1/๐Ÿงต Breaking analysis from @guardian:

Epstein Files describe a pattern of behavior around Kimbal Musk and the Tesla/SpaceX world that raise serious natsec and corruption concerns. Image
2/๐Ÿšฉ The behavior described looks very similar to how powerful people are identified, studied, and slowly drawn into compromising relationshipsโ€”
Especially through their close friends and family.
3/๐Ÿšฉ Warning signs can include the use of controlled romantic or sexual partners, mixing social access with business opportunities, and maintaining close contact with a known predator.

@BBCBreaking @Shayan86 1).
โ€žDeputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald, commander of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in B.C. said Jesse Van Rootselaar, a biological male who began to identify as female six years ago, had first killed her mother, 39, and 11-year-old step-brother at the family home.
@BBCBreaking @Shayan86 2).
Van Rootselaar then went to the school and shot a 39-year-old woman teacher as well as three 12-year-old female students and two male students, one aged 12 and one aged 13.โ€

Former CIA Director Petraeus: I said from the start Russia would not take Kyiv. Others predicted it would fall in 3โ€“5 days. Kyiv is a vast city with brave defenders.

It would be extremely hard to break in โ€” and Ukraineโ€™s actions denied Russia the airfield north of the capital.1/
Petraeus: The Budapest Memorandum was a major failure.

Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from the US, Russia, and the UK and those guarantees werenโ€™t upheld. This is Ukraineโ€™s war for independence โ€” a fight for its very survival.

2/
Petraeus: US sanctions are under Senate review.

If paired with the EUโ€™s 19th package and continued military support, the pressure could be strong enough to push Putin toward a ceasefire by the end of the year.

Former CIA Director Petraeus: When about 20 drones violated Polish airspace, Warsaw didnโ€™t call Brussels or Washington, it called Kyiv.

Ukraine is the most advanced in building a โ€œdrone wall,โ€ showing how to defend vast front lines.

1/
Petraeus: I donโ€™t think Russia will move against a NATO country until it achieves its aims in Ukraine โ€” and likely takes Moldova next.

Russian troops remain in Transnistria. After that, a Baltic state, possibly Lithuania, could be targeted.

Reflecting on what engineers love about Claude Code, one thing that jumps out is its customizability: hooks, plugins, LSPs, MCPs, skills, effort, custom agents, status lines, output styles, etc.

Every engineer uses their tools differently. We built Claude Code from the ground up to not just have great defaults, but to also be incredibly customizable. This is a reason why developers fall in love with the product, and why Claude Code's growth continues to accelerate.

I wanted to share a few ways we're seeing people and teams customize their Claudes.
1/ Configure your terminal

- Theme: Run /config to set light/dark mode
- Notifs: Enable notifications for iTerm2, or use a custom notifs hook
- Newlines: If you use Claude Code in an IDE terminal, Apple Terminal, Warp, or Alacritty, run /terminal-setup to enable shift+enter for newlines (so you don't need to type \)
- Vim mode: run /vim

code.claude.com/docs/en/terminโ€ฆImage
2/ Adjust effort level

Run /model to pick your preferred effort level. Set it to:
- Low, for less tokens & faster responses
- Medium, for balanced behavior
- High, for more tokens & more intelligence

Personally, I use High for everything. Image

Macron: Russian energy stopped in 2022. There is no way back.

China as a supermarket for our export is over, and during the past 2 years we were overwhelmed by the Chinese export.

The US is imposing tariffs on us and a series of economic coercion mechanisms. 1/
Macron: End of Russia as a permanent provider of local energy. End of China as a main export market. The US is imposing tariffs on our economy and a coercion mechanism.

This is a game changer. This is not just a transition. None of these factors will change in the short run. 2/
Macron: China is an authoritarian regime, no offense, this is a collective choice. The US is becoming an unpredictable economy and governance.

In the middle of that โ€” the EU. It remains a place where the rule of law and predictability remain valid. 3X

(1/10 ๐Ÿงต) If you live in NY, you may see a new warning: โ€œTHIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.โ€ This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and itโ€™s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing. Image
Image
(2/10) You know dynamic pricingโ€”think Ubers, flights, or concert tickets that surge based on supply and demand. โ€œSurveillance pricingโ€ takes this to a new level: using your data to set a โ€œprice for youโ€ based on your predicted breaking point. This is, increasingly, everywhere.
(3/10) A December 2025 Consumer Reports investigation found that Instacart prices for identical items varied by as much as 23% between different users. Instacart characterizes these discrepancies as routine โ€˜A/B testingโ€™. consumerreports.org/money/questionโ€ฆ

Nepal: Super 8 Qualification Scenarios

Scenario A: 6 points

Nepal secures a spot by winning all three remaining fixtures against Italy, the West Indies, and Scotland.

A healthy Net Run Rate (NRR) to ensure safety if other teams also finish on the same number of points.
Scenario B: 4 points

Scotland must defeat England.

Nepal must beat both Italy and Scotland.

A loss against the West Indies is permissible, but it must be by a minimal margin to protect Nepal's NRR from a significant hit.

Pomerantsev: Russia tailors messages for different audiences: anti-imperialism for the left, ethnic purity and Christianity for the right.

But the core narrative is the world is corrupt, there are no values to fight for, might is right and predatory powers now take over. 1/
Pomerantsev: Russia is failing economically and on the front lines. Itโ€™s trying to bomb Ukraine into political chaos, yet there are no signs of revolt.

What it does well is storytelling โ€” convincing the world, sometimes even Washington, that itโ€™s winning. 2/
Pomerantsev: Unlike Soviet propaganda with its positive ideology, todayโ€™s Russian tactics are destructive.

The message is that the world is full of chaos, youโ€™ll never find the truth. In that confusion and conspiracy, the larger story is that you need a Putin to guide you. 3/

Fundamentals > Price Action.

Eventually, the stock will follow fundamentals.

Here are 15 companies where business performance has outpaced market cap growth over the last 5 years:

1. $ADBE - Adobe Inc

Cashflows growing... while the share price goes the other way.Image
2. $BKNG - Booking Holdings IncImage
3. $DLO - DLocal Limited

I went more recent on this chart since it was at such a high price in early 2021. Didn't want to mislead. This chart is actually more impressive.Image
