We bringin it back @centerforminds
The ancient Greeks made a psychedelic from toxic fungus, wood ash, & water â and served it to thousands every year for 2,000 years.
A paper published today in Nature showed how.
Plato drank this. Cicero drank this.
The Western world was built on a psychedelic sacrament.

This is big. Long overdue but I wonât say that part out loud.
Getting food from real farmers into the school system is actually a shockingly hard thing to do. I have worked on this problem for the past 12 months. Yes, with success, but hard fought success.
Excited to put my bid in on solving this problem.
Big news for healthier school meals đđ„©
Today, @NIH and @AHRQGov are announcing DEPEND, a new $32.5 million HHS initiative to help schools serve healthier, nutritious food while staying within their budgets.
@SecKennedy: âWe need to help them upgrade their kitchens, expand scratch cooking, reduce added sugars and ultra-processed foods, and serve more fresh produce, whole grains, and high-quality protein. We will use rigorous science to build the playbook for how schools across America can transition to real foods affordably.â

Try to save the world and every morning turns into a fully caffeinated respawn at the big boss level
Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal.
Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.
If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.

We at @ultranative backed these co-founders at @americanhousing because:
1. @rileymeik told me a story about how he would skateboard every morning to his job in El Segundo at @spacex wondering what he could build in the same Elon mega-scale fashion while also saving the world⊠and then left to do it (leaving what I imagine a nice chunk of expensive stock on the table). ANDâŠ
2. @YIMBYLAND is the subject matter expert of all experts in advancing building codes to allow for sensible approaches to building more housing, at breakneck speeds. AND
3. Their company name is pretty badass. Story and brand matter. And yes⊠they can build beautiful homes, insanely quick, at a fraction of the current national cost.
After a year of waiting, we're FINALLY featuring @americanhousing on S3.
This is an exclusive look at their first house: designed, manufactured and installed in a matter of weeks. The future of housing is here.

My prediction: this company will fail - not for lack of having an incredible product - but for taking a risk on what at face value feels like a funny, cheeky, brand name and marketing strategy.
Humans hate the concept of death. Nobody wants to think about it, let alone pay an AI to âpredict their dateâ.
The Liquid Death strategy of tongue in cheek marketing isnât a one size fits all. đŹ
Screw it, we're giving a free blood test to every American.
Today we're launching Death Clock. No one lives forever. The only question is: when?
We trained an AI to predict your date, then move it. One app. Years added to your life.
Real needle, real lab, $0.

I love my friends. @markpinc does an exceptional job of speaking to just how important the heart is in the game of entrepreneurship and building products people love â because you love them first.
.@markpinc's best advice for founders: life is too short to struggle:
"From a product standpoint, when something works, everything works."
"It's not this feeling of pushing a rock up a hill."
"It's not this feeling of, 'Ugh, this is really hard.'"
"You're better off not struggling, but spending 10 years trying to get to your lightning in a bottle, and then have it just all work magically, than 10 years pushing up a rock up a hill."

Facts are important. Brainwash is real.
We need more good work out of organizations like @neutralityorg
Encore un scandale.
On accuse Elon Musk sans arrĂȘt de se servir de Grok pour faire passer ses idĂ©es.
Pourtant, le @neutralityorg vient de sortir The Neutrality Project : une Ă©tude indĂ©pendante qui prouve lâinverse.
Sur 18 modÚles IA testés, 54 positions sur 60 atterrissent à gauche du centre.
Moyenne globale : -0.41 (biais progressiste massif, surtout environnement et valeurs sociales).
Et Grok 4.5 ? -0.02. Le modĂšle le plus neutre de tout le benchmark. Le seul vraiment proche du centre.
Pendant ce temps, les autres boßtes injectent massivement leur idéologie de gauche dans des IA qui répondent à des milliards de questions par jour.
Manipulation des masses Ă grande Ă©chelle.
Câest absolument scandaleux. Ăa devrait ĂȘtre un scandale mondial.

Wish we could call a yellow card for simulation on our reality and throw Trump out of the game.
Embolo was booked for simulation â his second yellow â and sent off.
Switzerland down to 10 men against Argentina.
Do you agree with the call?

We need more of this in society.
Think And Grow Rich will be mandatory reading in public schools when I am prez.
Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath "Bro, there is no failure."
"That is what other people think of you to keep you down. There's no failure. If you were left on an island and it happened, you would just brush it off and move on. It's everybody else that you think is judging you. But then, here's the secret. They don't give a fuck about you. They are living their own lives. So it's your perception of what they think of you."
"There is no failure. There's do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn."

Boom! 2 M shares of @SpaceX to the @TrumpAccounts of 2 M kids that will be held until they are 18. Thank you Gwynne & Robert for your extreme generosity. Every child an owner / shareholder in the American Dream! đșđžđșđžđđ @WhiteHouse @MichaelDell
My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation.
Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home.
We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars.
A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

Unpopular opinion: eggheads who despise empathy and fund kinetic warfare startups founded by Hawaiian shirt wearing kids with unresolved childhood trauma - shouldnât be on a Defense Policy Board.
đšU.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just appointed Marc Andreessen to the Defense Policy Board

Iâve seen this kid before. Heâs the nerd from childhood who was also given way too much money by his parents, so he attempts to wield it as a tool to âbe cool.â
I desperately hope @sama wakes up one day and realizes it doesnât fâing matter.
