A peak life advice from Alex Hormozi:

Sorry, but this is absolutely INSANE. I’ve seen a few of these now. Share this and raise more awareness. Someone needs to help these people.

Did you know the TV show “To Catch a Predator” was cancelled because they kept catching law enforcement, teachers, preachers, local officials, and other people meant to protect Children?

The final straw? An Assistant District Attorney in TEXAS was courting who he thought was a 13yo boy. He didn’t show for the sting, so they sent law enforcement and camera crew to his home. The police entered, and Louis Conradt shot himself, taking his own life.

Can’t make this shit up.

Woman who lives only 1.6 miles from the META Data Center in Wisconsin speaks out

She says their water system has been completely destroyed

She says there is discharge that turns the entire river white like milk. She paid for testing and found extremely high heavy metal levels

“I live on a horse farm and I am an educator. I, for almost four 50 years, a natural creek has flowed through my property. It's 20 feet wide, up to four feet deep. It has persisted through drought, flood, seasonal change. It's part of a connected system. Groundwater, tributaries, watersheds, aquifers ultimately flowing into Beaver Dam Lake. Until construction began upstream on the data center, its behavior was stable and predictable

After construction started, all of that changed. Here in Beaver Dam, the creek began to stop flowing entirely without rainfall. It would abruptly return off in cloudy and opaque like milk, with enough force to cause drastic erosion and damage — Water testing on my property shows elevated strontium, a very dangerous metal, and other indicators consistent with deep groundwater influence”

Director James Cameron on why Big Tech owning AGI is scarier than any science fiction he's ever made:

"AGI will not emerge from a government funded program. It will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multi-billion dollar research."

And when that happens, he warns, you won't get a vote on it:

"So then you'll be living in a world that you didn't agree to, didn't vote for, that you are co-inhabiting with a super intelligent alien species that answers to the goals and rules of a corporation."

A corporation that already knows everything about you:

"An entity which has access to the comms, beliefs, everything you ever said, and the whereabouts of every person in the country via your personal data."

From there, the slide toward something far darker is shorter than most people think:

"Surveillance capitalism can toggle pretty quickly into digital totalitarianism."

And even the best-case outcome isn't reassuring. Tech giants becoming the self-appointed arbiters of human good is, as he puts it, the fox guarding the hen house.

He's not buying the idea that these companies would stay benevolent with that kind of power:

"They would never ever think of using that power against us and strip mining us for our last drop of cash."

The sarcasm is the point.

Cameron has spent four decades imagining worst-case futures on screen. His verdict on this one:

"That's a scarier scenario than what I presented in the Terminator 40 years ago, if for no other reason than it's no longer science fiction."

This is genuinely one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen in baseball. Robbing a homerun is hard and rare enough. Robbing two in a game is the record. But three?? One in a million chance. Take a bow, Jo Addell. #RepTheHalo

Let me get this straight…

OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.”

Then he raised billions of dollars.

Then he closed the source code.

Then he converted to for-profit.

Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone.

Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models.

Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter.

He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it…

Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at https://t.co/MQvByA4atR and https://t.co/v6ghw99u1K — it takes two minutes and it matters.
