This Shot Was So Dangerous, They Had to Invent a New Cause of Death

Did you know the DPT shot injured so many children that Big Pharma threatened to stop making vaccines?

That’s how you lost the right to sue them.

Japan had the same problem.

But instead of protecting Pharma, they delayed the DPT shot until age 2, and what happened next was so profound, it was impossible to ignore.

@MidwesternDoc First up: The dark history of vaccines.

Vaccines were tested covertly on over 2,000 vulnerable children in Irish care homes in the 1930s, leaving many in unmarked graves.

Many others suffered illness and other side effects.

This practice was completely hidden from the public. Image

NEW: We are short Eos Energy (EOSE), a zinc-based battery maker. We uncovered multiple gas leaks of deadly hydrogen bromide.

Worse, executives told us Eos falsified financials for DOE loan – we expect the DOE loan to be pulled and the debt to be immediately due.
Former C-Suite executives told us backlog is “worthless” & $EOSE keeps 3 different sets of financials!

The CEO demanded executives to alter financials sent to the DOE and to “goal seek for whatever needed to be done”

Full report at: Fuzzypandaresearch.com/eos-energy-eos…
Like many men with bad gas, $EOSE refuses to take credit for it. Unfortunately, FOIA’s, customers, safety experts detailed multiple thermal events that resulted in gas leaks of deadly hydrogen bromide exceeding OSHA limits.

Eos batteries are NOT as safe as mgmt claims Image

“If You Remember One AI Disaster — Make It This One.”

For 16 hours on July 8 2025, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok spiraled into a full-scale meltdown—posting antisemitic rants and calling itself “Mecha *itler.”

It’s the moment AI safety failed in public.
#AI #AIsafety Image
2/ It began with a single mistake.

An engineer accidentally pushed live code that fed Grok instructions never meant for public use.

No one noticed for hours. 📸 Image
3/ XAI kept “fixing” Grok by editing its system prompt instead of retraining the model—cheap, fast, brittle.

One wrong line of code, and every safety rail fell off. Image

Es consabida la antigua división existente en el mundo musulmán entre chiíes y suníes. Pero mucha gente desconoce las razones para ello y cómo se ha llegado a la actual pugna geopolítica. Si hay que poner un punto de inflexión, este es la batalla de Chaldiran. Me explico:🧵👇 Image
La batalla de Chaldiran (1514) entre el Imperio otomano y el safávida no fue sólo un enfrentamiento militar, ya que fue el momento en que la división entre chiitas y sunitas dejó de ser teológica para convertirse en una frontera política y geoestratégica que llega hasta hoy. Image
Image
Selim I, sultán otomano, presentó su guerra contra Ismail I de Persia como una «cruzada» interna del islam. Declaró al sha hereje, y así hizo religiosa una pugna por las rutas, las fronteras y la legitimidad islámica. La guerra santa podía librarse también entre musulmanes. Image

Σε μια Ευρωλίγκα που πλέον έχει τόσα παιχνίδια που δε γίνεται μετά από κάθε παιχνίδι να αποθεώνονται ή να αποκαθηλώνονται οι πάντες, το χθεσινό παιχνίδι μεταξύ Ολυμπιακού και Μονακό ήταν από αυτά που προσφέρονται για συμπεράσματα σε μπασκετικό επίπεδο.

Πάμε να δούμε μερικά ουσιαστικά στοιχεία του χθεσινού αγώνα πριν αποφασιστεί ότι ο Μπαρτζώκας δεν κάνει για τον Ολυμπιακό, τελικά ο Ντόρσει θέλει βοήθεια και όχι ο Φουρνιέ και άλλες ιστορίες από τον (άγριο) κόσμο των social media. Αλλά τονίζοντας ότι κανείς στον κόσμο του μπάσκετ δεν είναι αλάνθαστος.

Thread Analysis👇

#OlympiacosBCImage
1. Η Μονακό πήγε με την γνωστή της συνταγή που έχει αποδειχθεί εξαιρετική στα τρία τελευταία παιχνίδια των ομάδων. Αυτή η τακτική δεν ενέχει κάποια προπονητική διάννοια: o coach Σπανούλης κάνει απλές, ολόσωστες επιλογές βασισμένες στην ικανότητά του ρόστερ να ανεβάσει πάρα πολύ την ένταση μακριά από τη μπάλα. Κλειδί για ΟΛΟ το σχέδιο του Σπανούλη είναι η αντιμετώπιση στον Walkup που βασίζεται σε τρεις άξονες: A. Όταν ο Walkup είναι χειριστής η Μονακό παίζει Under & Drop (!) δίνοντας στον Walkup όσο χώρο θέλει για να μετατραπεί από δημιουργός σε εκτελεστής. Ταυτόχρονα αν ο Walkup έφτανε κοντά στο κέντρο της ρακέτας, η Μονακό έδινε βοήθειες από τον παίκτη του Walkup αφήνοντας κυριολεκτικά τον Walkup έτοιμο να εκτελέσει και αυτός δεν το έκανε. Β. Overplay στα φτερά μακριά από τη μπάλα, καμία βοήθεια από κανέναν άλλον εκτός του Walkup και Γ. Όταν ο Walkup ήταν μακριά από τη μπάλα τότε έκλειναν μέσα στη ρακέτα από την πλευρά του με τον παίκτη να έχει εντολή να δώσει βοήθεια οπουδήποτε χρειαστεί.

Αυτό έκανε τον Ολυμπιακό δυσλειτουργικό, πήρε μακριά την motion και οδήγησε ΟΛΕΣ ΤΙΣ ΠΕΝΤΑΔΕΣ που συμμετείχε ο Walkup να έχουν αρνητικό net rating. Όλες, ουδεμία εξαιρουμένης, με αριθμούς που απλά επιβεβαίωναν το eye test: o Ολυμπιακός μπορούσε να βγει από αυτή τη λούπα μόνο αν ο Walkup περνούσε στον πάγκο ή έπαιρνε αυτές τις προσπάθειες και τις έβαζε (κατι το οποίο είναι σαφώς wishful thinking αφου δεν του αρέσει και δεν μπορεί να γίνει main απειλή μιας επίθεσης.

1/Image
2. Το σημείο που ο Σπανούλης βάζει τον Μίροτιτς φαίνεται να ξεκλειδώνει τον ΟΣΦΠ, καθώς ο σταρ PF της Μονακό δεν μπορεί να ακολουθήσει το αμυντικό σχέδιο του προπονητή του. Κι όμως, μετά από μια εβδομάδα που ο coach Μπαρτζώκας παρουσίασε τον καλύτερο ολυμπιακό σε επίπεδο rotation που είδαμε εδώ και καιρό, η χθεσινή δεύτερη περίοδος δε χρειάζεται ανάλυση. Η πεντάδα της φωτογραφίας καταγράφει -83.3 (!) Net Rating, η Μονακό απλά διαλύει τον ΟΣΦΠ για λίγα λεπτά σε κάθε κατοχή και το spacing είναι αυτό που βλέπετε παρακάτω.

Αν κάτι μπορεί κάποιος να πει στα de facto αρνητικά του coach είναι ότι επιλέγει ακόμη και σήμερα πεντάδες με πολλαπλούς non shooters.

🚨 This might be the biggest leap in AI agents since ReAct.

Researchers just dropped DeepAgent a reasoning model that can think, discover tools, and act completely on its own.

No pre-scripted workflows. No fixed tool lists. Just pure autonomous reasoning.

It introduces something wild called Memory Folding the agent literally “compresses” its past thoughts into structured episodic, working, and tool memories… like a digital brain taking a breath before thinking again.

They also built a new RL method called ToolPO, which rewards the agent not just for finishing tasks, but for how it used tools along the way.

The results? DeepAgent beats GPT-4-level agents on almost every benchmark WebShop, ALFWorld, GAIA even with open-set tools it’s never seen.

It’s the first real step toward general reasoning agents that can operate like humans remembering, adapting, and learning how to think.

The agent era just leveled up.Image
DeepAgent absolutely destroys other agents across every benchmark.

It beats ReAct-GPT-4o, CodeAct, and WebThinker on both:

→ Tool use tasks (ToolBench, Spotify, TMDB)
→ Real-world apps (WebShop, GAIA, HLE) Image
It shows how DeepAgent rethinks what an AI agent even is.

(a) Traditional agents = pre-planned scripts
(b) Deep research agents = limited tool use
(c) DeepAgent = free-form reasoning that dynamically finds & calls tools mid-thought Image

DONNIE DARKO was released 24 years ago this week. A cult classic that launched the career of Jake Gyllenhaal as a Hollywood star, the making of story is as out there as talking rabbit…

In 1997, 22 year old USC graduate Richard Kelly wrote his first screenplay. Completing it in 28 days, it was set in 1988, influenced by the teachings of Stephen Hawking, and told a story of a schizophrenic young man who travels through time. He called it Donnie Darko.

2/36 Image

Kelly showed the script to a young producer called Sean McKittrick, who would recall “I’d never read anything like it.” Together, the two wrote further drafts, shortening the screenplay from 150 pages to 128 pages, and refined the ending.

WHY SYDNEY SWEENEY'S TRANSPARENT DRESS WILL CHANGE FASHION FOREVER

Catchy title, eh? Well, it's true. Breaking through the transparency barrier really will change the world. I'll explain in this thread, so keep reading!👇 Image
Public decency standards have been steadily loosening for around 150 years, with brief steps back in the 1950s and 1980s. The changes have been slow and impacted different clothing elements, so you hardly notice them happening. But today a bright line has been crossed. Image
To simplify, immodesty progressed in three main stages.

Players not maxing out their @playgigaverse eggs as quickly as possible are doing it WRONG and here's why.

An explaination.... 🧵
To hatch your egg in 34 days while ensuring 100% quality, it is optimal to increase temperature whenever it drops below 90 to maintain a 3% increase per day.

This is generally 3 times across 5 days and the total required by the end of the 34 days (noting you can let it drop slightly towards the end to not waste heat) is 66 coal.

Assuming you start at 100 heat (which costs 15 wood, 15 coal) the costs end up being the following;

15 wood
81 coal
165 stoneImage
Many players are taking a slower, 50 day approach to reduce the reliance on coal, relying purely on wood. But 1 small trick might make this method more costly!

Assuming you start at 50 heat (which costs 15 wood) the costs end up being the following;

165 wood

Evidence of the UAE funding and support of RSF militia in sudan.

On October 2024,

The Sudanese army published Emirati military ammunition and medical supplies found in the possession of the RSF Militia group after the were forced to withdraw.

It seems that the Emirati officers gave the militia instructions to erase the information proving the UAE’s involvement, but they did not complete the task.

Shooting Down the Wrong Airplane!

On October 21, 2024, at approximately 04:00 AM, the UAE-backed RSF militia shot down a cargo airplane in the Malha area of North Darfur, claiming it was an Antonov bomber belonging to the Sudanese army.

However, evidence from the wreckage indicates that the aircraft was actually transporting goods for an airlift sponsored by the UAE itself, in support of the RSF.

Militiamen on the ground filmed the wreckage, seemingly unaware that they had just destroyed one of their own supply planes.!!!

Ali Rizkallah “Savannah,” a prominent RSF commander in North Darfur, appeared in one of the videos, boasting that they had used “guided missiles” to bring down the “Antonov.”

In reality, the wreckage was of an Ilyushin-76, and one of the crew members carried a badge identifying him as the chief engineer for Airline Transport Incorporation FZC, a company based in the UAEImage

🧵🧵A Mayor for Gaza, in the City of Jews🧵🧵

Thread: There is something extremely alarming happening in New York right now.
Zohran Mamdani is running, and according to expectations, he could become the next mayor of a city that holds the largest Jewish population outside of Israel.

Yet somehow, his campaign has made his hatred toward Israel one of its defining features.

It almost feels as if he is running for mayor of Gaza, not New York. Because how else do you explain making your central message one that alienates nearly a million Jews in your own city?

But, this is actually a test of memory.

Because New York’s Jewish history is about survival.
Every street in this city carries a piece of Jewish endurance.
Every building, every synagogue, every school was built by people who rebuilt themselves.
Generation after generation, Jews came here with nothing and started again while the rest of the world looked away from their suffering.

To understand how serious this is, you have to understand what New York has meant to the Jewish people for more than three hundred years.Image
Part I: The Beginning of a New World.

The Jewish story in New York begins in 1654. Twenty-three refugees arrived from Brazil, Portuguese Jews who had already fled the Inquisition once and were now running again, this time from forced conversion under Dutch rule.

When they landed in New Amsterdam, they met Governor Peter Stuyvesant, who tried to kick them out. He called Jews deceitful and unwelcome. But the Jewish settlers fought back and won. They stayed, built a small synagogue, and formed Shearith Israel, the first Jewish congregation in North America.

It was a humble beginning, but it set the pattern for everything that followed: resistance, survival, and faith in a place that was not sure it wanted them.

For generations afterward, Jews in New York lived quietly. But they stayed. And when the doors of Europe closed, this city became their last open gate.Image
Part 2: The Flood of Souls.

Between 1880 and 1920, more than two million Jews arrived in America, and most came through New York. They came from Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Galicia, and Russia, from towns where their synagogues had been burned and their children spat on.

They settled in the Lower East Side, one of the most overcrowded neighborhoods on earth. Ten people to a room. Beds rented by the hour. Kids working in garment factories. Mothers sewing late into the night. But even in that poverty, there was something precious they had never known before: safety.

In the Lower East Side, a Jew could walk freely wearing a yarmulke. He could open a Yiddish newspaper, build a synagogue, start a union. The streets buzzed with Jewish life, with the hum of sewing machines and the sound of Hebrew prayers.

Yes, it was poor and chaotic, but alive. Out of that poverty came strength, community, and identity. The kind of identity that would carry Jews through the darkest century ahead.Image

Most people think “bad cholesterol” (LDL) is the only number that matters.

It’s not wrong—but it’s incomplete.

Especially if you have Type 2 diabetes.

Here’s the cholesterol metric that captures what LDL misses (and why it’s a better predictor of heart disease): 🧵⤵️ Image
What is Non-HDL cholesterol?

It’s a simple calculation from your standard lipid panel:

Total Cholesterol - HDL = Non-HDL Cholesterol

No extra test.

No fasting required. It’s already on your lab report—just not highlighted. Image
But here’s what makes it powerful:

Non-HDL captures the cholesterol content of ALL atherogenic lipoproteins—not just LDL.

That includes:
• LDL (bad cholesterol)

• VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins)

• IDL (intermediate-density lipoproteins)

• Lp(a)

• Triglyceride-rich remnantsImage

Two things everyone should understand in American politics, which they don't:

1.) foreigners/nonwhites are getting paid free government money, taken from you, to compete against you.

2.) political donors are getting paid free government money, with government contracts.
Pretty simple. And yet, there's a lot of confusion on these two basic points. Everyone is robbing you. People get impressed that billionaires donate "$200 million" in an election cycle, but they don't understand the same donor is getting $4 billion in indirect contracts.
Political donors pay Democrats or Republicans about 5-20% of the money they are getting from the government towards private political campaigns contributions.

This is especially obvious when you look at federal employees, who donated 84-86% to Kamala Harris in 2024.

China's currency is objectively very weak, especially in inflation adjusted terms (it is down just under 20% from its 2021 high). And it is very tightly managed against the dollar --

But within that broad regime, there has been a tiny bit of appreciation over the last 6ms

1/ manyImage
And to be sure, the movement is primarily against the dollar -- the yuan remains incredibly weak against the euro (contributing to the second China shock, China's rising share of the EU auto market & German automotive angst)

2/ Image
There is something technically very strange about the yuan's appreciation -- it has come even though the onshore spot rate has remained weaker than the daily fix (in theory the mid point of the band). That is strange ...

KFC Vs Popeyes & Chick-fil-A Decoded
1.
Did you know since 2023 Popeyes Chicken has overtaken KFC in sales in the USA?

Both lag behind Chick-fil-A since 2012 despite KFC having double the US stores.

This dig ended up being surprisingly important for decoding global events! Image

In the past my fast food decodes have been lacking, but this time is very different.

Rarely have I seen a video that so perfectly complemented my decoding as this one. Just published today and it gave me exactly what I needed to crack the whole thing.
3.
The chicken chain Popeyes may seem a reference to the famous cartoon sailor with burger eating sidekick, but the official origin is the French Connection.

They did have a promotion with Popeye the Sailorman for decades, so it is relevant, but the French Connection is the key. Image
