Dr. Alex Tatum just dropped one of the biggest interviews about peptides.
He broke down the 15 most important peptides and what each one actually does to your body on the Diary of a CEO podcast:

He broke down the 15 most important peptides and what each one actually does to your body on the Diary of a CEO podcast:
1) BPC-157 for injury and tissue repair
This peptide is for anyone recovering from a torn muscle, pulled tendon, or gut issues like ulcerative colitis.
It works by growing new blood vessels directly at the site of injury to speed up the healing process.
Injected under the skin near the injured area.

2) GHK-Cu
This is for men and women noticing fine lines, sagging skin, or thinning hair.
It boosts collagen and elastin production directly where applied. It's also the one anti-aging compound with real science behind it.
Used as a topical cream.

On Hantavirus: a (non-technical) thread.
Disclaimer: I am a biology PhD, but not virology/epidemiology. Husbandman is a virology PhD. But I’m told I’m good at communicating science, so here’s my take.

#Hantavirus
Humans get hantavirus from rodents who carry it.
Some people went to Argentina birdwatching in a landfill, and were exposed to hantavirus because rodents like landfills.
Looks like one - if not two - people brought the virus onto their cruise boat.

So now we have an isolated boat with an index case: someone who is infected.
That’s not good for the index case. Hantavirus has a high fatality rate, and that’s scary.

If Apple tells you your iPhone needs a new battery because it keeps dying, do this first.
I went from charging three times a day to 48-hour battery life in one night.

The smartphone ecosystem is a heavily monetized data-harvesting machine designed to extract your telemetry. I spent the last month completely tearing down how iOS defaults drain your hardware.

Here are 18 rules to bypass the battery traps, lock down your device, and direct your own reality: ↓↓
First. The "Background Refresh" Trap
Situation: You close an app and assume it stops running. You think your phone is resting quietly in your pocket, conserving power while you go about your day. You treat the screen turning off as a hard stop to all processing. You assume you are in control of the interaction.
System: Realize that Background App Refresh allows dozens of corporate applications to silently wake up, connect to the internet, and download data while your screen is completely black. They are constantly pulling your battery and processing power just to stay relevant for the exact second you might decide to open them. It is invisible labor done entirely for third-party developers.
Why it works: Turn it off completely. You force applications to only consume power when you actively decide to open them. You dictate the exact terms of execution, shutting down the background hemorrhage of your hardware's finite power.

"I travel too much to stay in shape."
I've heard this 1,000 times.
I've coached hundreds of executives and parents who travel every week and are in the best shape of their lives.
Here's the exact hotel room workout I give them:

Why this works:
Hotel gyms can be terrible. Some have nothing.
But they do have dumbells.
Dumbbells and 30 minutes is all you need to maintain muscle, manage stress, and keep your metabolism firing on the road.
Consistency beats perfection. Every time.

Robert Sapolsky is a Stanford neuroscientist who proved chronic stress is the silent killer doctors ignore.

1) Replay conversations in your head

1) Replay conversations in your head
Sapolsky's exact words: "ruminating about that weird thing you said to a teacher 15 years ago."
Your brain doesn't know the conversation isn't happening right now. It triggers the same cortisol surge as the original threat.
Notice it. Name it. Redirect.

2) Worry about scenarios that haven't happened
Sapolsky's signature line: a zebra reacts to a lion for 30 seconds, then grazes peacefully. A human worries about an imagined lion for 30 years.
When you catch yourself: ask "is this happening right now?"

Haven’t really TVed in years but listening to ep.s of Girls on 2X while doing busywork out of genderslop curiosity & find it interesting. eg the girls all just seem to hate each other & often say as much yet keep intimately hanging out. Nothing passes bechdel test, but feministly
Its morality & worldview feel more intriguingly & relevantly alien than almost any scifi. Every scene vibrates with feelings of intense stakes & views, but nothing ever has any consequences & nobody thinks/talks/acts propositionally, & somehow this stakelessness is what spirals…
I’m sure this is how girls feel seeing how guys bond/coordinate/compete by joshing each other. “How can you distinguish the insults etc that are meant for friends vs acquaintances vs enemies vs peers vs bosses vs inferiors vs enemies vs tests, & why?” Girls are different species.

First, Sami al‑Sai, introduced by @NickKristof as a “freelance journalist.” What the NYT doesn’t tell you: al‑Sai has a long record of celebrating terrorists on social media.
Kristof repeats gruesome details of “vomit, blood and broken teeth” and lets al‑Sai claim he was arrested to pressure him into becoming an informant. In reality, al‑Sai had already been jailed in 2016 for incitement – and his 2024 arrest was again for incitement.
His own Facebook explains why.

On 23 March 2023 al‑Sai posted about Amir Abu Khadija, calling him “our martyred prince.”
Abu Khadija wasn’t some random victim. He was the founder and leader of the Tulkarm Battalion – a terrorist group behind multiple deadly attacks, including:
🔴30 May 2023 – Israeli civilian murdered near Hermesh
🔴19 Oct 2023 – 1 IDF officer killed, 10 wounded
🔴23 Mar 2024 – 4 Israeli soldiers killed
🔴1 Jul 2024 – 1 soldier killed, another severely injured
In December 2023 – just two months before his arrest – al‑Sai posted videos and photos celebrating armed fighters in Nur Shams camp.
16 Dec – “Moons of Nur Shams camp,” showing terrorists in tactical gear
18 Dec – cheering captured Israeli military equipment
The very next day, 17 Dec, Israeli forces raided Nur Shams, killing five terrorists. Al‑Sai had close access to the gunmen Israel was targeting. NYT’s due diligence on his background? Zero.

Last week, the United States refused to participate in the UN’s review of the Global Compact on Migration.
The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies.

UN agencies systematically facilitated mass migration into America and Europe, even as citizens of these nations called for restrictions on migration.

UN agencies – working with the NGOs they fund – established a migration corridor through Central America and to the U.S. border.
As the American people suffered under an unprecedented wave of mass migration, the UN was on the ground pipelining migrants to our southern border.

La abuela me preguntó si el niño podía jugar al juego de las carreras (el Mario Kart). Yo le dije que sí, pero que era un juego para
dos jugadores, así que tenían que elegir quién de los abuelos jugaba con su nieto. En un principio dijeron que ellos en la vida habían cogido un mando, pero al final, la abuela se lanzó a la misión para que el nieto pudiera jugar.

China fields a military where 70-80% of soldiers are only children. Every battlefield death risks extinguishing a family line. This demographic reality shapes Xi's strategic calculus in ways Western analysis should pay more attention to. My new piece explores this. 1/5 🧵mickryan.substack.com/p/one-child-on…
2/ China's one-child policy ended in 2015. Its military consequences are only beginning. By 2015, ~70% of PLA soldiers and 80% of combat troops came from one-child households. There is almost no historical precedent for a major military force comprised almost entirely of only children.
3/ The research is sobering. Only children are measurably less trusting, less resilient, less risk-tolerant, and less competitive than those with siblings. These are not ideal traits for combat. They are increasingly the defining traits of the PLA's human capital.

Six jars. Not seven; the number of completion in Hebrew culture.
Six is the number of man. Of incompleteness. Of a covenant that hadn't yet been fulfilled.

◇ Magnesium (Mg, T2)
◇ Potassium (K, T3)
◇ A combination of Mg and K (T4)
each at 250 mg - for 2 months. Keep in mind this is a puny amount of potassium.
The results were astonishing.
