Caffeine + L-theanine + magnesium glycinate might be the closest thing to the limitless pill

What do you think existed before the Big Bang?

A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him.

For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25.

Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely.

Here's where it gets interesting.

In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past.

Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him.

Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it.

Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube.

He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium.

Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius.

They're both wrong. It was a receipt.

He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.

The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.

@lizzkelly7 The question really becomes: is there a better way?

🌍✨ This stunning image, captured during the Artemis II mission, offers a breathtaking view of Earth from space. From this unique vantage point, the planet’s natural curvature is clearly visible, leaving no doubt about its true spherical shape. The horizon gently arcs beneath the glow of the rising sun, creating a powerful and awe-inspiring scene.

☀️🌊 Sunlight reflects beautifully across vast oceans, while soft, swirling clouds stretch across continents in intricate patterns. The deep blackness of space surrounds the Earth, making the vibrant blues and whites stand out even more dramatically. It’s a reminder of how incredible and delicate our planet truly is.

🚀 This perspective from space allows us to appreciate Earth in a way that’s impossible from the ground. Seeing the full curve of the planet highlights not only its shape but also its beauty and unity.

Key Highlights:
🌍 Clearly visible curvature of Earth from space
☀️ Stunning sunrise illuminating the horizon

Your kid's piano teacher was reshaping their brain. A Harvard-led team tracked children from age 6 to 9 and found that kids who practiced an instrument at least 2.5 hours a week grew the corpus callosum (the cable connecting the left and right halves of the brain) by about 25% in the region that handles movement planning. Kids who practiced less or quit showed zero growth there.

USC ran a separate study starting in 2012 that followed children from low-income LA neighborhoods. One group learned violin through the LA Philharmonic's youth orchestra program. A second did soccer. A third had no structured after-school program. Two years in, only the music group showed brain changes: stronger white-matter connectivity, faster maturation of auditory processing, and greater activation in networks involved in decision-making and impulse control. The soccer and no-program groups looked the same on brain scans.

A randomized trial at the University of Toronto tested 144 six-year-olds assigned to keyboard lessons, voice lessons, drama, or nothing for a full school year. The music kids gained about 7 IQ points on average. Drama and no-lessons kids gained 4-5. That roughly 3-point gap showed up across every subtest, including reading and math.

Now the language side. Bilingual kids outperform monolingual kids on task-switching tests (jumping between different sets of rules quickly), and it holds regardless of which second language they speak. Brain scans of nearly 1,300 children and young adults from a 2021 Georgetown and University of Reading study showed that bilinguals kept more grey matter (the layer where the brain's processing cells live) as they grew up than kids who spoke one language.

The long game is where this gets serious. A 2025 Monash University study of 10,893 Australians over 70 found that people who regularly played an instrument had 35% lower odds of developing dementia. Bilingualism shows an even sharper effect. Studies across India, Canada, and the US consistently find that bilingual adults develop dementia symptoms 4 to 5 years later than monolingual adults. A 2024 door-to-door survey of 1,234 people over 60 in Bengaluru, India, found dementia in 4.9% of monolinguals and just 0.4% of bilinguals.

Both piano and a second language work through a similar mechanism. They force the brain to manage competing systems at once, left hand versus right hand, one language versus another. That constant switching strengthens the frontal regions responsible for planning, focus, and filtering distractions, building what neurologists call cognitive reserve: a buffer that lets the brain keep working even as age-related damage accumulates.

Those parents running their kids between piano on Tuesdays and Mandarin on Thursdays were basically running a two-front neuroplasticity program without knowing it.

Get Ready.. Prepare yourself to witness history unfold right before your eyes! 🚀

For the first time ever, the entire Orientale Basin, a massive and mysterious region on the Moon’s surface, has been fully captured thanks to the efforts of NASA’s Artemis II crew. This remarkable achievement marks a huge step forward in space exploration, revealing a breathtaking new view of our celestial neighbor. The clarity and detail in this historic image are absolutely stunning!

🌕🛰️ As we move further into space, it reminds us of the endless wonders still waiting to be discovered.

🚨 UNITED PASSENGER CATCHES INSANE NASA ROCKET LAUNCH FROM PLANE WINDOW — FLIGHT ATTENDANT LOSES IT MID-AIR

A United flight just turned into a front-row seat to history.

A woman captures the exact moment NASA’s Artemis II rocket launches… straight from her window at 30,000 feet.

And then you hear the flight attendant:

“15 years of flying… I’ve been praying to see something like this.”

• Rocket blasting through the clouds
• Crew calling it a “once in a lifetime” moment

He said he flew to Florida multiple times just to see a launch…

Canceled. Every time.

And then this happens midair.

What are the chances you randomly look out your window… and see history taking off?

[Louis Caverly @LouCaverly]

@brennanjp Agreed. And there are a sugars that are lower on the glycemic index as an alternative to sugar cane. We are using low amounts of it in a beverage release this year.

The secret of life is to approach it playfully.

Everything can be approached with a sense of lightness, joy, and ease.

Doesn't matter what you're doing. Working at a cafe. Meeting someone new. Going out to dinner. Taking a work call. Writing a tweet. Going on a crazy travel adventure.

The illusion is that things are meant to be taken seriously.

This morning, I caught myself racing against time.

I had a friend arriving in Thailand.

I wanted to work out, jump in the ocean, and get coffee before he got here.

I was stressed and tense — battling against reality instead of flowing with it.

But everything changed with one mindset shift.

It's what I have tattooed on my arm:

"It's all play."

I decided to see the entire situation as a scene out of a movie to experience — rather than something to control and fight.

Ripping my motorbike through town, jumping in the ocean, and grabbing a cappuccino became an electric experience to enjoy rather than something to rush through.

My friend arrived, and the rest of the day flowed magically because my vibrational state shifted from tension to flow.

So whenever you're rushing, tense, or way too serious — a red flag should go up in your mind.

Life is not meant to be taken so seriously.

Reality is not meant to be controlled and fought against.

This is meant to be a game, a movie, an exploration in consciousness, and a journey your soul chose to experience through the character of you.

Sink into that state of awareness and watch your life play out more magically than you could have ever controlled from a tense, rigid mind.

It's all play.

[klöss @kloss_xyz]

imagine you’re Travis Kalanick

you built Uber from nothing into a $70 billion company and changed how every city on earth moves

then in the worst three weeks of your life, family tragedies hit, and five of your investors hand you a letter demanding you resign

so you step down

the board replaces you, your successor and board sell off the self driving division you created, the thing you believed was Uber’s entire future

gone

$4 billion to Aurora

the mainstream media tries to write your obituary: toxic culture, bad leadership, and a cautionary tale

silicon valley moves on
as they always do

but you don’t

you don’t really forget

you go quiet, completely quiet

you take $150 million and buy a ghost kitchen company called CloudKitchens

you raise over a billion dollars, hit a $15 billion valuation, build a company with thousands of employees

and nobody even knows the name
eight years in stealth, employees aren’t even allowed to put your company on their LinkedIn

then today you rename the company Atoms, and it’s not a kitchen company anymore

it’s a robotics company

1. food
2. mining
3. transport

your first move?

acquiring Pronto

the autonomous vehicle startup

built by Anthony Levandowski, the same engineer you originally swooped away from Google to build Uber’s self driving program

oh and he went on to deploy 100+ autonomous trucks for one of the largest materials companies on earth

now he’s coming back to work with you
and the reports say Uber itself

the same company that pushed you out, is now backing you to go after self driving harder than Waymo

the guy they removed is the guy they end up needing

poetic justice

your framework aka everything in civilization is mined or grown, manufactured and moved

you call it the golden age

your manifesto ends with three words:

“I never left”

eight years of silence

then this

but here’s what people keep getting wrong about your situation

everyone wants to call it a comeback or a revenge story

it’s neither

you just went quiet and built for eight years while everyone who wrote you off had stopped paying attention

that’s not revenge, that’s just what true builder obsession looks like

most founders would’ve stayed bitter

most would’ve written a book and done a podcast tour, most would’ve taken the $2.5 billion in shares and disappeared off to a beach or Epstein’s island

you didn’t do any of that
you just kept building

and now the same people who pushed you out need you again

so whether you love him or hate him

the most dangerous person in any room is the one who goes quiet yet never stops building

karma is real

welcome back Travis
