No need to adjust your television set, I promise you are not seeing double! But the error message on the screen is a "clue" as to why I now have two IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 systems. Let's talk about what I did this time... I guess we need to do a 🧵 
Well, first, let's clean up the new one. Oh boy, it is ever dirty!! Here's a before an after... I failed at getting a clear after picture. Sorry, no refunds 🤣
Let's test out the HDD. Woah!! It WORKS!! It does have a bad sector or two, but that's pretty incredible.
The most powerful democrat in the country does not support the MOU and ending hostilities with Iran. Not coincidently Schumer (1) is the only democrat in the senate who opposed Obama’s 2015 Iran Deal and (2) told the NYT last year his job was to “keep the left pro-Israel”
Note too that Schumer did not say a word of substantive criticism of Trump’s armada build up against Iran for eight days, only issuing rambling process criticisms two days before bombing and delaying a war powers vote long after the attack was underway.
As DropSite News reported in Feb, citing a congressional aide, there was support among certain Dems in the senate to stand by and let Trump do their dirty work on Iran then swoop in after it went to shit and use the disaster for political gain dropsitenews.com/p/trump-iran-r…
ACNA legislative news: Bp Chip Edgar (South Carolina), joined by Bp Chris Warner (Mid-Atlantic), withdrew the diocese's 2 resolutions seeking the release of the Ruch trial transcripts & the eventual third-party report on the Ruch investigation. 🧵
Instead, a "third-party mediated inquiry" will be pursued into the procedures of the Ruch court, led by 4 diocesan chancellors, with a final report to be given to the standing committees and clergy who want to see it.
Bp Edgar: "I have never been much of a student of math, but when I was in high school, I had a math teacher... [who] always said to us... 'always show your work... you must always justify your answers.'
Holy guacamole. Philly DA Larry Krasner was just caught lying by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. *ONE DAY LATER* His senior attorney supervisor is suspended for 3 years. Why? They have a secret policy about trying to free everyone that got a death penalty. And lied to the court.
👀"After multiple hearings and extensive briefing, we find that Nancy Winkelman knowingly made misrepresentations to effectuate a policy of vacating all death sentences on appeal, at PCRA, or on federal habeas review. We do not credit her testimony that there is no such policy."
Winkelman was, with no criminal experience, promoted to be "one of the four highest-level" attorneys in Krasner's office--reporting directly to him. And she used that role (according to this order) to obfuscate and lie, all in an attempt to free murderers. Not good!
View this as it relates to the Jeffrey Epstein Files.
Canada linked to McKinsey (it linked to Dominic Barton & Mark Wisemen and the Century Initiative) and Apollo named too.

This is from the Epstein Files and names the Canadian Connections. Apollo, McKinsey etc. We need to do an audit of the links CPPIB has to this mess because they also linked to Robin Hood linked to Glenn Dublin and Apollo etc.
CPPIB funded ICE and Weapons used in Gaza. Dominic Barton who worked for McKinsey and Mark Wiseman was former chair of CPPIB who worked for Blackrock. View this thread showing documents from the Epstein Files naming Apollo and McKinsey etc.

Intertrust was created by Schwarzman (he linked to Blackstone, Blackrock, Heritage Foundation & Canada’s Preston Manning ) It facilitated movements of funds from Donald Trump to Russia & rise of PM Harper. It linked to Glencore and Marc Rich who worked with Epstein. Money flowed via La Hougue through Canada
🚨 JD Vance just attacked Israel's cabinet.
While their people are under attack. While their cities are targeted. He chose this moment to lecture them about gratitude.
This is the same JD Vance whose deputy press secretary is Tucker Carlson's son.
The Tucker who platforms Nazis. Takes Qatari money. Whose son called Ben Shapiro "truly repulsive" for being pro-Israel.
The circle around Vance tells you everything.
This is who he is. 👇

$ABXX.TO Ok a live thread of the call. They're reading from a script!! Abaxx can't silence critics. @JoshCrumb reminds me of another 'CEO' that was in a similar position, body language says it all. @viceroyresearch 1/
$ABXX.TO Apparently they've more than enough explanation and documentation to lead an honest researcher to reconsider their view.
that's why they cancelled our invite. 2/

Instead, they simply ignore the many thoughtful and valid criticisms of their report, and the evidence and documents contradicting their claims. but they fail to point out that $ABXX.TO haven't responded, & where they have it's drivel. 3/
"We face an alarming trend on this court." Judge Bumatay with a rare "disgrantel"--a dissent from a grant of rehearing at the Ninth Circuit. He laments that in his circuit, religious liberty has been "relegated" to "a second-class right." For shame!
Judge Bumatay is joined by Judges VanDyke and Tung. This trio is probably the most conservative ideologically on the circuit that are also willing to rock the boat.
The original opinion by Judge Bumatay, joined by Judge Bress, affirmed a preliminary injunction allowing a religious organization to hire co-religionists despite the Washington State law attempting to interfere in religious affairs. The opinion was issued over a dissent.
The Qur’an explains the hidden pattern behind a person’s struggles with wealth.
Allah says:
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
Indeed, mankind was created restless.”
إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
“When hardship touches him, he panics.”
“When good touches him, he becomes withholding.” (Manūʿ)
(Qur’an 70:19–21)

Haluʿ (هَلُوع) - Inner Instability
A state of inner restlessness.
Easily shaken by situations.
Quickly affected by outcomes.
Never fully settled for long.
In real life:
• starting but not finishing things
• constant changes in direction
• needing quick results to stay consistent

When we came into office, we made a promise to Nigerians that food security would be a major pillar of our Renewed Hope agenda.
We promised to support our farmers, strengthen local production, reduce dependence on imports, and build an agricultural system strong enough to withstand shocks from beyond our borders.
That promise is being kept.

Over the past year, disruptions in global supply chains and rising costs of key fertiliser inputs, exacerbated by conflict in the Middle East, created serious pressure for many countries. For Nigeria, the risks were glaring if we failed to move fast. This includes potential input shortages, higher fertiliser prices, pressure on local blending plants, reduced farm productivity, and higher food prices.
I am pleased to inform you that we moved early.
Through the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative (PFI), now restructured under MOFI, we strengthened procurement, secured critical raw materials, signed forward agreements, improved coordination across the value chain, and protected Nigeria’s local fertiliser blending industry from the worst effects of global market disruption.

As of May 2026, more than 449,000 metric tonnes of fertiliser inputs, equivalent to about 9 million bags, had been secured, with 10 vessels discharged or in transit. We remain on track to deliver a 1.1 million metric tonne fertiliser programme this year, equivalent to about 22 million bags. Despite the global shocks, strategic contracting for key inputs also generated ₦61.58 billion in savings in 2026 alone, helping to keep fertiliser more affordable for farmers.
Nigeria now has more than 90 operational fertiliser blending plants, the largest blending capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa. This capacity means jobs, local production, industrial growth, and greater resilience for our food system.

We have just seen over Moscow today - with Ukrainian drones - the Russo-Ukrainian War's version of the RAF’s first 1,000-bomber raid of World War II, codenamed Operation Millennium, which took place on the night of May 30–31, 1942.

Operation Millennium, marked the first tactical deployment of the RAF "bomber stream".
That is, the tactic of flying a dense, tightly timed formation along a narrow corridor to overwhelm German radar networks and anti-aircraft defenses of the Kammhuber line.

When I look at the design of the air defense rings around Moscow.🧐⬇️
I can't help but think Ukraine used a 2026 "Drone Stream' to saturate one sector of these ring defenses like the RAF did to the Kammhuber line.

University of Waterloo's Jennewein group built a quantum interferometer made entirely of mirrors.
Over 0.97 visibility on distorted, multimode satellite beams. No adaptive optics. No chromatic dispersion.
Picks-and-shovels for free-space quantum networks. 🧵

Quick frame.
Free-space quantum links (satellite and drone QKD) need to interfere time-bin photons at the receiver. Atmospheric turbulence scrambles the wavefront.
The usual fix is adaptive optics: expensive, power-hungry, bad for spacecraft. Field-widened interferometers skip it. This paper builds one with only mirrors.

The setup, simplified.
The Offner Relay Interferometer (ORI). A spherical concave mirror plus a flat mirror in a folded cavity. Light bounces several times, building a long delay inside a small box.
No lenses. No glass. Path delays of 500 to 1020 ps in a footprint smaller than an equivalent Michelson.
