#1 in the world! I would like to thank the homie Jesus, my wife for all the dirty looks she gave when I was tapping my phone, my kids for all their mid battle meltdowns, @NianticHelp for never fixing the game, and all my haters. Time to retire.

Hardest reverse sequence of all time 😱

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Rogan is describing a dopamine problem and most people misdiagnose it as a motivation problem.

Your prefrontal cortex runs on a limited daily budget. Every scroll, every notification, every context switch burns through that budget before you’ve done anything meaningful. Huberman’s lab at Stanford measured this: 90 minutes of fragmented phone use in the morning drops sustained attention capacity by roughly 40% for the rest of the day. By 10am most people have already spent their executive function on inputs that produce zero long-term reward.

This tells you everything about why the loop Rogan describes feels inescapable. The sequence is neurochemical, not moral:

Low-grade stimulation all morning → baseline dopamine crashes → brain seeks easiest reward available → Netflix and scrolling → temporary relief → further baseline drop → repeat.

The intervention point is the first 90 minutes after waking. Huberman has shown that 10 minutes of morning sunlight raises cortisol at the right time (the body’s natural alertness signal), and that intense exercise in the first hour elevates baseline dopamine by 200-300% for up to 6 hours. Cold exposure at 50°F for 2-3 minutes produces a sustained dopamine increase comparable to certain medications.

The people who break the loop have restructured their mornings around effort-driven dopamine rather than consumption-driven dopamine. Protect the first hour. Zero phone. Sunlight. Movement. The remaining 15 hours run on whatever neurochemical foundation you built before 8am.

Autopilot is what a depleted brain defaults to. Change the inputs early enough and the entire system recalibrates.

El concepto de DORMIR EN DOS SILLAS EN UNA FIESTA, experiencia UNIVERSAL de los Latinos 😭 Bad Bunny realmente NO FALLA UNA https://t.co/yn95z6D8NF

@MJS_23 Very good point, you can never stop the halftime show hate. I enjoyed it, mostly because of the thought of people paying thousands for good seats and couldn't see half the show through the super tall jungle grass.

[Flip Diesel @johnnychappell]

As much as I love Jesus, if you turned off the Super Bowl to watch Grampa Rock over Bad Bunny, you must really hate Latinos

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING: The left is FURIOUS after a new poll reveals a SUPERMAJORITY of people says Kid Rock had a better halftime show than Bad Bunny — 67% to 33%

That's according to TMZ'S OWN poll 🤣

BRUTAL FLOP! You messed up, NFL.

Huge win for Americans!

I was outraged when Charlie Kirk was assassinated and outraged when Alex Pretti was executed.

That reaction comes from basic humanity, not political bias. Some of you should try it.

If the Second Amendment does not apply to this exact kind of moment, what do people think it is for?

A citizen can lawfully carry, see masked federal agents beating someone in public, move toward the scene to help, and then get erased with a hail of bullets because “he had a gun.”

That excuse is an insult in a country where possession is legal by design, where the whole point is that the public never becomes a disarmed audience watching state power operate with impunity.

I’m not interested in arguing frame-by-frame footage. I’m interested in the principle that a free people cannot accept a standard where lawful carry becomes a death sentence the second authority feels threatened.

If that is the standard, then the 2nd Amendment has been reduced to a vibe. The founders did not write it so Republicans could do militia cosplay on weekends.

A clever enough critique, but there’s one thing that this sort of post-Marxoid-Deleuzian-rightist understanding of a hypostatized “capitalism” characterized by “flows of desire” (in contrast to what sort of “hierarchy” exactly?) constitutively misses: the more that it sees disordered desire as a decisively contaminating force simply transgressing fixed laws, and not something that can itself be subverted from the inside by a proper spiritualization of fleshly excess in accord with the supernatural virtue of charity, the more it retreats to a pre-Christian formalism incapable of actually struggling with the spiritual enemy (all it can do is impotently discipline whatever flesh happens to be weaker than it—and it is very weak).

This is part of the danger of trying to appropriate Marxist critique from a more “conservative” standpoint. Marxism failed (when it didn’t transition into systematic pragmatist norm-transgressing compromise) because it tried to make a world that is always constitutively expanding out towards God into something smaller, something that can be controlled by humans. But this doesn’t work. You have to accept that you are not in control—God is. What this means is that to fight back against sin, it’s important to set aside rigid loveless secular categories like “spectacle” and “commodifiable”—which don’t actually describe real objects, they’re essentially just negative aesthetic judgments—and accept that if you want to win, the only categories really proper to real-life spiritual struggle are those within the narrative complex of sin, atonement, redemption, and salvation.

To put it simply: on the ontological level, it’s important to have faith that God’s grace ultimately overpowers the sinner, not that sin ultimately overpowers God’s grace.
