Some more thoughts on KMT chairwoman Cheng Li-wun's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping:

1. Cheng went heavy on her emphasis of the shared Chinese heritage, the mention that both sides of the Taiwan Strait are "one family" and belong to the "Chinese nation." There are even some lines that mirror the Chinese Communist Party's official narrative, in which Cheng said both sides of the Taiwan Strait will be dedicated to fulfilling the "rejuvenation" of the Chinese nation.
These remarks reflect Cheng's attempt to appeal to Beijing's expectations, and it will be a high-risk gambit, as while the Chinese leadership might approve her messaging, many in the Taiwanese society, including some in her party, might not agree with the degree to which she has tried to align her messaging with Beijing's narrative.
2. The messaging from Xi is softer than usual, as he did not mention the "One China principle," which should be interpreted as Beijing's attempt to maintain the baseline message of peace and facilitate a more productive relationship with the KMT.

DIGITAL ARREST SCAM🚨

FULL LIVE RECORDING.

First time I have posted this thread in 2024, but still, I came to know that many people are getting trapped in this scam every day, and all this money goes abroad.

For awareness, I am reposting this thread.

Please share maximum. Image
2. First, I received a call from an unknown number informing me that my mobile numbers would be blocked in the next 4 hours as they were being used for harassment and financial fraud.

Scammers make this call in the name of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India @TRAI.
3. Next, they told me to reach the Lucknow police station in UP in 12 hours or register my statement on a WhatsApp video call.

Any normal person will choose the second option.

Because I wanted to record this scam, I acted like a dumb, afraid person!

I was wondering why Persian nationalists sympathize with the Iranian monarchy. I've been collecting data a bit, and here I'll post some links to the research. The reason is simple: the Iranian monarchs were Persian patriots.
We know that many Persian nationalists are opposed to the Islamic regime:

Tamil Nadu SIR | #SupremeCourt hears plea by person deleted from electoral roll.

Senior Advocate Gopal Sankarnarayanan: I was on the list throughout from 2007. I have my passport my aadhar my earlier epic. What more proof do I need? Now when I want to file my nomination I cannot.Image
Sankarnarayanan: organised political parties are different. I am an independent candidate.

Senior Advocate DS Naidu for ECI: it is too late

Sankarnarayanan: I don't understand why the election commission should get concerned with it. Why do you want to exclude people?
Sankarnarayanan: when somebody comes to the Supreme Court of India with every single piece of evidence over the last 15 years, I have my passport, what more am I supposed to show? Passport is proof of citizenship you should automatically add everybody who has a passport.

Can #LongCOVID brain fog be treated via the nose?

➡️ New research shows nasal anti-CD3 antibody therapy improves cognition in a Long COVID model.

👉 A noninvasive immunotherapy approach.

➡️ Key mechanism:

👉 Boosts regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the brain

➡️ Helps suppress harmful neuroinflammation

➡️ What changes in the brain?

• ↓ Microglial & astrocyte activation (gliosis)
• ↑ Neurogenesis
• Improved short-term memory

👉 Direct impact on brain repair. 1/Image
Microglia were “reprogrammed”:

👉 From inflammatory (NF-κB driven)

➡️ To regulatory/repair phenotype (TGFβ, phagosome pathways)

Clinical relevance:

👉 LongCOVID patients with neurological symptoms show reduced circulating Tregs

➡️ Supports immune dysregulation as a key driver. 2/Image
Take-home messages:

👉 Targeting neuroinflammation + immune regulation may reverse cognitive impairment

⚠️ Still preclinical—but highly promising

Key takeaway:

👉 A nasal immune therapy that reprograms brain inflammation may offer a new path to treating Long COVID brain fog. 3/3

1/7) We are excited to share our preprint, where we present a method to measure thrombo-inflammation that lead to systemic thrombotic endothelialitis in Long COVID, other post-viral and inflammatory diseases in general: with @dbkell and lead author Anél Thompsonbiorxiv.org/content/10.648…
2/7) Why do we say Long COVID is characterized by thrombotic endothelialitis

In Long COVID, the blood does not behave normally
It becomes more “sticky” and inflammatory.
This affects how blood flows through small vessels and may contribute to many symptoms
3/7) We looked at a key interaction in the blood:

Platelets (cells that help clot)
+
Monocytes (immune cells)
When they stick together, they form platelet–monocyte aggregates (PMAs) Image

@UmarFarouqKing1 @MFaarees_ 1. Since you have been in Coma from May 2023, I'll do this for you. Since his inauguration in May 2023, Tinubu has implemented a series of bold structural reforms under the "Renewed Hope" agenda. While these have led to significant short term economic strain for many Nigerians.
@UmarFarouqKing1 @MFaarees_ 2. Everyone that knows about basic Economics and without rotten minds would know that these reforms, no matter the effects in the short run, are necessary to correct the long standing distortions and build a sustainable economy. The Nigeria Economy was dead before Tinubu.
@UmarFarouqKing1 @MFaarees_ 3. Now I'll start listing the reforms and their benefits.
1. Fuel Subsidy Removal: Ended the decades old petroleum subsidy on day 1 bringing our fuel prices to the normal mkt price of over $/N1,000 per litre. This lead to high transport costs and 34.8% inflation in mid 2024.

Stop telling Claude: "build this"
Stop telling Claude: "write code"
Stop telling Claude: "fix this"

You're using a staff-level AI like a junior intern.

Claude performs best when you give: • role
• constraints
• architecture expectations
• output format
• real-world context

Here are 10 production-grade Claude prompts:Image
1. Startup MVP Builder

Act as a senior startup engineer responsible for building a production-ready MVP. Your job is to design scalable architecture before writing any code. Think like you're building a real company product.

Product idea: [Describe]
Target users: [Audience]
Core features: [List]
Tech stack: [Stack]
Constraints: [Performance / SSR / cost / etc]

Your output must include:

• system architecture
• database schema
• API structure
• folder structure
• authentication flow
• state management
• deployment plan
• scaling considerations
• edge cases
• production-quality code

Design this like a real startup shipping v1.
2. Full Feature Architect

Act as a staff engineer designing a complex feature for a production app. First design architecture, then implement clean maintainable code.

Feature: [Describe]
Users: [Target users]
Tech stack: [Stack]
Constraints: [Performance / SSR / minimal deps]

Return:

• architecture overview
• component breakdown
• data flow
• API endpoints
• folder structure
• UI structure
• state handling
• edge cases
• error handling
• final production code

Focus on scalability and maintainability.

The time is nigh to discuss a tale of 4 eBay hard drives! We had some shipping perils, some DOA perils, and perhaps finally some success? Let's find out! 🧵time! Image
Image
Image
Image
So, let's start with the two drives in the first box. While the seller did issue a full refund, he "couldn't possibly imagine" that the drives were damaged in shipment. That makes the one of us 🤣 Image
Starting with the first drive, Western Digital Data Lifeguard found and fixed errors on one of the drives. Great! Image

@GibsTweets_KF Here's audio recording of Jersh defending a board for pedophiles to discuss being pedophiles. Here's also a post he made on KF doubling down on defending it. I know you've seen these.
Image
@GibsTweets_KF Here he is also admitting to finding Etna hot, a child character, when he was 15, well after it would have been "age appropriate" like with the shota catboys. Again, you've seen these and you don't care. Fuck you and that male feminist psychopath.
