Lovely to find out that the DC Bar’s disciplinary authority is full not just of Democrat political donors like it’s leader Hamilton Fox but also full-on Marxists like his #2 in going after me at the trial they thrust upon me — Jason Horrell.

+1 Jason Horrell sat second chair in my bar trial, so no one can claim he was not an active participant in the Barfare/Lawfare against me.
Hamilton Fox really can pick ‘em. First, appellate lawyer Jack Metzler, whom DOJ exposed in their complaint against Fox and other DC officials.

+2 Horrell was in the Office of Disciplinary Counsel for the DC Bar trial of Rudy Giuliani.
In that regard, Horrell could be gloating over helping bring down Giuiliani by creating a burner social media account with Rudy in the name.
Shameful.

The Worst Kind of Deception 🧵
We are told in God’s Word that the last days will be marked by great deception. What greater deception is there than to be deceived by your own self?
We are told in God’s Word that the last days will be marked by great deception. What greater deception is there than to be deceived by your own self?
“For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.” (Galatians 6:3)
But so many are deceived by themselves because they don’t want to believe their lifestyle or way of doing things is wrong.
They want to believe that no matter how they live — God will be okay with them, because He is a loving God.

Weaponized Marxist at D.C. Bar?
Former D.C. Bar Disciplinary Counsel Jason Horrell's now-deleted burner X account is full of radical Marxist content.
Horrell was a key player at @JeffClarkUS's trial.

In 2020, Horrell responded with a “You and Me Both” meme to a Twitter account lamenting that they “had to become a Marxist on [their] own time”
In 2020, Horrell appears to repost a Communist account (note the hammer & sickle avatar) quote-posting an excerpt from “The Magnificat” and remarking that lifting the lowly and filling the hungry is “where Marx comes in” (rather than God).
Why are Americans so pissed off right now? Take a look at three straight monthly declines in disposable income growth and that same metric over the last year.
Real wages are falling as disposable income declines and households are drawing down savings.
With rising inflation not having yet peaked this will get worse before it gets better and real spending is likely to decline in May.

Here one can see where consumers are pulling back on spending as disposable income declines.
Take a look at inflation across the PCE index. Note how far we are away from the 2% target. Both topline and the core index will move higher next month
@MissRinaIdrus He's in a Holocaust. We're not. Cointelpro specifically uses "in fighting" and amplifies in-fighting. Your group's behavior as outside forces that mass block a father who is frustrated with all of our failure. Your group CONSTANTLY fights privately & publicly. You need to examine
@MissRinaIdrus who knew your chats is constantly complaining, constantly has a bone to pick w/ everyone, constantly pointing out Gaza's Families that "aren't good". Who has he failed? Gaza? Or those ppl he has experienced who are NOT in Gaza?
Muslima HOLD tongues whenever a chance is better.

@MissRinaIdrus I asked for help. I was only mass added to many groups, added to an hours long rant on someone no one was addressing. And I never got help. I observed your group's DM and it was constant finger pointing and negative. I muted only to see "mute" doesn't stop it. I just left then.

Eastern #Syria is in the midst of a major environmental crisis -- with widespread flooding leaving several dead, 24,000 hectares of crops destroyed, 25% of water pumping stations out of action & 3 bridges washed away.
The cause was a mass release of water from #Turkey -- a🧵:
The cause was a mass release of water from #Turkey -- a🧵:
After months of unusually heavy rain & snow, #Turkey released a huge volume of dammed water 72hrs ago, flowing south down the #Euphrates.
A decades-old #Turkey-#Syria warning mechanism was reportedly not followed, giving authorities hours to prep for a huge rise in water levels.

Within hours, #Syria's Lake #Assad filled to capacity, forcing authorities at the #Euphrates Dam to release water from the spillway, reportedly for the first time in ~30yrs.
That's created a flood surge south into #Raqqa & Deir ez Zour, raising levels by 1-3 meters.

If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning.

Important Clarification:
This hadith is found in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, so it is authentic. But it has to be understood with the full guidance of Islam, not in isolation.
The scholars explained that this warning is about a spouse intentionally refusing intimacy without a valid reason
The scholars explained that this warning is about a spouse intentionally refusing intimacy without a valid reason
while using it as neglect, punishment, emotional harm, or rejection of marital rights.
Islam views intimacy in marriage as:
• a mutual right,
• a source of mercy and protection,
• and something that helps preserve love, chastity, and emotional connection.

🧵@GovRonDeSantis just called a special session to abolish property taxes on Florida homes
If you must pay the state every year just to stay in the house you own outright…
You don’t own it. You rent it.
Florida is beginning the end of feudalism in America. 🧵

2/ An 91-year-old widow paid off her house 40 years ago.
All across America, one missed property tax payment and the state can take her home and put her on the street.
Her home — the one she owns free and clear — can be taken because she “owes rent” to the government.
That’s not ownership. That’s serfdom. It’s immoral.

@GovRonDeSantis 3/ Critics scream "lost revenue". They lie.
Pay a visible, one-time sales tax at the closing table — then you own it.
No annual "rent". No reassessment because you improved your property.
When you pass the home to your children, it’s love and legacy — not a taxable event.

1/ Can LLMs introspect, i.e., reason about their internal states? Recent work claims LLMs notice when their "thoughts" get tampered with, and can report their content. We looked closely and we think it's too early to say that. Work led by @shashwat_s19 , with @tallinzen and me.
2/ There are different notions of introspection in cognitive science and philosophy. We target a strong notion (consistent with the framing in some recent work), under which LLMs can access their own activations in a second order computation distinct from a simple forward pass.
3/ We lay out two conditions for strong introspection: 1. Privileged access, the ability to detect internal features that aren't recoverable from the input; 2. Second-order computation, that is, the introspective behavior can't be explained by a simple first-order forward pass.
I have posted six threads in the last month. Over 400,000 views. Thousands of replies.
The same question keeps appearing. Over and over. In every thread.
"What tests should I actually get?"
Here are the five tests. Under $150. No prescription needed at most direct-access labs. Backed by studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA Cardiology.
These five tests would have caught my heart disease years before it almost killed me at 52.
Your annual physical does not include a single one of them.

Your standard annual physical tests three things related to heart disease.
Total cholesterol. LDL cholesterol. Fasting glucose.
That is it. Those are the numbers your doctor uses to decide whether you are healthy or sick. Whether you need medication. Whether you are at risk.
The Women's Health Study ranked LDL cholesterol last at 1.4x. Total cholesterol at 1.0x. Fasting glucose does not move until 10 to 20 years after the disease starts.
Your doctor is testing the weakest predictors. The ones that catch it last. The ones at the bottom of the list.

Fasting insulin. The earliest marker of insulin resistance. Detectable 10 to 20 years before blood sugar moves.
hs-CRP. Chronic inflammation. The mechanism that actually drives plaque formation. 2.98x risk. More than double LDL.
HOMA-IR. Your insulin resistance score. A free calculation your doctor already has the numbers for but never puts together.
HbA1c. Your 90-day blood sugar average. Shows what fasting glucose hides.
Lp(a). A genetic risk factor that 20% of the population has elevated. Most have never been tested. Cannot be changed with lifestyle. Must be managed.
Five tests. Five markers that actually predict disease. None of them on your standard blood panel.

I promised you all post gathering my thoughts on the Ferrari Luce and now I’ve had a couple of days to digest and think, plus several glasses of cold Tizer, here it is.
Let me say straight off that it’s bad, both objectively and subjectively. I’ll get into what’s wrong with ithe design but at the moment all I have are more questions than answers. A thread 1/n

Ferrari is by far the most profitable per unit OEM on the planet, and their market cap is far beyond any of their competitors. Segio Marchionne famously said they would build one less car than they can sell. Managing access has proved extremely profitable and crucial in protecting the brand. Outsourcing the design of the Luce could be seen as an extension of this. 2/n
In 2021 the Ferrari holding company Exor, announced their creative partnership with Lovefrom, the design consultancy founded by Ive and Newson. The press release states that Ive and Newson have been friends with Exor CEO and Ferrari Executive Chairman John Elkann for many years. Elkann is the nephew (and chosen heir) of Fiat scion Gianni Agnelli. 3/n
