In 2012, a UK MP leaned across a committee table at Amazon, Starbucks, Google executives and said, "We are not accusing you of being illegal. We are accusing you of being immoral."

This MP never drafted any law but effected a change in global tax laws.

What do MPs really do?🧵
The defeat of Delimitation Bill gives an opportunity to step back — what do MPs actually do?

A loud argument against expansion is that Indian MPs are rubber stamps anyway. Whip ties their hands, Parliament is theatre, 850 is just more of the same.

That's not the whole truth.
The whip binds floor votes. It doesn't apply in committees, Question Hour, Zero Hour, Private Members' Business, or caucuses.

Standing committees in the 17th Lok Sabha produced 691 reports. The government accepted 69% of their recommendations.

Interesting remarks by senior Western military leaders on the Russia–Ukraine war at the Kyiv Security Forum:

Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, Chair of the NATO Military Committee:
Russia has not achieved a quick victory, in fact, no victory at all, and this is important. 1/18 Image
Ukraine has preserved its sovereignty, and this is a powerful example of adaptability. In the West, we are learning a great deal, learning about drones, distributed capabilities, and resilience. 2/18
Have we truly awakened? I would say yes, we have. Are we working on it? I believe the West is on the right path, with significant achievements. 3/18

If things such as SIBO are "bs", then why do these forums (or however these Reddit things are called) have 70K weekly visitors?

Are all of these people delusional?
Obviously not.

It's that people always dismiss what they do not understand.

Yet, SIBO is surprisingly common these days for reasons that are really not hard to understand.

If you still think that SIBO can't be one of the primary drivers behind your health issues, think again since:
-At least half of the people who’ve used PPIs or antibiotics have it.
-Most people who eat the S.A.D have it.
-Up to 78% of people an IBS diagnosis actually just have SIBO.
-Sibo is present in up to 50% of hypothyroid patients.
and there's more.

So SIBO goes unrecognized quite frequently, even though it’s a common driver behind issues such as:
-Chronic fatigue
-Brain fog
-Skin issues
-Hormonal imbalances
-Autoimmune conditions
-Mental issues such as generalized anxiety and depression
-Systemic inflammation

So let me break down what's going on with SIBO for you in the simplest way i can.

Give me 8 minutes of your time and you'll leave this thread with a basic plan and resources you can further look into.

Of course, many of these tips will help your gut health overall, even if you do not struggle with SIBO.

Why is healing your gut the best thing a person can do in order to improve every aspect of their health you ask?

It's because our gut is connected to multiple organs and systems through bidirectional communication pathways (you might have heard or read terms such as the gut-liver axis, gut-brain axis, gut-heart axis, gut-immune axis, gut-kidney axis and so on).

This is why dysbiosis is linked to:
-Skin issues
-Obesity and metabolic syndrome
-Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
-Mood disorders
-Low libido
-Low testosterone
-Thyroid disorders
-Chronic fatigue
-CVD
and much more.

And since i know that 78% of people have Tik Tok brains and can't focus on anything, let me be crystal clear when i say that i will delete this in 48 hours.

So read it now🧵Image
*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

First and foremost, get out of your head the idea that you can just use antibiotics and pre/probiotics and get rid of it.

It's not that simple.

The overgrowth is proximal (duodenum/jejunum/ileum), where Paneth cells are abundant and mucus is thinner compared to the colon.

So if you aggressively feed bacteria fermentable fibers or prebiotics for example, you can dramatically increase fuel for the overgrowth that already exists.

These tools can be extremely helpful and lifesaving but they won't do much in the long run if someone does not understand how their SIBO was created.Image
Image
Let's start with the basics.

SIBO or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is a well, almost a self-explanatory condition that marks an abundance of bad bacteria, such as the ones belonging to the firmicutes, bacteroidetes or proteobacteria phyla families overgrow in the small intestine.

The problem with this is that the small intestine and its parts, such as the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, are designed for nutrient breakdown and absorption, not bacterial fermentation.

Normally, it hosts fewer than 10^3 colony-forming units (CFU) per mL of bacteria, compared to 10^9–10^12 CFU/mL in the colon.

When this balance is disrupted, bacteria ferment carbohydrates for example, producing gases like hydrogen, methane or hydrogen sulfide.

These can drive symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain and altered bowel movements (diarrhea, constipation and so on).

But SIBO is not just a gut issue.
It has systemic effects, including nutrient deficiencies, systemic inflammation and neurological symptoms for example.Image

Is EFF leader and convicted criminal Julius Malema's infamous "Kill the Boer, kill the farmer"-chant a literal call for violence or "just a metaphor"?

Because there are still people (mostly left-wingers and farm murder deniers) that excuse and even celebrate this chant, I've taken up the challenge of thoroughly disproving this twisted, dishonest narrative.

🧵Follow along as we look at decades of evidence:Image
Let's start with the history of the "Kill the Boer"-chant.

As investigative journalist James Myburgh (@Politicsweb) has documented in detail, at the time when the ANC's terror wing uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) were being taught songs and chants in the 1980s calling for the shooting and killing of "the Boers" (the farmers), it was explicit ANC policy for white farmers and civilians to be targeted by MK and others.

What did the post-Apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) hear in regards to the "Kill the Boer"-chant"?

Mashovets Sumy a week ago

Russia continues developing its "buffer zone" operation on the Northern Slobozhanskyi (Sumy) direction, where forces of the Northern Grouping are attempting to expand cross-border incursions east and southeast of Sumy city. Rather than a single large breakthrough, the operation currently relies on multiple small infiltration thrusts across the border zone from Myropillia to Hrabovske. The apparent concept is to create several shallow penetrations, then later link them together into a broader foothold inside Ukrainian territory.Image
The offensive is unfolding through three tactical groupings. The northern group is attacking from the Demidovka and Popovka areas toward Prokhody and Myropillia, seeking to pressure the northern edge of the Ukrainian border defense line. The central group is focused on Pokrovka, where meeting engagements are underway, while also probing through forested terrain toward Novodmytrivka and further south toward Taratutyne. The southern group is advancing from Hrabovske toward Riasne, attempting to outflank Ukrainian defenders from both the north and south, including movement along the Korova River and local road approaches.
At present, Russian central and southern penetrations may have linked into a single connected salient, but the northern thrust has not yet joined them. Fighting remains active along the Prokhody–Maryine line and around Myropillia, where Russian forces appear to be operating mainly with small assault detachments rather than holding firm control of settlements. This suggests limited manpower density and continued Ukrainian resistance in the northern sector.

1/ VA CASE UPDATE: Let me walk you through the Attorney General's thirty-eight page Motion for Emergency Stay, filed Wednesday to try to save the redistricting referendum.🧵
2/ The ballot question.

What he argues: The ballot language was fine. Voters understood what they were voting on. The circuit court had no business second-guessing the General Assembly's drafting choices.
3/ What happened: The ballot asked voters whether to amend the Constitution "to restore fairness in the upcoming elections."

The Attorney General's brief is thirty-eight pages long. But he never quotes the entire ballot question, including that phrase. Not once.

On paper, the MiG-29K was the perfect fit for the Indian Navy: a rugged, compact "marinized" version of the legendary Fulcrum, an aircraft that had been in service with the IAF since 1985. However, the transition from blueprints to the reality of the high seas has been a difficult journey for both the Indian Navy and the airframe itself. 1/4Image
The acquisition began in 2004, when India ordered its first batch of 16 MiG-29Ks as part of the deal for the carrier INS Vikramaditya (ex-Admiral Gorshkov). By 2010, another 29 were ordered, bringing the fleet to 45 aircraft at a cost of roughly $2.2 billion. The goal was to replace the old Sea Harriers with a fast-jet that could dominate the Indian Ocean. But as the jets began flying off the deck, the technical problems started flying even faster. A report from the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) revealed a startling reality: the Navy was struggling to keep the MiGs in the air, with serviceability rates as low as 38%. 2/4Image
The challenges were largely mechanical. The RD-33MK engines suffered from design and manufacturing defects, with a high number of units being withdrawn from service prematurely. Meanwhile, the airframes were taking a beating; the violent "controlled crashes" inherent in carrier landings led to structural cracks that the original design wasn't fully prepared for. Even the much-hyped Zhuk-ME radar faced scrutiny, with recent leaks suggesting its reliability was significantly lower than what was originally promised. 3/4Image
