@MonkEmma @Jezq7 @timurkuran Emma, we're now going round in circles, so I will instead appeal to you as a rational person and kindly ask you see the bigger picture.

The wider issue is multiculturalism. Multiculturalism presupposes that we tolerate other culture's practices.
@MonkEmma @Jezq7 @timurkuran However, it doesn't presuppose that we change our own practices to suit another culture's.

For most faiths this is fine. If a Hindu doesn't want to eat meat, that's fine - a school can supply a vegetarian menu. It doesn't affect anyone else.
@MonkEmma @Jezq7 @timurkuran However, the issue is that Islam seems to increasingly demand that we change our ways to suit it.

You cannot just roll your eyes and go "Daily Mail conspiracy theory". Sure the Daily Mail exaggerates, but there is simply too much evidence for you to dismiss.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
2/ CRISIS ONE: Trump believed Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz. He was wrong. And now oil prices are spiking.

If the Strait stays closed, a global recession will result. It actually may already be too late. Gas prices are the first to spike, but food prices are next. Image
2/ Right now, Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait. And a plan may not exist.

The assets Iran uses to harass and attack tankers - thousands of small drones, speed boats and mines - cannot be eliminated. They are too numerous, too spread out and hidden. foxnews.com/world/iran-dep…

Money doesn't change people; a lack of principles and character does:
When you are poor, you constantly have something to say about the way rich people spend their money. Once you are rich, you somehow magically forget about what you used to say. That's a very common pattern.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Better finances mean more options, but at some point in life, you should realize that a healthy lifestyle that nurtures a happy version of yourself and meaningful relationships with others doesn't cost as much money as you thought.

I stand with the people of Palestine, I stand with the people of Iran, I stand with the people of Venezuela, I stand with the people of Cuba, I stand with the people of Ukraine, and I stand with Our Military.
I stand for all civilians against oppression. I wish more people would disavow themselves from partisan or religious propaganda/loyalties enough to be a more morally consistent person. To me it is an easy and obvious choice.

Sir James Sawers and the Archbishop of Canterbury Image
"Justin Welby began his journey to Lambeth Palace at the influential Holy Trinity Brompton , with rock music, social activism and talking about God in Starbucks"

Bill Gates Sr. & Starbucks

Justin Welby resigned as the Archbishop of Canterbury on November 12, 2024, following intense pressure and a damning independent report, known as the
Makin Review, which found that he failed to adequately report a prolific child abuser to the police.

🚨 BREAKING:

Iran didn't respond to US bombs with missiles.

They responded with GAME THEORY.

And in doing so, they may have just fired the most dangerous shot at the US dollar in 52 years.

Here's the move most people completely missed: 🧵

(Read this slowly. Share it widely.)
The Strait of Hormuz is closed.

20% of ALL global oil flows through a 21-mile-wide channel.

7 major insurance clubs have pulled coverage.

80% of merchant shipping is locked out.

The world is screaming for a solution.

Iran just gave them one. But the price will shock you.
CNN confirmed it. A senior Iranian official said:

Tehran will allow oil tankers through the Strait again.

But ONLY if the cargo is traded in Chinese Yuan.

Not dollars. Yuan.

This isn't a ceasefire proposal.

This is a declaration of financial war.

I'm Italian. I wrote about 7 hidden cities in Italy. Since then, one thought has been haunting me. I missed one.

A city my trusted CLO is from. We've worked together for over a decade. In all that time, I don't think he's ever used a word more than strictly necessary. Centered, sober, elegantly precise.

The opposite of what you naturally associate to Italian cities.

Turin.

This is why it's the most underrated big city in Italy

🧵Image
Image
First, the historical context.

Turin was Italy's first capital from 1861 to 1865. Before Rome. Before Florence. The House of Savoy built it like a European capital, not an Italian town.

Grand boulevards. Baroque palaces. 18km of arcaded porticos. The Alps visible from your window on a clear day.

As a Roman, I felt it every time I went there. People speak quietly. Restaurants don't shout at you from the street. Nobody's performing.

Everything is measured.Image
Image
What most people don't know: Turin invented more of what we call Italian culture than almost anywhere else.

Vermouth, 1786. The whole aperitivo tradition.

Gianduja, which became Nutella when Napoleonic blockades forced chocolatiers to mix cocoa with Piedmont hazelnuts. Pietro Ferrero made it spreadable in 1946.

The Slow Food movement. The first Eataly, opened in a former vermouth factory in 2007.

The Egyptian Museum here is the second largest after Cairo. The Mole Antonelliana houses the National Cinema Museum.

The Royal Palace complex is UNESCO World Heritage.Image

MY FRIEND IS STILL PAYING FOR GMAIL STORAGE.

I told him to do this before.
He went from 14.9/15 GB to 6 GB in a single afternoon.

Hope this helps you ↓
1. Find the real space hogs in Gmail

First, check Gmail’s storage breakdown:

Go to drive.google.com/settings/stora…

Check what is using space in Gmail, Drive, and Photos

Click on “Gmail” to see the main culprits

Then, in the Gmail search bar, type:

has:attachment larger:10M (finds emails larger than 10 MB)

Sort by size, select several, and delete what you don’t need

Try larger:5M or larger:3M for a more aggressive cleanup

Just deleting large attachments can instantly free up gigabytes of space.
2. Delete entire categories in bulk

Gmail automatically sorts emails — use this to clean up quickly:

Search: category:promotions (all promotional emails)

Search: category:social (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. notifications)

Search: category:updates (receipts, confirmations)

Check the box → “Select all conversations that match this search”

Delete everything at once

These categories build up over years, and most of them can be safely deleted.
