day in the life pixar ads are PRINTING in ecom right now
this whole 70 second video is ONE generation
the tool takes the script and builds every scene from there, no stitching clips across 5 apps
a creative agency would quote $500-1,500 for this and take a week
the hard part is keeping the same nurse from waking her son at 6am to the end of her shift, which is where most tools lose her
the setup i use locks her face before a single frame gets made
i'm giving away the whole setup:
> day in the life videos from a single generation
> the claude prompt that writes the story
> the line that stops scenes getting skipped
> the ending that makes people watch twice
rt + comment "NURSE" and i'll send it

I'm convinced this is the easiest 93M views on the internet and nobody's copying it properly
2 stick figures. Black background. 93 MILLION views on a 14 second video
And the guy behind it isn't just farming views. His bio sells prints, courses and "free tools" off the back of it 😭
Honestly this is the most underpriced format on the internet right now
No face. No voice. No lip sync. Nothing for the AI to mess up
So I broke the whole thing down into a playbook:
> The 6 parts every one of these videos has
> A Claude prompt that spits out 50 ideas for fitness, health or money pages
> The exact image + motion prompts to make them with AI
> How to turn the page into a paid info product (and where affiliate fits in)
> A 7 day launch checklist
RT + reply "WALL" and I'll send it over

I am from a city called Jerash, today it is insignificant, a forgotten, decaying place.
But once, it was great. It was Jarasa, a thriving city of the Greco-Roman world, a beacon of culture, knowledge, and civilization.
Then, Islam arrived.
My ancestors were forced to convert, their heritage erased, and their land stripped of its brilliance.
What was once a center of civilization became a ruin, another casualty of Islam’s relentless march.
This wasn’t just Jerash. It was Lebanon. It was Syria. It was Iraq. It was Egypt. These lands weren’t always the Islamic backwaters they are today.
They were hubs of knowledge, trade, philosophy, and empire.
Then Islam came.
It deformed them, crushed their identities, and plunged them into centuries of regression.
Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs, of towering pyramids, of an empire that shaped history, was swallowed by an ideology that replaced its greatness with religious stagnation.
Islam was the greatest colonial project in history.
It expanded by force, erasing entire civilizations and replacing them with submission to an Arab warlord from the 7th century.
And yet, the stupid Western left, the so-called defenders of “decolonization,” bend over backward to give Islam a pass.
They scream about colonialism when it comes to the West but ignore the Islamic colonization of entire peoples, cultures, and lands.
They want to hand the West over to the very force that already destroyed the East.

Here's what I know. James had the courage to call out a serious ideological cancer developing on the the right when it was very unpopular and to do so
Matt still hasn't acknowledged that the problem exists
Maybe James is weird, but he's also been right about a lot of stuff
So maybe popularity shouldn't be the measure of whose voices matter
Lindsay is a paranoid weirdo who absolutely despises right wingers. The good news though is that he has absolutely zero cultural influence outside of the extremely narrow little cult of personality that he’s built up among a relatively small group of mid-level neocon influencers. Beyond that, nobody knows who he is, and nothing he’s ever written, said, or created has made its way into mass culture, or ever will. Stop a thousand random people on the street and not a single one of them will know the name James Lindsay. And that’s precisely the thing that makes this raging narcissist so angry.

I'm raising a 6-year-old son, and one of my biggest concerns is what kind of women are going to be around when he's old enough to get married.
My wife and I homeschool him.
She dedicates herself full-time to his education.
He's reads at a fifth-grade level, studies Julius Caesar and military history, plays competitive sports, and is being raised with discipline + high expectations.
We hold him to an incredibly high standard because we believe it's our responsibility to raise a capable, educated, virtuous young man.
But here's what concerns me....
I look around at all these self-proclaimed "girl dads" who seem to think fatherhood means treating their daughters like little princesses who can do no wrong.
Their daughters are raised on Frozen, Disney princess fantasies, + mainstream tv slop telling them that they are the center of the universe.
And rather than teaching their daughters discipline, modesty, responsibility, and the consequences of their actions, these fathers celebrate every whims under the guise of empowerment.
Who's raising the women who are supposed to marry the men?
Because I'm increasingly concerned that we're going to have a gen of young men who have been held to high expectations and an ever-shrinking pool of women who have been taught to meet those same expectations.
I'm raising a husband, not a babysitter for someone else's spoiled princess.

Dan,
I am defending your prophet against you and I am not even a mormon. This should be your bishop’s and stake president's conversation, not mine.
1. Every historian on earth works from testimony. If eleven signed statements, hostile converts, and journals written the same week are not data, your field has no data.
2. Name one founder of any movement with a record like this. Name one fraud model that predicts the miracles continuing seventy years after the fraud is in the ground.
3. Twenty four years of experiences, shared, witnessed by hostile parties, written down close to the event, by people free to deny them for the rest of their lives who never did. Then seventy more years of the same without him. That is not one man’s dogma. That is a dataset.
4. A farm boy of 23 with three years of schooling dictated the Book of Mormon, nearly 600 pages in about 65 working days. No notes. No manuscript. Every witness to the process says so.
5. The original manuscript survives. It shows a dictated text.
6. The BoM carries chiasmus, Hebrew grammar, and a chronology and geography that have held up under two centuries of hostile reading.
7. It names a place in Arabia, Nahom, that sat in the text for 170 years before archaeologists dug up altars bearing that tribal name, dated to the century the book says Lehi passed through.
8. Eleven men put their names in print in 1830. Eight of them hefted the plates and turned the leaves in daylight.
9. Several of those men later left the church with every reason to bury Joseph. Not one recanted. Ever.
10. David Whitmer was run out of Far West in 1838. He was still swearing to it in print in 1887. He had it carved on his gravestone.
11. Oliver Cowdery saw the angel, the plates, and the priesthood restored. He left the church in 1838, practiced law, and in 1848 stood up in Kanesville and swore to all three again.
12. in 1831, Joseph took Elsa Johnson’s crippled arm and commanded it whole. Ezra Booth, a Methodist preacher, watched and joined that day. Within months he was attacking Joseph in the newspapers, but never recanted the supernatural event.
13. in 1838, Haun’s Mill. A musket ball took the hip joint off seven year old Alma Smith. His mother prayed, packed the wound as she said she was told to, and the boy grew a new joint and walked the rest of his life.
14. in 1839, Nauvoo. Sick himself, Joseph walked the riverbank commanding people out of malaria beds, crossed to Montrose, and raised Elijah Fordham from what Wilford Woodruff called a deathbed. Then he sent his handkerchief to heal a nonmember’s twins. Woodruff wrote it down.
15. in 1840, England. Woodruff blessed Mary Pitt, crippled for over a decade. She walked. He wrote it that week.
16. in Christmas Day 1832. Joseph dictated that war would begin with the rebellion of South Carolina and that the South would call on Great Britain. In print by 1851. Ten years before Sumter.
17. in June 1844, Carthage jail. He told Dan Jones he would live to see Wales again and finish his mission. Jones walked out the next morning, survived, and baptized thousands there.
18. A year before Carthage Joseph told Willard Richards bullets would fly around him like hail and none would touch him. Richards walked out of that room with a nick in his ear and no hole in his coat.
19. In Kirtland, within the first months of 1836 dozens of people reported angels, tongues, and shared visions. The reports sit in journals written that same week, not in old age. Joseph’s, Oliver Cowdery’s, Edward Partridge’s. No plates required.
20. A fraud quits when the profit stops. Joseph was dragged from bed, tarred and feathered in 1832, and preached the next morning to a crowd that included the men who did it.
21. Joseph spent four months of the winter of 1838 chained in a dungeon in Liberty, Missouri, and wrote some of his finest pages there.
22. Joseph walked to Carthage knowing what waited. He did not recant there either.
23. A con dies with the con man. These experiences did not.
24. in October 1846. Sick refugees driven from Nauvoo were fed by flocks of quail that landed on their wagons and let themselves be picked up by hand. Thomas Bullock wrote it in his journal that night.
25. in 1848, the trail. Mary Fielding Smith, a widow, had the elders bless a dying ox. It got up and pulled her wagon to the valley. Her nine year old son watched. He grew up to lead the church, and in 1918, weeks before his own death, recorded a vision of the dead that the church canonized.
26. Survivors of the Martin handcart company said to the end of their lives that they looked back to see who was pushing their carts and saw no one.
27. in 1891, Brigham City. Nineteen year old Ella Jensen died of scarlet fever. Her father went for Lorenzo Snow, then president of the Twelve. After she had been dead about two hours, Snow commanded her in the name of Jesus Christ to come back and live. She came back. She said she had been in the spirit world and did not want to return. She married, raised a family, and lived for decades. Her father, the stake president Rudger Clawson, and Ella herself all left accounts.
28. Snow later said he saw the Savior in the Salt Lake Temple. You can doubt that. You cannot doubt Ella.
29. Wilford Woodruff kept a daily journal for more than sixty years. The healings and manifestations never stop. They run across the plains, into the valley, and through the Manti and Salt Lake temple dedications, in different journals from different hands.
I can keep going. The record keeping going. The data that the Restoration was founded on the supernatural is overwhelming, and it took an outsider to say it to you.
I am sorry you lost your testimony. I mean that.

Oh boy! I never knew that priest, Jonathan Morris, from FOXNEWS, left the priesthood but I definitely am not surprised he’s coming forward with this! You gotta read it!
”Unlike many lay Catholics, and a small number of seminarians and young priests, most ordained Catholic clergy know that Pope Leo, his predecessor Pope Francis, and the vast majority of American-born bishops, priests, and seminarians today are homosexuals” 😳

This guy is either trolling or he genuinely does not understand quantum computing. ECDSA does not break because AI read some math papers and GPUs exist. A known break requires a fault-tolerant quantum computer running Shor's algorithm, which we do not have. To break Ethereum ECDSA, you need hundreds of thousands of physical qubits that are low-noise, controllable, connected, error-corrected, cooled, calibrated, decoded, and operated as roughly 1,200 to 1,500 logical qubits (500,000 physical qubits for error correction) for a huge Shor computation.
The missing piece is not one clever AI-discovered trick. It is an entire fault-tolerant quantum computing stack that has not been built yet. If he is claiming ECDSA falls before Q-day on GPU clusters, he is implying a classical Shor-level break of elliptic curve discrete log. Show the attack, the complexity, the benchmark, or even a toy result. Otherwise "security researcher" is doing a lot of work in his bio.
Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash.
Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase).
Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets.
IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster).
Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot.
Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time?
Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.)
Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once.
Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case.
I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026).
Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS.
Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security.
The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.

American an European friends,
I’m so ashamed, but you need to see what France has become.
Don’t make the same mistakes we did.
The only peaceful solution is to send them back to their countries of origin they love so much.

If you are not utterly shocked, incredibly saddened, and massively disturbed by how Islam and Communism are destroying the West, you are morally, intellectually and spiritually dead. This is the greatest civilisational struggle of our lifetime. There is no place for fence-sitting here. You are either resisting this satanic takeover, or you are part of the problem.

🚨 Welcome to the $15 billion California High Speed Rail to nowhere:
Since 2008 California has spent $15 billion and has not connected a single city or laid a single track. It is now projected to cost more than $200 billion to finish despite being proved nearly impossible to complete.
In 2008 China also announced a high-speed rail and has now connected the entire country with over 30,000 miles while California has connected 0 miles.
Over $500 million has gone to contractors who could not work, homes are currently being built on the alignment, and farmers will lose their farms. In this video I go down the alignment of the high speed rail exposing the failures and confront the legislators in charge of this absolute disaster of a project.
A prime example of fraud, waste and abuse of the taxpayer dollar.
