I'm obsessed with @uniqlo ever since my luggage got lost in a trip to Tokyo and i had to buy a completely new wardrobe

Amazing basics across their airism and heattech lines, the former great for hot Austin Summer, the latter great for lake Tahoe winters

Fabric technology is just insane!

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

Sky full of stars.

Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.

The sun was free. They sold you SPF 50 and a vitamin D deficiency.

Sleep was free. They sold you an app, a pill, and a wearable that tells you your sleep was bad.

Walking was free. They sold you a treadmill, a fitness tracker, and a £180 pair of trainers.

Fasting was free. They sold you meal replacement shakes and the anxiety that skipping breakfast would wreck your metabolism.

Cold water was free. They sold you a £3,000 plunge barrel and a podcast episode about it.

Silence was free. They sold you a meditation app with a premium tier.

Animal fat was cheap. They sold you seed oils, then supplements to replace what the animal fat contained.

Tallow was cheap. They sold you a seventeen-step skincare routine and a clinical trial proving your face needs ceramides.

Meat was cheap. They are currently selling you the idea that you shouldn't eat it.

The 20th century removed access to everything the body needs to function.

The 21st century is selling it back, one subscription at a time.

Your great-grandmother had none of the products.

She had all of the things.

On Scott Adams.

A man finds, to his astonishment, that he exists. After the elation of childhood wears off, he asks, who am I, why am I here, how does this work? These are hard questions, so after a brief struggle, he selects a readymade answer and goes about the motions of life.

Scott Adams was not such a man. He was a live player, ever curious, intent on figuring out this simulation that he found himself in. From first principles, Scott unraveled, understood, and ultimately controlled his own reality. He hacked himself with affirmations, others with persuasion, the world with simultaneous sips. He explained people as moist robots, two movies happening on one screen, his world as Gods’ debris. He carved a personal mission to “be useful,” and made us all better writers, public speakers, and persuaders. He preached the footwear theory of motivation, the Adams Law of slow-moving disasters, the skill stack, systems over goals, and of course, the Dilbert Principle.

Besides cartooning, philosophizing, and teaching, Scott rose to the occasion and displayed, “the one virtue that cannot be faked” - courage. Scott had the courage to speak honestly as he saw it - about Trump, about his nation, and about his time, even though it cost him friends, audience, money, and his ticket to polite society. Scott had true courage, the kind that makes you unpopular, the kind that is always and everywhere in short supply,

At the end, as any hacker of reality, Scott covered all of his bases - he left as a Buddhist, a Christian, and a player in the Simulation.

Scott, we didn’t get enough time with you, but you were a mentor and a marvel. You were useful and you were courageous. You were incompressible and indivisible. One of a kind, and generous with your drawing, writing, and speaking. Unlike your squealing critics in the chattering class, you will be read generations from now.

On this earth there are many long-lived hells but no lasting heaven. Each heaven must be created and nurtured, ex-nihilo, from mind and from mud. Scott, you created a small heaven for us all, and to a larger heaven you go.

A man finds, to his astonishment, that he no longer exists. He asks why, what it was for, and how will the new reality work? When the rest of us get there, we’ll find Scott, ever useful, ready to explain, having figured it all out.

Notes:
• First line paraphrasing Schopenhauer.
• Courage quote via Taleb.

I finally read this because I saw about 40 billion posts claiming it was one of the most insightful things ever written, and it turns out that it’s exactly what I assumed, which is a collection of basic self-help cliches

The game theory here is that as the US continues to spiral further into debt the currency will hyperinflate as the FED prints more money. This will lead to a rise in socialist politics designed to redistribute the ever growing wealth inequality.

The combination of these two factors will drive people to park their increasingly worthless dollars in assets: real estate, stocks, equity, precious metals, bitcoin, pokemon cards, DDR5 ram, RTX 5090s, etc.

While the dollar depreciates these assets appreciate.

One consideration is that with the rise of socialist politics asset seizure and theft will increase so some people may park their wealth in harder to seize assets like Crypto.

Then when the new system kicks in, whether it be a return to American excellence, or China taking over, you can sell your assets for whatever the currency is at the time of the new world.

That's the plan on paper.

Elon Musk on where people should invest:

"I don't really buy stocks. I don't look for things to invest in. I just try to build things and then there happens to be stock of the company that I built, but I don't have like a portfolio or anything; Google is gonna be pretty valuable in the future. They've laid the ground work for an immense amount of value creation from an AI standpoint. Nvidia is obvious at this point. There's an argument that companies that do AI and robotics, and maybe spaceflight, are going to be overwhelmingly almost all of the value."

What amazing fortune
To be 1 of the 100 billion homo sapiens sapiens that have ever lived
And to be alive at this the moment of the great inflection
Not to be 1 of 50 billion that died of mosquito borne disease
Nor to be 1 of 30 billion that died before age 5
Nor 1 of 10 billion killed in an act of violence
Instead to witness this ahistorical moment, to contribute in whatever small way in our outward expansion and proliferation,
To stand on the cusp of history:
What amazing great good fortune

When Charlie Munger was in 30s
-his wife divorced him, took his house
-he went bankrupt
-his 9YO son died of lukemia in his arm
-he lost an eye, docs removed his eye w/o anesthesia
-he lived in a dingy apartment and drove a run down car.

Yet, he didn’t let hardship define his life and went to become one of the most successful investors ever.

No matter how deep we fall, we never fall far off from the hand of God. Never give up anon!

@CFCDaily Now you know our difficulties, despite that we keep watching and supporting our beautiful club Chelsea. Daily, much love from Myanmar (Burma ).

[Nathan Ruser @Nrg8000]

A Burmese man deported from Thailand and forcibly conscripted into the Junta army defected to the Resistance this week. It is a crucial reminder that the Burmese junta has been systematically conscripting any migrant deported from Thailand.
Effectively a death sentence.
