Speculative extensions toward โ€œbioโ€‘neuromodulationโ€
โ€ข One plausible hypothesis is that dolphins exploit fine control over click intensity, interโ€‘click interval, and beam aim to tune their own internal stateโ€” Image
e.g., shifting between exploration, precise discrimination, and social signaling modesโ€”by rhythmically driving specific auditoryโ€“limbicโ€“motor circuits.
โ€ข Closeโ€‘range social sonar (very nearโ€‘field inspections, body scanning, jawโ€‘toโ€‘head orientations) could, in theory, produce patterned acoustic loading on a partnerโ€™s cranial and soft tissues, modulating peripheral receptors and perhaps shallow neural structures;

Iโ€™m a 54-year-old low-tech dinosaur. I can barely find the settings menu.
Still made $3,000 on X last month by posting about physics, cosmos stuff.

If youโ€™re still young and want to build a side hustle on X, read this:
1. Start with the basics (eligibility) for at least 6 months.
2. Pick one lane first for at least 6 months. Ads rev share, subs, affiliates, sponsors. Choose one to learn before stacking the rest.
3. Post daily (or almost daily) for at least 6 months. Consistency beats โ€œrandom genius once a week.โ€
4. Chase attention, but keep trust for at least 6 months. Viral gets views. Trust gets income.

@michaeldweiss 1).
โ€žThe semiautonomous Kurdish region of northeastern Syria remains a major obstacle to Ahmed al-Sharaa สผs consolidation of control over Syria after the collapse of the Assad regime in 2024.
@michaeldweiss 2).
Turkey, meanwhile, has long had designs to get rid of Kurdish fighters who are affiliated with the Kurdistan Workersโ€™ Party, also known as the PKK, which both Turkey and the U.S. view as a terrorist group.โ€

1/ Quick field update from Raqqa, Syria based on the latest developments.

So far, only one civilian fatality (sniper fire) reported. No injuries, no destruction, no displacement. Image
2/ Strategic decision emerging:
No humanitarian corridors announced. The push indicates intent to decide the battle fast, before political pressure. Apparent outcome so far: โ€œWest of the Euphratesโ€ fully is a target, securing the Deir Ezzourโ€“Raqqaโ€“Aleppo highway.
3/ Geography that matters:
All fighting centers on the main road linking Deir Ezzour โ†’ Raqqa (straight through) โ†’ Aleppo, with advances from Maadan (east/DEZ side) and Maskanah (west/Aleppo side).

Whatโ€™s happened over the last few days?

Itโ€™s been a very long time since the meta has been this volatile.
New comps are popping up every day and new tech is being shared.

So we wanted to go over some of the changes that have happened during this patch: Image
The Rise of 8 Yordle:

Different variations of Yordles have seen success in Masters+

With buffs to Ziggs and bug fixes to both Fizz and Veigar, all three carries are seeing major success.

You want to play 8 Yordles usually only when you have unlocked Veigar, as the comp canโ€™t stabilize to go 9 for Ziggs without him.

Without Veigar, playing 8 Yordles will lead into lines such as Ziggs + Ryze fast 9.Image
Ziggs and Ryze was the first comp to make a splash on the day 1.

Itโ€™s fallen slightly over the last few days due to the optimization of comps like Bilgewater, but still remains one of the strongest caps.

It can be a difficult comp to get to and requires a large number of unlocks (4). You also need to hold lower cost units like Caitlyn and Vi that you might otherwise not have played on your strongest board getting to 9.Image

IMAGINE the body being used as anchor for psychopathy.

The wind on the summit THAT didnโ€™t HOWL, but SHRIEKED WITH A HUMAN CADENCE.

He had been gone for forty days, and the man who climbed the mountain was not the thing that came back down.
His eyes were no longer focused on the horizon, but turned inward, reflecting a private, burning hell. He claimed he had seen a bush that consumed itself without being reduced to ashโ€”a metabolic impossibility that mirrored the Malignant Narcissism devouring his own soul.
He stood on a shelf of rock overlooking the huddled, terrified tribe. He didn't speak of love or peace. He spoke of a Debt of Flesh.

"The Voice requires a signature," he rasped, his voice sounding like dry scales rubbing together. "A mark that cannot be hidden.

1/ Donald Trump's aggressive tactics over Greenland are causing consternation among his far-right allies in Europe. With European publics overwhelmingly against surrendering Greenland, leading European far-rightists have come out in opposition to Trump's plans. โฌ‡๏ธ Image
2/ Bloomberg reports that Trump's designs have forced his ostensible allies to reconsider their support for him. Some may fear voters turning on them for their past support of Trump, much as Pierre Poilievre suffered in Canada in 2024.
3/ ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Alternative for Germany co-leader Alice Weidel says that Trump has acted no differently to Vladimir Putin in his actions in Venezuela and threats against Greenland. "Trump has violated a fundamental campaign promise โ€” namely not to interfere in other countries," she says.

Race and Catholicism ๐Ÿงต 1/20
The diversity of races is not an accident of history, but a manifestation of the "divine plan." As Pope Pius XII noted, these differences contribute to the "richness of human life and culture" within the whole human family. 2/20
Godโ€™s creation is marked by a beautiful variety. Just as there is diversity in the stars, the human family is composed of distinct groups with unique characteristics and lineages that reflect the Creatorโ€™s intent. 3/20
