One thing I've noticed is that most RW media outlets don't actually care about RW media that they themselves are not directly connected with or producing. There's little to no coverage, journalistic or otherwise, of the broader field.
Our local rag covered our reprinting of the Cosmic Courtship and the other works of Julian Hawthorne, but I don't think any other major outlet reached out or responded to our solicits.
arkansasonline.com/news/2021/may/…
We made news when we found and republished a previously believed lost Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan fragment, completed by one of our regular contributors.

We're at a point where RW culture media outlets should be keeping tabs on what we're up to, even just an eye, but they don't.

The headline from The Hindu is a sad TN specific clickbait. Inside the news we find that the inscriptions are in Tamil, Prakrit and Sanskrit.

From Berenike to Gulf countries, Indian inscriptions have been found. True, Tamil language in Brahmi script are there but equally and more detailed Prakrits and Sanskrit are there too.

I would like a nicer and honest headline “Brahmi inscriptions found in Valley of Kings in Egypt”.
Other news items indicate there is at least one Kharoshthi inscription, the language Gandharan. From Egypt to Indonesia, Brahmi inscriptions/fragments have been found covering not just Tamil but other Indic languages - a variety of Prakrits and some Sanskrit as well.

Not some special Tamil merchants but Indian subcontinental merchants went to all these places. Insisting on only Tamil while suppressing other hard evidence found is intellectual dishonesty.
Some more quick observations. One of the Tamil name found is சிகை கொற்றன். Check the root word for Cikai.

The scholars have found the following phrases ‘வர கண்ட’ and ‘வரத கண்டன்’. They interpret this as mimicking ‘Veni Vidi’ of Greek. But the phrases fail Tamil Grammar. Were these proto-Malayalam dialect version of Tamil?

REPORT: The NIH is now funding research into ivermectin as a cancer treatment.

Yes, the same drug they mocked as “horse paste” is now being seriously studied—for its ability to kill cancer cells.

On February 10, the NIH confirmed it’s funding preclinical trials on ivermectin’s anti-cancer properties. Dr. Anthony Letai, head of the National Cancer Institute, said there’s “enough interest” and “enough reports” to take it seriously. Studies are already underway, with results expected in just a few months.

This follows 2024 and 2025 reviews by U.S. scientists showing signs that ivermectin can inhibit tumors. The NIH is now backing that research, pointing to ivermectin’s Nobel Prize-winning legacy and its decades of safe, FDA-approved use in humans.

But instead of welcoming a promising, low-cost treatment, the media doubled down. Outlets like MedPage Today rushed to dismiss the story as “right-wing hype,” ignoring the science and smearing anyone who dared to ask questions.

Why attack a drug that could save lives—unless the real threat is to their bottom line?

If ivermectin works, it won’t just save lives. It’ll shatter the system built to suppress it.

#ad: The digital ID financial nightmare isn’t coming someday. It’s already here.

GoldandFreedom.com 👈

Once a single identity becomes the gateway to your money, your work, and your ability to participate in everyday life, compliance is no longer a choice.

That’s why Genesis Gold Group created the free Digital ID Resistance Wealth Guide.

It breaks down the real risks of digital ID and explains how physical gold and silver allow you to operate outside the system.

Digital dollars leave you exposed. Gold and silver can’t be frozen, tracked, or turned off.

Get your free Digital ID Resistance Wealth Guide right now at GoldandFreedom.com, before digital ID becomes the default and your options disappear.

In other news, Republicans and Democrats are backing a bill that opens the door to mandatory Digital ID for every American.

It’s called the “Kids Off Social Media Act.” But it doesn’t just target kids. It targets you.

The bill bans anyone under 13 from having a social media account. Sounds reasonable—until you realize enforcement means scanning your face, checking your ID, or tracking your device… just to prove you’re old enough to speak online.

The bill doesn’t have to say “Digital ID.” The logic demands it. And once those systems are in place, they won’t stop at children. They’ll be used to control what you can say, see, and share.

Multiple states have already declared these laws unconstitutional. So why are Republicans still pushing them?

This is exactly how it started in the UK. Today, people are getting arrested for memes.

Watch @zeeemedia's report before they normalize this—and your freedom to speak anonymously disappears forever.

1/🚨"None of us knew the depth and the darkness." — Keir Starmer, on Jeffrey Epstein's British connections.

Seema Misra was jailed while pregnant. Sub-postmasters lost their homes and livelihoods. Jimmy Savile abused children for decades.

Every time, Starmer was running the institution responsible. Every time: "I didn't know."

Now it's Epstein. And the documents tell a very different story.🧵👇Image
2/11
🚨 HERE'S WHAT JUST BROKE:

Documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act show Britain's National Crime Agency was running a classified intelligence operation on Epstein's British connections — from inside the British Embassy in Washington, D.C.

Not a tip. Not a rumour. Not informal cooperation.

A formal, classified, embassy-to-FBI intelligence operation. Beginning January 2020.Image
3/11
The NCA built a financial intelligence pipeline — UK Financial Intelligence Unit to America's FinCEN — catching Epstein-linked transactions that US institutions may have missed.

British banks were flagging suspicious activity on people in Epstein's immediate circle.

Internal NCA emails show officers coordinating with the NSPCC over whether a parallel British investigation would affect FBI operations.

The NCA knew this involved children.

There’s a reason why Vishnu Sahasranamam has been chanted for thousands of years.
Not for ritual.
Not for tradition.
But for inner restoration.

When life feels scattered… this chant brings alignment. 🧵 Image
1.“Vishnu” means the one who pervades everything.
“Sahasranamam” means 1000 names.

Each name is not just praise…
Each name represents a cosmic quality — strength, protection, balance, compassion.
2.Ancient wisdom says destiny is not always punishment.
Sometimes destiny is simply lessons without clarity.

Vishnu Sahasranamam is believed to restore clarity when life feels unfair or confusing.

I made a general agent that solves all 30 steps with no determinism, level skips, or other cheats

agent time (incl. inference): 2m 36s

total real time: 4m 2s (gap is from groq's gateway network latency)

tested many, many different scaffoldings and tool formats. eventually made my own system with fast compactions and simple inter-agent commnuication

final model configuration:
- Kimi K2 Instruct 0905 (through Groq) as the primary fast agent
- Claude Opus 4.6 (through OpenRouter -> Google Vertex) as the intelligent advisor and supporter

final cost from step1 to finish:
- $1.37 for Claude
- $4.98 for Kimi (9.6M total input tokens! and 10k output tokens, across 239 agent turns)
=> $6.35 total

parallel orchestration and UI: tmux (easy to automate) + shared filesystem
final LOC: ~10,000

10 tool primitives available, all implemented through a fast, extremely agent-friendly CDP client

browser used: a real, vanilla Brave! I use these same web agent tools I built to interact with real websites on my behalf all the time, including for my startup

cc @adcock_brett @OpenRouterAI @GroqInc
brief architecture summary:

there's A. a fast small agent run by Kimi, and B. a slower more intelligent agent run by Claude

Kimi gets zero context on how the challenges function and what is a distraction vs what is high-signal. it gets 10 tools and, as fast as possible, tries to apply them (including writing custom JS if needed, using the eval() tool)

one of its most important tools is a read() that compresses the page in a high-signal way to create LLM-friendly output, similar to what a screen reader does. it has zero hardcoded logic for the challenge, so initially this includes many unnecessary popups (until Claude later helps with auto-filtering them)

given the fact that reads, on any page, are the most expensive context-wise, the Kimi agent has its compactions split by read blocks. throw out the turn history of read N (inclusive) to read N+1 (exclusive), because N+1 has up to date information about the page

a good configuration for fast Groq inference is to keep caching up to a high but not absurd input size like 75k tokens, then compress down to a small size (25k in my config). the supermajority of the inference time goes towards reads, so you want to minimize the number of uncached input tokens, which means minimizing the number of prefix switches (compactions)

in the background, starting from 1 second after the Kimi agent fires, is the Claude agent. running roughly once per 5 seconds, it analyzes all of the inputs that Kimi has received since Claude's last turn, as well as all of Kimi's decisions

Claude is able to write JS, with the goal of making any sort of general web helpers that can decrease Kimi's iteration time. in this case it looks like Claude (with no prior knowledge about the page!) inferred that Kimi would benefit from a setInterval that scans for puzzle solution codes
Claude then broadcasts those codes to Kimi's attention using an inter-agent alertAgent() function that Kimi's scaffolding is designed to work with
I spent around 40 hours on this. a lot of it was banging my head against the wall for how to prompt engineer smaller models properly

a significant part of the development iteration is to look at what ways models fail, and think about, in the abstract, what sort of UX improvements would help them

for instance, if a model is frequently hallucinating new tool names or parameters that your scaffolding doesn't actually provide, that's a sign that the LLM intuitively believes those tools would be useful for its current task. that tells you you should strongly consider implementing them!

another example is looking for all possible usage errors the models run into, and how to make the feedback as good as possible. for instance, if they try to interact with element X using a selector Y, and it doesn't exist, you can try to intelligently find other elements who would match a similar selector to Y, then feed back to the model "none found for Y, but did you mean ~Y?"

this is more important when the LLMs are smaller and less intelligent, but good UX for small LLMs then transfers to smoother usage for larger LLMs too

Yeah, so pretty much, like, there is this really sketchy company in Israel named "Paragon". Paragon sells a "product" called GRAPHITE.

Let me explain the background and why this is very silly.

GRAPHITE spyware which allows "customers" to remotely access peoples cell phones and monitor their instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp

It is spyware. It is sometimes called Mercenary Spyware because it is primarily used by governments to spy on political enemies, journalists, and activists.

Very little is known about Paragon, GRAPHITE, and their "customers". However, it was publicly noted by the Trump administration in January, 2025, to be purchased by the United States government and to be used to aid ICE.

Furthermore, in September 2025 the Trump administration noted the usage of Graphite to aid the United States against "domestic terrorist organizations" such as "ANTIFA".

ICE acting director Todd Lyons noted using GRAPHITE to monitor anti-ICE protestors to track "ringleaders and professional agitators".

Citizen Lab and other civil rights organizations have documented the usage of GRAPHITE against individuals in Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Israel, Singapore and (unsurprisingly) the United States. It is believed the Canadian government actively uses GRAPHITE in Ontario.

Okay, so why does all of this matter? Yeah, it's super fucked up. But today representatives from Paragon accidentally leaked GRAPHITE screenshots ... ON LINKEDIN. Dawg, that image in the background IS GOVERNMENT FUCKING SPYWARE

It shows phone numbers in Czechia, apps, accounts, media on the phone, "interception status", and phone numbers extracted. THEY LEAKED IT BY ACCIDENT ON LINKEDIN WHILE TAKING SELFIESImage
If you want to read more about Paragon, GRAPHITE, and governments (illegally) using Mercenary Spyware, read this paper:

Oh, I'm also really, really, really, sorry to @DrWhax. This is his photo he took from LinkedIn and he was the first to note it. I got lost in the sauce and forgot to tag him and give him credit.

I'm sorry, @DrWhax. That is 100% my bad. When I saw your post I lost my mind.

We had a fundamental question that Burkhard Rost has addressed decades ago!

How large is the sequence attractor of a given protein fold?

Which positions can be varied in sequence so that the fold does not care and which ones are not changeable?
(+) Image
Using reverse-folding algorithms (ProteinMPNN, Caliby) + structure prediction + local frustration analysis,
we redesigned sequences for fixed backbones.

We used FrustraEvo to analyse:

Which positions are free to vary and which are energetically constrained?

🚨NEW: The FBI has released records on Thomas Crooks. Heavily redacted, they do show that he was hospitalized just 2 months before the July 2024 Trump assassination attempt in Butler, PA.
There are a few other revelations in these records, too.
🧵 Image
Perhaps even more interestingly, someone told the FBI that they were nearly hit by a car speeding away about 5 minutes after shots were fired. Image
For reasons that are unclear, FBI agents were interested in tracking down someone whose name appeared on a business card left at the scene.
Unclear if this person was even there. The FBI didn't interview this person as of the drafting of this report. Image
