This is dramatically more than any President in American history.

Just days after scientists found that bee venom can kill cancer cells, the Trump administration is set to close the nation’s primary bee research laboratory.

"President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

The United States of America is on the verge of achieving pure idiocracy.

This should be making international headlines. Every alarm bell known to mankind should be ringing. This is dangerous and genuinely catastrophic

If you had $100 in 2021, it was only worth $80 by 2026, due to the declining dollar.

That’s the biggest drop for any five-year period since 2005, per NBC

“Water, soil, and oxygen should not be infinitely accessible. They are assets that should be included in global economic balance sheets.”

This is not satire. The World Economic Forum wants to monetise breathing.

BREAKING: Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett just said the quiet part out loud.

“If the war were to be extended it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy at all. It would hurt consumers…but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

They don’t care about us at all.

For 99% of human history, the paranoid guy who couldn't sleep because he heard rustling outside the cave was the one who survived the night. The chill guy who couldn't be bothered got eaten by a leopard.

Natural selection rewarded hypervigilance, high cortisol, and an overdeveloped threat radar because in 10,000 BC, a false alarm cost you nothing but a missed nap while a missed threat cost you your life. So the genes that made it through are the ones wired to assume the worst.

You can see the same pattern everywhere. The people who could store fat efficiently survived the lean winters and famines, passed on their genes, and now those same genes in a world of cheap seed oils, endless processed carbs, and 24/7 food delivery make you pre-diabetic by 35. An adaptation that kept your ancestors alive for 200,000 years is now the leading cause of death in the modern world.

Or take intelligence for instance. For most of human history, being smarter meant better resource acquisition, better social status, more mates, more surviving offspring. But in the modern world, the correlation between IQ and fertility has completely flipped. Multiple studies across countries show a consistent negative relationship between cognitive ability and number of children. Higher IQ individuals delay reproduction, pursue more education, overthink the decision to have kids, and end up having fewer or none. The trait that was once the ultimate evolutionary advantage is now selecting itself out of the gene pool.

The takeaway here is that the stress response that kept your ancestors alive through ice ages and tribal warfare now fires because your Uber is 4 minutes late. Evolution built you to survive a world that no longer exists but nobody bothered to tell your amygdala.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

I’m starting to think the actual future is going to be way more dystopian than anything they dreamed up for movies.
