Hopelessness happens only if we accept there is no hope. I have hope believe in the power we each have & will fight until my last breath for a hopeful, beautiful & thriving world for our next generation. No one will fight this fight for you. You have to. Each one of us must.

China knows exactly what this does. Their domestic version of TikTok caps kids under 14 at 40 minutes a day, locks access between 6am and 10pm, and swaps the entire feed to educational content. Science, history, museums.

The version they export to everyone else? Unlimited, unrestricted, pure dopamine on demand.

When kids in the US and China were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, the number one answer in America was influencer. In China it was astronaut.

Macron calls this a cognitive war. Export what dulls young minds and keep what makes them intelligent for your own population.

This is the most effective weapon ever deployed against a generation’s ability to think.

⚠️ Update: It has now been 24 hours since #Iran implemented a nationwide internet shutdown, with connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels. The ongoing digital blackout violates the fundamental rights and liberties of Iranians while masking regime violence ⏱

⚠️ Confirmed: Live metrics show #Iran is now in the midst of a nationwide internet blackout; the incident follows a series of escalating digital censorship measures targeting protests across the country and hinders the public's right to communicate at a critical moment 📉

A newly created Polymarket account invested over $30,000 yesterday in Maduro's exit. The US then took Maduro into custody overnight, and the trader profited $400,000 in less than 24 hours. Insider trading is not only allowed on prediction markets; it's encouraged.

A friend of mine used to say: "Being humble, hard-working, consistent, and kind is an awfully tough combination to beat."

The older I get, the more I realize how rare that is to find and just how right he was. Be that person.

There's dark talent around the world, from the Midwest to the Middle East. Backing this talent is the right thing to do morally and the smart thing to do economically.

One of the most important apps on my phone is @BeMyEyes which connects visually impaired people with sighted volunteers. If you’re willing and able to help or know someone who could use the assistance, download the app. Happy to share my experiences…

We could one day print copies of your organs, using your own cells, thanks to a new 3D printing technique that uses light and sound. Such organs would let doctors test out a variety of drugs.

We used to say Brexit was like watching your local library being burned down by people who can’t read and now it has actually happened.

No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

I always think of one woman, when gymnastics is on, now 18 years since she died aged 46.

One of the most talented gymnasts and courageous persons; she was a member of the Olympic Order, despite never competing at the Olympics.

Her name was Elena Mukhina, one of my heroes. /1
