How it started…

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Mitch McConnell just said the quiet part out loud on Greenland:

We already have everything we need.
Greenland already cooperates.
Our Arctic access already exists.

What Trump is proposing isn’t strategy, it’s burning allied trust for nothing.

“Incinerating the hard-won trust of loyal allies” is not strength. It’s self-sabotage.

[Jake Scott, MD @jakescottMD]

This shouldn’t be a philosophical debate. It’s a misunderstanding of how infectious disease works.

Vaccines aren’t perfect. The measles vaccine is 97% effective with two doses, not 100%, so some vaccinated people remain vulnerable. More importantly, some people can’t be vaccinated at all: infants under 12 months, immunocompromised patients, people with anaphylactic reactions to vaccine components. They depend on the rest of us not spreading a highly contagious virus to them.

Measles has an R0 of 12-18, meaning each infected person spreads it to 12-18 others in an unvaccinated population. The virus can linger in the air for two hours after an infected person leaves a room. At that level of contagion, you need 92-95% vaccine coverage to stop community transmission. When coverage drops, outbreaks happen, and the people who pay the price are often those who had no choice in the matter.

“My body, my choice” makes sense for decisions that affect only your body. Transmissible disease isn’t that. Your choice not to vaccinate can put a 6-month-old in the hospital or kill an immunocompromised kid who couldn’t get the shot.

The question isn’t “why does it matter if I take it.” The question is whether your comfort with risk should override someone else’s right not to get infected by you.

Spengler Cup broadcasts are the best 🤣

[The Penn State Troll 🦁🧌 @ThePSUTroll]

Btw while we were watching football a bunch of college kids (including 5 Penn State guys) just went and beat the #1 Swiss pro team in their own barn.

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

A massive new study on peak performance included 34,000 international top performers: Nobel laureates, renowned classical music composers, Olympic champs, and the world’s best chess players. It shows early specialization is a trap, and the road to greatness is long and varied.

[Hoodlum 🇺🇸 @NotHoodlum]

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

GOP Rep. Massie: I apologized to Adelita Grijalva for what my own party did, which was to keep her from being sworn in and depriving an entire congressional district of representation. I won a special election myself. I think I was sworn in within a week. There was no reason to delay this other than the petty thing that now the Speaker is accelerating.

[Proton Drive @ProtonDrive]

Google wants you to use their cloud storage to keep your sensitive data and photos, because they claim it's "secure" and "encrypted".

Our pinned tweet says otherwise.

[Joël Edelmann @jolou03]

@SnazzyLabs Sounds bad! To hear that from a grown man is frightening. All the best!

[Quinn Nelson @SnazzyLabs]

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but the new YouTube player design is horrifically hideous.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Arnold Schwarzenegger: I'm a traditional Republican… like Lincoln who ended slavery…The party has changed. That doesn't mean we have to change. We have to fight to get the party back.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 3 Step Plan to Save Democracy:

1) Make Election Day a holiday.
2) Have independent redistricting commissions in each state.
3) Voter ID.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people.

The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor.

Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White House is.

[JerryRigEverything @ZacksJerryRig]

The opinion of people who received a medical degree is vastly superior to the opinion of those who did not, when it comes to medically related topics.

[Rohan Paul @rohanpaul_ai]

The new steam age.

This is actually becoming true in many cases.

It's possible to do so much more on your own now.

THIS chart is the CLEAREST signal of where the internet is heading.

social media time is SHRINKING for the first time in HISTORY, and young people are leading the pullback.

Brainrot is OUT.

they grew up online, saw the full cycle of social platforms, and learned early that endless scroll doesn’t make you happier or smarter.

they’re the LEADING indicator. their parents will follow in 3-5 years.

AI slop is the nail in the coffin.

every feed feels synthetic familiar faces, identical voices, recycled ideas. the “factory smell” of it all finally broke people’s curiosity.

but there’s an upside. every trend creates its anti-trend.

attention is shifting back to things that feel real, slow, and intentional.

people are paying for spaces that make them feel grounded, informed, and connected again.

the next $100M+ companies will engineer density, trust, and time well spent. they’ll build containers for meaning, then use AI to keep them organized, not optimized.

the internet’s oldest assumption that more engagement equals more value is breaking.

the white space i think is...

• "slow media" formats: weekly briefs, serialized content etc
• private groups that operate like clubs with applications and rituals
• provenance and identity layers that verify real creators and sources
• brands with offline gravity like real events, real belonging
• curated directories and vetted marketplaces
• paid memberships that deliver depth
• note: we share business ideas around this on @ideabrowser
• IRL anything - dinners, meetups, shared experiences

young people are abandoning social media faster than their parents are discovering it.

If you understand what that means, that's a big deal.

i can't stop thinking about this FT/GWI chart.

brainrot is OUT.

meaning is IN.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 Tucker Carlson just turned the gun around.

Tucker Carlson is now accusing Trump’s regime of using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a pretext to:

- Abolish the First Amendment
- Round up Americans
- And Nazify the country

Yes, Tucker said that.
And for once… he’s not wrong.

When the propaganda machine starts screaming at its own inventor, something is breaking. Loudly.

[Neoliberal Akiho ✨🇺🇳🇨🇦 @NeoliberalAkiho]

The Dems finally figured out their comm issues. The trick is to explain things to Americans as if they’re mentally challenged (they are)
