Yesterday I did a spectacular Manhattan loop. About 33k steps and roughly 12 - 14 miles. Started at Penn Station and headed down Sixth Avenue through Madison Square Park, Union Square, Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village, Bleecker Street, SoHo, Tribeca, the Financial District, and all the way to Battery...

Chris Williamson explained to Joe Rogan what he calls "The Lonely Chapter." "The Rocky montage was 3.5 minutes. For me it's been 5 years." "Everybody that has gotten from a place where they don't want to be to one where they are... there's a point where they're so different that they can't resonate with their old set of friends. But they're not yet sufficiently developed that they've created their new set of friends." The temptation: "There's this temptation to go back to the old patterns. The old ways of thinking." On why most people don't change: "How many people do you know that have lost 50 pounds? Or moved to a different country? Or have genuinely changed the way that they see the world? It's pretty rare. It's not that common." He continues: "We are such mimetic creatures. We're so shaped by the people around us that we can't help but be tempted. If you want to go from where you are to where you want to be... you're going to have to do something that makes you more different. More weird. More easy to be mocked." On the difference between movies and real life: "You look at it and you go... the Rocky montage was 3.5 minutes. For me it's been 5 years. Where's the championship ring? I haven't won the fight. Where's Apollo Creed? None of this stuff has happened." He explains: "In the movies, sure there's ups and downs. But the athlete's self-belief never wavers. He makes the decision and it's one straight shot. I don't think that's what the experience of personal growth is like at all." The reality: "In my experience... you're just swimming in uncertainty and fear and a lack of belief that it's even going to happen. You don't know if there's glory on the other side. I don't even know if this is going to be it. And I'm doing Sam Harris's meditation app. I'm journaling in the morning. I'm going to the gym. Does this even work? You're doing all this stuff... scrabbling like a guy in a well trying to find a handhold. And if you don't have a good community of people also doing that... you're on your own." On the rocket ship: "I think about personal growth kind of like a rocket ship taking off. As you take off, you've got a particular velocity. What you want is to find other people moving at the same velocity as you. But the quicker that you move... the fewer people are going to be like you." On having to do it again: "One of the difficult realizations for people who want to change their life... if you do it well, you might have to go through a period where you let go of all of your friends." The worse realization: "If you do it really well... you might have to do that multiple times throughout your life. You find a group of people. Finally. After that period where you were on your own. And then... oh shit, I'm still going. I've outgrown them. I've got to do it again? I just thought I'd found my group. And I've got to do it again." On why few people make big changes: "This lonely chapter thing is a big deal. I think it explains why so few people make big changes. The temptation is always going to be to just go back to what's normal. Go back to what I know." The value exchange: "When you get to the stage where you're faced with some personal growth decision... you're always going to have to make this value exchange: Do I want to move forward on my own? Or do I want to go back with my friends?"

This is the harrowing reality of what detransitioners face, says Chloe Cole ⭐️: “The moment that I detransitioned, I was human garbage to them. I was subhuman even. … They told me: ‘This is all your fault. Don't put this on us. You were the one who said yes, you were the one who wanted this. You were a complete idiot for not knowing that you weren't truly transgender. So don't come crying to us. And you should shut up about this because you might scare somebody out of getting the care that they really need. And you are a waste of resources. You are a waste of the love and support of your family. You didn't deserve the support of your doctors. You didn't deserve any of this. So stay quiet and stop being a problem.’ …There were people who were trying to compel me to retransition, people who were trying to tell me to kill myself, even just for the fact that I was going against the dogma. And I stayed low for a little bit. I apologized to the same people who were abusing me because I was a freshly traumatized 16 year old girl. I had been bullied in school before, but nobody had ever treated me this horribly over such a painful part of my life. But after a while of being painfully isolated. I started to really think the way that they are treating me is not deserved. I'm speaking to nothing but my experience, to the way that I feel and to reality. I'm going to speak up, regardless of whether they want me to or not. And I just knew that there had to be other detransitioners out there. And very quickly, I learned that they were in the thousands. And I'm sure that it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled over the years, the amount of us who are out there. We are never going to know the real numbers. …And some of the harassment, the hatred I faced over the years has gotten worse. I've been doxxed. I have had people assaulting me, chasing after me in government buildings, who have tried to hurt me, who have wished death upon me.”

Former U.K. Parliament Member Andrew Bridgen on the people running the world: "I think they're Luciferians" "I think it's some sort of child sacrifice cult" "They're godless people" "[With] the [Covid] vaccines... they were quite happy for the children to be harmed" This clip of Bridgen (Andrew Bridgen) is taken from an interview posted to the LIGHTHOUSETV (LightHouseTV) YouTube channel posted on April 9, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "All my colleagues in the House of Commons, lots of them knew that the vaccines, even in 2022, were very harmful. A lot of them had been harmed themselves, but wouldn't— wouldn't go public. And they were quite happy for the children to be harmed. "But I did stand up and with those speeches, I stopped my government from authorizing those vaccines for children under five. And that was the end of my career. You know, they said that's be the end of your career if you do that. "But, you know, it wasn't for nothing, was it? Yeah? You know, I had a chance and I knew I could do it to protect those children. And what's the difference between that and seeing them traffic for the sex trade to pedophiles? I mean, I didn't have a very good, I didn't have a happy childhood myself. "And one thing that really upsets me is if people are harming children. I don't like— I really react very badly to it, because, and— Is it Satanic? I believe it is. And I think the people who are running this and many other things they're perpetrating against the people of the world. I think they're Luciferians. I think it's some sort of child sacrifice cult. I've looked them in the eyes. I mean, they are soulless people. "And why do they do it? You can look, I mean, you see a young child, they're the nearest thing to God we've got on this planet. You know, they're so innocent, they're in God's image and the younger they are, the more innocent they are. And it's the biggest affront to God that these people can do. And that's why they do it. "That's what I honestly believe is the biggest harming children is the biggest affront to God. And that's why they do it. They're godless people."

Alex Proyas on the Commercial failure of 'Dark City' (1998) & its similarities with 'The Matrix' (1999): "Interviewer: Are you surprised by how big a cult film it has become? Proyas: I was surprised it didn't achieve commercial success initially, but I'm happy it has had this long-lasting life after the fact. I was pretty disappointed the studio hadn't really managed to sell the movie in the way that they could have. I don't think they really knew what to make of it quite frankly. The studio put out a trailer that was quite clever. It was completely non-narrative, just music and imagery. The guys who made the trailer specifically wrote a piece of music for the trailer, and the whole thing felt handcrafted and definitely had a personality. I think people were genuinely impressed by it but it didn't explain to them what the movie was or give them an idea of the kind of experience they were going to get. I think it made audiences think it was some kind of a horror movie. As a result people kind of overlooked it in the theaters. I know 99% of the people who loved it and always ask me about it are people who saw it on video years later. How do you feel about the similarities the later 'The Matrix' (1999) has to 'Dark City' (1998)? If I answer that question honestly it sounds like sour grapes because obviously 'The Matrix' did better commercially than 'Dark City' did. 'Dark City' came out a year before 'The Matrix', one of my producers on 'Dark City' worked on 'The Matrix', and the Wachowskis saw 'Dark City' a good nine months before 'Dark City' came out in the theaters, so they had a good run at picking the more important cherries off the cake. I feel like it's a question I can't answer in any more detail than that, other than to say that maybe the Wachowskis should be asked the question rather than me."

JACQUI TIME (Jacqui Heinrich): “Based on your analysis so far, do you have a sense of who is at fault? If it was plane, the helicopter, air traffic control? And can you assure people that it is safe to fly in and out of DC?” Trump: “Well, I've given you the analysis and the analysis was — was based on vision. You got a lot of people that saw what was happening. You had some people that knew what was happening. There were some warnings, but the warnings were given very, very late. You know, those warnings were given very late. It was almost as they were given a few seconds later, was a crash — should have been brought up earlier, but the people and the helicopters should have seen where they were going. I can't imagine people with 20/20 vision not seeing, you know, what's happening up there. Again, they shouldn't have been at the same — if you're going with — in reverse directions or sideways directions, obviously, you want to be at different heights. I see it all the time when I'm flying. I — you have planes going in the opposite. They're always lower or higher or — so if somehow there’s a screw up, there's not going to be a tragedy. It'll be close, but you know, there's never going to be a tragedy if you're in a different elevation. For whatever reason, they were at the same elevation and also from the American Airlines center, he's along the track that every plane is along. You say what was a helicopter doing in that track? Very sad, but visually, somebody should have been able to see and taken that helicopter out of play and they should have been at a different height.”
