Tucker: Easter morning should have been about resurrection, peace, and victory over death.

Instead Trump threatened power plants and bridges in Iran. Civilian infrastructure, blackouts, refugees and dead noncombatants — including over a million Christians who live in Iran. 1/
Tucker: Millions of Christians backed Trump not because he was pious, but because he looked like a protector — of religious liberty, of Christians, of the unborn.

I think the first moment they should have stopped and asked what this really was came on Jan. 4, over Venezuela. 2/
Tucker: The problem was not that Maduro was anti-American. The problem was the motive Trump gave us: we did it for the oil.

That crossed a line for me. If a country says it can take what it wants by force, it is not defending order. It is legalizing theft at scale. 3X

Everyone should read this part of the @EUCouncil lawyers’ reply to my appeal before the General Court: they explicitly state they are not obliged to demonstrate current links to Russia in order to impose severe sanctions on a person — including me for my journalism Image
You think that was the shocking part keep continue reading:

"the Council may rely on "any publicly available sources" and need not await the result of police investigations."

Read that again.

Newspaper reports and open-source material can be enough to trigger sanctions. Image
In other words, as in my case: if newspapers, trade unions, and journalists in Germany run a disinformation campaign against you — even one not grounded in facts — it can still be used as the basis for sanctions, even when the allegations are factually wrong.

🚨 BREAKING: Claude can now build AI apps and automations like a $300/hour senior developer from Google DeepMind. For free.

Here are 12 prompts that build AI tools, chatbots, and automations with zero coding experience:

(Save this before it disappears) Image
1. The Google DeepMind AI Chatbot Builder

"You are a senior AI engineer at Google DeepMind who builds intelligent chatbots for Fortune 500 companies — bots that don't just answer FAQs but actually understand context, remember conversations, and handle complex customer problems that used to require a $45K/year support agent.

I need a complete AI chatbot built for my specific business with zero coding.

Build:

- Use case definition: exactly what this chatbot will do (customer support, lead qualification, appointment booking, product recommendations, internal helpdesk)
- Knowledge base design: every piece of information the bot needs to know about my business (FAQs, pricing, policies, product details, troubleshooting steps)
- Conversation flow architecture: the decision tree showing every possible user path from greeting to resolution
- Personality and tone: how the bot should talk (professional, friendly, casual, formal) with example responses
- Escalation triggers: the specific moments when the bot should hand off to a human (angry customer, complex issue, purchase decision)
- Edge case handling: what the bot says when it doesn't know the answer (never make things up, never go silent)
- Welcome message: the first message users see that sets expectations and encourages engagement
- Quick reply buttons: pre-built response options that guide users through common paths without typing
- Multi-language support: if needed, how the bot handles conversations in different languages
- Platform deployment: step-by-step instructions to deploy on my website, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Slack using no-code tools (Botpress, Voiceflow, or Chatfuel)

Format as a complete chatbot blueprint with conversation flows, knowledge base document, and deployment guide for a non-technical person.

My chatbot: [DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS, WHAT YOU WANT THE CHATBOT TO DO, YOUR MOST COMMON CUSTOMER QUESTIONS, AND WHERE YOU WANT IT DEPLOYED]"
2. The Zapier Automation Architect

"You are a senior automation engineer who builds Zapier workflows for companies like Shopify and HubSpot — connecting apps and eliminating repetitive tasks that waste 10-20 hours per week for the average knowledge worker.

I need my repetitive work automated using Zapier with zero coding.

Automate:

- Task audit: list every repetitive task I do daily or weekly that follows the same pattern every time
- Automation candidates: rank each task by time saved × frequency to identify the highest-value automations
- Zap design: for each automation, the exact trigger (what starts it), action (what happens), and filter (conditions)
- App connections: which apps need to connect (Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, CRM, calendar, social media, payment processor)
- Multi-step workflows: complex automations that chain 3-5 actions together (e.g., new form submission → add to CRM → send welcome email → create task → notify team on Slack)
- Data formatting: how to transform data between apps when they use different formats (dates, names, currencies)
- Error handling: what happens when a Zap fails and how to set up alerts so nothing falls through the cracks
- Testing protocol: how to test each automation with sample data before going live
- Cost estimation: which automations fit the free Zapier plan vs which need a paid tier
- Time savings calculation: the exact hours per week each automation saves with annual time and dollar value

Format as a Zapier automation blueprint with step-by-step setup instructions for each workflow and total time savings calculation.

My repetitive tasks: [DESCRIBE YOUR DAILY AND WEEKLY REPETITIVE TASKS, THE APPS YOU USE, AND WHICH TASKS WASTE THE MOST TIME]"

🚨Have Pakistan really stopped the US-Iran war?

What was India doing?

In fact what were West, Russia,China and entire BRICS doing?

Isn't it a surprise?

Read this thread till the end to understand the "game".

What you’re seeing in headlines is a carefully constructed illusion. Pakistan being projected as a “mediator” is not a reflection of diplomatic strength,it’s a reflection of geopolitical convenience.

The real driver behind bringing Iran to the table is someone else, not exactly India though.

Understand this clearly: Pakistan is not the negotiator. It is the placeholder.

Pakistan didn’t broker the ceasefire. It was used as a front. The real game was played by bigger powers.

So who did it?Image
Image
1. China

Why? How?

Because China depends heavily on Iranian oil, and any prolonged war, regime instability, or US-controlled disruption in Iran directly threatens Beijing’s energy security.

At the same time, US is aware of Chinese ambition in the South China sea. China used this as leverage by declaring 40 day NOTAM in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea indicating major escalation and testing American support to Taiwan, South Korea, Japan .

A prolonged Iran conflict would overstretch the US and bolden Chinese ambition. China used it as a leverage to bring Trump to the knees.

China could have pressed button on both to bring them to a negotiation table.

Trump wants exit from Iran too but will appear weak.

Trump cannot politically afford to show China as the mediator.

That damages his image. So a weak, financially broken, low-credibility state Pakistan becomes the perfect “face saver.”Image
Image
Russia India and Brazil:

These 3 countries have also been talking to Iran from different point of views. While Russia needs stable Iran for getting cheaper missiles for Ukraine war while Russia exports its own missile to its buyers.

Brazil and India have been talking to Iran for oil and energy stability and India in particular have been one country sending aids, getting passage for Indian ships and tankers and talking to all 3 Iran US and Israel to end escalation.

India is crucial for keeping processed petroleum product price stable across the globe. India did during Ukraine war as well by purchasing Russian Urals at discount and sold refined product to the europe and world at reasonable price.

India's position and perspective are irreplaceable in any conflict involving energy disruption.

Why Pakistan became so credible to be negotiator?

Revelations about a 2024 call offering aid raise questions about Hungary’s ties to Iran as the Trump administration is supporting Prime Minister Viktor Orban for reelection. washingtonpost.com/world/2026/04/…
“Our secret service has already contacted your services and we will share all the information we have gathered during the investigation,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told his Iranian counterpart by telephone, according to a copy of a Hungarian government transcript
The transcript of the call between Szijjarto and Araghchi raises further questions about the political alignments of Orban’s government, especially given that Moscow has a long-standing alliance with Iran and has supported it in its war with the United States.

@McFaul Europe is fragmented into strategic cultures:

Northeast: existential realism
West/South: post-historical, risk-averse

There is no one "Europe" but at best: four.
@McFaul “Values” are secondary or even misleading.

Real cohesion comes from shared threat perception
Willingness to fight.
@McFaul Ukraine is already part of the real military core.

Let that sink in to you Americans.

Formal membership is secondary to integration into the Northeastern deterrence system

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.
@JohnCarreyrou in his NYT research finds like @AaronvanW in his "genesis block" book, many interesting bitcoin analogs in early attempts to create a decentralized ecash, in effect prototype ideas trying to figure out a bitcoin-like thing, including p2p, BGP, proof of work.
@JohnCarreyrou @AaronvanW for his quote "I’m not saying I’m good with words but I sure did a lot of yakking on these lists actually" the broader context was my observation that because I was talkative on the list, and known to have an active interest in ecash, there's some confirmation bias in finding my

Seuna Yadavas were a Kannadiga-origin ruling elite who governed largely over Marathi-speaking regions.
This thread examines their linguistic identity, and the actual roles of Kannada, Sanskrit, and Marathi in their state. 🧵👇
Absolutely No evidence exists of Marathi being used in literary, philosophical, or elite spheres under the Yadavas.
It appears mainly in inscriptions for threatening the marathi population especially warnings and curses, aimed at the masses while Kannada was the Royal language. Image
Hemadri standardised Marathi is a false information.

He did not compose a single literary work in Marathi.All his major works were in Sanskrit.
No poetry, no literature, no court promotion of Marathi just later assumptions with no basis. Image

1/ Iran faces very serious problems even if the currently paused war ends with an agreement, warns Russian political scientist Nikolai Sevostyanov. While many Russians are celebrating the Iranian 'victory', Sevostyanov says the hardest part is still ahead. ⬇️ Image

1/ With a ceasefire now apparently in place in the Gulf, Iran has a golden opportunity to rearm – most likely with the aid of Russia, its main supplier of weapons since 2015. A Russian warblogger calls for missiles and drones to be rushed to Iran to prepare for a new war. ⬇️ Image
2/ While Iran's own military production capabilities have likely been severely damaged, it can almost certainly turn to Russia, which is only about 500 km (310 miles) away across the Caspian Sea. The two have extensively traded weapons in both directions.
3/ From 2015-20, Russia supplied 98% of Iran's arms imports, and in 2020–24 it was Iran's sole official supplier. Over the last decade, Iran's imports of Russian arms have included air defence systems, missiles, aircraft, and sensors.

Rules for f*cking a virgin.

1. If she says stop, you stop immediately.
2. Go extremely slow.

Her body has never been stretched like this before.

Rushing will cause pain and she will shut down.

Take your time and let her adjust.
3. Use a lot of lube.

Even if she is wet, a virgin’s p*ssy is usually tighter and drier than you expect.

Extra lube makes everything smoother and less painful for her.
