Robert Sengstacke Abbott was born on this day in 1868 in St. Simons, Ga. He was a pioneering African American lawyer and publisher of the most influential Black newspaper in the U.S., earning him the title “Father of Black Journalism.” /1

Abbott was born to formerly enslaved parents. After his father’s death, his mother married John Sengstacke, a German immigrant who encouraged his stepson’s education. Abbott studied printing at the Hampton Institute and earned a law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 1898. /2

Unable to practice law due to discrimination, he founded the Chicago Defender in 1905 with an initial investment of just 25 cents. The newspaper gained national influence by acting as a “racial watchdog,” using provocative headlines and unflinching editorials to advocate for Black Americans. /3

3/ When we talk about weaponized faith in politics, we're describing a pattern where:

1. Religious or moral language is used not to uplift shared humanity, but to justify power or dominance.

2. Identity categories (like race, religion, or nationality) become shields or weapons rather than sources of empathy.

3. Messaging encourages us vs. them divisions rather than inclusive community building

This book by Walter Burkert captures a series of Lectures given by historians at Harvard University in April 1982.

It catalogs the shocking occult magic and beliefs of the Roman aristocracy. Their "democracy" and government were INFUSED with DARK stuff...

I first stumbled on this book while researching the true beliefs of the Roman Aristocracy after reading about it in Zielinski's "The Religion of Ancient Greece"

Un día te miras al espejo y ahí está: un pelo brillante y plateado que antes no existía. Arrancarlo no sirve de nada, porque tu cuerpo ha decidido dejar de "imprimir" color. Pero, ¿por qué ocurre? La ciencia dice que nos estamos decolorando desde dentro. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Para entender la cana, primero hay que entender el color. Tu pelo es, en esencia, transparente. La queratina que lo forma es blanca o amarillenta. El color (rubio, castaño, negro) es un "tinte" natural que tu cuerpo inyecta en el tallo mientras crece.

Los encargados de pintar tu pelo son unas células llamadas melanocitos que viven en la raíz del folículo y producen melanina. Hay dos tipos de pintura: Eumelanina (oscuro) y Feomelanina (rojizo/rubio) y es la mezcla de ambas la que define tu tono.

YouTube algoritması hakkında 20'den fazla video, döküman taradım, GitHub’daki açık kaynak çalışmaları inceledim. Tüm bu "algoritma gizemi" üzerine yapılan yorumları sizler için süzüp bir rehber haline getirdim. 🧵👇

İlk kural: YouTube algoritması savaşacağınız bir Aİ değil. Aksine, o bir paket servis elemanı. Yani görevi; doğru videoyu, doğru izleyiciye, doğru zamanda bırakmaktır. Algoritmayla savaşmayı bırakıp onunla barışık hareket etmelisiniz.

Peki bu algoritma bizi nasıl duyuyor?

Üç tane ana damarı var: CTR (Tıklama), Retention (Elde tutma) ve Oturum süresi. Yani; videona tıkladılar mı? İçeride kaldılar mı? Ve en önemlisi, senin sayende YouTube'da vakit geçirmeye devam ettiler mi?" Mesele bu.

A day before my 30-day ban, I complained that I was being mass-reported (by bots) & I said I won’t break to bullying.

I didn’t break, but Twitter's automatic ban system sure did – I probably should have gone private the moment the visibility limits began.

But honestly? Sometimes it feels good to be right, even if it isn’t the smartest move.

And now? I guess it is time to take a deep dive thread at Twitter’s ban & support systems to determine whether they’re just or unjust, wise or foolish, and how they could be fixed 🧵

Issue number 1: I got banned as a result of mass reporting over a post that exclaimed that I would “destroy a Satanic temple”. That post was replying to a video game’s trailer (@WhereWindsMeet_); it wasn’t “violent speech”, as Twitter informed me by email.

Issue number 2: Twitter’s ban system takes into account ONLY one thing: whether an automated system believes you broke the rules & how many times you’ve been banned before.

It does not take into account how long your account has existed, how long it has been between bans or how much volume of posts & replies your account produces.

The previous time I had been banned was for 7 days, and it was 3 months prior to the 30-day ban.

I’m a monetised user; I was posting about ~200 posts & replies a day on average – that means that between ~18000 posts & replies, I had ~15 posts that were granted a visibility limit (10 of which were re-granted visibility after review) & 1 post the system determined to be “violent” and therefore worthy of a “ban” (again, video game talk).

This means that Twitter practically discriminates & punishes high-volume users who make more posts & replies, as they’re more likely to slip up.

A just system should take into account the time between bans & the volume of posts/replies made by the user.

EXCLUSIVE: In September 2022, a Fort Worth, Texas school attempted to bury a dangerous mishandling that nearly cost a 14-year-old student their life.

This case makes one thing clear: school st*bbings are not new. They have been happening for years—and it is the institutions themselves that have repeatedly avoided accountability.

The silencing of parents ends here. Read the entire thread for the full insane story!

A freshman student at Boswell High School in the Eagle Mountain–Saginaw Independent School District (EMS ISD) was st*bbed in the back with a serrated kitchen knife by another student during the school day. The blade fully penetrated the student’s back, later determined by medical professionals to be in close proximity to a major artery. The student also suffered a punctured lung and broken rib.

The video was sent to me by the mother of the victim. In the video, you can see her son walking down the hall with a 5 inch steak knife in his back. At this point, he did not know he had been st*bbed and was likely in shock. The student who attacked him is the African American boy in the turquoise hoodie who can be seen at the beginning of the video. According to the mom, “He st*bbed him in the back, punched him in the face three times, and then said to my son, ‘How do you like that, you little b*tch?’”

“A Coach approached the situation and instead of sitting my son down, Keeping him still, and calling emergency and putting the school on lockdown, this Teacher/Coach walked my Son down a top-floor hallway during a lunch rush. Then my son was mocked and filmed by Students of Baswell”

Proceed to the thread to read the rest of this insane story 👇

On September 21, 2022, shortly after being dismissed from class for lunch, the student was attacked in a school hallway. According to the victim’s account, the assailant approached from behind, st*bbed him in the back, then moved in front of him and punched him in the face multiple times while verbally taunting him. Due to a documented vision condition, the victim did not see the attacker approach and initially believed he had been punched, not st*bbed.

After the as*ault, the victim was escorted by a coach from the top floor of the school, through crowded hallways and down multiple flights of stairs to the nurse’s office. During this time, other students filmed him on their phones and commented that there was a knife in his back. The victim remained unaware that he had been st*bbed. Again, he was likely in shock.

According to the victim and the mother, her son was searched and his backpack was rummaged through while he sat on a bed with a knife in his back. He was treated as if he was the attacker. This is while he was in a very fragile state.

“My son’s safety was the least of their concerns!”

Principal Blue took the victims backpack and dumped out the contents, then searched her son while demanding that he sit up straight.

The victim asked “why are you treating me this way?” The principal stated that he was looking for a knife on the victim. All the while, the knife was still in his back. It was STILL at this time that the victim did not realize he had been st*bbed. He later described the feeling as a “strange tingly sensation” and thought that he had just been punched very hard in that area.

The EMTs later confirmed with the parents that any movement could have k*lled their son. The surgeon also confirmed that the placement of the knife meant that their son had a very high chance of bleeding to d*ath.

The family pursued meetings with school administrators, filed grievances, and provided documentation raising concerns about staff actions, safety protocols, and post-incident support. District responses consistently cited confidentiality laws, including FERPA and Texas Education Code provisions, to limit disclosure of information about staff discipline or internal evaluations.

In correspondence dated November 15, 2024, the district’s legal counsel stated that the district had investigated the matter, acted appropriately under the circumstances, and complied with all legal requirements. The letter asserted that the district reviewed allegations, cooperated with law enforcement, and believed staff actions were reasonable given the information available at the time.

There was no policy change.
There was no apology.
There was no remorse.
There was no accountability.
The attacker was allowed probation.
The family’s financial burden reached nearly 6 figures

The school was allowed to continue on with no accountability and was able to escape public scrutiny.

The family cannot sue the school due to sovereign immunity.

I think Mitterrand benefited from several anti-French influences to come to power in France:

- The Germans saw the French's excessive guilt as a way to absolve Germany of responsibility for the Holocaust.

- Africans, including left-wing Sephardim, saw an opportunity for anti-Western Bolshevism, based on the insidious injection of political Islam.

And so Artificieux I was “empowered” by our enemies to destroy our minds and public finances.
Bokassa/Attali/Mitterrand, and France was ruined.

And so Artificieux I was “empowered” by our enemies to destroy our minds and public finances.
Bokassa/Attali/Mitterrand, and France was ruined.
France and the French people were ruined by people and methods of appalling dishonesty, who sought to rig our Nation and then also attacked the United States.

It is indeed possible to see a transposition of Mitterrandism against the Americans through obamacareNOT.

@ZemmourEric @arnoklarsfeld @Le_CRIF @HaimKorsia Here I show how Judeo-Bolshevism works, associations with other individuals and the importation of foreign manipulations unknown to the people of the target country. This is true in Russia with Marxism, but also in France with political Islam, and again in the United States with political Islam.

Here's how to explain why Marxism was able to easily manipulate the Russian population... largely illiterate, unable to grasp what was going on.

Meet the world's #1 visceral fat doctor.

Dr. Sean O'Mara.

He's spent decades researching the silent killer poisoning our bodies.

Here are his 7 key rules to destroy visceral belly fat:

1) Eat more meat

Don't assume all meat is the same.

It's important to eat the highest quality possible.

Dr. Sean eats mostly grass-fed beef.

But you can't just eat meat...

2) Eat fermented foods

You need probiotic foods that contain living organisms which eliminate micro-toxins and bad carbohydrates.

He explains the power of fermented foods:

🚨What if old clothes could power cities & remove CO₂?

New study shows that modular bioenergy with carbon capture (#BECCS) using discarded textiles can cut emissions, beat landfilling on env impacts & deliver durable #CDR at costs competitive with today’s CDR markets.

🧵1/10

2/ ~92 Mt of textile waste are generated globally each year. Roughly half is biogenic (e.g., cotton), meaning it already represents stored atmospheric CO₂ captured by plants during growth.

Yet ~66% of US textiles are landfilled, releasing GHGs & pollutants over time.

3/ In this study, researches model a 100 t/day modular waste-to-energy plant using:

• 100% cotton textiles
• 50/50 cotton–PET blends

Each case is assessed with and without CCS and compared to landfilling using full LCA + techno-economic analysis.

Your vision isn't "just tired" your retina is dying.

Vision accounts for 80% of how you perceive and interact with the environment.

Your retina contains:

Photoreceptor cells (detect light)
Retinal pigment epithelium (cellular support)
Blood vessels (nutrient delivery)
Neural cells (signal processing)

Modern screens + aging = accelerated retinal cell death.

BioRetina A-11 - Natural Retina Peptide Bioregulator

Extracted from eye tissues (retina, cornea, blood vessels) of young animals.

What it does:

✓ Supports normal function of retinal & eye tissues

✓ Promotes healthy protein synthesis within eye cells

✓ Maintains visual function under age-related degeneration

✓ Reduces eye fatigue & discomfort from screens

✓ Regulates eye metabolism & cellular activity

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.

A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that destroys decision-making.

11 most powerful (and dangerous) cognitive biases I've found: 🧵

1. Survivorship Bias:

1. Survivorship Bias:

We focus on the winners and ignore the losers.

We study the college dropout billionaires but ignore the thousands of dropouts who failed.

Success leaves clues, but failure teaches lessons.

2. The Sunk Cost Fallacy:

We cling to things just because we’ve already invested time or money in them.

We refuse to quit a bad job or project because we "can't let that effort go to waste."

Don't throw good time after bad.

The ancient Romans, Greek, and Chinese ate these plants for centuries.

Modern Americans call them "weeds" and spray them with chemicals.

After looking around I found 8 common garden weeds that contain more nutrients than kale, spinach, and broccoli:

1. Dandelion Greens

Dandelion greens have more vitamin A per gram than Kale.

They also contain bitter compounds that help digestion and are extremely high in vitamin K.

Widely used in ancient medicine.

2. Purslane

Has more omega-3s than any other leafy green in the world (300-400mg per 100g – way more than spinach).

It also packs vitamin C, vitamin E, and magnesium.

1/ NEW from @gazamaps: Israel occupied an additional 10% of Gaza since the "ceasefire."

Counting the land Israel took since the ceasefire, over 63% of Gaza is now an IDF-designated kill zone.

(Link at bottom of thread.)

2/ The area between the "ceasefire line" the IDF published, and the yellow blocks the IDF claimed marked that line, is nearly 10% of Gaza.

Arrows point to land taken since the "ceasefire." It's over 9% of Gaza.

3/ This means Palestinians are concentrated into less than 38% of Gaza, and that area is shrinking.
