People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.

I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.

Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.

Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.

Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.

So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.

Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

Hay un ejercicio que parece demasiado simple para servir de mucho: agarrar dos pesos pesados y caminar.

Cuanto más lo hago, más me gusta.

El Farmer’s Walk trabaja bastante más que el agarre y, además, es difícil complicarlo innecesariamente. 🧵👇

One of my favorite core exercises.

The pullover/pike is brutal and insanely effective at working your abs. You also get a good mat stretch and chest pump from it.

これはわかる。81キロから49キロまで落とした私です🔽

■同じ動画で落ちてる人に出てるサイン
・翌日に尻と太もも裏が張る（前ももだけの日は跳ねてるだけ）
・20分続けて、息が上がったまま終われている
・踊った日の夕食が前より増えていない

■落ちてない側が先に触るところ
・1回20分×週3（毎日3分より、続けた時間で決まる）
・タンパク質を体重×1.2g（50キロで60g、切ると筋肉から減る）
・終わって30分は何も足さない（20分で消費150kcal、ジュース1本で戻る）

脂肪が出てくるのは動き出して15〜20分から。3分の動画を1本で終わると、燃える手前で止まってる。
今日は同じ動画を3周続けてみて🥺

In 2022, the Spence family spoke with 60 Minutes about the impact of Meta’s Instagram platform on their daughter.

At just 11, Alexis was able to join Instagram, despite the platform’s policy of not allowing kids under 13 to participate. Her parents allege in a lawsuit that the app led Alexis into a depression and eating disorder.

On Wednesday, Meta reached an agreement with dozens of states, settling claims that the social media platform harms and addicts children. The tech giant will pay up to $18 billion in penalties and add stronger child-safety measures to its products.

A young Russian who speaks truth!

Test everything. God delights in truth.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 But test everything; hold fast what is good.

Psalm 51:6 Behold, You delight in truth in the inward being, and You teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

Putin’s Russia: A young woman defended a U.S. flag that was being desecrated at a rally calling for a nuclear strike on the United States.

When a young woman said, “I ask you not to insult another country and not to trample its flag,” the pro-war activists responded by insulting her in every possible way.

An elderly woman whose son and nephew are fighting, and who has lost relatives in the war, called her a “sellout whore” while declaring Putin “the best president in the world.”

A drunk man then threatened to punch the girl in the face while supporting the pro-war activists.

This is what Putin’s Russia looks like today: an elderly mother who sent her children to their deaths openly supports the executioner, a drunk man who dreams of beating a girl, and activists who call for nuclear war.

Encountering Jesus and submitting to His truth. Only then can we be set free from the lies-- lies we speak, lies we listen to and believe in, and even the lies we ensnare ourselves into.

Being elite, working great accomplishments, but without right character-- what's the point?

John 8:31-32 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

BBC literally built the greatest sound library on the internet.

It is called BBC Sound Effects, and it gives you access to more than 30,000 recordings from around the world.

Just search any word, and it instantly finds matching sounds.

You can filter them by category, duration, and even the continent where the sound was recorded.

Every sound can be previewed inside your browser, downloaded, or added to the built-in mixer so you can layer multiple recordings together.

And the archive gets insanely specific.

You can find creaking ships, old typewriters, jungle ambience, distant church congregations, and even someone vigorously washing their hands.

There is a good chance a BBC engineer recorded the exact sound you need decades before you were born.

Amazing documentary from Sweden showcasing how they made iron from raw clay they harvest in a bog. This method is how they made raw materials for tools, weapons and export from the early iron age until the industrial revolution!

The first step is to dig up clay rich in iron ore from a bog. The clay is left to dry in piles and then transported to a foundry nearby the bog.

At the foundry the first step is the roast the raw material. This is to remove moisture and biological material. The temperature of the fire is around 500-600°C but not higher since the material should not melt yet. This shrinks the raw material to 50% of it's original mass, sometimes to a third of it's original mass. This process takes 2-4 hours.

As this happens the men prepare the foundry. In a stone clad hole in the ground with an air vent at the bottom firewood is stacked. When this is lit on fire the men takes careful precautions to not allow it to burn up completely. After an hour the firewood is turned into charcoal used to turn the now refined iron ore into iron ingots. The roasted iron ore is placed into the bed of coal will sink slowly sink to the bottom of the pit as the coal burn with a temperature in-between 1200-1400°C, the men peak into the airhole at the foundry and can tell from the colour of the temperature is correct or if they need to adjust it. The bellows blows 350L of air into the foundry per turn and the entire process takes up to four hours.

The lump of iron is still full of slag and byproduct. To remove this its beaten with a hammer on site. At a smiths workshop a smith continue to hammer our out the byproducts until it's refined enough for production!

In the forests there are many traces of iron ore refinement. The foundry's can still be found in good condition even if they have not been in use for over 500 years and traces of slag and byproduct still litter the ground.

Understanding what the issue is, and resolving it with humility and empathy- great lesson I can learn and emulate.

Tom Hanks originally had no accent planned for Forrest Gump (1994), but after director Robert Zemeckis realized the child actor playing young Forrest couldn’t mimic his voice, Hanks rebuilt the entire character’s speech around the boy’s real Mississippi drawl instead.
