1/ An immediate ban on the use of Telegram, ordered by the Russian MOD, is going to have disastrous effects on the Russian army's communications and fundraising, according to Russian warbloggers. ⬇️
2/ Telegram plays a central role in Russian military communications (see the thread below). Although Russia does have a secure military messenger, in practice its usability is so limited that soldiers from privates to generals all use Telegram instead.
3/ It's unclear why the Russian MOD has imposed an immediate ban on military use of Telegram after earlier indications that the imminent banning of the app in Russia itself would not extend to Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine.

@BasedMikeLee In every form, the SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote.
One new SAVE Act bill, the SAVE America Act, directs states to hand their voter rolls to the Department of Homeland Security to run through the
@BasedMikeLee agency’s flawed citizenship verification tool.
The bill not only requires proof of citizenship, but also proof of residence in order to register. This could block even more Americans from voting.

The legislation would mandate voter roll purges every 30 days,
@BasedMikeLee placing enormous burdens on election officials and ending the 90-day quiet period that protects voters from being mistakenly thrown off the rolls right before Election Day.

For voters who register by mail, the SAVE America Act requires documentary proof of citizenship to be

Doug Ford has discovered China and concluded the best way to protect his gov't is to exempt Cabinet and himself from FOIA requests. OK. 1/
In actual fact China represents a serious threat to Canada at a whole series of levels and, perhaps, FOIA is one of them. More basic are things like election interference, security infiltration, diaspora intimidation and so on. 2/
People like @scoopercooper and @RealAndyLeeShow have been exposing nefarious Chinese activity for years. The Canadian security establishment is well aware of the threats. But the Canadian political class remains willfully blind. 3/

A new long COVID paper suggests that, in a subset of patients, the picture may involve circulating microaggregates, impaired capillary flow, and - EBV-related immune activation🧵
A study describes a subgroup of patients who had so called microaggregates in blood, along with stronger T-cell responses to EBV.
The main idea is that, in some patients, long COVID may involve a mix of impaired microcirculation and immune activation linked to latent herpesviruses.
So what are these microaggregates?
The authors describe them as spherical structures around 100-200µm diameter, containing leukocytes and an amorphous core rich in carbohydrate residues. Platelets were also found on their surface.

OpenClaw changed my life

It's completely automated my workflows and multiplied my revenue in just a month

It is the single most important software of our lifetimes

Here is step by step how to set it up and get the absolute most out of it: Image
🔶 SET UP

First thing you need to do is get it installed

DO NOT use a VPS. Use a local device like a Mac Mini or old laptop

Go to openclaw dot ai and copy the install command into your terminal

This will put you through onboarding. Now you need to make some decisions... Image
🔶 Models and messaging

At the moment Claude Opus 4.6 is the best model for OpenClaw

If you want to save money, you can go with Sonnet 4.6 instead

Next, you need to choose your messaging service. I highly recommend Telegram. By far the easiest way to message your Claw Image

Vitaly has very good points here on where the russian 🇷🇺 offensive will happen this year in Ukraine 🇺🇦

I agree 100% with his conclusions and I also gathered a lot of data during the last 2 weeks (not publicly) that are showing the same thing.

🧵THREAD🧵1/14 ⬇️ Image
I analysed the last two years of russian units deployments on the frontlines.

Here are the localisation of the russian brigades and divisions in the last two years in the frontline areas I cut (Could do that with the 6 grouping as well). You can see the frontline trends. Image

Here you have the current localisation of russian brigades and divisions on the frontline.

These are good informations to keep in mind. Image

In my conversation with the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, I emphasized that Iran did not begin this atrocious war. Defending against invasion is a natural right, in which we are good at.
1/5
Using the American bases against Iran in the region, with the purpose of disturbing our relations with our neighbors, should be stopped.
2/5
Peace and stability in the region, cannot be achieved while disregarding the Zionist-American invasion in our country. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not surrender to bullies.

With an uncertain battlefield position, Russia has intensified hybrid operations to shape European public opinion. A key element is the spread of narratives portraying Ukraine as using “energy blackmail” against Europe, often echoed by politically sympathetic actors. 🧵Thread: Image
2/ Since the full-scale invasion began, Russian missile and drone strikes have targeted Ukraine’s energy system, damaging power plants, gas facilities, and transmission networks nationwide. Ukraine has lost about 11.5 GW of capacity, with damage reportedly exceeding $24.8 billion
3/ The war has also affected energy transport infrastructure. Ukrainian oil facilities have been attacked more than 400 times since the invasion began. On 27 January 2026, a strike damaged equipment working for the Druzhba pipeline near Brody in western Ukraine.

Back before the bombardment of Iran, China's currency was under considerable appreciation pressure -- the settlement data showed $70b in fx purchases by the PBOC/ SCBs ($840b annualized). A huge sum for a holiday month ...

1/ Image
Over the last 12ms of data, settlement (my preferred intervention measure) shows purchases of $500-600b ... or more than enough to trigger the Treasury "manipulation" thresholds

2/ Image
And for whatever reason, in both January and February a small fraction of that total (~$10b) did show up on the balance sheet of the PBOC -- so it isn't all flowing through the state banks right now (tho most of the flow is still via the state banks)

🚨 BREAKING: Procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s a broken system!

Claude can rebuild your habits, focus, and momentum.

Here are 10 Claude Opus 4.6 prompts to stop procrastinating & execute👇 Image
1. The Procrastination Diagnostician

Prompt: “Act as a behavioral coach. I’m procrastinating on [TASK]. Ask me 7 sharp questions to diagnose the real cause (fear, unclear next step, perfectionism, low energy, boredom, overwhelm, no deadline). Then name the root cause in 1 sentence, give the best fix, give a 5-minute start action, and create a simple 30-minute plan that gets momentum.”
2. The 5-Minute Starter

Prompt: “Turn [TASK] into a 5-minute starter action that feels stupidly easy. No planning, no research, just motion. Then give the next 3 micro-steps, define what ‘done today’ looks like, and give me a one-line script to say to myself before starting.”

Pope Leo asked me to meet him in a private audience at the Vatican today

I presented him with documents and evidence detailing decades of abuse inside Opus Dei and urged him to launch a full independent investigation into the group

A THREAD 🧵 Image
He invited me after learning of the allegations made in my book OPUS, which he described as “a rigorous piece of work”

We spent more than forty minutes talking – just the two of us – and he asked a series of informed questions Image
The book is the result of years of research, hundreds of hours talking with members – and access to secret internal documents

I detail evidence of child grooming, enslavement, human trafficking, breaching the seal of confession - and much much more

1/ Leaked orders from the Russian Ministry of Defence show that Telegram is being banned immediately for operational use by Russian forces in Ukraine, with soldiers reportedly facing being sent to their deaths in assaults if they are found not to be complying. ⬇️ Image
Image
Image
2/ The orders, published by 'Unmanned Brotherhood' on Telegram, are intended to "counter enemy technical reconnaissance means, close possible leakage channels and prevent the disclosure of information about the actions of troops in the area of ​​a special military operation".
3/ They impose a strict ban on the use by soldiers of Telegram, which is now to be treated as a "gross disciplinary offence":
