Key Genetic Composition of South Indians
Neolithic farmers from Iran began mixing with local hunter-gatherers (AASI) ~10k to 7k years ago. This mixture formed the basis of the Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC), the dominant genetic component across all South Indians (55%–78%)
1/10 Image
Ancient Ancestral South Indians (AASI): This is the truly indigenous lineage of South Asia, descended from hunter-gatherers who arrived roughly 50,000–70,000 years ago. It is most prominent in South Indian tribal groups (e.g., Paniya and Irula)
2/10
Neolithic farmers from the Zagros Mountains (modern-day Iran) migrated to the subcontinent and mixed with AASI to form the Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC). This component is the single largest genetic contributor to almost all South Indians, typically ranging from 55% to 78%

What is PVC?

Polyvinyl Chloride is a type of synthetic plastic material made from petroleum (crude oil) and salt (chlorine). It is widely used to make pipes, fittings, cables, and many everyday products

Key PVC Pipes:

uPVC remains volume backbone, with FY12–FY15 being largely uPVC-driven due to Agri +drainage usage

Now, CPVC is gaining share in premium plumbing, while PVC-O is emerging as the next growth driver, driven by infra demand for high-pressure water pipelines

Not all PTSD reflects the same neurobiological pattern.

Some presentations are predominantly hyperaroused. Others are predominantly dissociative. 

This distinction has direct clinical implications:🧵👇 Image
Around 13–30% of individuals with PTSD meet criteria for the dissociative subtype.

So treating all PTSD as one neurobiological pattern risks clinical oversimplification.

This suggests that hyperaroused and dissociative PTSD may reflect different underlying regulatory patterns.
Broadly, these presentations map onto 2 different patterns of corticolimbic regulation:

• hyperaroused PTSD → emotional undermodulation
• dissociative PTSD → emotional overmodulation

That difference helps explain why PTSD presentations can look very different.

I just reread Adam Tooze's magisterial The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy, and the parallels with Russia's deteriorating wartime economy are striking.
By the late 1930s, Hitler's massive rearmament program consumed 20% of national income.
1/
The result was a civilian sector starved of labor, materials, and capital.
Consumer goods production was squeezed, infrastructure lagged, and bottlenecks spread across the country.
Despite headline armaments growth, overall productivity was undermined.
2/ Image
This imbalance drove hidden deficits, liquidity strain, and chronic shortages.
With domestic consumption suppressed and foreign exchange limited, the German system became increasingly unstable.
This perversely supported the Nazi ideology of the necessity of conquest.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME was released 7 years ago today. The goodbye story for the original 6 Avengers, and one of the biggest movies ever made, ATRM telling its story is as inevitable as Thanos…

1/63 Image
The story of Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones to wipe out half the universe was so epic, Marvel Studios knew they needed two films to do it. Infinity War and Endgame were filmed in one 200-day production. With Infinity War making $2bn, the pressure was on for Endgame.
2/63 Image

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely – who had written all 3 Captain America movies and Thor: The Dark World – penned both parts, and filmmaking brothers Anthony and Joe Russo directed. They would all go on to sit among the most commercially successful filmmakers ever.

1/7 SO many IDIOTS in this country. People who bought Trump's BULLSHIT that all the news organizations other than Fox or News Max are "fake news". He had to do this to cover his ass when they reported a TRUE incident...to combat that he made you think only Donald Trump was
2/7 telling the truth. It is the SAME thing he did with the 2020 election. Instead of being branded a LOSER after Joe Biden was due to win, he called the election "fraudulent", so he could say "I didn't lose the election, they stole it from me" (which is EXACTLY what happened in
3/7 the 2024 election...they are now finding out it was rigged with help from Elon Musk and his satellites), which was pure bullshit; even his personal attorney Bill Barr investigated and found NO evidence of fraud. Trump even hired TWO firms to investigate the election to look

What happens when a traumatised society wields enormous, unchecked power?
Israel's identity has been systematically built around victimhood. From childhood Israelis are immersed in Holocaust education, intended not for empathy but to internalise an existential fear.
School trips to Poland, state rituals and curriculum all reinforce one message: Jews are perpetually threatened and only military strength can ensure survival. This isn't accidental; it's engineered.

1/ Russia's premier drone unit, Rubikon, has published statistics on the Ukrainian targets it has hit to date. To the concern of some Russian warbloggers, they reveal a strikingly different targeting strategy from that used by Ukraine. ⬇️ Image
2/ Boris Rozhin reports on his 'Colonelcassad' Telegram channel:

"The Rubikon Center's official channel has published over 24,000 episodes of enemy target destruction.

Structure and dynamics of hit targets by type:
3/ "36.7% (+0.3%) - Unmanned systems (multicopter and aircraft UAVs, ground robots)

16.7% (-0.2%) - Communication and surveillance equipment

15.8% (+0.3%) - Ground hardened targets (airborne, field fortifications)

12.2% (-0.2%) - Unarmoured vehicles

First German Military Strategy

1/14

Germany presents its first Military Strategy today. Not a strategic big bang, but an important step: Germany is formally stating what it wants to be able to do militarily — nationally, in NATO, and for Europe. Image
2/14
The 5 points to watch:
Europe from national strength

industry as the key gap
limited public prioritisation
Russia as military focal point
deep strike as the most interesting capability signal.
3/14
The biggest step forward is this: Germany frames European defence more clearly from national strength. Not: cooperation compensates for missing capabilities. Rather: national capabilities make cooperation credible.
