One of the most overlooked forms of wealth is having complete ownership of your time.

Waking up and knowing nothing about your day will be decided by someone else is priceless.

This is what happens when organizations use termination as a first resort instead of a last one. They skip the process, skip the paper trail, skip the basic human decency of telling someone they have a problem before deciding to remove them, and then act surprised when it ends in litigation.

Guys. Can we just go back to humans creating posters on Canva.

I can’t do these AI posters anymore…. please stop. Honestly.

Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.

Try to smile without moving any muscles in your face.

Physically, it is impossible.

But by practicing this, you may learn a lot about how to generate joy and love at will.

And how to tap into the emotional body that precedes our physical body.

Try it now. How does it feel?

Toru Miyazaki gave 11 cats with advanced kidney disease an experimental injection. 15 others didn’t get it. A year later, 9 of the 11 treated cats were alive. Only 3 of the 15 untreated cats survived. He just filed for approval, and the drug fixes a defect only cats have.

Most cats die from one thing: their kidneys fail. By age 10, 4 in 10 cats already have chronic kidney disease, and by age 15, the rate doubles to 8 in 10. Once diagnosed, a cat has about 2 years left.

The reason kidney disease hits cats so hard is a broken protein in their blood. All mammals carry a protein that helps the kidneys clean out waste. In humans and dogs, the protein floats freely and goes to work when the kidneys are in trouble. In cats, it stays stuck to another protein and can’t get loose. So the waste piles up, and the kidneys eventually give out.

Miyazaki originally found the protein in 1999, back when he was at the University of Tokyo. He figured out the cat-specific glitch in 2015. The paper he published in the Veterinary Journal in February laid out the trial. The injection is a working version of the missing protein. His company, the Institute for AIM Medicine, filed the approval paperwork with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture on April 24, 2026. If the review clears, the drug goes on sale in spring 2027.

The 30-year lifespan figure in the tweet is Miyazaki’s own projection of what cats could reach without kidney disease. The trial only ran a year, and the average cat today lives 15. Most die from the same disease this injection treats.

The research almost died in 2020. After running out of funding during COVID, Miyazaki went public. Cat owners across Japan responded by sending in 300 million yen, around 2 million dollars total. He resigned from the University of Tokyo and worked on the drug full time. The treatment in front of regulators today exists because cat lovers refused to let the research die.

A neuroscientist strapped 256 sensors to people's heads and watched their brains go almost completely dark the moment they switched from writing to typing.

Same word, same person, same brain. Writing it by hand lit up the entire cortex. Memory, motor control, sensory processing, all firing together in a synchronized pattern that spread across the whole brain. Typing the same word shut almost all of it down.

The reason is something most people have never thought about. Every letter you write by hand is a different shape. Your brain has to solve a slightly different spatial problem thousands of times per page. Your fingers, your wrist, your eyes, and your motor cortex are all coordinating in real time. That coordination is what builds the memory.

Typing removes all of that. Every key is the same motion. The brain has almost nothing to solve, so it barely turns on.

Now here's the part that should bother you. 40% of all work-related ChatGPT messages are writing tasks. 75% of knowledge workers use AI to write for them. We went from handwriting (full brain activation) to typing (almost none) to AI doing the writing entirely (zero cognitive input). Three steps in 40 years. Each one stripped out more of the process that made you actually understand what you were producing.

Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, Norway. She proved that the effort during input IS the learning. Remove the effort, the encoding disappears. There's no shortcut around it.

Every AI writing tool on the market optimizes for speed. Her data says your brain never cared about speed. It cares how many problems it had to solve along the way.

In Kruger National Park, South Africa, veteran ranger Sipho Nkosi suffered a heart attack while on solo patrol. His vehicle was found empty, and search teams began looking for him.

What the park’s remote trail cameras revealed broke the hearts of everyone who saw the footage.

An old bull elephant — known to rangers as “Mnumzane” (Zulu for “Sir”) — had found Sipho’s body. For three full days and nights, the elephant refused to leave. He stood guard, gently touching the ranger with his trunk, chasing away hyenas and jackals that came too close, and even covering parts of the body with branches and leaves.

On the third night, the elephant was still there — visibly grieving, swaying slowly beside his fallen friend. Only when the full recovery team arrived with vehicles did Mnumzane finally step back, watching solemnly as they carried Sipho away.

Park officials later confirmed that Sipho had rescued this same elephant as a calf years earlier after poachers killed his mother. The elephant had never forgotten.

One colleague who viewed the footage whispered:

“He didn’t come to say goodbye. He came to make sure no one disrespected his brother.”

Mnumzane still visits the exact spot regularly. Rangers now leave fresh water and fruit there in honor of both.

Kristen Stewart wants to direct another movie by the end of the year "and put it on f---ing YouTube."

"Whatever money we make from that will be what I spend on my next one and there will be a trickle-down effect. I just don’t want to talk to these bros anymore ... I love Hollywood, I love big movies, [but] I don’t think I’d be very good at making them. I want to make weird s---. And I’m fully OK doing that in a kind of insulated, bizarre way. But I don’t want to do the thing where I wait five years for someone to give me $1 million to make something. I’m going to make it f---ing tomorrow." https://t.co/WHK5J1jGVF
