A girl who commits a sin or makes a mistake, and despite all that, she goes, lays out her prayer mat, prays, and makes du’a as if nothing happened! Honestly, and no offense, you’re…
You’re sitting there doing the greatest jihad that Allah loves! 🥹🌸
Worship during times of brokenness is precious to Allah, and it has come in the authentic hadith from Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Prophet ﷺ said:

A widow can claim the state benefit for five years after her husband dies, and she keeps it only if she does not remarry.
She also needs a notarized consent form for the storage and use of his biomaterial, one the soldier had to sign in person while he was still alive. 2/

1/ Ukraine's systematic destruction of Wildberries warehouses across Russia should be understood as an act of psychological warfare intended to remind Russians of the ruinous 1990s, argues RIA Novosti correspondent Sergei Shilov in a lengthy commentary. ⬇️
2/ Writing on the 'Witnesses of Bayraktar' Telegram channel that Shilov co-manages with RT correspondent Alexander Karchenko, Shilov says that Ukraine aims "to "flood" Russia with chaos" by striking at "a more vulnerable target: the public psyche."
3/ "The operation’s primary objective is not merely to manufacture a crisis—though that is certainly part of their aim. Above all, they seek to shape the perception of the civilian population.
How odd to deny a claim that hasn’t been made
What the story does say, because it is what sources in the Neso control room are saying, is that the new energy mix is becoming extremely difficult to manage safely

Senior advisor to Anthony Fauci, David Morens used his personal email to discuss NIH-related matters and the origin of the Covid pandemic with funding recipients like the EcoHealth Alliance that sent money to Wuhan for risky virus research.
Morens is charged with conspiracy against the US; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal, or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting.
From emails released via FOIA or subpoena, there are several co-conspirators and scientists who received communications from Morens' personal gmail, knowing he was attempting to evade FOIA.
"I forgot to say there is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail, or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble."
"The email somehow fell into the hands of the Congressman, probably via a FOIA of someone who didn't delete it, as I did... mine was erased long ago (I verified that today) and I feel pretty sure Tony's was too. The best way to avoid FOIA hassles is to delete all emails when you learn a subject is getting sensitive..."
"From Tony's numerous recent comments to me, and from what Francis has been vocal about over the past 5 days, they are trying to protect you [Peter Daszak, then president of EcoHealth Alliance], which also protects their own reputations"

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche: “As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19."

"The indictment alleges that the conspirators used Morens’s personal Gmail account to... “back-channel” information to Senior NIAID Official 1 [Fauci]. According to the indictment, each of these matters fell within Morens’s role as senior advisor and constituted federal records"
1/ Does the Russian soldier in your life need something to entertain him? A Russian entrepreneur has come up with the perfect answer: a board game called Silapoly which features 'Uncle Vova', the Oreshnik missile, the FSB, and anything else needed to control Russia. ⬇️
2/ Silapoly is an adaptation of the classic board game Monopoly that relocates the action and game mechanics for a (satirical?) depiction of modern Russia. The player must "build an empire, manage money, and fight for power."
3/ According to the product description, the game "combines strategy, economic mechanics, politics, history, and the atmosphere of modern Russia". Like in Monopoly, players are dealt cards and purchase assets to gain the upper hand.
Institutional investors (pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers, private equity) are the worst at doing anything about climate or climate finance
Sitting on $100+ trillion in AUMs, they contribute a pathetic $24b, or just 1.2% of total global climate finance

They're also moving backwards: In 2023, this category stood at $29b, or 1.5% of total flows. Between 2023 and 2024, while overall global climate finance grew to cross $2 trillion, institutional investor commitments shrank by 17%, a scandal

PREVENTATIVE HEALTH TESTING
Wrote this an article yesterday.
Performed poorly.
Alberta's Bill 29.
Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2026.
Is now LAW.
Royal Assent was May 14.
Here's what it actually does,
How it got there,
And what's still unknown.

Three stated pillars, in her own words to the Legislature.
1) Self-referred preventative health testing
2) Faster access to addictions treatment medication
3) Legislative alignment for the AHS "refocusing" restructuring

The headline piece -
It creates a legal framework letting Albertans access certain preventative diagnostic tests -
Think imaging or bloodwork -
Through accredited private facilities WITHOUT a doctor's referral first.

🚨What is the economic value of the ocean’s natural #CDR?
New study estimates the ocean removes ~1.13 billion tCO₂/yr, creating $2.32 trillion in annual Blue C Wealth.
Over 90% of this value comes from open-ocean biological processes, rather than coastal ecosystems.🧵1/11

2/ Blue carbon has traditionally referred to carbon captured by mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes.
This study expands the concept by including the Biological Carbon Pump (BCP), where phytoplankton transport carbon from surface waters into the deep ocean.

Today it's worth $5 BILLION (tax free).

It's not magic.
Thiel bought 1.7 million PayPal shares at $0.001 each...
And stuffed them in his Roth IRA.

Every dollar of that growth was tax free 🫢

A guy's iPhone battery was dying by 2 PM every day.
He was about to spend $99 on a battery replacement. His phone was 14 months old. Battery health: 91%. That's not a worn-out battery that's a software problem.
His coworker a former Apple Genius who spent 4 years at the Genius Bar diagnosing battery complaints looked at his Settings for 60 seconds and said:
"Your battery isn't dying. Your settings are killing it. You have 47 apps refreshing in the background. Your screen brightness is at 100% indoors. Location Services is running on 39 apps you haven't opened in 6 months. The Always-On Display is bleeding power 24 hours a day. And you're charging the phone wrong which is why you're at 91% health after 14 months instead of 97%."
She changed 11 settings in 8 minutes.
His phone lasted until 11 PM that night. Same battery. Same hardware. Same iPhone. Different settings.
Here are 11 settings that drain your battery and destroy its long-term health and the exact fix for each one 🧵

First the 2 battery problems most people confuse.
The former Genius said 90% of battery complaints mix up two completely different problems:
Problem 1: Daily battery life. "My phone dies by 3 PM." This is a software and settings problem. Apps, brightness, background processes, and features draining the battery faster than necessary. Fixable in 8 minutes.
Problem 2: Long-term battery health. "My battery is at 84% after 2 years." This is a chemistry problem. Lithium-ion batteries degrade over time based on: charge cycles, heat exposure, and voltage stress (keeping the battery at 100% for extended periods). Manageable through charging habits and specific settings.
Most "battery" threads address one or the other. This thread addresses both the 7 settings that fix your daily battery life today, and the 4 settings that preserve your battery health for years.
"Fix the daily drain first. Then protect the long-term health. In that order. Most people do neither because they think the battery is broken. It almost never is."

Setting 1: Check Battery Usage find the app that's secretly draining you.
Settings → Battery → wait for the list to load → scroll down.
This screen shows every app's battery consumption over the last 24 hours and last 10 days. Each entry shows: percentage of battery used + screen time vs background activity.
The killer metric: background activity. If an app shows 45 minutes of "Background Activity" but 0 minutes of "Screen Time" that app is running behind the scenes without you using it. Draining battery silently.
Common offenders: Facebook (notorious for background drain). Instagram. Snapchat. News apps that refresh constantly. Weather apps that track your location 24/7. Shopping apps you opened once 3 months ago.
The former Genius checks this first on every device: "The 1 battery complaint I solved at the Genius Bar was 'my battery drains too fast.' The 1 cause: 3-5 apps running in the background consuming 30-40% of the daily battery. The fix: identify them on this screen and disable their background refresh. 60-second diagnosis. Instant improvement."
