— at a competitive disadvantage.

3 - Under this business model, the prices of meat only went up and YOU, the American consumer, were left holding the bill.

1/ China Challenge: Believe it or Not*

In the two months before the current war with Iran, which nation expanded its national strategic reserve of oil: the US (which initiated the war) or China (which was simply preparing for what could happen)?

2/ Answer: China.

Between January and February 2026, China added ~74 million barrels to its strategic stockpile at a rate of 1.24 million barrels/day—more than double its 2025 pace of 570k barrels per day, or about 117% above the previous year’s average.

3/ Meanwhile, the US added 4 million barrels to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve over the same window, roughly 1/18th of what China added.

Here's how repressed emotions can make you sick and what to do about it.

Thread🧵

It’s George.

In this thread, we will talk about why emotional release is a missing piece for many people with chronic illness.

“The tragedy of our time is that we have lost the ability to feel. We have armoured ourselves against pain, but in doing so we have also armoured ourselves against pleasure and against life itself.”

-Alexander Lowen (Bioenergetics (1975)).

Solving complex problems (accomplishing a goal also follows the same process as solving a complex problem) requires multifaceted approaches.

For example:
-No one becomes a good parent by just doing this ONE special thing.

-No one makes a very good living by just doing this ONE special thing.

-No one massively improves their health by just doing this ONE special thing.

-No one fixes their mindset by just doing this ONE special thing.

1) What Ted Turner did right.

2) Ted Turner, who died at age 87, was an American patriot. I know, how can you marry Hanoi Jane, but . . .

3) His support of Ronald Maxwell's great movie, "Gettysburg," temporarily put into play a series of American history movies & shows.

4) "Gettysburg" was intended as a TV miniseries to appear on the Turner network, but Maxwell decided to consolidate it to a mere 3+ hours.

5) From the opening credits with War-era photographs to the heart-tugging music, the movie featured career-making roles . . .

5) contd . . . for Sam Elliot as Gen. John Buford; Jeff Daniels as Col. Joshua Chamberlain; and Stephen Lang as Gen. George Pickett. I'm 50/50 on Martin Sheen as Lee, but I think he pulled it off better than Robert Duvall.

6) At any rate, Turner went on to support . . .

Claude just killed the “I need a dev team” excuse.

What used to cost $350K and take months…

now takes a few prompts and a coffee break.

AI is turning anyone with an idea into an app creator.

1. The App Structure Prompt

Prompt:

“Act as a senior mobile architect. Design the production-ready structure for [APP NAME] in [iOS/Android/Flutter/React Native]. Include folders, screens, reusable components, state management, API layer, auth flow, navigation, storage, error handling, and analytics.”

Why this works:

It turns a vague app idea into a buildable system, which helps you avoid messy code and bad technical decisions early.

2. The UX Flow Prompt

Prompt:

“Act as a senior mobile UX designer. Create a screen-by-screen UX plan for [APP NAME] for [TARGET USERS] in a [STYLE] style. For each screen include goal, main action, UI elements, empty/loading/error states, CTA, microcopy, and retention opportunity.”

Why this works:

It makes Claude design the user journey screen by screen, which gives you clearer UX, stronger engagement, and fewer usability mistakes.

27 stocks...

Here are 27 stocks set to benefit from what I'm calling "Elon's Endgame"

I'll provide tickers and quick descriptions of each stock below in this megathread 🧵

But first... here's my thesis, and why you as an investor might want to start positioning yourself. ⬇️

In my recent Grow or Die piece "Elon's Endgame" I laid out Musk’s updated master plan, how the roadmap recently changed, and how the empire’s pieces fit together.

(growordieinvesting.substack.com/p/elons-endgame)

The quick summary: We shouldn’t look at Elon’s empire like it’s a collection of separate companies. We should view it as a vertically integrated stack where AI, energy, robotics, connectivity, and space logistics & infrastructure reinforce each other.

Mars colonization remains the North Star, but the near-term roadmap has pivoted to the Moon as the proving ground and steppingstone and to orbital AI data centers as the next compute frontier.

You don’t have to believe Mars will be colonized on any particular timeline to profit. You don’t even have to own stock in Tesla or SpaceX—though both will be core holdings for many.

What matters is mapping capital flows because Musk’s vision is directing hundreds of billions of dollars today, and potentially trillions more over the next decade.

If you understand where all that money is going, who is likely to benefit across supply chains, adjacent technologies, and supporting infrastructure, and how the timelines stack up, you can better position yourself to profit from one of the most important structural investment themes of the next decade.

Put simply, Musk’s ecosystem is in the early innings of a multi-hundred-billion-dollar capex cycle that will accelerate over the coming years. And this investment will create demand shock waves that ripple throughout the economy and benefit various suppliers and partners.

So there’s a big set of opportunities lining up, even for investors who don’t want direct exposure to Musk’s ecosystem through Tesla and/or SpaceX.

I wrote about the overall investor framework you should go about thinking about all this here: growordieinvesting.substack.com/p/elons-endgam…

I saw it when I lived in Toronto for several years starting from 1987. Racist groups infiltrated the New age movements and Wolfgang Drogue was grooming street kids to be politicians, police and businessmen. They also used martial arts and new age philosophies to infiltrate people’s psyches. They expropriated esoteric aspects from India, China, Japan and Europe and Indigenous cultures.

It was Robert Maxwell working with Uri Geller and Epstein working with Deepack Chopra. Barbara Bronfman who bailed out Guru murder Ira Einhorn the killer or Holly Maddux. All these pieces being pulled together. Maxwell published the New Age Books while Trump began his early media coverage.

Toronto was central to all this. We had the rise of Moses Znaimer and his late night baby blue porn films pushing the envelope on TV censorship laws. He created pay for content TV so we were told. It evolved to the creation of Much Music and Fashion TV and a Porn channel that failed and became the food network.

October 18, 2019, The WHO, John Hopkins University, and Bill Gates teamed up to make a televised simulation of a novel Coronavirus. 1 month later, Covid 19 originated in Wuhan.

centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/table…

The WHO, John Hopkins University and Bill Gates help fund an experimental mrna vaccine and push for mass censorship.

Liberals and tons of leftists agree with the censorship and call everyone who doesn't take the vaccine a Nazi that belongs in prison. Many countries, like the PI and Austria, force jail on everyone who doesn't take it. Biden signs a bill forcing employees in large businesses to either take it or get daily Covid 19 testing + masks, but this is killed in the right wing supreme court. All social media platforms ban people for vaccine misinformation. This was the first time an RNA vaccine was made mainstream, and liberals called you a Nazi while they call your employer and demanded the conspiracy nut gets fired.

Well now Bill Gates is known as Jeffrey Epstein's best friend so I don't know if they'll accept they've been played or not. All I know is that I'll never forgive any of you. Now I know what real Nazis look like. Take your mrna Hantavirus vaccine.

Also, the power structure likes telling you things ahead of time on occasion. Why? Mainly to prove that there is no conspiracy, because smart people won't implicate themselves in a conspiracy. It's funny logic. By proving they did it, they prove they didn't do it. Works every time.

I'm reposting because the first time, the picture screwed up. The second time, the entire first post was glitched up and only said threadr. Editing isn't functional at the moment.

Also I've never taken the clot shot.

“I've been made a financial outcast. It's been brutal.”
Francesca Albanese @Reuters: “U.S. sanctions changed my life. Assets in the U.S. were frozen. The personal cost has been heavy. Universities I used to partner with canceled their cooperation with me. So it’s been brutal.” 🧵

2/ “I often have to hide my identity when I participate in events and people book a room on my behalf because if the hotel company is connected to a U.S. entity, they will reject my reservation. It's very embarrassing; it's very humiliating.”

3/ “Not being able to have a credit card, to have to borrow money, not being able to access my savings, my earnings, on top of the fact that I'm not even working anymore ... because how am I going to get paid? So it's really unfortunate.”
