@EricLDaugh 1/5 Did you even READ the fucking bill? You stated "Utterly insane. This DOES NOT IMPACT ICE, which was fully funded by the Big Beautiful Bill". YES, it was ERIC, and the NEW BILL asks for even MORE billions, so your statement of "This DOES NOT IMPACT ICE" is a
2/5 BLATANT fucking lie! Here is a section of this bill you ReTRUMPlicans are trying to pass...

U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT
For necessary expenses of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (which is ICE, ERIC!) for operations and support,

The Strait of Hormuz is once again in the cross-hairs of US-Iran tensions

Here is what we should be paying attention to /THREAD
There are two scenarios for a Strait of Hormuz blockade

The first is an isolated blockade: this forces Saudi Arabia to reroute some oil through the Red Sea and the UAE via Fujairah while choking off Qatar's LNG, Iraq and Kuwait's oil /1
The second is a multi-pronged maritime chokepoint offensive

The Houthi-Al Shabaab alliance chokes of the Bab el-Mandeb and strikes on Fujairah follow (2019 UAE attack is a precedent). This drags the GCC countries into the US-Iran conflict /2

New GL narrative - trolls glad GL lied about being under HUR for years. Wow.

Budanov was running HUR when its official announcement KO'ed the LARP. They going to start the "Every name I'm salty about is FSB" game with Mr. Lists or what?? ๐Ÿฟ

Receipts time - again? Again.๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Narrator's voice: They totally claimed to be under HUR for years. In fact, they kept it up when their "commander" had no contract at all to fight in Ukraine after April '23.

Reminder: in Feb '25 HUR intervened because the LARP was starting an incident with Slovakia. Image
Image
Image
They specifically claimed to have a unit ID number under HUR, too.

The real deal doesn't harass volunteers, put nazi mustaches on ZSU defenders, or struggle to make a journalist who put his name on a many others' whistleblowing their straw-man.

Let's understand this by unpacking BYD's crazy history!

1/ BYD was founded in 1995, making batteries for Nokia phones.

Today it's the world's #1 EV maker, operates its own fleet of mega ships, mines its own lithium, and sold 4.6 million vehicles in 2025.

This is the story of the most aggressive vertical integration in automotive history. ๐Ÿงต
2/ Let's start with the numbers, because they're genuinely insane.

๐Ÿ“Š BYD annual NEV sales:

2018: 247,000
2021: 721,000
2023: 3,020,000
2024: 4,272,000
2025: 4,600,000 โœ… World #1

That's an 18x increase in 7 years. Toyota took 70 years to get to that scale.
3/ In 2024 alone, BYD's revenue hit 777 billion yuan (~$107 billion USD) โ€” up 23% YoY.
R&D spend: 54.2 billion yuan. That's MORE than their net profit.
They've outspent profits on R&D 13 out of 14 years. This isn't a company optimising for today. It's building a decade ahead.

@elonmusk Here is an article about how the energy crisis predicted by Eric Schmidt could be theoretically prevented through targeted investments in photonic chips, biocomputing and quantum technologies, and how the technology could make AI scalable.
@elonmusk
@elonmusk FinalSpark builds so-called "biological processors" (bioprocessors) that consist of living human neurons. These neurons are grown in the form of tiny, spherical structures โ€“ so-called organoids (mini-brains).

An in depth, insider view of the story behind the Chagos deal. Itโ€™s paywalled so I will do my best to summarise: The โ€œdealโ€ is more important and valuable than many people will ever understand (or be allowed to). It gives the US a vital base and we get so much more in return.
2/ It is part of the โ€œgreat gameโ€ with China, and locks Mauritius into a dependency on us that makes the islands more secure as a base. The โ€œdealโ€ was considered the only SAFE and GUARANTEED way to retain access and use in the longer term by both US and UK diplomats.
3/ America wanted the deal and even pushed hard for it, and there were UK fears that without one American would get its own and we would get cut out of the benefits - it drove the imperative to complete it. The highlights of the deal are: Image

The productivity of the electricity generation sector has halved since generation peaked in 2005. Renewables are dragging us over the energy cliff. A thread (1/n) Image
Over the past few weeks the government has released the results of the AR7 and AR7a renewables auctions and celebrated the creation of up to 17,000 jobs. But more jobs in electricity generation is not a goodie thing - akin to digging holes and filling them in again (2/n)
Looked at in terms of Gross Value Added (GVA), electricity generation productivity looks superficially good. Even though hours worked has soared, GVA/hour has gone up. But this is only tracking high energy prices (3/n) Image

Salt, saints, and statecraft, in 1382. ๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿ“œ
King Tvrtko I founded a new coastal town, then Dubrovnik asked him to stop selling salt there.
The result is a charter that reads like diplomacy in real time. ๐Ÿงต
Tvrtko opens with a devotional preface to Saint Stefan, the protomartyr.
He credits Stefanโ€™s intercession for his โ€œcrown, honor, and scepterโ€, and frames his rule as continuity with earlier Serbian kings and tsars. ๐Ÿ”ฝ
Then the concrete politics: in the ลฝupa of Draฤeviฤ, he chooses a site to build a town.
He names it Saint Stefan, and plans two things that matter on the Adriatic, a salt pan and a salt market. ๐Ÿง‚ ๐Ÿ”ฝ

๐Ÿšจ AI can now build resumes like LinkedIn's top career coaches (for free).

Here are 12 insane Claude prompts that replace $500/hour executive resume writers (Save for later) Image
1. The LinkedIn Top Voice Resume Rewriter

"You are a LinkedIn Top Voice career coach who has rewritten 5,000+ executive resumes that landed interviews at Google, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, and every Fortune 500 company.

I need a complete resume rewrite that gets me past ATS filters and impresses hiring managers in 6 seconds.

Rewrite:

- Professional summary: a 3-line hook that makes recruiters stop scrolling and read further
- Experience bullets rewritten using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result)
- Every bullet starts with a powerful action verb (led, built, drove, generated, scaled)
- Quantified achievements: add dollar amounts, percentages, team sizes, and time savings everywhere
- Skills section optimized with exact keywords from my target job descriptions
- Eliminate all weak language: responsible for, helped with, assisted in, worked on
- ATS keyword optimization: embed critical terms naturally without keyword stuffing
- Consistent formatting: clean hierarchy that both robots and humans can scan instantly
- Remove all filler: cut anything that doesn't directly prove I can do the target job
- Tailor every section specifically to the role I'm applying for

Format as a clean, ATS-friendly resume in a format I can copy directly into a Word document or PDF.

My current resume and target role: [PASTE YOUR CURRENT RESUME AND THE JOB DESCRIPTION YOU'RE TARGETING]"
2. The McKinsey Achievement Quantifier

"You are a senior recruiter at McKinsey & Company who screens thousands of resumes and knows exactly what separates a forgettable bullet point from one that lands an interview at a top-tier firm.

I need every accomplishment on my resume transformed into a quantified, results-driven bullet point.

Transform:

- Convert vague duties into specific measurable outcomes with numbers attached
- Add revenue impact: how much money did your work generate or save
- Add scale metrics: team size managed, customers served, projects delivered
- Add time metrics: deadlines beaten, speed improvements, efficiency gains
- Add percentage improvements: growth rates, conversion lifts, cost reductions
- Before and after framing: show the situation before you arrived vs after your impact
- Context setting: briefly explain the challenge so the achievement feels impressive
- Comparisons: outperformed benchmarks, ranked #1 out of X, exceeded targets by Y%
- Remove every bullet that only describes a task without showing a result
- Create achievement bullets for soft skills too: leadership, collaboration, communication

Format as a before/after comparison showing my original weak bullets and the rewritten power bullets side by side.

My experience: [PASTE YOUR CURRENT RESUME BULLET POINTS AND ANY DETAILS ABOUT YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS YOU CAN REMEMBER]"
