Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the country and i’m supposed to believe this guy just walks out of a psyche ward and magically finds a fully kitted multi thousand dollar AR15 that he’s clearly never shot before. Sure.
You check your Apple Watch in the morning. Sleep score: 62. You decide it's going to be a foggy day. And then it is.
A 2014 Colorado College study suggests the score itself causes the fog.
164 people walked into a lab. Researchers hooked them up to fake EEG equipment and told them the readout would show their REM percentage from the night before. Then they fabricated a number. Half the room was told 28.7%. Half was told 16.2%. The machine wasn't measuring anything.
Participants took four cognitive tests. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, where you add numbers spoken at increasing speed and hold your last sum in working memory while computing the next. And the Controlled Oral Word Association Task, where you generate as many words as you can starting with a single letter under time pressure. Both are gold-standard measures of attention and executive function used in clinical neurology.
The 28.7% group outperformed the 16.2% group on both. Significantly. How rested participants actually felt that morning predicted nothing.
The mechanism is mindset priming an executive resource. When you believe you slept well, you allocate cognitive effort more aggressively. You don't conserve. You don't pre-disengage. Belief about the resource changes how you spend it.
Two control conditions ruled out demand characteristics. Participants weren't trying harder because they thought they should. Real measurable cognitive performance shifted with the number on the readout.
The Apple Watch sleep score. The Oura ring readiness number. The morning ritual of checking either one is taxing the resource you're about to need.
The performance gap from a fabricated REM percentage was larger than the gap from how rested participants actually felt. The number was louder than the night.
With the Boston Marathon today, a good time to re-up one of the greatest figures in sports data: the distribution of marathon finish times (n=9,789,093). The spike at 4:00 is not a coincidence.
It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.
When this person bought in, the market had this at a 17% probability. They turned roughly $87,000 into over half a million dollars overnight.
Reminder that Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket's advisory board and his firm invested double-digit millions into the platform last year. The DOJ and CFTC both had active investigations into Polymarket that were dropped after Trump took office.
Prediction markets cannot be a vehicle for profiting off advance knowledge of military action.
We need answers, transparency, and oversight.
99% of goy discourse about Jews is them completely making something up, convincing each other that this is what Jews believe, and then getting mad about it
It's important to call out the names of people who are selectively silent about these issues... but are loud about others (when Jews/israel is involved)
BREAKING: Over 60 unarmed Iranian civilians, including children, were murdered by the Islamic Republic in the past week.
Greta Thunberg? Silent.
Francesca Albanese? Silent.
Mehdi Hasan? Silent.
Cenk Uygur? Silent.
Ana Kasparian? Silent.
The media? Silent.
The UN? Silent.
El nuevo alcalde comunista de Nueva York, Zohran Mamdani, fue a grabarse visitando departamentos alquilados en Nueva York para mostrar lo deteriorados que están y así justificar la Ley de Alquileres que quiere mandar a la Legislatura.
Pero el boludazo no se dio cuenta que visitó un departamento que ya está bajo control de alquileres y justamente el deterioro de la vivienda ocurrió porque no le dejan subir el alquiler, lo que le permitiría al dueño tener más plata para invertir en arreglos.
Literalmente Mamdani demostró sin darse cuenta por qué una Ley de Alquileres NO sirve.
BREAKING: We just caught another crazy trade.
Someone on Polymarket just bet $40,000 that Trump will acquire Greenland.
They will win $300K if they are correct.
Another potential insider or a degenerate gambler?
