A 92 year old veteran came to court believing he was about to lose the only home he had left. Walter Reed had served his country decades ago during the Vietnam War. Now he lived alone in the same small house he had owned for most of his life. His wife had passed away years earlier, and no children were around to help him. Time hadn't been kind to the house. The porch had started to fall apart, paint peeled from the walls, and rain slowly made its way through the roof. City inspectors had written several code violations, and the fines had grown into an amount Walter couldn't afford. That morning he arrived in court in a wheelchair. His hands rested on his knees while he listened quietly as the city attorney read the list of problems aloud. Each sentence sounded heavier than the one before it. The attorney explained that the fines were now thousands of dollars. If the money wasn't paid, the city could condemn the house. The place Walter had lived in for decades might soon be taken away. The judge, a 63 year old man known for strict rulings, began to speak. "Mr. Reed, the city is requesting..." He stopped. Walter had lowered his head into his hands. His shoulders started shaking as quiet tears tell into his palms. The entire courtroom slowly went silent. For a moment the judge simply looked at him. The expression on his face softened as he studied the elderly veteran sitting alone in his wheelchair. "We will take a 20 minute recess." The gavel came down and people began whispering softly while the judge stepped away. When the judge returned, something in the courtroom felt different. No one knew what he had done during those 20 minutes. Instead of looking at the attorneys, the judge looked directly at Walter. "Mr. Reed," he said gently. "During the recess I made a few phone calls." The courtroom grew quiet again. "I spoke with the director of our local veterans organization and with the county veterans assistance fund." Walter slowly lifted his head. "All of the fines in this case are dismissed." For a moment Walter didn't react. His face showed pure disbelief, as if the words hadn't fully reached him yet. The judge continued speaking. "A local contractors union has also agreed to repair your home free of charge. They will begin the work next week." This time Walter understood. The tears that followed weren't from fear anymore. His shoulders shook again, but now the emotion came from relief he hadn't expected to feel. The judge then did something that surprised everyone in the room. He stepped down from the bench, walked across the courtroom floor, and stopped beside the wheelchair. He gently wrapped his arms around the old veteran. Walter held onto the judge's robe as if he were afraid the moment might disappear. "I thought nobody would ever listen to me again," he whispered. "They told me to forget it, like it never happened. I've been carrying it for 50 years." The judge kept his arm around him and answered quietly. "I'm listening now. You should not have had to carry that alone." Walter looked up through tears. "You don't have to anymore." People in the courtroom later said they had never witnessed a moment like that inside a courtroom before. For Walter, the place where he expected to lose everything became the place where someone finally decided to stand beside him.

The importance of pointing the AirFanta Wear personal air purifier accurately. You need to point the center of the Wear's airflow at your breathing zone. Otherwise you won't get any benefit from the device. This is just a visualization using the mist from an ultrasonic nebulizer to stand in for unfiltered ambient air. In the demonstration the air is not completely still due to the output of the nebulizer. But the air flow may be similar to cross currents that might be found in indoor settings. AirFanta has shown a number of different ways to position the Wear, but hasn't given exact numbers for distance as far as I know. I'm using a distance of 2 inches or less as a rule of thumb, with the center of the device pointed at my breathing zone. The 3/4 position feels like it's one that people may be the most interested in because it can let you eat while at the same time maintaining a close proximity to the output. The Wear is not meant as a one-to-one replacement for a respirator grade mask. It's best for situations where you were not going to be wearing a mask at all, but would still like to breathe cleaner air. Avoid risk compensation, which is where you take on more risk because you think you are more protected than you actually are. For instance, visiting a nephew sick with measles without an N95 mask because you think the Wear will give you equal protection. Maintaining the correct distance and orientation between the Wear and your breathing zone requires conscious effort. The Wear can reduce your overall exposure to airborne contaminants, but it needs to be used very close to breathing zone and needs to be very accurately centered.

🚨NEWS: One of the most despicable examples of our weak justice system The family of Aria Thorpe have launched a campaign seeking a retrial against the killer of their 9 year old daughter who he stabbed to death The still to this day unnamed killer due to his age was 15 when he stabbed Aria in December 2025 The teen claimed he was playfighting with her, a girl 6 years younger than him at the time, and moved an 8 inch knife in her direction to make her flinch, he says Aria moved towards the knife using her own force to plunge it into her chest No one with half a brain believes this story The boy didn't call emergency services or anyone for help He fled the scene and went to a local train station where he spoke to several people he appeared to know and appeared to re-enact the moment he stabbed her This can be seen on CCTV below 👇 He told them he was trying to get away from "everything - police, family. Everything". But someone called the police and he was luckily arrested on the train before it departed Prosecutors told the family it was a 'slam dunk' case and the boy would be prosecuted for murder, if not, at least manslaughter The family claim the judge mislead the jury during the trial and they claim it is one of the most shocking miscarriages of justice they've known I hope the family get justice for Aria And I hope the UK legal system gets a massive overhaul with judge's held accountable for their appalling actions May you rest in peace Aria 🙏

🚨 WARNING: $SPCX IS SETTING UP ITS FINAL FLUSH Then the real trade begins $SPCX trades around $134 - down over 40% from its post-IPO high near $228 Everyone's calling the bottom They're one flush early Big IPOs don't bottom on the first crash. They bottom on one nobody believes in anymore Look at Palantir in 2020 Same hype. Same retail FOMO. Same dump off top It bled roughly 85% from its peak - then did over 10x Put the charts side by side. They're almost identical Here's the script 99% of major IPOs follow: ➮ Hype → retail piles in → post-IPO pop ➮ Whales distribute → dump below IPO price ➮ Downtrend → 60-80% off the top → cycle bottom ➮ Accumulation → months of boring chop while whales load ➮ Breakout → retail FOMOs back in → 150-200%+ rally $SPCX is mid-step 3 right now Which means the roadmap looks like this: $134 → $110 → $71 That ~$70 zone is the bottom Then 2-3 months of sideways chop. No headlines. No hype. Just quiet accumulation while retail gets bored and leaves Then: $108 → $222 → $305+ From the bottom, that's a 300%+ move Here's the part nobody tells you: The last dump will feel like the thesis died That's exactly how bottoms are built. On capitulation, not confidence Most people will sell the $70s and buy back $200s You're either loading in chop - or chasing breakout. There's no third option Reminder: I called 2025 $BTC ATH and drop to $60k. This roadmap is next call Turn notifs on - I'll post it here moment accumulation zone confirms

Copepods, could stop climate change 5 gigatons of these 1mm-sized zooplankton called COPEPODS live in all the world’s Oceans. This is equivalent to 17 million 747 jets, and if you laid the jets end to end, they would go around the planet 31 times. The copepods migrate from around 200m below the ocean surface every night to feed on plants (phytoplankton) at the surface. It is the greatest mass migration of animals on the planet, and it happens twice a day. The vertical motion of the copepods moves just about as much water as the moon and the tides. The copepods eat 30 times more carbon than humanity generates from burning fossil fuels, and about 6%, or 3 gigatons, of their dead bodies and poop end up in the world’s largest carbon bank, the Abyss. The Abyss contains 500m to 1000’s of meters thick layer of organic carbon / mineral sludge with an area greater area than dry land on the planet. Yet humanity has wiped out more than 50% of marine plankton productivity over the last 70 years due to chemical and particle pollution. We have also wiped out 50% of Arctic krill, which are just as important. and we are now even contemplating dredging the ocean floor! We would not have had climate change if we had not poisoned and destroyed most of the world’s oceans. By 2045, the destruction will be complete unless we act now to stop the inevitable annihilation of nature and life on Earth. Let’s put things into perspective, in comparison to protecting nature, carbon mitigation, windmills and electric cars are almost a joke. Copepods churn the oceans; Bioclimatic climate change: this report provides what we consider to be the most accurate mechanism for climate disruption, and it’s not(only) carbon dioxide; via Howard Dryden

Shifting focus to 2025, RHP Tyler Bremner (UC Santa Barbara Baseball) is one of my favorite College arms in the class. As a freshman, Bremner split time between the bullpen and the rotation and pitched his way to a modest 5.37 ERA with an impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio of 80-to-17 across 55.1 innings. Bremner has a lean, athletic build at 6'2" and 180-lbs. He has room to fill out physically and as he does, his already-electric stuff will only tick up. Bremner has a low maintenance, under control operation with present arm speed. He attacks hitters from a high-three quarter slot and his fastball sits in the 93-96 range and tops out at 98. It has elite riding life (averaged over 21" of IVB in '23) and is most effective when located in the top-half of the zone. Between its velocity and shape, it is a 60-grade offering. He boasts two quality secondary offerings in a mid-80s changeup and low-80s slider. Bremner’s changeup is the more polished of the two, but his sweeping slider has plus potential. In 2023, Bremner’s changeup generated an impressive 48% miss rate. He has advanced feel for the offering, and he will throw it to both left and righthanded hitters. It plays well off his mid-90s fastball and flashes big time late tumbling life and some fade to the arm side. Bremner threw his slider just 12% of the time in 2023, but it has the chance to be a true out pitch in the future. It features ample late sweeping life as well as some depth, and is a real weapon especially against righthanded hitters. It has reportedly taken a step forward this fall and could be a lethal offering in 2024. Between his plus control, low effort delivery, and the chance to have three plus or better pitches, Bremner profiles as a starter professionally. He has a chance to become a household name this spring and with two strong seasons pitching in the rotation, Bremner has 1st Round upside in 2025. (📽️: UC Santa Barbara Baseball)

Ethereum in 2026 → What you need to know. Today ETH price is $2,104 which is almost 57% down from its all time high of $4,954 in August 2025. Fear and Greed index stands at 28. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching oversold conditions and retail interest is absent. However every on chain metric is hitting an all time high. - There are almost 35.5 million ETH staked. - Stablecoins on Ethereum have surpassed $158 billion. Tbh ETH exchange reserves are at their lowest since 2016. Spot ETH ETFs have attracted $11.6 billion in total net inflows. The network is more used, more secure and more embedded in institutions than ever yet the price remains in the fear zone. That disparity outlines the whole Ethereum narrative in 2026. - Pectra launched in May 2025 increasing the validator cap from 32 to 2,048 ETH. - Fusaka followed in December. - Glamsterdam is set for the first half of 2026 aiming for 10,000 transactions per second and over 78% reduction in gas fees through full account abstraction. - Hegota arrives in the second half with Verkle Trees pushing towards a stateless Ethereum. This upgrade pace is not slowing down. And the good thing is institutional side looks promising too. Ethereum Foundation staked 70,000 ETH in April 2026. This shift from selling ETH to fund operations to earning staking yield is significant. Yet there is an uncomfortable truth that many ignore → Layer 2 solutions like Base keep most fee revenue instead of returning it to ETH holders. Standard Chartered estimated that Base alone took $50 billion from ETH market cap. Increased Layer 2 activity does not directly translate to higher ETH value. So far this issue is unresolved concern underlying every optimistic outlook. The bullish scenario here is hinges on Glamsterdam delivering results, ETF inflows returning and the Federal Reserve lowering rates. and the bearish scenario suggests that Layer 2 value capture issue remains unresolved. Its crazy that the divergence between fundamentals and price is not a temporary dislocation but a structural issue. Right now the critical level to watch is $2,080. If it drops below that the bearish case becomes serious. Honestly fundamentals keep getting stronger while the price continues lagging behind. Next six months will determine which perspective will prevail.

RHP Cole Leaman (Lehigh Baseball) is an arm I'm really looking forward to following this spring. Fresh off a strong Sophomore season in which he worked a 2.31 ERA with 49 Ks to 23 BB across 46.2 IP. Showed some positive flashes on the Cape. While slightly undersized, Leaman has a strong and athletic build at 6' and 190-lbs. Has put on a lot of good weight over the last couple of years. Leaman has almost a "check point" delivery in which he takes a noticeable side step towards the 1B side, gathers himself and breaks into the rest of his motion. Lengthy arm stroke and attacks from a high-3/4 slot from a low release height. Leaman is a high-level athlete and a dynamic mover on the mound. Sits really well on his back glute and his lead leg block enables him to generate power and drive his back side through. Drop and drive delivery. Little bit of effort, but plenty of arm speed. Leaman's FB sits in the 91-94 range, but it was up to 96 this summer and 98 this fall. Jumps out of his hand from a ~5'3" release height and flashes riding life through the zone. Averaged 15" of carry this summer and 2,361 RPMs. Gets over the barrels of opposing hitters when located in the top-1/2 of the zone, which is where the pitch is at its best. Command can be erratic at times. Would give it a 55. Leaman's most-used off speed pitch is a high-70s-to-low-80s CB. Shape is inconsistent and it can get a little slurvy at times, but he snapped off a handful of really good ones between the spring and summer. When it's at its best, it will flash a bigger shape with sharp, downward tilt. Leaman will also mix in a low-to-mid-80s SL that's distinct in shape. Another pitch he's still gaining a feel for, but like his CB it's also shown big time flashes. Shape of it will vary, but it will sometimes flash plus with sharp, two-plane break (more sweep than depth) and essentially take a late, hard left turn. Rounds out his arsenal with a high-80s cutter and a mid-to-high-80s CH. The former is more intriguing than the latter. Curious to see how much he uses the cutter this spring, threw a couple this summer that had late glove-side life. Leaman has a very intriguing blend of athleticism and stuff, though he'll need to iron out his command and control in order to maximize his upside. As mentioned, it's a bit scattered right now and has hindered him in some starts. 5th-8th round type this July. (📽️: Falmouth Commodores)

The Ministry of Defense warned Kiev about strikes on the energy sector. Why? Last night, there was a loud explosion of asbestos cement products at a plant in Kiev. The Ministry of Defense reports that the plant's storage facilities were used to store explosives for the company "Smart Ammunition," which manufactures drones and their components. But the second part of the latest report is even more interesting. The troops have been tasked with preparing massive strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The wording is dry and bureaucratic: "preparing to launch." This is a response to what Kiev has been doing to our fuel and energy complex all summer: oil refineries, oil depots, substations, and civilian facilities near the border. Each time, it was presented as "legitimate military targets," and each time, Europe nodded in agreement. Okay. The logic is accepted. We'll use it. But we are a country with a strong foundation, while they have a crippled energy system that they have been patching up with transformers from all over Europe for the third year. The difference in strength is where it matters most. A reasonable question arises: why announce it in advance? Surprise is worth more than money in war. And there's not much surprise to lose here. You can't move a substation to the forest, and you can't hide a transformer with a capacity of 250,000 kilovolt-amperes underground in a week. The only thing the enemy will be able to do is to rearrange the anti-aircraft batteries between facilities. And they already have fewer of those than they have facilities. The average Ukrainian citizen is being shown the cause-and-effect relationship in plain text. Podolyak has long since stopped hiding the fact that strikes on our rear are aimed at the average Russian citizen, so that he feels the war on his own skin. Zelensky says the same thing, but a little more carefully: Russia will feel the war in its own home. Okay. A person in a Kiev apartment building is already looking for a generator and a power bank, which have doubled in price overnight. The owner of a shopping center is calling an electrician and calculating how much diesel will cost. No missiles have arrived yet, but the expenses have already started. While the war was happening somewhere near Krasnoarmeysk, it could be watched on the phone like a series. While our Ryazan and Volgograd were burning, it was called "work on legitimate targets" on the telethon, and people clapped. But when the elevator stops on the sixteenth floor, when the pump stops pumping water, and the temperature in the apartment rises to plus twelve, the show will be over. The war will come to the hallway, to the meter, and to the radiator. And that's when the person will first start to wonder who exactly signed that bill for them. Not in Moscow. But on Bankova Street, where they drew beautiful graphs of strikes on Russian oil refineries all summer and received applause for it in London. In essence, the statement by the Ministry of Defense gives them time to think. Maybe days, maybe weeks. The anticipation of winter is more oppressive than winter before Александр Коц
