Jeffrey Epstein funded Bill Ackman's wife's Death Mask project. What a small world!
Video source is here--there are other interesting videos besides from that account:

The EU may give Ukraine EU-level protections before full membership
The EU is weighing a peace-deal formula that grants Kyiv early access to EU membership rights and safeguards, locking in a time-bound path to full accession, possibly by 2027 — Bloomberg.

One option would grant Ukraine up-front accession protections, legal, economic, and regulatory safeguards, plus immediate access to selected EU rights, before formal membership.

At the same time, the EU would lock in a time-bound accession roadmap, fixed steps and deadlines, replacing today’s open-ended process that can stall for years.

🧵What does paleoclimatology tell us about Earth's present climate?
1. We live in one of 3 brief ice-age periods that have occurred since higher life forms appeared on this planet some 540 My ago. Despite large climatic variations during the Phanerozoic, the overall trend of global temperature in this Eon has been close to zero, and the Earth is currently 7.5 °C cooler than the long-term Phanerozoic average of 22.1 °C as shown on the attached graph.
Our present cold period marked by permanent Polar icecaps and mountain glaciers called the Pleistocene-Holocene Ice Age, which began 2.6 My ago, is climatologically similar to only two other periods in the last 540 My: the Hirnantian glaciation of the Late Ordovician some 445 My ago, and the Pennsylvanian glaciation of the Late Carboniferous about 320 My ago... Thus, from a geological standpoint, we inhabit an unusual "cold snap" in time.

Thus, from a geological standpoint, we inhabit an unusual "cold snap" in time.
2. We live in an unusually decompressed atmospheric environment. Our present mean surface air pressure (98.55 kPa) is 46% lower than the average atmospheric pressure of 182.1 kPa estimated for the Phanerozoic Eon, i.e. the last 540 My.
The attached graph shows the reconstructed dynamics of total surface atmospheric pressure produced by the NZ Universal Planetary Temperature Model using the above global temperature record as input.
There are two main reasons for concluding that changes in atmospheric mass and total pressure were the driver of Earth's paleoclimate:
a) Our analysis of NASA planetary data showed that the long-term (baseline) global surface temperature of a rocky planet only depends on two factors: the planet's orbital distance from the Sun (diabatic forcing) and the mean atmospheric pressure at the surface (adiabatic forcing). Since current orbital models indicate no significant change in the mean annual Earth-Sun distance for 100s of millions of years, the adiabatic forcing delivered by air pressure remains as the sole possible driver;
b) The extended NZ Model, which accurately describes baseline surface temperatures at several key latitudes on any rocky planet as a function of incoming solar radiation and total air pressure, can correctly predict the Polar Amplifications observed in the geological record of Earth only by assuming a variable pressure through time. Polar Amplification refers to the fact that, in the deep past, polar temperatures have always varied more (wider) than equatorial temperatures. In other words, warmer periods have always had smaller meridional (equator-to-pole) temperature gradients than colder periods. The observed Polar Amplifications cannot be reproduced at all by assuming a variable TSI (Total Solar Irradiance)! Hence, solar luminosity was not the driver of Earth's large paleoclimatic fluctuations.

3. We live in one of the least equable climates during the Phanerozoic Eon (past 540 My). Equable climates are characterized by small latitudinal temperature gradients and more uniform climate conditions throughout the Globe. The attached graph shows a reconstructed dynamics of the Meridional (equator-to-pole) Temperature Gradient (MTG) produced by the NZ Model upon assuming a variable atmospheric pressure through time.
Periods of smaller (less steep) MTGs are associated with higher atmospheric pressures and warmer global climates. Smaller MTGs also imply warmer Poles and the occurrence of fewer, less severe storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes throughout the Globe.
The Earth's present MTG (46.8 °C) is much larger than the estimated mean MTG during the Phanerozoic Eon (33 °C).

The thieves understand very well what they've done, that's why they spirited their stolen loot to Los Angeles, California, out of reach of Confederate supporters.
It cost them millions to transport their loot to California where they now display it in a Museum of Stolen Art.

Most people think trauma = "something terrible happened."
In nervous-system terms it's simpler:
If, as a kid, your body learned "being fully myself isn't safe"—that's unresolved trauma.
Not in your memories. In your chronic stress settings.

Russia’s war in Ukraine has increasingly become a war of drones, but artillery still plays a key role on the battlefield. Newly obtained documents from 2014 to 2025 show that Russia continues to modernize its artillery production using industrial machinery from Europe. 🧵Thread:
2/ In a joint analysis, Frontelligence Insight and the @dallasparkua company reviewed hundreds of internal documents from Russian defense contractor Zenit-Investprom and found that Plant No. 9, a maker of artillery barrels and tank guns, went through major upgrades in 2025
3/ Six facilities within the Uralmash industrial zone were found to be undergoing modernization, including planned delivery of industrial machinery from several European countries. Several workshops were dedicated to work on the Armata project and the Koalitsiya SPG.
Russia gave its main security agency legal power to shut down internet and phone service nationwide. Like in Iran: cut the web when protests erupt.

Under the Qing dynasty, China experienced a massive expansion in population, growing from 50-150 million persons in the Ming Era to around 400 million by the mid 19th century.
The main reasons for this extraordinary expansion🧵

Was first its military expansion, by 1760, the Qing, under the "Ten Great Campaigns of conquest," had incorporated a massive amount of new land.
In the following decades, a mass movement of Han people into this new farmland significantly expanded agricultural production.
Many arguments on training devolve into which zone or intensity is best, or that low intensity doesn’t work.
But training is not a protocol problem. It is a constrained optimization problem, and the protocol you select personally will depend on your personal constraints 👇

All training is trying to maximize:
- Capacity to perform work
- Capacity to recover from work
- Capacity to repeat work
- Capacity to perform work
- Capacity to recover from work
- Capacity to repeat work
So the generalized objective is:
Maximize the integral of adaptation signals that increase future work capacity, without triggering failure modes (injury, burnout, fatigue, etc.).
