On this day in 1939, Billie Holiday recorded the first great protest song of the Civil Rights Movement, 'Strange Fruit’
The Chilling Story of Strange Fruit and Billie Holiday.

The Chilling Story of Strange Fruit and Billie Holiday.
A THREAD!
"Strange Fruit" was originally a poem written by Jewish-American writer, teacher and songwriter Abel Meeropol, under his pseudonym Lewis Allan, as a protest against lynchings and later set it to music. 
The song soon came to Billie Holiday's attention & after so many frequent requests of that song, she closed out EVERY performance with it. The waiters would stop serving ahead of time for complete silence, the room would darken, a spotlight would shine on Holiday's face…
Alex Jones is siding with Iran, the #1 terror state in the world that seeks nuclear weapons and a Marxist North American caliphate ruled by sharia law.

Has someone paid him to flip against President Trump & America? I'm just asking questions. Twice Iran has tried to assassinate President Trump and four of their Twelver Shia Muslim clerics (same faith as Mayor Mamdani, by the way,) have issued fatwas against President Trump.

Let's explore this AT&T 6300 that I picked up from consignment at VCF East this weekend. It's going to go to a friend soon, but we can at least look at it first! Time for a 🧵
First of all, here it is with the cover removed. What a weird computer!! Two disk drives. Apparently the video card connects the top logic board with the motherboard below.
Let's get the cover back on. First, I removed the degraded foam after it made a mess everywhere. And then I learned that I really need to "pull" the left support a little to put it in place so that the case would latch properly. You can see wear marks where it was "hitting."
Nîmes - Nemausus - The colonia Nemausus was founded in 27 BC by Augustus. During the Augustan era the city got its walls, a forum with temples, Nymphaem, and later in the Flavian era an amphitheatre. Today the city still has many Roman (and some other) remains - Thread 🧵 🧵🧵
Augustan gate - 16 BC - in and outgoing gates for carts and people in foot. Two bulls head decorate the large arches while the smaller arches are topped by an empty space where presumably statues were located
The amphitheatre was built in the Flavian period simultaneously with the Colosseum in Rome. Compared to the slightly older Arles, the building has fixed some structural problems with stone vaulting in the galleries. Two galleries and an attic create a space for 20.000 people!
How to Think Like a Farmer, Not a Hunter:
(A thread that will change the way you think)
(A thread that will change the way you think)
Most people think like hunters - chasing quick wins and immediate results.
Farmers think differently.
They plant, tend, wait, and harvest.
Here's why you need to adopt the farmer mindset:

Hunter Mindset:
- Seeks immediate results
- Chases the next opportunity
- Focuses on short-term gains
- Gives up when things get tough

Bolton: Ukraine aid and the Iran war show US stockpiles of weapons and ammunition are too low.
Defense spending should rise further, and America should restore the ability to fight and win two regional wars at the same time.

Bolton: Trump is in a panic and wants out of the war. If he thought Iran would be quick and easy, he was wrong.
Anyone who understood Iran knew stopping its nuclear threat was always going to be hard.

Its priority is staying in power, not helping Iranians after decades of misrule, repression, and economic damage.

It's official:
The world is now experiencing its biggest energy crisis in history, with 600 MILLION barrels of lost oil supply.
US gas prices are up +47% since December and inflation is nearing 4% in a similar path to the 1970s.
What happens next? Let us explain.

Today marks day 51 of the Iran War.
With ~600 million barrels of lost oil supply, ~$50 billion worth of oil has been removed from the global market.
This is the same amount of fuel it takes to run the world's international shipping industry for 4 months.
Truly unprecedented.

And, the US actually has it good.
Jet fuel prices in Europe surged over +100% amid the Iran War's disruption.
New data shows Europe has just 6 weeks worth of jet fuel remailing with many flights set to be cancelled.
Europe is urging people to work from home to conserve fuel.

And it doesn’t matter if the Strait of Hormuz opens tomorrow.
Here’s why the damage is already done 🧵

Even if a ceasefire is signed TODAY:
— Floating tankers need 30–40 days to offload
— VLCCs rerouted to the US need 3+ months to return
— Onshore ME storage needs to drain ~200M bbls first
The supply gap doesn’t care about peace deals

Cumulative storage lost from Hormuz closure:
End of April → 1.2 billion bbls
End of May → 1.59 billion bbls
End of June → 1.98 billion bbls
This is 4x larger than any supply outage in history.
There is no playbook for this.

One year ago, I ran the Boston Marathon after being threatened, harassed, and ultimately kicked out of a club I had worked so hard to build. All for saying this storied race - the most competitive amateur sporting event in the world - should keep the female category for females.
I registered for boston when I was 8 months pregnant and in so much pain I could barely run 2 miles let alone 26. But I believe in the strength, tenacity, and power of women (and moms!).
And I wanted this race to reflect that. And so I spoke out with @xx_xyathletics
And I wanted this race to reflect that. And so I spoke out with @xx_xyathletics
@xx_xyathletics now - one year later - we have a run club of over 100 women from around the country who believe in that strength too. We celebrate and support each other because we know that there's something special about being a woman and an athlete that you can't just don like a costume.
New paper with @PatrickButlin, from my time at @MATSprogram . We propose two new candidates for LLM individuation: the (virtual) instance-persona view and the model-persona view. 🧵
Are there multiple minds inside one LLM? Both views formalise the idea that the relevant individuals might exist at the persona level, which means a single LLM can host many minds.
We first argue the virtual instance view comes out ahead once you notice that attention streams, not just the transcript, carry mental-state-like representations across token-time.
