1/💊In February 2025, a massive Swedish national cohort study was published — and it STILL isn't getting the attention it deserves.

Antidepressants, especially SSRIs, were linked to FASTER cognitive decline, increased fractures, and earlier death in dementia patients.

Here's what you need to know 🧵↓Image

2/9
The numbers are stark:

◾ Escitalopram → steepest annual cognitive decline (−0.76 MMSE points/yr)
◾ Higher SSRI doses → 35% increased risk of severe dementia
◾ 25% increased fracture risk
◾ 18% increased mortality

This wasn't a small survey. It was one of the most rigorous studies of its kind.

And yet — a year later, these drugs are STILL prescribed based on the "chemical imbalance" theory of depression.

A theory that even mainstream psychiatry is quietly walking away from.

There is no convincing evidence that low serotonin causes depression. The foundation is broken.

I despise the mollah regime, but killing Khamenei was a miscalculation, typical FAFO move. He was the highest living Chiite religious figure, killing him is akin to eliminating the pope or the Dalai Llama. This is not how you creat the conditions for a popular uprising.
1/5
And unsurprisingly the new IRGC head Vahidi is a hardened blood thirsty radical, makes the previous eliminated commander Pakpour look like Mother Theresa in comparison. True Larijani is pragmatic and he is now central to how things move forward, but killing the highest cleric
2/5
does not create favorable conditions for an uprising. This is a time of national mourning and solidarity for Iranians. It also makes immediate compromise less palatable. And it achieves exactly nothing as succession was planned and he was 86, so was almost there anyway

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just gave Claude Code a complete software development brain.

It's called Superpowers and it makes Claude plan, test, and ship code without going off the rails.

No junior dev babysitting. No context loss. No hallucinated plans.

100% Opensource. Image
Superpowers is an agentic skills framework that gives Claude Code a full engineering workflow out of the box:

- Brainstorming (spec before code)
- Implementation planning (bite-sized tasks)
- Subagent-driven development (parallel execution)
- TDD enforcement (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR, no shortcuts)

All triggered automatically. You don't configure anything.
Here's what makes it different:

Most AI coding setups let Claude jump straight to writing code.

That's where everything goes wrong.

Superpowers forces Claude to:
→ Ask what you're actually building
→ Write a spec you can read in chunks
→ Build a plan clear enough for a junior dev to follow
→ Test before claiming it works

Structure first. Code second.

The Middle East is literally on fire. Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei is killed. US-Israel strikes. Missiles raining on Gulf states. The world is watching a civilizational crisis unfold in real time.

And Indians are sleeping peacefully tonight.

Ask yourself; WHY? 🧵 Image
Because of a legacy built BEFORE Modi was even in politics.

🔹 Nehru built Non-Alignment; India never had to pick sides in superpower wars. That principle still protects us

🔹 Indira Gandhi conducted Pokhran-I (1974) & gave India its nuclear deterrence backbone

🔹 Vajpayee gave us Pokhran-II (1998); made India a declared nuclear weapons state

🔹 Manmohan Singh signed the historic Indo-US Nuclear Deal (2008); gave India civilian nuclear legitimacy without surrendering sovereignty

THIS is the shield around India. Built over decades. Not in 10 years of photo ops.
Now contrast that with what Modi actually did:

✅ Gave China a “clean chit” publicly on June 19, 2020; even as 20 of our jawans lay martyred in Galwan

✅ Operation Sindoor was halted by Trump’s Secretary of State Rubio at 5:37 PM on May 10, 2025; not by Modi’s “strength”

✅ Iran war erupts; the entire nation is calling Modi’s response “a betrayal of India’s values and interests”

✅ India apparently agreed to stop Russian oil purchases, but government won’t even confirm it publicly

“Vishwaguru” can’t answer a straight question to the nation. That’s not strength, that’s opacity.

This is from Oct. 13 2016. Trump was due to appear in court on Dec. 16, 2016 PER JUDGE RONNIE ABRAMS’S ORDER for the Katie Johnson rape civil lawsuit.
Yes this is the case that the lying trolls try to claim was “thrown out” or “debunked”. It NEVER WAS.

theguardian.com/us-news/2016/o…
Katie Johnson received death threats and didn’t go through with it. As her lawyer Lisa Bloom said on CNN shortly after. Epstein himself confirms the attempts to discredit and smear Katie Johnson in his emails, we saw and circulated the ones where he is trying to do so.
This is the case that I and many others have e reported on TEN YEARS AGO when it was happening, only to be told “fake news”! by the pedophile Trump protecting trolls who furthered Epstein’s narrative. And people didn’t pay NEARLY enough attention to this back then. Image

Zelenskyy: Russia will never again have the status it once had. The perception of Russia has changed. It is fear, not respect.

Russia will never again have a good relationship with Europe, at least not in the coming years. 1/
Zelenskyy: Ukrainians want the war to end as soon as possible, without ifs and buts. This winter was emotionally exhausting.

But claiming that Ukrainians are ready to give up everything just so Putin stops launching rockets and drones would be wrong. 2/
Zelenskyy: At the beginning Trump and I did not have enough trust in one another and people saw it publicly.

Later our teams found each other better and now there is a better atmosphere. But Trump is not yet ready to exert pressure on Russia. 3/

The world's most dangerous 33 kilometres of water.
One narrow strait.

20 million barrels of crude oil pass through it every single day.
That is 20% of everything the world consumes.

One in every five barrels of oil on Earth moves through this single narrow gap.
If it closes, the world does not just slow down. It stops.

This is the Strait of Hormuz.
And most people have no idea how much it controls their lives.

And right now, it is holding the entire global economy hostage.

The Strait of Hormuz sits between Iran and Oman.
It connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea.

At its narrowest point, it is just 33 km wide.
Two shipping lanes. Each is only 2 miles wide.

That is it. That is the gap the world depends on.
Bookmark and retweet this thread to revisit it later.Image
Every major Gulf oil nation depends on this route.
Saudi Arabia sends 5.5 million barrels a day through it.

Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Iran, all of them.
There is no highway. No alternative canal. No pipeline that replaces it.

This single water body is their only exit to the world.

20% of the world's LNG also passes through here.
Qatar is the world's third-largest gas exporter.

Almost all of Qatar's gas goes through Hormuz.
Europe depends on this gas. Asia depends on this gas.

Disrupt Hormuz. You disrupt the gas supply. You disrupt everything.
Now, let us talk about India specifically.
India imports 85 to 90% of its crude oil.

50% of those imports come through the Strait of Hormuz right now.
That is 2.6 million barrels every single day.

From Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait.
If Hormuz closes, India feels it the next morning.

It is not just oil India has to worry about.
India exported nearly 47.6 billion dollars of non-oil goods to Gulf economies last year.

UAE alone accounts for 28.5 billion dollars of that.
Engineering goods. Gems. Food. Chemicals.

A disruption here hits Indian exports too. Hard.

I told my therapist,

"I feel like I'm falling behind everyone else my age."

She didn't give me comfort.
Hearing her, my whole body went still.

Here's what she just replied:
1. The "Timeline" Illusion

You think life is a race with a single track.
You see someone "ahead" and assume they are winning.
But you are comparing your Chapter 3 to their Chapter 10.
You aren't behind. You are just on a different path with a different destination.
2. You are addicted to "Potential"

You judge yourself not by what you've done, but by what you could have done.
"If I started 5 years ago, I'd be a millionaire."
This is mental torture.
Potential is a ghost. Reality is the only place you can actually build something.

Theres always a baseline of US measles cases, mostly from unvaxxed travelers. Normally, 1 case stays 1... or maybe 5-10, b/c CDC + state/local health depts have staff, funding, & authority to investigate, isolate contacts, and vaccinate in the outbreak zone. cnn.com/2026/02/27/hea…
But under RFK’s HHS, we've seen massive cuts: ~20,000 HHS jobs slashed (including thousands at CDC), funding clawed back from state/local response programs, and mixed/weak messaging on catch-up vaccination & isolation. Result? One case spirals into dozens/ hundreds / thousands. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
We're already at >1,100 confirmed cases in 2026 (on top of 2,281 in 2025 - the worst in decades), w/ outbreaks in dozens of states and US on the brink of losing measles elimination status. Most cases were unvaxxed before RFK was in office, but his response has been a catalyst.

🧵1/ In 2025, the CIA quietly added a document to its public reading room.
Written in 1952. A program to develop chemicals that produce anxiety, depression, docility, and confusion — delivered to subjects without their knowledge.
The targets were not foreign enemies.
They were ordinary Americans.Image
🧵2/ The man who ran the program was simultaneously president of the American Psychiatric Association.
He kept patients in chemically induced sleep for weeks. Erased their identities. Called it therapy.
He was not expelled. He was not prosecuted.
He mentored generations of psychiatrists.
🧵3/ In 1973, the CIA burned the files before investigators arrived.
The researchers went back to their universities. Their hospitals. Their grant applications.
The methods didn't burn. They privatized.
