What does this say about Jews that have been shomer shabbos their whole lives but are dirt poor?

[Yossi Farro @FarroYossi]

I Kept Shabbat for the First Time in Years… and Closed Over $8 Million in Deals This Week.”

One of the most meaningful texts I’ve received in a long time.

A few years ago, I met someone at a conference and wrapped Tefillin with him. He grew up religious, in the same community I grew up in, but over time drifted away.

We stayed in touch, and he’s been following my content ever since.

Today he texted me that after being inspired by my posts, he decided to keep Shabbat this past week for the first time in years.

This week, he closed over $8 million in annual recurring deals, the biggest week of his career.

Wanting to thank God, he put on Tefillin today. And while he was wrapping, two more clients texted him confirming even bigger deals.

But the part that meant the most to me was what he told me afterward:

“I’m going to keep going.”

Whether the deals were connected or not, I’ll leave that up to you.

What I do know is that one Shabbat led to Tefillin, and both brought him one step closer to his roots.

Sometimes one mitzvah can change everything.

@SecScottBessent @farrmacro Doesn't this incentivize Iran to charge the toll on the strait of harmuz?
Worst case they are getting funds now instead of sometime in the future.

[Rep. Yvette D. Clarke @RepYvetteClarke]

I was proud to join Chabad @Lubavitch to celebrate and commemorate the late, great Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

The Rebbe’s enduring legacy continues to steer our world forward, and it was my honor to recognize his remarkable life alongside my dear friends.

@BenYehudaPress @BKLYNlibrary are you going to get this for your catalog?

@krotchetygaon They give food and other handouts to Rebbes (and Moras) because yeshivas don't pay a living wage

The problem goes both ways. A lot of Orthodox think Conservative and reformed aren't worthy of association.

It highlights a real lack of ahavas yisroel on both sides.

[Eli Lebowicz @EliLebowicz]

When an organization says it’s connecting Jews of all backgrounds they mean all the non-Orthodox backgrounds.

@benspringwater What does it do?

[Avi Shr 🌋 @AviShr]

Scamming *is* crypto values

[willo2 @willo2_Poly]

I supported Polymarket for years because I believed they represented crypto values.

In fact, their platform is simply another bucketshop where if you bet too much, you're going to get cleaned.

It's disgraceful that your employees would scam for such low amounts @shayne_coplan

He should ban public schools from assigning homework on game nights and tests on days after games

I don't think any of us has come to terms with our post truth AI world.

Peer reviewers are supposed to be experts to weed out the garbage, but if they are letting explicit lies through what hope is there for the average person trying to learn about anything online.

[Invest Like the Best @InvestLikeBest]

In early 2024, a medical researcher in Sweden designed an experiment to test whether LLMs would absorb fabricated medical information as fact.

She invented a fictional eye condition called bixonimania, supposedly caused by blue light from screens.

In late April and early May, she uploaded two fake academic preprint papers to SciProfiles, a non-peer-reviewed academic platform.

The lead author was a fictional researcher with an AI-generated photo and a fake affiliation. The papers explicitly stated the work was made up.

The acknowledgments thanked "Professor Maria Bohm at The Starfleet Academy for her work onboard the USS Enterprise."

Within weeks, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity were all describing bixonimania to users as a real condition. Some recommended consulting an ophthalmologist.

Over the next year, the fake papers were cited in real peer-reviewed academic literature.

In April 2026, Nature published a feature on the experiment.

Alex Ruani, a health misinformation researcher, called the case a "masterclass" in how false information can spread.

The article noted that more than 40 million people now use ChatGPT daily for health information.

Darren's framing of why this matters:

"We're talking right now about the power of AI and its ability to do all this computing. It's smarter than us.

But if we co-opt it, the danger of co-opting these models when they become part of the loop of decision-making in important systems like military systems, can you imagine?

If you can create a foundation of fact that is wrong for a model, I could see an alternative universe where the models become complete Towers of Babel.

We've lost them, because of what they've imputed through the junk that we've posted."
