Yelizarov, founder of drone battalion that destroyed $14B worth of Russian equipment: Risk of tactical nuclear use is real. Partners must define a response in advance.
If Ukraine raises efficiency and enemy losses, it could demoralize Russia and enable a counteroffensive.

Yelizarov: Russia faces manpower shortages. Ukraine could inflict more losses, but targets are limited.
Current Russian losses are about 30–35k per month. If Russia pushes harder, losses rise; if it slows down, they stay around that level.

Yelizarov: Ukraine lost drone advantage. In 2022–23 we stopped Russia and stabilized the front, but didn’t retake territory.

Bonya is not an opposition politician or activist. She lives near Monaco and sells vegan cosmetics and clothing.

Her video is not a call to revolutio, but the reaction to it is more telling than its content. Gennady Zyuganov, leader of the Communist Party, told deputies that the video should be taken seriously if the Kremlin wants to avoid another Bolshevik revolution. 3/
Keane: Three weeks into a ceasefire, a deal acceptable to Trump still looks far away.
The reason is simple: the Iranians do not really want a deal. They are playing for time, betting political and economic pressure on Trump will force concessions or make him walk away. 1/

Keane: Keep the blockade, but go back to military operations. When the ceasefire began, about two weeks of assigned objectives still remained.
Central Command has doubled its capability, Israel has replenished munitions, and the next campaign can be far more aggressive. 2/

Keane: Some will argue the blockade alone can break Tehran. Trump rejects that. The regime’s only objective is to survive and stay in power.
Economic collapse, blackouts, gas lines, civilian suffering — none of that will make it give in. That is exactly who they are. 3/

Mr. @leemonbaird and @ManceHarmon my dad asked me to notify you that there is an error on your grant application form. It falsely is detecting “no address” on my father’s grant, w/ address inputted. Can programmers resolve? My dad will resubmit at a later date. God bless you.
No on the screenshot his lab’s address has been removed for privacy, but on the real application he used his lab address and it still shows as “this field is required” even though the address was inputted. He also used my a test address in a different county, my Grandma’s …
Same outcome with the test address. We are standing by via DM’s or at his publicly searchable contact information for next instructions.

Big Pharma's newest cash printer:

They're supposed to be "life-saving" heart drugs, but actually systemically destroy your body.

1. The $14 billion money engine
Statins generate $14.1 billion annually
It projects to hit $17.3 billion by 2027.

2. Muscle breakdown is real
10% of users deal with:
• soreness
• weakness
• muscle pain
In extreme cases, it progresses to muscle breakdown and damages your kidneys.
Statins reduce CoQ10 — a compound your muscles rely on for energy.

Supply Shock & Inflation: Traditional turn of the year price increases, the lagged impact from tariffs with a layer of inflation driven by the adverse supply shock unleashed by the war is making for a very mean year.

Think tariffs don't cause inflation? Think again take a look at the cost of goods sensitive to tariffs. Remember that many firms pulled forward inventory accumulation into early 2025 to avoid trade taxes. Those inventories are being rebuilt now with the trade taxes layered on top. More inflation is incoming.
Don't like core PCE because it does not fit your narrative? Ok, take a look at the topline. Note that three month average at an annualized pace. Remember that this is the Fed's metric that they use to make policy.
So you want to engineer your hiPSCs, but targeting DNA payloads requires multiple slow, inefficient steps for each construct. What if we could accomplish multi-site integration seamlessly? Come hear about STRAIGHT-IN Dual now out at Nature Biomedical Engineering! 🧵

STRAIGHT-IN Dual enables simultaneous, allele-specific, single-copy integration of two DNA payloads with 100% efficiency within one week. Engineering the landing pad (LP) with a promoter trap supports 100% efficiency through selection (e.g. burn-the-hay strategy). (2/n)
STRAIGHT-IN Dual employs a single recombinase, Bxb1, to integrate two donor plasmids carrying payloads using the attP/attB-GT and -GA sites. Positive selection enables the enrichment of cells carrying the payloads from ~1% to ~100%. (3/n)

Falk & Tsoukalas (2026) show that even with perfect foresight, rational firms automate themselves into a demand crisis. Each firm gains; all firms lose. That’s not a bug. That’s competitive capitalism’s logic.
Their model: workers spend wages → automation destroys wages → demand collapses → even owners are worse off. The Nash equilibrium is Pareto-dominated by cooperation.
Sound familiar?
Marx described this 150+ years ago: capitalism’s contradictions destroy its own conditions (falling rate of profit, surplus extraction, crisis).
The paper’s model is Marx with equations.
