I would like to be taught how to have unread notifications.

@dvorahfr We will pause moving forward with this until further consideration

Idea: Grok-powered “Echo Lineage” — auto banners on copies linking to the real original + visual family-tree + optional revenue share to the first creator.

How do we make originality win?

Stolen valor plagues X - fix this @elonmusk @nikitabier

Original: Dec 23, 2025 → 7.7M views
Copy: Feb 17, 2026 → 3M views

Not a quote tweet. Just straight up theft to farm millions more impressions off someone else’s work.

This steals revenue from original creators under X’s ads revenue share — hurting X’s own creator-economy bottom line.

There are 9,780 organizations in the United States that bill Medicaid under code T1019, Personal Care Services.

The top 1% of them, just 98 entities, collected $30.4 billion.
That’s 42.5% of all T1019 spending nationally.
Nine of those entities crossed the billion-dollar threshold individually.
The top 20 alone absorbed $28 billion.

And the geographic concentration will stop you cold: 17 of the top 20 are in New York State. Seven of them are in Brooklyn.

This is not a story about healthcare.
This is a story about industrial-scale wealth extraction from a system designed to serve the most vulnerable Americans.

The elderly.
The disabled.
The homebound.
And the near-complete absence of anyone overseeing the money.

Constantly refreshing your inbox is just vaping for the corporate soul. You break your flow for a quick hit, stumble on a message with ambiguous tone (are they mad??), and lose the next hour panic-decoding the subtext instead of doing your actual job.

Fed Governor Stephen Miran said the central bank should lower interest rates by more than one percentage point in 2026.

After writing books like God’s Debris that championed skepticism and New Atheism, Scott Adams has accepted Christ—w/ his last breath and still with skepticism 🤯. It doesn’t sit well with me, but God offers that grace to some but definitely not all.

Stage four cancer hit me hard six years ago and crept back up a few times since. I know the fight.

It’s terrifying that the mortality rate was nearly double at PE-backed centers (8.1%) compared to independent ones (4.9%).

Even worse, PE centers had a higher 'failure to rescue' rate (5.9% vs 3.4%).

Thank you for this work @BullMooseProj @AidenBuzzetti

We just released a report on private equity rollups in cancer care across America.

The results:

✅ PE-acquired oncology practices increase prices by more than 16%.
✅PE-backed medical platforms have paid $113 million in fines.

And much more.

My friend @JaceYarbrough has officially launched his campaign for Congress. Many thanks to all who have made this possible, especially the donors and grassroots folks who urged him to run with their support.

[Emma Morris @EmmaJoNYC]

I thought he was a visionary consultant with experience in international business worth multi-million dollar retainer fees.

And no mass immigration needed. Quite the opposite.

Pro tip: You don't have to do the media interview. You don't have to talk to anyone. They will say, "We are going to write about you whether you cooperate or not." Who cares. Far worse than some hit piece (which don't even work anymore) is hanging yourself with your own words.
