🔬Study shows SARS-CoV-2 causes direct damage to heart cell mitochondria - even months after recovery - helping potentially explain Long COVID heart symptoms like chest pain, palpitations & fatigue.
Let’s break it down 🧵
Let’s break it down 🧵
Researchers studied 5 people who had COVID-19 weeks or months earlier. They all had new or unusual heart problems, like chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or even cardiac arrest.
Each patient had a heart biopsy (a sample of heart tissue examined under a microscope).
Each patient had a heart biopsy (a sample of heart tissue examined under a microscope).
All 5 patients were diagnosed with myocarditis - inflammation and injury in heart muscle.
But interestingly, it wasn’t typical myocarditis with large immune cell infiltration. Inflammation was mild.
The key problem? Structural damage inside the heart muscle cells.

They say that when the cannons roar, the muses fall silent. Not for the settlers. During the war with Iran, a new outpost was set up near Beit Iksa—backed by the militia-style HaShomer HaChadash and an employee of the far-right group Regavim. Thread. 
1/ During the 40 days of war waged by Israel and the United States against Iran, settlers continued their work in the West Bank. Pirate roads were carved out, new outposts were established, and Palestinian communities were brutally attacked under the protection of the army. >>
2/ The latest victim of the campaign of terror Israel is waging in the West Bank is Alaa Khaled Sbeih from the village of Tayasir in the northeastern West Bank. >>
1/ Harvard Conversation With Former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy:
For those seeking illumination about the political road ahead in 2026, former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy provided dozens of points of light in a vigorous conversation with members of the Kennedy School and the larger Harvard community. I had the honor to be his host and moderator of the conversation.

2/ Having spent 17 years in the House of Representatives and having served in every role there, including as Speaker from January to October 2023, Kevin built a Republican majority by selecting candidates, coaching candidates, raising money for candidates, refining the case for his candidates, and most of all, persisting.
3/ For insights about President Trump (whom he knows very well, supports, and talks to regularly), the war in Iran; the likely outcome of the midterms; and the road beyond that for American politics, you can view the conversation here.
The Iran War and Hormuz shutdown have disrupted oil, gas, and helium exports and threatened data centers and investments in the Gulf states.
@justjoshinyou13 explores how a prolonged Iran war could affect AI, and why it probably won’t completely derail the compute buildout.

Fabrication of AI chips and memory is concentrated in Taiwan and South Korea. These fabs rely on energy from natural gas as well as helium, both disrupted by the Hormuz closure.
But chip fabs are so profitable that TSMC and others will likely secure the resources they need.
But chip fabs are so profitable that TSMC and others will likely secure the resources they need.
For AI data centers, the Hormuz energy shock is not a serious threat in the US, where natural gas prices have been stable.
In Europe and Asia, higher costs may kill some planned data centers, but existing data centers will keep running unless prices surge to much higher levels.

Not even kidding
If you bought a Pre-Con Condo in 2020 - 2022 in Toronto or Vancouver you were already in big trouble on Price
You paid way too much
But if you managed to close you were faced with big Negative Cash Flow
Which is bad: but it's going to get WORSE

A story that's flying under the radar: The US is trying to force Ecuador and Colombia into a war with each other in order to militarize and colonize the region.
The pro-US & narco-backed President of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, has just announced 100% tariffs on Colombia. Why? 🧵
The pro-US & narco-backed President of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, has just announced 100% tariffs on Colombia. Why? 🧵
Noboa claims it's because Colombia isn't doing enough to combat drug trafficking. Even though Ecuador is one that has become a narco-state, they now have a murder rate higher than war-torn Haiti, and almost double that of Colombia.
Ecuador's disaster is a long-term trend that began after the restoration of neoliberalism in 2018. The subsequent social collapse triggered a surge in crime. As we can see, it began long before Colombia elected Petro (who hasn't presided over any such crime spike in 🇨🇴).
Not all food is real food.
Many everyday staples are engineered with chemicals and fillers.
Here are 5 of the worst ultra-processed factory foods, and why they’re damaging your health:

Here are 5 of the worst ultra-processed factory foods, and why they’re damaging your health:
1/ Mayonnaise
Most commercial mayo is made with refined seed oils instead of whole ingredients.
These heavily processed oils oxidize easily and are often combined with added sugar, preservatives, and emulsifiers.
The result is a highly inflammatory product with little nutritional value.

2/ Snickers bars
Snickers are primarily made of sugar, corn syrup, refined carbohydrates, vegetable oils, and artificial flavorings.
They cause rapid blood sugar and insulin spikes followed by energy crashes, which can contribute to insulin resistance and weight gain over time.

Term 2 Trump looking like mid-late period Yeltsin in so many ways: an individual with visibly diminished physical and mental capabilities inhabiting a powerful presidency, with no clarity over who's wielding decision-making power, presiding over a wildly corrupt system...
...that benefits the family and those willing to prop up the president, turbo-charging an oligarchy and leaving everyone else behind; starting catastrophic wars that totally disregard humanitarian law...
...fixated on international status and respect while tanking both and blaming everyone else.
Hodges: My sense is that Trump trusted his gut instinct.
But this is how mistakes happen: the people handling negotiations were his son-in-law and his real estate friend, not professional diplomats, and sycophantic cabinet officials were never going to push back. 1/

Hodges: For Trump to say nobody anticipated Iran weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz is just flat-out not true.
We have war-gamed operations around Hormuz since I was a captain in the 101st Airborne back in the 1980s. That claim is absolutely false. 2/
