Todas las carreteras del Reino Unido parten de un monumento a una Reina castellana nacida en Burgos y que además, fue madre del primer príncipe de Gales de la Historia... ¿Cómo es posible? te lo cuento en este mini hilo. Sigue +
Charing Cross en Londres. Este es el km. 0 de las carreteras británicas. En origen fue una de las 12 cruces que mandó construir su viudo en honor a los lugares donde se detuvo el cortejo fúnebre de Leonor. En cada parada del cortejo fúnebre ordenó que se erigiera una cruz. Se conservan 3, la más importante, reconstruida en el siglo XIX, es la de Charing Cross sigue +.
Pero empecemos por el principio. Leonor de Castilla, hija de Fernando III el santo, se casó en las Huelgas, en Burgos, con Eduardo I de Inglaterra en 1254. Se convirtió así en la primera castellana que fuera Reina de Inglaterra y Señora de Irlanda. Este Eduardo es el que es ridiculizado sin motivo en Braveheart. +
The most Heart-Breaking Photos in History ~ A Thread 🧵
(Open only if you have a strong Heart)
1. 1993 photo of a starving Sudanese child stalked by a vulture, taken by Kevin Carter. Carter won the 1994 Pulitzer for this image but died by suicide. In his suicide note, he wrote, "I am haunted by the vivid memories. of starving or wounded children..."
2. The body of 23-year-old bookkeeper Evelyn McHale rests peacefully atop a crumpled limousine minutes after she jumped to her death from the Empire State Building, 1947. The photo has been dubbed "the most beautiful suicide.”
Inside story of Target Adani (Thread)
We will expose entire ecosystem with all proofs
Yesterday US's Brooklyn office, eastern district New York court indicted Adani in bribery case
According to 54 pages charges, Adani bribed Indian govt officers for his investment in
1/21
Chhattisgarh, Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Odisha J&K projects in 2021-22 and for this he took $2 billion loan from US banks and International financial institutions so its cheating with US banks because he has to give undertaking that you wont be involved in unethical practices
So as per US court Adani bribed Indian govt officers in Indian states that means crime happened in India so it will be decided by Indian courts and there is no case against Adani in Indian court and even there is no evidence of any bribery
Then, he pulls up a pitcher full of dirt. And on his third cast, he drags up pottery and some glass.
It's a frustrating day.
On the day's last catch, the fisherman calls upon G-d to provide him with luck, and he casts his net.
Out it goes, and up comes... a copper jar! It's emblazoned with the Seal of Solomon (you know, basically a Star of David), and the fisherman is delighted because he can sell it.

Are you ready for a Trump tariff thread and what this means? This is going to be a bit of a technical one but I'll make it easy & fun & we'll go through literature & analysis.
We start with the basics. How does tariff work? First, as you know, the US is a big free trader. Still is despite tons of tariffs on China. So goods in the US generally are tariff free to import & hence proliferation of foreign goods in the US.
But that being said, it does impose tariffs & duties. Sometimes overtly targeting a specific product to protect domestic sector due to lobbying. Anti-dumping duties is an example. A country that is not a market economy is an easy target (China, Vietnam) as u can say those countries have subsidized excessive production & hence duties.
But comes Trump. He has been consistent since the 1980s about the US trade deficit which he has railed against in public interviews and what does he do.
He started a US-China trade-war on washing machine duties.
Before we talk about what has Trump 1.0 (=first term 2017 to 2020) & Biden (2020 to 2024) done in terms of tariffs, I want to talk about the practicality of WHO PAYS FOR TARIFFS.
The IMPORTERS pay for tariffs. By that, American importers pay for tariffs. So when an item say costs 100 goes to 125 because of a 25% tariffs, there are a few things that COMPANIES that import can do.
They can PASS ON that cost to CUSTOMERS (buyers of goods). They can ABSORB that cost. They can FIND A NEW SOURCE to import. Or the SELLER can make the item cost 80 or a 20% reduction of previous price to then when the seller pay 25% that is just 100 BUCKS of import costs so the SELLER ABSORBS this margin compression.
That 25% goes to the IRS as government revenue. Who pays for it? Well, it depends on who ABSORBS THAT COSTS of 25% but surely 25% tariffs happen.

The Second Episode in our Mughal Series:
Panipat 1526
The Conquest of Lodhi Delhi
In 1506, Babur decided to pay a visit to his relatives in Herat. For the first time in his life, he found himself feeling like an unsophisticated, mud-booted provincial. His cousins paid little attention to the unfashionable new arrival and seemed unimpressed by his new conquests.
Babur was thoroughly dazzled by the court of Husayn Baqara and the brilliant Persianate cultural world he had created around him “His was a wonderful age,” he wrote in his diary, looking back. “In it, Khurasan and Herat was full of learned and matchless men… In Herat a man can’t stretch his leg without touching a poet’s backside.” Babur toured the sights, visiting the shrine of the Gaza Gah and relished the beauty of a pavilion decorated with murals.

After a week of rumors, it's official: The Justice Dept is demanding Google "promptly" sell-off Chrome. That's the baseline to cure Google's search monopoly.
Here's the big kicker: If Google fails to comply, or if competition is not restored, Android must be sold off, too. /
The conditional approach to an Android divestiture is going to get a lot of attention. Here's how the Justice Dept slow walks it, citing United Shoe (1953):
If behavioral remedies are ineffective at restoring "workable competition," the court can fall back on full divestiture.
As expected, an end to Google's $20 billion+ annual payment to Apple, arguably the most important contract controlling the flow of information across the internet.
This alone is going to have a huge effect and may finally kick Apple to enter the market itself.
Guys, not every clean-looking, well-dressed woman is truly “clean” down there.
It’s easy to think she’s spotless just because she looks good on the outside.
I'll share with you some helful tips to keep your Arsenal healthy.
A short thread for MEN ONLY 🧵
1. Don't let your Eyes Deceive you!
It’s easy to think she’s spotless just because she looks good on the outside. But, as they say, "not all that glitters is gold."
Don’t be too quick to jump into things; instead, take time to observe certain signs. Your health is on the line too, so trust your instincts, keep your eyes and noses active open, and pay attention to these signs.
Please stay with me to the very end..
2. Don’t Let Her Insist on “Lights Off”
If she insists on having the lights off, or a complete blanket over her, especially the first time, it might be a way of hiding something.
Even if she says she’s shy, politely keep the lights on.
Bro, you need to see where you’re going. "A hunter doesn’t go into the dark without a torch."
It’s best to have clear vision so you can spot anything unusual. Yes!!
Sometimes, a lady will insist on the lights off not because they are really shy.

Bam. There is it. US Department of Justice has filed - requesting divestiture of Chrome as a remedy for court's finding against Google. Android at risk, too. /1
As it relates to Android, here is how DOJ puts it. Forced divestiture is option that "swiftly, efficiently, and decisively strikes at the locus of some anticompetitive conduct at issue here" but we're ok with tight behavioral remedies with option to divest if they don't work. /2
Revenue sharing for search default and/or preferential treatment - dead. Google's tens of billions to Apple - dead (last I saw it's about 15% of Apple's profits). Reminder, this all needs to be argued and approved by Court and then will get appealed. Still far off. /3
In 2025, 3 talents that have the potential to be the sport's biggest superstars for the next decade will be joining Chelsea.
Estevao Willian, Kendry Paez, and Aaron Anselmino.
— An analysis on each player. Strengths, weaknesses.
— Their best role in Maresca's system. Maximising said strengths, minimising weaknesses.
— Future development plans.
THREAD
2025 will be a terrifying year for the league.
Guardiola's potentially last season, Phase 3 Postecoglou, and the most terrifying of them all?
Maresca's Chelsea with 3 generational talents in the midst.
Can you imagine if Chelsea do go all the way this season, and compete for the title until the very end - how TERRIFYING Phase 2 Maresca would be?
Making an already strong squad with versatile profiles even stronger.
And the most important thing is none of these players are "luxury", they are either signings in the areas Chelsea desperately need, or at the very least unique profiles that Chelsea appreciate.
That is what makes them especially terrifying. This is not like Real Madrid signing Mbappe.
This is like if Manchester City had signed Mohamed Salah after winning the treble.
— Estevao provides Chelsea an immense player in their weakest 2 attacking areas (RW/Right 8).
— Paez provides the same.
— Anselmino also addresses Chelsea's weakest area, centre back depth.
1/ Will the enforcers who trampled our rights in 2020 ever face consequences?
Today, the NC legislature nearly unanimously voted to promote one of the police chiefs behind the shutdown of the 1st Reopen NC event and arrest of a citizen for "non-essential" protesting
🧵🧵🧵
2/ Bodycam video and court documents show then-Chief of the State Capitol Police R. E. "Chip" Hawley played a major role in the repression of the protest
Two weeks after Gov. Cooper unilaterally issued a stay-at-home order telling us not to leave our homes except for "essential activities", demonstrators (including myself) gathered in a parking lot near his mansion to protest
Como cierre de la encuesta, primero repasar el desempeño en octubre. Fueron siete encuestas con la CR siempre superando al FA, por un promedio de 3,5% (CR 48%, FA 44,5%). La diferencia final fue de 3,2% ((CR 48,1%, FA 43,9%), en ambos casos diferencias menores a 1%.
La encuesta fue online, por avisos en facebook e instagram donde los encuestados podían contestar un cuestionario. Los avisos se segmentaron por edad y área geográfica, y luego para balancear la muestra se procedió a la postestratificación o "raking" rastrillaje, siguiendo las recomendaciones de ANES (American National Election Studies), por edad, sexo, departamento, localidad/barrio o zona rural, y voto en 2019 ó 2024.
Las mediciones de balotaje en octubre, al tiempo que daban a la CR superando al FA por 3,5% daban a Orsi duperando a Delgado por un promedio de 2,4%. Solo una encuesta dio a Delgado superando a Orsi por un 1%, en una encuesta que la CR marco 5% de iferencia con el FA. Luego de octubre la diferencia fue de 3,2%, o sea practicament lo mismo teniendo en cuenta que furon bajando los indecisos.
Cuando se analiza en conjunto e incluyendo todos los casos rcolectados, la diferencia a favor de Orsi aparece del orden 2,5%.
Naag Mani, or the serpent gem, is a mystical object deeply rooted in Ancient texts. Said to radiate divine light, it symbolizes immense power and wisdom.
Legends say Naag Mani forms in the heads of certain cobras. It's believed these serpents, often associated with Shri Mahadev and Shri Vishnu, guard this gem fiercely. But is it a gem of earthly riches or spiritual enlightenment?
It's said that Naag Mani emits a luminous glow, capable of lighting up entire spaces. This glow represents purity, knowledge, and divine energy. Naag Mani often symbolizes the power of the kundalini, the serpent energy within us.

Dr. Casey Means just revealed RFK Jr.’s 3-part plan to REVERSE the chronic disease crisis in *2 YEARS*
With RFK’s plan, she said, we will “show up for the 250th Birthday of America STRONGER than EVER” in 2026
Find out RFK’s 2-year / 3-part plan to save American health:🧵
1. “We need to get the conflicts of interest OUT of the health agencies. This is step one.”
“There are just unbelievable conflicts of interests in the FDA, the CDC, the NIH. We’ve got to get those conflicts of interests out so it’s clean.”
The revolving door between corporate powers like Big Pharma and the federal agencies that are meant to regulate them is poison to our health, our faith in each other, and the integrity of our Republic.
The 3-layered planetary systems and the 14 worlds described in Bhagavata Purana which is 8th puran of Hinduism
(Open the #thread 🧵 to get amazed by universal truth)
🔹 The fourteen worlds -lokas- or spheres
🔹 The 14 planetary systems are named as follows, from highest to lowest
🔹 The seven lower planetary system
🔹 Description of the upper, heavenly realms
🔹 Naraka - 28 Hells
🔹Loka-traya - the 3 planetary systems
There are three planetary systems, namely the lower worlds, the intermediate worlds and the
upper worlds. The human beings on earth are situated at the beginning of the intermediate worlds, but living beings like Brahmā and his contemporaries live in the upper worlds, of which the topmost is Satyaloka. In Satyaloka the inhabitants are fully cognizant of Vedic wisdom, and thus the mystic cloud of material energy is cleared. As stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, there are three divisions of material spheres in this universe, namely the ūrdhva-loka (topmost planets), madhya-loka (midway planets) and adho-
loka (downward planets). Beyond the ūrdhva-loka planets, that is to say above the Brahmaloka,
are the material coverings of the universes, and above that is the spiritual sky, which is unlimited
in expansion, containing unlimited self-illuminated Vaikuṇṭha planets inhabited by God Himself along with His associates, who are all eternally liberated living entities.
Ūrdhvaloka (ऊध्वर्लोक).—The “upper world” or ūrdhvaloka is above mount Meru. The celestial world, the realms of the gods or heavens, the svarga-lokas - heavenly planets.
Madhya-loka – the middle planetary system, world of mortals, the realms of the humans, animals and plants.
Adhaloka (अधलोक).—The adha-loka (Adholoka) is the lower world, the subterranean heavens, Bila-Swarga, the realms of beings other than humans, like Daityas, Dānavas and Nāgas etc.
🔹The 3-layered planetary systems and the 14 worlds
According to the purāṇas this universe is called loka-traya- the three lokas (Bhūrloka, Bhuvarloka and Svarloka), or three spheres (or worlds) consisting of 14 planetary systems. In the material
world, the planetary systems are arranged in three spheres, called triloka, or Svarga, Martya and Pātāla.
The three worlds are the upper, lower and middle intermediate planets of the universe. The human beings on earth are situated at the beginning of the intermediate worlds, but living beings
like Brahmā and his contemporaries live in the upper worlds, of which the topmost is Satyaloka.
When we speak of loka-traya, we refer to the three primary planetary systems
Bhūḥ, Bhuvaḥ and Svaḥ—into which the universe is divided. Surrounding these planetary systems are the eight directions, namely east, west, north, south, northeast, southeast, northwest
and southwest. Lokāloka Mountain has been established as the outer boundary of all the lokas to
distribute the rays of the sun and other luminaries equally throughout the universe. bhagwan Brahmā is the creator of the three worlds, namely the lower planets, called the Pātālalokas,
the middle planets, called the Bhūrlokas, and the upper planets, called the Svarlokas. Still higher
planets, such as Maharloka, Tapoloka, Satyaloka and Brahmaloka. The upper three planetary systems are called sāttvika planets because they provide facilities for a long duration of life and
relative freedom from disease and old age, as well as a sense of fearlessness. The great sages and saints are promoted beyond the heavenly planets to Maharloka. In the creation, during Brahmā's day, the three planetary systems—Svarga, Martya and Pātāla—revolve, and the inhabitants,
including the lower animals, human beings, demigods and Pitās, appear and disappear in terms of their fruitive activities. The cosmic manifestation is grossly divided into three worlds, the upper, lower and middle planetary systems, and then it broadens into the cosmos of fourteen planetary systems. There are fourteen divisions, Caturdaśa-bhuvana. There are seven down and seven up. We are in the middle. This is called Bhūrloka. Above this, there is Bhuvarloka. Above that, there is Janaloka. Above that, there is Maharloka. Above that, there is Satyaloka. Above that, there is Brahmaloka, the highest planetary system. Similarly, down also, we have got Tala, Atala, Talātala, Vitala, Pātāla,
Rasātala. This information we get from Vedic literature, fourteen worlds. Each and every universe is consisting of these fourteen planetary systems, and there are innumerable universes.
I picked up a PCMCIA 6 in 1 Multi Card Adapter at our retro meetup on Sunday. I always thought it would be neat to have one, but never got around to having one until now. I don't have it working yet, but I think I know why! Let's explore it in a 🧵 here!
First of all, here is a close up of the front and back. Apparently this adapter will work with SD, MMC, SM, MS, MS Pro, and xD cards. I'll plan to use it with an SD card, more on that in a minute.
I wanted to learn more about this adapter, so I started googling. And I found that these are EVERYWHERE. I was curious: why would PCMCIA adapters like this be so common in the year 2024? Well, there's actually a really good explanation for this!
