This is LOVE! 💖
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John 4:7–11

1 John 4:7–11
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was released 35 years ago today. One of the most commercially and critically successful crime thrillers ever made, the making of story is like having an old friend for dinner…

7 years after the success – and film adaptation of – his 1981 novel Red Dragon, author Thomas Harris published a sequel. It followed an enigmatic character from the first – Hannibal Lecter – and was called The Silence of the Lambs.

Immediately on the book’s release, film studios were interested. Gene Hackman and Orion Pictures joined forces to acquire the rights for $500k. The idea was Hackman would direct the film, possibly write it, and star as FBI Agent Jack Crawford.

I wrote and spoke about this publicly multiple times, including several months ago again on my Substack Outspoken. Jeffrey Epstein funded my agent John Brockman's Edge Foundation, about which I had no knowledge. When I found out in July 2019, I left Brockman's agency.

Foreign stock investing 101
Us naive Americans dont think about currency returns as part of our portfolios as we have the biggest and for decades best place to invest in equities.
Every other global investor cares about currency returns at basic level for their investing

The basic idea for investors or all nationalities should be simple and obvious to all. But we Americans just haven't had to care. Maybe we still don't but at least we should be aware. This 101 will explain what is obvious to all non Americans and then show how it works
The goal of all investors is simple. We want to maximize the risk adjusted return of our investments in the currency we expect to spend in the future.
As Americans we want to maximize our USD returns
If we are Japanese we want to maximize our Yen returns
Etc.

What happens when your body is severely deficient in magnesium?
These 8 warning signs are more common than you think.
You might realize you’ve been blaming the wrong thing:
1/ You feel emotionally flat…🧵

Why is magnesium so important?
Because magnesium is used in 600+ reactions in the human body.
Yet 50-75% of people are chronically deficient.
Stress, alcohol, poor soil quality, sugar, and caffeine all drain magnesium levels fast...

Magnesium is critical for serotonin function.
No magnesium = poor mood regulation, more depressive episodes, and low resilience to stress.
It’s so potent, some people have called it “nature’s antidepressant.”

1/ Russian warbloggers are outraged at being told by a journalist that it's their own fault that the Russian government is restricting Telegram. They argue that if not for the warblogger community, the military's lies would have gone unchallenged – which is exactly the point. ⬇️
2/ Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist Ivan Pankin has prompted fury with his claim that "endless nameless insiders, all those endless bloggers, the smartest people on earth who know everything and who have been spreading all sorts of nonsense" have annoyed the Russian government.
3/ He is almost certainly correct, but the warbloggers aren't having any of it and have responded angrily. They claim they have been consistently right in warning about the failures of the Russian military, to the overall benefit of the war effort and Russian population.
Didn't find the Atlantic article about the Mellon as objectionable as some, but I parsed AWM's most recent 990: of $555M in giving, $225M went to higher ed. That's like half the annual spend of an Arts&Sciences college at a big public R1. It's just not enough to move the needle.
Put another way, there are about 400 R1s + liberal arts colleges in America. $225M = about $500K per. Higher ed in America is simply enormous, and the idea that a few hundred mil in grantmaking each year can exert a real gravitational effect seems questionable by the numbers.
The top 4 public R1s recieved $8M (directly, excluding things like ACLS), which probably sounds like a lot, until you realize that they probably spend ~$3-400M on their respective humanities divisions in aggregate, which makes this like 2% of funding.
