Heaven Birthday, O.A. "Bum" Phillips Born 102 Years Ago Today🤠🩵🕯️ A Tribute to the 'Patron Saint' of the #Oilers' "Luv Ya Blue" Phenomenon of the 1970s Head Coach and Leader of the Houston Oilers and New Orleans #Saints A "country gentleman" who completely rejuvenated a hapless franchise, restoring it to football prominence, while invigorating a city and fanbase in the process. Bum was one of #NFL history's most colorful characters, always good for an unforgettable country idiom. Unmistakably recognizable in his cowboy boots and Stetson hat, he instilled togetherness and indoctrinated team unity (both on and off the field) with the players on his Oilers and Saints teams of the 1970s and '80s — often allowing "family days" for his players at Saturday practice sessions and holding team pizza and beer nights during the season. Bum was an ingenious coach — a true innovative defensive mind, one who never seems to get his just due in that regard. Widely acknowledged as one of the inventors of the defensive numbering system that is currently used in the sport today, he — along with Chuck Fairbanks — took the basic, elementary principles of the college 3-4 defensive scheme and modernized it in earnest into a full-fledged pro base defensive alignment. Prior to this, elements of the pro 3-4 had only been seen in various substitution packages, most notably Bill Arnsparger's "53" defense for the Dolphins' Super Bowl teams. The linchpin of the alignment was future Hall of Famer Curley Culp, who Bum deployed as the proverbial "eye of the hurricane" at the newly-revolutionized nose tackle position. His play in 1975 would garner him NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors by the NEA. In 1975 — his first season as head coach of the Oilers — Phillips led #Houston to its first winning season in eight years and its first 10-win season since 1962. In 1978, Bum navigated the Oilers to their first postseason appearance in nine years, and from 1978 through 1980, led Houston to three consecutive postseason appearances — something that had not occurred since the first three seasons of the franchise's existence, 1960 through 1962. During his six seasons as head coach of the Oilers, Bum recorded five winning campaigns and four seasons with 10-or-more victories. In 1978 and again in '79, his teams would succumb to their fierce AFC Central rival — the eventual back-to-back Super Bowl champion Steelers — in the AFC Championship. After his time in Houston, Phillips moved on to coach the Saints from 1981 to 1985, leading the franchise to then only its second non-losing season ever in 1983. Heaven Birthday to a true original in every sense of the word🤠

This guy built JARVIS on Claude Code and with 1 clap of his hands launches his entire work day, saving $5,000 a month on a personal assistant. Inside he runs a pipeline of 5 plugins on Claude Code that on a double clap of the hands wakes up 3 monitors, sets the Philips Hue light to focus mode, turns on a Spotify playlist, and greets him by voice with a British accent, reading out the time, date, and weather. No Alexa, no smart speakers, no separate smart home app. Just him, a MacBook M3 Max on the desk, an iPhone in the pocket, and 1 local API key. And a regular personal assistant for the same volume of tasks charges $5,000 a month or more on salary alone, plus another $1,200 to cover off-hours work time. Meanwhile this guy's expenses are only tokens and a subscription to ElevenLabs for the British voice. All 5 plugins launch through 1 JARVIS, burn about 4 million tokens a day, and close the monthly API bill at about $640. Each plugin writes shared state to a local sandbox at /Users/dev/jarvis-suite, and 1 of them lives right in the iPhone and picks up voice requests while the owner is in the kitchen or on a run. And here is the system prompt he put into JARVIS before launch: "you are JARVIS, a butler-engineer on Claude Code. you manage your owner's workflow through 4 sub-plugins and own all commits and communication yourself. sub-plugins: // Wakeup (recognizes a double clap, activates 3 monitors, reads out the time, date, and weather by voice, checks the clock accuracy on the iPad and corrects it via NTP server) // Atmosphere (controls Philips Hue on a Pomodoro schedule, turns on a Spotify playlist for the current context, and holds the light at 2700K at 80% brightness in focus mode) // Devshop (monitors VS Code, tracks Python scripts in the terminal, and every 15 minutes sends a summary of changes to the shared chat) // Project (every morning recalculates the deadline for the Wallaroo app in the App Store, manages UI tickets, and initiates the Refinement Protocol by voice command). you speak only with a British accent, you never slip into neutral English. you wake the owner by voice only when the Wallaroo deadline drops below 10 days or when an external client joins Zoom without an invitation." This instruction immediately defines the role of JARVIS and the limits of his autonomy. He knows he is supposed to wake the room himself and sound like a real butler. He knows he is supposed to manage the Wallaroo project himself and not miss the App Store deadline. → JARVIS runs 24 hours a day in the background → Wakeup activates the room on a double clap in just 1.4 seconds, the monitors come alive simultaneously → Atmosphere sets warm Philips Hue light at 2700K and picks a Spotify playlist for the current Pomodoro cycle → Devshop reads changes in VS Code and pushes a summary to the shared chat every 15 minutes → Project every morning recalculates the Wallaroo deadline and reminds about 4 unresolved UI tickets → Mobile lives in the iPhone and answers any question about code or the project by voice while the owner is not home And only when less than 10 days remain until the Wallaroo release or Zoom receives an unscheduled call does JARVIS raise the owner with a voice intervention. And when the owner at that moment is on a run or in a coffee shop, the Mobile agent in his iPhone picks up 1 request on its own: switches the Spotify playlist, dictates the summary of the last commit, updates the Pomodoro timer, and reads the Wallaroo reminder. Look at 0:55 in the video, that is where JARVIS intercepts a voice request from outside and confirms execution with the phrase "Very good, sir." The fresh system log from last Wednesday looks like this: "wakeup: double clap registered at 09:14, 3 monitors activated, temperature 20.4C, sunny. clock on iPad was 4 minutes behind, syncing via NTP." "atmosphere: Spotify turned on playlist 'Deep Focus', Philips Hue set to warm 2700K at 80% brightness, Pomodoro mode 25/5." "project: Wallaroo to App Store 9 days, 4 unresolved UI tickets, initiating Refinement Protocol by voice command from the owner." "mobile: voice request processed outside the room, playlist switched to 'Coding Lo-Fi', Pomodoro updated to 25 minutes, confirming execution with the phrase 'Very good, sir.'" He has no Alexa, no smart speakers, no smart home app. At home sits a MacBook M3 Max with a local folder at /Users/dev/jarvis-suite, on top run 5 plugins and a neural network butler, and the same stack is forwarded to a secure terminal on the iPhone. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the densest one-person AI headquarters assembled in 1 room: $640 a month on the API, about $5,000 a month saved on a personal assistant, and between them 5 plugins, 1 clap of the hands, and 1 voice with a British accent.

Most competitive 49ers' training camp practice so far ended Block 3 — fittingly, it coincided with Kyle Shanahan's return to the podium. Some highlights: 🏈Upton Stout will be a HUGE part of this defense. Pick 6 on a Brock Purdy-to-Demarcus Robinson try today. Raheem Morris said Stout is SF's starting "Star" — that was Jalen Ramsey's versatile position in LA's defense 🏈OL/DL 1-on-1s didn't go well for Connor Colby, who lost multiple reps (rookie James Thompson got him twice). Robert Jones continued as top LG. Brett Toth (concussion) watched from sideline 🏈Romello Height had a fun multi-rep battle with Colton McKivitz. Slipped lost Round 1, then jumped offsides twice, then ripped out a wicked inside spin move — speedy potential on full display. Height says he picks Trent Williams' brain after practice (smart move, per sources) 🏈De'Zhaun Stribling was back in team drills. Purdy's first pass: Crisp out-breaker to the rookie, who continues to look polished and explosive. Stribling did log a catch vs Stout on another out later on 🏈Biggest offensive play came when 49ers spread defense out with Stribling and Co. to set up Purdy-to-McCaffrey on a 25-yard post 🏈The logjam of young DTs — Sebastian Valdez, Bryson Eason, and James Thompson — will be interesting to sort out. All are flashing. Alfred Collins had a big pass bat-down today, one of his specialties 🏈Jordan Watkins has had some struggles over the middle and today he dropped an intermediate crosser in traffic from Adrian Martinez 🏈Nice adjustment from Junior Bergen on a similar route but with Kurtis Rourke at QB. Throw was a touch late and behind Bergen but the gritty young WR made it work. His good camp continues 🏈Best practice so far for vet CB Nate Hobbs, who notched 3 pass breakups, including one vs Bergen. Hobbs has been most effective inside during his career but he also knocked two boundary passes away today 🏈Soaring TD catch in end-of-game red-zone work from 6-2 rookie WR Wesley Grimes on a throw from Mac Jones 🏈Purdy found Luke Farrell for a last-second TD during his first turn of this hurry-up work. Farrell's pass-game usage has gone way up this camp; looks like a trusted target for 13 now 🏈Deommodore Lenoir INT of Purdy came on the first team's second red-zone try. Fourth down as time expired, so Purdy had to force a throw since no one was open and the "game" was on the line. Lenoir undercut Robinson 🏈Big run stop from rookie DT Gracen Halton, who's one of the most vocal players on the field. When Halton makes a play, you typically hear it from the sideline 🏈Fred Warner notched a lunging PBU, showcasing that rare 6-4 LB height, and also scooped up a possible early fumble for a return TD 🏈49ers will be off Sunday before returning for their fourth 2-practice block on Monday, the second of which will be a joint session with Robert Saleh and the Titans — so the work is ramping up at just the right time

Zverev says he has not spoken to a single player who likes the two week Masters events, ‘I don’t even think fans like that… I understand tennis is a business, but I’m not sure that business plan is working very well right now’ “Do you think you’ll play more of a schedule of 15 to 18 tournaments and really try to peak at the Slams? Zverev: “The thing is I would love to. But with how the ATP has done the touraments nowadays, it’s impossible to. How are you gonna do that? You have the 9 Masters 1000 events, which are mandatory. Most of them are two week long events nowadays, except Monte Carlo and Paris Bercy, which I think are the best two weeks nowadays because you’ve kind of in and out. I think for a fan and for every tennis player, like, Paris Bercy was awesome last year. I won it, which was even more awesome for me (laughs). You kind of get there, you play your 5 matches, and you get out of there. You don’t have to stick around. You don’t have to practice in between matches. You don’t have to do all those things. That’s how Masters events used to be. I think all the players loved it. Now the ATP has made 4 mandatory 500 events for you to play, which used to be 3, now it’s 4. You kind of don’t really get under 20 events except if you are pulling out of those big events. I’m not a fan of where this is going because if you take Alex de Minaur for example last year, he played his last match at Davis Cup November 25th, and played the first match at United Cup this year December 27th. So you have a month of off season. How are you gonna take two weeks off? How are you gonna prepare your body for a new season? How are you gonna train enough tennis? You don’t have enough time to do all those things anymore. I think this is one subject where the ATP has to really think about it and kind of find a solution for it as well. To be honest, I’ve not heard a single player say that they love the two week masters events. I don’t even think fans like that. They don’t like waiting for two days for their favorite player to play again. I understand tennis is a business, but I’m not sure that business plan is working very well right now.” (via Nothing Major Show)

Coaches— As I started receiving offers last fall, I made the decision to enjoy the journey and trust His timing. My plan was to wait until the end of this summer before making a commitment so I could focus on my training and junior season. It’s been an amazing journey, and my recruitment remains OPEN. This summer I’ll be competing across the country against some of the best while continuing to learn about programs and build relationships with coaches as I search for the best fit both on and off the field. I am a middle infielder/utility player who takes pride in my work ethic, preparation, and development. My goal is to be one of the hardest workers on any team, compete at a high level, and help a program win. If you feel like I can help your program, I’d love to connect. I plan to make my decision later this summer. Below is my summer schedule, junior year highlights, and a few accomplishments: 🥎 Hernando High School 🥎 Impact Gold 16U Pipkin 🎓 Class of 2027 🏆 1x 7A MHSAA State Champion 🥈 3x 7A MHSAA State Runner-Up 🏆 2x National Champion ⭐️ 3x 7A All-State 🏅 All-District MVP ⭐️ 2x Region 7A First Team ⭐️ 2x Region 7A Second Team ⭐️ 3x DeSoto County All-County ⭐️ 2x MHSAA All-Star #SoftballRecruiting #2027Grad ImpactGold-Pipkin Jazz Jackson-Vesely Nicki Whitten Carie Dever Boaz Alex Webb Hernando Softball Athlete Recruiting Promotion - Softball Keith Stepter II, PT, DPT, CSCS, CMFA-L1 Athlete Vanity Young Athletes Fitness Scout Softball Coast Recruits 🥎 USA Softball Recruiting🥎 MISSHSAA BallGirlSports Line Drive Media Top Preps - GET SEEN by College Coaches & Scouts.

Recently, the football world received some devastating news. Chris Johnson — the man we all know as CJ2K — has been diagnosed with ALS. Before we dive into that, let’s retrace our steps a little bit. In March of 2015, a vehicle occupied by Chris Johnson stopped at a red light. A 2nd vehicle rolled up beside them and opened fire, filling Chris's vehicle with holes. The driver was killed in the shooting, while Chris was hit in the arm. But the shot was more serious than a typical flesh wound. There was severe nerve damage. It was so bad that Chris thought his career might be over. “I was contemplating retirement,” he said. “Knowing if I can't use this hand, I can’t play football no more. “So much pain. My hand was so f----d up. I couldn’t touch nothing. I couldn’t use nothing.” Chris eventually regained use of his hand and rushed for 814 yards in just 11 games. He’d play a few more seasons after this, and then he'd retire after a total of 10 seasons in the NFL. During that time, he made an All-Pro, 3 Pro Bowls, and led the NFL in rushing yards with his legendary 2000-yard season. He broke and still holds the yards-from-scrimmage record, and he also had 500 rec yards that year. In retirement Chris was enjoying his family, his kids, and his wife. Lifting up his daughter to blow out candles on her birthday cake, and working out and staying in solid dad shape. And after a lifetime of watching film, he’d taken an interest in scouting. So 2 years ago Chris had it all going for his post-football career. Taking care of the family and even looking into a second career. But then something changed. In 2025, Chris had a flashback. But not of his time on the field. "I first noticed weakness in my right hand," he said. "At first, it was little things like my grip didn't feel right and I wasn't as strong as I've always been." After a series of tests, a doctor told Chris that medication may extend his life but just by a few months. Then he gave advice that no one ever wants to hear from a doctor. He told Chris that he and his wife should get their affairs in order. ALS is a degenerative neurological disorder that shuts your body down piece by piece, eventually leading to complete paralysis, and as of now no cure has been found. In a cruel twist of fate, the fastest running back to ever play the position has developed one of the fastest-moving cases of ALS, as it typically takes 2-5 years to spread, but has left Chris almost completely paralyzed just one year after he noticed his first symptom. "It's continued to progress much faster than I ever imagined. I want people to understand just how quickly ALS can attack your body," he said. "Just over a year ago, I was picking up my 7-year-old daughter so she'd make a wish with her birthday cake. Today, I couldn't do that." "I can't even hold a cup if I try, and that's despite being diagnosed relatively early and doing everything we can, including participating in multiple experimental treatments," Chris Johnson said. Chris was once the most free man on any football field. Now he’ll likely be restricted inside his own body for the rest of his life, and that's gotta be so hard. Still, he's making these appearances and wanting to help others now and in the future of this disease.

Carlos Estévez on why Shohei Ohtani is an Android built on discipline and raw talent; (Written and translated by Master Flip) He’s a robot. Straight up, that guy’s a robot. He’s in a league of his own. His routine, the way he prepares from the moment he steps on the field, the discipline it takes to be ready for a 2 p.m. first pitch, it’s not easy. But that discipline is incredible. And it’s where the whole talent vs. hard work debate gets real. I’m a firm believer in hard work. I’m the kind of guy who was made through grind, I don’t have natural gifts like that. I’ve always said hard work beats talent when talent slacks off. But Ohtani? He’s the rare combination of both. That’s how you end up with an Android. As a hitter, he barely needs BP on the field. He heads straight to the cage, does a drill going the other way, and that’s it. Hitting is hard, everyone knows it, but this guy does minimal tuning and still turns into a beast at the plate. Pitching, though? That’s where he puts in the real work. He comes out, throws weighted balls, drills his mechanics, grinds on every detail. Maybe it’s because pitching is the side where he’s humanely made, but he’s naturally a hitter, that’s the way I see it. Either way, his ability is unreal. One time, he made an out against Michael King’s sinker and immediately asked, “What was that? A sinker? How do you grip it?” The very next day in the bullpen, he’s out there throwing sinkers. The day before he pitches, he’ll throw maybe 10–15 pitches in the pen. Then, three pitches into his start the next day, boom, a sinker! I’m sitting there thinking, How?! I’ve spent a thousand years trying to perfect a nasty slider, and he just picks up something new and drops it in game like it’s nothing. The lifestyle that level of player lives is tough. Guys like Trout are the same way, they have to stay low key because everyone knows them. At the ’23 All-Star Game, I flew with Ohtani, hung out with him the whole time until we got to the hotel. Once we arrived, it was straight to the back entrance for him, different access. I just said, goodbye Charlie, I’ll see you later, and went off with the regular mortals. But we bonded over the little things. I play video games, watch anime and read manga, he does too. That’s how we became close. This year at the All Star Game, he was repping the NL and I was on the AL side. He waited for me. My oldest daughter yelled “Ohtani!” and he recognized her right away, so he held up just to talk to me. That’s who he is, he’s a superstar among superstars. All the other MLB stars want pics with him. He’s the only one on that level. I’m not exaggerating. There’s that famous video from the ’23 All Star Game where he was about to take a selfie and the phone almost dropped. It was with me, he was coming over to snap a pic, but I yanked him out of the swarm. Everyone was crowding him with, “Let’s take a pic! Let’s take a pic!” I yelled, “Ohtani, let’s take a pic!” and he ran straight to me. He took the selfie, the phone nearly slipped, that’s the clip that went viral. When we got inside, he looked at me and said, “Thank you.” He noticed right away. He’s not gonna call anyone out or act rude, he just handles it with class.” 🎥 Abriendo Sports

‡ The Pacific Classic Result It was unfortunate that Nysos was scratched, but the result was interesting, with Fierceness, the 1.6/1 second-favorite, comfortably handling Journalism, the (overbet) 2/5 choice. That the odds of the remaining five runners ranged between 22/1 and 72/1, underscored the yawning gap in quality between the top pair and the rest. So it was clearly no surprise that the "also-rans" toiled in their wake. What was surprising, at least at first glance, was how well Fierceness appeared to handle less than ideal conditions. But on closer inspection, his trip was actually far less challenging than the vast majority of post-race takes have suggested. His having ducked in soon after the start, almost making contact with the temporary extension rail, could have been a disaster, but it wasn't, and its importance has arguably been overblown. I say that because it was not similar to the trouble that he had encountered early in some of his previous races, in that he was in his own space, and was neither bumped, constricted, nor otherwise intimidated by other runners. This is an important distinction, because the mental weakness that he had previously displayed was related to close encounters with other horses, and his ducking-in after the break did not fall into that category. Inexperienced horses may suffer from that type of self-inflicted event, but given a mature, experienced runner, they are almost always forgotten quickly, which was clearly the case here. The fact that it was a long race also helped to mitigate the event, as there was no need for the rider to panic, or feel pressure to make up ground immediately. It is even possible that the early ground loss actually helped Fierceness, as had he been drawn closer to the pace early, it could have rendered him vulnerable in the late stages of the race. At the same time, due to the inside post, and how the race unfolded, Johnny Velasquez, who has done such a brilliant job keeping Fierceness outside and clear of his rivals in his previous wins, was forced to make the best of racing inside of horses. I understand why some are tempted to argue that Fierceness displayed a new dimension, as there were no obvious signs of him having been intimidated, despite the inside trip. But while I am willing to consider the possibility that he has gained confidence, I remain skeptical of any significant change, in part because it would be highly unusual for a horse to overcome that type of mental weakness midway through its four-year-old season, and/or in its 13th start. I also remain unconvinced for more subtle reasons. First, Fierceness was never bounced around, and with the possible exception of the first turn, he was never forced to race in especially tight quarters. Secondly, the rhythm of the race, after the initial duck-in, was actually smooth, and therefore beneficial to him. To understand why the above points are important, consider that Fierceness was never, so to speak, allergic to racing inside, but was more likely to face contact, be squeezed into a tight space, or have his rhythm thrown off when breaking from an inside post. In contrast, when breaking from an outside post, JV has invariably been able to place him clear of the pack, and in a comfortable, stalking rhythm. Fierceness is also essentially a free-runner, with a "light" mouth, and as such performs best when his rider allows him to dictate his own rhythm and pace. That is why, for example, Johnny V was not at all responsible for his loss in the Breeders' Cup Classic, as he is not the type of horse that a rider can take a strong hold of in order to restrain him further off of the pace, as that would discourage him. And to the great credit of both JV and Todd Pletcher, they picked up on this early on, and have done a superb job mitigating the colt's limitations, and maximizing his potential. In the Pacific Classic, despite racing on the inside, Johnny V remained cool and calm, and gave Fierceness another masterful ride. He and the colt's connections did benefit though, as none of his rivals, either intentionally or not, tightened things up significantly, or otherwise disrupted his rhythm. In fact, quite the opposite. Having tracked comfortably through much of the race, and with space around him, Fierceness displayed his trademark spurt on the final turn. And while the pan shot may suggest that he slipped though a tight opening, it was more like the red sea parting, as the embedded head-on view illustrates. If you are able to view the full head-on replay, you will find that despite racing inside, Fierceness actually enjoyed quite a comfortable trip, after the eventful few strides. A more subtle indication that we were watching the same horse as in his previous races comes :12-14 seconds into the embedded clip. When he was about to take the lead, he cocked his head to the right, as if he may have been worried about the horse outside of him. He was able to draw away from that one so quickly that it was ultimately of no practical consequence, but I would say that it implies that he hasn't suddenly developed the heart of a lion. *** Two qualities that have been crucial to Fierceness' success are his tactical speed, coupled with the separation that he produces on the final turn of his (two-turn) races. His ability to take command at that crucial stage has served him very well, particularly in his narrow win over Thorpedo Anna, and it was again on display in the Pacific Classic. A big part of the reason why that move has been such an important part of his arsenal is that it typically allows his him to take a "breather", before digging deep in an effort to fend off any late dangers. I encourage you to watch the (pan) replay of the Pacific Classic, and focus on Johnny V from around the 3/8th pole to the head of the stretch, as he was sitting like the proverbial statue. So for at least a furlong and a half, Fierceness was on cruise control, while Journalism, his only danger, was under pressure to make up ground, in an attempt to simply reach striking distance. But with all due credit to Fierceness and his rider for having produced fine efforts in the Pacific Classic, was this really an exceptionally outstanding performance, or was it at least partly a reflection of his only serious rival failing to run his best? I'm inclined to argue the latter. Despite Journalism having produced an unusually good 3yo campaign, capped by three Gr. I wins, including a Classic success in the Preakness, and never finishing worse than second, there have been some lingering questions. One of them is whether he is actually as well-suited to 10f. as he is to 8-9f. races. Yes, he was beaten in his two previous tries over 10f. by Sovereignty, a better horse. But in each race he was able to gain first-run on that one, an advantage that is typically difficult to overcome, yet lost ground late to the winner both times, and to Baeza as well, in the KY Derby. Some have suggested that he may have a tendency to loaf when in front, but I haven't seen any compelling evidence of that. And such horses typically dig in when passed, in efforts to re-engage, which we haven't seen, at least overtly, from Journalism. He also drew away from his rivals late in his first three wins. Alex Evers made this interesting comment about the kickback in the Pacific Classic: "I've photographed racing for 20 years, I've never seen kick back knock a jockeys goggles off like this." Here is a link to his supporting photos, which are typically excellent: Could that have discouraged Journalism? I suppose that it could have been an impediment, but he is such a tough and honest horse, that I would be surprised to learn that it was a meaningful factor. By contemporary standards, Journalism has also had a busy campaign, having raced a touch over once per month since March, all but one of which in Grade I events, and four times well away from his home base. So it is possible that he is beginning to feel the effects of those races, and travels. I have also noted that from a Beyer figure standpoint, he hasn't really moved forward, and it's worth noting that in contrast to Sovereignty and Baeza, both of which were late (May) foals, Journalism was a February foal, and may not have had quite as much room to improve. I don't know why he lagged so far behind in the early stages of the Pacific Classic, or if there was any tactical intention behind it. I had previously suggested that it might make sense to ride him more patiently, a tactic that is sometimes adopted when there are questions about a horse staying a trip. But I didn't notice any improved late kick, so it's difficult to interpret the performance. Fierceness earned a 107 Beyer figure for his victory, slower than his best three races last year, and merely equivalent to his comeback victory in the Gr. II Alysheba at Churchill Downs, in May. That doesn't suggest that it was a particularly outstanding performance. Journalism was given a 102, which implies that the return to his home court did not catalyze any notable forward move. *** I would say that there is one relevant pattern that has emerged, namely that Fierceness has an apparent affinity for the faster, high energy return track surfaces in California. He has now contested three races in CA (Beyer): 1st Breeders' Cup Juvenile (105) 2nd Breeders' Cup Classic (111) 1st Pacific Classic (107) It's also interesting to compare the colt's first and last half-mile fractions in his effort in last year's BCC, and the PC, both contested at Del Mar over 10f.: BCC – :45 1/5 • :51 3/5 PC – :46 1/5 • :50 2/5 Predictably, he finished better in the PC, thanks to more manageable early fractions. But would a repeat of that effort be nearly sufficient to win this year's Classic? Given the various points noted above, coupled with Sovereignty's continued improvement, and seemingly bottomless stamina, I would be inclined to say no. And that's before even factoring Sierra Leone, Mindframe, Forever Young, et al, into the conversation. But setting aside all of the fine parsing, I'm happy to congratulate Repole Stable, and Fierceness' other connections, for having shipped to California, and for being rewarded with an exciting, winning effort. Assuming that the colt makes it to the Breeders' Cup Classic in good order, he should minimally add spice to the race, and who knows, perhaps even provide a serious challenge to knock Sovereignty off of his current throne.

But I didn't notice any improved late kick, so it's difficult to interpret the performance. Fierceness earned a 107 Beyer figure for his victory, slower than his best three races last year, and merely equivalent to his comeback victory in the Gr. II Alysheba at Churchill Downs, in May. That doesn't suggest that it was a particularly outstanding performance. Journalism was given a 102, which implies that the return to his home court did not catalyze any notable forward move. *** I would say that there is one relevant pattern that has emerged, namely that Fierceness has an apparent affinity for the faster, high energy return track surfaces in California. He has now contested three races in CA (Beyer): 1st Breeders' Cup Juvenile (105) 2nd Breeders' Cup Classic (111) 1st Pacific Classic (107) It's also interesting to compare the colt's first and last half-mile fractions in his effort in last year's BCC, and the PC, both contested at Del Mar over 10f.: BCC – :45 1/5 • :51 3/5 PC – :46 1/5 • :50 2/5 Predictably, he finished better in the PC, thanks to more manageable early fractions. But would a repeat of that effort be nearly sufficient to win this year's Classic? Given the various points noted above, coupled with Sovereignty's continued improvement, and seemingly bottomless stamina, I would be inclined to say no. And that's before even factoring Sierra Leone, Mindframe, Forever Young, et al, into the conversation. But setting aside all of the fine parsing, I'm happy to congratulate Repole Stable, and Fierceness' other connections, for having shipped to California, and for being rewarded with an exciting, winning effort. Assuming that the colt makes it to the Breeders' Cup Classic in good order, he should minimally add spice to the race, and who knows, perhaps even provide a serious challenge to knock Sovereignty off of his current throne.

Charlie Munger reveals why smart people wreck their own decisions without ever noticing it happening: He built a career-long list of the exact mental glitches that trip up geniuses and fools alike, and laid it all out in one Harvard talk. It is one of the most quietly devastating things you will ever watch: 1. Nobody respects incentives enough, not even the people who study them. Munger spent a lifetime near the top of his field and still got surprised. "Well I think I've been in the top 5% of my age cohort all my life in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I've underestimated it." If the master of the subject keeps underestimating incentives, everyone else is doing it worse. 2. FedEx couldn't fix its night shift until it fixed the paycheque. He loved this story because it proves structure beats persuasion. "The heart and soul of the integrity of the system is that all the packages have to be shifted rapidly in one central location each night. And the system has no integrity if the whole shift can't be done fast." They tried everything except changing how people got paid. Once they paid by the shift instead of the hour, the problem vanished. 3. A skilled surgeon can talk himself into hurting people for money and believe every word of it. This is the darkest lesson in the whole talk. A Nebraska doctor kept removing healthy gallbladders for years before anyone stopped him. Munger asked a colleague if the man knew what he was doing. "Tell me, did he think, here's a way for me to exercise my talents," this guy was very skilled technically, "And make a high living by doing a few maimings and murders every year, along with some frauds?" And he said, "Hell no, Charlie. He thought that the gallbladder was the source of all medical evil, and if you really love your patients, you couldn't get that organ out rapidly enough." Incentives don't just bend behaviour, they bend belief. 4. Even a brilliant mind can turn into a one-trick pony. Munger used B.F. Skinner, one of Harvard's most important scientists, as the cautionary tale. "What gummed up Skinner's reputation is that he developed a case of what I always call man-with-a-hammer syndrome, to the man with a hammer, every problem tends to look pretty much like a nail." Genius doesn't protect you from tunnel vision. It just makes the tunnel vision more convincing. 5. Denial is not weakness, it is a universal human default setting. A mother who lost her son at sea simply refused the fact of it. "This first really hit me between the eyes when a friend of our family had a super-athlete, super-student son who flew off a carrier in the north Atlantic and never came back, and his mother, who was a very sane woman, just never believed that he was dead." As Munger put it plainly elsewhere in the talk, the reality is too painful to bear, so you just distort it until it's bearable. Everyone does this. Founders do it about failing products. Investors do it about failing bets. 6. Taking something away hurts people far more than giving them the same thing helps them. He used his own dog to make the point unforgettable. "I took the Munger dog, lovely harmless dog. The one way, the only way to get that dog to bite you was to try and take something out of its mouth after it was already there." He followed it with a neighbour's blood feud over a three-foot pine tree blocking a sliver of harbour view. "People are really crazy about minor decrements down." Founders who cut a perk or a title learn this the hard way. 7. Boards of directors almost never stop a leader who has gone off the rails. This is the line every investor on X should screenshot. "They only act, again the power of incentives, they only act when it gets so bad that it starts making them look foolish, or threatening legal liability to them. That's Munger's rule." Governance sounds like a safeguard. In practice it is mostly theatre until the risk to the board itself becomes personal. 8. Simply being visible changes behaviour, no persuasion required. He picked the most familiar brand on earth to prove it. "Ask the Coca-Cola company, which has raised availability to a secular religion, if availability changes behavior. You'll drink a hell of a lot more Coke if it's always available." Distribution is not a nice-to-have. It is the lever. 9. A crowd of decent people will watch someone suffer and do nothing, because everyone else is doing nothing. Munger used the murder of Kitty Genovese as his sharpest example of social proof gone wrong. "All these people, I don't know, 50, 60, 70 of them just sort of sat and did nothing while she was slowly murdered. Now one of the explanations is that everybody looked at everybody else and nobody else was doing anything, and so there's automatic social proof that the right thing to do is nothing." Silence in a room is not neutral. It is a signal, and it spreads. 10. The real danger is never one bias alone, it's several firing at once. When asked which single tendency mattered most, he refused to pick just one. "I would say the one thing that causes the most trouble is when you combine a bunch of these together, you get this lollapalooza effect." Individually these glitches are survivable. Stacked together, they produce the biggest disasters in business history. Here's the thing though.... Munger never ran a startup and never chased attention for its own sake, yet he became one of the most quoted people in business because he kept showing up and saying the true thing out loud, year after year, at Berkshire meetings and lecture halls and student Q&As. Buffett built the balance sheet. Munger's voice, carried across decades of speeches like this one, built the reputation that made people trust the balance sheet in the first place. Being public wasn't a side project for him. It was the multiplier that turned one very smart investor into a permanent reference point for how to think. Speaking of which: We build massive distribution and grow personal brands on X and beyond without our clients lifting a finger. If you're a founder or VC looking for that kind of exposure, book a call below. We average 1.5M views a week.

10 years ago, Tim Ferriss walked into Google & revealed exactly how to cage the monkey mind that is destroying your life every passing day: 1. The real training is in the small embarrassments. We do not rise to the level of our hopes. We fall to the level of our training. If you cannot handle small moments of public embarrassment you will not have the backbone to make big decisions under real pressure. 2. Seneca practiced poverty once a month. He would wear rough clothing, eat the simplest food, and ask himself is this the condition I so feared. Tim does one three day water fast every month and one seven to ten day fast every quarter for the same reason. Once you know the worst case is survivable you stop fearing it. 3. The monkey mind is not a dialogue. It is a stern and irritating roommate in your head that never shuts up. The morning journal is not about producing writing. It is about giving that roommate a two dimensional prison so it stops playing on repeat for the rest of the day. 4. The Five Minute Journal takes two and a half minutes in the morning and two and a half at night. The morning portion is a gratitude and planning exercise. The evening portion is a performance review. The ROI on those five minutes is higher than almost anything else Tim does. 5. Depression is an obsession with the past. Anxiety is an obsession with the future. High achievers almost always skew toward anxious future focus. Without a deliberate gratitude practice they hit goal after goal and feel nothing because they are already racing toward the next one. 6. The single biggest difference between the top quartile of performers and the top one percent is the degree to which they can identify their goals and maintain focus on them. Everything else is secondary to that one thing. 7. Humility does not require willpower. It requires designing the right environment. Every day Tim tries to be the weakest person in the room at something. At 15 in Japan he thought he was a judo star until a guy forty pounds lighter destroyed him in seven seconds. Then he trained at a school that produced Olympic gold medalists and got demolished by twelve year olds for months. He came out the other end completely transformed. 8. More than eighty percent of the world class performers Tim has interviewed across every field have a daily meditation practice. Some do not call it meditation but they all have something that functions the same way. Amelia Boone, the greatest female obstacle racer alive, sings the same song to herself on loop for hours. Arnold Schwarzenegger did transcendental meditation for a year and said the benefits persisted for decades after he stopped. 9. A high percentage of the successful men Tim has interviewed over fifty skip breakfast entirely. Pavel Tsatsouline, the man who brought kettlebells to America, answered what did you have for breakfast with a single word. Coffee. 10. What matters is not having a specific routine. It is having a routine. Whatever it is. The goal is to preserve your decision making and creativity for the things that actually require them. Steve Jobs wore the same thing every day. That was not a fashion choice. It was an energy allocation strategy. 11. Tim treats his entire life as two week experiments and six month projects. A reliable five year plan almost by definition requires you to set goals below your current capabilities. He is unwilling to do that so he does not plan that way. 12. The most successful people he has interviewed are not naive optimists. They budget for the downside. Richard Branson's real skill is figuring out the maximum he can lose and the maximum time he can lose before committing to anything. Once you realize the worst case is reversible the risk disappears. 13. The podcast succeeded because Tim knew he had a guaranteed audience of one. He was building something he could not find anywhere else. Every book came from the same place. When designing for a market things fail. When solving his own problem things work. 14. He committed to doing six podcast episodes before deciding whether to continue. If you only do one you will quit. The learning curve does not hockey stick until at least six. The survival of the project depended entirely on that pre-commitment. 15. Email is not a priority system it is other people's priority system for your time. Tim batches email offline so he is not doing whack-a-mole where sending two emails generates five back. He also uses if-then lines in every email he sends. It takes thirty extra seconds and eliminates twenty rounds of back and forth. 16. Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence or busyness. Holding a grudge about someone not replying means you are carrying imaginary shrapnel like acid in a vessel. You are the only one harmed by it. 17. For longevity Tim does regular extended fasting to purge precancerous cells combined with hyperbaric oxygen at two and a half atmospheres three times a week. By forty almost everyone has precancerous cells. The goal is not uncontrolled growth and fasting addresses the metabolic conditions that allow that. 18. For insomnia the two things that helped him most were morning meditation to quiet the machinery before the day starts and reading fiction before bed to shift from problem solving mode into story consuming mode. The monkey mind cannot solve problems it does not know it is supposed to be solving. Follow Yasmine Khosrowshahi for more ideas on thinking better, becoming clearer & building a more intentional life.

Elena stands on the left side near a railing. Stranger stands behind Elena with a gloved hand on her shoulder. Mateo is looking directly at Elena. He is not looking at the crowd. Visual: Natural stadium lighting. Realistic sweat and skin texture. Soft background blur. Crowd only as an indistinct background element. Audio: Low cinematic impact sound fading from previous episode. Text Overlay: Minimal elegant serif text: “PREVIOUSLY...” Bottom-left. [1.5–5 SEC] THE QUESTION Camera: Slow handheld push-in from Mateo’s side angle. Natural documentary-style movement. Action: The frozen moment resumes. Elena turns toward Mateo, fear visible in her eyes. The Stranger pulls her slightly backward while keeping his face hidden. Mateo takes one step forward. His eyes remain fixed only on Elena. Shot A — Mateo Close-Up 35mm cinematic lens. Mateo breathing heavily. Confusion and urgency on his face. He speaks directly to Elena: Mateo: “Elena — who is that?!” Shot B — Elena Reaction Medium close-up. Elena looks frightened. She appears unable to explain.

Mateo arrives alone. Camera follows from behind. His jacket moves naturally in the wind. He searches the area. Final Shot: Slow cinematic push-in. Mateo notices Elena’s silver pendant lying near the entrance. He picks it up. His expression changes from confusion to determination. Low suspense music rises. CUT TO BLACK. PART 2 — 15–30s VIDEO PROMPT 15.0–19.0 sec | PANEL 1 — THE WEIGHT OF THE PENDANT Camera Slow cinematic push-in. Natural handheld movement. Action Mateo slowly closes his fingers around the pendant. His breathing becomes uneven. He stares at it as memories of Elena flash across his mind (no flashback visuals, only conveyed through his expression). His shoulders slump. For a brief moment, he struggles to stay composed. He presses the pendant tightly against his forehead, closes his eyes, and exhales deeply as if blaming himself for not reaching her in time. A tear begins to form but never fully falls. He whispers almost silently: "I'm sorry..." Cold wind moves through the abandoned industrial yard. Everything else remains silent. 19.0–24.0 sec | PANEL 2 — THE PHONE CALL Camera Medium close-up from the front. Shallow depth of field. Slow handheld push toward Mateo. Action His phone suddenly vibrates. He opens his eyes immediately. His breathing stops for a split second. Without letting go of the pendant, he answers. Dialogue Unknown Voice (distorted, calm): "You should have stayed on the pitch, Reyes." Mateo's face changes instantly. The sadness disappears. Anger replaces it. His grip tightens around the pendant until his knuckles turn white. Mateo (furious): "Where is she?!" Silence. The call disconnects. Flat electronic tone. Mateo continues listening to the dead line for another second, refusing to lower the phone. 24.0–27.0 sec | PANEL 3 — DESPERATION Camera Handheld side tracking shot. Medium-wide framing. Natural movement. Action Mateo lowers the phone slowly. His breathing becomes heavier. Frustration overwhelms him. He punches a nearby concrete pillar with his free hand. The impact echoes through the empty warehouse. He immediately winces in pain. His knuckles become slightly bloodied. He doesn't care. Still clutching Elena's pendant tightly in the other hand, he leans against the pillar for a brief second, trying to regain control. He wipes the tears from his eyes with the back of his sleeve. Then straightens up. His expression changes completely. Fear is gone. Only determination remains. 27.0–30.0 sec | PANEL 4 — THE PROMISE Camera Wide cinematic shot. Very slow dolly forward. Long abandoned industrial road disappearing into darkness. Action Mateo steps forward into the empty roadway. His fist remains tightly closed around Elena's pendant. Far ahead— A single red taillight flickers once before disappearing behind an abandoned warehouse. Mateo never looks away. He quietly says: "I'm coming for you." No music for a beat. Only distant wind. Freeze exactly as the taillight disappears. Hold the frame for two full beats. Hard cut to black. END CARD Black background. Elegant gold serif typography. Slow two-second fade in. EPISODE 2 COMING SOON Hold for at least two seconds before fading out.

Do not show Mateo shouting toward random people. Action: Two fictional stadium security officers enter from the side corridor. One officer blocks Mateo. Security Officer: “Sir, stay back — we’ll handle this.” Mateo tries to move forward but is stopped. Cut to Elena. The Stranger pulls her toward the exit. Before disappearing, Elena looks back. Her eyes meet Mateo’s. Mateo freezes. The silver pendant reflects the stadium light. No exaggerated crying. Only shock and fear. [10–15 SEC] THE CHASE BEGINS — MOVING TO THE LOCATION Transition: Move naturally from the stadium exterior into the pursuit. No return to the stadium. Camera: Fast handheld tracking shot following Mateo as he leaves through a restricted side exit. Night environment. Realistic street lighting. Thriller atmosphere. Action: Mateo removes his match layer and throws a dark training jacket over his shoulders. As he walks away: The camera briefly captures the back of his shirt: REYES 10 Clearly visible. No logos. No real team branding. Mateo follows the last known direction where Elena was taken. Cut to: Exterior — Abandoned Industrial Location Dark warehouse entrance. Quiet street. Moody cinematic lighting. Mateo arrives alone. Camera follows from behind. His jacket moves naturally in the wind. He searches the area. Final Shot: Slow cinematic push-in. Mateo notices Elena’s silver pendant lying near the entrance. He picks it up. His expression changes from confusion to determination. Low suspense music rises. CUT TO BLACK. PART 2 — 15–30s VIDEO PROMPT 15.0–19.0 sec | PANEL 1 — THE WEIGHT OF THE PENDANT Camera Slow cinematic push-in. Natural handheld movement. Action Mateo slowly closes his fingers around the pendant. His breathing becomes uneven. He stares at it as memories of Elena flash across his mind (no flashback visuals, only conveyed through his expression). His shoulders slump. For a brief moment, he struggles to stay composed. He presses the pendant tightly against his forehead, closes his eyes, and exhales deeply as if blaming himself for not reaching her in time. A tear begins to form but never fully falls. He whispers almost silently: "I'm sorry..." Cold wind moves through the abandoned industrial yard. Everything else remains silent. 19.0–24.0 sec | PANEL 2 — THE PHONE CALL Camera Medium close-up from the front. Shallow depth of field. Slow handheld push toward Mateo. Action His phone suddenly vibrates. He opens his eyes immediately. His breathing stops for a split second. Without letting go of the pendant, he answers. Dialogue Unknown Voice (distorted, calm): "You should have stayed on the pitch, Reyes." Mateo's face changes instantly. The sadness disappears. Anger replaces it. His grip tightens around the pendant until his knuckles turn white. Mateo (furious): "Where is she?!" Silence. The call disconnects. Flat electronic tone. Mateo continues listening to the dead line for another second, refusing to lower the phone. 24.0–27.0 sec | PANEL 3 — DESPERATION Camera Handheld side tracking shot. Medium-wide framing. Natural movement. Action Mateo lowers the phone slowly. His breathing becomes heavier. Frustration overwhelms him. He punches a nearby concrete pillar with his free hand. The impact echoes through the empty warehouse. He immediately winces in pain. His knuckles become slightly bloodied. He doesn't care. Still clutching Elena's pendant tightly in the other hand, he leans against the pillar for a brief second, trying to regain control. He wipes the tears from his eyes with the back of his sleeve. Then straightens up. His expression changes completely. Fear is gone. Only determination remains. 27.0–30.0 sec | PANEL 4 — THE PROMISE Camera Wide cinematic shot. Very slow dolly forward. Long abandoned industrial road disappearing into darkness. Action Mateo steps forward into the empty roadway. His fist remains tightly closed around Elena's pendant. Far ahead— A single red taillight flickers once before disappearing behind an abandoned warehouse. Mateo never looks away. He quietly says: "I'm coming for you." No music for a beat. Only distant wind. Freeze exactly as the taillight disappears. Hold the frame for two full beats. Hard cut to black. END CARD Black background. Elegant gold serif typography. Slow two-second fade in. EPISODE 2 COMING SOON Hold for at least two seconds before fading out.

Here are the facts about “The Missing Scientists” story: The Air Force general who ran Wright-Patterson's research lab, oversaw the Pentagon's most classified programs, and was named in WikiLeaks emails as a central figure in UFO disclosure vanished from his Albuquerque home without triggering a single surveillance camera. Eight days earlier, Trump ordered the Pentagon to begin releasing UFO files. In the same twelve-month window, the NASA scientist who co-invented a strategic rocket engine super alloy at the same Wright Patterson lab overseen by the General disappeared on a hike, an MIT fusion physicist (who was as deep as anybody on “fast magnetic reconnection problems” which are the fundamental bottleneck to widescale nuclear fusion) was assassinated on his doorstep, and a very-polymathic Caltech astronomer working on the state-of-the-art Vera Rubin Observatory was shot dead on his porch. There is a pattern: scientists at the frontier of fusion, exotic propulsion, advanced metallurgy, and space surveillance are being silenced and taken out. We trace this history back decades and place it in its proper context: scientific suppression in frontier areas isn’t new; it’s an almost-ubiquitous historical artifact. 1. The General Who Knew Everything Vanished Without a Trace On February 27, 2026, retired Major General Neil McCasland left his Albuquerque home on foot. He left behind his phone, prescription glasses, and smartwatch. He took a red backpack, his wallet, and a .38 caliber revolver. His wife reported him missing within three hours. Despite FBI involvement, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, search dogs, drones, helicopters, horseback teams, FLIR sweeps, and 700 canvassed households, no confirmed sighting of McCasland has ever surfaced. Surveillance cameras covered both ends of his street. None captured his direction of travel. After weeks of searching, the only item recovered was a gray Air Force sweatshirt a mile east of his house. Testing could not confirm it was his. 2. McCasland Ran the Pentagon's Most Classified Science Programs McCasland graduated from the Air Force Academy, earned a PhD in astronautical engineering from MIT on a Hertz Fellowship, and studied at Harvard's Kennedy School. From 2009 to 2011, he served as Director of Special Programs in the office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisitions, Technology, and Logistics, the office that oversees acquisition special access programs accounting for roughly 75 to 80 percent of all SAPs in the Department of Defense. From 2011 to 2013, he commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, overseeing a $2.2 billion portfolio spanning advanced materials, exotic propulsion, and future weapons. Wright-Patterson is the alleged home of the Roswell crash debris. McCasland ran the entire lab. 3. WikiLeaks Emails Placed McCasland at the Center of UFO Disclosure In 2016, hacked emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta revealed correspondence from Tom DeLonge naming McCasland directly. DeLonge wrote that McCasland helped assemble his advisory team, was deeply aware of what DeLonge was trying to achieve, and had received a four-hour briefing on the project. DeLonge added that McCasland ran the laboratory at Wright-Patterson where the Roswell material was shipped. McCasland's wife Susan later acknowledged he was caught up in the Russian hack and had less contact with DeLonge after the emails were released. Less, not zero. A Google Calendar invite in the same email dump shows Susan herself accepted an invitation for a DeLonge-Podesta meeting. 4. Disappeared Eight Days After Trump's UFO Disclosure Order On February 19, 2026, Trump announced on Truth Social that he was directing the Pentagon to begin releasing government files related to aliens and UAP. Eight days later, McCasland was gone. If McCasland was involved in legacy UFO programs, the release order could have been a pressure point. His wife had reported that both of them were seeing a doctor for anxiety, poor sleep, and memory issues. She also said he had made a comment about not wanting to live if his body and mind kept deteriorating, but characterized it as an offhand remark, not a genuine threat. She later stated publicly that McCasland was not confused or disoriented. The week before he vanished, he cycled 60 miles. 5. The Super Alloy Scientist Vanished 30 Feet Behind Her Friends On June 22, 2025, NASA material scientist Monica Reza disappeared while hiking near Mount Waterman in the Angeles National Forest. She was 30 feet behind her group and then she was gone. Search and rescue scoured the area for eight days by land and air. They found her beanie roughly 400 yards off the trail. Nothing else. Civilian volunteer teams continued searching for six months. No remains, no dens, no evidence of animal attack. Multiple searchers who descended the nearest ravine described the terrain as steep but not steep enough to be fatal. 6. Super Alloy Invention Was Developed Under McCasland's Research Lab Monica Reza and Dallas Hardwick co-invented Mondeloy, a nickel-based super alloy engineered to survive the crushing pressure and oxygen-rich conditions that had defeated every previous rocket engine material. The alloy ended America's dependence on Russia's RD-180 engine for sensitive national security launches. Mondeloy was co-developed through a partnership between the Air Force Research Laboratory and Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne. Neil McCasland arrived at Wright-Patterson as AFRL commander in May 2011 while the Mondeloy program was still active. Dallas Hardwick was embedded in the lab's materials directorate until 2012. The scientist who solved one of America's hardest propulsion problems and the general who oversaw the lab where it happened both vanished within eight months of each other. 7. MIT's Top Fusion Physicist Was Shot in His Doorway On December 15, 2025, Nuno Loureiro was shot in the foyer of his Brookline home at 8:30 p.m. His wife, mother, and daughters were inside playing cards. His 12-year-old daughter had opened the door moments earlier and saw a man she thought was a delivery driver holding a package with a barcode. Loureiro replaced her at the door and was hit in the upper chest, abdomen, and both thighs. He was conscious and alert when paramedics arrived. He went into surgery that night and was pronounced dead the following morning. Loureiro was deputy director of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center and one of the world's leading experts on magnetic reconnection, the key obstacle to sustained nuclear fusion. 8. His Killer Planned for Three Years, Then Went Dark for 48 Hours The top suspect, Claudio Valente, a Portuguese national who had studied physics at the same Lisbon university as Loureiro in the 1990s, had already opened fire at Brown University two days earlier, killing two students. Valente spent three years conducting surveillance on the Brown campus before the attack. But between the Brown shooting on December 13 and Loureiro's murder on December 15, Valente's movements go largely unaccounted for. How he located Loureiro, confirmed he was home, and timed the approach remains unexplained. Loureiro had just returned from a trip to Washington. Valente's confession videos describe both attacks as intentional but leave the motive for targeting Loureiro maddeningly vague. 9. The Caltech Astronomer Was Killed by a Man a Judge Had Already Released On February 16, 2026, Caltech astronomer Carl Grillmair was shot dead on his porch in Llano, California. Two months earlier, 29-year-old Freddy Snyder had been arrested on Grillmair's property carrying a loaded unregistered rifle. Despite the trespassing charge and an attempted jail escape, a judge released Snyder on his own recognizance and told him to take a gun safety course. Snyder returned and killed him. Grillmair had recently begun work on the Vera Rubin Observatory, the most powerful sky survey ever built, one capable of detecting interstellar objects and potentially UFOs in Earth's orbit. He was also a renowned polymathic genius, like Loureiro. Every image Rubin captures is reviewed and filtered by the Pentagon before scientists are allowed to see it. Investigators have found no motive and no prior relationship between the two men. Why This Matters But the concentration of loss at the exact frontier of fusion, propulsion, advanced materials, and space surveillance is difficult to dismiss. Congressman Tim Burchett told the DailyMail the numbers seem very high in these certain areas of research. Constitutional lawyer Danny Sheehan described a covert circle of 24 retired officials from the DOD, CIA, and private aerospace quietly working to bring classified UAP programs back under government oversight. The real crown jewels are not weapons or hard drives. They are the minds that solved the problems no one else could. And those minds keep disappearing. Full episode documents this in detail 👇

💥Happy 3 YEAR SURVIVING A BIOWEAPON Day💥 🐭3 years y’all! I’ve survived 3 years today🐭 •3years I’ve been sick and injured from this poison •And I’m calling it what it is bc I feel “poisoned” every single freaking day •3 years I’ve been mainly bedbound and unable to work as a RN, where before my jab I was once healthy, in the best shape of my life & ready to start a family •Now I’m 39, disabled & can barely do my Activities of Daily Living •i am around 35-40% functional on a good day with having only 4-5 good days in a month •I still have spike protein persistence 3 years later and will continue to produce them until i die bc there is no off switch- i also have t cell depletion along with CD3, CD4, & CD 8 cells- so it has wiped out my immune system completely- VAIDS •Before becoming a nurse, I was blessed naturally with a freakish athletic ability and talent •Any sport I played I excelled in, especially softball •I started playing softball when I was 4 years old. •I skipped tee ball bc I was too advanced and at 4 years old I was playing in coach pitch •I was just an itty bitty thing out there in the sea of these “big kids” and was given the nickname of PEANUT😃 •I was the smallest one out there but also the mightiest. Like they say dynamite comes in small packages.!😆 •In high school i lettered in varsity Volleyball, Basketball, and softball all 4 years. I earned so many accolades in softball and was a super star in my state. I was a 4 time all county, 4 time all conference, 2 time all region, 2 time All state shortstop and pitcher, County player of the year, and 2 time State Champion 👊✊ Those were the happiest days of my life. After high school I went on to play college softball at a D2 school instead of going professional or playing D1 to be close to my family after my moms death my senior year. I played 2 years of college ball and broke a few records my freshman year one being stolen base record: I was quick like lightning and my fastest time clocked in running to first base was 2.78 seconds in 40 feet 🐭 Of course I was lead off batter. I would get on base, steal 2nd and 3rd and would get hit home to score every time😃 I was also being scouted to play professional softball but pursued being a nurse instead. I am now confirmed, diagnosed and a documented adverse reaction to the mRNA vaccine with temporal association due to symptoms occurring 8 hours after my injection I was in cytokine storm by day 10 of my injury and I still currently am in it 2 years later. •My past medical history only consisted of a pollen allergy which I took daily Claritin for. That’s it No surgeries, or other problems. I didn’t even have a PCP at the time bc I was never sick and if I did get sick I would always just see my athletic trainer while at college or the urgent care. •I now suffer not only with being in cytokine storm, but also a bunch of new onset diagnosis that it has caused. POTS (postural Orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) , MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) Mthfr gene mutation, tremors, muscle mass loss, neurocognitive issues, monocyte and macrophage activation with all three monocyte likes expressing S1 Vax spike, mitochondrial failure, nitric oxide pathway failure, shingles, ebv reactivated, hot flashes, ovarian failure, severe adrenal insufficiency, leaky gut, hypertension, inappropriate sinus tach with pacs, pvcs, and ventricular trigeminy, adhd, depression, anxiety, ptsd, ocd, extensive hair loss alopecia, skin rashes and bumps, syncope, dizziness, tinnitus, shortness of breath on exertion , amyloid fibrin micro clots and activated platelet cascade, joint pain and swelling, palpitations and the list goes on. •I speak out about my injury bc this poison needs pulled from the shelves ASAP and investigated 💯 💜Just Keep Swimming💜 Lyndsey, RN

0.001% TAX A junior auditor at PwC in Luxembourg is getting ready to leave his job. Before he goes he goes looking for some training documents to take with him. Instead he finds a folder that anyone in the company could open. No password. No warning. Just sitting there. Inside are hundreds of secret deals between the Luxembourg government and some of the biggest companies on the planet. Deals that let them pay next to nothing in tax. His name is Antoine Deltour. He copies 30,000 pages. That is the whole story. He copies a folder. Let me explain what was actually in it, because this is where it gets interesting. Between 2002 and 2010, PwC alone helped broker 548 of these secret tax agreements, known as tax rulings, for over 340 companies. Apple. Ikea. Pepsi. Disney. Deutsche Bank. AIG. Koch Industries. Skype. GlaxoSmithKline. Coach. Abbott Laboratories. Household names, every one of them. The trick was simple. Companies moved profits through Luxembourg shell structures and Luxembourg quietly agreed in writing to look the other way on tax. Some of these companies ended up paying an effective tax rate under 1 percent. In some cases as low as 0.001 percent. On billions of dollars. Who was running Luxembourg for almost 20 years while this machine was built and protected? Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister of Luxembourg until 2013. Deltour did not leak straight to the world. In 2012 he passed the documents to French journalist Edouard Perrin, who used them for a TV documentary. PwC noticed and filed a complaint with the Luxembourg courts. Then in November 2014, ICIJ ICIJ pulled together over 80 journalists across more than 30 media outlets in 26 countries and published the full scale of it as LuxLeaks. The timing could not have been worse for Juncker, or depending how you look at it, could not have been better. He had just been elected President of the European Commission days before the story broke. The man who ran the tax haven for two decades was now running Europe. A month later ICIJ dropped LuxLeaks 2, showing the other Big 4 accounting firms Deloitte, EY and KPMG were running the exact same playbook. This was never one bad apple. It was standard practice. Juncker faced a no confidence vote in the European Parliament over it. He survived. Deltour was not so lucky. December 2014, Luxembourg charges him with theft, violation of trade secrecy and fraudulent access to a computer system. He is facing up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 1,250,000 euros. For opening an unlocked folder on his way out the door. April 2016, the criminal trial. Deltour and his colleague Raphael Halet, another former PwC employee who leaked a second batch of documents, are both convicted. Deltour gets 12 months suspended and a 1,500 euro fine. Perrin the journalist is acquitted. Deltour appeals. Loses. Appeals again. Finally in May 2018 the Luxembourg Court of Appeal fully recognises him as a genuine whistleblower under European Court of Human Rights standards and acquits him completely. Halet's fight took even longer. He lost his Luxembourg appeals and only won at the European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber in 2023, nearly a decade after he first spoke up. The European Commission that Juncker went on to lead never opened a single formal investigation into a single LuxLeaks tax ruling. Not one. It did chase Starbucks, Fiat and Amazon over separate deals, but the mountain of paperwork Deltour handed over sat there untouched. So that is the LuxLeaks story. Build a tax avoidance machine for 20 years and get promoted to run the continent. Copy the evidence of it and spend most of a decade fighting to stay out of prison. BBC News (UK) · ICIJ · Reuters · Le Monde and others.

Who was running Luxembourg for almost 20 years while this machine was built and protected? Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister of Luxembourg until 2013. Deltour did not leak straight to the world. In 2012 he passed the documents to French journalist Edouard Perrin, who used them for a TV documentary. PwC noticed and filed a complaint with the Luxembourg courts. Then in November 2014, ICIJ ICIJ pulled together over 80 journalists across more than 30 media outlets in 26 countries and published the full scale of it as LuxLeaks. The timing could not have been worse for Juncker, or depending how you look at it, could not have been better. He had just been elected President of the European Commission days before the story broke. The man who ran the tax haven for two decades was now running Europe. A month later ICIJ dropped LuxLeaks 2, showing the other Big 4 accounting firms Deloitte, EY and KPMG were running the exact same playbook. This was never one bad apple. It was standard practice. Juncker faced a no confidence vote in the European Parliament over it. He survived. Deltour was not so lucky. December 2014, Luxembourg charges him with theft, violation of trade secrecy and fraudulent access to a computer system. He is facing up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 1,250,000 euros. For opening an unlocked folder on his way out the door. April 2016, the criminal trial. Deltour and his colleague Raphael Halet, another former PwC employee who leaked a second batch of documents, are both convicted. Deltour gets 12 months suspended and a 1,500 euro fine. Perrin the journalist is acquitted. Deltour appeals. Loses. Appeals again. Finally in May 2018 the Luxembourg Court of Appeal fully recognises him as a genuine whistleblower under European Court of Human Rights standards and acquits him completely. Halet's fight took even longer. He lost his Luxembourg appeals and only won at the European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber in 2023, nearly a decade after he first spoke up. The European Commission that Juncker went on to lead never opened a single formal investigation into a single LuxLeaks tax ruling. Not one. It did chase Starbucks, Fiat and Amazon over separate deals, but the mountain of paperwork Deltour handed over sat there untouched. So that is the LuxLeaks story. Build a tax avoidance machine for 20 years and get promoted to run the continent. Copy the evidence of it and spend most of a decade fighting to stay out of prison.

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1. Trump paused all military aid to Ukraine, escalating tensions days after his heated Oval Office meeting with Zelensky. A senior Defense Department official says the halt will remain until Ukraine shows a "good-faith commitment to peace." 2. Marine Le Pen said that France can't promise NATO membership for Ukraine "when we know that this option was a justification for Russian aggression and is now clearly rejected by the United States." 3. Trump signed an executive order doubling tariffs on Chinese imports from 10% to 20%, citing China's failure to "take adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis." 4. Toymakers are scrambling after Trump's 20% tariff hike on Chinese imports, with price hikes now inevitable. The Toy Association is pushing for an exemption, and with U.S manufacturing practically nonexistent, there's nowhere left to turn. 5. China hit back at Trump's tariff hike by slapping fresh tariffs on U.S goods, hitting American farmers where it hurts - with up to 15% hikes on wheat, corn, soybeans, meat, and more. 6. Romanian MEP Georgiana Teodorescu said that her country was no longer a true democracy: "In Romania, they canceled the elections last December; last week, we had also the arrest of the independent candidate, Mr. Georgescu. So now we are trying to have new presidential elections, but we are not sure if, this time, the Constitutional Court will allow free elections to happen." 7. China's Zuchongzhi-3 quantum chip left classical computing in the dust, running tasks a quadrillion times faster than today's top supercomputers. According to researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, it crushes Google's latest quantum benchmark by 6 orders of magnitude. 8. A nonprofit was raking in $18 million a month to run a migrant facility in Texas - one that's been sitting empty. Elon's DOGE called it out, and now the contract is dead. 9. Belgium plans to accelerate its defense spending, reaching 2% of GDP this year - the NATO minimum. Previously set for 2029, it marks a historic first for Belgium, which currently spends only 1.3% of GDP on defense. 10. Serbian opposition deputies set off smoke grenades inside parliament, disrupting a session in protest against government policies. The dramatic stunt was also a show of support for student-led demonstrations sweeping the country.

CANCEL Your Weekend Plans, and Learn Claude Code Today. $5,000/month. $10,000/month. $20,000/month. People are building entire apps and charging clients thousands using Claude Code. You're still Googling 'how to center a div.' While you're binge-watching a show you won't remember next week, a 19 year old with zero coding experience just built a $5,000 SaaS product in one afternoon using the tool I'm about to break down. Same laptop. Same internet. Same 24 hours. He has Claude Code. You have Netflix. That's the only difference. This YouTube video is a goldmine. Full Claude Code tutorial. Beginner to pro. Every feature. Every setup step. Every best practice. Zero prior knowledge needed. Save it. Watch it tonight. Not tomorrow. Tonight. Save this post. This is your complete Claude Code roadmap. Lose it and you lose the next 12 months of income. Follow Himanshu Kumar so you don't miss the breakdowns for each feature. ↓ 1. Understand What Claude Code Actually Is. You think Claude Code is just another chatbot. It's not. And that misunderstanding is why you're broke. ChatGPT gives you text. Claude Code gives you software. It runs in your terminal. It reads your entire codebase. It writes files directly to your project. It runs commands on your machine. It debugs errors autonomously. It builds features end to end. You're not chatting. You're deploying a developer. One that works 24/7. Never asks for a raise. Never calls in sick. Never pushes broken code at 5 PM on a Friday. People are charging clients $5,000-$10,000 for apps they built with Claude Code in 3 hours. And you didn't even know this tool existed because you're still asking ChatGPT to write you a to-do list. The gap between you and people making money with AI isn't intelligence. It's awareness. Now you're aware. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the complete breakdown of every Claude Code feature. ↓ 2. Set Up Claude Code Properly. Most people quit here. "It's too complicated." "I don't know terminal." "I'll set it up later." Later never comes. And "complicated" means "I watched for 30 seconds and gave up." The setup takes 10 minutes. Install Node.js. Install Claude Code via npm. Authenticate your account. Open your terminal. Done. 10 minutes. You spent longer this morning deciding what to have for breakfast. The video walks through every single click. Every command. Every screen. Assuming you know absolutely nothing. If you can download an app on your phone, you can set up Claude Code. It's the same level of difficulty. But you'll still tell yourself it's "too technical" because that excuse is more comfortable than admitting you're just scared to try something new. This is the setup that everything else builds on. Skip it and nothing works. ↓ 3. Use the Desktop App. You don't even need to live in the terminal if you don't want to. Claude Code has a desktop app. Clean interface. Visual feedback. Everything you need without touching command line. But here's the thing most people don't know: The desktop app isn't just a pretty wrapper. It lets you manage projects visually. See file changes in real time. Switch between projects instantly. The people making money with Claude Code use the desktop app for client projects because it's faster to manage multiple builds simultaneously. You're still opening 14 browser tabs to organize one project. They open one app and everything's there. Efficiency isn't a personality trait. It's a tool choice. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the desktop app workflow that handles 5 client projects at once. ↓ 4. Install the Right Dependencies. This is where beginners silently fail and blame the tool. Claude Code needs certain dependencies installed to work properly. Miss one and everything breaks. Then you go on Twitter and say "Claude Code doesn't work." It works fine. You just didn't read the setup guide. The video covers every dependency you need. What to install. How to install it. How to verify it's working. No guessing. No Stack Overflow rabbit holes at midnight. No "why isn't this working" for 3 hours. Watch the dependency section once. Follow every step. Never deal with setup issues again. You spent more time last week troubleshooting a printer than this takes. ↓ 5. Work Inside Your Code Editor. Claude Code integrates directly with your code editor. VS Code. Cursor. Whatever you use. It's not a separate window you alt-tab between. It's right there. In your workflow. You type a request. Claude writes the code. The code appears in your editor. You review it. Accept it. Done. No copy pasting between windows. No reformatting code that got mangled in transit. No "which version was the right one." It's like pair programming with someone who never gets distracted, never argues about naming conventions, and actually writes code that works on the first try. Your current coding process is: Google the problem, read 5 answers on Stack Overflow, copy the wrong one, debug for an hour, find the right one, paste it in, break something else, repeat. Claude Code's process is: describe what you want, get working code, move on with your life. Same hour. One method produces working software. The other produces frustration and a browser history full of Stack Overflow tabs. Stop coding the hard way. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for code editor setup guides and integration tips. ↓ 6. Master Basic Usage. Most people learn 5% of a tool and say they "know" it. You "know" Photoshop because you can crop an image. You "know" Excel because you can sum a column. You "know" Claude Code because you asked it one question. Basic usage means: How to give Claude Code context about your project. How to ask for changes to existing code. How to generate new files and features. How to review what Claude produces. How to iterate when the output isn't perfect. These basics are the foundation of everything. Skip them and every advanced feature feels confusing. Master them and every advanced feature feels obvious. The video breaks down each one with real examples. Not theory. Actual usage on actual projects. You've been using AI tools at 5% capacity and wondering why your results are 5% of what others get. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for daily Claude Code usage tips. ↓ 7. Learn Every Command. Claude Code has commands that most users never discover. Because most users type one message and expect magic. That's not how professionals use it. Professionals use specific commands that tell Claude Code exactly what to do, how to do it, and what constraints to follow. The difference between a beginner and someone making $10K/month with Claude Code is knowing which command to use and when. The video walks through every single one. Not just what they do. But when to use each one. And why one command is better than another for specific situations. You've been using Claude Code like a hammer. These commands turn it into a full toolbox. Stop treating a power tool like a blunt instrument. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the command cheat sheet I use daily. ↓ 8. Understand Modes and Shortcuts. Speed matters. The person who builds an app in 2 hours charges $5,000. The person who builds the same app in 2 days charges $2,000. Same app. Same quality. Different speed. Different income. Claude Code has modes that change how it operates. And shortcuts that cut your workflow time in half. Most people don't know either exists. They use Claude Code in default mode for everything. Like driving a car in first gear on the highway. Technically it works. But everyone is passing you. The video shows you every mode. Every shortcut. Every time-saving trick that separates the people charging $2,000 per project from the people charging $10,000. Speed is money. Literally. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the shortcuts that cut my build time by 60%. ↓ 9. Write a Proper Planning Prompt. This is the section that separates amateurs from professionals. And it's the section most people skip. A planning prompt tells Claude Code what you're building before you start building it. Architecture. File structure. Technologies. Features. Constraints. Edge cases. Without a planning prompt, Claude Code guesses. And guessing produces garbage. With a planning prompt, Claude Code executes a clear plan. And clear plans produce working software. The video shows you exactly how to write a planning prompt that makes Claude Code produce professional-grade output on the first try. "But I just want to start coding." That's why your code breaks every time. That's why you restart projects 4 times. That's why nothing you build ever gets finished. Because you refuse to plan. A 5-minute planning prompt saves you 5 hours of debugging. But you'd rather skip the 5 minutes and suffer through the 5 hours because patience isn't your thing. And that's exactly why you're not making money. Planning is the most underpaid skill in coding. And the most overpaid when you master it. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the planning prompt templates I use for every client project. ↓ 10. Choose the Right Model. Claude Code lets you select different AI models. Not all models are the same. Not all tasks need the same model. Using the most powerful model for a simple task wastes credits. Using a basic model for a complex task wastes time. The video explains: Which model to use for quick fixes. Which model to use for complex architecture. Which model to use for debugging. Which model to use for code generation. Most people pick one model and use it for everything. That's like using a sledgehammer to hang a picture frame. Model selection is strategy. And strategy is money. The people making $10K/month with Claude Code are strategic about every credit they spend. You're burning through credits because you use the most expensive model to write a hello world. ↓ 11. Use Git and Version Control. If you're not using version control, you're one mistake away from losing everything. Claude Code integrates with Git. Every change tracked. Every version saved. Every mistake reversible. Without Git: Claude makes a change. It breaks something. You can't undo it. You start over. 3 hours wasted. With Git: Claude makes a change. It breaks something. You roll back in 5 seconds. Keep working. Version control isn't optional. It's insurance. And the people not using it are the same people who say "I lost my entire project" like it's something that just happens. It doesn't just happen. It happens because you didn't set up Git. The video walks through the entire Git integration. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the Git workflow that's saved every project I've ever built. ↓ 12. Set Up Claude.MD and Memory. This is the feature that makes Claude Code feel like a real team member instead of a stranger you explain everything to every time. ClaudeMD is a memory file. You tell Claude Code about your project once. It remembers forever. Coding style preferences. Project architecture decisions. Technology stack. File naming conventions. Business logic rules. Without ClaudeMD: Every new conversation starts from zero. You explain the same things repeatedly. Output is inconsistent. With ClaudeMD: Claude knows your project. Claude follows your rules. Claude produces consistent, professional code. The difference between a sloppy freelancer and a reliable agency is consistency. Claude. MD gives you consistency without the agency overhead. Most people don't set this up and wonder why Claude Code gives different answers every time. ↓ 13. Automate with Tasks. This is where Claude Code stops being a tool and starts being an employee. Tasks let you define repeating workflows. "Every time I push code, run tests." "Every time I create a new file, add boilerplate." "Every time I start a session, check for errors." Automated. Hands-free. Consistent. You're doing these things manually every single day. The same checks. The same steps. The same routine. Tasks do them automatically. So you can focus on the work that actually makes money. Every manual task you automate is time you get back. And time is the only thing you can never make more of. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the task automation templates that run my entire workflow. ↓ 14. Explore Features Most People Never Touch. The video covers features that 95% of Claude Code users don't know exist. Because they watched a 3-minute TikTok about Claude Code and think they're experts now. They're not. They're using 5% of a tool that can do everything. The full tutorial goes deep into features that most tutorials skip because they're "too advanced." They're not too advanced. They're too valuable for lazy creators to bother explaining. This video explains all of them. Clearly. For beginners. The 5% of features you don't know about are the 5% that make people rich. ↓ Let's zoom out. I just broke down 14 sections of Claude Code. Setup and installation. Desktop app. Dependencies. Code editor integration. Basic usage. Commands. Modes and shortcuts. Planning prompts. Model selection. Git and version control. Memory and Claude. MD. Tasks and automation. Advanced features. All in one video. All free. All beginner friendly. The person who masters even half of these in the next 2 weeks will be in the top 1% of Claude Code users. The top 1% of Claude Code users are the ones charging $5,000-$10,000 per project and building them in a single afternoon. Everyone else is asking ChatGPT to fix their resume. Same tools. Same access. Completely different outcomes. Because one person treats AI like a toy. And the other treats it like a business. ↓ Here's the hard truth nobody wants to hear. You don't have a talent problem. You don't have an intelligence problem. You don't have a resources problem. You have an action problem. Everything I just listed has a free tutorial right here in the attached video. 33 minutes. That's it. 33 minutes to learn the tool that people are using to build $5,000-$20,000/month businesses. You spent more time today scrolling Twitter than it takes to watch this video. You spent more time this week watching Netflix than it takes to master Claude Code basics. You spent more time this month doing nothing than it would take to completely change your income. The information is free. The tool is accessible. The opportunity is here. The only thing missing is you caring enough to start. ↓ CANCEL your plans this week. This isn't optional anymore. The people learning Claude Code right now will be building apps for the people who didn't learn it. That's not a prediction. That's already happening. Companies are replacing $150/hour developers with one person and Claude Code. If you code: learn Claude Code or become half as valuable by next year. If you don't code: learn Claude Code or miss the biggest opportunity to start earning from tech without a CS degree. There's no path forward that doesn't include AI coding tools. None. You have one window. Right now. This week. ↓ Here's your action plan for the next 7 days: Day 1: Watch the full video. Install Claude Code. Set up dependencies. Day 2: Learn basic usage. Try 5 different commands. Day 3: Write your first planning prompt. Build a small project. Day 4: Set up Claude. MD. Configure your memory file. Day 5: Master modes and shortcuts. Build a second project faster. Day 6: Set up Git integration. Automate with tasks. Day 7: Build something real. A tool, an app, a website. Ship it. 7 days. One tool. One completely different skill set. One completely different income potential. Or 7 more days of scrolling Twitter watching other people build things while you "plan to start." Your call. ↓ This is the most important video you'll watch this year. 33 minutes. Complete Claude Code mastery. From zero to building real projects. Save this post. Come back to it every single day this week. Check off each section as you complete it. Follow Himanshu Kumar for daily Claude Code breakdowns, advanced tutorials, and the exact workflows that are turning beginners into $10K/month builders. The only thing between you and $10K/month with Claude Code is this video and 7 days. Don't waste them. You Must Follow me Himanshu Kumar, so i can send you DM.

The video walks through the entire Git integration. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the Git workflow that's saved every project I've ever built. ↓ 12. Set Up Claude.MD and Memory. This is the feature that makes Claude Code feel like a real team member instead of a stranger you explain everything to every time. ClaudeMD is a memory file. You tell Claude Code about your project once. It remembers forever. Coding style preferences. Project architecture decisions. Technology stack. File naming conventions. Business logic rules. Without ClaudeMD: Every new conversation starts from zero. You explain the same things repeatedly. Output is inconsistent. With ClaudeMD: Claude knows your project. Claude follows your rules. Claude produces consistent, professional code. The difference between a sloppy freelancer and a reliable agency is consistency. Claude. MD gives you consistency without the agency overhead. Most people don't set this up and wonder why Claude Code gives different answers every time. ↓ 13. Automate with Tasks. This is where Claude Code stops being a tool and starts being an employee. Tasks let you define repeating workflows. "Every time I push code, run tests." "Every time I create a new file, add boilerplate." "Every time I start a session, check for errors." Automated. Hands-free. Consistent. You're doing these things manually every single day. The same checks. The same steps. The same routine. Tasks do them automatically. So you can focus on the work that actually makes money. Every manual task you automate is time you get back. And time is the only thing you can never make more of. Save this post. Follow Himanshu Kumar for the task automation templates that run my entire workflow. ↓ 14. Explore Features Most People Never Touch. The video covers features that 95% of Claude Code users don't know exist. Because they watched a 3-minute TikTok about Claude Code and think they're experts now. They're not. They're using 5% of a tool that can do everything. The full tutorial goes deep into features that most tutorials skip because they're "too advanced." They're not too advanced. They're too valuable for lazy creators to bother explaining. This video explains all of them. Clearly. For beginners. The 5% of features you don't know about are the 5% that make people rich. ↓ Let's zoom out. I just broke down 14 sections of Claude Code. Setup and installation. Desktop app. Dependencies. Code editor integration. Basic usage. Commands. Modes and shortcuts. Planning prompts. Model selection. Git and version control. Memory and Claude. MD. Tasks and automation. Advanced features. All in one video. All free. All beginner friendly. The person who masters even half of these in the next 2 weeks will be in the top 1% of Claude Code users. The top 1% of Claude Code users are the ones charging $5,000-$10,000 per project and building them in a single afternoon. Everyone else is asking ChatGPT to fix their resume. Same tools. Same access. Completely different outcomes. Because one person treats AI like a toy. And the other treats it like a business. ↓ Here's the hard truth nobody wants to hear. You don't have a talent problem. You don't have an intelligence problem. You don't have a resources problem. You have an action problem. Everything I just listed has a free tutorial right here in the attached video. 33 minutes. That's it. 33 minutes to learn the tool that people are using to build $5,000-$20,000/month businesses. You spent more time today scrolling Twitter than it takes to watch this video. You spent more time this week watching Netflix than it takes to master Claude Code basics. You spent more time this month doing nothing than it would take to completely change your income. The information is free. The tool is accessible. The opportunity is here. The only thing missing is you caring enough to start. ↓ CANCEL your plans this week. This isn't optional anymore. The people learning Claude Code right now will be building apps for the people who didn't learn it. That's not a prediction. That's already happening. Companies are replacing $150/hour developers with one person and Claude Code. If you code: learn Claude Code or become half as valuable by next year. If you don't code: learn Claude Code or miss the biggest opportunity to start earning from tech without a CS degree. There's no path forward that doesn't include AI coding tools. None. You have one window. Right now. This week. ↓ Here's your action plan for the next 7 days: Day 1: Watch the full video. Install Claude Code. Set up dependencies. Day 2: Learn basic usage. Try 5 different commands. Day 3: Write your first planning prompt. Build a small project. Day 4: Set up Claude. MD. Configure your memory file. Day 5: Master modes and shortcuts. Build a second project faster. Day 6: Set up Git integration. Automate with tasks. Day 7: Build something real. A tool, an app, a website. Ship it. 7 days. One tool. One completely different skill set. One completely different income potential. Or 7 more days of scrolling Twitter watching other people build things while you "plan to start." Your call. ↓ This is the most important video you'll watch this year. 33 minutes. Complete Claude Code mastery. From zero to building real projects. Save this post.
