Movements often confuse the ability to mobilize with the ability to rule. A state that governs by moods rules only until the next one arrives or crushes it.
But how did the French Revolution make this mistake? 🧵
To understand why, you have to look at what political order is. Its enduring legitimacy.
Revolutionaries often assume passion and popularity of ideals naturally equal political order.
This creates an unrealistic expectation. And ends up with them driven by shifting popular ideas.
What follows is maximalism. Where each faction pushes its principles to the edge to prove its legitimacy. Policy and the nation cease to be a matter of national interest.

🔍#LupaTeExplica | La posibilidad de una Asamblea Constituyente en Ecuador volvió al centro del debate y, con ella, también la desinformación.
🗣️ Se dice que podría instalarse con plenos poderes, aprobar la pena de muerte o eliminar derechos ya reconocidos como el matrimonio igualitario o el aborto por violación.
Lo cierto es que ninguna de estas afirmaciones es verdad. Entonces, ¿qué significa realmente una Constituyente, cómo se convoca y cuáles son los pasos que debe seguir?
🧵 Te explicamos datos y desinformación en este hilo ⬇️Revisa la explicativo completo aquí: lupa.com.ec/explicativos/a…
1⃣ ¿Qué es una Asamblea Constituyente?
🔹 Es un mecanismo democrático para redactar una nueva Constitución.
🔹 Busca cambios estructurales en el Estado, derechos de la ciudadanía y diseño institucional, más allá de simples reformas.
🔹 Puede convocarla el Ejecutivo, 2/3 de la Asamblea Nacional o 12% del padrón electoral (iniciativa ciudadana).
2️⃣ Pasos del proceso
El proceso comienza con la solicitud ante la Corte Constitucional, seguida de su revisión.
🗳️De ser aprobada, se realiza una consulta popular para que la ciudadanía decida si quiere o no realizarla.
🗳️Si el voto mayoritario es el “sí”, se eligen los constituyentes, se instala la Asamblea, se redacta el nuevo texto y finalmente se somete a 🗳️referendo para su aprobación.
Es decir, serían tres procesos electorales para definir una nueva Constituyente.
40k impressions and 1.1k likes? F*** it. I'll do an analysis of Eragon. One major caveat I want to get out of the way is that I'm aware of Paolini's extraordinarily young age when writing these books, and none of my critique is meant to reflect badly on the artist. /1
In fact, I would say assembling a fantasy series of this length and coherency is a downright achievement, regardless of anyone's gripes. Now that that's out of the way, the most interesting thing I find about the Eragon series is how derivative it is. /2
You can immediately see all the influences, and it's clear Paolini grew up a huge fan of a lot of fantasy classics. It's a work where an author has mastered all the basic fundamentals, but I'm always interested in what separates *tropes* from *originality* /3
The outrage over Kimmel’s canning is incredibly stupid, but it’s also enormously rich coming from the same media outlets who have cheered the government actually censoring people, particularly during COVID.
Let me know if you can spot the difference in tone? ⤵️
This @CNN headline made me think this story needed a thread.
Kimmel’s suspension is “straight from a European strongman’s playbook,” per @CNN’s @brianstelter.
When Biden cracked down on free speech during Covid, CNN hyped up the effort.
Few promoted the government’s actual attack on free speech more aggressively than the same @brianstelter now calling a comedian’s shelving evidence of autocracy, or something.
Researchers Found Unvaccinated Children Healthier Than Vaccinated, Didn’t Publish Findings
A Michigan study of 18,000 children found vaccinated kids were 2.5x more likely to suffer chronic illness.
The findings were so explosive, the researchers never published them.
Who decided the public wasn’t allowed to see this—and why now, after years in the shadows, is it finally coming to light?
🧵 THREAD
Researchers from a large health care system in Michigan found that vaccinated children were more likely to develop a chronic health condition, but never published the findings, according to a copy of the study obtained by The Epoch Times.
Henry Ford Health System, whose employees carried out the study, said it was deficient.
Dr. Marcus Zervos, an infectious disease specialist at the Henry Ford Health, and colleagues studied 18,468 children born between 2000 and 2016 who were enrolled in the health system’s insurance plan, drawing data from medical, clinical, and payer records and supplementing with information from Michigan’s immunization registry.

Free energy doesn’t have to be complicated… humans have done it for thousands of years before the grid.
Most of the complexity comes from the system itself…
permits, regulations, “certifications”…
all carefully designed to gatekeep what is actually simple and ancient.
This thread 🧵, provides the minimal resources needed to generate free energy for a home or small community, requiring no special expertise and easily shared knowledge.
It provides a full spectrum of free energy harvesting, using what nature provides and what the system throws away. These methods require minimal tools, rely on salvaged or natural materials, and break the illusion that energy must be bought or controlled.
Tree Battery: Step-by-Step
Purpose: Harvest small amounts of bioelectricity from a living tree to power LED lights or small devices.
Materials (Free or Salvaged)
- 1 healthy living tree
- 1 copper wire (1–2 feet long)
- 1 zinc-coated nail (or galvanized steel nail)
- 1 small LED light string or low-voltage device (like a garden light)
Optional: multimeter to measure voltage
Instructions:
1.Choose a Tree:
Select a healthy, well-rooted tree with good moisture content… maples, oaks, or fruit trees work well.
2.Insert Zinc Nail:
Hammer the zinc nail gently into the tree about 1–2 inches deep, at waist height.
3.Place Copper Wire:
Insert the copper wire into the tree a few inches away from the nail.
The zinc acts as the positive terminal, and the copper as the negative terminal.
4.Connect the Circuit:
- Attach a wire from the zinc nail (+) to the positive lead of your LED string or device.
- Attach a wire from the copper (-) to the negative lead.
5.Light It Up:
A single tree produces about 0.5–1 volt.
Chain multiple trees in series to increase voltage…
like batteries linked together.
Output Uses
- Power small LED garden lights.
- Run sensors or tiny electronics.
Saltwater Battery (Ultra Simple & Non-Toxic)
Best For: Beginners, teaching energy principles, low-power lighting.
Materials:
- Plastic or glass container (jar or bucket)
- Saltwater solution (salt + water)
- Copper strip or wire
- Zinc nail, galvanized nail, or scrap steel
- Wires to connect
Instructions:
1.Mix saltwater until fully dissolved. 2.Place the zinc nail on one side of the container. 3.Place the copper strip on the opposite side.
4.Attach wires to each and connect to a small LED or device.
5.For higher voltage, connect multiple jars in series (like linking AA batteries).
Output:
Enough to power LED lights, sensors, or trickle charge a small battery bank.
Yesterday, Rep. Cory Mills (@RepMillsPress) voted against censuring Ilhan Omar for suggesting Charlie Kirk was to blame for his own murder.
Rep. Mills must resign. He has a conflict of interest and cannot represent his constituents faithfully.
A thread.
Ilhan Omar is loathed by Republican voters, and her comments about Charlie were beyond the pale. This should have been straightforward.
But Rep. Mills claimed that First Amendment concerns guided his vote - and implied that Charlie himself would agree.
One doubts that this is Rep. Mills' actual rationale. For one, Nancy Mace claims that he threatened her over text last night. (Rep. Mace authored the censure resolution against Omar.) Hard to imagine he cares about Ilhan Omar *that much*. So what's really going on here?
Photoreceptors are useless without retinal, which is produced in the eye. When retinal is liberated oxygen becomes a toxin and Fe is a wrecking ball. phys.org/news/2018-08-c…
nnEMF activates VGCCs, flooding cells with Ca²⁺ and ROS/RNS, damaging mtDNA and heme proteins (cytochromes, CYP11A1, CYP19A1). Blue light liberates retinal, impairing melanopsin and dehydrating melanin, lowering éR and DDW production. This stalls StAR (STARD1)-mediated cholesterol import via TOM/TIMM/VDAC2, blocking pregnenolone synthesis.
Dehydrated melanin disrupts microtubule dynamics and protein synthesis, exacerbating "pregnenolone steal" toward cortisol, depleting sex steroids. The retina, as a "window to the brain," thins under suboptimal light causung blindness, degenerating brain tissue (e.g., frontotemporal dementia precursors). nnEMF/lack of sun alters AMO in skin/eye, changing central retinal pathways. Oxidative stress increases peroxide (ROS) levels, altering UPE signatures and heme construction, and is linked to hormone-related disorders by disordered UPE transformation in the CYP enzyme system.
In humans, iron is a double-edged sword, especially in the brain. It’s essential for energy production in mitochondria and for synthesizing neurotransmitters like dopamine, which governs movement and reward. Iron accumulates naturally in the brain as we age, particularly in regions like the basal ganglia, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra. These areas, rich in gray matter, hold two to four times more iron than white matter, where myelin insulates nerve fibers.
But when iron accumulates excessively, trouble brews. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Friedreich’s ataxia, iron overload in neurons triggers oxidative stress, resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage lipids, proteins, and DNA. This process, known as ferroptosis, is particularly devastating in the retina, where photoreceptors and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are particularly vulnerable.
These cells, which detect light to regulate our circadian rhythms, rely on iron-containing proteins and melanin, a pigment that chelates iron to protect against oxidative damage. When this balance falters, ferroptosis destroys neurons, disrupting circadian signaling and contributing to diseases such as Parkinson’s, where the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra is linked to iron overload and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Why does iron accumulate in sick or dying neurons? The answer echoes the stars. Just as a star amasses iron in its core as it runs out of energy, neurons hoard iron when their energy production falters, often due to mitochondrial dysfunction. In both cases, iron signals a system on the brink, teetering between stability and collapse.
2. 95% of melatonin is made from mitochondria. So what happens when mitochondria are damaged from blu elight toxicity? You get high blood glucose and insulin and flatlined cortisol.
What happens when you knock out melatonin receptors via melanopsin dysfunction from the liberation of Vitamin A? You get insulin resistance and set the stage for many mitochondrial diseases like diabetes and cancer.

El 17 de septiembre de 1861, tuvo lugar la Batalla de Pavón, sobre las orillas del arroyo Pavón al sur de la provincia de Santa Fe, en la cual las fuerzas de la provincia de Buenos Aires, junto a sus aliados liberales de las provincias, comandadas por el general Bartolomé Mitre, derrotaron a las fuerzas federales de la Confederación Argentina, que lideraba el general Justo José de Urquiza.
La derrota de la Confederación vino después que Urquiza se retirará del campo de batalla y dejará el campo abierto al ejército porteño, que se había retirado hacia San Nicolás de los Arroyos. Mitre decidió entonces consolidar su posición para marchar luego sobre Santa Fe. El 4 de octubre inició su avance sobre Rosario con 13.000 hombres y 42 piezas de artillería, ciudad que ocupó una semana después.
En 1859, nuevos conflictos entre la Confederación Argentina y el Estado de Buenos Aires llevaron a una nueva guerra civil, donde Urquiza, comandando los Ejércitos de la Confederación, venció a las fuerzas de Buenos Aires, comandadas por el coronel Bartolomé Mitre, en la batalla de Cepeda. Durante esos momentos, Urquiza hubiera podido entrado a Buenos Aires y tomar el poder, pero decidió acampar en las tierras del partido de San José de Flores y desde allí presionar al gobernador Valentín Alsina, que se negaba a negociar ninguna concesión y por ese motivo fue presionado por la Legislatura de Buenos Aires a renunciar a su cargo, siendo reemplazado por Felipe Llavallol.

Jimmy #Kimmel loog over de politieke signatuur van de moordenaar van Charlie #Kirk. Vervolgens werd Kimmels TV-show gecanceld. De reden is te zien in het eerste deel van een matig vertaald fragment in het #NOSJournaal. Na dat fragment liegt Arjen van der Horst over de reden. 1/9
Kimmels show werd gecanceld omdat hij beweerde dat de extreem-linkse moordenaar van Kirk een MAGA-Republikein is. Vandaar dan ook de dreiging van een rechtszaak vanwege desinformatie. Het cancellen was dus niet vanwege de "political points"-uitspraak (die vlak erna volgde). 2/9
Dit is dus de uitspraak die tot Kimmels cancelling heeft geleid. Kimmel beweert dat Kirks moordenaar "een van hen" is: van de "MAGA-bende". De ondertiteling maakt dat echter onvoldoende duidelijk. Journaal-kijkers worden al in dit deel van het item niet goed geïnformeerd. 3/9
1/25 The GraphCall Credit quality vs spread metric
Watching the consumer delinquencies rise is worrying but it is not per se at a very high record (although some adjustments in those calculations are coming and BNPL have data silo issues)....
Are the credit spreads reflecting that properly?
2/25
Those are the credit spreads
3/25
RATIONALE:
In other words if the consumer delinquencies are low but the credit spreads are low it sounds rather rational.
If the delinquencies are high but the credit spreads are ALSO high then there it also sounds rather rational
Durante 3 días hemos estado en Tenerife y Gran Canaria con reuniones y visitas. Más allá de la propaganda gubernamental (de todos, PSOE, PP y Coalición Canaria) y de la consabida pelea sobre quién pone la pasta para “gestionar” a los MENA’s, conclusiones en forma de 🧶breve ⬇️
1. El único fin de los “centros de primera llegada” (las Raíces o Canarias 50) es mantener un permanente flujo desde puntos de entrada en España hacia la Península. Llenar y vaciar camas
2. Es un chorreo de dinero público. Ni Ministerio ni CCAA son capaces de identificar el coste real. Expolio.
2. Las oenegés, ACCEM, Cruz Roja, Quórum 77 y las que sean, claro, tienen un evidente interés directo en mantener el flujo de entradas ilegales. Es su modo de vida. Muy lucrativo. 3. Y por supuesto, más negocio si son menores y aún más si piden asilo. 4. Pareciera q hasta que no piden asilo, no paran.
Desde a sua origem, o casamento era muito mais do que apenas uma escolha pessoal ou afetiva; acima de tudo ele representava um dos alicerces fundamentais na organização social, um contrato que, além de transcender os limites do indivíduo, exercia funções políticas, culturais e econômicas, e garantia a estabilidade e a sobrevivência de comunidades.
Segue o fio para entender 🧶
Com o surgimento de Estados complexos e religiões universais, como o cristianismo, o casamento deixou de ser apenas uma organização familiar e passou a ser regido por normas religiosas, reforçando seu papel como pilar central da vida em sociedade.
Com a modernidade, o casamento perdeu seu papel central como base da sociedade. Fatores como mudanças econômicas, maior igualdade de gênero e declínio da influência religiosa/laicização dos estados abriram espaço para novas formas de família, tornando o casamento uma escolha pessoal, não mais uma obrigação social.
The Russell is setting up for an imminent breakout to all-time highs
This is on the back of the Fed rate cut and is hurling the market toward an unsustainable melt-up
This will set the stage for larger risks
Here is the full playbook for navigating it: 🧵👇
We have been in a melt-up with the Russell for a while now because the curve is steepening as real rates are falling. In simple terms, nominal growth remains positive and liquidity is increasing.
When real rates are falling into positive growth, risk assets fuction as a release valve and capital moves out the risk curve
This is why we have seen a convergence of all these factors post FOMC which I noted in the video breakdown and connected playbooks here

Dopamine is what allows you to ascend from your ape form while simultaneously infusing your life with effortless wonder and magic. Existence itself becomes beautiful and every moment in time feels like a gift. Here are some of my favorite ways to increase dopamine…
Sunlight
Bright midday sun is irreplaceable for dopamine as UV light is involved in a number of dopaminergic adaptations. The sun is king but supplemental UV light during winter months can help provide a bit of a boost.
When your gut is bothered serotonin is secreted in response, somewhat of an antagonist to dopamine. Long term gut issues shift the brain away from dopamine and towards serotonin.
