If you bought this home today with a 30 year mortgage, it would be almost 90 years old by the time you pay it off.

Who is the next buyer in 2056!?!?

This market is so ready to collapse.

Do Not buy a house.

Unless you are a millionaire.

Rent for now.

Wait for a 2008 type market crash to buy your first house.

Understand?

Questa è una via di Parigi (una della tante) devastata ieri sera per la vittoria del PSG.
780 arresti in tutto il Paese, di cui 480 solo a Parigi (un centinaio minorenni). 219 feriti, di cui 8 in modo grave; feriti 57 agenti di polizia. Morto un 24enne schiantatosi con lo scooter. In coma un 17enne accoltellato durante una rissa.

Quanti psicologi bisogna assumere qui per l’integrazione?

Linda gave her son $400,000.

Three years later, half of it belonged to a woman she couldn't stand.

Linda was 71. Widowed. Forty years of saving. When her son and his new wife found the house, Linda wired $400,000 straight to the closing attorney.

The deed came back with two names on it. The lender wanted it that way.

Four years in, the wife filed for divorce.

The house was a marital asset. Every dollar of equity, split down the middle.

Linda's son walked out of that marriage $200,000 lighter.

Half of it walked away with a woman who'd stopped speaking to her two Christmases ago.

Here's what nobody tells parents.

The second your money touches a joint account or buys a jointly titled asset, it stops being your child's. It's marital property.

In a divorce, the court splits it. The judge doesn't care that you wrote Gift on the memo line. The judge doesn't care that it was your retirement.

There are three ways to give money to a married child and actually protect it.

A loan with a signed note and recorded interest. It's a debt, not a gift. Not divisible.

A trust. Your child benefits from it. They don't own it. A divorce can't touch it. Their creditors can't touch it. A future spouse can't redirect it.

The first two aren't bulletproof. A loan can get sloppy. A separate account can get commingled by accident. They're better than nothing. They're not airtight.

A trust is the strongest protection. It's also the hardest to use if your child needs the money to qualify for a mortgage.

Lenders want assets in your child's name, not locked inside a trust. There are workarounds. They take planning. They take time. They're not something you figure out the week before closing.

Which is why this conversation has to happen before the house, before the wedding, before the wire.

Love doesn't hold up in divorce court.

Documents do.

If you're about to help an adult child, talk to an estate attorney before the wire goes out. Not after the marriage falls apart.

The best gift you can give your child isn't the money.
It's the structure that keeps the money theirs.

Educational only, not legal or tax advice. Hypothetical example. Consult your own attorney and tax professional.

I think it’s hilarious that Democrats spent their political might and tons of money on "NO KINGS" protests just to give a standing ovation to the LITERAL King of England.

Biggest bullshit artists of the century. 😂

[Russ Shaw MLS - Lab Scientist @RussellShaw_MLS]

A few that have actually paid for themselves in my experience:

Comprehensive lab panels run quarterly. $200 to $400 per draw if you go DTC through Quest, Labcorp, Marek Health, Function Health, or Whoop. I’ve stopped second-guessing whether things are working. The labs tell me. The trend over years is the most valuable health data I own.

CAC scan once and a baseline DEXA. CAC is roughly $100 cash at most imaging centers. Tells you whether you actually have plaque, not whether your risk calculator says you might. DEXA is $50 to $150 and gives you body composition, visceral fat, regional lean mass, and bone density in one scan. Both are decision-changing data points and most people never get either one.

Real food at a real grocery store. A weekly grocery bill of $250 to $400 for a family eating well sounds expensive until you compare it to the medical bills the alternative produces over a decade. The math is brutal in the right direction.

A barbell, a rack, and a real set of plates for the garage. $1,500 to $2,500 once. Lasts forever. Gets used 3 to 4 times a week for the next 30 years. Cost per session approaches zero.

CrossFit or a real gym membership with coaching. $150 to $250 a month is more than commercial gym pricing but coached training prevents injuries and produces better adaptations than solo work for most people. The coaching is what you’re paying for, not the equipment.

Whoop, Garmin, or Oura. $200 to $400 a year. Sleep, HRV, and recovery data over time tells you whether your protocol is actually working in a way nothing else does.

A blender, cast iron, sharp knives, vacuum sealer, and a chest freezer. $800 to $1,200 in kitchen infrastructure that pays for itself in the first year of buying meat in bulk and prepping at home.

Quality supplements where the evidence is real. Creatine monohydrate, vitamin D3 with K2, omega-3 at trial doses, magnesium glycinate, and a CoQ10 if you’re on a statin or want preventive cardiac support. Most supplements are useless. The handful with actual outcome data are cheap relative to what they do.

A good orthopedic mattress and bedding. $1,500 to $3,000 once. You spend a third of your life on it. The downstream effect on sleep quality, recovery, HRV, and inflammation is real even if it’s hard to attribute directly.

Therapy or coaching when you actually need it. Mental health is metabolic health. Chronic stress and unaddressed psychology drive cortisol, insulin resistance, sleep disruption, and food choices. The downstream cost of NOT addressing it dwarfs the session fees.

What I’d avoid:

Most longevity clinics that charge $5,000 a month for protocols you can run for $300.
Proprietary blend pre-workouts.
Stem cell tourism without rigorous evidence.
“Premium” multivitamins with 50 ingredients at homeopathic doses.
Wellness retreats that don’t change your daily habits when you go home.

The pattern: spend money where the evidence is solid, the data is yours, and the infrastructure compounds for years. Skip what’s marketed as exclusive when the same thing is available cheap if you do the work yourself.

Don’t wait for the diagnosis.

Read the label.

[Hans Amato @HansAmato]

The most fucked up thing about American food is that you have to be a paranoid lunatic just to feed yourself something that won't kill you in 30 years.

You're paying $400 a month at Whole Foods to avoid $200,000 in medical bills the food industry will hand you at 60.

The default snack is a chemical no European country lets in. The default cooking oil was invented in 1911 in a soap factory by Procter and Gamble. The default protein bar is sugar wrapped in marketing. The default "healthy" yogurt has more sugar than ice cream. The default breakfast cereal was invented by a guy who wanted to make people less horny.

That's not a joke btw. John Harvey Kellogg literally believed corn flakes would reduce masturbation. The cereal aisle is downstream of his crusade.

You have to FIGHT to find real bread.

FIGHT to find a chicken that wasn't raised in a steroid bath.

FIGHT to find olive oil that hasn't been cut with canola in a warehouse in Spain.

FIGHT to find a restaurant that doesn't cook everything in soybean oil.

FIGHT to read every label like it's evidence at a murder trial.

Your great-grandfather ate what was on his farm and he lived to 89. You eat 87 ingredients you can't pronounce per meal and you'll be on a statin at 52.

Somehow this is "progress."

The American food industry is a $1.5 trillion machine and the medical industry is a $4.5 trillion machine. Different shareholders, same business model: make you sick, then sell you the management.

Doritos in your kid's lunchbox.

Lipitor in his lunchbox 30 years later.

Same parent companies sometimes. PepsiCo owns Quaker. Quaker pushed oatmeal as "heart healthy" while loading it with sugar. Mondelez owns Cadbury, Oreo, Ritz, Triscuit, Wheat Thins. Kraft Heinz owns Kraft Mac and Cheese, Velveeta, Capri Sun, Lunchables. The 7 companies that make 87% of what's on a typical American grocery shelf all have pharma stock holdings 2 to 3 layers deep.

The grocery walkthrough that actually keeps you alive:

> Outer aisles only. Produce, meat, dairy, eggs. Inner aisles are 90% chemistry experiments.
> Meat: pasture-raised, grass-fed, no antibiotics. Costco has decent options. Local farmers are better. Skip "natural" labels (means nothing).
> Eggs: pasture-raised, NOT cage-free (means nothing), NOT free-range (means almost nothing). Vital Farms is the easiest find.
> Butter: Kerrygold or any grass-fed brand. The yellow color is beta-carotene from grass. Pale butter = grain fed.
> Olive oil: California Olive Ranch, Kirkland's California, or single-estate Italian. Most "Italian" olive oil at Costco is Spanish-Tunisian blends cut with sunflower oil. Litigation pending.
> Bread: sourdough from a local bakery or Ezekiel-style sprouted. Avoid anything with "vegetable oil" or "soybean oil" in the ingredients.

What to delete from the cart entirely:

> Anything in a bag that didn't exist in 1950 (chips, crackers, cereal in a box, pre-mixed dressings)
> Vegetable oil, canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower
> Anything with HFCS, "natural flavors," carrageenan, soy lecithin, BHT, BHA
> Sweetened yogurt (buy plain, sweeten with honey or fruit)
> Pre-packaged "healthy" snacks (granola bars, RX bars, protein cookies)

The 4-step kitchen audit that actually works:

> Cook 6 nights a week. No restaurants on weeknights. The exposure compounds when families eat out 4 times a week.
> Buy meat from one farmer for the year. Costs the same per pound, eat better cuts.
> Eggs and rice are superfoods. Stop chasing trendy ones. The basics still print.
> Skip protein bars. A boiled egg + an apple beats every $4 bar on the shelf and costs $0.80.

The system is engineered to keep you a customer.

Opt out.

La vue la plus puissante de l'humanité en un demi-siècle 🌕

Pour la première fois au 21e siècle, les humains assistent à nouveau à un lever de la Terre depuis l'espace profond.

Alors que l'équipage de mission Artemis II orbite l'autre côté de la Lune, ils capturent un moment qui transcende la science - un rappel tranquille que toute l'humanité partage une maison fragile et lumineuse.

À plus de 400 000 km, à bord du vaisseau spatial Orion, la Terre émerge au-dessus de l'horizon lunaire - brillant en saphir brillant contre le vide. Vue depuis près du pôle sud de la Lune, notre planète apparaît quatre fois plus grande que la Lune depuis la Terre, brillant de magnitude – 16, bien plus brillante que toute pleine lune que nous avons jamais connue.

🌕 Qu'est-ce qui rend cette vue extraordinaire :
• La terre éclaire doucement les cratères ombrés de la Lune
• Une phase terrestre gibbeuse vivante du point de vue lunaire
• Systèmes nuages tourbillonnants et océans visibles à travers un seul monde tournant

Propulsée par le système de lancement spatial, cette mission n'est pas seulement une étape technologique, c'est un changement de perspective.

De cette distance, il n'y a pas de frontières.
Pas de divisions.
Seulement un petit monde rayonnant qui transporte tous ceux que nous avons connus.

🌌 Parfois, les plus grandes découvertes ne concernent pas l'espace
mais sur la façon dont nous nous voyons à l'intérieur.

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently.

"Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting."

Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs.

He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%.

He chose to act knowing his own base would split.

He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help.

He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike.

A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage."

Read that again.

Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

If you have over 30 pounds to lose, and you want to look great by July, you need to start now.

Here are 8 tips for you if you want to lose the gut by July, 2026:

1. You have 2 options for breakfast:

Eat 50 grams of protein OR skip it. No bagels, no cereal, no muffins, no Starbucks sugar bombs. Protein or BUST.

2. You get 2 alcoholic drinks per week max:

No beers, make them clear liquors (vodka, tequilla, gin) and 1 ounce pours. Measure them out. Having zero is an even better idea.

3. You get 1 meal out at a restaurant per week max:

Make your own breakfasts and lunches. No more drive throughs for you. One dinner out per week, Friday night, Saturday night, or Sunday night - your choice. But ONE only.

4. 50 grams of protein minimum at every meal:

Choose your protein, and build your meal around it. You must get 50 grams of protein per meal. This means no more pizza.

Burgers must have more meat than barbecue sauce and "extras". Pasta must have more ground beef than cheese. Protein is king, treat it as such.

5. Walk for 1 hour outside daily (weather permitted):

You can break it up into 2, 30 minute walks if you wish. If the weather is bad, hit the treadmill or elliptical. Your pace doesn't need to be fast. But you need to move your body daily to get the weight off of you.

6. Lift weights 3 times per week for 40 minutes:

Wake up early and get it done before work if you're busy. Or at your lunchbreak if you work from home.

Do 1 press, 2 rows, and 1 leg exercise per session. 3 sets of each. 8-12 rep range. Toss in some curls and triceps if you want, but it's not necessary. Track your workouts and get stronger.

7. No more snacking, PERIOD:

You heard it. Stop snacking. Don't buy it, and you won't be tempted. No more chips, no more candy, no more bullshit.

Be an adult, man. Stop smashing "treats" like you're 4 years old. You can make it from meal to meal without a snack. Develop some disicpline.

8. Unlimited diet pops:

Forget the bozos who claim diet pop somehow makes you fat and increases insulin (it doesn't). The fizz will fill you up, and you'll get a solid treat for no calories.

If it has no calories, drink up and enjoy.

9. If you mess up, DO NOT GIVE UP.

Nobody's going to be perfect, so stop thinking you have to be. Take it day by day. You'll lose the weight quickly if you follow these 8 simple rules.

But you have to stop stopping.
You owe it to yourself.
You owe it to your family.

If you can average 2-3 pound of weight loss per week over the next 3 months, you'll be down 25-30 pounds by July, 2025. Possibly more.

YOU GOT THIS. If you need help, see the next tweet...
