## Resource

We discuss why ruining your life might actually be the best thing for you, the insane cope of the modern gender wars, and why people are paying hundreds of dollars to learn how to pull their jaws with their thumbs. We also break down the fake geopolitical wars padding out the news cycle, the $70 million tech parties for employees doing literally nothing, and the Twitter files revealing the FBI's obsession with deleting 20-follower accounts.Later, we get into the absolute state of AI: why Microsoft Copilot is holding back human progress, Elon Musk's Grok bending the knee to furries, and the $100 billion Game of Thrones drama between Sam Altman and Dario Amodei. Plus, why therapy is an epic fake job, the Ozempic meltdown in the fitness influencer community, and why you should just buy a Citizen X passport to escape it all.
