Last October he was shot five times here in Thailand.
I used to feed Bog Red Brendan in the jungle daily. He didn’t know what had happened to cause him so much pain.
Today he arrived at his new home… (1/7) 🧵

At first I didn’t even know he’d been shot. I fed him every day but it looked like a dog fight at first.
X rays soon proved it was bullets. 5 of them. He was very lucky. I took him straight in (2/7)

He was our first ever patient in Tina’s hospital and the vets got the bullets out.
He is a little wary of humans but his health quickly returned and we set out to find him a safe home (3/7)

A Market Wizard with 51 years in the game just did the math on your dream.
Out of 1,000 people who try to become traders, 2 or 3 make it.
He told the room anyway, then explained exactly how he became one of them.
Here are 7 takeaways from his talk ↓

The last generation that fought World War Two is disappearing.
But something else may be disappearing with them. The understanding of what they actually fought for.
Recent surveys suggest many young adults already struggle to place some of the most basic events of the war.
This is what's quietly happening to these memories..🧵1/7

There were once more than 16 million American veterans of World War Two.
They filled the factories and the parades, coached the baseball teams, taught in the schools, and ran for office.
For most of the last eighty years, if you wanted to know what the war was truly like, you could simply ask one. They were everywhere.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs projects that only around 31,000 are still alive. Fewer than one in 500 of those who served.
Soon, there will be nobody left who remembers the landing craft lowering their ramps toward the beaches, the bombers forming up by the hundreds in the cold morning sky, or the telegram arriving at the front door that a family had prayed would never come.
And we are not ready for what happens when the last of those voices falls silent.

World War Two is still taught in schools, and that matters.
But for many students, one of the largest and most consequential events in all of human history is compressed into a handful of pages near the back of a textbook.
Pearl Harbor. D-Day. Hiroshima. Victory.
A map with arrows. A list of dates to memorize for the examination, and then the class moves on to the next unit.
The problem is not that the facts are wrong.
The problem is that facts alone were never how this was meant to be remembered.
A textbook can tell you that around 2,400 Americans died at Pearl Harbor, or that the first wave at Omaha Beach suffered terrible casualties in the opening minutes.
What it cannot easily do is make you feel the weight of a single one of those men.
The nineteen-year-old who woke up that morning with no idea it was his last.
The friends who watched him go.
The facts can be printed on a page.
The human reality has to be handed down, person to person, and that chain is close to breaking.

@RevTChristopher These are good questions, but I think the answer varies according to state and district.
One key difference between Black Republicans and Black Democrats is that Black Republicans are still ambitious to serve the people, so they seek higher office, with chance of losing.

@RevTChristopher Black Democrats seem to like their set-aside safe seats, dying in office and leaving their constituents without representation.
Voters decide.
If they reelect an ineffective octogenarian, that’s their choice.

Yes it's Americas fault that the Euro crisis happened, and that we made Brussels impose austerity rather than stimulus after 2008.
True story.

We also made you adopt Luddite energy policies, cause God knows if it's one thing Americans hate? It's oil and gas.
California easily has the most expensive electricity the country, yet would have the cheapest electric rates in the EU were it a member nation

What was the Kursk operation really like? You can find some information about it online, but details of how it started are rarely public.
So we want to tell you a story about Mykhailo, callsign Mi9, our hero from the 80th Assault Brigade. He was one of the first soldiers to cross the Ukrainian border and make history in Kursk.
So we want to tell you a story about Mykhailo, callsign Mi9, our hero from the 80th Assault Brigade. He was one of the first soldiers to cross the Ukrainian border and make history in Kursk.
He was born in Mykolaiv Oblast, but at the start of the full-scale invasion, he was serving a sentence in a correctional colony in Chernihiv Oblast… When Russian forces entered the area in February 2022, colony staff released the prisoners and allowed them to fight for Chernihiv.
Once those lands were liberated, the prisoners were told they still had to serve out their terms. Mykhailo says that's fair — you serve the punishment for what you did. So he returned without complaint.
While still in prison, he read about how the 80th Brigade was liberating his hometown in Mykolaiv Oblast. When Mykhailo was finally released in 2023, he went straight to the recruitment office and asked specifically for the 80th Brigade. They took him without hesitation.

I've trained 1500+ managers. Two skills make or break them: setting expectations and holding people accountable. But both take hours to get right, so they rationalize skipping them. AI removes the friction, not the conversation. Here's the old way vs the new way:
1. Setting expectations, old way:
90 minutes drafting a role scorecard, sent Friday, read Monday. By Wednesday you're aligned on 60% and "circling back" on the rest.
It felt like a good start. But it created three weeks of clarifying meetings instead of actual clarity.

2. Setting expectations, new way:
Paste in the JD, last two reviews, and team OKRs into AI. 'Draft 5 outcomes this person owns this quarter and the 3 behaviors that produce them.'
You're making final edits in 5 minutes, and the doc lands cleanly. You still own the final call.

Did you know there’s a moment in your salah when Allah’s response changes?
There is a moment in every salah that many people rush through…
Yet Allah Himself responds to it.
In the Hadith Qudsi, Allah responds to each verse of Surah Al-Fatihah as His servant recites it.

But when you reach:
(Iyyāka naʿbudu wa iyyāka nastaʿīn)
“You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.”
Allah says:
“This is between Me and My servant, and My servant will have what he asks for.” (Sahih Muslim)
This is a powerful reminder to slow down.

1/2 Although a smaller scale, the quoted @AmyMek post reminds me of the 27 acre JCC (Jaffari Community Centre) development in Thornhill. Already the largest Shia Islamic Centre in North America, they are in the process of developing “Jaffari Village”.
The residential units will continue being owned by a non-profit “Jaffari Village Residences” but purchasers will have a “life lease”. This allows them to sell only to those who meet certain criteria which will “protect the long-term vision of Jaffari Village, fostering a sense of belonging among residents who share a common foundation of faith and lifestyle.”

“The ambitious master-planned expansion of the Islamic Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat (ISIJ) of Toronto, is more than just a development project”
“Jaffari Village represents a milestone in purposeful living.”

The center has a resident scholar/Imam Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi, and a women’s religious advisor Sr. Tahera Kassamali. She “provides religious guidance for women based on the Islamic Shariah and Ja’fari Madhhab tenets.”.
