In WW2, breaking the enemy's codes was the highest priority.
Enter Bletchley Park - a secret estate bought with £6,000 of private funds to crack the "unbreakable" German Enigma codes.
Margaret Godfrey was one of the very first women at "the park."

The highest priority in wartime is to break the enemy's codes and ciphers; and in the case of the Second World War, the various German enigma codes.
A special site was therefore required outside of London to crack the various encrypted messages between the different German services and the High Command, as well as between Hitler and his Secret Service (Abwehr).

In the summer of 1938 Hugh Sinclair (pictured), the then head of MI6, purchased the estate of Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, once the country house of Sir Herbert Leon.
Not wishing to wait for delays in the government releasing funds, Sinclair used £6,000 of his own private funds to buy the estate which became colloquialised as 'the park'.
It provided the codebreakers and cryptanalysts with a discreet country location, within easy travelling distance by train of London.
In August 1938, 'Captain Ridley's shooting party' arrived there; in reality this was a cover for the men and women expecting to undertake the task of codebreaking.
When war did not break out that summer, they were sent away again.

United States v. Arnold et al.
NEW: Federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment last week in the criminal case against a North Texas Antifa Cell.
The case is remarkable because it is the first time an Antifa group has been hit with terrorism charges.

On the night of July 4, 2025, near Alvarado, Texas, the Prairieland ICE Detention Facility, vehicles at the facility, federal agents, and responding Alvarado police officers were attacked by a group of almost a dozen people.
The attack was part vandalism, part ambush.
The attack was part vandalism, part ambush.
It was a coordinated assault, with several groups of attackers.
One group used fireworks to distract/disorient/suppress law enforcement, while another group vandalized structures and vehicles, and yet another group ambushed law enforcement with firearms.

BREAKING: Magistrate orders DOJ to turn over grand jury materials to Comey, finding real prospect that "government misconduct" may have tainted the case.
MORE: The magistrate said an FBI agent who may have viewed Comey's privileged materials was nevertheless permitted to present evidence to the grand jury — a "highly irregular" decision and "radical departure" for DOJ. He was the only witness at the GJ. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
👀Fitzpatrick said Halligan made two apparent "fundamental misstatements of law" to the grand jury that could threaten the case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

High CORTISOL? Here are 7 KEY DIET PRINCIPLES to keeping it in check (🧵1/8).
#1 Minerals
Magnesium + potassium lower cortisol by ~40%. [study]
These are our two primary calming minerals, helping cells relax properly, especially those in the:
➠ Brain (hypothalamus)
➠ Pituitary
➠ Adrenals
which limits the excessive production of cortisol.

➠ Adrenals
which limits the excessive production of cortisol.
Salt is very important here, too.
An extra teaspoon of salt dramatically reduces stress.
Sufficient salt:
• Cuts adrenaline in half
• Cuts noradrenaline in half
• Lowers cortisol
• Lowers aldosterone
• Lowers angiotensin II
While typically dietary recommendations are to eat 2300 mg sodium, more than double that decreases these stress hormones.
Just make sure you get a good quality salt and plenty of other minerals as well.

#2 Carbs
A lack of glucose (carbohydrate) drives the stress response.
The brain’s hypothalamus has cells that increase CRH in response to low glucose levels, which activates:
1. HPA axis (cortisol)
2. Sympathetic nervous system (adrenaline)
Both of which stimulate the hormone glucagon as well.
These hormones stimulate our body’s creation of glucose.
This is why eating carbohydrate or sugar acutely lowers the stress cascade,
and restriction of carbs promotes it.

Dr. Oz encouraged physicians to speak up courageously on unpopular issues
“We are the ballast of society” – doctors have a civic duty to steady the ship when it’s heading toward the abyss.

BUT, a number of different rules allow the DoJ to withhold information *at their discretion* without even informing Oversight.

In classical economics the bust is often attributed by the British writers to “overtrade”, and this is often magnified by excessively loose monetary policy. But it can happen without excessive loose monetary or fiscal policy... archives 👇

You can spot that in the writings from Thomas Tooke in 1826 about the BoE buying some exchequer bills in 1823 repressing rates and creating an overtrade situation in the mining scheme in Central and South America culminating with the “poyais” fictitious country.

Those bitching about Nima Yamini, who may be a little bit emotional for my taste, is proving his claim.
Every response to him is some crap about how Ashkenazi are the smartest or deserve all the credit for the state of Israel. This shit is insulting to other types of Jews.

The problem is not within the different Jewish subgroups themselves; it's with a lack of education. Most Ashkies received European style education, which generally erases the rest of Jews. So they come off sounding ignorant about other Jewish cultures. The answer is study.
Instead of having a visceral reaction about how Yamini or others offended you, how about you look into their perspective?
He literally never made any claims about all ashkenazim. This started off talking about Ben Shapiro...

Let’s look at 5 alternatives that deserve a spot in your strategy👇
1. Push Notifications
Push notifications get overlooked because brands assume they’re annoying. But if you use web push or have an app (even just for loyalty or tracking orders) this is a great way to re-engage.
They cut through the clutter and don’t require customers to be inside their inbox. In fact, push has an average open rate of 90% (compared to 20-25% for email).
When to use them:
-Abandoned cart alerts (“You left something behind. Still want it?”)
-Back-in-stock or low-stock notifications
-Last-chance reminders for sales or expiring rewards
-Order delivery or fulfillment updates
Pro tip: Add some urgency to your push notifications to drive more clicks. Avoid being spammy, though. Personalize based on behavior or let users set preferences for the frequency or types of alerts they want to receive.

2. Calendar Invites
Customers check their calendars daily. When you give them the option to schedule reminders or upcoming events, you embed your brand into a system they already trust.
Most brands never even consider this, but it's a surprisingly effective tactic, especially for wellness, beauty, food, and fitness brands.
When to use them:
-Subscription reminders (e.g. water filters, coffee beans, pet food)
-Product usage timelines (e.g. “Apply every 2 weeks” or “Replace monthly”)
-Community events, drops, or seasonal launches
-Booking follow-ups or service reminders
And unlike email reminders, calendar invites don’t get buried. They pop up on time, every time.
