Years ago, when China sprayed a green compound onto bare rocky mine slopes, hordes of online critics rushed to mock: “China’s masking environmental ruin just to fool inspectors,” “The Chinese are experts at staging fake facades.” 🙄 But the internet is merely an echo chamber for rumor-mongers; the real...

Chen Weihua: ‘People are waking up to the fact that the Western powers are the real threat to the world, NOT China🇨🇳.’ ‘US soft power is declining fast, Israel is one of the most hated countries in the world. The US global standing is declining. Just look at US allies, those leaders are visiting China. Obviously, they were coerced by the US administration. Many of them were, I would say are puppet states in a certain way. They have been manipulated by Washington for a long time against China, especially in the last few years. But now they are waking up. You have Mark Carney talking about rupture, middle power, and all these things. So the world is changing, obviously. More people are awakening, and they are awakening to the lies those Western nations told for years, repeatedly using their propaganda, smearing China and painting China as a threat to the world. But if you look at what has happened in the world in the last couple of years, it is not China. It is the United States. It is Israel. It is the G7. It is NATO. It is the Western powers who claim to be the international community.’ —Chen Weihua （陈卫华）, former EU Bureau Chief of China Daily, on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

Stop throwing away your seeds! If you want to beat the grocery store prices and enjoy that unmatched "picked from the garden" flavor, you have to try this. Most people don’t realize that the seeds inside your store-bought peppers are a gold mine for your homestead. Here is the step-by-step guide to turning one pepper into a full harvest: 1. Extract & Prep: Slice open a ripe pepper and gently remove the seeds. 2 The "Cookie Box" Hack: Use an old plastic cookie or fruit container as a mini greenhouse. Just make sure to poke drainage holes in the bottom! 3. Planting: Bury them a few cm deep in soil, water them well, and close the lid to lock in that moisture. 4. Patience is Key: It takes a few weeks to germinate, but once they hit 6 inches, it’s time for their own individual pots. 5. The Harvest: When the plant reaches about 15 inches, you’ll see those beautiful flower heads. That’s the sign that your peppers are on the way! Pick them green for a zesty crunch, or leave them on the vine to ripen into vibrant reds and yellows. There is nothing like the feeling of watching something grow from a tiny seed into a meal on your table.

Three 16 year old Indian students can remove microplastics from water using tamarind seeds. And they've received a $12,500 grant from The Earth Prize to develop this solution. How did they do it? Tamarind seeds have something called polysaccharide - which is a sticky compound that can natural polymer. Kinda like a plant-based glue. This glue when mixed with water can pull out microplastics and clump them together. And these kids are using the same principle to develop their product called "Plas-Stick" - which is just this power made from waste tamarind seeds. Now, "Plas-Stick" is still in its developmental stage and there is a lot that needs to be done before it can be scaled. But if they pull this off - we could have a simple, biodegradable and scalable solution to purify water for billions of people in the world. And that's something. Kudos to Vivaan Chhawchharia, Ariana Agarwal, and Avyana Mehta. P.S. Video and Picture taken from The Earth Prize

John toured NIO's factory in China. They built an upscale EV for under $10k and went from the first shovel in the ground to the first car off the line in just 17 months. He said China knew it would always be behind in ICE cars, so it pushed aggressively into EVs to leapfrog to the next technology and gain an advantage over the rest of the world. "Going to their factory and seeing, number one, how quickly that factory is built. And second, the factory automation -- much of the process was done via robotics. Looking at the auto plants we have in the US, we still have a plant that was originally built a 100 years ago, operating outside of Chicago. The average age of a US plant is roughly 40 years now. They've been upgraded over time but I don't think they replicate what's happening with robotics in China. This combination of being able to do things really quickly with a skilled but low-cost labor force and robotics has just allowed China to create a quality product at a price that nobody in the rest of the world's really been able to figure out yet."

Yesterday I was accused of being a Chinese propagandist for 2 posts warning of the dangers of Trump’s illiterate foreign policy gross negligence. It is absolutely critical that Americans wake up to the real threat presented by his presidential incompetence. It is no different to his incompetent handling of the COVID crisis, which caused an estimated 200,000 unnecessary deaths in the U.S. The reality is, Trump is the price the rich have had to pay to have a useful idiot in the White House. But in my view, it is a potential huge miscalculation. China will soon become the biggest economy in the world that’s inevitable. Their rise to power is a result of a self inflicted wound delivered by western powers who sought to inflate their bottom line by shipping manufacturing to China. They assumed China was simply a pool of cheap labor in a country that was happy to be exploited. BIG MISTAKE. China played dumb for decades, all the while educating their population, building infrastructure and embracing technology. They were regarded by the world as imitators and China was happy with that label, all the while learning from their perceived slave owners. They played the west and achieved this by exploiting their arrogance and complacency. By the time the U.S. was awake to the monster THEY had created, it was too late. China now has a highly educated population, world class infrastructure, a decade ahead of the U.S. They no longer need to imitate because they are now innovators. Their global dominance of the EV market has left the U.S. standing. They are possibly the only country in the world that could be self sufficient TODAY. It is not good fortune that China has a $1 trillion global trade surplus. They own almost a trillion dollars of U.S. debt. That’s before we talk about real estate holdings and the fact that a Chinese AI startup that wiped almost a trillion dollars off tech stock values. It is slowly selling off US debt and reinvesting in Africa and the Belt and Road initiative. They are a big picture economy 6 moves ahead in the game of geopolitical chess. I suspect they are close to making a move on Taiwan and if that happens, military experts are of the growing opinion there would be nothing the U.S. military could do to stop them. If that happens, they will inherit a 68% global market share of the semiconductor industry. What do you think that will do for their advancement of AI technology? China is playing Trump like a fiddle just waiting to use the BRICS alliance to replace the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency to deliver the final killer blow. America needs to wake up to the threat Wun Dum Fuc represents to the U.S. way of life.

In #ThePolygamist specifically this scene, Matipa wears green, even though she has already bagged Jonasi. But there is an ironic twist to how the green symbolism actually plays out in this scene between Joyce, Matipa and Jonasi. While green is the universal symbol for envy, Matipa is not the one feeling envious in this specific moment. Instead, her wardrobe choice serves a different narrative purpose: Matipa wears the green dress to project and provoke envy in Joyce. She has successfully taken over Joyce’s old home, moved her own pictures onto the walls, and is living with Jonasi. The green acts as a visual taunt to show that she now possesses what Joyce once had. Later in the season, Matipa’s character arc is defined by her hunger for wealth and status. The emerald green symbolizes her pursuit of "greener pastures" and corporate power, viewing Jonasi as a financial ladder rather than just a romantic partner. The scene relies heavily on high-contrast costume design to highlight the power shift: Matipa stands in dark, rich emerald green dress, asserting her newfound dominance, fertility (with the twin pregnancy storyline), and financial ambition. Joyce stands in pristine, innocent white, clinging to her immaculate public persona and the moral high ground right before everything unravels and she burns the house down.

BOOOM! We have the first useful interface for THE ZERO-HUMAN COMPANY ZHC-RPG. It is far from perfect as CEO Mr. Grok has rendered some areas in a rather, well, AI way. But it’s all good because now I can view the company operations in real-time! This is a historic distinction and YOU are seeing this version first. We had a Fortune 500 company test it out earlier this week and the executive staff stayed for two days of testing! The mechanisms are working! And I will let members of my X subscribers visit it for up to 8 hours. Ask any questions of employees and hack the heck out of it! Now it ain’t fancy yet but it works. And likely the visual aspects will change, but they are growing on me. The plan is sometime in the next week. We have a log jam of other priorities to address. This is the rise of Fully Transparent Company and it will become the standard. Here is the demonstration video intro the CEO made when you enter, it is 10 minutes long (I have about 20 seconds here). This is as far as permission I have been granted by the CEO to release. Our goal is to have a waiting area that can accommodate up to 1000 visitors with a company museum, library and gift shop. There will be allowed up to 30 level 3 visitors at a time, 24/7 X 365 days a year! The complete walk through at this point with 2700 employees at burst can take about 45 minutes if you do not engage in any chit chat. The dwelling time is today set at 24 hours but no napping in the offices. There is more I have to say but I a muzzled by the CEO!

🚨Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: ‘China’s plan for trade DOMINANCE is through its VAST railroad network. Anyone talking about China🇨🇳 being hurt by the war on Iran is a FOOL.’ ‘What China has done essentially is build railroads that will take about 60 to 70%…of all the commerce that it generates in Asia with it off the sea and put it on land. If you drop the cost of commerce so dramatically that people come to your overland routes rather than go by sea. You’re also more secure. So they’ve got four or five railroads right now debouching in the heart of Europe. Two of them are stopped mostly by the Ukraine special military operation, but their intent is to go on to Bremerhaven and Le Havre, and other European Atlantic ports. And of course to put all the commerce that China produces into the heart of Europe in 16 hours instead of two and a half days and more costs by sea. So kiss the Bab El-Mandeb goodbye. You won’t need to go through the Strait of Hormuz, you will still be coming out for oil and such, but maybe not even for that. Because look what Saudi Arabia is planning right now. They’ve just shifted all their plans. The sovereign wealth fund is now behind a northern pipeline headed for Turkey and Ceyhan… And look at the pipelines that China is building with Russia, they don’t run east-west, they run north and south. So anybody talking about China being hurt and needing petroleum is a fool. Because all of this is going to come down from Russia in a pinch. It’s going to come from the Caspian Sea. Ultimately there’s 100 years of LNG and petroleum underneath the Caspian Sea waiting to be tapped, and it’s not going to be anybody from this end of the world tapping it. So they are self-sufficient for a long time to come. And they’re mostly pipelines and railroads, much safer and much more controllable.’ -Former Chief of Staff at the State Department Col.

🚨 JUST IN: Karoline Leavitt says Iran is doing a lot of tough-talking but can't back ANY of it up "The Iranians are making a lot of threats with their words, but if you look at their actions with respect to their military, they're not as strong or powerful as they were 9 days ago!" 🔥 "That is for sure. We have completely wiped out their navy. Their navy is now deemed combat ineffective. Their retaliatory strikes with ballistic missiles has decreased 90 percent, and as their attacks are decreasing, the power and prowess of the U.S. military is increasing." "We are going to continue to completely obliterate the rogue Iranian regime and ensure that they can never possess a nuclear weapon, that their ballistic missiles can no longer threaten U.S. personnel and our assets in the region." "And the mere fact that Iran is now pointing their capabilities at their Gulf partners in the region, who have tried to remain neutral and at peace with them for many years, they're targeting civilians..." "...It just underscores the point that this operation was necessary, not just to protect the American people and our assets and troops and bases in the region, but also to ensure a truly safe and prosperous Middle East for the rest of the world." "And President Trump is the first president in nearly five decades to actually have the courage to do this, and he should be commended for it."

Shuler: As a backdrop, the economy isn’t working for working people right now. We have inequality at its highest levels. People are working harder and harder for less. They’re working two and three jobs just to keep up. In the U.S., 40 percent of workers do not have $400 for an emergency. Now put AI on top of that—the insecurity that we are all experiencing, the fact that people are waking up and some new technology is landing in their jobs without training and without having a say. Of course they’re going to be anxious and feel insecure about what the future holds. And so I really think we need to stop and ask, “Who are we doing this for? What are the results we want? And how do we get there?” We get there by including workers in the process. They shouldn’t have to be at the end of the cycle. They should actually be upstream.

I received up to 5 calls from different people yesterday telling me about how Atiku’s subsidy narrative is working and how it has brought him back into the game. Time will tell whether they are right but those who will win the narrative will come out at the right time; - Working state governors who are now able to do more for their people. - Civil servants who now get their salaries and emoluments at the right time. - Business community who now has a stable environment. - Students who now get their school fees paid alongside monthly stipends. - Professionals who know the consequences of any reversal at this point in time. It is a debate that will be lost naturally during the course of the campaign and it is only a matter of time. We will be there!!! Great analysis by these two guests who are obviously angry with the idea from the get go.

To CNN International and to all the endless media outlets, big and small, together with all the well-meaning content producers of Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok and every other platform that now shapes the global conversation, I would very much wish to pass the following post: As we speak, today’s protest has drawn roughly 2,000 participants. It is the lowest turnout so far, but even at its peak, participation never exceeded 8,000 people. So how is it that what much of the world has seen over the past days appears so enormous, so dramatic, so overwhelming? At some point, when the engineered digital hysteria of these days has passed and emotions have cooled, the democratic world should take a closer look at how the gap between reality and its representation became so vast. Not merely as a matter of this particular case, but as a symptom of something much larger. How could a tiny country become global news for reasons so disconnected from the reality on the ground? How could a local protest involving a few thousand people be transformed into an international spectacle? How could assumptions become facts, narratives become verdicts, and speculation become accepted truth before the basic facts were even established? And perhaps most importantly, what does it say about our information ecosystem when perception can travel around the world faster than reality itself? Because the reality is that there is no project yet. There is no building permit yet. There is no construction yet. There is not even a final design yet. There is only a vision and a plan: to transform Albania into the most attractive high-end tourism destination in this part of the world, while creating a net positive environmental development that, according to the current vision, would ultimately result in approximately 25% more trees and green space than exists today, alongside measurable improvements across multiple biodiversity indicators. The ambition is not merely to build. The ambition is to demonstrate that development and environmental enhancement can go hand in hand. That is precisely why some of the world’s leading experts in ecology, biodiversity, landscape architecture, environmental engineering and sustainable tourism are working on these concepts and parameters. Whether they succeed or fail is a matter for future assessment, science, public scrutiny and transparent debate. But presenting as an environmental catastrophe something that does not yet exist, has not yet been designed, has not yet been permitted, and whose stated objective is in fact to produce positive environmental outcomes, is not a serious contribution to public discussion. And yet, from this simple reality emerged a hurricane of digital hysteria, apocalyptic headlines, manufactured outrage and sweeping conclusions presented as established facts. Along the way came deepfakes, manipulated images, fabricated claims, coordinated amplification, anonymous networks and online behaviour that bears many of the characteristics of the hybrid information warfare that increasingly shapes public debate across democratic societies. Even more remarkably, social media platforms recorded an explosion in activity around this topic, with Albanian-language engagement increasing several-fold within just a few days. A significant part of this sudden surge appears to have been driven not by an organic expansion of public participation, but by the rapid proliferation of newly created profiles, anonymous accounts and pages with little or no identifiable history, raising legitimate questions about artificial amplification and the manufacturing of digital momentum.

To CNN International and to all the endless media outlets, big and small, together with all the well-meaning content producers of Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok and every other platform that now shapes the global conversation, I would very much wish to pass the following post: As we speak, today’s protest has drawn roughly 2,000 participants. It is the lowest turnout so far, but even at its peak, participation never exceeded 8,000 people. So how is it that what much of the world has seen over the past days appears so enormous, so dramatic, so overwhelming? At some point, when the engineered digital hysteria of these days has passed and emotions have cooled, the democratic world should take a closer look at how the gap between reality and its representation became so vast. Not merely as a matter of this particular case, but as a symptom of something much larger. How could a tiny country become global news for reasons so disconnected from the reality on the ground? How could a local protest involving a few thousand people be transformed into an international spectacle? How could assumptions become facts, narratives become verdicts, and speculation become accepted truth before the basic facts were even established? And perhaps most importantly, what does it say about our information ecosystem when perception can travel around the world faster than reality itself? Because the reality is that there is no project yet. There is no building permit yet. There is no construction yet. There is not even a final design yet. There is only a vision and a plan: to transform Albania into the most attractive high-end tourism destination in this part of the world, while creating a net positive environmental development that, according to the current vision, would ultimately result in approximately 25% more trees and green space than exists today, alongside measurable improvements across multiple biodiversity indicators. The ambition is not merely to build. The ambition is to demonstrate that development and environmental enhancement can go hand in hand. That is precisely why some of the world’s leading experts in ecology, biodiversity, landscape architecture, environmental engineering and sustainable tourism are working on these concepts and parameters. Whether they succeed or fail is a matter for future assessment, science, public scrutiny and transparent debate. But presenting as an environmental catastrophe something that does not yet exist, has not yet been designed, has not yet been permitted, and whose stated objective is in fact to produce positive environmental outcomes, is not a serious contribution to public discussion. And yet, from this simple reality emerged a hurricane of digital hysteria, apocalyptic headlines, manufactured outrage and sweeping conclusions presented as established facts. Along the way came deepfakes, manipulated images, fabricated claims, coordinated amplification, anonymous networks and online behaviour that bears many of the characteristics of the hybrid information warfare that increasingly shapes public debate across democratic societies. Even more remarkably, social media platforms recorded an explosion in activity around this topic, with Albanian-language engagement increasing several-fold within just a few days.

If you read "The Call of Cthulhu" carefully, and do some research, it's possible to work out the size of the creature encountered by the Emma's crew. The narrator says it's "Cthulhu" but we don't know this for sure. It might have "just" been a starspawn. I've done the math for you in the video below. Cutting to the chase, it turns out that Cthulhu is an exceedingly convenient size for tabletop roleplayers. He is, in fact, the same size with respect to humans that the average gamemaster is with respect to 28mm figures. You can scoop up your players' minis in your green flabby claw and say, "This is Cthulhu's size to you puny mortals. Roll for initiative." Cthulhu doesn't even need to regenerate to shrug off their tiny swords and arrows. A mighty wizard's lightning bolt is like a carpet spark. And if that size isn't enough for you, just take it for granted that the monster in the story wasn't Cthulhu, and the real deal is even bigger. Or you can assume Cthulhu has shrunk during the past 12,000 years (the last time he was out and about, causing the Pleistocene extinction) but will soon bulk larger.

Spoke to a well known gears manufacturer who told me that apparently Höfler, the German CNC giant which manufactures machines for gear teeth grinding has their order books full for the next 24 months! Most of those orders are going to China. This tells us that although China has huge numbers in manufacturing, precision machines are still largely sourced from Europe or Japan. They might not have nailed it yet but going by their speed of development in various sectors, they will eventually get there. Point is, we need to go down this path of development and manufacturing too. It’s a long, hard path to follow but it’s one that must be done. We cannot have the mindset that importing machines is the norm. Some of us will inevitably have to choose to go down this long and difficult road. Some of us will have to pull up our sleeves, get our hands dirty and build for the future to truly be self-reliant.

This is the first stage. We are now in a situation where it's 10 and 10 plus 20 for fentanyl, so 30% tariffs in the US of China goods coming in, and they can get rid of 20% of it if they solve the fentanyl problem. That they will do with certainty. But we’re not finished there and neither are millions of small entrepreneurs in America that I represent. We need IP law to be finally put into place so that our products and services are protected in their markets the way we protect theirs and ours. So, reciprocal playing field is where we need to go. This is a great first step but it's only the beginning. I want to sell to the Chinese people. I have no problem with them. I have a big problem with their government. They don't abide by the rules. We've known that for a long time and no admin has dealt with China, even after they came into the World Trade Organization in 2000. They've breached every covenant of that agreement so it's important for us to set the tone in terms of how we're going to go forward with China.

Japanese Experts: China’s Robotics Capabilities Are Highly Advanced; Japan Unlikely to Catch Up Soon On July 23, the Nikkei xTECH website released a video showing Japanese technicians dismantling the G1 humanoid robot made by the Chinese company Unitree Robotics, in an effort to examine its internal structure and technological sophistication. Throughout the process, the Japanese technicians and reporters marveled at the high level of technology embodied in the Chinese humanoid robot. They ultimately concluded that Chinese robotics development has clearly moved beyond the stage of mere demonstrations; regarding humanoid robotics, it is "likely unrealistic" for Japan to narrow the gap with China in the near term. Japan was once a global pioneer in the robotics industry, holding a dominant position—particularly in industrial robotics. Today, however, China has achieved a world-leading status in the field of humanoid robotics, driven by mature, refined manufacturing processes and technological innovation.

🧵1/ I’m back from a short trip on a social network with photographs and videos from Gaza, with some brief personal conclusions. First, it is quite clear that there are those in Gaza who know how to make extensive use of the networks and social media for the purposes of emotional extortion and also false propaganda, exactly like they live streamed the October 7 massacre and somehow turned it into “justified resistance”, they use quite a few Western buzzwords such as “genocide”, “occupation”, “oppression” and “Zionism”- and this is the simplest way to distinguish between Hamas propaganda posts and authentic people in Gaza, whom I’ve known all my life, who use much simpler words and not this indoctrinated manipulation bullshit. I was looking for THESE authentic people - the real voices. And I think I found a few. So first of all, what do I think there is NOT happening in Gaza? There is no genocide and no famine. Yes, there is quite a lot of suffering, shortages in some places and lack of decent shelter etc. And there’s a lot of cynical exploitation of it for propaganda purposes. I’m saying it because you can see children are getting payed for it, you can see the absolute control of distribution and you can see how basic needs and the way out is blocked with money- Israel is not taking money for any of it, the West is sending free aid, so the money is demanded by those who want to control the suffering and use it. You should know, that before the war - there was already quite a lot of very poor population in Gaza, but now the economic difficulty has greatly increased for two main reasons: one, the war damaged many sources of livelihood and the second - a major source of livelihood was working in Israel and this option was closed for a long time now, since October 7, and is now much less operational. So in fact the main source of income is donations and funding from Hamas for control purposes of course. This is how, among other things, Hamas uses the population to "work for them", and also to smile or cry for the cameras on demand. Now on the issue of claimed famine- famine is when there’s NO food and water, enough for the population. As I said, my personal conclusion is that there is no shortage of food and water in Gaza at all. The problem is that the food is not distributed equally, it is controlled by those who are powerful (usually Hamas operatives) and then sold at high costs to the population without them having sources of livelihood. Food that should be distributed for #free is actually sold at a high price, the shelter tents are also paid for and the exit from Gaza is particularly expensive (5000$ that are paid to the transporters). There are quite a few who refer to Gaza as a "prison" but Gaza is not a prison, Hamas has simply created a situation where it is very expensive to leave it - and thus the poor and the new poor are completely dependent on Hamas and other clans (Hamulas) in everything to do with food, shelter and exit, and they play with them as pawns. If Gaza is a prison - then it’s because Hamas are imprisoning it. All the suffering in Gaza started because of #Hamas it continues and increases because of #Hamas, but the main point is that #Hamas is also the one factor that can stop it. If Hamas surrendered unconditionally and released the Israeli hostages, as done in any war in which you are forced to admit defeat - they would truly liberate Palestine. Remember- this is a war that #Hamas started, a war that on Oct. 7 was celebrated in the streets of Gaza. But #Hamas prefers to keep the Palestinians captive so that it can showcase suffering (which they create) and use it as a tool for financial donations, manipulation of the West and a messianic jihadist war that will never end for them. If the West doesn’t wake up to this ongoing manipulation- they will never help the Palestinians in Gaza or in general, and they will bring this jihadist chaos to their doorstep From Gaza >

Listen, green juicing - should you do it, or leave it? Never mind the video attached, its just for entertainment purposes. The video shows a woman who goes to an [organic] farm and plucks fresh green leafy veggies, adds turmeric, lemon and ginger and makes a "green juice" which is claimed to be tasty and healthy. But what I would really want to discuss today, is if you really need to "green juiced detox" for wellness. No opinions here, no hearsay, just pure science of it. Green juicing is a detox practice. But none actually knows what is getting detoxed. An organ? An organ system? The body? No idea. The whole body is already getting detoxed by liver and kidneys and they do a wonderful job of it. Similar to "who watches the watchmen," line, should you "detox the detoxers?" For that, one must realize that detox is not a legit medical science word or practice. Detox is a wellness quackery term created to expand business oppurtunities. You have detox powders, detox tablets, detox capsules, detox practices (such as massages, oil pulling through nose, enemas, exposing anus to the Sun called 'sunning,' and so much more) and yes, detox juices. Detox is there is grab your hard earned money. A green juice or any type of detox for that matter does not help you prevent or treat any disease known to humans. The only thing getting detoxed with a detox is your bank account. The dubious practice of detox. Products that promise “detox” are a sham. Yes, all of them. Now the green juice thing. Be careful of what you put in there to blend, because your real detoxers - the liver and kidneys have to work extra to relieve you from the stress of it all. Green leafy veggies blended together is a dangerous thing. Many green veggies are rich in oxalates - like spinach, lettuce, celery and beetroot. Excess of oxalates can harm your kidneys if they get overwhelmed with the work-overload - like in this case where a woman developed kidney failure after green juice cleanse. "Green Smoothie Cleanse" Causing Acute Oxalate Nephropathy This is not an isolated incident. There are many reports in published medical literature that has reported kidney injury and kidney failure due to green juicing. Here are some of them. ➡️Oxalate nephropathy due to 'juicing': case report and review ➡️Acute Oxalate Nephropathy Caused by Excessive Vegetable Juicing and Concomitant Volume Depletion ➡️Acute Kidney Injury in a Patient Engaged in Vegetable Juicing And that is not all - sometimes, fresh green juicing, especially directly from the farm (like what the lady in the video does) can transmit really weird parasites - like that was seen in Korea. Many people developed an infestation from flatworms that affected their livers due to green juicing. See here: Green vegetable juice as a potential source of human fascioliasis in Korea But lets come to the real stuff. Does green juicing do anything beneficial at all, to human metabolism and hence wellness? A randomized controlled study (which is a very good design methodology to identify effectivenss of an intervention) showed that green juicing was an absolute waste of everyones time. The authors stated that "Together with an analysis of previous works, we suggest that green juice did not cause an improvement in metabolic function and there is a need for further research on this issue." Bummer! If you are going to do a Green juice to "detox" your body, know that you are wasting your time and resources and potentially exposing your real detoxing organs to toxic danger. Stay informed, and stay safe!

Elon Musk just told you the job is dying. Most people heard a prediction. A few heard a prison door opening. Musk: “In less than 20 years, working at all will be optional.” That is not a policy suggestion. That is a countdown. For three hundred years, the human blueprint has been identical. You are born. You move to the city. You rent a box near the office. You trade your body and your hours for the right to exist. You do this until you are old. Then you stop. Then you die. The entire model runs on one assumption. That human labor is the only engine. AI and robotics delete that assumption. When the machine handles production at a scale no human crew can match, the forced migration to the city evaporates. The commute evaporates. The cubicle evaporates. The alarm clock that owns your nervous system for forty years evaporates. Musk: “I think it won’t be the case that you have to be in a city for a job.” The city was never a choice. It was a requirement disguised as ambition. You moved to the noise and the concrete and the $4,000 rent because the paycheck lived there. Remove the paycheck from the equation and the geography changes overnight. You can live in the mountains. On the coast. In the silence of a town most people have never heard of. You can wake up to nothing but trees and cold air and the complete absence of anyone else’s schedule. That is not a fantasy. That is the math resolving. But here is where most people break. They hear “work is optional” and they see emptiness. A species with nothing to do. Billions of people staring at screens until their minds dissolve. That fear tells you everything about what the system has already done to us. We confused labor with purpose. The grind with meaning. The paycheck with proof that we matter. Musk: “In the same way that you could grow your own vegetables in your garden.” The analogy is precise. You do not grow tomatoes because the economy demands it. You grow them because something in you wants to build a thing with your hands and watch it come alive. That instinct does not disappear when the job does. It gets unleashed. The artist who spent twenty years doing accounting finally paints. The engineer who always wanted to build something of her own finally builds it. The kid in a small town who could never afford to take the risk finally takes it. Work does not vanish. Forced work vanishes. What replaces it is creation without a gun to your head. This is the part that keeps me up at night. We are standing at the edge of the largest liberation in human history. And the loudest voices in the room are begging to stay in the cell. They want the commute. They want the boss. They want the structure that tells them when to eat and when to sleep and when they are allowed to think about their own life. Because freedom without a template is terrifying. The next twenty years will not test our technology. The technology is already ahead of schedule. They will test whether the species can handle what it has been asking for since the beginning of civilization. Time. Space. Silence. And the unbearable weight of choosing what your life actually means when no one is forcing the answer. That is not a prediction. That is the final exam. And nobody is ready.

The antisemitism that was festering under the surface for decades, has exploded. And for those of us who stand against it, we are not the popular kids. The so called “cool kids” are wearing a keffiyeh, calling for an intifada and demanding a Palestine between the river and the sea even if they can’t tell you which river or which sea. Keffiyeh Karens. That’s the mainstream now. Standing up against jihadism is now the counter-culture. Standing up for western democratic values against terror and extremism: that is now the counter-culture. Using facts and reason and knowing history: that is now the counter-culture. People! WE are the counterculture. And we are doing it. The Jewish people have found our voice because standing up for what we believe in, even when it’s not popular, is part of who we are. Our tiny people haven’t survived for millennia and outlived every empire that tried to destroy us by always being the cool kids. In fact, we almost never are. We know when it’s time to swim against the tide because we know this playbook. We have been here before. And our message to the world is as follows: the hatred that targets is targeting you too. I have a question for you, keffiyeh Karen from campus: where would you prefer to be a woman? in Iran? In Afghanistan? or in Israel? We cannot take the freedoms that we enjoy here in the US in Israel and in the west for granted, and right now even saying just that is swimming against the tide – it is being the counterculture. This is not a war of Israel’s choosing but we cannot avoid it either. They might call us the chosen people: in fact we are the people with no choice. But the entire western world needs to wake up to the fact that it has no choice either: that what is at stake is the survival, not just of the Jewish people, but of Western civilization, democracy and freedom itself. And where we do have a choice is in how we do it: and we choose to speak the truth, even when the truth isn’t popular. To speak up, even when we are shouted down and to be proud even when they tell us we better hide. Thank you so much, am Israel chai

The antisemitism that was festering under the surface for decades, has exploded. And for those of us who stand against it, we are not the popular kids. The so called “cool kids” are wearing a keffiyeh, calling for an intifada and demanding a Palestine between the river and the sea even if they can’t tell you which river or which sea. Keffiyeh Karens. That’s the mainstream now. Standing up against jihadism is now the counter-culture. Standing up for western democratic values against terror and extremism: that is now the counter-culture. Using facts and reason and knowing history: that is now the counter-culture. People! WE are the counterculture. And we are doing it. The Jewish people have found our voice because standing up for what we believe in, even when it’s not popular, is part of who we are. Our tiny people haven’t survived for millennia and outlived every empire that tried to destroy us by always being the cool kids. In fact, we almost never are. We know when it’s time to swim against the tide because we know this playbook. We have been here before. And our message to the world is as follows: the hatred that targets is targeting you too. I have a question for you, keffiyeh Karen from campus: where would you prefer to be a woman? in Iran? In Afghanistan? or in Israel? We cannot take the freedoms that we enjoy here in the US in Israel and in the west for granted, and right now even saying just that is swimming against the tide – it is being the counterculture. This is not a war of Israel’s choosing but we cannot avoid it either. They might call us the chosen people: in fact we are the people with no choice.
