Houston, we have a problem!
António Guterres, Secretary General of the UN, finds time in his busy schedule to post his support for… IDAHOBIT (Int. Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Transphobia). Image

What is IDAHOBIT, I hear you ask?…

Try and tell me that the UN is not calling the shots in NZ Parliament, via extreme activist groups (that are funded by the taxpayer)… and I won’t believe you.
Because it’s clear they ARE.

Why does Allah call Husband & wife garments?

Not "besties."
Not "soulmates."
Not even "partners."

Just one word- Garments
Allah says:
“They are garments for you, and you are garments for them.”
(Qur’an 2:187)

One word.Libās.
And it carries a meaning most people miss
Allah didn’t choose the word libas randomly.
Because a garment is not just something you wear… it is is something that:
stays closest to you
protects you
covers you
and brings you comfort

That is what a spouse is meant to be.

R.I.P. empty pipelines.
Claude can now automate Alex Hormozi's '100 Rule' for relentless lead generation.

Here are 5 prompts to execute a marketing engine that guarantees daily booked calls for your $25k offer:
1. The 100 Rule Action Plan
"Break down Alex Hormozi's 100 Rule (100 outreach + 100 min content + $100 ads) for my specific business. Give me a daily checklist of exactly what to do, who to message, and what to post to book calls for my $25k offer. Niche: [paste]."
2. The Cold DM Framework
"Write a 3-step Direct Message sequence to send to my ideal clients. Use Hormozi's 'Give, Give, Ask' framework. The goal is to get a reply, not to pitch the $25k offer immediately. Target audience: [paste]."

Most people think $VELO is just another cross-border payment token competing with XRP.

They have not done the research.

Behind this protocol sits one of the most powerful corporate dynasties in all of Asia. A family empire worth tens of billions. 70,000+ retail locations. 48 million mobile customers. Banking alliances forged through literal marriage.

This is Vol. 1 of the VELO Bible Series. The Dynasty. 🧵🐲Image
Start with the Chairman of VELO Labs, Chatchaval Jiaravanon.

Third generation of the Chearavanont family. The family that built the Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group) from a small seed shop in Bangkok's Chinatown in 1921 into one of the most powerful conglomerates in all of Asia.

Today CP Group generates $82 billion in annual revenue across 452,800 employees globally. Agriculture, food, retail, telecommunications, real estate, fintech, and media. Every single sector involves cross-border payments. Every single one benefits directly from VELO infrastructure.

This is not a celebrity endorsement. This is the controlling family.
Let me give you the CP Group scale properly, because most people cannot comprehend it.

15,245+ 7-Eleven locations in Thailand alone through CP All. 20,000+ in Japan through Seven Bank partnerships. 70,000+ total stores globally.

True Corporation, owned by the family, runs 48.8 million mobile customers in Thailand.

CP Foods generates $17 billion annually with supply chain payments flowing across 21 countries.

Chatchaval purchased Fortune Magazine for $150 million in 2018, the same year VELO was founded. He is not a passive figurehead. He is an active capital deployer who identified financial infrastructure as the next major disruption and moved first.

Full thread below 🧵on why the Indiana Fever are a deeply unserious organization. From the FO to coaching staff and media coverage, the Fever are not ready for primetime

They have a generation superstar, men’s or women’s sports, and are absolutely just fumbling so hard

#WNBA
Caitlin Clark is global box office & women’s basketball has never seen a player like her before

She has playmaking like LeBron, passes like Magic Johnson, has range like Steph Curry, and has the mentality like Kobe Bryant

She’s 1/1 and will go down as a transformational athlete
The Fever have been awful for so many years and knew for months they had the #1 overall pick when CC declared and yet in Year 3, they’re still completely unprepared

Going from Lin Dunn to Amber Cox is deeply unserious from a basketball perspective

@OttokarHochman @KeyTryer The thing is that people who are most consistently pro-AI art are not so for based iconoclastic reasons but because, they, like legitimately enjoy it aesthetically (think Facebook boomers)
@OttokarHochman @KeyTryer Though this itself produces cool second order iconoclastic effect where various artists are forced to squeal and cringe and suffer as their pretences to some high transcendental artistic vision is debased and exposed as mere mechanical product without higher value
@OttokarHochman @KeyTryer Like literally the reason AI art is so widespread is because certain types of people actually appreciate it for its aesthetic quality completely unironically. What it does is just exposes the actual aesthetic preferences of the masses

America cannot lead the AI race without building the power and computing infrastructure AI requires. On that I agree completely. But the piece gets the diagnosis wrong — and a wrong diagnosis produces the wrong cure. 🧵
The Gallup poll it cites shows a majority of Americans oppose data centers near their home, including 63% of Republicans. The real enemies of AI are electric utilities that use data centers to jack up rates and GW+ developers that fail to engage communities.
The electricity price comparison also misses the structural problem. Investor owned utilities don’t make money when you use what we have already paid for more efficiently. They only make money when they invest new money even if they don’t need to.

🚨 We recently discovered that an unauthorized party obtained a token with access to the Grafana Labs GitHub environment, enabling the threat actor to download our codebase. (1/6)
Our investigation has determined that no customer data or personal  information was accessed during this incident, and we have found no evidence of impact to customer systems or operations. (2/6)
We immediately initiated forensic analysis and we believe we’ve identified the source of the credential leak. 

We have since invalidated the compromised credentials and implemented additional security measures to further secure our environment against unauthorized access. (3/6)

Everyone is debating whether AI will take jobs.

Wrong question. The right one: where is it showing up first, and how do you tell signal from noise?

Read three pieces this week. The Economist on labour history. Bloomberg on Korea's AI dividend debate. Reuters on India IT.

One signal jumps out.
The Economist's case: no technology in history has produced sustained mass unemployment. Diffusion is slow. Aggregate OECD employment is at record highs. Industrial Revolution wages stagnated because of food prices and the Corn Laws, not because machines stole labour's share.

Solid history. Wrong altitude.
OECD aggregate employment is a lagging indicator. By the time that chart breaks, the political response is already drafted.

The action is one layer down. Sector. Firm. Function. That is where the signal lives now.

We are still trying to place Long COVID into a biologically coherent framework.
This study is interesting because immune activation, antiviral signaling, metabolism, mitochondria, cell survival do not appear as separate findings - but as parts of one connected system🧵
A possible axis is this
something keeps innate immunity on alert - immune cells produce inflammatory signals - their metabolism shifts - mitochondria come under stress - stressed mitochondria can further amplify immune activation.
That is a loop, not a list.
The study compared 50 people with Long COVID with 50 recovered controls around 10 months after SARS-CoV-2.
Both groups had been infected. The key difference was whether symptoms persisted.

Stop telling Claude, “write the function.”
Stop telling Claude, “fix this error.”
Stop telling Claude, “make the tests pass.”

You’re treating a billion-dollar AI engineer like Stack Overflow with autocomplete.

Here are 11 insane coding prompts you can copy-paste right now: Image
The "Senior Engineer Code Review" prompt:

"Act as a staff engineer at Google with 15 years of experience. Review this code for:

→ Hidden bugs and edge cases
→ Performance bottlenecks
→ Security vulnerabilities
→ Architectural smells
→ What you'd reject in a PR review

Be ruthless. Don't sugarcoat anything."

Watch it find issues you didn't know existed.
The "Refactor Without Breaking Shit" prompt:

"Refactor this code with surgical precision:

1. List every function that calls this code
2. Identify all side effects and dependencies
3. Show me a before/after diff
4. Explain what could break in production
5. Write the migration path

Treat this like a deployed system, not a toy project."

This is how senior engineers actually refactor.

HOW THE LORD WORKS MYSTERIOUSLY: 🧵

As you must now know, there was a pro-freedom march in London today.

Led by @TRobinsonNewEra, it was a huge success. According to Metro Police, only 50k showed up.

Does this look like “only” 50k? Lol.

There is a backstory here that…

…involved one of the speakers and goes back more than a decade:

I met Nigerian Anglican Bishop Jwan Zhumbes in seminary. We were immediately drawn to one another by a desire to confront Islam and bring aid to those who suffer at the hands of Muslims.

Knowing I was a… Image

…writer, he invited me to visit his diocese in Nigeria’s Plateau State to see the sheer scale of the terror for myself. Much to his surprise, I accepted and went.

In those days you had to fly into Lagos or Abuja and take the extremely dangerous open roads to the north…. Image
