GOD
The Pope has just handed the BIBLE to Trump, calling the war in Iran UNJUST. He is asking Americans to convene Congress and demand Trump’s impeachment.
SCIENCE
ESSAY — Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson
sums it up with data that leaves little room for debate:
In the days of the cavemen, a human being lived an average of 30 years. By 1840, life expectancy had barely risen to 35. And that was with everything being “organic”: pure air, unprocessed water, and free-range animals.
Even so, people died young.
What really skyrocketed life expectancy wasn’t “natural living,” but science: vaccines, antibiotics, sanitation, medical technology, and accumulated knowledge.
That’s why reasonable expectations must align with what the scientific evidence shows.
And if history teaches us anything, it’s this: every time we trust the evidence, we advance; every time we ignore it, we fall back.
CONGRESS
House Democrats are at the Capitol demanding Mike Johnson call open a session to vote on the Iran War Powers Resolution. “It is Congress who can declare war, not a self serving president guided by Netanyahu.” OPEN THE VOTE.
MAJOR BREAKING: House Republicans just slammed the gavel and killed the War Powers vote on Operation Epic Fury. Democrats erupted on the floor chanting “SHAME.”

“Child sex trafficking was something that took place [in Afghanistan] that was something that the US-backed client state was deeply implicated in.” – Seth Harp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9n3pXFEVMg
Bitcoin
Bitcoin devs just built a prototype to protect wallets from quantum attacks.
Even in worst case scenarios, Bitcoin could pause normal spending and still let users recover their funds using this new method.Quantum defenses are already being built.
Do everything you can to get AT LEAST 0.01 Bitcoin The world will figure out what Bitcoin is eventually, and there are only 262,500 Satoshis per person on earth.
If you allocate 1% of your portfolio to Bitcoin, over time that 1% will become 99% of your portfolio. Getting through the dips is the key!!!!!!!
In 2010, $1 bought you 10 billion Satoshis
Today, $1 buys you about 1400 Satoshis
At $1M Bitcoin, $1 will buy you 100 Satoshis
As long as you can buy Bitcoin with fiat, you are early.
On a Bitcoin standard, no one will want to own real estate as a savings account. House prices will fall to utility value. Houses will be a liability rather than an asset. How much will house prices fall from here in terms of Bitcoin? Maybe 99%+.
Houses will cost 1,000,000 Satoshis by the time 10% of the world figures it out, IMO. The wealthy won’t want to own more houses than they need because they would rather own Bitcoin. Bitcoin is better money.
The President of the United States is hosting a meme coin conference at Mar-a-Lago on April 25th. He is personally promoting a token he profits from while signing the legislation that regulates it. This is not crypto adoption. This is a sitting president running a side hustle from the Oval Office. In any other context this would be called corruption.
TECHNOLOGY
What in the actual fuck??? Walmart’s patent application for a biometric feedback shopping cart handle, which tracks heart rate, body temperature, and grip force, is US 2018/020554 A1. This application, titled “System And Method For A Biometric Feedback Cart Handle,” was published in August 2018.
OpenAI spent $9 billion last year and lost money on every single user.
The math has never worked. They burn more per user than they charge. Open AI – a business that is kept afloat by burning money in a “loss leader” strategy while telling everyone that with more investment it will reach a magical chalice. The lie of the “pathway to AGI” has been exposed. Now OpenAI will collapse.
US Mobile has launched the “Starlink One” bundle,
combining unlimited cellular service across Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile networks with uncapped Starlink home internet for less than $50 a month. This single plan includes a miniature Starlink dish, extends coverage to Canada and Mexico, and features international roaming, with early access available starting Thursday, April 9, 2026.

This is WILD!
A small startup just declared war on America’s most powerful telecom companies and nobody is talking about it.
For decades, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have had an iron grip on how Americans connect to the world.
They built the towers, they set the prices, and you had no real choice but to pay whatever they demanded. That stranglehold ends today.
US Mobile just bundled Starlink satellite home internet together with unlimited wireless service across all three major networks and they are charging under $50 a month for the whole thing.
Let that land for a second.
You are getting home internet beamed down from space, plus full cellular coverage on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile’s networks, all inside one bill that costs less than most people pay for just their phone plan alone.
The big carriers have been charging $120 a month just for Starlink residential internet on its own.
US Mobile is handing you that same service plus an unlimited phone plan for less than half of that price.
This is not a discount carrier cutting corners.
US Mobile is an MVNO, a company that leases capacity from all three major networks at wholesale rates and packages them into something the big carriers would never offer, because doing so would cannibalize their own revenue streams.
Their internal network names are Warp, Darkstar, and Lightspeed.
Those are Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, all three, simultaneously available to one customer on one plan.
Now they are adding a fourth layer from orbit.
Starlink’s constellation of low-earth satellites delivers home internet that has already disrupted rural broadband. Bundled with cellular, it means one plan that follows you from your living room to the middle of nowhere.
The big carriers saw this threat coming. T-Mobile has been in a satellite partnership with Starlink, but that exclusivity window has expired, meaning SpaceX can now work with anyone.
US Mobile was paying attention when everyone else was not.
AT&T has bet $15.6 billion on a rival satellite company called AST SpaceMobile just to try to keep up.
Verizon has no credible satellite answer at all and now a nine-year-old startup from New York is selling the whole package for under $50 a month.
New Civil Liberties Alliance @NCLAlegal
This may have flown under your radar, but NCLA settled a very important civil liberties and privacy case last week.
In Wright v. Goldstein, NCLA lawyers sued over a Massachusetts program that auto-installed a Covid tracking app on more than a million smartphones—without users’ knowledge or consent.
The spyware app tracked movements and contacts, and in even reinstalled itself if a smartphone owner deleted it.
Because of tireless work by NCLA litigators, including Peggy Little, pictured here at the courthouse after the settlement was approved, the government can’t install tracking device apps on your phone, and Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) agrees to destroy all of the data it illegally collected.
Meta today began removing ads from attorneys who were seeking clients that claim to have been harmed by social media while under the age of 18.

The OG Techie was Peter Norton who released Norton Utilities in 1982 and his book, “Inside the IBM PC” in 1983.
A 19-year-old took apart an IBM PC and realized something that would destroy two of the world’s most powerful computer companies:
“The emperor had no clothes.” Michael Dell opened up his IBM 5150 and found nothing made by IBM inside. Just assembled parts from other manufacturers. The same parts available to anyone. This was the insight that mattered: If IBM doesn’t actually make the components, why are they charging 50-70% more than it costs to buy the same parts separately and assemble them? So Dell did the obvious thing. He bought IBM PCs at retail price. Upgraded them with better components. Sold them directly to doctors and lawyers. His first 9 months: $6 million in revenue. First full year: $33 million. IBM and Compaq called him a “mail order company” and a “garage shop operation.” They weren’t wrong about the garage part. But they completely missed the point. They were obsessed with their brand, their distribution channels, their retail partnerships. They thought those things were the moat. What they actually were: the tax on inefficiency. Dell had found the gap between what something cost to make and what people were charged to buy it. And he exploited it ruthlessly.
