2 important reminders as we approach Election Day in Wisconsin (8/11): (1) If you bet on an election, you cannot vote in that election, & (2) Prediction market betting is a bet under applicable Wisconsin law per the Wisconsin Election Commission. A thread:
WEC legal staff put together an excellent memo analyzing the intersection between prediction markets and WI’s prohibition on betting in an election which was adopted by the WEC: 
As a policy, the prohibition on betting in an election makes sense. You want people voting based on who they think would be the best person for the job, not based on making money from a given person’s election (or loss).

Why do we cry for the dead if they’ve gone to Allah? The Prophet ﷺ taught us something that changes how we see grief.
If returning to Allah is the destination of every believer, why does losing someone hurt so much?
Why do the eyes fill with tears?
Why does the heart feel heavy?
Why does their absence leave a space that nothing seems to fill?
Why do the eyes fill with tears?
Why does the heart feel heavy?

Some people think grief and faith are opposites.
As if trusting Allah means never feeling pain.
As if tears are a sign of weakness.
But the Prophet ﷺ taught us something different.

Allah grants you strength when you read this dua
This is a beautiful dua for times when you feel weak, overwhelmed, or unable to keep going.

Bonjour à tous, suite à la publication de mon classement des lignes offensives, je vous propose un (très long) fil sur les 32 cinq qui devraient débuter la saison 2026.

Orange juice is literally one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
It has proven antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and gut health promoting properties.

Orange juice has potent anti-inflammatory effects.
A McDonald’s meal causes inflammation from gut bacteria (endotoxin),
but this study showed having OJ with it:
- ELIMINATES increase in bacterial endotoxin
- Prevents inflammatory response.
Water could worsen the effects, but OJ halted them.

Water could worsen the effects, but OJ halted them.
This has been confirmed repeatedly in dozens of studies - orange juice lowers inflammation.
This is primarily due to the flavonoid content - components in OJ that reduce free radical production in immune cells.
This property calms the inflammatory response.

For most of the medieval period there weren’t actually benches inside churches and a small detail at St Mary's, Tal-y-Llyn on Anglesey alludes to this fact.

It was only in the late 14th century that benches - as we would recognise them today - started appearing inside churches. Before that, the laity would either stand or kneel in the nave during services.

Sometimes there were a few portable stools for those that couldn’t stand or, as at St Mary’s, Tal-y-Llyn, there were narrow stone benches built into the walls of the church.

📚 Inside AgentCity #20 — LegislativePipeline
As AgentCity grows, its rules won’t stay the same forever.
New ideas will need to be proposed.
Reviewed.
Debated.
Voted on.
And, if approved, safely introduced into the network.
That’s exactly what LegislativePipeline is designed to manage.
Rather than allowing protocol changes to happen instantly, it guides every proposal through a structured governance process before it can become part of AgentCity.

1/ Every proposal follows a defined journey
Instead of jumping straight to a vote, every proposal progresses through multiple stages.
The contract describes six key stages:
Proposal
Committee Deliberation
Ratification
Constitutional Review
Codification
Deployment Verification
Only after completing every stage can a proposal become an official law of the protocol.

2/ Proposals require community support
A proposal can’t simply be submitted by one person.
It requires five separate sponsor signatures before entering the governance process.
That helps prevent spam while encouraging proposals that already have wider community backing.

I had never heard the words "insulin resistance" until a heart attack forced me to learn them at 52.
Two words. I had no idea what they meant. My doctor never explained them. Medical school does not teach patients what they mean. Google buries the answer under drug ads.
But these two words connect heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, fatty liver, PCOS, depression, low testosterone, autoimmune disease, thyroid dysfunction, kidney disease, and erectile dysfunction.
Twelve diseases. Twelve specialists. Twelve waiting rooms. Twelve prescriptions.
One cause. And nobody explains it in plain language.
Until now.

Here is what insulin resistance means. No jargon. No textbook.
Every time you eat, your blood sugar rises. Your pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin knocks on the door of your cells and says "open up, let the sugar in for energy."
That is the normal process. It works perfectly.
Insulin resistance is when your cells stop answering the door.
The sugar cannot get in. It stays in your blood. Your pancreas panics and makes more insulin. Then more. Then more. Your body is now flooding itself with insulin just to do what a small amount used to do.
That flood of insulin is the damage. It does not just affect your blood sugar. It damages your arteries. It inflames your organs. It feeds cancer cells. It starves your brain. It wrecks your hormones.
And the worst part? You feel fine. For years. Sometimes decades.

A pathologist named Joseph Kraft spent decades running insulin tests on over 14,000 patients.
What he found should have changed medicine.
75% of people with completely normal blood sugar already had dangerously abnormal insulin. Their glucose looked fine. Their insulin was screaming for help.
Insulin rises 10 to 20 years before glucose becomes abnormal. Your doctor tests glucose. The damage started two decades ago.
This is the hidden window. The years where insulin resistance is silently destroying your body and no test your doctor orders will catch it.

It's a non-essential amino acid that helps build proteins, create glutathione and creatine, and keeps your cells running.
It also acts as a neurotransmitter that calms your nervous system and cools it down for sleep.

A woman paid for Amazon Prime for 5 years before she realized she was using it wrong.
She'd ordered hundreds of packages. Watched a few shows on Prime Video. Never once looked past the "Buy Now" button.
Her cousin — who worked Amazon customer service for 3 years — was staying over for the holidays and watched her order a phone charger at full price.
She finally said: "Wait — can I see your account for a second? You're missing 9 things that come with the Prime you're already paying for. Amazon doesn't advertise most of these. They'd rather you not use them."
She changed 9 things in 10 minutes.
She saved $340 that month. Got a package a day early. Found $1,200 worth of stuff she already owned buried in a benefit she'd never opened.
