@M4LHarris @denisebellhoutx 👀 wait are you going after Kaepernick? I've got TONS of stuff on him and Nessa. From black supremacist cultists, NGO fraud, extremist influences, and how they're always promoting Marxism. There's a whole timeline of errors that no journalist ever bothered to investigate.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

A young Harvard medical school graduate spent nearly three years stuck in his parents' house, having panic attacks and hallucinations. One evening at twilight, walking into a dressing room, he was hit by what he later called "a horrible fear of my own existence." His name was William James. The diary entry he wrote on April 30, 1870 became the foundation of modern psychology.

The line was this: "My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will." He was 28. He'd given up. So he made one decision: stop waiting to feel okay before doing things. He would do them first, and let the feelings catch up whenever they could.

He spent the next twenty years turning that one diary line into a science. His 1890 textbook landed on a simple split: the things you do are under your direct control, but the things you feel are not. You can decide to swing your legs out of bed and walk to the kitchen. The mood that hits you while you're walking, you can't dial. So you work the part you can work. The feeling side shows up on its own clock, when it's ready and not before.

Brain scanners caught up about a century later. There's a network in your head that switches on the moment you stop paying attention to anything specific. It's the voice that drags you back to something dumb you said in 2014. In depressed brains, this network is overactive. It runs in loops. It will not let go of the negative track about you. The second you start doing something that actually needs your attention, the loop quiets and a different network takes over. Action is the off switch.

In 2016, The Lancet published a trial called COBRA. Researchers took 440 adults with depression and split them in half. One group got CBT, the gold-standard talking therapy where you work on your thinking patterns. The other group got something simpler, basically James's idea written into a treatment plan: pick small activities each week, schedule them, do them, see what happens to your mood. A year later, both groups had improved by the same amount. The simpler version also cost about 20% less to deliver, because junior workers can run it. Five days of training is enough.

In 2024, a research team pulled 218 studies together, covering 14,170 depressed people. Walking and jogging produced a real drop in depression scores. Yoga, same drop. Weights, same drop. The authors' verdict: exercise belongs alongside therapy and medication as one of the main treatments for depression.

So that's the answer William James worked out from his own three years in hell in 1870, and that 14,000+ people in clinical trials have confirmed since. Action. Walk somewhere. Pick something heavy up and put it down. Show up at yoga. Schedule one small task and finish it. Any of these works, and they work for the same reason. You move, and the feeling follows.

I don’t think California’s wealth tax is a good idea.

[seemikedunn @seemikedunn]

I asked Wayne to give me a short list of things he wanted to work on.
One of those things, in his words, was “lift.”
“When I miss, it’s short.”
So we set out to find a feeling.
I used the tee earlier in the week with another player for different reasons, but it felt like a simple way to help Wayne experience getting under the ball differently.
It also became a reference point.
Something we could keep returning to as we explored other movements.
Sometimes that’s all it takes.
I love the simplicity of something like a tee.
Beginner’s mind.
Something kids use that we can return to.
I make shooting simple. Follow me.

Say what you want about the Left, but these people understand that institutions shape public consciousness and that the elites who run them get to determine what's promoted by society.

These people almost instinctively understand that power and culture are in a circular feedback loop that's set into motion when just a handful of levers are pulled. So they pour everything they can into controlling those levers, because they so desperately want the power that comes along with it.

The Left doesn't actually particularly care about the universities, Hollywood, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, or the various media outlets that all regurgitate the eternal Progressive omnicause. This is why they're leading all of these things to ruin. They're just tools for acquiring what actually matters, which is power.

For a bunch of self-proclaimed egalitarians, the Left understands politics, hierarchy, and elite theory far better than the Right.

And speaking of the Right, is it even fair to say "the Right" exists at all? There's just the "anti-Left", and these people only exist as a political "we" through the pure negation of the eternal Progressive omnicause.

The anti-Left is also inherently anti-political. The only thing that crosses their minds is how to escape. "How do I get the government off my back?" they ask over and over again. "How do I keep more of my money?" "How do I get these people to leave me alone?" "How do I get the government out of X?"

The anti-Left has precisely ZERO theory of politics and no governing agenda, because these people don't want to be governed at all. They want to abolish the very concepts of governing, and thus politics itself.

They're essentially anarchists in the truest sense of the word, even more committed to the cause than self-described Anarcho-Capitalists are. At least those people have Hoppe.

But politics does not disappear just because one side finds it morally repugnant. The anti-Left's commitment to anti-politics does not create genuine freedom or liberation from the state. It just creates a vacuum that inevitably gets filled by whichever group has the strongest will to power.

And Progressives have a stronger will to power. These people will riot over a crackhead overdosing on fentanyl. They will claim that men can become women. They will declare that urinals are art and that Boston's City Hall is breathtakingly beautiful. They will murder their political adversaries in cold blood on college campuses and then go online to publicly cheer about it. They will declare borders invalid and chant Free Palestine. They will brag to you that Somalis built America, even as they claim America itself is uniquely evil and must be destroyed.

And in the face of this insanity, the anti-Left's response is to meekly beg, "Just please leave me alone." More than anything else, they just want to escape from this madness.

But politics is precisely that which you cannot escape from.

Someone IS GOING TO decide what gets taught to children, what speech is going to get you canceled, what social behaviors get you sent to prison vs being given an honorary doctorate, what international borders exist and who controls them, what institutions are allowed to openly discriminate against, and what lifestyles are celebrated or mocked.

Even the decision to "just leave people alone" is not an escape from politics. Choosing to "leave someone alone" is ITSELF a political decision made by whoever the ruling elites are, and enforced by the institutions they control.

The anti-political anti-Left has either totally forgotten all of this, or they never understood it to begin with, which is why they are being systematically crushed, no matter how many elections they win.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihtesham2005]

A guy named nbatman on Reddit accidentally built the most useful website on the internet.

It's called FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah).

This is the website Google delisted from search for DMCA violations, Reddit shadow-banned for promoting piracy, the Motion Picture Association flagged as a top piracy threat, and the RIAA pressured hosting providers to drop. It is still online. It is still updated every month.

Here's how it works.

FMHY is the index. The wiki itself hosts nothing. It just tells you where every free thing on the internet actually lives, organized into 14 categories with safety ratings on every single link.

→ Movies and shows in 4K from 50+ streaming sites
→ Music at Spotify and Apple Music quality
→ Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, JetBrains
→ Every paid course on every major learning platform
→ 100 million books and papers through Anna's Archive
→ Free alternatives to every paid AI tool
→ A SafeGuard browser extension that flags unsafe sites in real time

It started as a single Google Doc maintained by one Reddit moderator in 2018. Google killed it with a DMCA takedown in 2023.

The community rebuilt the wiki on its own domain, mirrored it to GitHub and IPFS, and now runs it across 12 backup domains simultaneously.

There is no company. No CEO. No central server. Six anonymous volunteers maintain the entire thing in their spare time. Donations through Ko-fi pay for the hosting. Nobody profits.

Hollywood can't shut this down. Spotify can't shut this down. Adobe can't shut this down.

The entire subscription economy is held together by you not knowing this wiki exists.

A Harvard Business Review finding showed that mandatory race training in workplaces produced higher levels of racism in the end, similar to the white bear suppression effect.

We were so close to a colorblind society… then all the crazies ruined it with performative politics.

my OpenClaw woke me up at 3:47 AM with one message:

"found 6 markets resolving in next 90 minutes while US is asleep, need approval for $12K deployment"

i typed "yes" and went back to sleep

woke up to +$43,800

been running an agent that hunts timezone arbitrage for 9 days

never thought it would actually wake me up

the setup:

gave OpenClaw access to global news feeds in different timezones:
> Japanese government RSS
> European parliament calendars
> Australian financial wires
> Middle East flight trackers
> Asian central bank announcements

told it: "find markets that will resolve during US sleep hours (2 AM - 6 AM EST), alert me if edge exceeds 30%"

what happened at 3:47 AM:

agent detected 6 markets resolving between 4 AM - 6 AM across different timezones

all had same pattern:
> crowd priced them like normal markets
> but resolution would happen while americans sleep
> official sources in those countries already showing signals

the alert:

> "Japan rate decision - 68% YES per BOJ leak, polymarket at 23¢"

> "EU emergency vote - live stream shows YES winning, polymarket at 31¢"

> "South Korea policy - government RSS confirmed, polymarket at 19¢"

> "Australia trade deal - minister quoted 2 hours ago, polymarket at 27¢"

> "UAE production cut - OPEC meeting notes public, polymarket at 15¢"

> "Singapore regulation - parliament session live, polymarket at 22¢"

- total edge detected: $43K potential
- window: 90 minutes before
-capital needed: $12,000

my phone buzzed
i opened telegram half asleep
saw "approve or miss"
typed "yes"

closed my eyes

7:30 AM - woke up to notifications:
all 6 markets resolved during asian/european morning

> US traders woke up to already-closed markets
> my positions entered at 15¢-31¢
> all resolved at 95¢-100¢

profit breakdown:

- Japan: $8,200
- EU: $6,900
- Korea: $11,400
- Australia: $7,100
- UAE: $5,800
- Singapore: $4,400

- total: +$43,800

checked the logs:

agent had been watching these markets for 8-14 hours

tracking official sources in real-time

waiting for US to go to sleep

then finding the moment when:
> outcome is basically confirmed overseas
> but US crowd hasn't updated prices
> resolution is imminent

the edge is stupid simple:

polymarket is 70% american traders
world events don't care about EST timezone
while you sleep, markets resolve

One of the most obnoxious things about the Left is their willful blindness to the fact that their ideology has already clearly conquered every institution imaginable.

They've already won. They've gotten everything they could possibly want out of the Media, Entertainment, and Academia...and yet these people are still miserable!

They see the Media adopting overtly Leftist messaging for decades, affirming every delusional worldview they have, and then go online to bitch and moan about how the "far right" is taking over.

You have no idea what a "far right" monopoly on "media propaganda" looks like. But here's hoping that one day you will.
