Yesterday, @EnergyUKcomms caught a bad case of Net Zero Derangement Syndrome by claiming that removing carbon taxes will increase bills. A thread (1/n) Image
They first claimed that decarbonisation and economic growth go hand-in-hand. But data from OWID shows that faster decarbonisation leads to slower growth (2/n) Image
They went on to claim that scrapping the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) would increase gas demand by 25%. This claim would mean almost doubling the amount of gas used for electricity, which is implausible (3/n) Image

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds.

Not a guess. Not a theory.

A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it.

Samsung TVs: every minute.
LG TVs: every 15 seconds.

Even when you're just using it as a monitor.

Here's how to turn it off for every brand:
First, what's actually happening.

Your TV has a hidden feature called ACR- Automatic Content Recognition.

Think of it like Shazam, but for your screen.

It takes tiny snapshots of whatever you're watching. Sends a fingerprint to the company's servers. They match it to figure out exactly what's on your screen.

Every show. Every channel. Every game. Second by second.
This isn't speculation.

Researchers at UC Davis, University College London, and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid tested Samsung and LG TVs.

Published in the 2024 ACM Internet Measurement Conference.

They captured all the network traffic leaving these TVs.

Samsung sent data to its ACR servers every minute.
LG sent data every 15 seconds.

Paper: "Watching TV with the Second-Party: A First Look at Automatic Content Recognition Tracking in Smart TVs"

@DailyMail In 2006, during a heatwave, I fainted twice at home after having had diarrhoea for 24 hrs. I managed to get to my local walk-in centre before fainting again while trying to book in. I then spent about an hour drifting in & out of consciousness, lying on the floor on oxygen.1/
@DailyMail I heard the receptionist calling to ask where the ambulance was, bc "she's getting worse". Eventually the ambulance arrived, by which time I was able to sit up & talk. When we arrived at A&E, I was triaged & sent back out to the waiting room for OOH GP instead. 2/
@DailyMail As I walked past A&E reception, the rcptnist called me over to ask if I was the girl who arrived by ambulance when there was nothing wrong, & then proceeded to shout @ me for wasting NHS resources. I tried explaining I was unconscious when it was called, then sat down, shaken. 3/

1/ As Russia prepares to celebrate Victory Day, its death toll from the ongoing war in Ukraine is so enormous that in parts of the country it is approaching or exceeding the number of casualties sustained in World War II. Vast memorials are being installed across the country. ⬇️
2/ In Naberezhnye Chelny, a recently inaugurated memorial (video above) commemorates the dead of four wars. A single column contains 67 names of those who died in Afghanistan and Chechnya. 800 more names are listed for Ukraine, covering 16 columns.
3/ Another memorial in Kyzyl, the capital of the republic of Tuva, lists 1,332 of the 1,700 residents who are known to have died in the war. Tuva, like other Russian ethnic republics, has suffered a disproportionate number of casualties. Image

8 Types of Men That WOMEN NEVER Leave

Thread 🧵

1. A man who doesn't give a fucck. Image
1. A man who doesn't give a fucck.

This doesn't mean being careless or disrespectful, not at all. It means being emotionally independent.

Most men crumble in the face of a woman's silence, indifference, or withdrawal.
But the man she can't walk away from is the one who doesn't bend over backwards to please her.

He has his own world, his own priorities, ambitions, his own code, and he refuses to betray it for anyone.

If she pulls away, he doesn't chase her, he LETS GO.

Jason Statham is 58. He still does his own stunts in his films.

His director on Beekeeper said: "I've done a lot of action, but he took me to school."

7 things Statham does that anyone could copy: Image
Image
1. Train before excuses start.

Statham trains early. His rule: "Get out of bed and just do it. That way you'll never find an excuse not to."

The day's energy ledger is set before email, traffic, and phone calls touch you.
2. 35 minutes. Six days a week.

That's Statham's documented routine. "Six days a week, 35 minutes a day."

Shorter than most lunch breaks. The body adapts to consistent reps, not heroic Saturdays. Image

OVERTHINKING IN ISLAM

Did you know The Prophet ﷺ taught a way to stop overthinking before it turns into anxiety?
Overthinking isn’t just “thinking too much.”

It’s a loop:
A thought → doubt → fear → more thoughts → more fear.

Until your chest feels tight and your heart feels tired.
Islam breaks that loop early.
The Prophet ﷺ didn't suggest you "journal" your intrusive thoughts or "negotiate" with them.

He taught a Hard Reset.

"If one of you experiences doubts let him stop it." (Bukhari)

Not analyze it. Not explore it.
Not spiral.

Stop it.

This is what modern psychology calls thought interruption.

Recap of tonight's Hormuz Crisis Expert Panel:

Tonight I hosted a 2.5 hour expert panel on the Hormuz crisis. Eight speakers across military strategy, energy markets, information warfare, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Kurdish frontline from a journalist on the ground in Iraq, and a voice from inside Iran that will stay with everyone who heard it. Without editing or applying my opinion, here is what was covered and said.
MILITARY (Matt Tardio @angertab , 18C 10th SFG)

Matt opened with the strategic picture: Iran is controlling two critical waterways through terror tactics, the Red Sea via the Houthis and the Strait of Hormuz directly. The combination of both would be catastrophic for global trade, especially the EU. He emphasized that 50,000+ US troops, 200+ aircraft, and two carrier strike groups are deployed. This is the largest US force posture in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion. The ceasefire exists on paper but skirmishes are continuous. Both sides are demonstrating capability as leverage for negotiations.
KURDISH SITUATION (Wladimir van Wilgenburg, journalist based in Iraqi Kurdistan @vvanwilgenburg )

Wladimir reported live from the ground.
21 people killed in Iraqi Kurdistan since February 28 from Iranian drone strikes. Iranian Kurdish parties have approximately 10,000 fighters willing to operate against the regime but are awaiting a green light from the US and Israel. Despite the April 8 ceasefire, Iran continues daily drone attacks on Kurdish opposition parties. Three attacks on three different Kurdish parties happened today alone. Iraq is pressuring Kurdish authorities to move these opposition groups away from border areas. Trump has discussed arming protesters through Kurdish channels, but Kurdish sources deny receiving weapons and argue distribution would be nearly impossible logistically.

I’m only addressing this @AOC shit once I looked up to her just like many others on the left but when she started selling out over Palestine it was a wrap. Secondly I already stated I haven’t had a conversation with her in 4 years literally! She her team her staff whoever
Has had direct contact with me in the past. The reason I can’t fuck with these democrats is because they all knew I was in Prison 9 months ago in Israel and said absolutely nothing! With the exception of Rashida and Summer Lee! @AOC and @ZohranKMamdani 1000 percent knew.
They not under fucking rocks instead they tap dance and cherry pick on what to speak out about and that’s not genuine solidarity. I was just detain coming back from Cuba a month ago another opportunity ain’t heard a thing.

The promised thread is here!!!!

To explain why hudson's introduction to the fashion world wasn't a casualty we'll have to go back in time to him signing with CAA.

This is a LONG timeline guys so grab your coffee, tea, wine, whatever and keep up! 👇
Idk if you remember, but when our Starboy was in Milan (god what a time) he had lunch with a CEO the day after the Dsquared2 show.

That man babes it's the Purple Pr CEO, this it's the LARGEST and one of the most important PR agencies in the fashion world.
An example: you want to make and add for Versace with Adriana Lima shoot by some important photographer, in a certain location, well they do it.
