🇺🇸🇮🇷 UNCONFIRMED:

The U.S. apparently authorized releasing $7 billion in frozen Iranian funds

If this turns out to be true there is no question the ceasefire negotiations are for real!

🚨🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israeli forces have reportedly retreated from parts of southern Lebanon after failing to take Bint Jbeil, one of Hezbollah's strongholds.

Hezbollah is still launching drones at Israeli soldiers inside Lebanese territory and across the border. Jets overhead, strikes ongoing, civilians being pushed out of Nabatieh with nowhere to go.

The buffer zone Israel wants exists. How big it ends up being is a question nobody, including Israel, seems to have answered yet.

President Trump treats America like his personal empire—waging unnecessary wars, enriching allies and himself, ignoring Congress, and leaving civilians and global stability in ruins, says Cato’s @Doug_Bandow. This is not what the Founders envisioned.

'Valuable reward' promised to those who capture 'the enemy pilot alive'

Local Iranian channel from area where the US pilot was likely downed announced reward for his capture

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute humiliation for the Israeli military. Reports confirm Hezbollah has destroyed over 100 advanced Merkava tanks in just 15 days. A thousand dollar missile is turning six million dollar armored behemoths into scrap metal. The ground invasion is a total disaster.

🚨 Ray Dalio on Gold:

"If you didn't know what gold was likely to do and you had no view on gold, one should have between 5% and 15% of their portfolio in Gold. It's a diversifier. When the shit hits the fan, gold does well and the other things don't."

Gold is insurance when liquidity cracks and volatility hits. The crowd remembers too late.

This professor’s prediction about the next 4 years sounds insane.

But once you hear the logic, it’s hard to ignore.

🚨This guy literally dropped Claude AI Full courses 5 hours (Build & Automate Anything) for Free

[Ruben Hassid @rubenhassid]

You're using Claude wrong.

Here's my (exact) setup before I even prompt:

Step 1. Download Claude and open Cowork
→ Go to Claude. com/ download.
→ Install the desktop app.
→ Click the Cowork tab at the top.
→ You need a Pro plan ($20/mo). Worth it.
→ Full guide here: https://t.co/g6oLzWSOuo

---

Step 2. Select the right model (don't skip this)
→ Click the model dropdown.
→ Select "Opus 4.6."
→ Turn on "Extended Thinking."
→ Never change these. Wrong model = bad output.

---

Step 3. Build your folder
→ Create one master folder on your computer.
→ Inside it, create 4 subfolders:
✦ ABOUT ME - who you are + how you write
✦ PROJECTS - one subfolder per live project
✦ TEMPLATES - your best work as structures
✦ OUTPUTS - where Claude saves finished files
→ Upload this folder. That's how it reads you.

---

Step 4. Create 3 context files inside ABOUT ME
→ These replace prompting. This is the setup.
→ Create them as .md files. Plain text, saved as .md
✦ about-me.md - what you do day-to-day.
✦ my-voice.md - tone, phrases you hate, 3 example
✦ my-rules.md - ask first, show a plan, get approval

OR

Simply download my .md files here: https://t.co/psB7XxAv8w
Subscribe for free. Open my welcome email.
Hit the automatic reply button inside.

---

Step 5. Set Global Instructions (once, forever)
Go to Settings → Cowork → Edit Global Instructions.
→ Paste: "I'm [Name], [Role]. Read my files before every task. Ask clarifying questions before executing. Show a plan before acting. Never delete without my approval."
→ You set this once. It runs every session.
→ Your prompts can now be 10 words long.

---

Before your next Cowork session, check these:
1. Am I in Cowork (not Chat)?
2. Is Opus 4.6 + Extended Thinking on?
3. Did I point it to my folder with context files?

Set these first. Then prompt.
Top 1% of Claude users do this. Now you can too.
