1🚨 The truth about Pam Bondi [fully sourced]! I had from the start been skeptical of Pam Bondi for no other reason than the Epstein Files that she certainly would have to tackle. People say she was chosen perfectly & depending on the reason I'd agree.

2🚨 For the record, Pam Bondi was FL's 37th AG spanning from 2011-2019. She campaigned HARD on her promise to end child trafficking in FL.

Pam had a few notable efforts; adding a tip-line and taking down a trafficker on Backpage in 2018 w/ a 98% conviction rate that year.

3🚨Despite a few wins the Florida’s Office of Statewide Prosecution (OSP) in 2014 noted that during Pam's term FL saw human trafficking [HT] cases increased 60% & defendants increased 8X(23 → 179).

Moreover, 4yrs later [2018] Active HT cases were up 30% from 2017.

🚨 Profs Herrick & @Azeem_Majeed on clinical vulnerability

We are grateful that data collected by CVF (last year) was used by @covidinquiryuk to highlight some of the ongoing impacts faced by Clinically Vulnerable people.

1/

You can have a sneak (advanced) peak at @lara_wong's witness statement on behalf of Clinically Vulnerable Families...

Many and varied consequences (relating to mental health) were identified.
2/

Long term mental health impacts persist to this day.

Expulsions
Alternative history:

If Jews had had a nation, say in the 17th century - or earlier, how would they have treated outsiders (pagans, Christians)? Would such outsiders have been welcome, allowed to rise to middle class status, meddle with the affairs of aristocracy etc?

"under a genuinely halakhic regime, the question “Should we invite thousands of useful Christian merchants to live among us and help rebuild the economy?” would be laughed out of the room, or treated as a dangerous breach of purity."

"The default [would have been] expulsion or severe restriction, not invitation for pragmatic gain."

This is not surprising and, in fact, characteristic of Trump. The Americans elected as their president a man who was always notorious for not paying his debts and trying to wriggle out of agreements. Apparently, in the the kind of business he was in, this did him not harm.

Foreign policy is not like this. Already the ancients, Greeks and Romans, understood the importance of keeping agreements. This was underscored by giving keeping agreements religious significance and solemn ceremonies accompanying their signing.

This was true of most cultures for most of human history. In later times, when growing secularisation made the religious motive unreliable, other means of ensuring that treaties are kept were created. The concept of “national honor” was one of them.

The Josh Simons story isn't just about one minister commissioning smears on journalists. It's about a toxic political culture that was built to destroy Corbyn — and then walked straight into government.
My piece for @tribunemagazine 🧵 1/4

For years, Labour Together operated as an internal machine: donor-funded, factional, and ruthless.

Smears, briefings, disinformation — all justified as necessary to “save the party”.

But once you normalise that kind of politics, it doesn’t just switch off when you win.
🧵2/4

Now that culture pervades government under Keir Starmer.

From smear campaigns to cosy relationships with firms like Palantir, the pattern is the same: centralise power, sideline scrutiny, and serve those with wealth and influence. 🧵3/4

1/ Russia may be preparing to announce a mass mobilisation, a bad peace deal with the US, or confiscate people's savings to fund the war effort, according to Russian warbloggers. They suspect that the government wants to ban Telegram to block public dissent over such moves. ⬇️

2/ Russian officials have hinted strongly that Telegram, which is currently being slowed down and partly blocked by the government, faces a total ban by 1 April 2026. 'Alex Parker Returns' writes (in a since-deleted post) that the government faces a dilemma:

Competitors already know what works.

Analyzing their backlink profiles reveals proven opportunities.

One company had 150–200 authoritative links.

By targeting the same sources strategically, hundreds of new links can be earned in months without guessing.

Here’s a step-by-step approach to reverse engineer link strategies 🧵👇

1/ Why reverse engineering works:

The competitor advantage:

Traditional link building:

- Guess which tactics might work
- Trial and error approach
- Waste time on dead ends
- Unclear ROI

Reverse engineering:

- See exactly what worked for competitors
- Skip failed experiments
- Focus only on proven sources
- Clear success patterns

Competitors already found the opportunities. Use their research.

2/ Identifying the right competitor:

Target selection criteria:

Good competitors to analyze:

- Ranking above you (positions 1-5)
- Similar business model (not giants)
- Achievable domain authority (within 20 DR points)
- Active link building (recent link acquisition)

Poor choices:

- Massive brands (unreplicable advantages)
- Much older domains (historical links impossible)
- Different business type (irrelevant tactics)
- Stagnant profile (no recent activity)

Example: Don't reverse engineer Amazon. Do reverse engineer competitor at DR 55 when you're at DR 38.

tl;dr persona kyc and openai are frens, using your selfie for verification and sending to ICE (or USGOV in general), using AI to tie to your financial records. see subsequent post for full write-up. its long and not mobile friendly

full write up: vmfunc.re/blog/persona

1. i didnt discover this, @vmfunc and friends did. im regurgitating their stuff

2. ive been informed discord stopped using persona. they use something else now. persona is still used in lots of places (like apparently roblox)

3. vmfunc and friends are still doing a write up about it and trying to talk to persona about it.

After all, since 2019 [1] [2], i.e. much earlier than Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, as suggested by the @FT article [3], the dictator of the RF, V. V. Pootin, has been promoting a revisionist version of the history of WWII with reference to Poland.

A common question about vaccine-associated myocarditis is how the risk compares to myocarditis from SARS-CoV-2 infection (Covid). Having reviewed this data closely, I want to walk through what the studies show and why the answer has changed over time. 🧵

2/ During 2020-2022, infection-associated myocarditis risk was generally higher, though the margins were tighter than people realize. Copland 2024 studied 5.1 million children in England. In unvaccinated adolescent males, infection caused 11 excess myocarditis cases per million. The second vaccine dose caused 9 excess per million.
nature.com/articles/s4146…

3/ Infection also carried risks vaccination did not. 84 excess cases of MIS-C per million in unvaccinated adolescents. And vaccination eliminated these risks: MIS-C and myocarditis following infection were largely absent in kids who'd been vaccinated before getting infected.

The Human Problem: Mimetic Rivalry

Human beings imitate not only behavior but desire. We want what others want. This imitation escalates into rivalry. Rivalry spreads. Crisis follows. When crisis becomes uncontrollable, societies resolve it through a scapegoat.

The community converges on a single victim. The victim is blamed for the chaos. The victim is expelled or killed. Peace returns. The victim is later mythologized as either monster or god. This pattern, lies beneath archaic religion, myth, and even early political order.

Religion, in its ancient form, is born from this violent expulsion. It sacralizes the killing that restored peace. In myth Greek, Roman, Mesopotamian, etc. The victim is guilty. The mob is portrayed as justified. Violence appears sacred. The community’s unity seems righteous.

NEW: The Marylander Condominium needed millions in repairs after Prince George's County stood by as a nearby homeless encampment terrorized the condo.

One bank said it would lend if the county guaranteed the loan.

But the county refused—and now residents are being evicted.🧵

After members of the encampment allegedly vandalized the boiler room, 100 units were left without heat and in violation of local safety codes. The damage prompted building inspectors to deem those units "unfit for human habitation" in December and order their occupants to leave.

The situation made the Marylander toxic to lenders, who feared that it was all but guaranteed to default. Starved for credit and at risk of collapse, the condo found financing from a local bank that agreed to lend on one condition: The county would have to guarantee the loan.
