🧵Last night a federal court granted Apple's request to force me to delete my public speech about Apple using their employee's bodies like lab rats & gagged me from talking about it going forward with no end date. No hearing or findings; and Apple decides what I can & can't say.
Apple's motion was denied — the judge said Apple didn't follow the rules. Then the judge gave Apple everything Apple asked for anyways & more, without explanation or justification. Takedown order. Gag order. Sealing. Despite no motion for any of it.
The NLRB already investigated. Apple signed a national settlement promising to stop silencing workers with overbroad confidentiality rules. Now Apple is using a court order to do the exact thing it told the federal government it would stop doing.
A brief biography of Turki al-Bin’ali, before his career within the Islamic State: 
He was born in 1984 to a relatively well off Bahrani family, and was immediately thrust into religious studies, studying at the private Imam School in Bahrain and memorizing the Quran.
He then studied at the Dubai College for Islamic studies, running into his first issues with the law over alleged “extremism”. After his release, he completed his studies at the Bahrain shariah institute and Beirut’s Imam al-Awazi College.
@Huk06 @TheSaviour It can browse recent standings and news. That’s how you train a model on a vector database using RAG, combining current updates with past hallucinations. I guess you’re not aware of this. Why are you such an idiot?
@Huk06 @TheSaviour When you’ve got nothing to say, you resort to this. Keep crying, keep coping. I may only have 7 followers, but I’ve got more self‑integrity than this man. 🫡

Great bands last long, they don't go for the quick hits. If along an illustrious long career, they manage to innovate, break new ground and maintain a higher quality standard, then are in a superior category.
Roxy Music, 1972, "Virginia plain"
Roxy Music, 1972, "Virginia plain"
Both Brian Eno and Bryan Ferry shaped the first 2 years of the band. After Eno's departure in 1973, it was Ferry's show with the help of the core McKay / Manzanera. Still with Eno clearly influencing the sound, "Ladytron", 1972.
Eno and Ferry clearly were at odds, both musically and literally. Eno launched a spectacular solo career, but with his exit the electronic/experimental sound was gone, and Ferry's strong R&B roots took hold, along with erotic lyrics.
An elegant Ukrainian “wing-over-copter” FPV design provides additional lift to greatly extend range.
It differs significantly from the Russian “KVS’ ring-wing FPV.
The wing freely swivels to maintain its optimal angle of attack as the FPV pitches down to increase speed.

Range extensions of standard 10 km FPVs reaching 30–50 km with the wing have apparently been achieved.
If true, that would lend some credence to the Russian claim of tripling the range with their ring-wing design.

$SPY ripped 3% today. Most people saw the move. Almost nobody understood why.

Every quarter, JPMorgan rolls a massive collar position on SPX.
That means they sell calls and buy puts at different strikes.
For Q1, the long put sat at 6,475 with roughly 32k contracts and nearly $2B of negative dealer gamma tied to that single strike — you can see it in the attached as the largest negative gamma bar on the entire GEX chart.
When SPX fell below 6,475 in mid‑March, that put inverted. Instead of acting as a floor, it became a ceiling. Dealers short that gamma had to sell into every rally that approached 6,475 to stay hedged.

That’s what negative gamma does. Market makers aren’t choosing to sell — they’re forced to. Their hedging models require it. Every time SPX pushed toward 6,475, dealers sold futures. Price stalled. Pulled back. For two weeks, 6,475 was a wall.
But today was the last day of Q1. The collar expires at today’s close.

🚨 Do you understand what Oracle just did..
they fired 30,000 people.. via 6 AM email.. while reporting a 95% increase in net income last quarter..
Oracle isn't a struggling company .. Oracle made MORE money than ever.. and still fired 30,000 people because they're spending $156 billion on AI data centres instead..
and Larry Ellison.. the guy who just fired 30,000 families.. is worth $200 billion.. the 3rd richest person on earth.. he owns an entire Hawaiian island.. Lanai.. 98% of it.. bought it for $300 million like it was a vacation home..
this is the same playbook every single time..
IBM fired 7,800 and replaced them with AI in 2023.. Amazon cut 27,000 the same year while reporting record revenue.. Atlassian cut thousands while profits climbed.. Google laid off 12,000 while sitting on $100 billion in cash..
they told you to learn to code.. you learned to code.. they told you to upskill.. you upskilled.. and then they replaced you with the thing you helped build and sent the termination letter before you woke up..
the company made record profits and decided the reward for that was firing the people who made it happen.

ARE IMPLANTS HIGH-RISK AND UNHEALTHY?
NO.
For some reason there are fake statistics about breast-implant complication rates and durability going around Twitter right now. I don't want to write a long thread about this, but I'll do a quick summary to correct the wrong ideas.👇

First of all, when implants first became popular in the 90s complication rates were very high. If you quote studies from that time you can make them seem like a terrible idea that's sure to fail. That's because surgeons didn't know what they were doing yet.
But complication rates have gone down and down. Surgeons have been doing hundreds of thousands of augmentations a year for thirty years now. That's a huge medical industry working to improve outcomes. And they succeeded. If you look at studies over time, they get safer and safer.

Ukraine's Defense Minister Fedorov: Ukrainian forces receive daily video evidence of Russian infantry killing themselves on the battlefield.

The pattern is consistent. Soldiers arrive undertrained, with no evacuation options, under constant drone surveillance.
When wounded or encircled, they see no way out. Russian military policy discourages surrender. Propaganda tells them it is better to die immediately. 2/
