„The House on Wed. easily passed the annual defense policy bill, sending the mammoth, $900 billion measure to the Senate ahead of the year-end deadline.

@michaeldweiss 2).
The measure, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed the lower chamber by a vote of 312-112. Ninety-four Democrats and 18 Republicans opposed the bill.

@michaeldweiss 3).
The NDAA, a traditionally bipartisan bill that lays out defense priorities for the next year, would increase pay for service members, provide some military aid to Ukraine [1], restrict U.S. investment in China and fully repeal sanctions on Syria, among other things.

“We’ll just go on raids when it all kicks off.”
99% of people saying this have no idea how a real raid actually works.

Here's how raids actually work.🧵

Used from the conventional to the guerilla, the raid is another tool in the toolbox of various operations that can be conducted in the field with a squad sized element. With a history that stretches back to the bronze age, the raid continues to be a strong tactic utilized in the battlespace. Raids, sometimes referred to as, “smash and grabs,” are a fast-hitting attack with an underlying objective that does not involve taking and holding any land for a long period. Raids are the bread-and-butter operation of choice of irregular forces such as guerillas, commandos, militias, and other unconventional warfare elements. The raid is centered around the objective, the objective in question can be singular or plural in nature. The objective can be as simple as supply procurement or destruction to the complex world of psychological warfare. While raids can be scaled to almost any size, this article is going to cover a squad sized element.

As usual, little disclaimer right here.

The Tactics of Raiders:

Surprise.

Several tactics are utilized by attacking forces conducting raids in the field. The central thesis behind it all is surprise and speed. It is almost an inverse of an ambush wherein, with an ambush, the attackers await the enemy to enter their attack zone, the aggressing force pushes into a zone of defenders during a time when they are least prepared. The raiding force generally waits for the enemy to be unsuspecting such as attacking right before nautical dawn, during poor weather, or when enemy routines can be studied and exploited. The raiding force, utilizing the element of surprise, is able to leverage a smaller force against a more well armed, manned, or disciplined enemy.

Hit-and-run.

After the attack is concluded and the objective is carried out, the attacking force uses that same speed and fervor used to push in, to egress from the area. Engagements are kept short to prevent the enemy from mounting an effective counterattack. Ideally, if this can be kept under 10 minutes, long firefights with heavy casualties can be prevented, making escape all the easier. The raiding force should weigh the assets and capabilities of the enemy prior to determining their actual attack plans in order to keep their fighting time as short as possible.

Diversionary Tactics.

Particularly during the egress stage of the raid, a raiding force can make use of distractions in the form of false attacks, distraction devices like flashbangs, decoys, and other types of effective psychological tricks to draw the enemy’s attention away from the combat area, the raiding force, and the objective.

Ambush Integration.

Raiders can leverage their smaller unit size and local area knowledge to stage an ambush, particularly while egressing from the area if there is a pursuant force. Ambushes can be used to not only interdict and destroy enemy forces but also slow them down to ensure the raiding force can increase their distance from the enemy (see my article on ambushes).

United States v. Arnold et al
(North Texas Antifa Cell)

Second Superseding Indictment filed.

This new indictment makes a small edit to the mention of a co-conspirator (not charged in this case, likely cooperating) and adds four pages concerning forfeiture upon conviction.

https://twitter.com/realjusthuman/status/1997108022456250640

The original superseding indictment named Nathan Baumann as the individual Alvarado PD gave commands to.

The second superseding indictment edits this to "a rioter."

Could be they are not 100% sure it was Baumann, as everyone was wearing "black bloc."

Or, maybe they don't want to articulate Baumann, who is uncharged, committing a crime of vandalism to govt property in a filing.

The major update is the forfeitures upon conviction for the nine charged defendants.

GLM-4.6V didn’t feel like an upgrade when I first tried it.

It felt like someone quietly rewired the way we interact with information altogether.

Vision, documents, video, reasoning—everything running through one engine.

Here’s what surprised me the most (with the exact prompts I used): 🧵👇

✓ See Anything, Find Anything

I tossed in a totally chaotic BTS photo—people, signs everywhere—and asked:

“Extract information who play role in "Dreamers" Music video and also provide information of next MV”

Honestly expected a partial mess.

Instead, it detected, boxed, and exported each one in seconds. No confusion, no second tries.

✓Turning Photos Into Clean, Structured Data

A messy handwritten note? It turned it into a clean table.

A crumpled invoice? It gave me an table with perfect row/column logic.

Even faded stamps and seals were recognized.
This is the first time OCR didn’t feel like OCR.

„In July 2024, DHL parcels exploded in logistics centres in the UK, Poland and Germany. Each of them was powerful enough to have brought down a cargo plane had they detonated onboard.

@michaeldweiss 2).
Security services would eventually trace the plot back to a group of Russian-directed saboteurs who had a further 6kg of explosive material in their possession.

@michaeldweiss 3).
That was enough to give them the capability for what security officials told the Financial Times was the next stage of the plan: to attack flights to the US, and cause more disruption to the airline industry than any act of terror since the World Trade Center attacks.

The one thing that I have trouble getting my mind around is how much concrete the 9/11 Inside Job pulverized.

Famously, Gov. George Pataki came to the site and asked the newsman "Where's all the concrete? There's none here. It's all been turned to dust."

And several firemen

asked "Where are the toilets? There were 6,000 toilets in these 2 towers. Where are they?"

So we have to consider that the pulverization of the concrete was a sub-component of this operation - to reduce the amount of rubble to be cleared, and so reduce the amount of time to

clear the site and keep prying eyes from observing the evidence of explosions used to blow up the steel columns. And all that steel was quickly whisked away to China and India. (I'm curious whether the Chinese took photos to have for later to incriminate Rudy Giuliani and the

The concept and importance of cross-branding for models
In today's webcam industry like in and content platforms like OnlyFans and social media, models are increasingly faced with the need to expand their presence beyond a single platform.vibragame.biz

This strategy helps models not only retain existing fans but also attract new ones, ensuring stability and growth in a competitive environment.
What is cross-branding?

Cross-branding is the integration and coordinated promotion of a model's personal brand across multiple platforms and channels simultaneously.
