Gassed up launch on Robinhood today on Pons, crazy lore here
We're at the point in the cycle where pre launches are going to heat up #MARIANHOOD
I just close my eyes and punt at these, the market is very frothy right now

Talulah Riley married Elon Musk twice and divorced him twice and said the hardest part wasn't the divorces. It was the fact that she was married to two completely different people inhabiting the same body.
She described a version of Elon that most people have never seen. A man who could be playful, tender, and present in a way that was almost childlike. A man who would get excited about a movie or a conversation or a silly joke with an enthusiasm that felt completely genuine. She said in those moments he was the most lovable person she had ever met.
Then the other version would arrive. Sometimes overnight. Sometimes mid sentence. The eyes would change. The warmth would disappear behind what she called a steel wall. He would become someone else entirely. Cold. Distant. Unreachable. The person she married would vanish and be replaced by a machine that was already back at the factory in its mind before its body had left the room.
She said the transitions weren't gradual. They were switches. One day she was married to the man she loved. The next day she was married to someone she didn't recognize. And the man she loved would return eventually, sometimes hours later, sometimes weeks later, with no acknowledgment that he had ever left.
She married him the first time because of the tender version. She divorced him because of the cold version. She married him again because the tender version came back and she believed it would stay. She divorced him again because it didn't.
Two weddings and two divorces to the same man who was never the same man twice.
pouring green tea on your scalp to block the hormone that causes hair loss sounds like wellness blog fiction until you read the research showing EGCG inhibits 5 alpha reductase and stimulates hair follicle growth in human dermal papilla cells. then it sounds like the cheapest DHT blocker on earth and you can drink it too
green tea has been consumed in East Asia for over 4,000 years. Japanese and Chinese populations have statistically lower rates of androgenetic alopecia than Western populations. multiple researchers have noted the correlation without proving causation. but the laboratory data on the active compound is unambiguous
the mechanism is EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). EGCG inhibits 5 alpha reductase, the same enzyme that finasteride blocks, the same enzyme that converts your testosterone into the DHT that shrinks your follicles. EGCG also stimulates human dermal papilla cell proliferation directly. it blocks the damage and promotes the growth through two separate pathways simultaneously. that's it. one compound. two mechanisms
• inhibits 5 alpha reductase activity by up to 50% in vitro studies. the same target as the $90/month prescription
• stimulates dermal papilla cell growth by 115% in a Japanese laboratory study on human follicle cells
• reduces scalp inflammation through potent antioxidant activity. EGCG neutralizes the free radicals that accelerate miniaturization in inflamed scalps
• extends the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle by modulating Wnt/beta catenin signaling in follicle stem cells
• blocks the binding of DHT to androgen receptors on the follicle. even the DHT that gets produced has a harder time causing damage
• delivers antiandrogen effects topically without systemic absorption. your hormones stay untouched. the follicle gets protected locally
finasteride blocks DHT systemically and costs $30 to $90 per month with a side effect profile that includes sexual dysfunction in 3 to 15% of users. green tea extract blocks DHT topically at the follicle level with zero systemic effects. the pharmaceutical approach earned Merck billions. the tea approach earns nobody anything. that's why you heard about one and not the other
brew 2 bags of organic green tea in 1 cup of hot water. let it cool completely. pour it over your scalp after shampooing. massage it in for 2 minutes. don't rinse. let it air dry. do this 3 to 4 times per week. for additional oral benefit, drink 2 to 3 cups of green tea daily. a box of 100 tea bags costs $6 and lasts over a month
4,000 years of consumption in cultures with the lowest hair loss rates on earth. laboratory confirmation of the exact mechanism. $6 for a month supply. and your dermatologist prescribed you the pill with the side effects instead.
researchers studying female orgasm discovered that the number one predictor of whether she finishes is not technique, not position, not size, and not duration. it's whether the man maintained a consistent rhythm without changing it.
a study on partnered female orgasm found that women who reported the highest orgasm frequency described partners who found a rhythm that worked and held it. the women who reported the lowest frequency described partners who constantly switched techniques, positions, speeds, and pressures.
the mechanism is arousal accumulation. female arousal doesn't build in a straight line. it builds in a staircase pattern. each step requires sustained consistent stimulation at the same rhythm for 30 to 90 seconds before the arousal locks in at that level and begins climbing to the next. change the rhythm and the staircase resets to a lower step. the arousal doesn't pause. it drops. she has to rebuild from a lower level.
this is why she says "right there don't stop" and means it literally. "right there" means the position is correct. "don't stop" means the rhythm has locked in and her arousal is climbing the staircase. the moment you change speed, angle, or pressure you reset the climb. she was 80% of the way up and you moved the ladder.
the instinct most men have is to escalate. go faster. go harder. switch to something more intense. this instinct actively prevents her orgasm because every escalation is a rhythm change and every rhythm change resets the accumulation.
the correct approach is counterintuitive: find the rhythm that makes her breathing change. then do exactly that. at exactly that speed. at exactly that pressure. for as long as it takes. the discipline to not change what's working is the single highest leverage skill in the entire act. monotony is the mechanism. consistency is the technique. her orgasm is on the other side of your ability to resist the urge to do something different.
The interviewer told Elon Musk that his pattern of needing to be in a relationship at all times showed "textbook codependence." Elon didn't argue. He didn't deflect. He sat with it.
Neil Strauss, the Rolling Stone reporter, had spent enough time with Elon to see the pattern clearly. Relationship ends. Emotional collapse. New relationship begins within weeks, sometimes days. The new relationship receives the same initial intensity. The same gradual withdrawal. The same ending. The cycle repeats.
Strauss pointed out that this pattern typically originates in childhood. A parent who gave love inconsistently. A child who learned that connection is unreliable and must be constantly secured. A boy who grew into a man who cannot tolerate being alone because alone once meant unloved.
Elon's childhood was exactly that. A father who alternated between attention and cruelty. A mother who was absent during formative years. A boy raised by books and a housekeeper who found warmth in stories because the people in his house didn't provide it reliably.
He didn't push back on the diagnosis. He absorbed it the way he absorbs technical feedback. Data received. Pattern recognized. Solution unclear.
The man who fixes everything cannot fix this. He has been told exactly what the problem is. He understands the origin. He can trace the wiring from Pretoria to Palo Alto to the bedroom where he lies awake unable to tolerate the silence. The diagnosis is complete. The understanding is total. And the pattern continues unbroken.
Codependence. Identified. Understood. Unchanged. The one system in his life that understanding alone cannot repair.
taking a plant compound to kill your own damaged cells sounds like science fiction until
you read the Mayo Clinic's research on senolytics and realize it's the most promising longevity intervention discovered in the last decade. then it sounds like a cheat code for aging
your body accumulates senescent cells as you age. these are damaged cells that refuse to die and refuse to function. they sit in your tissues secreting inflammatory signals that damage the healthy cells around them. researchers call them "zombie cells." by age 60, they account for a significant portion of chronic inflammation, joint pain, skin aging, and organ decline. that's it. that's what aging partly is. zombie cells accumulating faster than your body can clear them
• reduces senescent cell burden in human tissue. the Mayo Clinic called it "the first true senolytic" available without a prescription
• lowers inflammatory markers (IL6, TNF alpha) by up to 30% in clinical studies
• stabilizes mast cells more effectively than most over the counter antihistamines. natural allergy relief
• improves endothelial function, meaning your blood vessels become more flexible and responsive
• enhances zinc absorption into cells by acting as a zinc ionophore. the same mechanism that made it famous during the pandemic
• reduces exercise induced muscle damage and speeds recovery in trained athletes
the pharmaceutical industry is racing to develop patentable senolytic drugs. the compound that started the entire field of senolytic research, the one the Mayo Clinic used in their landmark studies, is a plant flavonoid available at every supplement store for $15 a bottle. they can't patent a molecule found in onions and apples. so they're building synthetic versions they can.
500mg quercetin plus 5mg dasatinib is the Mayo Clinic protocol (dasatinib requires prescription). quercetin alone at 500 to 1,000mg daily still provides senolytic and anti inflammatory benefits. take it with bromelain for absorption. take it with zinc to activate the ionophore effect. $15 per month.
you are clearing zombie cells from your own body with a compound extracted from onion skins. the longevity industry will charge $10,000 for the pharmaceutical version of what you can buy at a health food store today.
