In a blog entitled โUnthinkable,โ Russian war correspondent and blogger Nikita Tretyakov is deeply critical of the results and consequences of Russiaโs disastrous โspecial operationโ in Ukraine.

โI donโt want to even suspect that Alaska, just like European actions, was designed to buy time for the rearmament of the Kiev regime, which would last longer than the First and Great Patriotic Wars.โ

โHow can I not agree with Mr. Lavrov โ there are many things that are hard to think about, and I really wouldnโt want to think about them, for example:

@MadamSavvy @Awk20000 ๐งตBecause it's projection. The Piker is entirely performative in his manner of being. It's why the multi-faceted designation sits within the category of lolcow But it goes just a bit beyond that
@MadamSavvy @Awk20000 The Piker Projectionโข and The Piker Projection Ruleโข are jokes but they carry a truth to them that you have to take seriously: Whether he performs for being emotive or he's expressing accusation towards someone of something he actually has or is doing, are heuristics.
@MadamSavvy @Awk20000 Consider from the very start of his birth (New Brunswick, N.J. because he's an anchor babe), reared (Istanbul, Turkey), his higher education history (poli-sci + comms; all non-STEM degrees), and the financial class he was born into. 
The left did not replace white Americans, they culturally replaced black Americans:
-BLM was replaced by Palestine
-Obama bros' were replaced by the Zorhan wing.
-Rap/hip hop was replaced by latin-fusion and afro-beats
-Black Church influence was replaced by Islamic influence
-BLM was replaced by Palestine
-Obama bros' were replaced by the Zorhan wing.
-Rap/hip hop was replaced by latin-fusion and afro-beats
-Black Church influence was replaced by Islamic influence
All the culture influence that black Americans used to exercise has been absorbed by various third world groups - mostly by Islamic, Middle-eastern, and various "global south" ethnic cultural influence (think Somalia).
Black Americans have been relegated to the back burner.
Black Americans have been relegated to the back burner.
It's a chance for the Pro-American right to show that the left never actually cared about American blacks - it only ever saw them as a means to grab power - and as soon as third world/global south immigrant votes became available the left kicked black people to the curb.

After 4 years, it's rather nice to finally present our work on genetic's model trait, height, in >1.4M WES/WGS samples led by @doc_locke, @Mar_ferreira17, & @gabecasis where we found 207 genes [amongst many other results].

After conditioning on common variants, we found 207 genes (P<1.75e-9) via @marchini & @covariani's gene-P method to combine burden, SBAT, SKAT-O, & ACAT-V gene-based tests into 1 p-value. Burden tests find the majority of genes, but 28 (14%) are found only via SKAT-O/ACAT-V.
With burden tests, we observed the classic tradeoff between adding increasingly common variants to boost statistical power (via more allele counts) at the cost of weaker effect sizes.
Ex: We found 17 genes via singleton pLoFs (|ฮฒ|=9cm) but 76 genes from <1% pLoFs (|ฮฒ|=4cm).

โThe pool? Yes. It's in great shape. No. Ready? Thugs. They just told me a little while ago. Six have been arrested and like six or seven are under arrest. They have pictures and everything else. They went to the bottom and it's not a paint job. It's very expensive. It's not rubber but it's like rubber. And they went down with probably a box cutter or a very sharp razor of some kind of a knife. They cut and then they started ripping it up. You know why? Because there's sick people. And then the side of the pool, right at the water level, they took razors and they started cutting this very expensive stuff. It's incredible stuff. It's beautiful. And it's still beautiful. We have one area where they cut it. It's still holding. It's not leaking. But they hurt it so probably maybe after July 4th or maybe before. I don't know. Well, let a little water out because it's at the edge. They'll cut it. They'll replace it and it'll be as good as new. But these people should go to jail for a long time. You know, there's a statue that I saw when I had my first here that if you do anything to hurt statues or monuments, fountains in Washington, D.C. or federal fountain, it's actually federal all over the country. But you go to jail for 10 years and there's no shortcuts. In other words, it's not five years for good behavior. It's a very tough statue. And so tough that it really hasn't been used very much over the years. But I used it when they had a problem in Washington where they were trying to hurt the sickos, would try to hurt things, and I announced it. As soon as I announced it, read it, announced it. And I said, 10 years for anybody, everybody dropped what they had, including ropes. They had ropes. They were tying ropes around Thomas Jefferson's head, Andrew Jackson right up there, that a rope around his head on that incredible statue. I said, as soon as I invoked it, everybody left, that's still in play. They could go to jail for 10 years. They better be careful. They have a gash on that beautiful pool. It's a reflecting point. This is a very expensive material. Then on top of it, we did a much bigger job than we said we were going to do because we did all the outer areas. We did a beautiful job. It's like a piece of glass. And for some reason, this disturbed the radical left lunatics. You know, the guy that one of the guys, he's a member or a big pair to act blue. He's a big Hillary supporter. He's a big supporter of Sleepy Joe Biden. No, this is a very political thing. But as I understand it, six are under arrest. This was pure vandalism. It's an amazing thing that we did. Don't forget, it hasn't worked properly since it was built because it always leaked in 1922. So it was built in 1922. So that's 100 years more ago. It's never worked properly. I always said, had great potential. And I said in my first term, I'm going to do something. So Biden and Obama, between the two of them, spent over $100 million. It was a disaster. Obama, because of the environment, took the water from the Potomac, and it was horrible. It was bad. I don't want to have to tell you what happened, but it was really bad. You can read about it. Biden, he didn't have any idea what the hell they were doing because he didn't know what anything was happening. But they spent over $100 million. We spent 14 or 15 in a lot less than that because a lot of these people worked for the Parks Department anyway. So they're going to work. So I would say a lot less. And we put a great surface on it. This is a world-class surface. It looked beautiful. But they came in and they cut it. And then they grabbed it and they pulled it up. That's why it's all ripped. And who would even think of it? They're sick people. So I think they're in big trouble. But here's the bottom line.โ

โWe temporarily patched it. Even though we stopped-- it's so good that with all that damage they did, it's not linking. And it looks really beautiful. I just had pictures taken. It's reflective. It's beautiful. Like it did a week ago. And then we're going to let a little water, because you have to let the water out to fix it. We're going to fix it. And then the water goes back in and won't take long. We made do it before July 4th, or we made do it just after July 4th. Now, we have it a little bit fenced up, because we have a big fireworks this day. And tonight, I'm making speech. And people like my speeches. But I guess we're going to have a lot of people over there. But tonight, we're going to have a lot of good entertainment. What are the greatest opera singers in the world? We think he's great. Lee Greenwood's going to be singing our favorite song. And we have a lot of great things. But I think I speak at about 7 o'clock tonight. So that's over at the mall. Now, when the water looks great, but we will do the final fix up. But just remember this. They took razor blades, 350 feet coming from where he comes. They don't do that. They took razor blades. And knives, and they cut patches like that. 350 feet long. A lot of them are like a foot, a foot. They cut the lining. And these pictures of the guy bending over. I don't know if anybody saw that. But they're pictures of there. And you say, who would do that? Maybe it's trumped arrangements. You know, we fixed over 50 fountains and monuments in the city. The city is the safest. It's ever been ever. We have virtually no crime. We're a crime fee. When I came here, when we came here at the beginning, it was a horrible crime ridden city. And we have no crime. Everything's fixed. We have new grass. We took a mask. We took so much. Nobody's ever seen anything like everything had graffiti on it. It's all gone. The tents all over the lawns, which were terrible. A royal gun. The fences are all gone because nobody goes on the lawns anymore. But we fixed all this. You know, grass has a life just like people have a life. And we fixed the lawn, and it will be fixed. Now, one of the other things they did a job around the reflecting pool, we have a huge field of grass. They poured acid on the grass. The same people, I guess. They poured acid. So that's in the process. It killed acid, kills grass quickly. So that's me fixed. But the reflecting pool is great, and it's going to look beautiful. It's so sad to see what they did. And then the fake news tries to say, oh, well, it didn't work. Of course, it worked. Everything I does work. What I do works, what I do best, is build. And we fixed-- I think it's 52, all over the city that talking about it. But you know, the biggest thing is we have one of the safest cities. If you would have come here two years ago, you had a good chance of being mucked all the year very big guy. They would have mucked him up. They would have beat their head like-- That's me. He wouldn't set up never going back. Now you can walk with your beautiful wife. You can walk with your friends. We were losing all our restaurants. Nobody wanted to go out. Even if you got into the restaurant, they'd rob you when you're in. Now you can't get into a restaurant. But the restaurant, too, is a opening restaurant so all over the city. I'm so proud of it. Also, Memphis, take a look at Memphis. Take a look at in Louisiana. Take a look at what's happened. What we've done in Louisiana with New Orleans is incredible. The governor, Governor Landry, called me. They just had morning grow up. He said, it's the safest morning grow we've had in 75 years. It's great. We've done a good job. And you know what? In Chicago, they had many murders over the last week. Many. We could solve. I could make Chicago with this group of strong people, this strong people. That's OK.โ

โYou know, one thing we got from the Supreme Court, we have merit. So if you have great students, great marks, great scores, great boards, you get into a good college. If you have bad, you don't get into a good God. In other words, it's based on a tough decision for them. But that also applies to the military. We have tough, tough people in the military. And the National Guard has done an incredible job in Washington. And my people have done an incredible job. So if you look at Memphis, crime is down 78%. I have a friend from Memphis who's going to leave. And he called me and said, I've never seen anything like this. It's like a different city. And also in New Orleans, it's like people can't believe it. I could do that for Chicago. I'd love to do Chicago, because Chicago's potentially a great city. But you're going to lose it. It's got to be done. And we do something much more than they can do, because we take people out and bring them back to the country from where they came, where they came out of jails, where they're drug lords and drug dealers, and people from mental institutions. And I'd love to do it in Los Angeles. And I'd love to do it in New York City. I live in New York. I'd like to see that a lot of problems in New York over the last couple of weeks. If we were there, they wouldn't have any of those problems. And we removed the bad people from the city, so they never come back. Now, some liberal people probably don't like the sound of that. But 92% of crime is caused in these cities. It's caused by 2% of the people. I love that number, because it's easily solved. Think of that, 92% of the crime in Washington was caused by 2% of the people. We moved out almost 5,000 career criminals and people from other countries. And Washington now is one of the safest cities, I could say, on the planet. But let's just say, in the US. And it's beautiful now. The reflecting pool, but we have 52. I think it's much more than that. It's going to soon be more than that. You see them opening up. And my team has done an unbelievable job. Doug Bergham has been great. Department of the Interior and his people. Greg, and all-- I mean, these people, they're phenomenal. But think of that, you work so hard, you get it open way ahead of your life, what your life was, what was it key. And then somebody's in there with a knife cutting it and ripping the flora. It's terrible. But the 350 foot gash in the side, it's a terrible thing. Ready? Here, I'm going to end on this. I'm so proud of Washington, D.C. It's become one of the hottest cities in the world. But what is the hottest in the world is the United States of America. We have the hottest city. And you know that. You were talking about that. Two years ago, we were left at. We were in joke. We were in dead country. Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. Thank you very much, everybody.โ

Caster Semenya, who is male, (see pinned paper) won the Olympic gold medal *twice* - notoriously in Rio in 2016 but *also* in 2012, because ...
... of the disqualification of *female* athletes who were doping with T. Those female athletes - dopers, ofc - were subsequently disqualified and their medals redistributed. This is the latest one. ...
... There's a battle for the 800m this summer, featuring Femke Bol, Audrey Werro, and Keely Hodgkinson, aiming to take down the (doped) WR of Kratochvilova. It's difficult not to think of that competition as just corrupt AF for *decades* ...

A recent supply chain attack against Arch leveraged a piece of malware with an eBPF rootkit to hide. It also had a very aggressive credentials harvester along with Tor C2. In this thread I'll cover some of the more interesting things it does.
It deploys an eBPF rootkit that hides the main process and Tor client. It also hides network activity. If you are running @SandflySecurity we de-cloak the processes plus other threats without any upgrades. The main process is random, but the Tor process is a bogus dbus-daemon.
The main process name is again random, and it also will pick a bogus name to masquerade as. I presume this is to allow it to hide just in case the eBPF rootkit cannot deploy. Here it is with a bogus "kworker" name to impersonate a kernel thread.
Stories spread through Bataan about a captain who seemed to appear and disappear in the jungle.
Something was crawling behind Japanese lines at night, ambushing patrols, hitting their positions, and vanishing before they could react.
It was one American officer, often alone, with a Thompson and a handful of grenades.
American troops began calling him the Ghost of Bataan.

Arthur Wermuth was a captain in the 57th Infantry Regiment, one of only a handful of American officers in a unit made up mostly of Philippine Scouts, the tough, highly trained Filipino soldiers who fought alongside the United States Army.
Just hours after Pearl Harbor, Japan invaded the Philippines. The American and Filipino defenders were pushed back onto the Bataan Peninsula, outnumbered, low on supplies, and slowly being starved of food, medicine, and ammunition. There would be no reinforcements coming. They were on their own.
Most men in that position would have hunkered down and tried to survive.
Wermuth did the opposite.
He went hunting.

He armed himself with a Thompson submachine gun, two pistols, and a bag of grenades, and he went out into the jungle, often alone or with a small handful of his Scouts, to take the war to the Japanese.
He would crawl through the mud for hours, letting enemy patrols march right past him in the dark, then slip behind their lines to a ridge above their camp and open fire, throwing the enemy into chaos and convincing them that a whole American force had gotten into their rear. Then he would disappear back into the jungle.
He ambushed patrols. He attacked enemy positions and supply areas. He picked off enemy snipers at their own game. His raids became so bold and so frequent that his reputation spread across Bataan as a kind of phantom who could not be caught.
In one of his most famous actions, he was ordered to destroy a bridge the Japanese were using to push south.

I'm a cardiologist. After 40, stop guessing about your health. These numbers tell you whether you're building a long, vibrant life โ or quietly declining without knowing it.
I run these on myself. I run them on every patient I care about. Most are cheap bloodwork. All are available now. And together, they paint a picture no standard annual physical will ever give you. Print this. Bring it to your next appointment. Your 60-year-old self will thank you.

๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ป๐๐๐น๐ถ๐ป
Target: below 5 ฮผIU/mL. Ideal: 3-4.
This is the 10-year warning bell your standard panel completely misses. Your glucose and A1c can look "normal" for a decade while your pancreas is working overtime to keep them there. Fasting insulin catches insulin resistance 5-10 years before your A1c moves. By the time A1c rises, the damage is already extensive.
๐๐ข๐ ๐-๐๐ฅ
Target: below 1.0.
Calculated from fasting insulin and fasting glucose. The single best measure of insulin sensitivity. Above 1.0 and your metabolism is already under strain. Above 2.5 and you're insulin resistant โ even if every other number looks fine.
๐๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ฐ
Target: below 5.4%.
Not below 5.7% โ that's the threshold where medicine calls you "prediabetic." By then you've been metabolically compromised for years. Optimal is below 5.4%. Blood sugar mastery is longevity mastery.
๐ง๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐น๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ : ๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ
Target: below 2. Ideal: below 1.
Your metabolic health crystal ball. This ratio predicts insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and metabolic syndrome better than any single lipid number alone. A ratio above 3.5 is a red flag regardless of what your total cholesterol says.
๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐
Target: below 80 mg/dL for moderate risk. Below 60 for high risk.
I've written about this extensively. ApoB counts every atherogenic particle hitting your artery walls. A 2024 analysis found 54% of patients had dangerous levels that standard LDL testing completely missed. If you only know your LDL, you're driving with one eye closed.
๐๐ฝ(๐ฎ)
Test once in your lifetime.
100% genetic. 1 in 5 Americans are elevated. Triples heart attack risk independently of everything else on this list. Diet and exercise cannot lower it. The 2026 ACC/AHA guidelines now recommend everyone be tested. Most never have been.
๐ต๐-๐๐ฅ๐ฃ
Target: below 1.0 mg/L.
You can have perfect cholesterol and inflamed arteries silently preparing to rupture. hs-CRP measures the fire behind the plaque. The JUPITER trial proved that finding and treating inflammation saves lives โ even when lipids look fine. If this number is elevated, your mouth, your gut, your metabolic health, and your visceral fat are the first places to investigate.
๐ฉ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ป ๐
Target: 50-80 ng/mL.
Not the bare minimum of 30 your doctor accepts. Suboptimal vitamin D is linked to higher inflammation, weaker immunity, increased cardiovascular events, worse mood, and poorer outcomes across nearly every disease I treat. Supplement D3 with K2 โ without K2, calcium deposits in your arteries instead of your bones.
๐ง๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ (๐ง๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐น + ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ)
Men: optimal range 600-1000+ ng/dL total.
Declining testosterone is an independent predictor of cardiovascular death in men. It's tied to insulin resistance, arterial stiffness, visceral fat accumulation, and systemic inflammation. DHEA-S drops 10-20% every decade after 30. Tracking these isn't about vanity โ it's evaluating your body's systemic resilience.
๐๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ
Target: below 120/80. Aim closer to 110/70.
Every point above optimal is cumulative arterial damage. Buy a home cuff. Measure morning and evening, seated quietly for five minutes, arm at heart level. White-coat readings in the office miss what's really happening. The smartest $40 investment in cardiac self-care.
๐ฉ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ ๐ฎ๐
Men over 40: above 40 mL/kg/min. Women over 40: above 35.
Cardiorespiratory fitness is the single strongest predictor of all-cause mortality โ stronger than smoking, diabetes, or heart disease as individual risk factors. A landmark study in JAMA found that extreme fitness was associated with the lowest mortality with no upper limit of benefit. You can estimate VO2 max with a timed mile, a rower test, or a wearable. Get faster every year.

Target: as few as possible.
Every medication you're on should be earning its place. I just wrote about five commonly prescribed drugs that do more harm than good with long-term use. Bring your full medication list to every appointment. Ask: "Do I still need this?" Deprescribing is one of the most powerful and underused tools in medicine.

Thirteen numbers. Most available through cheap bloodwork and simple tests. Get them once or twice a year. Here's what I want you to understand: these numbers don't just tell you where you are. They tell you where you're heading. A fasting insulin of 8 today becomes diabetes in five years. An ApoB of 120 today becomes a heart attack in ten. An hs-CRP of 3 today means your arteries are inflamed right now โ regardless of how healthy you feel. The standard annual physical checks a fraction of these. It was designed to find disease that's already there. This panel finds the disease that's coming โ years before it arrives.
What gets measured gets improved. Optimize with the foundation I write about every week on this platform:
Zone 2 cardio plus resistance training 3-4 times per week. High-protein whole-food nutrition. Sleep 7-9 hours โ non-negotiable. Morning sunlight. Stress management. And the targeted supplements I've covered in detail โ creatine, magnesium, CoQ10, D3+K2, glycine, omega-3, psyllium husk.
The breakthroughs coming in the next decade โ gene editing for cholesterol, cellular reprogramming, senolytics that clear senescent "zombie" cells driving inflammation and aging, GLP-1 drugs rewriting metabolic medicine โ will be most powerful for people who've already built the metabolic foundation to receive them.
The future of medicine is personalized. But it starts with knowing your numbers today. Print this list. Book the bloodwork. Own the data. Prevention isn't passive. It's the most aggressive thing you can do for the decades ahead.
