🧵 Venezuela Crisis Explained in Pictures 🧵#thread
Once South America's richest nation, Venezuela plunged into catastrophe: hyperinflation, shortages, malnutrition, protests, blackouts, abandoned oil fields, and the largest exodus in the Americas' history (~7.7M refugees).

From economic collapse under socialism to today's dramatic escalation—US strikes capture Maduro (Jan 3, 2026), ending his regime amid explosions in Caracas.

starting with $10k of $wstETH as collateral and borrowed 7,500 $crvUSD against it.
current net borrow rate (wstETH yield – borrow rate): -0.11%. so yes, i’m technically being paid to borrow.

for the loan i chose “Max LTV” setting.
i’m not planning to sit in liquidation protection, so i take the higher LTV instead.
liquidation protection only kicks in if $wstETH trades between $3,194 and $3,068. (1 $wstETH = $3,794). enough buffer for me to repay if eth dumps.

In a world that rewards noise with attention and force with victory, you choose the strength of stillness, the might of restraint. This act, this “Controlled Rebellion”, is a refusal to play by the rules of a game rigged against you —
a rejection of the script that demands you shout to be heard. Instead, you change the world with a whisper, with a step aside that exposes the fragility of the constructs. Through this book, that power is magnified,
its pages a testament to how turning the other cheek can
its pages a testament to how turning the other cheek can
topple empires—not with fists, but with the unshakable resolve to stand apart, to love fiercely, to hope relentlessly. People like us, armed with this quiet rebellion are already rewriting the narrative of the world, one gentle defiance at a time.
🧵 THREAD: The Hidden Divine Code between the Ramayana & Gayatri Mantra 🔱✨
Did you know the Ramayana is not just an epic… It is a living mantra?

1️⃣ Gayatri Mantra
One of the most sacred mantras of Sanatan Dharma.
Origin: Rig Veda (Mandala 3.62.10)
It is the prayer for divine light, wisdom, and inner awakening.
But here’s where it gets mystical 👇

2️⃣ The Gayatri Mantra has 24 syllables.
Now pause for a second…
The Valmiki Ramayana has exactly 24,000 shlokas.
Coincidence?
Not in Sanatan Dharma. 🔥

I think we've let the damage that covid infections do to *linings* slip into the background of all the other problems that covid infections cause.
I think this may be a *big* problem.
I think this may be a *big* problem.
We've known right from the start that Covid is unusually good at damaging two types of cells (among all the many others):
*Endothelial Cells*
Endothelial cells line every blood vessel in the body.
They're not a passive lining like a hose or drainpipe - they're a very complex active system, a living gatekeeper and regulator.

🧵 Silver doesn’t react to headlines.
It reacts to SYSTEM STRESS.
U.S. military action in Venezuela isn’t about silver supply.
But it does matter for silver — a lot.

Venezuela is NOT the story
Venezuela is not a major silver producer.
This isn’t a mine shutdown narrative.
So if silver moves, it’s not because of Latin America.

This is about global rule-breakdown
The U.S. capturing a sitting head of state sends a clear signal:
• sovereignty is conditional
• international rules are flexible
• assets, reserves, leaders — all can be seized
That accelerates de-risking from the system.
And silver lives outside the system.

Low vasopressin could lead to low blood volume and some of the orthostatic symptoms that ME/CFS patients report.

2) The authors looked into this as ME/CFS patients often suffer from polyuria, similar to diabetes patients.
They write: "Patients with ME/CFS often describe excessive thirst and high urine volumes, symptoms that are regularly dismissed if not specifically asked about."

3) They also measured the osmalility, the concentration of dissolved particles, after 10 hours of overnight fasting. In plasma it was abnormally high in 57% of patients, while in urine it was reduced in 66%.
This indicates too much water in the urine, too little in the blood.

The most overlooked fact in UK politics: migration is plunging.
It could hit tens of thousands this year. Perhaps even net-zero.
This would be a political game-changer – and Starmer has all the tools to make it happen.

My colleague Tom Calver looks at the collapse in visa numbers here - and how Warwick Uni's James Bowes joined the dots.
As ever with migration numbers, huge uncertainty. But given Oct25 work visa applications, the net-zero scenario is very plausible. thetimes.com/comment/column…

Net migration has already fallen lower than OBR thought it would go this parliament. And that was the year to Jun25.
So net figures could already be running at lowest for decades.
