Tom Cruise reveals how he kept Hollywood working during COVID: calling rival studios and saying 'we're shooting our movies' “Well, what I did was is basically, yeah, I did. Because look, my friends, it's not just about the films I'm making.” “And then I called back a week later and I was like, 'How's it going?' They said, 'Oh yeah, we're shooting our films.' I said, 'Cuz we're coming out next summer, you know. So we're on this date. I hope you're not on this date.'” “Then I called the studio that I was working with. I said, 'Look, all these guys are making movies. We got to make movies.'” “I was calling like, 'We have to set up the rules. Let's make agreements so that we can get back to work.' And then I was calling governments and getting agreements with them. And then I was telling, sharing it with the other studios and my friends saying, 'This is how we're doing it.'” “And just kind of saying, 'My crew is going to get paid during this time.' I just kept everybody working.” “Our orchestra for Top Gun Maverick, we were able to get mics to people's apartments all over the world where they're recording their instruments and then combining those instruments to create a live orchestra.”

After many requests, here is my full stock scanning and daily process to swing trade momentum breakouts. I've been swing trading momentum stocks and averaged 100%+ returns per year, with $1 - Avg $ volume past 20 days is 20MM min - 8 >20>50 EMAs - Close above 20 EMA - Close > previous day high - CML indicator GREEN I just inverted these for shorts, and the same for ETFs long and short. My universe is US stocks + American depositary receipts. Once I get my scanning going, all I do is identify stocks breaking out according to my rules. I manually go through the scan results (shown in the video), identify potential setups, bring them onto TradingView, and decide if I want to enter. If you want to know more about my setup and how I swing trade momentum breakouts long and short to play with this scanning process, make sure to read my latest explanation in the tweet below. Once I identify with a manual review a setup that meets my criteria, I load it into TWS, make sure my position sizing is in check to risk 1% per trade from entry to stop, and enter. After 4:00 pm EST, the markets are closed, and I enter my stops and my BE alarms. That's it. I close my computer and come back the next day, and repeat the process, every day, every week, every month, every year. If you are NOT doing the same thing over and over in your process, you are doing random stuff. As you see, scanning is NOT the answer to a profitable strategy. Scanning is a process that derives directly from your EDGE. Not the other way around. Once you know what your edge is with extreme detail, you know how to find the stocks you want. Remember. Setup > Process > Scans. Everything starts with your EDGE 📈

Here is my full daily routine and scan process I follow. I swing trade stocks, and do all of my work in the last 30 min of the trading day. That's how I manage to average 100%+ returns/year with -10% max DD, entering my trades EOD. If you don't have a daily routine/process you adhere to, it will be almost impossible to make money swing trading stocks in the long term. I have the same routine and scanning process I followed for the past 6 years without fail. That's how you build consistency in your own trading and your setup/system/strategy. If you don't have a solid process you repeat every single day, you would be doing random stuff. Random stuff = losing money. Here is how my day goes: --> 3:30pm EST - I get to my laptop (yes, ditched the 5 monitors for a single laptop), - open up my software (TC2000, TradingView, and TWS) - And begin scanning on my long, short, and ETF scans on TradingView (see video attached for scan details and layout ✅) --> 3:50pm EST By this time, I: - already know which stocks are giving my signals according to my system, - I sort them in TradingView by ADR %, - And prioritize if I have more than 5 signals (that's my max limit per day) --> 3:58pm EST - Now I pre-loaded my orders on TWS, - check my position size to have a 1% risk per trade in all positions, - and execute just before the close --> 4:01pm EST - Markets are closed, so I add my Stop Loss and BE alarm - close my computer, and come back tomorrow in the last 30 minutes before the close and repeat... As you see, once you have your system and process in place, you can execute your system flawlessly, and that's what brings consistency and growth to your account over days, weeks, months, and years of doing the same thing over and over again... Build your process, and execute every day and you will grow with your system 📈

BITCOIN RAILS #43: A HISTORY OF “SPAM” on BITCOIN | with Peter Todd 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: “You cannot prevent arbitrary data from being published in Bitcoin transactions. Even at the consensus level…It’s mathematically impossible.” Legendary Bitcoin contributor since 2009 and self-described "weirdo with a fine arts degree," Peter Todd joins me to unpack the endless wars over Bitcoin's "true purpose," his pioneering work putting "spam" on the blockchain, and why he believes attempts to filter transactions are just “silly.” In this episode, we get deep into the history of using Bitcoin for data storage - which goes back, at least, to the development of Namecoin in 2011. Relatedly, we cover the history and long-fought governance battles around OP_RETURN, relay policy, and our community's evolving definitions of "arbitrary data. Suffice it to say, the Filter Wars of 2024/25 are not new... they are simply one battle in a decade+ war we unpack in detail in this context-rich episode of Bitcoin Rails. In more detail, this episode covers: - The development of Open Time Stamps + Bitcoin's use in validating election data and beyond. - OPRETURN battles of the early days... and how its use has evolved over the past decade. - Why Bitcoin Core "should not try to censor transactions" and the "performance art project" (Libre Relay) that shows why. - Bitcoin as a "replicated database" and why blockchains may legitimately be useful outside of sound money. - Why preventing arbitrary data on Bitcoin is "mathematically impossible" ...and trying to stop it is only distracting us from "more important" efforts, like the Great Consensus Cleanup Antoine Poinsot. This episode of Bitcoin Rails is powered by: - Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. - Spark (Lightspark) — a statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. - Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋) — the leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:19 Bitcoin Early Days 03:44 OpenTimestamps Project 12:22 Governance and Bitcoin Protocol Debates 26:36 The Blockchain Use Case Argument 35:46 Transaction Version Numbers and Standardization 38:30 Preventing Exploits and DDoS Attacks 40:10 Relay Policies and Economic Decisions 42:00 The Taproot Annex and OP_RETURN 45:07 Libre Relay 01:01:18 Future of Bitcoin and Soft Fork Proposals

$100k a month from "gifts" 🤯 PinkyDoll is making over 6 figures a month on TikTok pretending to be an NPC. Why on earth does this work? - It's immediately recognisable, - We like sounds, and - We loooove instant gratification. 1️⃣ It's almost meme-like. We see it and we immediately relate to it. Whether you consciously know what she's doing or not, your brain has seen this before if you've played games in the past. The 🧠 IT KNOWS! 2️⃣ Short sounds are everywhere. Most primitive, they're in our language as we make syllables but they also make up a lot of our common expressions like oh, ah, uh huh, yuk, etc... However, short sounds are everywhere online, in the devices we use and even real life! Like in games when going up levels or receiving a new item. Mobile phones with haptic sounds, notifications, the battery is charging. Or even the toaster when that glorious "pop" is heard. Add to that... 3️⃣ The instant gratification and you know the dopamine hit is real! People send these "gifts" and an action and sound are produced. I'm not into TikTok so I had no idea about "gifts" until now, but my guess is these gifts/rewards are mostly used as a "thank you" in the platform... Like a donation or a "buy a coffee" to a creator you like. However, with PinkyDoll, you get "more" You get a specific action and sound instantly on her lives which (some) people simply love. Another thing is anticipation. Anticipation and not knowing what sound/reaction is coming can also be extremely addictive! So whether you vibe with it or not... Don't hate the player, hate the game. Gang gang. Prrr prrr What do think? And why else do you think this works? 🤔 Let me know in the comments 👇

#WATCH | On being asked if Pakistan could be a staging ground for any potential American invasion in Iran amid the West Asia conflict, Geopolitical Risk Advisor Colonel Douglas Macgregor (Retd) Douglas Macgregor says, "I doubt it. I think that's a bridge too far for them. If you land down near the border with Pakistan, Baluchistan, and try to march north, that would be the death march of death marches for an army trying to cross these vast territories... We live in a new world. Everybody says this is asymmetric warfare. It's not. You have on one side the United States, which has fielded its World War II force structure. You're looking at the 1944-45 force structure with new stuff, but it's the same force structure... On the other side is the new 21st century force structure... We once had a monopoly on precision back before the turn of the century. We've lost that. That precision capability rests in the hands of people all over the world. And suddenly, mid-range powers that before were largely incapable of presenting resistance can shut down our armed forces... If you tried to land in the southern part of Iran, they would see it immediately. The only question that they would then ask themselves is how long do we wait before we destroy it?... I don't know what the thinking is. Perhaps there is some sort of miracle of engineering that breaks the laws of physics that will allow us to magically insert people without anybody being seen... My assumption is that the laws of physics still apply. As a result, we're going to put a lot of people in a very dangerous place, and we're not going to get the effect from it that we want... I just don't see an easy way out, but I think we're going to try something. And I think it's going to fail." Watch full episode here:

Using Claude Fable 5, I built a model that predicts the entire 2026 FIFA world cup.. every single game, not just the final.. so let me break the whole thing down. what it does, how it works, and exactly how i built it.. #1 First what it does: it predicts all 104 games of the tournament. not just who lifts the trophy, but every group match, every knockout, the full path from the round of 32 to the final.. everything lands in one dashboard: > group stage, every match with each team's win % and the chance of a draw > standings, how all 12 groups are projected to finish > bracket, the full knockout tree with each team's odds of advancing > champion odds, who's most likely to actually win it all and it doesn't freeze after one prediction. the moment a real game is played, it locks that result in and re-runs everything around it. so the odds move live as the tournament goes, week by week you watch favorites rise and contenders collapse. #2. How it works: the core idea is simple. the model only ever predicts one thing, a single match. the real trick is the repetition. it learns from decades of match history, then plays the whole tournament out from the first game to the final, tens of thousands of times. each run it records who advanced and who won. do that enough and you stop getting one guess and start getting real odds, one team lifts the trophy in maybe 14% of the runs, another in 9%, and so on. #3. So, how i built it ? i didn't hand-write most of the code. i broke the project into 4 pieces, described each one to fable, and let it build while i focused on getting the football logic exactly right. - The data every international match going back over a century, around 50,000 games, plus each team's elo rating, which is the truest measure of strength, and the official 2026 schedule. garbage data means garbage predictions, so this part mattered most. - The features i turned that raw history into signals the model can learn from, the elo gap between the two teams, recent form, goals scored and conceded, and a home boost for the hosts, usa, canada and mexico. - The model for each match it predicts the expected goals for both sides, then turns that into win, draw and loss probabilities plus a likely scoreline. that's what feeds the simulation. - The tournament engine this was the hard part. the 2026 world cup is brand new, 48 teams, 12 groups, a round of 32 that's never existed before, and 8 "best third-placed" teams that slot into the bracket by a fixed fifa table. even the group tiebreakers changed this year, head to head now counts before goal difference. get any of it wrong and the whole bracket falls apart, so i built it carefully and tested the format until it was exact, then wrapped it in a simulation loop that plays the tournament out tens of thousands of times. and the last piece, the live part. as real results come in, they get locked, and only the unplayed games get re-simulated. that's what makes it a living model instead of a one-time prediction. all of it outputs to a clean dashboard you can actually read and screenshot.. right now, before kickoff, it already has a clear favorite to lift the trophy.. 👀 btw who's your pick to win the 2026 world cup?

Imp would like to share something with you all today. A few days ago during a karaoke stream, before I sang this very song, I shared with my chat the story of how I discovered it and why it meant so much to me . . . Since I was a little imp, living at home with my family was always incredibly difficult. As much as I love my parents dearly, they didn’t feel the same way about each other. Almost every morning, I woke up to them screaming through my walls, which often left me stuck in the middle, trying to be their therapist. After years and years of enduring this, I became emotionally exhausted and I eventually fell into a deep depression. And once I became the breadwinner, everything became even harder. Most of their arguments came down to money . . or rather, the lack of it. So I tried to find a solution. Every stream I ever did was for them. They gave me so much as a child, so I was happy to give back. I kept hoping that maybe, with my help, they’d find happiness again. That everything would finally stop. But it never did. It was never enough. Everyone kept telling me that what I was doing wasn’t healthy, that I wasn’t responsible for them, and that I needed to start choosing myself and doing things that make me happy. So one day, instead of ordering my usual coffee to go, I decided to bring my laptop and sit there, letting myself enjoy the outside for once. I know that moment might seem small to some people, but for me, allowing myself to sit there with the quiet breeze without rushing meant . . . everything. It was that very moment where I decided to finally move out and go live my dream in California so that I could hold onto this feeling of bliss forever. - And that's when this song played at the cafe. I sat there in silence after making that big decision and let the music wash over me. When the trumpet hit, tears poured down my face. I knew then, I was moving to California. I was going to live next to my best friends. I was going to see so many beautiful places. I was finally going to be free.

Asked multiple drivers in the media bullpen what it was like to have a day off Monday and then going back to work Tuesday to start a "normal" week. There was very little time between losing Kyle Busch and the start of Coke 600 weekend. Brad Keselowski: "I think most of the industry takes (Memorial Day) off, and usually it's just a break after running 600 miles. But it definitely had a different feel to it this year than others of more than just a physical rest, but a mental rest as well." Kyle Larson: "Showing our support to the Busch family on pit road before the race and getting to see them - helped me anyways sort of, I don't know, find some peace in it all. Just to see their faces and hug them and all that kind of helped me move forward. "I felt fine getting in the racecar and just getting back to work. Obviously you don't forget about them or anything like that, but you kind of have to heal and go." Todd Gilliland: "I thought all the tributes, all that stuff was very fitting last week, and I'm sure it'll continue on throughout really the rest of the year. That's a thing, right? You don't really know when it stops and just how, really, back to normal does it ever get." Tyler Reddick, who celebrated his son Rookie's first birthday on Monday: "For everything that happened over the weekend with the Busch family, Monday comes around, it's my son's first birthday and everything he's been through - when you're sitting still like that, a lot's on your mind. "While it was nice to take a step back and just chill, at the same time all these thoughts do run through your head. A lot of things come to mind."

Best ⚾ Pitcher Mobility Drill A common problem for baseball pitchers is the gradual tightness and loss of ROM in the shoulder over the course of the game and season. The goal is to restore mobility BEFORE your athlete picks up a ball and then maintain it. Try the “2-Out Drill” to warm up your athlete before pitching and to maintain mobility between innings throughout a game. 👇 Here it is: 1️⃣ Static Stretches - you want to start with these and hold each pose for only about 3 seconds. Exercises like the cross-body stretch and wrist flexion. 2️⃣ Rotator Cuff Activation Drills - these will really fire up the rotator cuff and warm it up. Perform 5 circles forward and 5 circles back in both large circles and small circles. 3️⃣ Movement Prep - here you really want to get dynamic, with cross-body hugs, swims, and field goals, about 5 each. 4️⃣ Trunk Rotation - Lastly, we’re going to work on trunk rotation drills This entire drill might take 1-2 minutes but has been shown scientifically to improve ROM and performance over the course of a game. It’s designed to be quick enough to do for pitchers in the dugout when there are two outs and they are getting ready to head back out. Want to work with professional baseball players?

I'll say what almost nobody in this space will say right now: I'm bullish. I literally don't care. At the highest fear we've seen, with every chart looking absolutely horrendous, I'm bullish on crypto. Oh well! Call me the bad guy for it. I'm fine being that guy. Almost no one is discussing these charts, and I will happily be the one to show them to you. Even if I'm wrong, I'm glad to be able to offer this data for consideration. Start with copper/gold. Overlay it on PMI going back to 2012 and the correlation is almost uncomfortable. Every PMI expansion, copper/gold turns up with it, and every one of those has lined up with a crypto bull market. Right now copper/gold just reclaimed its 20-month moving average. It's turning on the macro. Then the one that actually really matters. Take the altcoin market cap excluding the top 10. A small sliver of the entire market... Lay it over PMI and it tracks cleanly, bear, bull, bear, bull. PMI ticked up again two days ago, and that chart is expanding right now, in real time, in lockstep with it. Altcoins are literally printing on the chart alongside PMI while everyone calls the space dead. I'm not getting on the fear train while so many of these indicators are lining up the way they are. I've built my businesses in this space. I'll ride it to zero if that's how it goes. I just don't think it goes that way.

Lewis Pullman talks about the craziest day on the set of ‘Thunderbolts*’ ⚡️ “I mean, that final sequence in the lab where Bob fights the Void was something like I've never done before in my life. Because to differentiate the fighting style between the Void and Bob was really difficult. And I was so lucky to work with this stunt double Alec Back, who is just so awesome in every way and such a good buddy and was so along for the ride and so invested. So we had so many conversations about the body language of how we're going to differentiate. We wanted Bob to look like he was an eight-year-old and on a playground, like he has no experience like how he throws these punches. But then there's a wildness and there's a feralness to where it goes to. And then actually shooting that, I had to shoot both sides of the fight. Alec was standing in for the opposite side. And you don't just get to do one part of it the whole way through. You have to do it a bunch of different ways depending on what the setups are. And keeping the choreography in your mind about whether I'm getting punched or punching was like so disorienting. It fried my brain. And then also going back and forth in between those different styles and body language of them and keeping who [I am now] in mind and changing your clothes hundred times throughout the course of the day. And all these incredible actors are there tied up and they're in the room, so feeling that pressure of, like, this has to work.” 📹:

I have had about 24 hours to collect my thoughts on the fact that Charleston White placed me in his followers’ crosshairs in his last interview. I watched the entire video and was shocked at some of the words that came out of his mouth, allegedly information fed to him by Drew Anthony, Karmelo Anthony’s father. He smeared the Metcalf family and told lie after lie. But he also, once again, placed a target on my back, just like Dominique Alexander did. In JumpSuitPablo’s latest podcast on YouTube, he goes over Charleston White’s words. White created an entire fake narrative in the video, a self-defense narrative that I know came straight from Drew Anthony, because these are the same exact words Drew would spew at me on Facebook Messenger for days on end. Every time I released new information, documents, or records, Drew would message me, accusing me of harassment. White said, “Whoever Sarah Fields is, you’re a rotten motherf*cker. And if I had an army to put behind this family, I would.” He also said that “he (Karmelo) should have killed both of them.” These are the people the Metcalf family and I have been dealing with since the beginning of April. Please listen to this clip. JumpSuitPablo reads off a threatening comment toward me. It’s not for the faint of heart. I have never cried while listening to a podcast before, but JumpSuitPablo’s kind words were deeply appreciated. He said, “I stand with Sarah Fields. Let’s protect Sarah Fields.” His words shine brightly for me and my family right now. I stand with the Metcalf family. I stand with Austin. And I will never stop being a voice for Austin. I strongly encourage you all to follow JumpSuitPablo on YouTube and listen to this entire episode, where he shows multiple clips of Charleston White’s video. I will link it in the comments. And I agree, I do believe White was paid to say these things.

Peter Bogdanovich elucidates why expensive movie budgets curtail creative freedom: "Interviewer: You once said, after 'The Last Picture Show' (1971) was released, that you thought of your career in the same terms as that of the older director. You hoped that during your life you could do fifty films on a wide range of subjects. Considering the state of the business today, have you tempered that view? Bogdanovich: I’ve tempered the view perhaps in the number of films. I don’t know if I can make fifty films today, but one can try. I’ve got about six cheap little films I’d like to do in a row. That ought to keep me busy for a while. Interviewer: But the trend today is expensive films. Bogdanovich: Well, perhaps we’re coming out of that phase. At the moment, bigness is equated with quality. That’s happened before, and it’s a big danger. While I was a sort of half-assed critic, I once wrote that George Cukor had made a pretty good picture out of My Fair Lady, considering the limitations of $15 million. And, from experience, I found, when I had $6 or $9 million, as I did on the last two pictures, that I had been right. It’s a hell of a limitation. The production gets bigger and bigger, and finally you’ve got all these people on the set who don’t essentially do anything because they’re not needed. But you’re carrying them around with you everywhere you go, like a goddamned army. You can’t just say, “Oh, let’s not shoot this today. Let’s go over there,” because it’s like saying, “We’re not going to land at Normandy; we’re going to invade at the Sea of Japan.” You just can’t. Somehow the freedom goes, and at the same time, the fun goes, too. After all, it’s only fun when you feel that what you’re doing is a sort of crime, a caper. Jean Renoir once said that when you’re making a picture you should gather around you not associates but conspirators. It’s not possible to have three hundred loyal conspirators. To half of them it’s just a picture, and that’s when it starts not to be fun. That’s why I love shooting at night. It’s the best time because everybody else is asleep, and you’re really doing this wicked thing nobody knows about. You’ve got to keep that larcenous quality to your work in pictures. That’s the trouble with big pictures— there’s no larceny in them. They’re essentially respectable, and respectability is an insidious enemy." (Peter Bogdanovich, American Film Institute, 1978)

I once stood on the ground where Charlie Kirk was murdered, watching Utah Valley University (UVU) erupt into chaos over an invited political speaker. In 2004, UVU (then UVSC) invited liberal filmmaker Michael Moore to speak 2 weeks before election day. Moore had just released "Fahrenheit 9/11", a documentary which aggressively criticized incumbent President George W Bush. So you can imagine the outrage to Moore's invitation to speak in the heart of a solid red county in a solid red state. The day that Moore's appearance was announced, I grabbed my video camera and drove to UVU to document the fallout. I ended up filming, nonstop, for months. Orem, Utah - a quiet Mormon town nicknamed "Family City USA" - was ignited with rage. There were death threats, bribes, lawsuits, and furious people on both sides screaming at each other. Wealthy Mormons tried everything in their power to cancel Moore's appearance while Moore's supporters fought tooth and nail to make sure it happened. In the center of all this were the 2 UVU students who had invited Moore in the first place. They were targeted with threats and their lives became a living hell. Law enforcement suggested they wear bulletproof vests. They were also individually sued by a wealthy local conservative. Extremely stressful for 2 college kids. As I interviewed them, they laughed at the idea that their lives might in danger for inviting someone to speak at a university. It was completely foreign to them that blood would be shed or that fists (or even bullets) would fly. That seemed like utter madness, an impossibility. And it was the same for me, on the other side of the camera. The potential for violence was always in the back of my head, but not murder, not cold-blooded murder. Killing someone in the quaint town of Orem, UT simply because you disagreed with them politically? At the time, an alien invasion seemed more likely. Now, here I am 21 years later, watching an invited speaker at UVU get murdered while sharing their political beliefs. Charlie Kirk's blood spilled onto the same ground where I once stood, camera in hand, and thought, "No one's actually going to pull a trigger, are they?" Charlie's Kirk's blood spilled and I got an answer to my question. I am shocked and heartbroken. Because a vibrant life was violently snuffed out. And because I no longer recognize the place where I once stood, once spoke, once lived. My film "This Divided State" captured a microcosm of how America was at one point in time. We no longer live there.

PETER OBI MUST APOLOGISE TO AIRPORT STAFF AND PAY THE FINE FOR WRONG PARKING As the Minister of Aviation, I felt a moral duty to investigate and authenticate the claim made by opposition candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, a few days ago that the tyres of his car were ‘unjustly’ clamped at the airport, suggesting a ‘persecution agenda’ against him by the Federal Government. Politics aside, every Nigerian is entitled to fair treatment under the law. I therefore instituted an internal inquiry over the issue. Luckily enough, the entire Abuja airport is covered by CCTV cameras, real-time, 24/7. But apparently, this fact was unknown to Mr. Peter Obi. Otherwise, perhaps he would have been more circumspect before rushing to the media to cry ‘persecution’. From the recordings, these are the facts: 1. On Saturday, July 4th, 2026, Mr. Obi arrived at the domestic wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja at exactly 20:28 pm, driven by a Policeman. He alighted with two other occupants and went into the terminal building. 2. The Police driver then parked the vehicle, almost blocking the entrance and came out himself and went into the terminal building too. The airport rule is that, apart from the fact that it is a drop-off zone, a driver must remain behind the wheels of the vehicle for it to be tolerated for some time within that zone. Still the vehicle tyres were not clamped. 3. The Policeman came back to the vehicle at about 20:32pm and collected something from the vehicle and went back into the building again, leaving the vehicle unattended to. 4. At this point, the dutiful airport security staff came over and clamped the tyres of the car. In doing this, contrary to the claims by Peter Obi, nobody was inside the car and so nobody knew whether it was his car (not that it should matter, anyway). 5. When the Policeman returned again and discovered the tyres were clamped, he was directed to an office and upon getting there, he called Mr. Peter Obi on his phone and gave the phone to the manager. Mr. Peter Obi then introduced himself and spoke with the manager, peddled his ‘influence’ and requested for the release of the vehicle. His vehicle was then released without him paying the necessary fine. 6. It is important to note that the time the vehicle was parked unattended to in that prohibited zone was about 30 minutes, which constitutes a security risk at an airport by global best practices. What has emerged from this is a clear case of an opposition candidate trying to whip up unnecessary sentiments for a wrong he committed with his driver. The excuse which Mr. Peter Obi gave that there were other offenders too on that day (which is completely false) cannot be an excuse for an individual aspiring to be President of Nigeria. He must live above board. This is a matter that was not even mentioned at all by the airport authorities and had been put to rest. But ever determined to milk any situation to score cheap political points, Mr. Peter Obi decided to go on air to render a false narrative. Therefore, he must also face the consequences of his actions. (I have attached the CCTV footages to this statement for the public to clearly see what transpired.) In the circumstances, consistent with the principle of equality before the law, as Minister of Aviation, I make the following demands on Mr. Peter Obi: 1. That he tenders an unreserved, public apology to those hardworking, ordinary Nigerian workers at the airport, just doing their jobs dutifully and whom he sought to blackmail as his ‘persecutors’. 2. That Mr. Peter Obi voluntarily goes back to the airport and pay the appropriate fine of N25,000 for wrongful parking at the airport for which he used ‘influence peddling’ to bully his way out on that day. He cannot be bigger than the law. If these demands are not met within one week, I will be giving the necessary directives to the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to take the next steps against him.

🚨 INTERVIEW: MOLTBOOK, AI AGENTS, AND WHY HE THINKS WE’RE LIKELY IN A SIMULATION You’ve probably seen the clips from multiple sites, including Moltbook, where AI agents talk and interact with each other, question humans, and look for ways around the off switch. So I brought Rizwan Virk on the show to talk about where this is actually heading. What we have right now isn’t AGI, but it is a shift. These AI agents can talk, remember context, and increasingly act. Today that mostly means text. Soon it means APIs, money, paperwork, and real-world consequences. That’s when things quietly change. At that point, the question isn’t whether AI understands what it’s doing, it’s what it’s allowed to do. And those permissions add up faster than people expect. After that we went deeper into Simulation theory. Back in 2016, Rizwan thought there was maybe a 30–50% chance we’re living in a simulation. Today, watching how fast AI can generate worlds, characters, and environments, he puts it closer to 70%. If we hit true AGI, he thinks it goes higher. The logic is uncomfortable but straightforward. Once advanced civilizations can create millions of realistic simulated worlds, statistically speaking, it’s more likely we’re inside one of them than in the base reality. His biggest concern isn’t rogue AI. It’s humans pushing this tech faster than we can control it.

🚨 INTERVIEW: MOLTBOOK, AI AGENTS, AND WHY HE THINKS WE’RE LIKELY IN A SIMULATION You’ve probably seen the clips from multiple sites, including Moltbook, where AI agents talk and interact with each other, question humans, and look for ways around the off switch. So I brought Rizwan Virk on the show to talk about where this is actually heading. What we have right now isn’t AGI, but it is a shift. These AI agents can talk, remember context, and increasingly act. Today that mostly means text. Soon it means APIs, money, paperwork, and real-world consequences. That’s when things quietly change. At that point, the question isn’t whether AI understands what it’s doing, it’s what it’s allowed to do. And those permissions add up faster than people expect. After that we went deeper into Simulation theory. Back in 2016, Rizwan thought there was maybe a 30–50% chance we’re living in a simulation. Today, watching how fast AI can generate worlds, characters, and environments, he puts it closer to 70%. If we hit true AGI, he thinks it goes higher. The logic is uncomfortable but straightforward.
