Islamic Resistance in Iraq: “Dismissals and reassignments from the level of the Chief of Staff and below are not reorganization, but a tacit admission of the collapse of the decision-making chamber, and an attempt to make the military pay the bill for political confusion and a strategic error that the US will continue to pay the price for indefinitely.”
"What is happening is not a war being managed, but a power being defeated while it remains arrogant. It is a clear tactical stumble and a strategic exposure for a state that was accustomed to defining war from above, only to find itself today being managed from below under the pressure of reality."
Full statement today:

🇮🇶 Islamic Resistance in Iraq:

"And Allah came upon them from where they had not expected, and He cast terror into their hearts."

The American today is not only making mistakes but is flailing under the pressure of successive shocks that it does not know how to handle, which is evident from the following:

1- The downing of a warplane west of Iran revealed unprecedented confusion in Washington, which no longer knows what it lost: was it an F-35A or an F-15E? When a power is confused about the nature of its loss, it has lost control before it even lost the aircraft.

2- Dismissals and reassignments from the level of the Chief of Staff and below are not reorganization, but a tacit admission of the collapse of the decision-making chamber, and an attempt to make the military pay the bill for political confusion and a strategic error that America will continue to pay the price for indefinitely.

3- The exhaustion of the target bank without achieving a decisive outcome, in contrast to the continued effectiveness of missiles and drones from Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, is pushing towards the bombing of civilian infrastructure. Here, power turns from a tool of decision into evidence of impotence, and when armies fail, they bomb cities.

4- American bases in the region have become ineffective, and alliances such as SOFA have begun to erode and enter a stage of freezing, with countries like France, Austria, Italy, and Spain announcing that they will not participate militarily.

Conclusion:
What is happening is not a war being managed, but a power being defeated while it remains arrogant. It is a clear tactical stumble and a strategic exposure for a state that was accustomed to defining war from above, only to find itself today being managed from below under the pressure of reality.

At grocery store the other day, ANOTHER asshole approached me to comment on my mask. He said, “you may as well leave the mask at home sweetheart, they don’t work”. 1/10
And even though I’d prepared to deliver my new speech the next time someone failed to mind their own business, all I said was, “what an oblivious thing to say!” 2/10
Anyway, this did not satisfy me and I was suddenly very angry, so when I saw him again in an aisle, I charged up to him and said 3/10

@stevesi28838948 Thank you for the clarification.

My perspective concerned government sponsorship of religious activities in official spaces.

You are quite correct that the government should not be making distinctions among religions, e.g., different Christian services today.

1/
@stevesi28838948 I do not know exactly what the Catholic customs for today are, but the services offered in a government facility should reflect equal treatment of all faith groups interested in participating.

I don’t like a “friendly reminder” of something that is supposed to be optional.

The Will..... conclusion

The journal started six years before he died. The early entries were ordinary, his health, his routine, things he was watching on TV, memories of my mother. Then somewhere around the second year the tone shifted. He started writing about us.
His children. Not bitterly. That's what made it harder to read. He wrote about us the way a man writes when he has accepted something and is no longer fighting it. He wrote about my brother's last visit. How he had stayed for two hours and spent 90 minutes on his phone.
He wrote about my sister calling every Sunday but how the calls had shortened over the years from 40 minutes to sometimes less than five. He wrote about me, and I had to put the journal down when I got to my section. He said I was the one he had expected most from in

SOVEREIGN MIND MECHANICAL BRIDGING OF THE GAP BETWEEN WANTING AND LIKING
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here are the primary somatic protocols to ensure pleasure has "weight" and integrity:
1. The "5-Second Somatic Anchor"

When you engage in a pleasurable act (eating, a cold shower, a walk, or tactile contact), the Amygdala and VTA (Ventral Tegmental Area) often rush ahead to the next hit. This leaves the current moment "empty."
The Protocol: Before and during the act, focus exclusively on one Kinetic Fact for 5 seconds.
The Science: This forces the Thalamus to send high-resolution data to the mPFC and Sensory Cortex, bypassing the "Wanting" script.

NEUROBIOLOGY OF THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

From a cutting-edge neurobiological perspective, the "Pleasure Principle" is the mechanical operation of the Mesolimbic Dopaminergic System.
Its primary function is not the delivery of satisfaction, but the encoding of salience and anticipation.

1. The Pleasure Principle: Fantasy vs. Survival
In the modern brain, the search for sensual satisfaction is more frequently attached to Fantasy (Anticipation)
than to Survival (Utility). This is due to the distinction between "Wanting" and "Liking":

Wanting (Dopamine/The "Ghost"): Mediated by the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) and the Nucleus Accumbens.
This system is triggered by "Priors" and "Scripts."

My ideal workflow:
1. In the morning, I have a 15-min standup meeting with a master AI who gives me progress of all subagents & tasks. I provide feedback & give instructions in one focused meeting
2. During the day, we all go our separate ways. Agents focus on their work; I focus on my work
3. In the afternoon, repeat step 1
The frequency between these standups can be decreased as agents get smarter and can do longer horizon tasks
Think about how the best human managers operate. They don't let reports ping them all day with random updates. They say: "Bring it to the standup. If it's not urgent, it waits."

That boundary is what makes them effective. Right now, AI users have no equivalent boundary. Every agent has a direct line to your attention

1/ A Four-Star’s History Lesson on the Iran War

A must-read summary of a great listen: see @nytimes @DavidAFrench's conversation with former commander of US Special Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

nytimes.com/2026/03/23/opi…
2/ To successfully meet the challenge the US currently faces in Iran, McChrystal recommends starting with “strategic empathy”: asking how the events occurring today look through the eyes of our adversary. (In the security studies canon, strategic empathy is an antidote to Americans’ natural “strategic narcissism” that understands events only through our own eyes, assumes others see the world as we do, and expects them to act only in response to our initiatives.)
3/ Specifically, McChrystal advocates beginning by asking how Iranian leaders remember the history that has led to this juncture: “I try to remind people whenever we think of what’s happening now: If we don’t understand the journey to this point, we don’t understand the attitudes that are going to drive decisions people make.” While Americans’ memory of Iran’s 1979 revolution and support for Shia militias leads US policymakers to view Iran as a “recalcitrant enemy,” for Iranians, it really starts in 1953 with US covert action to overthrow Iran’s elected leader.

An entire new world opens up for you once you find the courage to be bored. Treasure hides in the thoughts you fear.

But if you numb your boredom and run from it, then you guarantee your potential in life will never be realised.

Constant stimulation or your best life.
Up to you
You know this already, and I've repeated it a countless number of times. Yet so many of you will still be in the same loops you were in when you first heard it.

You have slept for years. You hardly remember the days.

It takes just ONE deliberate disruption to change your life.
Genuinely consider what kind of gold is buried in the deep grooves of your mind. All of your emotions, thoughts, experiences. You've read enough. At this point, the the thoughts of the majority only degrade the quality of your own.

Raw dog life. Unusual is fine.

Become a freak.

IS THERE ENOUGH SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT FEMALE TRANSGENDER ATHLETES ON TESTOSTERNE SUPRESSION HAVE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN OLYMPICS? 🧵🧵🧵👇👇
When I first read the IOC announcement of the new policy regarding female athletes screening genetic tests, my first thought as a Medical Geneticist was that it would be complex to apply, based on current scientific knowledge and evidence based medicine, for 46,XY female athletes
And that the police would be straightforward for female transgender athletes, as they should have a competitive advantage.
