Not exaggerating when I say the future depends on this catching on en masse. Kids, adults. Book clubs, silent reading groups. For the past twenty-five years tech has corroded our attention, intelligence and basic pleasure in living, and books are the key to winning them back.

I watched a guy on the bus today. 6:45 AM in the morning while jogging, His eyes looked heavy, like he was carrying the weight of an entire lineage on his shoulders. But immediately he sat down, he brought out his phone and started scrolling TikTok.
​As a Biomedical Engineer, I wanted to snatch that phone from his hand.
​See, let me tell you the bitter truth nobody wants to hear.

Most of you are not lazy or "unlucky." You are chemically sabotaging your own destiny before you even brush your teeth.
​The first 60 minutes of your day is a war zone. Your brain is begging for direction. It runs on dopamine, that’s the fuel for your motivation. But what do you do?
​You wake up. Your eyes haven't even adjusted to the darkness of your room, and gbam, you pick up your phone.
​You check WhatsApp to see who ignored you. You check X to see who is fighting. You check Instagram to see your mates buying cars you can't afford yet.

​You think you are just "waking up," but scientifically? You are flooding your brain with cheap, unearned dopamine. You are frying your reward system. By 8 AM, your brain is already tired. It has consumed "content" but produced nothing.
​And let me speak to the men for a second.
​I write about men a lot because I see what you go through. The pressure is much. You wake up and the first thought is Rent, School fees, the woman you want to impress.
​It is terrifying.
​So, you grab your phone to escape. The phone is your pacifier. It numbs the panic of the morning. But that comfort is a lie.
​When you start your day with cheap dopamine, actual work feels like torture. You have programmed your neurochemistry to be a consumer, not a king.
​You are training your brain to be weak in a world that eats weak men for breakfast.
​Here is the hard truth (and you can drag me if you like):
Your morning mood doesn’t determine how your day goes. It determines your capacity to suffer for your success.
​If you can’t survive the first hour of the day without a screen, how do you want to survive the economy?
​Protect your first hour.
Don't touch that phone.
Stare at the ceiling. Pray. Do pushups. Go for a morning jug or walk.
Let your brain starve for a bit so it learns to hunt for the hard things.
​Stop feeding your destiny to the algorithm.

Great video sent into us yesterday by Laurie Ferguson from Oscoda of blue ice on Lake Huron!

Blue ice is formed by wind driven, dense bubble free ice which absorbs red light and reflects a deep blue color.

Check it out!

HB 4951 is infuriating. Introducing a 24% wholesale cannabis tax on cultivators will destroy jobs, shutter small businesses and push people back to the black market. I reject this bill and urge you to please vote against it @SenLindsey

I wasn’t thinking about Pamela Anderson but let’s talk about her.

Pamela is a once-in-a-lifetime beauty. So striking she was offered a modeling contract after being spotted for a moment at a football game. That kind of beauty doesn’t come around often.

She’s now 57. About to become a grandmother. And she’s not clinging to youth the way so many of you seem to gloat about.

In the ‘90s, she knew what she was, a sex symbol. That level of attention is often lonely. But she fell in love and had children.

Now, in a world terrified of aging, she shows up to red carpets bare-faced. No Botox. No filler. Not even a hair and makeup team.

She used her beauty to build a life, love, legacy, and now, wisdom. And that’s what she’s passing on.

Grandmas don’t need to be sexy. They get to knit. Paint. Bake. Watch their daughters become mothers.

A woman may lose her sexual capital with age. But her value? It evolves into something that the next generation desperately needs. May we all be blessed to get the opportunity to age because it isn’t guaranteed.

People without college degrees saved us from a Kamala presidency. This is yet more reason why in most cases you shouldn't go to college and you shouldn't send your kids to college. The vast majority of people don't need it and in fact will be harmed by the experienced -- harmed financially, mentally, and spiritually.

I have no degree and I have never once in my life regretted my decision to skip college. I thank God that I didn't go. I don't know that I'd be where I am today if I'd spent the first half of my twenties in an indoctrination camp.
