@JTAlexander @varrock If the voters choose not to vote, that’s their call.

Seriously, if media reporting on the latest outrage named the judge and mentioned when the judge is on the ballot, citizens could channel their righteous anger into the peaceful voting booth.
@JTAlexander @varrock Not a judicial retention election, but California’s version. share.google/fqipWTTBdh5j7O…

@GirlyScouts Here is literally 1700 studies that support this claim. You're welcome to debunk them based on the data or the methodology, but, obviously, not your feelings as that would be unscientific.
You may begin when ready.

@GirlyScouts "This annotated bibliography describes 343 scholarly investigations … demonstrating women are as physically aggressive as men (or more) in their relationships with their spouses or opposite-sex partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 440,850 people." Image
@GirlyScouts "Almost 24% of all relationships had some violence, and half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases." Image

1/n: I could be wrong, of course, but my take about this hantavirus outbreak is less about the actual outbreak and more about what it means in the context of the last two decades and moving forward. Let me explain...
2/n: As I said on BBC this evening, we might see additional cases, but I don't think this will be a major epidemic beyond the obvious human tragedy of those who lost their lives, and possibly a few others who could still get very sick.
3/n: New World hantavirus infections are rough stuff, once symptoms begin, the resulting cytokine storm and ARDS means there's not much of a window before getting them into an ICU, and often on ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which requires a high level of skill.

While it was good to pick up some coverage, Mr Legg was *so* conservative that I don't consider a genuine effort at a valuation.

I thought I would reverse engineer his model and put in some more sensible assumptions.

$LIB.V $VLTLF
Skipping over the detail, here is the summary of my effort, which to my mind is close enough to Mr. Legg's numbers.

Notes:
- $20k lithium
- averaging ~50% utilization of plants
- per share metrics using current share count
- he's doing some rounding down in his EBITDA multiples Image
The first Select site will have 20% excess capacity, so putting another 50% throttle on that is excessive.

What happens if we go with 1,000 tonnes/y (out of 1,200 nameplate)?

This: more like $3-$4 per share, rather than $2. Image

Magnesium + potassium combination lowered cortisol by ~45% and completely eliminated severe insomnia in a recent clinical trial.

(🧵1/7)Image
They gave type 2 diabetics with sleep disorders one of four treatments:

◇ Placebo (T1)
◇ Magnesium (Mg, T2)
◇ Potassium (K, T3)
◇ A combination of Mg and K (T4)

each at 250 mg - for 2 months. Keep in mind this is a puny amount of potassium.

The results were astonishing. Image
People taking either magnesium or potassium showed lower cortisol,

but people taking BOTH (T4) saw the biggest reduction - down from 41.57 ug/dL all the way down to 22.7.

That is a drop of 45.4%! Insane. Image

Day 1, week 2 of the 57th 9/11 pretrial hearings at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba began at 0900. Image
Commissions were called to order around 0900. Khalid Shaikh Mohammad is the only defendant in court today. Ammar al Baluchi is reportedly dealing with health issues and is thus absent.
Judge Schrama informed the court he is considering cancelling the June/July sessions to work on suppression and discovery rulings. 27 discovery issues are in the pipeline -- he doesn't think he can make it through all this summer but it could be a focus, open to recommendations.

"Brains don't fully mature until age 25!" is pseudoscience weaponized by feminists to justify bad behavior. It has been refuted by mainstream academics, libtard mainstream media, and it even has a Wikipedia refutation. Image
The concept of a "fully mature" brain is also pseudoscience. This is a complex topic so I will attempt to simplify... Brain "maturation" = neural pathways becoming stabilized, large reduction in passive neuroplasticity (automatic rewiring), pruning of weak/unused pathways, etc.
Different brain regions "mature" at different ages, with some individual variability, e.g.:
Brainstem/hindbrain = infancy
Sensory & motor cortex = childhood
Limbic system = adolescence
Prefrontal cortex = early to mid 20s
Social cognition network = early 30s
Hippocampus = never.

1/ $ASTS Q4 → Q1 deck comparison:

Q4 was a buildout momentum deck.

Q1 is a commercialization readiness deck.

More MNOs, FCC SCS authorization, 2026 revenue guidance, named integration countries, and stronger manufacturing signals.
2/ $ASTS Biggest caveat:

Q4 target: 45–60 satellites in orbit by YE 2026.

Q1 target: approximately 45 satellites in orbit during 2026.

The high end got de-emphasized. But ~45 satellites would still be a massive deployment year.
3/ $ASTS Manufacturing update was strong.

Q4: BlueBird 8–29 in production.

Q1: BlueBird 11–33 in advanced production/assembly, with phased arrays completed through BB28.

Midland micron facility is now fully operational.

The Court lifted the injunction on the redrawing of Alabama's districts. The three liberal justices dissented, stating that allowing the change will "cause only confusion as Alabamians begin to vote." Yet, is avoiding confusion or discrimination more important at this moment?
...I agreed with the decision in Callais, but I thought that the dissent had principled objections. However, now that the Court has barred racial gerrymandering, one would think that using such discriminatory districts would be viewed as the worst possible option...
...It seems like it demands more than a shrug if the state has the ability to use districts, which are not racially gerrymandered and presumptively unconstitutional.

Jesus' first miracle wasn't really about running out of wine.

It was about something theologians have argued over for 2,000 years.

The wedding at Cana contains one of the most layered symbols in all of Scripture.

Most people read right past it.

A thread on what it actually means.🧵Image
The story: John 2:1–11. A wedding in Cana of Galilee. The wine runs out.

Mary tells Jesus. He responds:

"Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come." (v.4)

That phrase — "My hour" — appears 7 times in John. Every single time, it refers to the cross.

He knew exactly what He was doing.
The jars matter enormously.

"Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding 20 to 30 gallons." (v.6)

Six jars. Not seven; the number of completion in Hebrew culture.

Six is the number of man. Of incompleteness. Of a covenant that hadn't yet been fulfilled.Image

🧵 MV HONDIOUS HANTAVIRUS:

COORDINATED PHARMA-CONTRACTOR PLAYBOOK

1/15
🚨 MV Hondius Hantavirus: NOT random. COORDINATED.
17 Americans quarantined Omaha
3 dead (Andes strain)
Jake's sister works Hagerty Consulting (FEMA contractor)
2025 contracts pre-positioned
WHO ejected. FEMA gutted. NOT random. Thread 👇 #Hantavirus #MVHondius #FEMA

2/15
EXEC SUMMARY:

MV Hondius outbreak (Apr–May 2026, 7 cases/3 deaths) follows 2025 playbook:

1. Defund public health (CDC/WHO cuts)
Seed emotional influencer (Jake)

2. Harvest via contractors (Hagerty/FEMA)

3. During post-WHO US withdrawal vacuum. NOT anomaly—execution.

Valium was the number one selling drug in the world for 15 consecutive years.

The ads showed pale, worried mothers. Women described as having "female nerves." A single woman at 35 described as "psychoneurotic" because she wasn't married.

Here's how it happened.
🧵 1/5
These weren't consumer ads. They were ads in medical journals. To doctors.

Doctors had been trained to view female emotional discomfort as a chemical problem requiring a chemical fix.

The marketing explicitly framed medicated women as more manageable. More tranquil. Better wives, better mothers.
2/5
The result: 70% of all benzodiazepine prescriptions went to women. 68% of all anti-anxiety medications. 80% of amphetamines.

The marketing targeted them by design.

By 1970, 20% of adult American women were regularly taking a benzo.
