Some people are upset that I said that doing Yoga is yoking yourself to demons.

So let’s see what the exorcists say about it…

Apple is quietly hoping you never open the Camera app settings.

I did.

There are 9 camera features hidden behind menus that turn the iPhone into a professional-grade camera ProRAW, Action Mode, 48MP full resolution, exposure lock, the 2x telephoto crop, portrait lighting, long exposure via Live Photos, the grid, and a Camera Control button most owners have never pressed properly.

A wedding photographer who shoots on an iPhone 16 Pro alongside her $4,000 Sony told me: "Half my Instagram portfolio is iPhone shots.

Nobody can tell which camera took which photo. The difference isn't the hardware it's the 9 settings that are turned off by default."

Most iPhone owners point, tap the shutter, and accept whatever the phone gives them. The phone can give them dramatically more. They've just never asked.

Here's every setting and why professional photographers turn them on first 🧵

A man had Google Photos backing up his phone for 6 years. Every few months, the "storage almost full" email showed up. He'd delete some old screenshots, buy a bit more Google One space, and move on.

His roommate, who'd spent a summer on a cloud infrastructure team, saw the email pop up on his laptop and asked to look at his settings. Nine minutes later she closed the laptop.

He said "did you actually fix it, or just delete stuff?"

She said "I didn't delete anything. You've had Google Photos on factory settings for 6 years — the version that backs up everything at maximum size and quietly counts every screenshot against your quota. That's not an accident, and it's not permanent."

Here's every setting she changed.

Amazon Prime costs $139 per year.

According to J.P. Morgan, it gives you $1,430 in benefits.

But most people only use two: shipping and Prime Video.

The rest, they lose out on.

Here are 12 Prime benefits that almost no one activates, including the 3 that vanish every 30 days:

This was tilmed yesterday at the community adoption event in San Diego, California. The dog is Duke, a 10-year-old German Shepherd being showcased for adoption. The veteran is Tech Sergeant James Parker, 39, Air Force, walking through the parking lot heading into the store. Duke served with James in Afghanistan from 2011-2013. When Duke retired from military service two years ago, James couldn't adopt him immediately-rental restrictions. Duke went into the adoption system. James had been searching for months through databases.
Yesterday, James was at the pet store buying supplies. Had no idea there was an adoption event happening. Duke was sitting with volunteers at the outdoor table.
Watch what happened. James walks through the parking lot. Duke's head snaps up. Sees James. Goes completely rigid.
Staring. Then breaks into a full sprint. Rips the leash from the volunteer's hand. Runs straight across the parking lot. Launches into James's chest. Both crash to the ground. Duke frantically checking James's face with his nose. Whining. Tail going insane. James wrapping both arms around Duke. Sobbing. "I've been looking everywhere for you. Everywhere." Volunteer told us: "Duke saw James and just took off. The recognition was instant. l've never seen anything like it." James adopted Duke immediately. Took him home yesterday. Ten years after serving together. Found by complete chance in a parking lot. James told us: "I searched every database for months. Never expected to find him at a random pet store. But Duke found me." Sometimes the reunion you're desperately searching for happens when you're just buying dog food.

A woman paid for Amazon Prime for 5 years before she realized she was using it wrong.

She'd ordered hundreds of packages. Watched a few shows on Prime Video. Never once looked past the "Buy Now" button.

Her cousin — who worked Amazon customer service for 3 years — was staying over for the holidays and watched her order a phone charger at full price.

She finally said: "Wait — can I see your account for a second? You're missing 9 things that come with the Prime you're already paying for. Amazon doesn't advertise most of these. They'd rather you not use them."

She changed 9 things in 10 minutes.

She saved $340 that month. Got a package a day early. Found $1,200 worth of stuff she already owned buried in a benefit she'd never opened.

Here's everything her cousin showed her:

Bert Kreischer is down to 235 lbs (106.6 kg) on Mounjaro, but he’s not loving it.

He feels sick all the time (“like I have cancer”), can barely eat anything except protein shakes, Italian subs, and donuts, and his trainer is telling him to slow down because he’s melting away too fast.

Bert: “I don’t think it’s healthy… I guess I’ll just feel like I’m sick forever.”

GLP-1 drugs like Mounjaro commonly cause nausea, fatigue, and reduced appetite as side effects, with studies showing 20-40% of users experience significant gastrointestinal issues, though many report these ease over time.

@WarlordDilley @reannadilley Side note - she is in assisted living and running out of money. Biden changed all the medicaid rules for assisted living.

[Traci @zippytm]

@WarlordDilley I know how @reannadilley feels! We are in a similar situation with my MIL, except we are on the long road to apply for medicaid because she has alzheimer’s. It’s been over 14 months and she has still not been accepted. The kicker - she is 93 years old……..

THE ONE WORD JESUS NEVER SAID

If Jesus only meant the Eucharist as a symbol, there is one word He could have used.

He never did.

That omission changed history.

It still divides Christianity today.

And once you notice it, it is difficult to unsee.

In John chapter 6, Jesus tells the crowd something that shocks them more than any miracle He had performed.

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven... the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

The crowd immediately understands His meaning.

Not symbolically.

Literally.

They begin arguing among themselves.

“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

This is the turning point.

If they had misunderstood Him, this was the perfect opportunity to clarify.

Imagine if Jesus had said,

“You misunderstood Me. I only meant this figuratively.”

Or,

“My flesh simply represents My teaching.”

Or,

“This is only a symbol.”

Instead, He does the exact opposite.

He repeats Himself.

Again.

And again.

With even stronger language.

“My flesh is true food.”

“My blood is true drink.”

“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.”

The Greek text becomes even more striking.

Earlier in the discourse, St. John uses the ordinary Greek verb for eating.

Then, as the tension rises, he changes to another verb that literally means “to chew” or “to gnaw.”

The language becomes more concrete, not less.

Jesus intensifies the claim instead of softening it.

Then something extraordinary happens.

Many of His own disciples leave.

Not His enemies.

His disciples.

They say,

“This saying is hard. Who can accept it?”

Notice what Jesus does next.

He lets them go.

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus often corrected misunderstandings.

When Nicodemus thought Jesus meant physical birth, Jesus explained.

When the disciples misunderstood the leaven of the Pharisees, Jesus explained.

When people thought He was speaking about literal sleep instead of death, Jesus explained.

But here, where His teaching causes many disciples to walk away...

He gives no correction.

No clarification.

No apology.

No pursuit.

Instead, He turns to the Twelve and asks,

“Will you also go away?”

Peter answers with one of the most beautiful professions of faith in Scripture.

“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

Notice that Peter does not say,

“Now we understand.”

He says, in effect,

“We do not fully understand, but we trust You.”

That is faith.

About one year later, at the Last Supper, Jesus fulfills what He promised.

He does not say,

“This symbolizes my body.”

He does not say,

“This reminds you of my body.”

He says,

“This is my body.”

“This is my blood.”

The first Christians understood these words exactly as they were spoken.

Around A.D. 107, while being led to martyrdom in Rome, St. Ignatius of Antioch warned Christians about those who refused to believe that the Eucharist is truly the flesh of Jesus Christ.

This is remarkable.

He wrote this only a few years after the death of St. John the Apostle.

The belief in the Real Presence was not a medieval invention.

It was the faith of the Apostolic Church.

A few decades later, St. Justin Martyr explained to the Roman Emperor that Christians did not receive ordinary bread and ordinary wine, but the flesh and blood of Christ made present through the words of Jesus.

Generation after generation, the testimony remains the same.

The Eucharist is not merely sacred.

It is Christ Himself.

This also explains something many people overlook.

Every miracle Jesus performed restored earthly life.

The blind received sight.

The lame walked.

The dead were raised.

But every one of those people eventually died again.

The Eucharist is different.

It is the only gift Jesus gave that is ordered toward eternal life itself.

“Whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

No prophet could make that promise.

No angel could make that promise.

Only God.
