@kamauwaruhiu @Vickyjr Ignoring the barb on affordable houses, there is serious wisdom here around investments......

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

Let's unpack this..

What if the White House has no intention of reopening the Strait of Hormuz?

What if this war is really about ships & tariffs?

I had a long discussion with senior DOE official yesterday on background. I can’t share any details but it’s clear everyone’s Strait of Hormuz calculus is wrong.

We need to go back to the drawing boards.

That's it. That's the tweet. Now a hypothetical 🧵 with my personal thoughts.

[Jason R. Williams, MD, DABR @jasonwilliamsmd]

We've spent 50 years trying to kill cancer cells. What if the answer was never to kill them but to remind them who they are?

Cancer cells aren't foreign invaders. They're your own cells that lost their identity. They stopped differentiating, stopped maturing, and started growing without limits. Cancer doesn't create anything new. It hijacks normal biology.

Researchers at KAIST in South Korea identified three master regulators, MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2, keeping colon cancer cells locked in a malignant state. When they silenced all three? The cancer cells differentiated back into normal, healthy tissue. MYC and WNT pathways shut down. In mice, tumors shrank significantly.

No chemo. No radiation. Just reprogramming.

Here's what most people will miss: HDAC2 is a histone deacetylase. It compacts DNA and silences tumor suppressor genes. We already use HDAC inhibitors in our protocols. This isn't new to us. But it's powerful validation.

Cancer and aging are the same problem. Cells that no longer serve the body but learned to hijack the immune system to survive. The answer isn't bigger bombs. It's restoration.

Still preclinical. But the direction is exactly right. Kudos to the @kaistpr team. 👏

10.The best improved teacher per subject in each of the sub-counties to get a paid-up trip to Mombasa. This will include the previous year, since some were participating in the marking of KCSE when they could have travelled. (From the MP – since public resources don’t have this provision).

i work at meta. hr systems. mostly comp processing. quiet job. stable. sometimes i daydream about retiring in portugal.

today a package hit my queue. base + bonus + equity. looks normal at first glance. then i open the details.

$1,000,000,000
over four years.
plus signing.
plus year 1 minimum: $100m.

i stare at it like it’s a typo. check the name. triple check the level. researcher.

coolcoolcool. so now i have to enter this into workday.

i paste the first number, field throws an error.“value must be below $99,999,999.”
lol. okay. i try splitting it. base in one bucket, equity in another. nope. i try scientific notation. it rounds it down.

the system can’t HANDLE a billion dollars.

i call someone on payroll infra. tell them i’ve got a 10-digit comp packet. they think i’m joking. i forward the req. they go quiet.

“we’re gonna need to escalate this,” someone mutters.
“to who?” i ask.
“god, maybe.”

next thing i know zuck’s chief of staff is in the thread. now i’m in a thread with zuck. because of a number.

then i find out the guy declined the offer.
just said no. no negotiation. no counter. just… no.

i’ve been maxing out my 401k for 11 years & this man said no to a billion dollars like he was skipping dessert.

i close the ticket. delete the draft.
go for a walk.

& then i rethink everything.
