⚡️russian foreign intelligence service claim that Ukraine is allegedly “preparing strikes against russia from Latvian territory” involving the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces is false.
✅ Latvian Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba has officially refuted these claims.
✅ Latvian Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba has officially refuted these claims.
Baiba Braže described russian foreign intelligence service statement as a disinformation campaign and clearly emphasized that Latvia does not allow its airspace to be used for any attacks on russia.
The minister added that this position has been repeatedly communicated to russian representatives. The accusations against Latvia are accompanied by undisguised threats from russia to strike so-called “decision-making centers” on Latvian territory.
I came to America from South Africa with nothing. No scholarship. No connections. I walked on to a college tennis team and nobody knew my name.
Four years later, Arthur Ashe handed me a trophy at the US Open for college tennis player of the year in the entire United States.
He had Lp(a). I have Lp(a).
He had a heart attack at 36 on a tennis court. I had a heart attack at 52 on a tennis court.
He died at 49. I survived.
My son David has the same genetics. He was tested at 15.
This is a story about three tennis players and a $30 test that nobody ordered.
They said Lp(a) is genetic and cannot be moved. I moved it from 276 to 52. Then I stopped. On my terms.

Arthur Ashe was one of the greatest tennis players who ever lived.
In 1979 he had a heart attack while holding a tennis clinic in New York. He was 36 years old. He was at peak physical fitness. A world-class athlete.
His heart disease was driven by a genetic condition involving high Lp(a). Lipoprotein little a. An inherited particle that promotes plaque buildup in your arteries.
Nobody tested for it. Nobody knew.
He underwent quadruple bypass surgery. During the surgery he received a blood transfusion that gave him HIV. He died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1993. He was 49.

Ten years after his heart attack, Arthur Ashe stood in front of me at the US Open and handed me the college player of the year trophy. 1989.
I was 22. He was 46. Three years from death.
Two tennis players standing together. Both carrying Lp(a) in their blood. Both carb-loading on pasta, sports drinks, and the performance diet the system told us was healthy. Both with hearts quietly building plaque that nobody was looking for.
Neither of us knew.

STAR WARS: EPISODE I – THE PHANTOM MENACE was released 27 years ago today. The fourth release in the Star Wars series, and probably the most anticipated movie ever to come out of Hollywood, the story behind the scenes will blast you into oblivion…

Even before the original trilogy became a huge success, George Lucas had always planned for the Star Wars saga to be told across multiple movies. Having negotiated a studio deal allowing him to retain sequel rights when making the first film, he planned for a total of nine.

Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) would later say that Lucas discussed the idea of an older Luke with him in the mid-1980s, while actress Sybil Danning said Lucas had asked her if she’d be interested in playing a Jedi Witch in a movie set before the originals.

The way you people whine about Muslims
you’d genuinely think that Muslims across Europe are committing various genocides, oppressing you, hunting you, stealing your land. But they’re not. The sole genocide committed in Europe in the last 80 years was committed against Muslims!

I lived it and I witnessed it and I survived it. So, while you spend your days mourning the Crusades & fantasising about how the Muslims are “out to get you” and pretending you’re a victim…I am an actual victim of a genocide, of oppression, of ethnonationalism, of Christianity!
While you spend your days on twitter and reddit, pretending that Muslims are stealing your jobs, stealing your homes, stealing your land, raping your women, slaughtering your family members…I don’t have to pretend that Christians did that to me because they did.

📌 Style #1: Value Investing
Buy great businesses at unfair prices. Ignore the noise. Wait. Win.
Practitioners: Buffett, Munger, Klarman, Graham
◆ The Intelligent Investor — Benjamin Graham
Why this book: Written in 1949. Still the Bible of value investing. Graham invented the concept of margin of safety, the idea that you don't need to be right, you just need to not be wrong by too much.
Buffett calls it "the best book about investing ever written."
If you believe price and value are different things — this style is yours.

📌 Style #2: Growth Investing
Don't buy cheap. Buy right. Pay for quality. Let compounding do the rest.
Practitioners: Peter Lynch, Phil Fisher, Terry Smith
◆ Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits — Philip Fisher
Why this book: Fisher didn't care about P/E ratios. He wanted to know: Does the company have products that can grow sales for years? Does management think long-term? Is R&D real or theatre?
His "Scuttlebutt Method" — talking to suppliers, customers, and competitors before buying — is still used by top fund managers today.
Warren Buffett said he is "85% Graham and 15% Fisher." That 15% built a lot of wealth.
If you'd rather own a great company at a fair price — this style is yours.

Russian blogger Alexei Rogozin warns that the American company Palantir has provided Ukraine with AI tools that process vast amounts of data to integrate with and leverage long-range UAV strike capabilities.

“Ukraine's long-range strikes on Russian targets cannot be viewed solely as a problem of air defense. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or missile is just the final link in the chain.

“The main work begins earlier: reconnaissance, accumulation of digital traces, analysis of satellite and aerial photos, comparison of open and closed data, assessment of the vulnerability of objects, and review of the results of previous strikes.
