This is the classic "First Follower: Leadership Lessons from Dancing Guy" video by Derek Sivers. The video shows real footage from the Sasquatch Music Festival where a lone guy (the "shirtless dancing guy") starts dancing wildly by himself in the crowd — looking like a total "lone nut." Slowly,...

SOME GUY BUILT A 24/7 ONLINE RAVE IN YOUR BROWSER AND IT IS COMPLETELY FREE TO ATTEND it's called Hallucinate. you click one link, your browser loads a 3D field at night, and suddenly you are standing in a crowd of hundreds of low-poly strangers dancing under a moon to a youtube video playing on a giant screen. there is no login. there is no wallet. there is no signup. you are just at the rave. the rave has its own keyboard. > 7 and 8 cycle your hair color > 9 and 0 cycle your skin tone > U and I cycle your hair style > L and ; cycle your dance moves > V is the wave emote > B is the bounce emote > SPACE bar is literally labeled "speak" every other person in the room is a real human pressing the same keys, in real time. nobody ever stops dancing because the creator wrote on hacker news: "everybody dancing forever is crucial for the feeling. you don't stop dancing in a rave." the dev who made it goes by the handle stagas. he says the entire thing was "vibe coded in its entirety" by an LLM. the commit messages on the repo are three words long: "cool." "jump jump." "perf." he has about 500 other repos on his github account. the post went up on Show HN two days ago. it is currently sitting at 435 points and 193 comments and the top discussion in the thread is people arguing whether magic numbers in shaders.ts disqualify you from getting a job. we built the global internet so that two strangers across the planet could fall in love or trade stocks or topple regimes. and the very best thing happening on it right now is a thousand cubes dancing forever under a fake moon. the internet is healing.

POLL: Nearly half of First Nations voters in Alberta back independence A poll commissioned by @ActForAlberta found 46% of First Nations respondents said they'd vote to leave Canada in a referendum on independence. Sheila Gunn Reid shares details from a poll commissioned by Act For Alberta, which found 46% of First Nations respondents would support independence if a referendum were held on the matter. For months, we’ve been told Alberta independence is fringe. That Indigenous people oppose it. That claim is doing a lot of work right now, especially in court. And then this lands: Nearly half of indigenous voters support independence. Someone tell the activist chiefs — the narrative just blew apart. According to exclusive polling commissioned by Act For Alberta, and full disclosure, I’m the listed contact for that third-party advertiser, 46% of First Nations respondents say they would vote to leave Canada. Nearly half. That's higher than support in the general Alberta population, which sits at one in three. That alone should force a rethink. Now layer this on top: 301,000 signatures, collected by 7,000 volunteers. In a long, bitterly cold Alberta winter. And what happens next? They don’t get verified. Not counted. Not certified. They're stopped, wrapped in evidence tape like some crime scene because a judge has issued a stay blocking the validation process while a legal challenge from First Nations groups plays out. So, line this up. Nearly half of First Nations respondents are open to independence. But activist chiefs claiming to speak for all Indigenous Albertans want to protect the failing federalist status quo, not just for their people, but for all of us. Hundreds of thousands of Albertans signed a petition to at least ask the question. And the activist chiefs involved in the lawsuit are asking the court to freeze the process before it reaches a result. That’s the moment we’re in. A political question with massive public engagement, halted before it could be measured. There’s a gap here. Between what’s being argued in court by gatekeepers and what people are actually saying when you ask them directly. And it is not a small gap. Indigenous communities are not one voice. Albertans are not one voice. That is the whole point of a vote. Everyone gets their say on referendum day. So, here’s the question that does not go away: if the answer is so obvious, why not let the process finish? Why not count the signatures and drop the lawsuit? Why not let people speak? Because once it becomes one person, one vote, the outcome is not controlled anymore, and the narrative is shattered for good.

DANCING IN THE STREET UPGRADED 4K VIDEO WITH PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN FOOTAGE “Just as long as you are there...” The headline says it all, keep reading for the full press release and links. #BowieJaggerDITS DAVID BOWIE & MICK JAGGER - DANCING IN THE STREET WATCH THE 12” REMIX UPGRADED 4K VIDEO FEATURING UNSEEN FOOTAGE HERE NOW 40th ANNIVERSARY - LIMITED EDITION REMASTERED WHITE VINYL 12” OUT NOW ON PARLOPHONE RECORDS 40 years ago this week, the David Bowie and Mick Jagger duet of the Motown classic, “Dancing In The Street” was released with all the proceeds benefiting famine relief. The track and video had been debuted six weeks earlier during Live Aid, the benefit concert organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise further funds for the relief of the famine in Ethiopia. The video, which, like the song, had been recorded and filmed in thirteen hours, only fourteen days earlier, was shown just before Bowie took to the stage at Wembley Stadium. The making of the video was documented at the time, but that footage has mainly remained unseen until today. The new 4K video for the Steve Thompson Mix remix of the track features behind-the-scenes footage from the late-night shoot at Spillers Millennium Mills in the East End of London. The single version of the song was released on 27th August, with all the proceeds benefiting famine relief. It topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks and reached No. 7 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of ”Dancing In The Street,” a limited edition white vinyl 12" is available now, bringing together every one of the song's mixes for the first time. As with the original, 30% of the retail price from the sale of this single, representing royalties and proceeds, will be donated to the Band Aid Charitable Trust by David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Parlophone Records. Talking about the collaboration today, Mick Jagger comments ‘’We had such a laugh doing ‘Dancing in the Street’ with both the song recorded in the studio and the video done in one day. Remarkable how we pulled it off really. The video is hilarious to watch now. We enjoyed camping it up and trying to impersonate each other’s moves, making it up as we went along. It was the only time David and myself collaborated on anything, which is a real shame.” Speaking about the song and video at the time, Bowie said “We thought about it on a Thursday night and we just went through a bunch of old songs and thought that ‘Dancing’ was one we both knew very well and then we went into the studio between 7 and 11 on Saturday night and then we went over to the Docklands and shot the video for the rest of the night so we did the whole thing in ten hours, it was great.” He also talked about the spirit of Live Aid, saying “Everybody out there who sent money in, you’re the real heroes because it’s easy for me to go up there and sing some songs, but it’s much harder for you to give money and not be recognised. Good on ya!” DAVID BOWIE & MICK JAGGER DANCING IN THE STREET 40th ANNIVERSARY WHITE VINYL TRACKLISTING SIDE ONE Dancing In The Street (Clearmountain Mix) (3.11) Dancing In The Street (Instrumental) (3.17) Dancing In The Street (Steve Thompson Mix) (4.42) SIDE TWO Dancing In The Street (Edit) (3.24) Dancing In The Street (Dub) (4.43) DAVID BOWIE & MICK JAGGER - DANCING IN THE STREET - 40th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION REMASTERED WHITE VINYL 12” - OUT NOW ON PARLOPHONE

Another strong conversation in Red Deer was with a supporter who put his finger on something important: for a lot of Albertans, this is no longer mainly about oil or even economics. It is about freedom, rights, and whether Alberta still has a future inside a country that no longer feels like the one people grew up loving. He says it directly: this is not the Canada he fell in love with, and more and more people feel the same way. What makes this exchange significant is that it shows how the movement is maturing. It starts with the visible size of the line, the honking, and the energy on the street, but very quickly the conversation goes deeper. He argues that if people really understood what Ottawa is doing, they would be all over this. That is a revealing point because it frames Alberta independence not as some fringe impulse, but as a conclusion people arrive at once they stop assuming Canada still operates on the values it claims to stand for. We then get into one of the deepest issues of all: rights. He makes the argument that Canadians are taught to think they have rights, but in practice many of those rights function more like privileges that can be overridden. I respond by pointing to the first clause of the Charter and the broader constitutional problem that Canadians often speak as if they have American-style guarantees when they do not. That matters because once people conclude their freedoms are conditional, they stop thinking only in economic terms and start thinking civilizationally. What kind of country do we actually live in, and what kind of country do we want to build? He also makes a crucial point when he says this has gone way beyond oil and pipelines. He brings up unfair representation, the treatment of Alberta, and the feeling that the system has never really been fair to this province, only now it is being said openly and to our faces. That is one of the reasons the independence argument is broadening. It is no longer just resource frustration. It is about political dignity, democratic legitimacy, and whether Alberta is treated as a partner or as a region to be used. And the ending says a lot too. He brings it back to the kids, to affordability, to family formation, and to the people who are hurting the most. That is the deeper moral force behind this movement. For many supporters, Alberta independence is not mainly about anger. It is about creating a future where the next generation can still afford a home, raise a family, and live with real freedom and real opportunity.

we all dream of those big wins in life the 100x, the multi-million dollar trade, or even just 10x of what you started with in 7 days i’ve been fortunate enough to experience a few of those over the past few years, and the reality is when you do win big, it doesn’t feel like it at all it hits for a split second, and then your brain just normalizes it it's a part of how to get there in the first place, but makes it a lot easier to lose it if you don't have the right guardrails in place and in that exact moment, you being even keeled doesn’t mean the number in front of you isn’t life changing it is this is where you have to slow down a bit, breathe, settle your mind don’t just roll it into some bullshit take some off the table, step away for a few days if you have to, funny enough, blowing let's say 10k of it on a beautiful trip to tokyo will save you so much because once you actually process what just happened, your future self will thank you for it the truth is, even if you think you’re going for a certain number, the moment you hit it, you’ll want more and more, and more anyone who's been in the same position will tell you the exact same thing ironically the people that win are addicted to winning and if you ask the same people in a year after that big win, what they regret and where are they proud of themselves? they will tell you they regretted rolling it over and giving some/all back or they are proud for switching back on the switch all of this is real, but it’s also exactly how i imagined it would feel years ago before it ever happened manifest your life, the feeling not just the number everything happens twice, first in your mind, then in reality
