1/ The Russian warblogger 'Fighterbomber', a retired Russian air force pilot, is taking heavy flak from other warbloggers for disclosing a fuel delivery to Crimea that the Ukrainians promptly blew up. "Go fuck yourself. Preferably holding hands," he responds. ⬇️ 
2/ On 17 June, in an apparent attempt to refute widespread accounts of fuel shortages in Crimea, 'Fighterbomber' wrote on his Telegram channel: "The audience is saying that fuel has arrived in Crimea. Lots of it. There's more coming. 😍"
3/ Three days later, Ukrainian forces struck the Kerch oil terminal's fuel depot, causing a major fire. An official Ukrainian Telegram channel trolled Fighterbomber by crediting the warblogger for the strike (it's unlikely that he had any influence on it).
Shilajit is NOT a Testosterone booster, it is a mitochondrial enhancer, which is where it truly shines.

DBPs in Shilajit (and why they're so interesting)
Most people talk about how Shilajit contains a lot of trace minerals and Fulvic acid.
But the most interesting compounds that can be found in Shilajit are the DBPs, which are also known as:
Dibenzo-alpha-pyrones
let me explain👇

But the most interesting compounds that can be found in Shilajit are the DBPs, which are also known as:
Dibenzo-alpha-pyrones
let me explain👇
Why are these DBPs so beneficial?
there are 3 big reasons
(boring science warning)
NUMBER ONE:
they're 'Quinone-like' compounds
DBPs are technically not Quinones, because they do not have the structure of a Quinone (their core structure is a fused tricyclic lactone and not a cyclic dione)
But they act like quinones in redox reactions, electron transport, and mitochondrial function due to how they cycle between three redox states (reduced, semiquinone radical, and oxidized/quinone-like forms).
Accepting electrons from Complex I and II → then carrying those electrons to Complex III → in Complex III the electrons are donated and carried to Complex IV where the electrons are handed off to Oxygen preventing electrons to accumulate at Complex III and excess ROS to be produced
NUMBER TWO:
They work in tandem with CoQ10
CoQ10 shuttles electrons between Complex I/II & III but can be easily oxidized back from Ubiquinol (active CoQ10) back into Ubiquinon (oxidized form) under stress.
DBPs prevent the oxidation of Ubiquinol into Ubiquinon, and keep CoQ10 in its reduced form, protecting it from oxidative stress.
What does this mean?
Ubiquinol stays active for a longer time duration in the ETC (electron transport chain) causing less electron leakage and increased ATP production
↓
Ubiquinol is kept in the reduced form and its ability to neutralize free radicals is extended because of how Ubiquinol acts as antioxidant
↓
Mitochondrial membrane potential is now better preserved
↓
Energy production stays stable and efficient under stress, heavy exercise or even prolonged period of focus and attention
↓
Can handle more exercise, more work and even more emotional stress
(more on how Shilajit/DBPs enhance brain energy through improved mitochondrial function of the PFC later in this thread)
NUMBER THREE:
Mitophagy benefits of DBPs
Mitophagy is the process where your cells detect/recycle damaged/dysfunctional mitochondria through autophagy which prevents excessive ROS/oxidative stress and ensures that inefficient mitochondria are cleared away, keeping energy production efficient.
This helps to prevent fast aging, low energy and diseases.
So how does Shialjit enhance mitophagy through DBPs?
One of the primary DBPs in Shilajit is:
‘3,8-dihydroxy-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-6-one’
this DBP is chemically similar to Urolithin A
It stabilizes PINK1 on damaged mitochondria, which then helps to recruit ‘Parkin” which then makes the mitochondria a visible target for mitophagy by attaching ubiquitin chains to the many proteins that sit on the outer membrane of the mitochondria.

United States v. Allen
(WHCA Dinner Shooter)
Judge McFadden DENIES the defense's motion to disqualify @USAttyPirro and @DAGToddBlanche from the case.
(WHCA Dinner Shooter)
Judge McFadden DENIES the defense's motion to disqualify @USAttyPirro and @DAGToddBlanche from the case.
Defense had argued that Blanche and Pirro being at the scene of the alleged crime and publicly commenting on it had created a conflict.
The four main arguments were the following:
(1) Their presence at the WHCA Dinner made them witnesses (both reported hearing the gunshots)
(2) Their presence at the WHCA Dinner made them potential victims of Allen (according to the gov't's theory of the case), (both reported that they were in the “line of fire” and had to be evacuated)
(3) Blanche and Pirro's statements to media about the events at the WHCA Dinner were prejudicial and showed bias
(4) Citing the longtime friendship of Trump and Pirro, Trump being the alleged intended victim, and Pirro being the prosecutor, this created an appearance of impropriety.

Judge McFadden addresses argument (1)—Blanche and Pirro were witnesses.
"...whatever firsthand knowledge they have about Allen’s actions appears limited to what anyone in the ballroom would have..."
"...absent special circumstances, an attorney can “elect in which capacity [he] intend[s] to proceed, either as counsel or as a witness.” Because neither side indicates that it plans to call Blanche or Pirro as a witness, the advocate-witness rule poses no concerns."

1/ Dozens of specialist workers were likely killed or wounded in today's Ukrainian strike in Voronezh. Russian warbloggers are dismayed, complain that the Russian government is ignoring it, and call for London to be nuked in retaliation. ⬇️
2/ Heavy missiles (it's not yet clear what type; the Russian warbloggers assume a UK/French Storm Shadow or SCALP/ER) have caused heavy damage and raging fires at the Voronezh Semiconductor Devices Plant, a vital element of Russia's missile production chain.
3/ The regional governor says that five people are known to have died, with dozens more injured. He says that while most were able to take shelter and survived, many ignored the alert and were caught up in the attack.

@theSNP 1. It wd be child's play to remind you of your broken promises, we all know what you did & didn't do. However, Independence is the priority of a majority of 🏴, so with that in mind I suggest
@theSNP 2. (a) You reintroduce competent gov't comprising the immediate implementation of the SC decision; utilise the knowledge within our movement to launch national energy & housing companies; consult seriously right now on education, addiction & poverty with those who know the score
@theSNP 3 (b) Launch the Independence Convention - not a convention on the right to decide - but a convention representing all credible voices in our movement, including voluntary groups with proven records of dedication to our cause

What was perhaps most remarkable was that the blue team did not even realize the attack had begun. By the time they emerged and asked when the exercise was going to start, the engagement had already been completed and adjudicated. 2/13
As a result of that experience, in 2026 Ukraine was invited not only to participate but also to help design the entire scenario. Ukrainian officers were asked to support both the red team and the blue team. 3/13
