@friendlyfoo_ @SpaceX @LAGovJeffLandry We don’t mind. Bet they are good in a gravy.

This is the way.

My son brought home a 60-page packet of AP Chemistry homework over the weekend.

He looked stressed.

I told him stress is just a byproduct of poor resource allocation.

I took the packet, scanned it as a high-priority PDF, and opened a Jira ticket.

I assigned it to our Tier 1 offshore support team in Manila.

I flagged the ticket as a mission-critical compliance audit for a new chemical supply chain initiative.

The CEO wants us pivoting to sustainable plastics, so it tracked.

Within 4 hours, a team of 6 engineers had completely solved the packet.

They even provided a beautifully formatted slide deck explaining covalent bonds.

I handed it back to my son and told him this is what leadership looks like.

My wife asked why our 16-year-old was presenting corporate deliverables for a high school chemistry class.

I told her that rote memorization is a legacy process.

I explained that I'm preparing him for a macro-management ecosystem.

She said he needs to learn the material himself.

I told her that knowing the material is the lowest form of intellectual leverage.

Owning the infrastructure that knows the material is where the margins are.

I then realized my wife was generating too much friction in my personal operational workflow.

So I opened another Jira ticket.

I instructed the Manila team to scrape her Pinterest boards and automatically purchase her a moderately priced gift every 14 days.

I categorized the expense under client retention.

Our marriage has never been stronger.

She thinks I'm incredibly thoughtful and attentive.

The offshore team thinks she's a high-value stakeholder in our logistics division.

I'm currently paying 3 guys in Manila to successfully execute my familial duties.

The total cost is roughly $400 a month, fully subsidized by the IT miscellaneous budget.

My son is going to be valedictorian.

The chunky wood butcher block in 1980s kitchens disappeared because of a government recommendation that had zero science behind it.

In the early 90s, food microbiologist Dean Cliver asked the USDA for the evidence behind their advice to ditch wood for plastic. They admitted they had none. So he ran the test himself.

He contaminated wood and plastic boards with E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. Three minutes later, 99.9% of the bacteria on the wood was dead. The wood's pores pull bacteria beneath the surface, where they can't survive.

Plastic went the other way. Left overnight at room temperature, the bacteria multiplied. And knife-scarred plastic was nearly impossible to sanitize, even in a dishwasher. Every cut creates a groove where bacteria hide from your sponge.

The thickness wasn't decoration either. Those blocks were end grain, wood fibers standing vertical, so the knife slides between fibers instead of cutting across them and the surface heals itself. That construction only holds together as a thick slab. Slice it thin and it cracks.

Cliver repeated the results across nine hardwoods, maple to walnut. Same outcome every time.

The butcher block was self-sanitizing and built to outlive the house. America threw it out for the board that grows bacteria overnight.

STUDY FINDS 96% OF ALPHA-GAL SYNDROME PATIENTS DECLARED COMPLETE REMISSION AFTER EAR ACUPUNCTURE

Nearly EVERYONE in the study could EAT MEAT AGAIN within weeks of undergoing Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment.

There were ZERO adverse reactions.

April 1, 1989.
Living Colour walks onto SNL and doesn’t just play — they take over.
Vernon Reid’s guitar is pure controlled chaos. Funky, aggressive, and sharp as a blade. “Cult of Personality” already hit hard on record, but this live version feels like the band is trying to burn the studio down in the best way possible.
Most bands get polite applause on late-night TV.
Living Colour got a reaction that felt closer to a mosh pit.
Still one of the most electric SNL performances of that entire era.
Anyone else think this moment doesn’t get talked about enough?

🚨 BREAKING: This week the American Academy of Pediatrics — the group that shapes the childhood vaccine schedule — told the country it's "neutral."

Their words: "we go by science, not politics."

So I pulled their tax records. Here's who actually pays them..

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) runs on ~$138 MILLION a year.

Its corporate "partners" — $50,000+ donors — include the vaccine makers themselves:
Pfizer, Merck, Moderna, Sanofi.

Source: their own IRS Form 990

On one AAP COVID-19 vaccine policy, the science outlet Undark found 9 of 16 committee members had taken money from vaccine manufacturers.

The published guideline said: "no potential conflicts."

9 of 16. They wrote "none."

And this isn't unique to the AAP — it's the pattern.

Peer-reviewed, JAMA Internal Medicine (2018): 57% of authors of clinical guidelines for high-revenue drugs had financial ties to the makers — and 1 in 4
payments were undisclosed.

The science documents the conflict of interest.

The AAP doesn't just take the money — it lobbies.

It keeps a full-time, four-person federal lobbying team and reported ~$789,000 in lobbying in a single quarter of 2026.

Ask why a "neutral" group of children's doctors needs its own lobby shop.

Same playbook, different drug.

AAP's 2023 childhood obesity guidelines urged doctors to consider weight-loss drugs for kids. 10 of the authors had taken money from those drug companies.

Disclosed in the guideline? No.

In 2011 the Gates Foundation paid the AAP $1,419,200 — in the Foundation's own words — "to organize and facilitate immunization education and advocacy
efforts among pediatricians."

Paid to advocate.

Why it matters: in 1986, Congress shielded vaccine makers from most lawsuits.

Since then a federal program has paid ~$5.5 BILLION for vaccine injuries (HRSA).

The makers are protected. The group promoting the schedule takes their money.

The question every parent deserves answered: is the group that calls itself "neutral" being paid by the companies that profit from the schedule?

The documents say yes.

If you want the documents mainstream accounts won't show you, follow
@therealisticrn.

I'm a nurse. I bring receipts, not fear.

This is exactly the problem. Every teacher before you also gave them the answers. How about teaching them how to think?

If you only watch one video today, PLEASE watch this.

A high-school English teacher breaks down crying on camera because the high-school SENIORS in his class cannot write a SINGLE SENTENCE.

"I have SENIORS that cannot read. I have SENIORS that cannot write."

My gosh...
