I keep seeing this trend of photos and videos of women from the ’90s versus today with the Goo Goo Dolls’ song Iris playing in the background. — Here I am in 1998 at 28—before being saved by Jesus—and here I am today at 54. —I would never want to go back. I wore the saddest smile in the world back then. Praise Jesus, my life feels like it’s just beginning. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 What I carried in my heart back then was rejection and emptiness. What I carry now is His peace. “He lifted me out of the pit… and set my feet on a rock.” — Psalm 40:2 I’m grateful for every year He’s given me, because life in Christ is the only place I’ve ever truly lived. Let’s see yours!

A few days ago, I met someone I’ll never forget. His name is Austin. He’s homeless, lives on the beach… and yet, he might be the happiest, most genuine soul I’ve ever met. There was something different about him; this quiet peace, this joy, this deep kindness. Over the last couple of days, we shared some moments I’ll hold onto forever. I took him on his first rollercoaster ride. His first baseball game. We bought supplies/food together and gave back to other homeless people in need. I thought I was showing him a good time… but truthfully, Austin had the bigger impact on me. He reminded me of what really matters; gratitude, presence, connection. That happiness doesn’t always come from having more, but from appreciating what you already have. I offered to get him a place, to help him into a shelter, but he didn’t want it. The beach is his home. It’s his happy place. And I respect that. Before we parted, I got him a phone and made sure he had my number so we can always stay in touch. He’s not just someone I met, he’s a new friend. Thank you, Austin. Looking forward to more memories together 🫶🌊

🚨 There’s been a lot of debate about whether the Conor McGregor fight was fixed… I was there. I saw everything. Here’s my take. I filmed the two videos below as he walked into and out of the stadium. (Definitely take a second to watch them) What alarmed me the most about the first video was that there was no joy, excitement, or confidence as he headed toward the Octagon. As he walked into the sea of people, there ZERO percent hope in his eyes; complete deadpan. We all grew up watching Conor hype himself up before battle. That was NOT the Conor we’ve come to know. I’ve watched Conor make that walk dozens of times over the years. The swagger, the grin, the confidence; it was non existent. That’s what IMMEDIATELY caught my attention. The second I saw him, I knew was going to lose. This was his first UFC fight in five years, yet there was zero hope in his eyes? Just a completely blank expression? After all that 💩 talk? Really? To me, he looked like someone who already knew something wasn’t right. Whether it was his body, his preparation, or both, his energy was completely different. The second video shows him WALK back to the locker room. Yes, without a noticeable limp, he WALKED back with that same hopeless look in his eyes. I know 10+ people who have blown out ACLs, and none of them were casually walking around minutes later. That made me think one of two things: He already knew he was dealing with a serious injury, and that kick simply made it much worse. OR He straight up lied about his health, and planned to do a wild kick to blame the injury on in order to cash the check Regardless, it’s unfortunate how it ended. The highest selling gate in UFC history ended up being one of the biggest letdowns the sport has ever seen. Growing up means watching your heroes become human. I sincerely hope Conor continues his spiritual journey with Jesus, gets back to 100%, and returns one more time because we’d all still pay to see it. Shout out to Paddy for saving the night. What do you think? Do you believe Conor knew about the injury before the fight? Do you believe his tweet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. 👇🏼

The much missed bona fide national treasure, Dame June Whitfield was born 100 years ago today. She came to prominence way back in 1953 while appearing in the hugely popular radio show, Take it From Here, alongside Jimmy Edwards and Dick Bentley. From there her career went from strength to strength and by the time she appeared in Hancock's Half Hour as the nurse in the legendary episode, The Blood Donor, she'd been a household name for a number of years. Seriously, I cannot think of a more versatile actor than June Whitfield. Her Miss Marple, which she did for BBC Radio, is absolutely superb and I listen to it often. I had the pleasure of interviewing her about a year before she died. The subject was Kenneth Connor, who she knew and had worked with on several occasions (most notably in Carry On Abroad) and, just as you'd expect, she was charming and generous with her time. Anyway, I thought I'd post a quick blast from Ab Fab. It's a great line, beautifully delivered. God bless June Whitfield x

HE WAS FREE FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS… AND THE CLOCK WAS ALREADY TICKING. SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN A REPEAT OFFENDER IS RELEASED AND IMMEDIATELY REOFFENDS? In Baton Rouge, police had barely finished releasing surveillance photos before the public stepped in. Within hours, 22-year-old Jeremiah Taylor was identified and tracked down as the suspect. But this wasn’t the first time his name had surfaced. Taylor had previously been accused of drugging and r*ping another woman twice in August of 2024. At the time, he had just been released from jail on earlier burglary charges. The allegations sent shockwaves through the community, but the case would later take a controversial turn. On January 13, 2026, the charges against him were dropped, and Taylor walked out of jail a free man. Freedom didn’t last long. According to reports, only hours after being released, Taylor allegedly violated a protective order by returning to the very victim’s home who had accused him in the earlier case. The move raised serious questions about safety, accountability, and how quickly the system can unravel. Then came the surveillance photos. Police released images connected to a new investigation, and the public quickly recognized the man in them. Within hours, tips flooded in identifying Taylor. Less than two months after walking out of jail, he’s now back behind bars. The case has reignited a fierce debate about protective orders, dropped charges, and whether the justice system is doing enough to prevent repeat offenders from slipping through the cracks. AT WHAT POINT DO AUTHORITIES DECIDE SOMEONE IS TOO DANGEROUS TO KEEP RELEASING?

The final Epoch is now complete. DNA becomes fully deflationary. 3 years ago, we bet on a revenue-share model before it was the meta. While the market was chasing high inflation tokens, we were building a sustainable system for the first truly on-chain DAO on Multiversᕽ. It was an experiment, and it is now battle-tested. The proof is on-chain. Over the last 4 epochs, the DAO generated enough revenue to buy back over 6m $DNA from the total supply. Even with EGLD dropping ~90% since our token fair-launch (with no raise, pre-mine, allocations, or hidden unlocks) $DNA sits at roughly the same USD price today as it did on Day 1. The DNA/EGLD pair has outperformed the market and remained healthy, proving the model works even in the toughest conditions. Now, the dynamic flips. Emissions have officially ended. We are entering a full deflationary cycle. No more DNA will be printed, but the DAO will keep buying. We expect the value of DNA to reflect this scarcity, while the power of your Subject X NFTs remains the key to accessing that value. What’s next? We switch our focus fully to strengthening the MultiversX ecosystem. We are here to build tools, products, and open-source tech that grow the chain. When EGLD grows, our products grow. When our products grow, the DAO earns more. When the DAO earns more, $DNA gets stronger. Thank you to everyone who made this journey possible. History is written. Now we continue building.

I mean you do have a very good point, however I hope you can understand where I come from. (Sorry I’m advance for the long tweet back) This is exactly what I use to do when I was their age. We didn’t have the luxury of an independent scene we do now and even if we did I was 14 years old, I was only allowed to go to a training school to learn the basics. But I had an enormous passion for the business & if I wasn’t allowed to work shows I’d do it myself. - and I’d argue that because of this I had a head start on a lot of the people I trained with when I finally turned 18 From there I’ve been lucky enough to have the support of friends, peers & fans to push me into what I am today. The fact I’ve still had that same style for now 17 years and this is my first surgery, I think I’ve looked after my body. Think about it 17 years this is my first major injury. You think this is stupid, I would say it’s equally as stupid as to fall off a scaffolding breaking both your legs. And while I’m sure there’s a few people that wished you landed on your head, I for one hope you’re doing well & not in too much pain from your injury. But to me, it showed the care that you have for the industry at that time. I see myself in these guys that are finding any outlet to do what they love. Their bumps are solid & basing is great. Like I said I understand there is a level of danger doing this so I hope none of them get hurt but I can’t help but root for these guys and hope I one day see them in a ring. Once again sorry for the long arse tweet and hope the message finds you well boss.

This footage is from a home security camera in Raleigh, North Carolina, shared by a veteran using only his first name, Steven. Steven served in the Marine Corps for eight years and came home with nightmares that woke him almost every night for six years afterward. Multiple treatment programs helped some never enough. Last year, Steven adopted a yellow Labrador named Carl from Wake County Animal Services. Carl had been returned three times, with the same note each time: "Wakes owners in the night for no reason." One family called him an "anxious dog" who "disrupts sleep." Steven brought Carl home on a Thursday. Carl woke him twice that first week. Steven was frustrated but patient. By week two, he noticed something - Carl wasn't waking him after nightmares started. He was waking him before they built. Steven set up a camera pointed at the bed. The footage showed him lying still, his fingers beginning small, almost invisible movements, his expression shifting subtly - and Carl's head lifting from the floor before jumping onto the bed and lying across Steven's chest. Steven's eyes opened calm. No nightmare. No thrashing. Just Carl's weight and the dark room. His therapist watched the footage twice: "Carl is detecting the very beginning of your stress response - before it escalates. He's interrupting the cycle at the earliest possible stage." The exact behavior that got Carl returned three times was the exact thing Steven needed most. "Every family sent him back because he wouldn't let them sleep through the night," Steven said. "He was trying to help the only way he knew how. They just didn't need what he was offering. I did." What looks like a flaw in a dog from one angle looks like a gift from another.

So, my opinion on what the Antarctic (Antarctica) Anomaly is that it's a type of frequency technology. It must be way more powerful than HAARP, as many have claimed it to be, because we would see these anomalies at other HAARP sites, and we don't, not like this. With that said, and I'm very much trying to avoid letting what I want it to be not play a part here, I think it is a technology that is being used either off the coast of Antarctica itself or Bouvet Island. A third possibility is an area just to the northwest of the island that looks odd. It's possible it is a sonar scan from a ship, but why in that remote location? It looks like an antenna set up or rows of something that is out of place. I also believe that the weather events and fires that have taken place in Africa could possibly have been because of this. Each time we saw the anomaly, it was followed by a destructive weather event in Africa. A weird connection to that is we have been told and warned of a very busy 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. This is in part because of the above-average Atlantic ocean temperatures, which is the fuel to Hurricanes. With all this info, it's possible to see how the Anomaly could be a frequency tech that can manipulate or create weather, And or WARM up the Ocean temps to purposely enhance the Hurricane season and Storm growth. Keep in mind that many of our hurricanes and many of the biggest hurricanes have come from the west coast of Africa and form over the Cape Verde islands before heading towards the Caribbean and the United States. This is all of course speculation, and I'm learning many new things every day, so this idea may morph over time as we learn more. In the end, it is very hard to ignore all these findings. #antarctica #anonaly #AntarcticaAnomaly #BouvetIsland

🚨 WARNING: MONDAY COULD BE THE WORST MOMENT OF 2026!! Make sure to take a look at this before June 8, that’s tomorrow. The $SPCX IPO is coming on June 12. And markets open this Monday, June 8. This is the first real trading week before one of the biggest IPO events in market history. SpaceX is expected to go public at around $1.75 TRILLION to $2 TRILLION valuation. That one number explains everything. Because money does NOT appear from nowhere. If funds want to buy $SPCX, they need cash. And where does that cash come from? They sell what they already own. Stocks will dump. Crypto will dump. High beta tech will dump even harder. This is NOT just an IPO. This is a liquidity drain. Everyone sees the Elon hype. Almost nobody sees the forced selling. There are only a few ways this goes from here, and they are NOT equal. - LIGHT SHOCK: funds sell small positions, stocks get hit first, crypto follows, then markets try to stabilize. - HEAVIER SCENARIO: funds raise cash before June 12, high beta tech dumps, Bitcoin loses support, and retail gets trapped. - WORST CASE: everyone rushes into $SPCX at the same time, liquidity disappears from crowded trades, stocks dump HARD, crypto gets hit first, and people get liquidated. That last one is the REAL danger. Because none of this is happening in a vacuum. Stocks are already crowded. Crypto is already weak. Liquidity is already getting worse. And now one of the most hyped IPOs in history is about to absorb even more money. Now connect the dots. If everyone wants $SPCX, they need dollars. To get dollars, they sell assets. And when everyone sells at the same time, markets do NOT dip slowly. They dump. This is NOT a theory. The $SPCX IPO is June 12. Markets open Monday, June 8. And this is when positioning starts. Markets are NOT pricing the liquidity drain now. But they will. I usually do the opposite of what the masses are doing. Reminder: I’ve called all the market tops and bottoms for the last 15 years, including the Bitcoin bottom at $16,000 and the top at $126,000. The next call will be even more important. When I exit the markets completely, I’ll post it here publicly like I always do. Turn notifications on. If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.

#HelloBlessedPeople 🙏🏾 30 years ago… I sat and watched team after team pass me by, most of them TWICE! In my mind, I should’ve already been gone before the 61st pick. The last pick in the first round, or as I thought about it, the first pick in the third round. But because I was not “ideal” and labeled a “tweener”, I sat excitedly, yet angrily, awaiting my name to be called. But as I grew in my walk with Christ, I began to understand that, for the believer, delay is often God’s setup. That frustration… that anger… I was blessed by the Lord to harness those emotions, to build something far greater than what I imagined possible… that chip on my shoulder became an asset to my new teammates, organization, home & fan base, not a liability!! I didn’t run from it. I USED IT. Used it in my preparation. Used it in my mindset. Used it to become who God was calling me to be. What felt like rejection… was really direction. What felt like a setback… was part of His plan. Don’t waste what you feel. Don’t fight it… FAITH it! Use it!! "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

#HelloBlessedPeople 🙏🏾 30 years ago… I sat and watched team after team pass me by, most of them TWICE! In my mind, I should’ve already been gone before the 61st pick. The last pick in the first round, or as I thought about it, the first pick in the third round. But because I was not “ideal” and labeled a “tweener”, I sat excitedly, yet angrily, awaiting my name to be called. But as I grew in my walk with Christ, I began to understand that, for the believer, delay is often God’s setup. That frustration… that anger… I was blessed by the Lord to harness those emotions, to build something far greater than what I imagined possible… that chip on my shoulder became an asset to my new teammates, organization, home & fan base, not a liability!! I didn’t run from it. I USED IT. Used it in my preparation. Used it in my mindset. Used it to become who God was calling me to be. What felt like rejection… was really direction. What felt like a setback… was part of His plan. Don’t waste what you feel. Don’t fight it… FAITH it! Use it!! "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

Georgia's national figure skating team has advanced to the final of the team event at the 25th Olympic Games in Milan. But who actually represents Georgia? - Mostly Russian athletes using Georgia's national team as a convenient way to avoid international sanctions. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) imposed sanctions on Russian athletes, which triggered a mass exodus from Russia. This year, at the Winter Olympic Games, athletes from Russia and its ally Belarus were allowed to participate only under a neutral status. However, the IOC rejected most of the athletes submitted by the Russian Figure Skating Federation in pairs and ice dance(with only two exceptions: Adelia Petrosyan and Pyotr Gumenik). It should be noted that most members of Georgia's national team train in Russia(with the exception of the ice dance pair). Let's get to know them better. 🔴 Eteri Tutberidze - an ethnic half-Georgian Russian figure skating coach, best known as the coach of Vladimir Putin's favored athlete Kamila Valieva(who was later disqualified after a banned substance was found in her doping test, resulting in her victory being revoked), also coaches Adelia Petrosyan. Tutberidze herself avoided IOC sanctions by citing illness and not attending the Olympic medal ceremony at the Kremlin. Before Russia's national team was sanctioned, she showed no interest in Georgia whatsoever, openly distanced herself from anything Georgian, does not speak the Georgian language and yet today she has become one of the key figures associated with Georgia's national team. 🔵 Diana Davis - Tutberidze's daughter, competed for Russia as recently as four years ago. Before the war began, she moved to the United States and this year in Milan she is the flag bearer for Georgia!🙂 Her ice dance partner is Gleb Smolkin. Russia granted both of them permission to change sporting citizenship and unexpectedly they became members of Georgia's team. According to ISU regulations, Russian skaters are required to live in their new country for at least one year to change sporting nationality. It is unclear to what extent this rule was actually followed. They currently train in Montreal. 🔵 Anastasia Gubanova - has competed for Georgia since 2021 with Russia's permission. She trains in Saint Petersburg and the Milan Olympics will be the final competition of her career. 🔵Nika Egadze - is a product of the Georgian skating school, but years ago he moved to Moscow to train under Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov. 🔵 Anastasia Metelkina - the partner of Luka Berulava, trains with him in Perm, Russia. After winning a European Championship title, Metelkina spoke in Russian, while Luka, unlike many others, openly identifies Georgian as his native language. 🙂And I still don't understand why the national team's uniform has been changed to blue, when Georgia has always competed in the colors of its national flag!🇬🇪

🚨 ALERT TEXAS – DEMAND ANSWERS LUBBOCK! Is it just me, or is this deeply disturbing? Syrian-American Mohamad Altabaa - former Texas Tech MSA president and the driving force behind the massive 'Unity Center' mosque built inside a former Lubbock elementary school - is seen in yet another video (April 2025) - this time riding on the back of a motorcycle in Syria, hanging off casually, seemingly enjoying the "freedom" of post-Assad Islamic Syria amid the chaos. This reportedly happened around the time the U.S. State Department had Syria at Level 4: Do Not Travel for ALL Americans - explicit warnings of terrorism, kidnapping, civil unrest, armed conflict, and "no part of Syria is considered safe." How does a third-year Texas Tech medical student with "global support" for his Texas project manage to zip around a war-torn no-go zone on a motorcycle like it's a vacation - while ordinary U.S. citizens are strongly advised to stay far away? What kind of powerful ties, networks, or protections make that possible? And where exactly is the money coming from to buy and flip a sprawling abandoned public school into a mega-mosque and community fortress in just 40 days? The same shadowy "global" sources that are flying in supporters and volunteers from across the world to make this happen in Lubbock? Who are they? Who is donating to make this happen? When will America finally wake up and stop allowing the ummah to quietly fund and accelerate the takeover of our neighborhoods, schools, and communities? Nothing screams "Texas values" like Syria motorcycle rides in forbidden war zones and mystery overseas "support" pouring in unchecked. And now local media has gone radio silent on the hard questions - instead celebrating and cheerleading this rapid transformation while brushing aside every red flag. No real scrutiny, no follow-ups, just endless feel-good fluff about "community" and "unity." Lubbock - your town is NOW ground zero. Demand real answers on funding, foreign connections, and the real agenda before it's too late.

"Elon Musk is not an engineer." John Carmack: Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at SpaceX and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so. Robert Zubrin: When I met Elon it was apparent to me that although he had a scientific mind and he understood scientific principles, he did not know anything about rockets. Nothing. That was in 2001, by 2007 he knew everything about rockets – he really knew everything, in detail. You have to put some serious study in to know as much about rockets as he knows now. This doesn't come just from hanging out with people. Eric Berger: Elon is the chief engineer in name and reality. Josh Boehm: Elon is both the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of SpaceX, so of course he does more than just some very technical work. He is integrally involved in the actual design and engineering of the rocket, and at least touches every other aspect of the business. Elon is an engineer at heart, and that’s where and how he works best. Garrett Reisman: He’s obviously skilled at all different functions, but certainly what really drives him and where his passion really is, is his role as Chief Engineer. That’s the part of the job that really plays to his strengths. Tom Mueller: Elon and the Propulsion department are leading development of the SpaceX engines, particularly Raptor. Kevin Watson: Elon is brilliant. He’s involved in just about everything. He understands everything. If he asks you a question, you learn very quickly not to go give him a gut reaction. He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy. He can get in discussions about flying a satellite and whether we can make the right orbit and deliver Dragon at the same time and solve all these equations in real time. It’s amazing to watch the amount of knowledge he has accumulated over the years.

Sent to us from an officer who told us this was filmed last Wednesday afternoon at Riverside Veterinary Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana. Made us stop in our tracks and left us in TEARS. Here it is, in it's entirety: "The officer is Sergeant Paul Greer. He's 41 years old. Fourteen-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The dog is Bruno. A ten-year-old German Shepherd who served eight years as Paul's K9 partner before a joint condition ended his working career two years ago. When Bruno retired from active duty, Paul adopted him immediately. Brought him home. Bruno spent his retirement on Paul's couch, on Paul's bed, in the passenger seat of Paul's personal truck. The transition from working partner to household companion was seamless. Bruno had always been Paul's dog. The badge and the vest were just part of the job. Over the past several months, Bruno's condition had declined steadily. The joint condition spread. He had difficulty getting up. Stopped eating regularly. Paul had been managing Bruno's comfort with guidance from Dr. Angela Reese at Riverside for months. Last Tuesday evening, Bruno stopped getting up entirely. Paul called Dr. Reese that night. Wednesday afternoon, Paul drove Bruno to Riverside. He carried Bruno in from the truck himself. Wouldn't let the techs take him. Paul's partner, Officer Dana Choi, came with him. She filmed quietly on her phone from the corner of the room. She told us afterward that she asked Paul's permission before she started recording. He nodded. Paul sat on the exam table with Bruno cradled across his lap and chest. Bruno's head rested against Paul's shoulder. His eyes were half-open. His breathing was slow and easy. Paul bowed his head and pressed his face into Bruno's fur. Bruno lay still for a long moment. Then slowly — carefully — he raised both front paws. One at a time. And wrapped them around Paul's shoulders. And held on. Paul made a sound that Dana said she will never forget. Dr. Reese, who was standing nearby preparing, went completely still. Her assistant took a step back. Nobody moved. Dana told us: 'Bruno could barely lift his head that morning. But he lifted his paws and he held Paul. In that moment, with everything he had left, he held him. I think he was saying thank you. I think he was saying goodbye on his own terms.' Paul stayed in that position for a long time. The room stayed quiet. Bruno passed away peacefully a short time later, held in Paul's arms. Paul sent a message to his precinct group chat that evening. It said: 'Bruno is at rest. He was the best partner I ever had. Eight years on the force and two years at home. He worked hard and he loved hard and he went out the same way. Holding on.' The precinct held a small informal memorial the following morning. Bruno's vest and badge number were framed and hung in the K9 unit hallway. Some partners carry you through the hardest years of your life. And in the end, if you're very lucky, they find just enough strength to hold you one last time." #lawenforcement #K9

Last week I posted a rant about Indian VCs. Specifically, a red-orange logo firm that passed on multiple research labs and then confidently told me the Chinese are winning in AI. I felt it, a lot of you felt it. So here's what I'm doing about it - I am getting into the system. Over the weekend I leased out a 3000+ sq ft space to convert into a deep AI research incubator in Indiranagar, Bangalore. If you're a pre-seed founder with a deep tech or AI research idea - and you've been burnt by VCs who want traction before they'll give you the time of day - this is for you. Here's what I'm putting on the table: - A place to work, think, and build without distraction - Introductions to investors who actually understand early stage - The best research minds in the same room as you - 3 months to prove your thesis (Important) - And to promising projects - a stipend; so survival isn't the thing eating your focus No pedigree filter. No "come back when you have PMF." No sitting across the table asking why you're doing too many things while doing nothing yourself. My Creds? - Raised $5M + from a16z and others for my first startup as a solo founder - before I turned 24 - Exited to build something meaningful in AI - now running Conscious Engines (Conscious Engines), focused on small models doing big things - Helped 10+ teams with fundraising and operational mettle in their 0 to 1 journey - I know what 'early' looks like, and I know what it needs. What do I get in return? (candid) - New Friends and mutual contacts - Peer group to review our own work at Conscious Engines - Maybe the ability to put some $ early in on promising projects - Provenance --- To beat the system, sometimes you have to become the system. This will probably be hard. It might not work. But I have more risk appetite than the red-orange logo VCs who inspired this - so that's something. Founders: Join the WhatsApp Community. VCs: DM me. I have privilege. I would like to share it.

After more than a decade in the public spotlight, and three assassination attempts on her husband in two years, Melania Trump has had enough. In a blistering post Monday on the social media platform X, the first lady nailed ABC “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel for his classless attacks on President Donald Trump and his family. And she demanded ABC do something about it. Melania referred to it only as a “monologue,” but her post was pretty clearly a response to a joke Kimmel made Thursday on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, in which he referred to the first lady as an “expectant widow” — two days before a murderous gunman attacked the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington while both Trumps were inside. And there was truth in every line of her post: “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and [deepen] the political sickness within America,” she wrote. “People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. “A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. “Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community?” Kimmel’s material is more about feeding the liberal superiority complex than it is about being funny. The fact that he still has a show at all is more a testament to the nauseatingly liberal bias of American media than any quality of the entertainment he provides. And if anything, “coward” is too kind a term for a man who casts potshots at the president while protected by his own celebrity, the kind of man who would lie to his benighted audience about matters like the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and then lie — tearfully — about his own lying. As to Melania’s demand that ABC do something about Kimmel? Smart money wouldn’t be betting on that happening anytime soon. As a symbol of the “resistance” to all things Trump, Kimmel enjoys a spiteful popularity that’s independent of any actual humor he’s still capable of. Long the No. 2 man in ratings for late-night shows, Kimmel is seen in the industry as poised to move into the No. 1 spot once the equally distasteful (and equally Trump-hating) Stephen Colbert leaves CBS at the end of May. ABC has already proven it has no problem allowing Kimmel to pollute American airwaves and politics in pursuit of profit — and Kimmel still makes a profit for the network, according to Fox Business senior correspondent and New York Post columnist Charles Gasparino. But for millions of Americans, sickened by the likes of Kimmel and Co., and their unrelenting attacks on a president supported by more than 77 million voters, the first lady’s post on Monday was a welcome turn. The American left will undoubtely ignore the post — or celebrate it in some sickening fashion. But the sane parts of the country will understand the point. Melania Trump has had enough. Conservative Americans have, too.

Melania referred to it only as a “monologue,” but her post was pretty clearly a response to a joke Kimmel made Thursday on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, in which he referred to the first lady as an “expectant widow” — two days before a murderous gunman attacked the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington while both Trumps were inside. And there was truth in every line of her post: “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and [deepen] the political sickness within America,” she wrote. “People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. “A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. “Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community?” Kimmel’s material is more about feeding the liberal superiority complex than it is about being funny. The fact that he still has a show at all is more a testament to the nauseatingly liberal bias of American media than any quality of the entertainment he provides. And if anything, “coward” is too kind a term for a man who casts potshots at the president while protected by his own celebrity, the kind of man who would lie to his benighted audience about matters like the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and then lie — tearfully — about his own lying. As to Melania’s demand that ABC do something about Kimmel? Smart money wouldn’t be betting on that happening anytime soon. As a symbol of the “resistance” to all things Trump, Kimmel enjoys a spiteful popularity that’s independent of any actual humor he’s still capable of. Long the No. 2 man in ratings for late-night shows, Kimmel is seen in the industry as poised to move into the No. 1 spot once the equally distasteful (and equally Trump-hating) Stephen Colbert leaves CBS at the end of May. ABC has already proven it has no problem allowing Kimmel to pollute American airwaves and politics in pursuit of profit — and Kimmel still makes a profit for the network, according to Fox Business senior correspondent and New York Post columnist Charles Gasparino. But for millions of Americans, sickened by the likes of Kimmel and Co., and their unrelenting attacks on a president supported by more than 77 million voters, the first lady’s post on Monday was a welcome turn. The American left will undoubtely ignore the post — or celebrate it in some sickening fashion. But the sane parts of the country will understand the point. Melania Trump has had enough. Conservative Americans have, too.

If you have a girlfriend who is into fashion, or had one years ago, she probably had a Vinted account. Vinted was back in the day the most unhinged female-gaze-focused site on earth. It was 99% women talking about fashion and other stuff. I think today it is a little more professional. The site is basically like eBay for clothes. It was created by a girl who was annoyed by creepy private messages on eBay and wanted a safe space for females. Anyhow, Vinted was the anti-X. On X, it’s an all-men audience having a completely comical understanding of the female gaze, and on Vinted, you basically had young women thinking men are way more emotional than we are. People who form their opinions on women based on Reddit posts, Pornhub, and incels on X are just ridiculous copers. You can always tell by them being completely one-sided and sexualizing everything. A guy on X would be like, “Haha, doesn’t she know that men don’t care about fingernails? She is so dumb.” Bro, women do their fingernails like you wrap your car. It’s not meant to impress the other gender. It’s also ridiculous when incels threaten women with, “He will pump and dump you.” They don’t care. To them, it’s just an adventure. Sex gets increasingly more important to you the harder it is for you to get. Also women understand intersex dynamics way better. They get feedback from an early age. They get complimented, approached, harried based on what they wear. Incel men get no feedback at all until they have their first gf. That’s why their styling is always way off when they try to impress women.

A very good morning. Welcome to The Council Benji This marks the third Skull in a little run. The first went to a fund I've never met. The second: through Eli Scheinman to a new collector/foundation who has been quietly entering the space in a very significant way across a number of collections whom I’ve never spoken to. Their new entrance enabled a wedding and start of a new married life for Conviction. In my very first conversation with him, we spoke about curses and commitments to the people we love. Since meeting got to talk through each step on that path, from letting go, what is imbued in the ring and ceremony of it all, a proposal, and on the way to the most important of the steps in pursuit of a blessed life. It is easy to get a little cynical on the over-leveraged exit stories that spring up from time to time, so it is a treat to watch one go towards a celebration that’s been building up in his life since the Skull was first acquired. And now: this. The third Skull and the first I can really write about as a shared story across both source and destination. An exit and an entrance. The exit: The Skulls of Luci were awarded as gifts 4 years ago. But before I'd minted Birth of Luci or painted the other 49, the first person in this space I showed the sketch of The Blueprint Skull to was actually Casey💎, when he was working at SuperRare . Casey was the very first person who onboarded me to NFTs, helping me navigate the early days of whatever it meant to even mint something. I explained the idea of gifting one to each person who bid in my first auctions. Though most of the Skulls went to the bidders, Casey's didn't. He didn't ask for one. I didn't tell him I'd give him one. But he helped me take my first steps here, and it's hard to imagine any of this making sense, or unfolding the way it has, without him. Since then, we've broken bread across continents, seen quite a lot of chortling margarita consumption, watched the rise and fall of a lot around us, weathered inter-Council dramas. He brought Laura El into The Monument Game, played as a Player, wore a Mask. Most of the vibe that started all of this, the wild west of it, feels faded in the broader space at times. But every Skull has a story and a person who helped us get here. Casey will always be the one who was there before any metric muddled the reason to care. The entrance: Last fall, Benji came over for a studio visit. We walked through Luci, the works, structure, and dream, as anyone who visits does. But we mostly talked about being a father and having a father. We discussed the very idea of "collection" stripped of accumulation, value, or signal, located more in the act or ceremony of it. What it was to grow up with a curious father who studied the edges of each thing he saw to know the next layer beneath why anyone might look or ignore it. That to pass this on is to pass on questioning, more than it is to pass on any kind of answer. The process of collecting can be perceived as an individual act of hoarding. For some it is maybe. But at its best, it's a way to bind through shared questioning, to bond in cooperation and competition with friends and family, it is the swapped story and meme of it all, and each object gathered along the way carries some shared memory that can, often does, and with intent: should; drift out of the object entirely. All in the psalm, always has been. The studio visit came and went. Soon after, a package arrived in the mail with two of the softest stuffed animals added to my daughter's own collection, now among her favorites. The Skull is a bonus to that, in the scheme of shared memory. For Rachel and I, while we are heads down making a body of work that unsettles us and excites us but demands unknown time to accomplish, it means a great deal to have this kind of support from long term people in the quiet process of making work we want to leave behind ourselves. Enormously grateful to Casey for the many years of support and friendship, to Benny for being a true patron, and to Benji for entering the arena for what I'm working on next. Welcome.
