🧵YSK:
The "data center hysteria" is largely a repacking of the "climate change hysteria."
The hysteria is fueled, in part, by bad data, lack of perspective, and influence operations that lead with emotional bait.
Like the 20th-century predictions of climate catastrophes, it is another form of anti-capitalism (pro-communism) propaganda meant to capture your mind through fear.

In 2025, a left-wing anti-AI author, Karen Hao, published her non-fiction book 'Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI.'
It's done very well. A NYT bestseller and winner of multiple awards, the book received much praise.

Anti-AI and anti-data center sentiments, which go hand in hand, are now mainstream, and this book boosted them there.
You may have noticed the uptick in opposition to both.
Sometimes the angle of surveillance, aka "Big Brother," is also included.

THREAD: My wife, Yolanda, is fighting for her life. We need your help. 🧵
Over five years. Stage 4 colon cancer. Metastasized to her liver. Now her lungs.
Over 100 rounds of chemotherapy. Five surgeries — including a brutal 10-hour operation and a 3 am emergency surgery at 3 am (last September), where a trauma surgeon gave her a 70% chance of never leaving the table.
She proved them wrong.

But the chemo stopped working. Tumors progressed. So now she's on immunotherapy — nivolumab + ipilimumab, every three weeks. Fourth and final induction round hits June 4th.
The lung lesions are small. They should respond. We're holding onto that.

ApoB in 2026: the question is no longer whether ApoB matters. The question is how far ApoB can take us in understanding which particles drive risk (LDL, TRL/remnants, Lp(a)) and how we should act on them. #EASCongress2026 #MyEAS2026
One key message: LDL-C can be lowered to very low levels without apparent detriment. But ApoB reminds us that risk is not only about cholesterol mass. It is also about the number and biology of atherogenic particles. #EASCongress2026 #MyEAS2026
@society_eas @EASCongress LDL, TRL/remnants and Lp(a) do not contribute equally across patients. ApoB may give us the particle burden, but the next step is understanding the risk-weight of different ApoB-containing particles.
That is where residual risk becomes more interesting.

Ummm...no. @grok said 10K Truck Movements, not trucks.
A truck making two movements a day within 150 km of the Russian border for 30 days is 60 truck movements out of the 10K, or 0.6%.
@grok's estimate was based on mirror imaging Western Mechanized logistics.

I did two further @grok analytical passes which reduced the truck movements, first to 3K to 8K truck movements:
"Revised estimate: Likely 3,000–8,000+ effective military/logistics truck movements per month on key southern routes (e.g., M-14 segments, Mariupol–Taganrog/T-0509, Berdiansk/Melitopol spurs), potentially higher in gross passages but far lower in productive throughput than Western equivalents due to systemic non-mechanized constraints."

And then down to 2.5K to 7K truck movements, See:
"Likely 2,500–7,000 effective military/logistics truck movements per month on key southern routes (M-14 segments, Mariupol–Taganrog/T-0509, Berdiansk/Melitopol spurs), with gross passages potentially higher to offset massive inefficiencies—but productive throughput remains severely constrained by non-mechanized realities, supplements like rail/barge, and systemic intelligence blind spots."

Lots of things can be true at once. Here's my best reckoning with the absurdity of the Murrell admissions this week. Firstly - he deserves for the book to be thrown at him for his sustained, cynical & indefensible breach of trust over a long period. White collar crime is serious.
I think we'd benefit from a guideline from the Sentencing Council on fraud - but I would expect, even with a guilty plea, a prison term of 3 years reflecting the sustained abuse of trust, adjacency to public office - unknown quantities being how much is potentially recoverable.
Murrell's list of purchases are ridiculous and are rightly being mocked. The household stuff speaks of an utterly banal kleptomania and desire to own things which look cheap but apparently cost wild sums of cash (sorry Lalique but those pepper gringers are powerfully naff)
🚨 A Florida judge declined to block the state’s new congressional map for the 2026 elections.
Judge Joshua Hawkes says Florida courts cannot block the state’s new congressional map by temporarily reinstating the old 2022 map, because state leaders contend that map itself contains unconstitutional race-based districts.
Hawkes also says challengers have not yet shown enough evidence that the new map was drawn with unconstitutional partisan intent, calling the current record incomplete and emphasizing that expert evidence has not yet been fully tested in court.

REI membership is 85% white. As New York becomes less white, obviously businesses catering to overwhelmingly white hobbies like backpacking and camping will struggle.
Appalachian Trail thru-hikers and Yellowstone backcountry campers are both 95% white. A more diverse America will be less outdoorsy.
That’s roughly the same demographics as military special forces. Not to read too much into it, but a country with lots of men who enjoy surviving in the woods because it appeals to their resourcefulness and self-sufficiency is more formidable than one without such men.
In a sea of repeated ceasefire violations by Israel against Gaza, it remains important to note that Israel signed a ceasefire deal with *Hamas* yet continues to openly assassinate and attempts to assassinate Hamas officials and commanders, in addition to killing civilians daily.
Israel isn’t even bothering to pretend these officials are attacking Israeli forces or engaged in an imminent operation. Israel just cites “October 7” revenge as though this is some clause in the “ceasefire” deal it signed.
There is a pervasive lie that Hamas agreed to disarm as part of the Gaza deal. No such agreement was signed by Hamas. This is a total fabrication used to justify Israel’s attempt to continue its ethic cleansing operations and to obtain a “surrender” it failed to achieve in war.
Founded in 1964, The Deacons for Defense & Justice was an armed Black self defense group who stood up against the KKK & discriminatory treatment by police in the Jim Crow South

On July 10, 1964, a group of black men in Jonesboro, Louisiana led by Earnest “Chilly Willy” Thomas and Frederick Douglas Kirkpatrick founded the group known as The Deacons for Defense and Justice.
As the black leaders began to rise to the occasion in the Deep South, conflict was sure to come knocking. The deacons provided security for black leaders all over the south. They worked closes with king though he preached non violence.
As a recap on my appearance, Eli Lilly is pursuing:
- A one-dose drug for preventing most heart disease
- A vaccine for chlamydia
- A vaccine for gonorrhea
- A vaccine for Epstein-Barr
- A drug that lets you stay awake longer and feel more rested
It's a golden age of pharma!

And remember, Eli Lilly's big break historically was the University of Toronto licensing them to produce insulin.
They started off by giving it out for free, saving the world's diabetics at a time when there was no treatment available.
They've always been a force for good.

I think
- The heart disease drug will succeed
-- Will it commercialize? It can, easily. But I'm 50/50 due to the competition
- Chlamydia and gonorrhea vax will succeed, but I don't see much commercial potential with Lilly
- EBV vaccine will fail with Lilly, succeed eventually
