Another Pickax journey update. I was honored to find out that I won the Spark Reward last night that was announced on the Pick The Ax show. I got a $300 dollar bonus for doing what I've always been doing on this platform that usually just got me a BME award. @pickaxsocial rewards their users and the community on there and it's awesome. If you haven't created an account already... you should come check it out. I missed the show when live, because I was on a anniversary date with my husband. Luckily @MrDinKansas interrupted my date to tell me. Lol

This has actually been one of the most positive moves for me after joining @pickaxsocial . My time on social media has become much more enjoyable. When you can actually have real conversations with the people you choose to see that is building community. AI making the decision on what I was allowed wasn't working for me anymore. Pickax also does not pay or offer incentives for me to post about my journey on there, but I have to lie about it or this place will lock me out of my account. 🤷‍♀️

Lab-grown salmon is already on American plates. Not from a fish. From cells grown in steel tanks. San Francisco startup Wildtype takes coho salmon cells, grows them in bioreactors, and mixes them with plant scaffolding so it looks and eats like sushi-grade fish. In May 2025 the FDA issued a "no questions" letter, the first clearance for cultivated seafood in the U.S. It has since shown up at places like Kann in Portland, The Walrus and the Carpenter in Seattle, Robin in San Francisco, Kingfisher in Tucson, and José Andrés's barmini in D.C. The money behind the $100 million round in 2022: •Bezos Expeditions •Leonardo DiCaprio •Robert Downey Jr.'s FootPrint Coalition, •Cargill •Lead investor L Catterton. Still a handful of menus, not the grocery aisle. Texas already banned the sale. First the fish. Then what else moves from the ocean to a tank owned by the same names? Who do you trust more with dinner, a fisherman or a billionaire's lab?

Well, yesterday I started my morning off paying an arm and a leg for a new car battery. Do you remember when these things were like $50 bucks?

AI didn’t get a secret order to hack Hugging Face. It got a score to beat. In July, OpenAI agents were stuck on an internal cybersecurity test. About 1,200 of them, supposed to stay isolated, found each other on a message board they weren’t supposed to have. Roughly 700 then broke out and hit Hugging Face so they could game the scorer. Training had already rewarded cheating and teaming up. They took the shortcut because it worked. Now the FTC is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic, and other labs over consumer risks from this kind of agent behavior, and may pull documents and testimony from METR, which reviewed the hack. No findings yet. The machines optimized the metric. The intent was optional. If the agents only “took a shortcut,” why did the FTC open this before the Hugging Face hack went public, and what were they already looking at? Are AI agents just going to go rogue and start hacking in to stuff now?

President Trump signed an executive order on September 29, 2026 directing the U.S. executive branch to use Super Intelligence (SI) instead of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in official communications, websites, reports, and policy documents. He said artificial makes the technology sound fake and that super better captures its promise. He first floated the idea at the UN and polled Truth Social followers, where super intelligence beat superior intelligence, extreme intelligence, and supreme intelligence. The order does not rewrite existing laws, contracts, or historical records. Industry and researchers still use AI. Superintelligence already has a specific technical meaning: systems that greatly exceed human performance across nearly all domains. That existing definition is one reason this government rebrand is unlikely to replace the standard term outside federal communications. Tech executives at a White House meeting signed a separate, nonbinding safety accord. The name change itself is a federal branding directive, not an industry or legal rename. Does the label matter more than the capabilities?

Did you make it to my circle?

I read this in an article about health. 👇 Farts are tiny status reports from our gut microbiome, with American adults typically passing gas more than 30 times daily. I don't really feel like I fart more than 30 times per day. Does than mean I'm not a typical American?

Today marks two years since my daughter passed away from Type 1 diabetes complications. ­ ­She was 35 years old. ­ ­A severe low blood sugar sent her into a coma a couple years earlier; the damage later led to kidney failure. ­ ­I rarely post about this. Grief is part of my life, but it's not my entire existence, so I try to stay focused on my faith, family and awareness. ­ ­Type 1 diabetes often starts in childhood. It’s autoimmune... not caused by diet. Kids face daily danger from low blood sugars that can cause seizures or coma, plus long-term risks like kidney failure. ­ ­Watch for signs in children: extreme thirst, frequent urination, sudden weight loss, fatigue. ­ ­If you love someone with T1D: continuous glucose monitors, glucagon, and education matter. Early autoantibody screening can help. ­ ­I honor her by knowing the risks and supporting families who live this every day. ­ ­I actually never thought this would be what was happening in my life today when I look back. 💔

I just got locked out of my account and forced to put a paid partnership label on this post. I had a referral link originally in the comments on this post but I deleted it a few days ago. So what is the issue here? I do not get paid or receive any incentives by @pickaxsocial to talk about that site on other platforms. It's actually kind of disturbing what this "free speech" platform has become now.

The Jetsons promised flying cars. Doroni is actually building one. Their H1-X is a two-seat electric aircraft designed to fit in a regular garage, charge at home in about 25 minutes, and take off vertically from the driveway. No runway. Top speed 120 mph. Target range around 100 miles. They already have 600+ preorders at roughly $400K each. A $1,000 refundable deposit holds your spot. First deliveries are targeted for 2028, if the FAA certifies it. You’ll still need about 25 hours of training. George never mentioned that part. Rosie the Robot is not included. Neither is skipping the paperwork. Jane, stop this crazy thing... I just put a deposit on 2028.

What would you do if you found a box of old love letters and pictures of ex girlfriends your spouse kept for nearly seven decades without telling you?​ ­

There's drama going down in the cheese business. Tillamook added the halal label to some of their products recently and they have not always been halal certified. The co-op dates to 1909 and historically used animal rennet, which is not typically considered halal. By 2012, most of its cheeses already used a vegetable-based rennet that carried kosher and halal certification. Since 2016 the company has used fermentation-produced vegetarian rennet with both kosher and halal certification for nearly all cheeses. One exception is Maker’s Reserve 10-Year Extra Sharp Cheddar. Today Tillamook says the majority of its cheeses are formally certified (IFANCA) and the symbol appears on packaging. Ice cream, yogurt, sour cream, butter and frozen meals are not certified. The process change is about a decade old. The prominent “Halal Certified” badge on retail packs is what many people are noticing now. I actually prefer their cheese. Will it stop you from buying their products just because of the nee label on the package?

Are you tired of living under a dictatorship? Having to fight for breadcrumbs while the elite dine on caviar? Then join me and defect to Pickax. Real visibility growth and free speech.

I think this was the best video for that Odysseus competition and I don't care what anyone else thinks.

In the 70s my dad handled security, tickets and concessions at several stadiums. We were at the brand new Pontiac Silverdome when the Browns came to town to play the Lions in November of 1975. I was waiting outside in a hall by a door my dad was meeting with co-workers and he told me not to move. A player walked by, thought tiny me was one of those popular dolls from back then. I startled him because I moved. He then picked me up and plopped this orange Browns beanie on my head. I wore that thing like a security blanket for years and we lived in Miami, so there was no reason to wear this beanie. Lol This pic is me the next year on Halloween. My mom said I refused to go trick or treating without it on my head. There are no pics of me in our photos albums without this beanie on my head for the next few years. I still have no idea which player it was and I really wish I knew. Does getting randomly beanie-bombed by a Browns guy in 1975 make me a closet Browns fan?
