Shopify billionaire co-founder & CEO Tobi Lütke — one of the most analytically rigorous founders alive — uses affirmations.
His exact words:
"If you tell yourself or write down something about yourself 100 times, it writes into the neurofrontal cortex at such a deep level that your brain will start reconciling you to that. It just works."
His personal example:
He was terrified of public speaking.
For one week he sat down every day for 10 minutes and wrote: "I love public speaking."
A week later the fear was gone.
"It's not like a placebo. You just actively change your neurofrontal cortex in this moment."
Your brain starts shaping your behavior around the identity you rehearse most.
Married couples don't need another "dinner and a movie" date.
You need something that makes you feel like people again, not two tired roommates coordinating bedtime and dishwashing schedules.
Here are 42 things to do with your wife that actually reconnect you:
My coworker bought a basic 2-bedroom starter house for $210,000 in 2018 with a 3.2% interest rate.
His monthly payment was $1,150.
His younger brother just bought the exact same floor plan in the same neighborhood for $390,000 at a 6.8% interest rate.
His monthly payment is $2,700.
The brother earns $25,000 more a year than my coworker did at his age, but has half the purchasing power and zero disposable income.
We didn't just experience inflation. We witnessed the complete destruction of generational wealth building in under six years.
Elon Musk was asked why every relationship follows the same pattern.
His answer showed more self-awareness than any interview he has given about his companies.
"I treat people like problems to be solved. That works everywhere except in love."
Everyone expected him to blame the schedule. The companies. The impossible demands on his time. The external factors that would let the pattern be someone else's fault.
He said the pattern starts the moment he identifies what a partner needs. He maps it the way he maps an engineering challenge. She needs attention on Tuesdays. She needs verbal affirmation after stressful days. She needs physical presence on weekends. He builds a system to deliver these outputs. And for a while the system works.
The problem is that the partner eventually feels the system. She realizes the affirmation that arrives on schedule is scheduled. The presence that appears on weekends is allocated, not chosen. The attention has the precision of a calendar reminder rather than the spontaneity of someone who simply wanted to be there.
He said every partner eventually said some version of the same thing: "I don't want you to manage me. I want you to want me." The distinction between managing and wanting is invisible to his operating system. Both produce the same output: showing up, saying the right thing, being present. But one comes from optimization and the other comes from desire. And the human nervous system can feel the difference even when the behavior is identical.
He solved the output problem perfectly. He never solved the source problem. The actions were right. The origin of the actions was engineering, not emotion. And love, apparently, checks the origin.
This is not a movie. Security cameras at the Nepal-Tibet border just recorded a flash flood burying an entire border crossing in real time. Ground and aerial footage show the scale of what hit the region. Hundreds still missing.
🚨🇳🇵🇨🇳 More footage of that apocalyptic mudslide that hit the Nepal-Tibet border earlier today...
The Bhote Koshi River surged without warning, sweeping away roads, bridges, and everything and everyone in its path.
Hundreds are missing, and based on what we're seeing, it's highly likely many, if not most, are dead.
F***ing terrifying... 💔

🚨#BREAKING: A Democrat will now win AUTOMATICALLY after the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race....
...BECAUSE NO ONE WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SH0TS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!
Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.
Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."
He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving away.
Nobody has been arrested.
Nobody has been charged.
Nobody has been named.
Marin's family couldn't stay.
They FLED District 1 entirely, which made him ineligible to run there.
He withdrew in March and wrote that his kids "carry emotional trauma that deepens with each passing day without answers or accountability."
Yesterday, the Board of Elections confirmed the county GOP never filed a replacement before the deadline.
Democrat Morris McAdoo wins the seat unopposed.
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!
🚨 NOW: Spencer Pratt’s footage is going VIRAL after TikTok TOOK IT DOWN off their platform
“The Lindsay Clancy mass psychosis proves that a lot of people need to have their Wifi taken away…”
It’s spreading like wildfire!
Censorship only makes Spencer’s voice louder!
THIS IS THE POWER OF X
Elon Musk was asked what changes when you start dating as the richest person on the planet.
His answer was darker than anyone expected.
"Everyone becomes a performance."
The room expected complaints about gold diggers. About people wanting his money. About the difficulty of knowing who's genuine. The standard rich-person lament about trust.
He said it's subtler than that. It's not that people lie. It's that people become the version of themselves they think he wants to see. Every conversation is slightly adjusted. Every reaction is slightly managed. Every person he meets is running a calculation, usually unconsciously, about what to say and what to withhold based on who he is. The natural, unfiltered human interaction that most people take for granted doesn't exist in his world.
He said the last time someone was genuinely casual with him was years ago. The kind of casual where a person says something stupid and laughs about it without wondering how the richest man alive judged the stupidity. That effortlessness disappears the moment someone knows his net worth. The money builds a glass wall between him and every person he meets. He can see through it. They can see through it. But neither side can touch the other through it.
He said the loneliest version of wealth isn't having nobody around. It's having everyone around and knowing that every interaction is filtered through a number they saw on a headline. The person in front of him is responding to $200 billion, not to Elon. And $200 billion isn't a person you can have dinner with. It's a concept that sits between him and every human being he'll meet for the rest of his life.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Jaw-dropping fraud report just found that 9.2 million people — including ILLEGAL ALIENS — do NOT meet the federal requirements to qualify for the Obamacare Medicaid expansion program...that's nearly HALF of those enrolled
50% FRAUD 🤯
The problems are the worst in CA and NY. IMAGINE THAT.
"The study says New York and California have some of the biggest problems, finding up to 62% of people enrolled in California are not eligible. And the states might not even be incentivized to fix the issue."
"This study says some of those people actually make too much money to qualify for this Medicaid expansion program and others are getting these benefits, even though they're here in the country illegally!"
The entire system has to be gutted! Purge the rolls!
Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn’t misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn’t agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover.
They’re not broken. They’re calibrated differently. They don’t avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it’s deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn’t mean loneliness. It means higher standards.
That’s not antisocial behavior. That’s emotional intelligence.
Patrick Clancy worked from home full-time specifically to support Lindsay.
Lindsay Clancy’s husband paid for her 2 oldest children to be in daycare, he also paid for a nanny that looked after the baby 3 days a week.
And the feminists blame the husband.
What more could this man whose children were murdered have done to support her?
Many men wouldn’t have hung around but he loved her.
She also had a big support network of multiple therapists, psychiatrists, her parents, his parents & other friends & family.
a lot of people have asked why i did this, and I’ve taken some time to reflect on my actions. after careful consideration, i’d like to sincerely apologize… to absolutely no one. fuck him and that little gremlin of a dog.
AMERICAN AIRLINES WILL GIVE AWAY YOUR SEAT BEFORE YOU’VE ACTUALLY MISSED YOUR FLIGHT
the system is called AURA. it predicts who won’t make their connection and rebooks them in advance, even if you made it in time.
gate staff physically can’t reverse it once it happens. the algorithm got it wrong, and you’re the one dealing with the fallout.
this isn’t one isolated complaint. a Washington Post columnist, a media consultant, and dozens of passengers in a separate Miami incident all described the exact same thing.
the airline’s prediction accuracy is 90%. the remaining 10% are real people who lost their seat over something that never happened.
here’s what to do if it’s you: don’t walk away from the gate quietly. demand a written denied boarding statement, that’s your legal right, not a favor from the agent. it’s official denied boarding, not “the flight is closed.”
under DOT rules, you’re owed up to $2,150 if you were at the gate 15+ minutes before departure with a valid boarding pass. that’s not a courtesy from the airline, it’s an obligation under 14 CFR Part 250.
don’t settle for “just take the next flight” until you get what you’re legally owed, not what’s convenient for them.
JUST IN: The recipient of Minnesota’s “Outstanding Refugee” award, Salman Elmi, was just CHARGED with Defrauding Medicaid and $1M Sex Trafficking Ring
But wait, there’s MORE.
The same agency that awarded Elmi is the SAME agency that gives out Medicaid payments.
You can’t make this up.
🔻 In 2011, a neuroscientist at MIT, Dr. Li-Huei Tsai, made a discovery that should have been on the front page of every newspaper on Earth.
She exposed mice with advanced Alzheimer’s disease to a flickering light flashing at exactly 40 Hz—forty times a second. Nothing more. No dope. No operation. Light of a particular frequency.
Within an hour the amyloid-beta plaques in their brains, the protein deposits that define Alzheimer’s, started to dissolve. Not slow at all. Not slowly. In 60 mins.
Plaque levels were reduced by 50% after 7 days of daily exposure to 40 Hz. The mice then regained their memory. Their neurons began firing in sync again. Microglia, the brain’s immune cells, were activated and began cleaning up the toxic buildup like a cleaning crew that had been asleep for years.
The study appeared in Nature. The planet's most prestigious scientific journal. Peer Reviewed . Reproduced. Verified. That was 2016. Year is 2026.
Alzheimer's affects 40 million people worldwide. Pharmaceutical companies earn $13 billion a year on drugs that don’t alter the course of Alzheimer’s disease. Not one of 'em. They slow it down. Possibly. Temporarily. At $26,000 per patient per year.
It costs less than a dollar to make a 40 Hz light.
Dr. Tsai remains at MIT. Her research goes on. It is in phase III human trials. But you'll never see this on the news at evening time. You won’t hear your doctor talk about it. You can’t buy it at any drug store.
Because you can't sustain a $13 billion industry on a free frequency.
The light is 40 Hz. The frequency is a real. The science is settled. And there are still 40 million people waiting for permission to use it.

It has been revealed that NYC-DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo owns a $1.5M townhouse that his parents bought him. He’s also the beneficiary of a trust fund and could possibly own more undisclosed properties.
Born in Peru and raised in Miami, he now lives in a 6-bedroom row house in the historically black neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. He’s literally the definition of a gentrifier and is actively helping displace black people, according to what his own organization preaches.
It’s also been revealed that, despite claiming to be a “union electrician”, his parents are multimillionaires and own an engineering company with multiple offices across the world and the U.S.
You literally cannot make this up. Is everyone in the DSA a fraud? Or are they all just rich kids who got bored and have nothing better to do with their lives?
