Eric Hoffer was born on this day in 1898(?) in New York City. Called the “longshoreman philosopher,” he spent most of his life as a migrant worker and cargo handler while reading and writing extensively in his spare time. He rose to fame in 1951 with his book The True Believer. /1

Hoffer’s early life is one of the greatest mysteries in modern American literature. No birth certificate, school records or official documents exist from his youth. Everything known about his first 40 years is based solely on his personal narratives, which were often self-contradictory. /2
Hoffer claimed that when he was seven years old, he went blind after falling down a flight of stairs. As a result, he never attended school. However, when he was 15 years old, his eyesight mysteriously returned. Terrified that he would once again go blind, he spent every free hour reading. /3
Those of you who are beholden to the Ancient Aliens theory might want to buckle up. There's just enough evidence to more than suggest Zachariah Sitchin wasn't who you think he was.

Then we get all his books.
Some sites say he changed his name.
Some say he was a high ranking Freemason.

But the biggest red flag for me:
His books fit the Heglian model.
But, his biggest critics say he was used to create the narrative for the purposes of misleading people. Exopolitics dot com connects him to three people feeding him what he was to say.

Most people in the retro PC world have heard of XTIDE, and many are now aware of PicoMEM, but have you heard of the XTMax? I recently learned about it, and decided to pick one up. Let's talk about it in a 🧵 here!
The XTMax was designed by Ted Fried (MicroCore Labs) and is an 8-bit software defined ISA card that expands RAM up to 640KB, adds 16MB of expanded memory, and provides bootable HDD-like access. It uses a Teensy 4.1. And yes, there is PicoMEM rivalry, more on that in a minute.
Here's the back of the card. And here it is installed.. it's rather "wide." I also noticed that it isn't particularly "stable" in the slot, which did cause me some boot errors.

1/ BEETS.
High in nitrates.
Your body turns these into nitric oxide.
This relaxes your blood vessels.
It opens them up for better flow.
Drink the juice or eat them roasted.

2/ FLAXSEEDS.
Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids.
Studies show they inhibit the enzyme that narrows arteries.
They also provide fiber to keep your heart healthy.
Grind them into powder first.
Your body cannot digest the whole seed.

Recently I noticed my spare Micro SD cards stash was getting low. I got to thinking: I have a lot of devices that have much bigger cards than they need, so I bought a bunch of "cheaper" 32GB cards and looked at my retro devices to "reclaim" the bigger cards. Time for a 🧵
First, I looked at my SCSI emulators... both my BlueSCSI and ZuluSCSI Blaster, but quickly realized they don't take Micro SD cards. Next 😂
I pulled out my WirSA modem, and SD2LPT (or whatever it is called) and downgraded both to 32GB cards! Same with my RGBtoHDMI

Okay. Setting things to rights.
THIS.
Think it's the usual wobbly behavioural portrayal in which a predator suicidally fights deadlier prey? Believe that mammalian propaganda has struck again?
I CHECKED THE FRAMES, and I tell you--
YOU'D BE WRONG.

1. WHAT GAVE THE BIRDS THE CONFIDENCE TO ATTACK THE CUVIERONIUS?
The birds saw that Cuvieronius are about the same height as themselves, are herbivorous, have sparse hair, and are four-legged.
To the birds, Cuvieronius resembled...overlarge toxodon. Their brain said 'prey'. (2/9)

2. THE ACTUAL ATTACK. FRAME BY FRAME (LITERALLY).
The attacking bird zigzaged towards the target. At first the bird made it AS IF it was going for the adult.
Either the adult would charge and its momentum would propel it forward, or it would quail and run.
Here it charged. (3/9)

Is modern SpongeBob's art style truly as crazy as people think it is?

If you ask someone to describe 'new SpongeBob', they'll likely talk about exaggerated animation first and foremost. But, is that really true?
What most people consider 'new SpongeBob' is actually fairly old at this point. Season 12 started airing in 2018, nearly 10 years ago!

Seasons 11 and 12 are still what most people think of as 'New SpongeBob,' similar to how anything post first movie will always be "modern SpongeBob" to some people.
Truly NEW SpongeBob (seasons 15-17) are actually much more visually subdued than people think.

Ok so Apax Partners, which links Neville Roy Singham and China involvement, is also linked to Omidyar. And also to Russia too.
Sir Ronald Cohen is a British venture capitalist and philanthropist known as the co-founder and former executive chairman of Apax Partners Worldwide.
Under the leadership of Sir Ronald Cohen, the Global Steering Group (GSG) partnered with the Omidyar Network.
And also, as I mentioned in a post under Data Republicans, APAX is linked to the $10 billion Russian state investment fund.
“Martin Halusa, the chairman of London's Apax Partners LLP, and Joseph Schull the European chief of Warburg Pincus, disappeared from the Russian fund's website (after US sanctions).”

Who controls Kostiantynivka 🇷🇺/🇺🇦 ?
There is a very big debate to know who really controls the city of Kostiantynivka, in the Donbas region.
Many maps are showing the city as Russian controled, which in my opinion is not true, as I will explain it here.

I gathered geolocations for the last 40 days in the city, from @UAControlMap, mainly done by @AudaxonX.
Those geolocations show flag videos, air, artillery and drone strikes as well as assault videos.
3 things you should know :
🔸We only see 5% maximum of the real situation on videos, those are known positions at a given moment, which is nowhere close to the reality on the ground.
🔸There is an important image assymetry. Russia is posting more videos of flags and few strikes while Ukraine doesn't publish flag videos but publish much more strikes. Thus, I have 146 places where Russian are confirmed present, against 94 Ukrainian. This doesn't mean there are more Russians than Ukraine, Russia published 70 videos of flags !
🔸On the map, we have plenty of areas undereported, with few Ukrainian positions when we know there are many or few Russian positions when we know there are many.

According to my observations, the situation is a 70/90 :
Ukrainian troops are present in 70% of the city while Russian troops are present in 90% of the city.
According to my informations, there are still more Ukrainians than Russians in the city, but the situation continues to worsen.

🚨 The First Circuit will not allow USPS to adopt final mail-ballot rules or DHS to distribute federal citizenship lists for the 2026 elections in 23 states and D.C., leaving in place an order blocking key parts of President Trump's election executive order.
The panel wrote that the plaintiff states are already suffering concrete injuries because they must prepare now for the 2026 elections. The court pointed to diverted election staff, compliance planning, and imminent costs from redesigning mail-ballot systems and envelopes.
It rejected the administration's argument that the challenge is premature because USPS hasn't finalized its rules. Election officials cannot "wait and see," the court said, because administering statewide elections requires months of advance planning.

Using older ref. footage a video showing the moment of an (audible) blast can be geolocated to the nearby journalists tent.
The video is timestamped at 13:52, which appears consistent with the earliest reports of the attack: t.me/hpress/494310
