Since I actually happen to be from Transylvania, seeing so many people call Stephen Miller a vampire made me want to take a closer look at the life of this man suspiciously passionate racial purity who has so far spent nearly every waking moment of his life hating immigrants.🧵
Having went bold and aged some 37 years in between the ages of 15 and 17 and already an avid reader of "Guns&Ammo" magazine by the age of 12, Miller would eventually let his only friend know they can't see each other anymore on grounds of him being the wrong shade of white.
Failing in his bid for Student Government, having run on a platform that argued students should not have to pick up trash because, in his view, that was the God given role of Black and Latino janitors, Miller began incessantly calling into local neo-Nazi radio shows.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce an American billionaire, real estate developer, and wannabe diplomat, Steve Witkoff. He’s best known for trying to sell Ukraine to Putin and for helping Trump sell this treason and encouragement of genocidal war as “peace”.
1/20
Steve studied law and political science at Hofstra University in New York. After law school, he worked as a real estate attorney, which led him into property acquisitions and development. He first met Trump in the 1980s when Trump was a client of his real estate law firm.

In 1997, Witkoff founded the Witkoff Group, a New York–based real estate development and investment firm. The firm has owned and developed dozens of properties in New York and other major US cities, making Witkoff quite wealthy, with some interesting business connections.
If we must go about assigning a silly label like "green superpower" (which IMO is really just vanity contest clickbait pretending to be analysis) then it's too narrow to define "green superpower" by what percentage of a country's power comes from renewables. This is immediately obvious when we look at the list of countries that lead the world in % of power from renewable energy today - see any superpowers in there? It's lovely to be blessed with abundant hydropower or geothermal resources, but that hardly drives global change.
China, at around 36% renewables (and rising of course) both installs more than the rest of the world combined, and exports the technology to green the power sectors of developing nations globally. If we must have this conversation, then it should acknowledge absolute volume and international impact, where China is clearly dominant...
2. Erroneous Analysis and Data
OP's post says "Two-thirds of electricity in China is from thermal plants...that's coal".
This is incorrect on several accounts. First, "thermal" in the monthly NBS pressers includes coal, gas, and renewables like biomass. Coal is the lion's share, but no, it's not ALL coal. So that's already a problem.
Next, the NBS monthly datasets do not report full power generation (全口径) across the whole economy, only generators "at-scale" (规模以上) which excludes small wind and solar (like rooftop solar, which is half the solar). Thus, it's impossible to calculate from this data series what percentage of power generation is coal without many assumptions. You must estimate, or wait for the quarterly data dumps or the annual statistics yearbook.
I'm not the first person to point this issue out. But OP has either ignored or dismissed everyone else who's pointed it out so far, so it must be repeated. His conduct on this point so far is a poor reflection on his integrity.
In the 2024 annual statistic yearbook published by China Electricity Council (CEC), coal comprised 54.8% of generation at the end of 2024, with gas-fired power adding another 2.6%. These numbers have been falling steadily for a decade and will fall again this year. So...the numbers don't lie, unless you're looking at the wrong numbers. 🧐
This is LITERALLY the reason why the market moves the way it does.
If you dont know what and where liquidity is, you are the liquidity.
Read till the end of this thread to learn how to avoid getting stop hunted and instead trade like Smart Money
A thread🧵
First, You Must Understand What Liquidity Is…
Simply put, liquidity is created by all the buy and sell orders in the market.
Every single market participant places orders, and together, creates liquidity.
For any trade to happen, there must be a buyer for every seller, and a seller for every buyer.
Not All Markets Have Good Liquidity
Markets that are smooth, with lots of traders and clear price action typically means that it has high liquidity. An example of this is major Forex pairs like EUR/USD and stock indices like ES & NQ.
Opposite to this is low liquidity wherein the markets that are choppy, with sudden jumps and gaps because only a few people are trading them. Think of exotic Forex pairs like USD/MXN or tiny penny stocks.
You want to focus on high liquidity markets because this avoids massive spreads, manipulation, and slippage. Simply put: BAD PRICE ACTION.

Missiles:
■ 6/10 Iskander-M/Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal" ballistic/aeroballistic missiles (launch areas – Ryazan, Bryansk regions – RF)
■ 4/7 Iskander-K/Kalibr cruise missiles (launch areas – Rostov region, Black Sea waters)
■ 19/21 Kh-101 cruise missiles (launch areas – Vologda region airspace – RF)
■ 0/2 Kh-22 cruise missiles from the airspace over the Black Sea.
#Shahed-type & attack UAV:
■ 519 (Kursk, Oryol, Millerovo, Shatalovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Hvardiiske)
■ 474 downed & lost [EW, decoy, malfunction] reported by UA🇺🇦
■ 45 hits reported by UA🇺🇦
■ 91% neutralization ratio
■ 300 Shahed launched (aproximately)
As a result of the Ru🇷🇺. Hits by 10 missiles and 25 strike UAVs were recorded in 30 locations; falling debris (fragments) was recorded in 16 locations.
UAV count for December 2025 that Ru🇷🇺 launched:
■ 4871 launched by Ru🇷🇺
■ 3940 downed & lost [EW, decoy, malfunction] reported by UA🇺🇦
■ 931 hits reported by UA🇺🇦
■ 81% average neutralization ratio
■ 2900 Shahed launched (aproximately)
It's another day of large-scale attacks. The interception ratio is very high, but sadly civilian buildings are being attacked. There are no military targets. This is a sign that Ru🇷🇺 is losing because they do not know what to attack due to a lack of intelligence.
It looks the same as the previous months, but with a slightly better UA🇺🇦 interception ratio! This is partly due to the use of Sting drones, such as @wilendhornets .
El 5 de mayo de 1945, soldados estadounidenses, tropas de la Wehrmacht alemana, prisioneros franceses VIP y mujeres de la resistencia lucharon hombro con hombro contra las SS. Es la única vez que nazis y aliados combatieron en el mismo bando. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Hitler ya se había suicidado, pero las SS seguían luchando con fanatismo en Austria. En el Castillo Itter, una fortaleza medieval convertida en prisión de lujo, los nazis tenían retenidos a prisioneros como dos ex primeros ministros franceses, generales y la hermana de De Gaulle.
La Marcha Verde marroquí de 1975 no fue algo improvisado. Fue una operación hostil calculada e impulsada por actores como Estados Unidos y Francia; diseñada para forzar la salida de España del Sáhara en el peor momento posible: con el régimen agonizando. Y esto merece un hilo:
El 16 de octubre, Hassan II anunciaría una movilización masiva de civiles para «completar» el territorio marroquí. No era una amenaza retórica, era un envite directo, planteado como alternativa entre aceptar el hecho consumado o entrar en un conflicto largo y desestabilizador.
Mover a varios miles de personas, con logística, carreteras, combustible, víveres y cobertura militar, no se hace en secreto. El Ejército español lo sabía desde mucho antes. Los preparativos eran visibles. La pregunta no es si España estaba informada, sino por qué no reaccionó.
Google’s Gemini team barely uses “normal prompts.”
Their internal structures look nothing like what Twitter teaches.
I reverse-engineered them from DeepMind examples.
Here are 5 that change everything 👇
1/ The Context Anchor
Most people: "Write a blog post about AI"
Google engineers: "You are a technical writer at Google DeepMind. Using the context from [document], write a blog post that explains [concept] to developers who understand ML basics but haven't worked with transformers."
They anchor EVERY prompt with role + context + audience.
2/ The Constraint Stack
Instead of hoping for good output, they pre-define boundaries:
"Generate 3 variations. Each must:
- Be under 280 characters
- Include one technical term
- End with a question
- Avoid jargon like 'revolutionary' or 'game-changer'"
But if you read their docs carefully, they absolutely imply them.
I mapped 10 prompts they quietly rely on for safe but razor-sharp analysis.
(Comment "Claude" and I'll also DM you my Claude Mastery Guide)
1. The "Recursive Logic" Loop
Most prompts ask for an answer. This forces the model to doubt itself 6 times before committing.
Template: "Draft an initial solution for [TOPIC]. Then, create a hidden scratchpad to intensely self-critique your logic. Repeat this 'think-revise' cycle 5 times. Only provide the final, bullet-proof version."
2. The "Context Architect" Frame
Stop stuffing your AI with info. Use "Just-in-Time" retrieval to stop "context rot."
Template: "I am going to provide [DATA]. Do not process everything. Use a 'minimal high-signal' approach to extract only the facts necessary to solve [PROBLEM]. Discard all redundant noise."
Israel es el primer estado de la ONU que reconoce a Somalilandia, la región secesionista de Somalia. Turquía, Egipto, Yibuti y las organizaciones árabes se oponen y se abre otro frente de conflicto. Vamos a entender un conflicto con consecuencias estratégicas profundas. Sale hilo
En esta crisis no hay motivos étnicos o religiosos. Somalia y su región rebelde son en un 95% musulmanas sunitas y pertenecen al mismo grupo cushita. Para comprenderlo hay que empezar por los cinco clanes principales que agrupan a la mayor parte de los 18 millones de somalíes
El clan más grande es el Darod, que ocupan el centro y el noroeste y se extienden hasta Etiopia y Kenia. Le siguen los Hawiye en el centro y sur, los Rahanweyn en las zonas agroganaderas del sur y los Dir en el norte. Dentro de cada clan hay sub-clanes y familias

In 1980, Frank Abagnale Jr published his autobiography. Telling the story of his life as a criminal and confidence trickster, movie studios were interested very quickly, and the rights to the book changed hands several times…

Producers Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin bought the rights after seeing Abagnale on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Following that, Columbia, TriStar and Paramount all produced treatments or scripts, before it finally came to Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks.

Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.
The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.
Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.
But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:
News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised
Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region

Raising Stars Autism Center (1346881786), owner Nimo Hussein Abdi. She is also connected to Twins Healing Center, which I will elaborate on later in this thread.
MN Open Checkbook shows Raising Stars received $500,000 from Minnesota between the 2024, 2025, and 2026 budgets.
There are 0 reviews on Google despite the NPI registered since 2019 and receiving half a million dollars in funds.
I called the number listed for Raising Stars and was surprised when a woman answered casually by saying "hello?" — there was no "How can I help you?", business introduction or any formal language. I asked if they accept Medicaid and she hesitated before saying "No, I am sorry.", but she said she did not know what insurance they accept or if they have a sliding scale payment option for cash paying customers. The number listed on the website and Google do not match the NPI registration.
I decided to dig further and discovered red flags I believe are worthy of further investigation.
I've messaged people with more reach and experience than I have in an attempt to find out if these businesses are legitimate. I am a mother of three children with special medical needs and my sons both have autism so companies using autism to commit fraud is an issue that deeply concerns me. Read more about these strange connections in this thread below. 🧵
The number listed on the Raising Stars Autism Center website and the address in the Raising Stars NPI registration, is connected to Mirad A. Farah, rather than the owner (Nimo Hussein Abdi). The phone number does not match the NPI listing and the address connected to Mirad is not the one used for the main website, but the phone number is.
Mirad A. Farah is a licensed Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), but she is connected to Mercy Counseling Center (MCC). It is worth noting that most autism centers hire BCBAs and the "Meet the Staff" page of Raising Stars does not show any staff.
As seen in footage taken by @nickshirleyy, Mercy Counseling Center (MCC) is registered in a building housing multiple health related LLCs in Minnesota.
The address is 1821 University Ave E, Saint Paul, MN 55104-2801, United States
Each of the LLCs has a basic website and little to no review history online. The links to social media pages lead nowhere.
🧵continued below...
There is another LLC linked to Nimo Abdi that is called Twins Healing Center. The center lists its address as 2727 East 26th St, Suite 8, Minneapolis, MN 55406. The building once again seems to house multiple health LLCs.
However, what is more strange is the secondary address is associated with at least two other LLCs, Willmar Autism Services LLC and US Care Home Care LLC.
The address, 425 Benson Ave SW, Willmar, MN 56201, is listed by realtors as being only 1,420 square feet.
