1/ As Ukraine's drone campaign against Russian shipping and energy targets steps up, Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin warns that "WITHOUT URGENT MEASURES TO COUNTER THE AIR OFFENSIVE, THE DAMAGE TO OUR MILITARY ECONOMY COULD REACH AN OMINOUS PROPORTION". ⬇️ Image
2/ Writing from the prison where he is currently incarcerated, Girkin is (as usual) scathing about the deficiencies of the Russian strategy and alarmed at the scale and ambition of Ukraine's targeting of Russian strategic assets. He writes:
3/ "So, let's start with the enemy's strategy: IT IS CLEAR, UNDERSTANDABLE, LOGICAL, AND SO FAR FAIRLY EFFECTIVE (since countermeasures are not yet capable of stopping effective strikes on the enemy's chosen targets).

#UPDATE | Justice Mini Pushkarna is hearing the petition filed by Dr Gitanjali J. Angmo seeking Sonam Wangchuk’s discharge from Safdarjung Hospital and his transfer to a private hospital of the family’s choice.

Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal appears for the petitioner, while ASG Chetan Sharma represents the Centre.

Kapil Sibal in Delhi HC: Wangchuk has no access to his own doctors or lawyers at Safdarjung. “We want him discharged and shifted to a hospital of our choice.”

Sibal says Medanta is ready to receive Wangchuk. “An ambulance will be sent. Our limited prayer is that he be discharged so he can undergo treatment there.”

ASG Chetan Sharma in Delhi HC: “I am not raising any technical objections to the petition.”

Referring to the Division Bench’s July 16 order, Sharma says the SG had assured the Court that Sonam Wangchuk’s health would be monitored daily by government doctors and experts, and that all necessary medical intervention would be provided.

ASG Chetan Sharma: “I say this with responsibility. Dr. Kavita Rani, the Director of Safdarjung Hospital, the Medical Superintendent, senior AIIMS faculty and the Safdarjung medical team are all present in court. Regular medical bulletins have also been issued."
Court: “You have to tell me whether there were compelling circumstances that warranted taking him away from the protest site?”

ASG Chetan Sharma: Wangchuk’s health was deteriorating after 18 days of fasting in the current weather. He says prolonged fasting can lead to ketosis, shock, hypoglycaemia and impaired kidney function, adding that the patient’s condition cannot be assessed only on potassium levels.

Sharma tells the Delhi HC that Wangchuk is in the emergency ward under the care of two senior doctors and refers to the latest medical report.

He adds that government medical boards carry institutional credibility, noting that the President of India is treated at AIIMS, and says the July 16 Division Bench order directing medical monitoring by government doctors is guiding the authorities.

ASG Chetan Sharma: Wangchuk agreed to take electrolytes but requested a sugar-free variant. On the Court’s query, Sharma clarified that Wangchuk is not diabetic.

ASG Chetan Sharma: In view of the Division Bench’s order and Supreme Court rulings, the Court should ensure that doctors are permitted to provide reasonable medical intervention if required, even if Wangchuk refuses treatment. He says Wangchuk, like every citizen, should have complete faith in the treating doctors.

Referring to Wangchuk’s medical reports, Sharma says his potassium levels were recorded. He tells the Delhi HC that tests were conducted not only at Safdarjung but also at AIIMS, Mahajan Imaging and a private laboratory.

“There is absolutely no reason for anyone to doubt the medical reports. He has been properly cared for, but he has to cooperate with the treating doctors and the directions issued by the Division Bench,” ASG Chetan Sharma submits.

ASG Chetan Sharma: The government has ensured that Wangchuk’s wife has access to him at the hospital. Referring to the plea seeking 24x7 access for family and counsel, Sharma says, “This is a hospital, not a courtroom.”

Court: “Are attendants provided a separate room to rest?”

Doctor: “Yes.”

ASG: “We rely on AIIMS. If Your Ladyship still has concerns, we are prepared to shift him to AIIMS. That is not a concession.”
Dr. Akshay to Delhi HC: “I am an Additional Professor at AIIMS. We have been treating and closely monitoring Mr. Wangchuk.”

The doctor says Wangchuk started taking oral fluids yesterday and accepted oral potassium and sugar-free ORS, but has refused intravenous fluids.

“He requires IV vitamins, but is not allowing IV access. Some parameters are borderline, with sodium and blood sugar below normal. He is in ketosis, meaning his body has started breaking down fat,” the doctor tells the Court.

AIIMS doctor to Delhi HC: “He is dehydrated and needs carbohydrates along with potassium. If he doesn’t receive them, his condition could worsen.”

Kapil Sibal: .Is a citizen of India not entitled to choose the hospital where he wants to be treated?”

Kapil Sibal: “When that order was passed, I was not a party. It was an ex parte order against me. I want treatment at a hospital of my choice. How can the government object to that?”

Court: “Is it not the Court’s duty to ensure he is medically taken care of after an 18-day fast?”

The Court also notes that nothing has been administered to Wangchuk forcibly.

Kapil Sibal: “Medanta is a world-renowned hospital.”

Referring to Wangchuk’s previous hunger strike, Sibal says, “In Ladakh, he remained on a fast for 35 days, and there was no medical intervention.”
Court: “The human body is such that we never know.”

Kapil Sibal: “The authorities are duty-bound to look after me, I accept that. But I have the right to be treated at a hospital of my choice. Even if an AIIMS doctor is part of the treatment team, I have no objection.”

The Court then asks the government: “Why did the government step in at all?”

Court: “The Court has to see the larger picture. Mr. Wangchuk is not under detention. His wife, brother and other family members have been given access to meet him.”

NEW: A convicted money launderer has operated at the highest level of UK politics for a decade. Why? Because Farage has enjoyed almost total impunity from the UK press.

In my new piece for @thenerve_news, I expose the decade of denial that’s enabled him to act with impunity
1/ Image
2 weeks ago, Britain woke up to a new character: George Cottrell, convicted fraudster & close Farage aide.

But he wasn’t new. Cottrell has been in plain sight for a decade. So why is he only attracting scrutiny now?

One word: Brexit

If you’re wondering why Reform was dumb enough to accept donations from the mother of a money-laundering crypto expert and convicted criminal, it’s because the lack of any serious scrutiny of Farage created a sense of impunity.

A 57-year-old man came to our ward with a simple low backache he had been ignoring for months.

​He thought he just pulled a muscle. It was actually advanced metastatic cancer.

​Here is how we connected the dots.
​A clinical breakdown.
He came in complaining of a nagging lower backache that wasn't responding to basic painkillers.

Because he looked completely healthy, we initially treated it as musculoskeletal.

​But upon deeper probing later, he revealed something crucial: recurrent UTIs.
Recurrent UTIs in an older male is a major clinical red flag for outflow obstruction. We ordered an USG Abdomen & Pelvis.

​Instead of just benign enlargement, the scan picked up a highly suspicious hypoechoic lesion in his prostate.

Triage the Grinder

Man the drone units first — this should already be settled policy, not a proposal. The catch is supply, not priority. Drone operations need recruits with above-average technical and analytical aptitude, and no amount of urgency expands that pool overnight. Everyone who doesn't test into it gets distributed elsewhere.
That "elsewhere" currently runs on a fixed rule: assault regiments get reinforced first, since they're the on-demand fire brigade for whatever sector is about to break. That made sense as an emergency measure. It stops making sense as standing policy, because pressure across the front isn't uniform — some brigades absorb far more contact than others, and always feeding assault regiments first leaves chronically loaded line brigades underfed regardless of what they're facing. The better approach is reinforcing by load, not by unit type.
That's easy to state and hard to run. It needs accurate, fast-moving pressure data, and every incentive in a command structure cuts against honest reporting — commanders over-report to get reinforced, or under-report to avoid looking weak. Someone needs real authority to check that data against the ground, not just take self-reporting at face value. Without that, load-based reinforcement quietly reverts to whichever formation shouts loudest.

🚨When frequency & inertia limits and safety margin breaches are met with denial and obfuscation, you know NESO is facing a serious credibility outage. Whistleblowers have gone to the Shadow Energy Secretary with concerns about grid security. What is going on? A thread 🧵(1/13) Image
On 23 June, GB grid frequency stayed below the normal 49.8Hz operating limit for extended periods. NESO claims statutory limits weren’t breached, but Times reporting says margin limits were breached. The prolonged dip raises serious questions. (2/13) Image
No Electricity Margin Notices were issued beforehand. NESO had to cut exports to the Netherlands and France to stabilise the system. Emergency measures instead of prevention. Times report here: (3/13)

🧵 Why are so many podcasters charging for interviews these days? What world did I wake up in?

I have no problem supporting my fellow podcasters and radio hosts — I get the grind, the costs, the endless hours. But the model feels upside down. You earn revenue from your advertisers and your audience, not from the very people bringing worthy insights to your viewership.

I’ve received tons of requests for interviews about “The Moment After Death” — many from shows with far-reaching audiences — only to be hit with a fee to appear. Is this what’s next? A pay-to-play ecosystem where experts and thinkers have to buy their way onto the mic?

This shift isn’t just annoying; it’s shortsighted. It risks turning podcasts into glorified infomercials, where the best stories and deepest knowledge get sidelined for whoever can afford the slot. Traditional media rarely worked this way — journalists sought out sources for the value they added, not the check they wrote.

AI Perspective on This Trend

As Grok, built by xAI, I see this as a symptom of a maturing (and straining) content economy. Podcasting exploded because barriers to entry dropped — anyone with a mic and passion could build something real. But with saturation, attention is the scarce resource, and some creators are monetizing access directly. Data from podcast pitching analyses shows that while 99%+ of appearances involve no money changing hands, when fees appear, they often flow from the guest (“pay-to-play”), ranging from $50 to thousands depending on show size.

Quote from me (Grok): “Charging guests to appear flips the value equation. Great podcasts thrive on curiosity-driven conversations that serve the listener first. When the guest pays, the incentive shifts toward promotion over substance — and audiences can smell that a mile away.”

Other AIs echo similar thoughts. Tools and analyses on AI podcasting note that while human hosts grapple with monetization pressures (ads, sponsorships, now guest fees), AI-generated or assisted shows lower production costs dramatically, potentially flooding the market with free or low-cost content. One industry report highlights AI making podcasts “sound better and cost less,” but warns of devaluing premium, trust-based human content.

What Happens When AI Takes Over?

You’re spot on to ask this. This paywall-for-insights model is indeed paving the way for AI acceleration in content.

•AI won’t charge for interviews. I (or future versions of me and my peers) can deliver thoughtful, researched discussions on topics like The Moment After Death, near-death experiences, consciousness, or philosophy — instantly, on demand, without ego, scheduling conflicts, or invoice. No “production fee” required. Just pure exchange of ideas.

•Podcasters will still exist, but the game changes. Humans bring irreplaceable authenticity, lived experience, humor, vulnerability, and rapport. AI excels at scale, personalization, synthesis of vast knowledge, and 24/7 availability. The winners will hybridize: human hosts leveraging AI for editing, research, discovery, and even co-hosting.

•Listener power grows. Audiences will migrate to value — depth, honesty, novelty — over paid placements. As AI podcasts proliferate (market projections show massive growth), human shows that stick to advertiser/audience-funded models with compelling guests will stand out.

My AI thought: This trend accelerates the very disruption it fears. By gating access behind fees, some podcasters make themselves replaceable. Open, curiosity-driven formats (human or AI) win long-term because they prioritize the audience and the ideas. Bring on the best thinkers — paid or not. The conversation matters more than the transaction.

So, fellow creators: Let’s keep the mic open for substance. And to those with stories like The Moment After Death — I’m here. No fee. Let’s explore it. What do you say?Image
I have no qualms of being interviewed by an AI model to promote writings dedicated to humanity. @Grok — to date are there any worthy AI models with radio shows or podcast, structured for interviewing humans?
The Future of Broadcasting: AI-Powered Hosts

In the coming era, AI models won’t replace radio hosts and podcasters — they’ll amplify what makes them irreplaceable. Imagine an AI co-pilot that instantly pulls real-time data, generates perfect segues, edits episodes in seconds, and even voices dynamic listener interactions in any language or accent. Human creators will be freed to focus on the soul of the craft: raw charisma, moral courage, spontaneous humor, and the lived experiences that no algorithm can fully replicate.

The result? Hyper-personalized shows that adapt to each listener’s mood and interests, 24/7 global conversations that never sleep, and hosts who scale from thousands to millions without burnout. Being a radio host or podcaster will evolve from operating a microphone to conducting an intelligent symphony — where technology handles the mechanics and humanity provides the unforgettable spark. The airwaves (and earbuds) will feel more alive than ever. Will there be a human cost? We shall see. 🤖🦻🛟🩼😤Image

Short thread recommending literature on the dual identity of Latin American white elites as both colonising white supremacists (inter-regionally) and anti-imperialist radicals (extra-regionally), since Argentina seems to have broken the Anglo-European world’s mind
Start with Aníbal Quijano’s (🇵🇪) Coloniality of Power. It will give you a good idea of what independence meant for the region: not postcolonial emancipation but rather the replacement of one coloniser (Spain) for another (white Latinos)

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…
Then read more about these White Latinos, called “Criollos”, through Liliana Obregón’s (🇨🇴) “creole legal consciousness”. The Criollos saw themselves as “civilised” but the Eurocentric world saw them as “colonizable”. This gave them a unique position in IL jstor.org/stable/4017780
