The smartest way of using a Trump account for your kids:

1 - Contribute as much as you can every year when they are growing up

2 - At the age of 18, it automatically becomes a Traditional IRA

At that point, you can start converting it to a Roth IRA

Part of the converted amounts (the investment gains) are subject to taxes, but you can stagger the conversion over a few years to keep it tax-efficient

3 - Now, you unlock two big benefits:

First, the amount converted is something your kids can access 5 years after conversion both tax-free and penalty-free... at any time, for any reason

Secondly, your children now have a massive base in a Roth IRA at a very young age that keeps growing and compounding

Left alone, even with no new dollars after age 18, your kids Roth IRA can compound to 8-figures by the time they retire

And since it's now in a Roth IRA, they would owe no taxes

LeBron James turns 42 in December, just committed to a 24th NBA season, and is training with an exercise most players half his age would fall off. Kneeling on an inflated rubber ball, pressing dumbbells overhead. The difficulty is the point: it hammers the one system aging destroys first.

Here's the physics. A stability ball gives you two shifting contact points on a surface that rolls in every direction. Adding dumbbells overhead raises your center of mass by more than a foot, turning your body into an inverted pendulum. A 2-degree lean that means nothing on flat ground becomes a torque your muscles have to catch immediately or you're on the floor.

Catching it happens below consciousness. Stretch receptors in your muscles detect the drift and fire corrections through spinal reflex loops in under 100 milliseconds. Conscious reaction takes about a quarter second. One set on that ball is thousands of micro-corrections, all running through the reflex circuitry, none through the thinking brain.

That circuitry is exactly what age attacks. Fast-twitch muscle fibers atrophy decades before slow-twitch ones. Proprioception, your body's sense of where it is in space, degrades alongside them. It's why elderly people fall, and why aging athletes lose the first step while their bench press barely moves. The strength stays. The correction speed goes.

Kareem retired at 42 after 20 seasons. Vince Carter stretched to 43 in a bench role. LeBron just averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds in season 23, then raised it to 23.2 in the playoffs.

Aging takes your balance years before it takes your strength. The longest career in NBA history belongs to a guy hammering the thing that quits first.

Most people throw away the one thing that can grow an entirely new blueberry bush.

That tiny blueberry in your fridge contains dozens of seeds that can become a fruit-producing plant with a little patience.

Here's how:

Mash a ripe blueberry in a small glass with water, separate the tiny seeds, plant them in moist acidic potting soil, lightly cover them, then place a clear plastic bag over the pot to create a mini greenhouse. Keep it warm and bright, and you may see seedlings begin to emerge within a couple of weeks.

Blueberries love acidic soil, consistent moisture (not soggy roots), and at least 6 hours of sun each day.

One important reality check: growing from seed is a long game. It can take 3–4 years or longer before you harvest a meaningful crop, and because blueberries don't grow true to seed, the fruit may not be identical to the berry you started with.

If you enjoy gardening, though, there's something incredibly satisfying about turning a single piece of fruit into a thriving bush that could produce blueberries for years to come.

Sometimes the most rewarding garden projects don't begin at the nursery... they begin in your kitchen.

🚨#BREAKING: A doctor in Arizona will face NO CRIMINALS CHARGES after he pronounced an 18-month-old baby as DECEASED and left him in a freezing hospital morgue for FIVE AND A HALF HOURS...

...BUT THE BABY WAS STILL ALIVE.

Baby Vincent was pulled from a backyard pool where doctors at Mercy Gilbert worked on him, and at 6:20 p.m., Dr. Aryan Toosi pronounced him de*d.

His parents said goodbye to their baby.

...but then a nurse said, "I have a pulse."

Police officers standing there heard the baby GASP.

Not once. Multiple times over the course of an hour.

And when an officer tried to tell the doctor the child might still be alive?

Per the report, the doctor "arrogantly" told him:

"I'm the doctor. I have the medical degree. I went to medical school for a reason. Let me do my thing."

So they put that living, breathing baby in the "cold room" morgue!!!!!

The room is kept at 36 degrees.

And there he stayed... FOR FIVE AND A HALF HOURS.

It wasn't until the medical examiner's transport team who showed up near MIDNIGHT to move a "body" and found the baby STILL BREATHING.

Little baby Vincent ended up surviving.

But sadly, he suffered serious brain damage, and his family says he'll need care for the rest of his life.

A baby was left to freeze in a morgue while he was still alive... because a doctor was too arrogant to listen to a nurse and 2 police officers.

And as of right now, that doctor faces NO criminal charges.

THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!

This might be the wildest thing to happen in payments all year.

140 companies that compete on everything just agreed to back the same dollar. That same day, Circle fell 16%. Those two facts are the same fact.

A stablecoin issuer takes your dollars, parks them in Treasuries, and keeps the interest. Circle earned around $1.7B in 2024 doing exactly that, on roughly $44B in reserves. The coin costs you nothing. The yield on the reserves is the whole business.

The model already had a crack in it. Circle paid Coinbase $908M in 2024, about 54 cents of every dollar it earned, simply to be the place people park USDC. Coinbase doesn't issue the coin or manage the reserves. It still made more from USDC last year than Circle did. The distributor out-earned the issuer.

OUSD is 140 distributors staring at that math and asking why they pay an issuer at all. No mint fees, no redemption fees, and most of the reserve income routes back to the companies moving the coin instead of the one that printed it. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Stripe, BlackRock, Coinbase, Google, and a wall of banks make up the distribution layer itself. They just built the vehicle that lets them keep the yield.

The structure is the smart part. An independent company runs it, governed by the partners, with no single issuer in control. Facebook tried this in 2019 with Libra and regulators ended it fast, because one company steering global money is one easy target. Spread the identical idea across 140 owners with nobody in charge, and there's nothing single left to aim at.

Circle's chart already named the loser. The float was always the prize. The companies that decide where the coin lives just stopped paying rent on it.

Vibe coders are getting sued.

People are shipping apps with real users and skipping the boring stuff that kills them.

A 20+ year dev shared the pre-launch checklist every AI builder needs.

I added what I learned after shipping 60+ apps at the agency.

Don't skip this:

1. Protect yourself, not just your app. The moment you collect user data you're in legal territory (GDPR, CCPA). Have a privacy policy. Know where user data lives.

2. Row Level Security. Without RLS, anyone can open DevTools and read your entire database. Supabase → Auth → Policies. Zero policies means your app is naked. 5 min to fix.

3. Test the failure path, not just the happy path. Wrong password 5x. Reset for an email that doesn't exist. Verification link clicked twice. Signup with an existing email. Catches 80% of auth bugs.

4. Security baseline in 2 min. Prompt your AI: "Review my app as a security specialist and make sure I have strong security headers and a solid baseline security posture."

5. OWASP. Prompt: "Review my app against OWASP standards and highlight vulnerabilities." This is where SQL injection, XSS and auth bugs actually get caught.

6. Client-side validation is UX, not security. Attackers disable JS and hit your API directly. Validate again on the server. Every time.

7. AI code leaks data in 3 spots: .env values in the frontend, API responses returning too much, secrets in logs. Prompt: "Check my app for credential or sensitive data leaks in frontend or API routes."

8. API keys in the frontend means game over. If it's in the browser, assume it's already taken. Move it server-side or proxy it.

9. Rate limits before someone burns your API bill. Cap every endpoint hitting a paid API. I've watched a Supabase bill jump from $20 to $200 in a day.

10. CAPTCHA on public forms (Cloudflare Turnstile is free) plus CORS locked to your domain. 10 min, kills bot floods.

11. Error messages that don't leak. "User not found", not "SELECT * FROM users failed". Log full errors server-side, show users generic messages.

Build fast. Just don't ship naked.

Populism is not just a political phenomenon. It also influences which information gets disseminated widely, based on speaker popularity.

A senior Google engineer just dropped a 19-page PDF on "Loop Engineering" for LLM and agentic systems.

Act → Observe → Learn → Repeat

• Act: the LLM proposes a code transformation (tile this loop, parallelize that one).

• Observe: a compiler runs it and reports back - is it valid? faster? slower? by how much?

• Learn: the LLM reads that feedback and adjusts its next move.

• Repeat until it stops finding improvements.

The agent gets smarter purely from grounded feedback inside its own context window.

This 19-page PDF totally changed the way I’m building agentic systems today.

Read it now, then explore the article below.

"You shouldn't be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents."

One post. 6.5M views in a week.

In this talk he walks the real stack: the agent loop, a verifier that fails its own work and retries, and a loop that rewrites the agent while he sleeps.

Worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.
