If I could ask for one thing @TimJDillon please dress up as Susie Wiles and do a bit about her spreading Monsanto glysophate cancer everywhere for a handbag!

A banana in a Polish January delivers summerās deuterium without summerās light.
The entire food web is tied to light cycles.
Summer at 52Ā°N means long days, strong sunlight & carbohydrate availability from fruits, berries & honey.
By January, nothing is growing outside in Poland.
Deuterium is a big part of why that matters.
It is the heavy isotope of hydrogen, with one extra neutron that makes it twice as heavy.
Your mitochondria contain ATP synthase nanomotors spinning at roughly 9,000 rpm to produce ATP, driven by hydrogen ions flowing through them.
When deuterium reaches the motor in place of regular hydrogen, the extra mass disrupts its rotation & the motor stutters.
LĆ”szlĆ³ Boros, a Hungarian medical doctor & retired UCLA professor who studies deuterium, compares it to giving a juggler a ball that is suddenly twice as heavy.
Carbohydrates carry the most deuterium, protein sits in the middle & animal fats carry the least:
Coconut water ~155 ppm.
Wheat flour ~150 ppm.
Banana ~149 ppm.
Potatoes ~142 ppm.
Beef ~138 ppm.
Butter ~124 ppm.
Beef fat ~121 ppm.
In summer, or closer to the equator, higher-deuterium foods arrive together with much stronger red & near-infrared light.
That light reduces the viscosity of interfacial water inside the mitochondrial matrix.
The nanomotors then rotate more freely & produce ATP more efficiently, even when dietary deuterium is higher.
At 52Ā°N in winter, that photon pressure drops dramatically, & the food signal has to change with it.
So in winter, I eat fewer carbs, keep them local & shift more toward protein & fat.

I am speechless. Thomas Aquinas College just dropped a study on the rigor of the new SAT.
It compares the 1980/87 test with 2026. The findings should terrify every parent and teacher...
Vocabulary has collapsed.
Old SAT: 70.6% of questions tested vocab.
New SAT: 15%.
The old test forced students to know a wide range of words through analogies, antonyms, and sentence completions. The new test abandoned that. Most vocab questions now just ask students to fill in one blank from context.
Reading passages also got radically shorter (average ~97 words vs 300ā340).
The new test uses short expository passages and hands you the necessary background knowledge inside the text. The older tests leaned much more heavily on argumentative and persuasive writing, assumed far more historical, scientific, and cultural knowledge, and penalized students who lacked it.
This is a redefinition of what "college readiness" means.
If you believe that kids should develop rigorous vocabulary, be capable of sustained reading, and possess background knowledge, I have bad news for you. The SAT no longer measures these.
If you want a future where children can actually read difficult texts and construct complex arguments, the SAT must be replaced now.
This cannot go on.

Thereās a high probability that the CCP influenced Appleās decision to abandon its ambitions to enter the automotive market. FSD is obviously going to be a game changer, and the CCP is investing heavily in Chinaās auto industry.
Apple either chose or was told not to compete with the CCP.

Introducing Concurrence Research in pursuit of Superintelligent Care.
A patientās health is recorded in fragments, spread across different systems with long gaps between visits. The medical record shows what happened but very little about why, so by the time a pattern becomes evident, a better outcome has often slipped away.
Our research asks what becomes possible when we connect those fragments and understand a patient well enough to:
1/ Forecast the probable futures of their health before they unfold
2/ Find actions that change their trajectory
3/ Provide support beyond the encounter
4/ Carry learnings forward to every patient on a similar path
We believe the foundation of Superintelligent Care will be built on a Health World Model that provides a unified picture of every patientās life and health, with AI applications that have access to their living context.
Each patient will be represented as a digital twin, updated with every interaction to reflect their health and the circumstances that shape it.
Our goal at @concurrencehq is to push for deeper understanding on how clinicians and AI can work together to improve care for every next patient, and to build the systems that make it possible.
This is so dope! Iāve been looking for a tool just like this.
We're thrilled to announce the Superpower Peptide Library.
Every peptide, mapped to the body.
152 peptides, from approved drugs to compounds still in trials, sorted by where they act.
Each one has its own page, reviewed by a physician and fully cited, covering:
- the evidence and how strong it is
- its FDA status
- it's mechanism of action
- what studies in humans have found
Because not all peptides are equal.
Semaglutide is FDA-approved. BPC-157, maybe the most talked-about peptide for recovery and repair, is not. In a 2025 review of its research, 35 of 36 studies were in animals or the lab.
Know the science before you buy the hype.

Byron Scott says that Kobe Bryant would lift at 4am, come back and make 500 shots, do a full practice, then work out again at night, and says Kobe told him he did that because over the course of five years the gap would become impossible to close for his competition
āThereās three people in my lifetime that I admired on how hard they worked: Jerry Rice, Walter Payton, Kobe Bryant. His was legendary. Kobe, as far as he never worked out just once a day. He would get up at 4 in the morning, or heād say, āMeet me at the gym at 4 in the morning,ā and he would work out for two, three hours lifting because he knew he had to get stronger, had to get bigger.ā
āThen he would go eat breakfast, and then heād come back and heād make 500 shots, so heād be there another two hours. Then heād get ready for practice. Heād go through a two-and-a-half-hour, three-hour practice like itās nothing. Then heād go have lunch, chill out for another hour, then heād come back at night and work out again.ā
āAnd it was crazy to me because his method of it was scientific. He was like, āB, if I work out three times a day and all these other guys who are so-called great players work out just for practice, they just work out that one time a day, over a five-year period they canāt catch me. Iāve worked out that much. Iāve worked on my body, Iāve worked on my footwork, Iāve worked on my shot, so five, ten years from now they canāt catch me. Theyāre that far behind.āā
āI never thought about it until he explained it to me. I was a guy that in the summertime, go to the gym, lift weights, go to the track, run for two hours, then go play ā and thatās equivalent to three times a day. But I never thought of it or put it in the type of method that he was talking about.ā
āI just thought it was ironic that a young man got it that quickly. He understood that if I worked out harder and longer and more than the guy whoās supposed to be on my level, sooner or later he wonāt be on my level anymore. Kobe was extremely intelligent. He just said, āScientifically, if I do this, you canāt catch me.ā And he was right. It worked.ā
