The poor are addicted to entertainment. The ambitious are addicted to information. The rich are addicted to execution.

🚨🇺🇸 Nick Fuentes wants the keys to the Republican Party after Tuesday Fuentes went live after the midterms and told young conservatives to run for office, join campaigns and get hired in the administration. He wants Susie Wiles gone, too. Then he got to the part the GOP should actually worry about: “We will defeat the left if the establishment gets out of our way. Otherwise, we’ll sink the whole f***ing thing.” A few years ago most people tuned him out. Not anymore. Hasan Piker is pulling in the same crowd of young guys on the left every night, and right now those two streamers are doing more to shape where Gen Z ends up than either party. Writer: Daniel

I’m 46. Trust me on this: violent focus is king. Focus is the highest ROI skill in 2026.

More evidence. Exercise is important for brain health.
Exercise should be prescribed, not just advised. For brain health. genomicpress.kglmeridian.com… @NTFabiano @CorlZhou

Security is like an onion 🧅 There’s more to it than passwords. Strong security relies on multiple layers of protection: - Physical security - Identity and access - Networks - Applications - Data protection No single layer can do it alone.

My hot take on robotics is that most of the future value of robotics won't actually accrue to the robotics companies. The value will be realized by the companies that use robotics to carry out physical work.

It’s so funny that SQLite is genuinely faster than most traditional filesystems. I wish there were more experimental operating systems using dbs for the backend. Not many people playing around in this space...

Start outcompeting everybody. The formula is just more. More reps. More hours. More late nights. More attempts. More skills. More conversations that scare you. More time on the thing that matters and less on everything that doesn’t. Volume is the only advantage nobody can take from you. Everyone else is doing just enough. Do too much. On purpose.

“There is no moat.” But moats are everywhere: Ambition. Taste. Agency. Curiosity. Judgment. Courage. Obsession. Persistence. Integrity. Patience. This era belongs to those who refuse to be mediocre.
