The Humble Journey of the People’s Prime Minister — A Region Where the ‘Kashmir Cause’ Somehow Means Convoys, Protocols, and Political Theatre
The Prime Minister of Pakistan-administered Kashmir finally visited his hometown Haveli — for the first time since becoming PM.
2. And, true to his trademark humility, he travelled with the quiet modesty of a saint:
A small motorcade of only forty vehicles.
Just forty — barely enough to cover a two-kilometre stretch of road.
The video shows a single policeman standing on an empty mountain road,
3
like a misplaced character waiting for his cue.
But the reality is far bigger than the frame.
Bec around 50 policemen were actually deployed —
from Lasdana all the way to Palangi, his native village —
standing the entire day, waiting for the royal caravan to glide by.

🧵United States v. Bolton

This case is going to go on for at least another year...

And there could be additional charges. Image
A Joint Status Report filed ahead of a Status Conference (held Friday) indicates that the bulk of discovery in this case will be classified.
That means CIPA (Classified Information Procedures Act) and counsel, plus others involved in the case, will need the appropriate clearances.

It's going to take some time. Months. Image

1/ Russian lawyers say that gamers could face up to six years in prison or charges of treason if they stream S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 or wear a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. T-shirt, following the Russian government's designation of its Ukrainian developers as an 'undesirable organisation'. ⬇️
2/ The Russian Prosecutor General's Office added Kyiv-based GSC Game World to its list of 'undesirable organisations' on 18 November. The developer relocated many of its staff to Prague after the full-scale Russian invasion began in February 2022.
3/ Since then, GSC has raised $800,000 for the Ukrainian military via a charity sale of its games and has also encouraged its fans to make donations to Ukrainian military causes. This has been cited by the Prosecutor General's Office in its decision.

Selling Bitcoin right here is a tragic error. The case for selling is based upon:

1. breaking 50 DMA and potential death cross
2. potential further draw downs
3. FUD surrounding quantum computing hack risk
I will address all three. A thread.

Bitcoin is the most asymmetric upside bet based upon the high probability of monetary debasement on the planet. We are very close to the point at which that debasement begins again. (The Big Print) that can be clearly seen in the following chart by Dan Oliver of Myrmikan Capital. As the following chart shows every time the Fed has tried to jump off the exponential monetary growth curve they have been forced into printing. We are there folks.Image
The return profile on Bitcoin is wildly asymmetric and happens quickly and on a few days. If you miss the key days you miss the upside. As Fred and Ben point out. Image

Lasar’s Group — one of Ukraine’s most lethal drone units has destroyed over $12B in Russian equipment.

Suspilne interviewed Roman “Fish,” a commander credited with 500+ armored kills from Kupiansk to Pokrovsk. 1/ Image
Fish joined Lasar’s Group almost from day one. The unit scaled from a few pilots to dozens and became a model of 2025 warfare:

“A small autonomous strike group can replace an entire machine of a regular army.”

They combine recon, heavy bombers, FPV and engineering. 2/
He explains why civilians dominate the unit:

“We’re not career soldiers. Like in civilian life, we focus on results, not procedures.”

This mindset let them adapt faster than Russia’s centralized, bureaucratic drone programs. 3/

Two countries.

Two charts.

A very similar (and concerning) trend.

…………..

Can you think of anything that happened in 2020 which is still affecting huge swathes of people on an ongoing basis and which may help explain this worrying trend?

If you haven’t figured it out yet, here’s a little clue… 🔎

Still not worked it out?

Here’s another clue from Jim Reed, the BBC’s health reporter…

„The Epstein files – the government’s data and physical evidence related to the Epstein investigation – have everyone all fired up, including Epstein’s brother, Mark.
2).

3).
He added that a »pretty good source« told him the files were being scrubbed of any »Republican names« in »Winchester« – the Va. city where the @FBI's main records-processing facility is located.

Visceral fat is the hidden fat that wraps around your organs.

It’s the most dangerous kind and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and even brain shrinkage.

Here are 6 science-backed ways to burn it off (without starving yourself): Image
Why visceral fat?

Unlike fat you can pinch, visceral fat is inflammatory.

It surrounds your liver, pancreas & intestines and releases cytokines that trigger chronic inflammation.

Also, it prevents blood flow from going to the brain, literally making you dumber.
How to track your visceral fat?

The best way to do this is through a CT scan or a DEXA scan.

The simplest way is to use a waist-to-height measurement:

If it is 0.9 or higher then chances are you are carrying around too much visceral fat.

Here are 6 science-backed ways to remove it from your body ↓

🚨Soil food webs boost carbon retention in farmlands

A new study reveals that simply returning crop residues to fields can supercharge soil food webs, enabling microbes, nematodes & fungi to lock significantly more photosynthetic C into farmland soils.

Details🧵1/8 #CarbonSink Image
2/ Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), used field trials and ¹³C isotope tracing to map how carbon fixed by crops travels into soil and through the soil food web.
3/ FINDINGS:

Returning crop residues (stover) emerged as a key driver:

It increased particulate organic carbon (POC) by ~30.96% & mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) by ~11.39% compared with plots where stover was removed.
