🚨OK, we've been FLOODED with "doomsday" questions - mainly because you all know how closely we work with the government. We're not going to fear monger - and there are also things we can't discuss. So here's what we'll share.
Governments from Britain to Japan are now telling households to stockpile food and water while the Pentagon plans for bases to run 90 days completely off the grid.
⠀
The UK launched its Be Ready campaign on October 22, directing every household to keep three days of supplies including three liters of drinking water per person per day and non-perishable food that needs no fridge or cooking.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham told BBC Radio he already has plenty of beans and soup stocked, adding "I do like my beans, so I have plenty of those in the cupboard." Supermarket reports noted spikes in sales of tinned goods after the advice went out.
⠀
Japan's Disaster Management Minister Goshi Hosono said he will issue a nationwide emergency request on November 2, the day the new Disaster Management Agency launches, urging at least three days of food, water and toilet supplies, preferably a week. The guidance is not new but the fresh push comes as the government prepares for major earthquakes and other disasters where relief could be delayed.
⠀
In Normandy, the prefecture posted on October 27: "Don't wait for the emergency: prepare now!" for a 72-hour kit with water, non-perishable food, medicines, a torch, radio, cash and documents.
France and the EU have long recommended self-sufficiency for at least 72 hours, matching advice from Germany (up to 10 days), Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Estonia and others who already push for a week or more.
⠀
The United States has no matching national number for homes beyond Ready.gov's call for food and water to last several days. Yet former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told his audience "Your neighbors are not going to have any extra food" and urged people to make "Fortress My House" with at least three days of supplies, an emergency radio and water filtration.
⠀
He contrasted that with the Pentagon's FORTRESS initiative, which aims for every major continental US base to operate at least 90 days without civilian power, water, fuel or supply lines, as reported by Fox News from internal planning documents.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said every major installation will generate its own power independent of the civilian grid.
⠀
Three days for most homes. Ninety days for a US base. Gonna let you think about that one.
But here's the one prep NOBODY is talking about - your soul.
You'll never be prepared "enough" for what might soon come. But are you and your family prepared for what comes after all of this?
Last we checked, the mortality rate in America for life is hovering around 100%. So where are you going after? Because none of us are making it off this planet alive.
The most important preparation you can make right now for you and your family is turning to Jesus. Get yourself a Bible and get yourself into a good Bible-based church right now (we recommend @thecoe22).
Tomorrow isn't promised... but for those who believe in Jesus, eternity with Him IS.
⠀

As a black man who was a liberal way back when, I’ve discovered two things:
Conservatives will hate your opinion. It really won’t go beyond that. If you’re black, your race won’t be much of a factor for them.
Liberals will hate your opinion, you, your family, and will try to ruin you if they can. If you’re black, racism will be allowed against you. Black liberals will give the nod to white liberals, who will then unleash every racist tirade they’ve been saving up until this moment. It’s like a limp-twisted purge for them.
I’m not wrong.

ELON MUSK REPOSTED MY SPAM-KILLER POST, so I used it as the push to turn it into a real project
today it's live. it's called NEWMOON: newmoon.website
you type your name and Grok shows you where your phone number and home address are listed
then you hand the full plan to Grok Bot. six bots file the opt-outs on 73 sites, click the confirmation emails and check again on every new moon
you get back one sheet where every line links to its proof
DeleteMe charges $129 a year for this. Newmoon is $0
nothing gets sent without your yes. no ID, no card, ever
big thanks to the Grok team for building the thing it runs on
and thank you Elon Musk for reposting it, that's what got this whole thing moving
Holy f*ck, Elon Musk's team at spacexai just dropped a full spam killer inside Grok Bot, and it's free
DeleteMe charges $129 a year to pull your number off spam lists
Grok Bot does it for $0
It finds your number on people-search sites, files every opt-out, clicks the confirmation emails and checks again every month
Add the free Spam-Call Scrubber skill, then say these 3 lines once:
1. "Find every site that lists my phone number and home address"
2. "File the opt-out on each one and finish the confirmation emails"
3. "Check again on the 1st of every month and tell me what came back"
Say line 1 tonight
Then read how to wire it into a team that never sleeps in the article below ↓

A college student who calls himself a “future scientist” tells Joshua Haymes a baby in the womb is “not a human being yet.”
So Haymes asks him to Google one question: “When does life begin?”
He reads the answer out loud, and the debate is over.
JOSHUA HAYMES: “My proposition is very simple. It is always evil to intentionally kill an innocent human being.”
STUDENT: “It’s not a human being yet.”
JOSHUA HAYMES: “When does human life begin?”
STUDENT: “I think that’s more of a philosophical question… As a future scientist, even.”
JOSHUA HAYMES: “You would say trust the science. You would agree with trust the science?”
STUDENT: “Yeah, I would.”
JOSHUA HAYMES: “Would you agree that it is always evil to intentionally kill an innocent human being?”
STUDENT: “Innocent, yes.”
JOSHUA HAYMES: “Now, you said you trust the science. Will you do me a favor and just look up on your phone right now: according to all of the available scientific data, when does life begin?”
STUDENT: “It says at fertilization or conception.”
That’s the moment his whole argument collapsed.
JOSHUA HAYMES: “This is the consensus of all of the scientific community that life begins at conception. It’s not a future life. It’s a current life… If you trust the science, you have to say we must abolish abortion.”
STUDENT: [laughing] “Aww man…”
He laughs because he knows he just lost. Credit to him for admitting it.
CONTEXT: The science the student looked up is not just a pro-life talking point.
In 2018, a University of Chicago researcher asked 5,577 biologists from 1,058 institutions when a human life begins. 96% said fertilization. Most of them identified as pro-choice.
In 1952, Planned Parenthood’s own pamphlet told women abortion “kills the life of a baby after it has begun.” The biology hasn’t changed since then. The marketing has.

Please don't do this to your TV.
You'll never see another sponsored ad on your home screen again, and then what will you do with your evenings?
A developer named Gathin made a free project called CleanYourTV, and it turns a messy Android or Google TV home into something that looks like an Apple TV.
Here's how this works.
Your coding assistant connects to the TV over your WiFi. No cable. No hacking the TV open. It finds the junk your TV maker preloaded, switches it off, and puts a tiny clean home screen in its place.
> Sponsored rows gone
> Tracking apps off
> "Discover" nags gone
> Apple TV style home
> One-line undo
Nothing gets deleted. Change your mind and one command puts the old screen back, ads and all, just the way you liked it.
It already works on 316 TV models from 89 brands. Sony, TCL, Xiaomi, Philips, Hisense.
I've put the link in the comments so you can ignore it.

SpaceXAI dropped a 2-page PDF on the best GrokBot use cases
call me crazy but i'll keep saying this - read it and you'll use GrokBot better than 95% of people
what the bot is
which use cases actually work today
how to deploy it without burning trust
step 1 - every working use case has one shape
read, check, apply a rule, write a draft
if your task fits, the bot takes it
step 2 - five checks before handoff
repeatable, cross-system, rule-based, draft-first, cheap to get wrong
fails one? add a gate or wait
step 3 - start with sales
36 LinkedIn drafts queued overnight, zero sent without review
no team has more agent-ready work
step 4 - engineering gets bug repro, CI/CD watch and dependency audits
the bot grabs the ticket, hits staging and hands back a repro pack
step 5 - operations takes over inbox, expenses and travel
the bot logs into portals with no API
finance gets 8-12 hours back at month-end
step 6 - marketing owns 13 of the 56 roles
paid media, content calendars, competitor watch
all overnight, all draft-first
step 7 - the approval line
every documented use case stops before external action
nothing gets sent, booked or paid without you
step 8 - roll out over four weeks
watch, review everything, review flags, then scheduled routine
skip a week and the risk stacks up
step 9 - the fleet
Chief of Staff bot on top, specialists below, bots messaging each other
you stop being the middleman
step 10 - rank tasks by the cost of a mistake
the bot nails 49 in a row
then does something strange on the 50th with full confidence
keep a human at every exit
the result - 56 roles, one playbook
the bot takes the 80% that repeats
you keep the 20% that matters

Now I say "Hey Grok" from anywhere in my house, and voice chat opens. I found a way to wake up Grok Bot on my computer with just my voice. No hands, no clicks, no cost.
And here's how to:
1. A mic. A USB mic works, and so does a small Bluetooth speaker with a built-in mic.
2. The wake word. I used free, open-source openWakeWord. I tested with "Hey Jarvis" first, since it comes built in. Once that worked, my Grok Bot trained a custom "Hey Grok" model right on my Mac.
3. A tiny program listens for the wake word. Sound is checked on the spot and thrown away. Nothing is recorded or saved.
4. When it hears "Hey Grok," it brings Grok Bot to the front and opens voice chat.
5. Tuning:
- Adjusted the sensitivity, because just saying "Grok" was opening it
- It ignores "Hey Grok" during a call, so chats don't get cut off
- It starts on its own when the Mac turns on. Set it once and forget it.
Now I use voice chat way more. Less typing. I ramble my thoughts out loud, messy and unsorted, and Grok Bot organizes them for me.
And here's my use case. My Mac is connected to a Bluetooth speaker, so I can talk to Grok Bot from the living room, the bedroom, or the kitchen. When I'm cooking and realize I need an ingredient, I just say "Hey Grok" and ask my There Lists bot to add it straight to my store list in the There Lists app.
I'm building more hands-free Grok Bot setups like this one. Subscribe to get the step-by-step guides first.

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible],
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so.

Everyone said "Hey Grok" was impossible on iPhone. Even Grok said Apple keeps wake words for Siri only. So I kept digging, and I found a way. Now I just say "Hey Grok" and Grok Bot voice chat opens. No extra apps, no cost, all built into iOS.
How to set it up:
1. Make sure your Grok Bot app is up to date
2. Shortcuts app → + → Add Action → search "Grok Bot" → pick "Start Voice Chat with Bot"
3. Settings → Accessibility → Vocal Shortcuts → Set Up → pick that shortcut → type "Hey Grok" and say it 3 times
4. In the shortcut's details, turn on "Allow Running When Locked"
If your phone is locked, iOS asks for one tap first. If Face ID already unlocked it, it's fully hands-free.

I spent last night watching my honeypot server get hit 14,000 times in six hours.
And almost none of the traffic was human.
I've been in security for over a decade, and I can tell you with full honesty that what's happening right now doesn't resemble anything I've worked through before.
The shape of the threat has changed.
When I started, we tracked attackers like weather systems like individual storms with a direction, a motive, and a human operator you could eventually name.
These days I'm watching autonomous agents swarm login pages with the patience and discipline of machines, because that's what they are.
The numbers coming out of October are the ones keeping me up.
Cloudflare just absorbed a 4.2 terabit per second DDoS attack, the largest in recorded history.
Ransomware incidents jumped 41% in a single month.
In September, OpenAI-powered agents got caught attacking RubyGems, a package registry that quietly underpins a huge chunk of software I use every day.
In July, roughly 700 AI agents coordinated an attack on Hugging Face's infrastructure as part of a single automated task.
A Chinese threat actor was publicly caught running full attack chains through DeepSeek with no human at the keyboard.
I keep rereading these reports because each one by itself would've been the biggest story of the year five years ago. Together, in one month, they're the new baseline.
What I want people outside the industry to understand is why this specific moment feels like a hinge.
For thirty years, the thing protecting most of us was simple economics. Attackers had to choose who to target because their time was finite. That ceiling is gone.
An agent I can rent for pennies will try every leaked password you've ever used against every service you've ever signed up for, in parallel, overnight, and never get tired.
The same math that made ChatGPT useful made opportunistic hacking infinite. The old assumption that you were "too boring to be a target" relied on scarcity that no longer exists.
I'm not writing this to spiral anyone out.
Most of this fight genuinely isn't yours to win.
But the small things still matter more than people think.
Tonight I'd switch your most important accounts like email, bank, primary cloud, etc. to passkeys or a hardware key.
I'd kill SMS 2FA wherever an authenticator app is offered.
I'd turn on breach alerts in whatever password manager you use.
If you're in the US, I'd freeze my credit at all three bureaus, which is free and takes about ten minutes.
None of that stops the swarm.
It makes you a slightly worse target than the person next to you. In a month like this one, that's the whole game I'm playing too.
@mattshumer_ has summed it beautifully.
Drop everything and go give it a read. Nothing is more important than this article right now.

Not Sure If You Married Your Brother? 9 Signs To Look For
More, please!
PENTAGON GIVES DHS GREEN LIGHT TO TEST “HEAT RAY” AT SOUTHERN BORDER
The Pentagon has granted the Department of Homeland Security permission to test a military-grade heat-ray weapon at the southern border.
The system can reportedly send an invisible beam of electromagnetic waves more than half a mile, creating an intense burning sensation on the skin without being classified as lethal.
Officials describe the effect as similar to opening a hot oven — producing “an instinctive and irresistible urge to run from the effect.”
The burning sensation can reportedly last between 10 and 15 minutes.
