🇺🇳🇩🇪 This man was by far the worst fascist in Europe during COVID. This mentally ill person belongs in a maximum-security facility, not in consideration for WHO leadership.

🧵 a thread.

#1 Unredacted protocols revealed that former German Health Minister @Karl_Lauterbach intended to restrict access to gastronomy and supermarkets exclusively to those who are boosted.

This criminal shockingly still remained in office instead of facing solitary confinement.

#2 Lauterbach also justified the rigorous redaction of the above-mentioned documents. He seriously claimed that almost exclusively the names of the RKI employees were redacted to protect them from hate and agitation.

It seems the RKI has many employees.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce the International Olympic Committee (IOC) @Olympics . It’s mostly known for organizing sporting events, and for being supposed to foster the Olympic ideal while actually submitting to dictators.

1/15

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was founded in 1894 in Paris by Pierre de Coubertin with a noble goal: promote peace through sports. Politics out, sportsmanship in: sounds great in theory.

2/15

But in practice, the IOC has a long history of accommodating authoritarian regimes, always in the name of “neutrality,” “dialogue,” and “keeping sports separate from politics”, usually not in a particularly consistent or moral way.

1/ Breaking News: Yesterday, February 12, 2026, PA Finance Minister Estephan Salameh held a high-stakes press conference. The message was clear: despite a staggering $15.4 billion debt and near-total insolvency, the "Martyr’s Fund" remains untouchable. 🚨

2/ The "Pay for Slay" Commitment: Minister Salameh emphasized that $ to the families of terrorist murderers—often referred to as "Pay for Slay"—will continue. He called it a "national issue par excellence," vowing to uphold these commitments despite "extreme" financial pressure.

BREAKING: The High Court has dismissed the Good Law Project’s challenge to the EHRC interim guidance on single and separate-sex facilities.

Mr Justice Swift endorsed the EHRC update as an accurate statement of the law for employers & service providers.

The update says service providers and employers can only provide lawful separate sex facilities based on sex, and suggested where possible they offer a unisex alternative.

GLP was judged not to have standing as it lacked “sufficient interest”. The anonymous claimants did have standing, and so their substantive arguments were considered.

Worth watching. The rate of change is still accelerating.

Read an interesting article the other day about the "Middle Powers". The two Great Powers of today are the US & China. The Middle Powers are nations such as Germany, the UK & Canada. They are fearful & angry

because as the World splits into competing geopolitical blocs, both Great Powers are dropping the facade of fair & equal competition among equal nations. Instead, both are openly wielding real power, and aren't acting like equal partners of the weaker nations.
2/

The Middle Powers are not at all happy about this, and some of them like Carney, Starmer & Macron are trying to put together a coalition that will allow their safe & artificial world to continue.

They want to trade among themselves, while building individual & collective

@terrychristian It certainly is an argument if it puts paid to other negative things

But also, you don't want to attract people solely for the money, some of the best people for the job may be those who don't want it because they understand the gravity of what it means to represent your people

@terrychristian But they're often the best people for the job

So many things need changing, the unelected House of Lords as well

There are a lot of systems still in situ that just help power protect itself and that needs to change

@terrychristian I can't help but think how maybe it might be better having 6-700 individuals in there with no party allegiance working together instead

With our system, it's still all about power, who has it, who wants it, how to get it etc

If you bring in proportional representation in then

$129 million a month. That is what Russia’s steel lobby wants to remove from the budget in tax relief.

Bloomberg: Moscow faces mounting corporate rescue demands as wartime spending strains state finances. 1/

A steel industry group asks to scrap the raw steel excise and iron ore extraction tax. The move would cost about $129M per month. Profits at top steelmakers have fallen, though they remain globally profitable with low debt. 2/

The Transport Ministry seeks 65 billion rubles for Russian Railways. The state monopoly had requested 200 billion rubles in emergency aid in late 2025 to sustain operations and investment under rising costs and heavy debt. 3/

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin: Russia’s war against Ukraine is criminal aggression, and Russians can love their country while supporting Ukraine’s defense. 1/

Buterin: Two arguments are used to justify the invasion — Russia’s right to block NATO expansion, and claims that Russian speakers in Crimea and Donbas needed protection. Neither explains launching a full-scale invasion in 2022. 2/

Buterin: NATO expanded because countries feared Russia after Moldova (1992), the two Chechen wars (1994–2000), and Georgia (2008). In 1991, 51% of Crimea and over 80% in Donbas voted for Ukrainian independence. 3/

This month, SpaceX disconnected Starlink terminals near the front at Ukraine’s request after Kyiv reported Russian forces were using them to receive commands, coordinate assaults, and pilot drones. 2/

A senior NATO official said the cutoff placed Russian units in a “command and control predicament.”

Some Russian frontline elements had integrated Starlink into daily operations despite the service not officially operating in Russia. 3/

This is really wild.

A 20 year old interviewed 12 AI researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

They all use the same 10 prompts and you've probably never seen them.

Not the ones on X. Not the "mega prompts." Not what courses teach.

These are the prompts that actually ship frontier AI products.

Here's the prompts you can steal right now:

1. The "Show Your Work" Prompt

"Walk me through your reasoning step-by-step before giving the final answer."

This prompt forces the model to externalize its logic. Catches errors before they compound.

2. The "Adversarial Interrogation"

"Now argue against your previous answer. What are the 3 strongest counterarguments?"

Models are overconfident by default. This forces intellectual honesty.

Can Low Iron Levels Exacerbate ADHD?

Most view ADHD primarily as a neurodevelopmental deficit in dopaminergic transmission.

However, clinical data suggests that for a subset of patients, the pathology is aggravated by an often overlooked metabolic variable: systemic iron deficiency.

Low peripheral iron levels do not just cause anaemia; it also alters the brain’s ability to synthesise the neurotransmitters required for focus.

Here’s a breakdown of how low iron levels can exacerbate ADHD: 🧵👇

The primary mechanism linking low iron to ADHD involves the enzymatic production of dopamine.

Iron acts as a critical cofactor for tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the catecholamine synthesis pathway.

When ferritin levels are insufficient, the brain cannot maintain adequate dopamine synthesis.

This creates a functional dopamine deficit that mirrors or intensifies the core executive dysfunction seen in ADHD.

Beyond neurotransmitter synthesis, iron is vital for sustaining the functional inhibitory control of the central nervous system.

Insufficient ferritin levels impair the brain's ability to inhibit motor output through the dopamine pathway.

This creates a state of central dopaminergic deficiency that manifests as clinical motor restlessness.

When iron-dependent synthesis stalls, it compromises the neural "brakes" required to gate movement and maintain physical stability.
