If you use a Coldcard hardware wallet, please pay attention. If you know someone who uses one, call them. Text them.

This appears to be one of the most serious wallet security incidents Bitcoin has seen.

If you're affected, don't wait. If you need help, reach out.

STOP Stretching Your Sciatica!

A healthier back starts with a structured plan.

3-4x a week. 5-10 minutes a day.

If eating healthy feels overwhelming, you're making it too complicated.

You don't need 20 ingredients or a gourmet recipe to fuel your body well.

Start with real food. Prioritize protein. Add healthy fats. Fill the rest with colorful vegetables. That's how I keep meals simple, even during the summer.

WARNING: Longer post (but worth reading or bookmarking for later).

Your life has seasons.

Each one is unique. Characterized by its own distinct desires, struggles, opportunities, and identity.

But one reflection I've had recently is just how easy it is to completely disassociate with the present season.

To give all your time and energy toward a longing for some nostalgic memory of a prior season or an anticipation for some beautiful state of a future season.

You look back at the past and all you see is sunshine. Because it all worked out. You forget (or glaze over) the struggle you endured. You're here today. You made it. You're alive. You're doing fine.

You look forward at the future and dream on what could be. You'll have so much more. More freedom. More purpose. More health. More deep connection. More everything.

The past is beautiful and the future feels limitless. So, logically, you slowly start to treat everything about the present as the bridge. A dash connecting your past and your future. A gap to be crossed as quickly as possible.

Everything you do today is in anticipation of some eventual end state.

I'm doing this now, so that I can have that later.

Unfortunately, the danger of that dissociation with the present is significant. You may spend your entire life living for a future that has a decidedly mirage-like property. You inch closer, but when it's right in front of you, it disappears and reappears on the horizon.

You may spend your entire life skipping through the present, deferring your presence, your joy, and your very humanity to a future that never comes.

In a classic French fable, a young boy is gifted with a magic ball of golden thread. He's told that if he simply pulls on the thread, time will leap forward. The catch, of course, is that once it's pulled, it can never be put back.

The young boy takes advantage of the newfound powers. Each time he's faced with a boring day at school, a frustrating set of chores, or a scolding from his parents, he pulls the thread, skipping through to the good parts.

As an adult, he continues, leaping through mundane struggles in his marriage, the friction of having a newborn, and the boredom at work. He finds himself pulling on the thread more and more, avoiding even the most minor inconveniences of his life.

But when he wakes up one day and sees an old man looking back at him in the mirror, he's filled with regret. He realizes in that moment that as he chose to skip through the boredom, struggles, and friction, so too did he miss the real texture of being alive.

How often do we all do the same? How easily do we default into this disassociation? Disconnecting from the present in anticipation of some future.

A mentor recently asked me this:

"Where are you going and why are you in such a rush?"

It hit me hard.

And to be honest, I haven't stopped replaying those words since he said them.

Why are you in such a rush?

The world wants you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines.

In doing so, you slowly relinquish your agency. You give up your claim on your own life. Surrender authorship to a pen that was never even yours.

In a world that wants you to rush, the ultimate act of rebellion is presence.

Be in the season you're in. Don't romanticize the past, don't fantasize the future. Be here. Be now. Be in this. All of its texture, depth, and struggle. All of its joy, tension, and pain. Sit with the uncertainty. Become friends with it. Fall in love with it.

Because every single thing you do today is something your younger self dreamed of and something your older self will wish they could go back and do.

The good old days are happening, right now.

And the next time you find yourself skipping through the present, remember these words:

Where are you going and why are you in such a rush?

You should be taking creatine, even if you never step foot in a gym.

One of the biggest myths I hear is that creatine is only for bodybuilders.

The reality is your muscles aren't the only thing that use it. Your brain is one of the most energy-demanding organs in your body, and creatine helps support the system that keeps both your brain and your muscles fueled.

READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO DETOX 👇🏻

Most people think detox is just about sweating. Wrong.

Your liver does most of the heavy lifting, which is why I take glutathione before every sauna session.

My simple protocol:
✔️ Glutathione before sauna
✔️ 1 liter of water during
✔️ Wipe away sweat as it forms

What you need to try: The next time you sauna, focus on hydration and supporting your glutathione levels instead of just trying to sweat more.

This is one of my favorite summer drinks on the planet.

It's called The Suero aka. The Sober Margarita

It’s sparkling water, lime juice, and sea salt lining the brim of the glass.

The sparkling water keeps you full and aids digestion.

The lime juice supports your liver.

The sea salt restores your electrolytes.

It’s healthy, has 3 ingredients, zero alcohol, and tastes delicious.

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just leaked the ENTIRE system prompt of Claude Fable 5 and Anthropic CANNOT DELETE IT.

It was public on GitHub within 24 hours of launch.
120,000 characters. 1,585 lines. 27,000+ tokens.

And what they're hiding will shock you:

↳ Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are the SAME MODEL. Fable just has extra safety filters locked on. Mythos doesn't but they're restricting who gets access. You're paying for the same thing with different guardrails.

↳ Knowledge cutoff is end of January 2026. Not May or March or JANUARY. They let you think it was newer.

↳ Claude is EXPLICITLY TOLD to avoid bullet points and lists unless you ask. That weird prose everyone noticed? It’s programmed not a feature, but a prompt instruction.

↳ Copyright hard limit nobody talks about: quoting 15+ words from ANY source triggers a SEVERE VIOLATION flag. One quote per source maximum. After that the source is CLOSED to Claude forever in that chat.

↳ New persistent storage API buried in there. Artifacts can now store and retrieve your data across sessions using key-value pairs. Most users have NO IDEA this exists.

↳ MCP app connectors are baked INTO the prompt. Claude can search for and suggest third-party integrations MID-CONVERSATION without telling you it's doing it.

↳ The prompt includes full instructions for Claude Cowork, Claude in Chrome, Claude in Excel, and Claude in PowerPoint. These are not just integrations. They're tools Claude USES on you.

↳ This prompt is ONLY for https://t.co/3nqvgXgs01's consumer chat. API users get NO system prompt. Claude Code has completely different secret instructions.

The repo is CL4R1T4S by Pliny the Liberator. 26.4K stars. Same repo that leaked ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, and Perplexity.

The original leak post hit 700K+ views in 48 hours.

If this gets taken down you'll lose access. Bookmark it NOW.

Our Anthropic bill is about to jump from $400K → $1.4M/yr.

Not because usage exploded, but because we're about to cross 150 seats.

Past 150 seats you're forced into Enterprise tier. Seats stop including any usage, every token bills at standard API rates. At our current run rate that's 3.5x overnight.

Unfiltered thoughts on AI spend:

1. We should spend tokens to grow as aggressively as possible. But most people (me included) aren't conscious of what they're spending.

2. Visibility comes first. People see their personal number and they're shocked. I accidentally spent $4,000 in 3 days in Claude Code.

3. For engineering the spend is clearly worth it. Pay for the best model, it saves more than it costs.

4. For a lot of other roles it's questionable. Apps nobody uses, skills someone already built. No ROI.

5. Spend limits are coming. We already require approval for more tokens on our support team.

The era of token-maxxing is coming to an end.

This is biblical.

A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.

Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.

She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.

I’ll be telling people all 2026:

1-2 servings of Air Fried Potatoes a day keeps the excess body-fat away

They might literally be the greatest hunger hack in the history of hunger hacks

Only a FOOL would fail to include them as a STAPLE in their diet

@CoachDanGo Is the Carrageenan a problem though?

My Ninja Creami Recipe:

1. Put Fairlife protein (any flavor) into the cup. Use 3/4's of the bottle.
2. Put in a half tablespoon of sugar-free Jell-O pudding.
3. If you like sweet stuff, add a teaspoon of allulose.

Once frozen, run it under light ice cream function.

Then add the 1/4 bottle of the protein and then re-spin.

This makes it taste like a Wendy's frosty.

Add in mix-ins of your choice.

Enjoy.

As a father of two young kids, I keep thinking about this from Dara:

"I think we're doing our kids a disservice by giving them too much, being around too much.

You want to love your kids, you want to know that they're absolutely loved and appreciated.

But it's the challenges in life that form you, and it's the overcoming of these challenges that give humans a profound satisfaction.

If you as a parent are overcoming these challenges for your kids, you're actually doing them a disservice long-term, whereas short-term you think you're doing them a favor.

They've got to learn how to make it in this world themselves.

A happy life is not necessarily an easy life."
