🌹Miss Dior: A French Rose of Resistance Against Hatred

In a world flooded with rising antisemitism, where Jewish heritage and heroes are too often erased, remember this luminous thread of courage, elegance, and unbreakable alliance.
Catherine Dior — ⬇️

⬇️ Arrested by the Gestapo in 1944, tortured, and deported on one of the last trains to Ravensbrück women’s concentration camp, she survived slave labor, death marches, and hell itself. ⬇️ Image
⬇️ Her brother, who in the 1930s ran Paris art galleries championing Jewish artists like Max Jacob and Man Ray (and freely mixed with Jews when it was unpopular), honored her with the iconic Miss Dior perfume in 1947 — a floral burst of joy and memory. ⬇️ Image

Ukraine was supposed to have “no cards.” Now Putin is trapped in “zugzwang”.

Russia captured only 0.04% of Ukraine this year, lost territory in Apr, cut the Victory Day parade to 45 minutes, and now fears Ukrainian drones near Moscow, George Will for the WP. 1/ Image
Zelenskyy turned Putin’s main war ritual into a security problem.

Ukraine “permitted” the May 9 parade by not striking Red Square, while fewer troops and vehicles appeared because Moscow feared drone attacks on staging areas. 2/
Russia’s battlefield gains now cost absurd amounts of manpower.

Putin’s troops can spend weeks losing hundreds of fighting-age men to seize patches of land the size of the National Mall. 3/

Your husband notices more than you think.

1/5 Image
He notices how you greet him when he walks through the door.

He notices whether your phone gets more attention than he does. Image
He notices if strangers receive more patience, kindness, and compassion than he does. Image

Remember the pig heads at the Paris mosques? Or the Jewish centers painted green?

I knew exactly whose work it was the moment I saw it. Now — I finally have the proof. 🧵 [1/19]
My colleagues at the @dossier_center have obtained a large internal leak from a Moscow company called the Social Design Agency, or SDA.

It is run by a political operative named Ilya Gambashidze, the Kremlin is contracting him to manufacture scandals.

[2/19] Image
Their work is divided into two parts: online and offline. Online, the SDA writes fake news and posts fake videos. Offline, it pays crews from the Balkans to stage real stunts on European streets. 

It's now abundantly clear that many of Europe's "spontaneous" scandals originated in Moscow.

Your friends in healthy, happy relationships aren’t telling you what it takes to get there because you’d call it cringe and judge them for being gooey …. so i’ll tell you: you need to be approx 10x more willing to melt into silliness and giggles than you think at all times, and
you also need to learn to express anger and be able to healthily confront each other in an un-triggered way where you actually say what you mean, state what you need, and call out your partner on their bullshit

(and allow them to do the same to you)
every time a part of yourself pops up that you are not ready to face, and you retreat into yourself and blame your partner and believe THEY are the source of what you’re feeling when it’s really just an old wound of YOURS that they pressed on, you need to get CURIOUS. Curious!

Can someone please just ask John Swinney this?

“If this is all in the past now and there are no more questions to answer, where’s the £600,000 indyref fund? You’ve got less than £50K in the bank.”
He can’t say Murrell took it, because even if every penny Murrell stole came specifically from that fund - which would be total nonsense anyway as all the SNP’s funds are in one big pot - that would still leave £200K, which is four times as much money as the SNP have in the bank.
Nor can he say it’s “available”, because if a second indyref was somehow granted tomorrow, where he going to get it? Who’s going to lend a near-bankrupt fiscal basket case like the SNP 600 large? They’d never get it back.

1/6 For everyone who's wondered when "real banks" will use blockchain: they already are. The next 18 months will be about how much, on which chains, and under which set of rules.

One of Europe's biggest banks has put its euro stablecoin on XRP. Here's why that matters. 🧵👇

2/6 Société Générale is one of Europe's largest banks. SG-FORGE is its digital asset arm.

In February, it launched a euro-backed digital coin called EURCV on XRP, alongside Ethereum, Stellar and Solana.

Today, it's among the largest euro stablecoins in the world.
3/6 Right now, the U.S. dollar dominates digital money. Most stablecoins are pegged to USD.

Europe is starting to build its own version, on its own rules.

Most college athletes have no idea how the money actually works now.

Two systems. Two checks. Two completely different sets of rules.

And the athletes who understand both are making three times what their teammates are making.

Here's the breakdown. 🧵👇
Here's what every college athlete needs to understand right now 📋

As of July 1, 2025 there are two completely separate ways a college athlete gets paid.

System 1 — Revenue Sharing. Your school pays you directly. Up to $20.5 million split across the entire roster. Goes through university payroll. Grows to $33 million by 2035.

System 2 — NIL. Third parties pay you. Brand deals. Collectives. Endorsements. Appearances. Separate from your school. Separate rules. Separate compliance.

Two systems running simultaneously.

Understanding the difference between them is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over a college career. 💰
Here's the stat that should change how every athlete thinks about their situation 📊

The average Division I athlete earns $28,400 per year.

The average Power 4 starting quarterback earns $2 million+.

Same sport. Same system. Same rules.

Completely different outcomes.

The difference is not talent alone.

It's understanding what you're actually worth —

And having someone in your corner who knows how to get it. 🎯
