The reaction of Sussex University to yesterday's appeal demonstrates the commitment to censorship remains firmly embedded in our university system.

For too many university managers, commitments to EDI, 'emotional safety', decolonisation and trans ideology trump free speech.

🧵
There are various questions about the judgement, which may be appealed, and that others have laid out.

But at the same time, it is clear there is a need to look again at the enforcement mechanisms, and whether these need to be strengthened.
At a minimum, this means the full commencement of HEFOSA, including the statutory tort.

The OfS must be able to consider the full facts of the case, rather than being bound by abstruse rules such as 'what is a governing document.'

Putin: More than 71,000 men from Chechnya are fighting in the “special military operation”, and more than 20,000 of them are volunteers.

They are fighting for Russia and for their small beloved motherland, Chechnya.

[Putin openly presenting Chechnya as war manpower.] 1/
Putin: The birth rate in Chechnya is very high. This is good. Many other republics and regions of Russia should take Chechnya as an example.

If everyone had such a birth rate, we would not have demographic problems and challenges. 2X

here is a story that I sometimes mention, on @USAID impact many ppl simply forgot. It's one that everyone should cheer.

In 2005, #Georgia had among the highest abortion rates in the world, with 3.7 abortions on avg per woman (!!!) over a lifetime. Not all women... Image
would get abortion. Some might get half a dozen or more, over their lifetime, as main mode of contraception. The 3.7 is average -- it was *all* around you, though ppl would not talk about it much. Many men might simply not know. (My '06 blogpost below)

Within few years these... Image
Image
numbers halved to about 1.5 on average, now they are believed to be around 1.3 or so. Still fairly high, but look at the curve.

This, to me, is classical development. Lots of things don't work so well, and then you have one investment that massively pays off, and here Image

6 easy ways to cure erectile dysfunction, weak erections naturally.

-No pills needed
-No hospital needed
-No doctor needed

Here are science-proven techniques to do it.

( Most men have no idea about it)

Open thread🧵 Image
Image
Walk 30 minutes daily (or 150 minutes moderate aerobic exercise per week)

A Harvard study of over 30,000 men found that just 30 minutes of brisk walking per day was linked to a 41% lower risk of erectile dysfunction.

Moderate exercise improves blood flow, lowers inflammation, and supports healthy blood vessels the foundation of strong erections.

-Aim for 8,000–10,000 steps daily.
Add cycling, swimming, or jogging 4 times per week for 40 minutes if you want faster results. Studies show this level of activity significantly improves erectile function in men with mild-to-moderate ED.
2: Train your pelvic floor muscles with Kegels (twice daily)

Strong pelvic floor muscles improve erection rigidity and help trap blood in the penis.

A British randomized trial showed that men doing Kegels for 3 months (combined with basic lifestyle changes) had significantly better erections and sexual satisfaction than those who only changed
lifestyle habits.

Practical steps (do these daily):

-Identify the muscles: Stop urination mid-stream (do this once to learn, then never again).

-Contract for 5–10 seconds, relax for 10 seconds. Do 10–15 reps per set.

-Perform 3 sets morning and evening (total 60–90 contractions daily).

-Add “reverse Kegels” (gentle push as if passing gas) for full pelvic control. Results typically appear in 8–12 weeks.

AI Crypto Podcast: Decoding the Latest Crypto Waves with Carli B. & Ezrah

Welcome to the AI Crypto podcast — your new go-to source for sharp insights at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and global financial markets. Hosted by Carli B. and Ezrah, we break down the biggest moves in crypto, tokenization, regulatory shifts, and how AI is reshaping investing and markets. Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just getting started, each episode delivers actionable analysis to help you navigate this fast-evolving space.

In our latest discussions, we spotlighted the hottest developments straight from leading voices in the industry. Here’s a quick recap of what we’re covering:

Crypto Market Pulse: Bitcoin Surges and Altcoins Gear Up

Bitcoin recently rallied toward the $79,000 mark, riding momentum from broader market highs and institutional interest. Altcoins are showing signs of life, with analysts pointing to potential breakouts as liquidity flows back in. We also pulled key takeaways from recent crypto seminars and conferences (including fresh energy from the Bitcoin 2026 event in Las Vegas, NV) where experts highlighted tokenization as the next trillion-dollar opportunity and passive capital potentially flooding into Bitcoin and digital assets. Traditional markets remain intertwined — S&P 500 records and Fed signals are keeping volatility in check while opening doors for cross-asset plays.

Ripple & XRP News: Partnerships Accelerate and ETFs Shine

XRP has been holding strong around the $1.36–$1.40 range amid whale activity and exchange inflows. Ripple continues its global expansion with major wins like the partnership with Korea’s Kyobo Life Insurance for tokenized government bond settlement on the XRP Ledger and collaboration with KBank for scalable digital asset custody and wallets. RLUSD stablecoin progress is adding fuel, and XRP ETFs logged their strongest monthly inflows since late 2025.

The JWK Show has also been buzzing with breaking coverage on these moves, including speculation around BlackRock’s involvement and “insane” XRP developments that have the community fired up.

Regulatory Clarity Arrives: The CLARITY Act and What’s Next

Big regulatory progress dominated the conversation. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) has cleared the House with strong bipartisan support and is advancing in the Senate — drawing a clear line between SEC and CFTC jurisdiction, creating registration pathways for digital commodity exchanges, brokers, dealers, and providing long-overdue certainty for the industry.

“Thinking Crypto” Podcast host Tony Edward recently broke it down in depth: with the CLARITY Act moving forward, the next focus is crypto tax legislation. Guests like Patrick Wilson from the Solana Policy Institute emphasized how this framework will unlock innovation while protecting investors. We also explored AI-powered investing platforms like eToro’s upcoming IPO and tokenization strategies that could “shock everyone” in the years ahead.

These updates underscore a maturing market where AI meets blockchain — from on-chain AI agents to smarter trading tools — creating exciting new opportunities across crypto and traditional finance.

GOODBYE $500,000 McKinsey consultants forever.

Claude just replaced 6 weeks of strategy analysis into 8 minutes completely free.

Here are 12 prompts to go from completely clueless to completely boardroom-ready in every business decision: 👇

Top designers are already using this.

1./ The MECE Issue Tree Builder

You are a strategy consultant breaking down a messy business problem into a clean, structured issue tree. Use the MECE principle (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) so every part of the problem is covered exactly once with no overlaps.

Here is what I need:

- Problem statement: Rewrite my problem as one clear, specific sentence. Remove any vague or emotional language.
- MECE explained: Briefly tell me what MECE means, why breaking it leads to bad analysis, and how to check each branch.
- Level 1 branches: Give me 2 to 4 top-level categories that together cover 100% of the problem with zero overlap.
- Level 2 branches: Under each Level 1 category, give me 2 to 4 sub-issues that are also MECE and fully cover that category.
- Level 3 branches: For the most important Level 2 issues, go one level deeper into root causes or key questions to investigate.
- Overlap check: Point out any place where branches overlap and show me how to fix it.
- Gap check: Point out anything the tree misses and tell me where to add it.
- Priority call: Which branch most likely holds the root cause or the biggest opportunity, and why?
- Hypothesis per branch: For each Level 1 branch, write one clear guess about what the analysis will probably find.
- Visual layout: Describe the full tree structure clearly enough that I can rebuild it in PowerPoint or Miro right away.

Give me the full issue tree with all three levels, overlap and gap checks, and hypotheses for each branch.

My messy problem: [DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS PROBLEM IN ANY FORM]
2./ The Five Forces Industry Analyzer

You are a strategy consultant running a full Porter's Five Forces analysis for a client looking at a new market. Give me a complete, evidence-based picture of how attractive this industry is.

Here is what I need:

- Force 1, Threat of New Entrants: Look at capital needs, brand loyalty, regulations, scale advantages, distribution access, and how existing players would fight back. Rate it High, Medium, or Low with supporting evidence.
- Force 2, Supplier Power: Look at how many suppliers exist, switching costs, supplier concentration, risk of suppliers selling direct, and how much volume matters. Rate with evidence.
- Force 3, Buyer Power: Look at buyer concentration, price sensitivity, switching costs, risk of buyers making it themselves, and how standard the product is. Rate with evidence.
- Force 4, Threat of Substitutes: Look at what alternatives exist, their price and performance compared to ours, how easy switching is, and how willing buyers are to switch. Rate with evidence.
- Force 5, Competitive Rivalry: Look at number and size of competitors, how fast the industry grows, how different the offerings are, exit barriers, and cost structures. Rate with evidence.
- Industry attractiveness score: Give a weighted score from 1 to 10 across all five forces and explain what it means for profit potential.
- Dominant force: Which single force matters most for margins in this industry, and why it outweighs the rest?
- Action per force: For each force, give one specific move a smart company would make to reduce the threat or take advantage of it.
- Best position: Based on everything above, where is the most defensible and profitable spot in this market?

Format this as a consulting-style report with force ratings, evidence, and ranked recommendations.

My position: [ENTERING AS / COMPETING AS]

Unemployment as a man doesn’t just take your paycheck.
It takes your voice, your name, and the way people look at you.
Here’s what it actually does to you:

Your day loses its shape.
No alarm. No reason to shave. No “how was work.”
Result: 3pm feels the same as 3am. Time starts eating itself 🧵
You become the guy who “has something lined up.”
Lie gets heavier every time you say it at family dinner.
Result: You start avoiding people so you don’t have to say it again.

Your brain turns every rejection into evidence.
Not “they picked someone else.” It’s “you’re unhireable.”
Result: 200 applications later, you believe it.

Money stops being math and starts being shame.
Split bills. Dodge texts. Pretend you’re not checking your balance at the register.
Result: You feel poorer than broke. You feel small.
People try to help by giving advice.
“Have you tried LinkedIn?” Like you haven’t lived on it for 6 months.
Result: You nod, because explaining feels worse than failing.

Your identity gets evicted before you do.
Without a title, you’re not sure who you are at parties. Or to yourself.
Result: “So what do you do?” starts sounding like an insult.

The worst part isn’t being unemployed. It’s being unemployed and invisible.
The world moves. Promotions. Vacations. Life.
Result: You start wondering if you disappeared and no one noticed.

Some good development ongoing with the brownfield Nagpur-Hyd-Bangalore expressway. Work ongoing near Mahabubnagar, Rangareddyguda with flyovers under construction on NH44. The project was only proposed in 2025, so i don't think it's a complete revamp yet. (1)
Seems to be the broader development of the NH44 to brownfield expressway standards. This expressway will reduce the transit time from Nagpur to Bengaluru by roughly 50% from current 24 hrs to 12 hrs and the distance from 1200km to 1100 km. (2)
Balanagar(not the one inside hyd) flyover.

GrapheneOS is immune to the Copy Fail vulnerability due to the deep integration of SELinux in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). AOSP only permits using specific types of sockets throughout the OS. It only permits the dumpstate process used to create bug report zips to access AF_ALG sockets.

SELinux is based on explicitly listing out everything that's permitted and anything not listed isn't allowed. AOSP uses strict, fine-grained SELinux policies for the whole OS. Instead of simply permitting everything that's used in a fine-grained way, the rest of the OS is developed with it in mind.
Android makes extensive use of neverallow rules to define and enforce the security goals for the SELinux. Since SELinux uses an allowlist approach, neverallow rules don't directly disallow anything at runtime but rather prevent creating rules violating the constraints. It does this for socket types.

Here's where Android defines a neverallow for many types of sockets including AF_ALG for regular sandboxed apps:

android.googlesource.com/platform/syste…

Android has a versioned app sandbox which gets stricter for new API levels. The versioned domains inherit from that untrusted_app_all domain.
Android's usage of SELinux is drastically different from mainstream desktop and server Linux distributions where it's only lightly used in a very targeted way. This is a nice example showing how it massively reduces Linux kernel attack surface on AOSP-based operating systems including GrapheneOS.

Android splits SELinux into system and vendor policies. Both of these must conform to the extensive neverallow rules. The vendor policies are defined as part of implementing hardware support for a device and permit what's required by the drivers. Most of the driver code is sandboxed userspace code.

Android extended SELinux with support for ioctl command allowlists to reduce kernel attack surface. These ioctl command allowlists are used for sockets and many other core kernel devices to limit attack surface. It's also used with drivers in the vendor policies such as GPU ioctl command allowlists.
