I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

you have no idea how much better it is getting

just this week:

- a child was successfully implanted after embryo screening for IQ in the 99.99th percentile. the default human is already being upgraded
- the first ever reverse-aging drug was injected into a human. Life Biosciences by @davidasinclair , so it begins
- Sinclair also announced plans to test an oral reprogramming pill in the $101M XPRIZE. whole-body rejuvenation. a pill you swallow
- Retro Biosciences raised new funding at a $1.8B valuation
- @newlimit announced its first medicines headed to the clinic. Brian Armstrong's $3.1B longevity bet is moving from lab to human
- Junevity published PNAS research validating transcription factor modulation can reverse cellular aging. first-in-human trials starting H2 2026
- retatrutide phase 3 confirmed 70 pounds lost on average. no plateau. bariatric surgery territory from a weekly injection

this is just week one of June 2026

After 25 years of brave & brilliant work by hundreds of scientists in my lab to understand then safely reverse aging for the first time, it was moving to witness the first human dose being delivered 🥹 https://t.co/veQsyUEORz

Everyone asks if Atlas can bring them a drink, but this robot can bring you the whole fridge. Using AI-driven behaviors, Atlas is doing hard work and coordinating its whole body to manage heavy objects, balancing complex contact points with accuracy and reliability.

a founder has three jobs. everything else is serious amounts of noise.

1. you have to tell the story. roughly in three registers. first investors need inevitability. customers need to *feel* what you do/stand for. & your team needs a mission worth their best years.

2. you must secure the capital before you need it. running out of money is running out of options. you have to be relentless about it.

3. you must obsess over the product. product is the story made accessible for everyone. every shipped detail is a sentence back into the narrative in point number one.

this is the entire job.

everything else you either delegate or kill. early on with a really small team, delegation is a huge tax so you have to learn to kill more than you delegate.

to this day, IMO the best intro to arithmetization in zero-knowledge proofs is the first pudding session here https://t.co/Sz1u6JB87C (which goes from R1CS to AIR to plonkish!)

[Antonio Lupetti @antoniolupetti]

This is Algebrica. A mathematical knowledge base I’ve been building for 2.5 years.

215+ entries, carefully written and structured.

400k+ views over this time. Not much in absolute terms, but meaningful to me.

No ads.
No courses to sell.
No gamification.
No distractions.

Just essential pages, aiming to explain mathematics as clearly as possible, for a university-level audience.

Built simply for the pleasure of sharing knowledge.

If it helps even a few people understand something better, it’s worth it.

I’ve been rewatching with my kids a vintage series on YouTube “The Modern World: Ten Great Writers”. I don’t think this has ever been surpassed as a guide to modern literature. The seamless fusion of expert analysis and dramatic re-enactments of the great plays, novels and poems of the 19th and 20th century is superbly well done. There’s also the fascination of seeing all kinds of actors in youthful roles such as Tim Roth playing Joseph K or David Suchet as Leopold Bloom.

@netflix should set themselves the challenge of producing a series like this on world literature covering everything from The Odyssey and Don Quixote to The Tale of Genji and Lu Xun.

[George Pu @TheGeorgePu]

GitLab's founder was told he has bone cancer.

No trials would take him. Doctors signed off.

So he went founder mode on his own survival.

- Built his own treatments
- Used AI to analyze his own tumor data
- Open-sourced 25TB of his medical records for any researcher on earth

Relapse-free since 2025.

The system said he was out of options.

He made his own.

This little illuminated dragon is very happy about Pretext. He's too busy having fun to care about people's "hot takes" on how "it's not that special."

(This little dragon also only works on desktop right now but maybe I'll do mobile later)

This one actually made me pause.

Scientists built a robot made of liquid.
Not flexible.
Liquid.

It can split, merge, squeeze through tiny spaces, and then re-form.
When it breaks, it heals itself.

No motors.
No joints.
No rigid body.

I’ve spent years thinking about AI as the brain of machines.
This feels like the first glimpse of something else.

A body that does not have a fixed shape.

Today it’s millimeter-scale.
Tomorrow, it’s medicine moving through the body, or machines exploring places nothing solid can reach.

That thought excites me.
And honestly, it unsettles me too.

So here’s the question.
When machines no longer have a stable form, what does “control” even mean?

Best time!

[Tim Murkomen @Tim_Murkomen]

African stories, African innovation, African growth.

Platforms like @Web3Clubs prove that when leaders support creators, the Buy Africa, Build Africa movement isn’t just a vision - it’s a reality!

Proud to see such spaces fostering this vision!

[Angella Okutoyi @Okutoyiangella2]

Guys we did it again.

‘I don’t have any sponsorship as of now. Anyone out there willing, I’d be grateful’

Kenya’s tennis star Angella Okutoyi makes a heartfelt appeal for sponsorship as she prepares for the next chapter of her career🙏🏿

She moved into a career high 476 this week🔝
