1/ 🧵 EXPLAINED: “BRICS gold-backed currency” (the UNIT) — and why stackers should care.

Lots of noise. Some signal. Here’s the clean version.👇 Image
2/ First: BRICS has NOT officially adopted a single common currency (despite years of headlines). Even BRICS officials have repeatedly emphasized national-currency settlement over a new shared currency.
3/ So what is “UNIT” actually?
UNIT is best described as a proposed settlement / unit-of-account concept linked to a basket:

✅ gold + ✅ BRICS currencies often tied to the IRIAS framework — but not an official BRICS policy instrument.

On this day in 1865, the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution is ratified, abolishing slavery.

This picture is 25 years after the end of slavery.

How Slavery continued after the 13th amendment ‘abolished slavery’

A THREAD Image
In 1866, a year after the amendment was ratified, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina began to lease out convicts for labor.
This made the business of arresting black people very lucrative, thus hundreds of white men were hired by these states as police officers.

Their primary responsibility being to search out and arrest black peoples who were in violation of ‘Black Codes’

Requested Decode: Son of a Preacher Man Song
1.
This is a song most famous today for its use in Pulp Fiction when Vincent meets Mia.

This was requested over a year ago, I wasn't able to decode it then, but I gave it another try and had success this time. Image
2.
The requester suggested a connection with the MLK assassination as the time-frame is similar and MLK was the "Son of a Preacher Man"

It was a plausible hypothesis, especially since the album is "Dusty in Memphis" and MLK literally died in Memphis the same year, but... Image
3.
How would any of that tie into Pulp Fiction?

There is a connection with MLK given Memphis + year, but the true answer required a deeper dig of major figures in the Civil Rights fight back then.

After all, it wasn't JUST MLK.

Analysis of Russian 🇷🇺 airstrikes north of Sumy in 2025

This year, I've closely followed russian airstrike campaign.

In Sumy, I mapped around 4 000 strikes. With recent satellite images of a small 153 km2, I found 1641 airstrikes impact !

🧵THREAD🧵1/14 ⬇️Image
I found very recent sattelite images from May or June 2025.

What they are showing is really crazy. Multiple airstrikes impacts and wiped out villages, it helps to understand russian strategy. Image
Thus, I have decided to cover this small area of 153km2 with airstrikes visible on the high resolution images of june in white and the ones on mid resolution from october and november in pink.

1641, it's 10.7 per km2 ! Image

Why was the old pentagon press corps so bad?

Why are subject matter experts in the new press corps getting attacked?

David absolutely nails it. Must-watch.

What’s most troubling is this: 🧵
yes, @DavidSacks has conservative views, yes he’s outspoken but he’s also chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology.

Even the far-left in Silicon Valley doesn’t deny his technical credibility.

The fact he’s getting attacked should worry everyone.
I'm dealing with the same thing—millions of views on posts by @ggreenwald and @CAgovernor trying to bully a new Pentagon press reporter who focuses on niche topics. I'm one of a few hundred Americans who hold a Master Unlimited license to captain the largest ships. I've built some of the most technologically advanced ships on earth.Image
