They've found the second New Zealander - who left the hantavirus ship in late April.

- In Taiwan, in hospital quarantine from 13 May to 6 June. Testing negative so far. Links below
Taiwan CDC said the person has tested negative so far. They also had antibody testing - which showed no past infection. But repeat PCR testing is needed.

So far, so lucky. But the person arrived in Taiwan on 7 May - didn't notify authorities. Only tracked down on 13 May via NZ
NZ health were advised by international health regs - and notified Taiwan.

Six days of not-quarantine in Taiwan. 12 days before that of travel-not-quarantine

🧵 X ALGO EXPOSED 🧵
Here is the latest breakdown on the newest X Algorithm code released today. It should be no surprise that it still lacks complete transparency, but there is some details that help us better understand what they are doing. Let's now dive into the X matrix! Image
Here is a code that identifies "Banger" posts and then injects them into people's timelines. There are two problems though, it doesn't disclose what is actually considered a "banger" and the other issue is that AI is determining this. Meaning a bot is deciding your relevance. Image
Image
Image
They're also continuing with the social credit scoring system that measures you on these factors. There is undeniably more factors when taking into account the Twitter legacy code. Block and report scores can still be used as an exploit for hate mobs to target users visibility. Image

Did you know that @skillz bought @beamable tech right after they flagrantly violated @USEEOC with 1) refusal to follow ADA law 2) retaliation 3) wrongful termination 4) SLAPP the victim that got their neck broken because of Ali's "you must feel pain" policy at the company.
At what point will the Sovereign step in and hold @beamable accountable? This should be the @TheJusticeDept but it's too busy scrubbing the #EpsteinFiles and redacting the #AlienFiles. I find the process to be anti-American, discriminatory, and unlawful. All of it.
@Beamable @TheJusticeDept Truthfully though, in order to hold them accountable, the @USEEOC would equally need to go after @WBGames as well because they were equally involved in the damages. My direct manager came from WB Games, and the culture followed with him to discriminate against disabled engineers.

2. Angels: Beings of Light

A Quatrain Poem🧵in 10 parts Image
Angels are beautiful winged beings that Allah created from light,
they worship and obey Allah tirelessly, and do His tasks with might.
Angels have no free will; Allah’s Commands they have always obeyed,
yet, Angels have been worshipping Allah, ever since they were made.
🧵1/10 Image
Angels were made before Humans, and worried Man would cause harm,
they still hate evil disbelievers, but love the pious followers of Islam.
There is no such thing as ‘fallen Angels’ as Angels never do any sins,
Angels comfort Muslims, whereas Satan and his crew are Jinns.

REPORT w/EXCLUSIVE INFO: Autistic 13-Year-Old Was Left Begging for Help After Brutal School Attack While Administrators Focused on Getting a Forced Statement Instead of Medical Care 🚨

This will be another exclusive thread.

Please read all parts of the story. This mother and daughter deserves to have their story told. And if you can, please donate to her fundraiser. What happened is brutal. I privately watched the video of the as*ault. We don’t have to live like this. 👇

Northside ISD, San Antonio, Texas - A San Antonio mother says her 13-year-old autistic daughter was brutally beaten by multiple students at Sul Ross Middle School in Northside ISD after months of reported bullying - and according to sources I interviewed, school administrators left the injured girl begging for help while staff focused on obtaining a written statement instead of immediate medical treatment.

I have obtained documents, medical records, emails, photographs, interview transcripts, and screenshots related to the case. After reviewing the material, a disturbing picture emerges of what Maddison McDonald experienced before, during, and after the February 26, 2026 attack.

According to the family, 7th grader Maddison McDonald had repeatedly reported bullying and threats to school staff for months leading up to the assault. I obtained emails showing school staff discussing counseling resources for Maddison weeks before the attack due to emotional distress and bullying concerns. Additional records I reviewed show Maddison had documented autism and ADHD diagnoses - diagnoses the family says the school is now attempting to claim were never provided!

Despite the documented concerns, the family says nothing meaningful was done to stop the escalating harassment.

According to a source I interviewed for over an hour regarding the incident, Maddison had submitted multiple written reports about bullying to administrators during the school year.

The source even alleges one administrator ripped up several of those reports in front of Maddison and accused her of “causing drama.”

Then on February 26, the situation escalated into violence.Image

According to the family and Maddison’s handwritten statement completed after the attack, Maddison was walking to class when multiple older students approached her from behind.

The statement says Maddison told them to “leave me alone” and “f*** off” before several students grabbed her, dragged her to the ground by her hair, punched her, kicked her, and broke her glasses during the assault. (I have seen this video footage)

The mother informed me that students had already begun filming before the attack even started.

According to a source, the family was told there were multiple students recording from different angles and that the assault appeared coordinated.

The mother stated that students had “laid in wait” for Maddison and intentionally positioned themselves in order to target her.

I have also obtained photographs that show injuries to Maddison’s scalp near her ear where the family says large chunks of hair were ripped out during the assault.

Additional photographs show Maddison later hospitalized wearing a neck brace while being evaluated for head, neck, and back injuries.

The mother says Maddison suffered severe pain, swelling to her face, trauma to her scalp, and complications connected to a prior traumatic brain injury that already caused migraines and neurological issues.

But what happened afterward inside the school office may be even more disturbing.Image

According to my source, Maddison - injured, crying, and begging for help - was denied immediate medical attention for over an hour while administrators pressured her to write a statement accepting partial blame for the attack.

The mother stated that Maddison repeatedly begged for her mother, cried that she was in pain, and asked for medical help while sitting in the office.

“She was crying and begging for help,” the mother told me. “She kept saying, ‘Can I just have my mom please? I’m hurting?’”

I have also been informed that one administrator stood over Maddison demanding she rewrite portions of her statement because Maddison had admitted to telling the students to “f*** off” before the assault.

According to an interview with one of my sources, administrators insisted Maddison had “started it” because of those words, despite claims that the students had approached her from behind and attacked her anyway.

School staff initially failed to contact Maddison’s mother after the assault occurred.

The mother says Maddison herself managed to contact her using her damaged cellphone after one of the students allegedly stomped on it during the attack.

Maddison called her mother, crying and saying:
“Mom, they hurt me. They jumped me. Please help me.”

When the mother arrived at the school, staff initially refused to allow her to see her daughter.

The family claims they eventually called EMS themselves after realizing the school had not done so.

According to another source, even EMS personnel allegedly had to tell one administrator to move out of the way while they attempted to evaluate Maddison.

The mother informed me that staff appeared more concerned about obtaining a written statement than addressing her daughter’s injuries.

The family also claims school officials later attempted to minimize the incident publicly.

As you can see in this infuriating statement, Maddison felt pressured into apologizing for being attacked.Image

Today’s premium newsletter is part 1 of my What If...We're In An AI Bubble? series, covering scenarios that could burst the bubble starting with token-based billing's destruction of most AI products, and the slow collapse of data center construction.
wheresyoured.at/premium-what-i…
I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of words in the last year talking about the very and scary signs that we are an AI bubble, and the exuberance fueling it. Today is the first time in a long time where I’ve discussed the potential consequences in depth.

wheresyoured.at/premium-what-i…Image
I feel like people are very cavalier when discussing the AI bubble, saying stuff like "we're in an OpenAI bubble," not realizing that the collapse of OpenAI would destroy AI investment, AI startups, and kill debt issuance for AI data centers.

🚨BREAKING: Claude can now research like a Stanford PhD student.

Here are 6 insane Claude prompts that turn 40+ research papers into structured literature reviews, knowledge maps, and research gaps in minutes

(Save this) Image
Image
1. The Intake Protocol

Use this when you first upload your papers:

"I'm going to share [X] papers on [topic].
Before I ask anything, do this:

1. List every paper by author + year + core claim in one sentence
2. Group them into clusters of shared assumptions
3. Flag any paper that contradicts another

Don't summarize. Map the landscape."
2. The Contradiction Finder

Most researchers miss this. This prompt doesn't:

"Across all papers uploaded, identify every point where two
or more authors directly contradict each other.

For each contradiction:
- State both positions
- Name the papers
- Explain WHY they likely disagree (methodology, dataset, era)

Format as a table."

1/ Russia's shrunken Victory Day parade in Moscow on 9th May has been a TV ratings flop, reflecting a lack of public interest and its exceptionally short duration. Russian broadcasters report 25% fewer people tuning in this year. ⬇️
2/ The Russian news outlet 'We can explain' reports that the combined rating for the Victory Day Parade broadcast across the three main broadcasters (Channel One, Rossiya 1, and NTV) this year was only 16%. This is a near-25% drop from the 20.5% rating recorded in 2025.
3/ The parade was overtaken in the ratings by the wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. 'We can explain' suggests that this "may be due to the show's shortening and watering down."

Finally we sold our Bangalore property. Being an NRI the process is tedious. I will give all the steps here so that it might be useful. Below are the main steps

1. Power of Attorney - this is first step if you don’t want to go to India for registration. Take 2 witnesses 1/7
with you to a lawyer and sign the POA document and get it notarized. Then book an appointment with BLS under miscellaneous attestation category. Submit the documents. These documents will get signed by consulate general from Indian embassy. It will take 7-14 days to receive 2/7
Once you receive the signed copy. You need to sent the original document to India. Remember POA should be done on blood relative like siblings/parents. No in-laws as the stamp duty will be 1-5% on total
Property value. If it’s blood relative then it’s 2500 Rupees only. 3/7

Churchill and Jung both understood something modern psychology forgot:

Depression grows when life becomes only thought.

The way out is not more analysis.
It is action, symbol, body and imagination.

Here are 7 body-based ways to move from collapse into momentum: 🧵

1. Use your hands to build something.Image
Image
Churchill had bricks.
Jung had wood and stone.

They both knew something ancient:

The moment you use your hands to make something, your mental state changes.

Rumination loses power when attention is absorbed in a concrete act.

Depression wants you sealed inside your head.
Creation pulls you back into the world.
2. Walk outdoors without devices.

No music.
No podcast.

Just nature and you.

Walking brings back horizon, rhythm, weather, light, and ground.

Your mind opens because your body is no longer frozen in the same room with the same thoughts.
