Dr Sarah Beaulieu was contracted to do the ground penetrating radar at Kamloops Residential School, because "she is an expert" in that field
I dunno🧵
The evidence to support her expertise in ground penetrating radar is her master thesis work, Remembering the Forgotten, where suspected grave sites were analyzed
Except in her thesis, Dr Sarah Beaulieu had no training on ground penetrating radar, did not conduct any of the operations herself, and outsourced the work to a party who did.
You can see these "experts" and their dog in her thesis

Greta Garbo es el arquetipo de la belleza inalcanzable.
Fue una de las primeras divas en proteger ferozmente su privacidad.
En la pantalla, sus sonrisas eran raras, enigmáticas o melancólicas. Más que actuar, habitaba sus personajes con un magnetismo contenido.
[Abro hilo]
Greta Lovisa Gustafsson nació el 18 de septiembre de 1905 en Estocolmo, Suecia, en una familia humilde. Su infancia estuvo marcada por la pobreza. A los 14 años, la muerte de su padre la sumió en la melancolía y la obligó a trabajar para ayudar a mantener a su madre y hermanos.
Trabajaba como dependienta en unos grandes almacenes cuando, por azar, fue requerida como modelo para una campaña publicitaria.
Su rostro llamó tanto la atención que le abrió las puertas de la escuela del Teatro Real de Estocolmo.
Earth’s surface is full of huge curved features. Arcs of sediment, ocean ridges, and tectonic zones. I adapted Meinesz method for predicting shear force trajectories around a specific Euler - in this case, the ECDO 104° along the 31° meridian [figs 1 & 2]. The maps show predicted global shear stresses on Earth’s surface if the planet underwent large-scale reorientation (true polar wander). The model is predictive - generated before comparison to the geology. One of Meinesz' original shear maps, based on a 70° TPW along the 90° meridian is shown in fig 3. [1/7]
[2/7] In the southeastern United States, surface clay forms a near-perfect arc with a ~250km radius. The arc crosses multiple geological provinces and rock types, which makes local explanations difficult. Carbonate enrichment (CaCO₃) appears along the same arc, while sand does not. The geometry matches the predicted shear contours almost exactly. When a single, smooth arc cuts cleanly across multiple provinces, with no obvious structural boundary. How does a feature like this maintain a precise geometry unless it reflects a large-scale, organizing stress field?
[3/7] Around Sulawesi bathymetry and fault systems curve in tight spirals, aligning with the predicted shear trajectories around the Euler focal points. Different rocks. Different ages. Consistent geometry.
WHAT CHINESE SCIENTISTS THINK THE WORLD COULD LOOK LIKE BY 2049
On December 6, the Tengchong Scientists Forum convened in Yunnan, where a group of leading Chinese scientists and research institutions released a report titled Tech Foresight and Future Visions 2049. The report outlines ten technology visions and corresponding future life scenarios, spanning AI, robotics, energy, health, computing, materials, transportation, and human habitation.
What stands out is not just the scope, but the framing. Advanced intelligence, including ASI, is treated directly and largely positively, as part of a broader project to expand human capability and improve quality of life over the long run. Rather than focusing on failure modes or existential risk, the report consistently emphasizes uplift, coordination, and human-centered outcomes.
The report reflects over a year of structured discussion among scientists and researchers affiliated with major research and corporate institutes, including Huawei, China Mobile, Tencent Research Institute, Shanghai AI Lab, and SPIC’s innovation center. What follows is a condensed summary of the ten visions, with their key milestones.
Vision 1: From AGI to ASI
AI evolves from task-specific agents toward AGI and eventually ASI, with the explicit goal of amplifying human cognition, creativity, and complex decision-making. Self-evolution is treated as the core requirement, enabled by embodied intelligence grounded in the physical world.
Trajectory
L1/L2 (today): Vertical AI agents drive productivity gains
L3 (~2030): Early AGI embedded in core industry workflows
L4 (~2035): Partial self-evolution reshapes labor and social organization
L5 (2049): ASI enables paradigm-level knowledge breakthroughs
Vision 2: General-purpose robots at scale
Robots transition from research tools to everyday assistants and long-term companions across homes and industries. Progress depends on advances in dexterous manipulation, tactile sensing, and data flywheels powered by real-world deployment.
Trajectory
L1/L2 (today): Research-led deployments, limited industrial pilots
L2/L3 (~2030): World models and VTLA systems enable scaling
L3/L4 (~2035): Around 30% of households consider robot purchases
L5 (2049): Consumer-level pricing and mass adoption
Cheryl Hines never understood why making vaccines safer made people so angry.
Then she had a conversation with Tucker Carlson, and suddenly it clicked.
People aren’t offended by the idea of safer vaccines because it’s extreme or “crazy.” They’re offended because vaccines are already “perfect,” and if you dare propose safer vaccines, you are denying that perfection.
Think about this for a moment.
RFK Jr. was once a darling of the left, celebrated as an environmental attorney fighting to clean up air and water. But once he began criticizing vaccines, he was effectively excommunicated.
The “belief” in vaccines is like a religion, and it has been for a very long time. Look up Diego Rivera’s vaccine mural from the 1930s. It depicts a child who looks strikingly similar to Baby Jesus being vaccinated while surrounded by “wise” scientists. Rivera was not a religious man. Ironically, “science” was his religion.
After decades of brainwashing, people are starting to realize that what they believed about vaccines their entire lives wasn’t grounded in science, but in a belief system.
And through that awakening, they’re finally able to see the vaccine and pharmaceutical industries for what they really are. 🧵
Those of us who have cared for years about the health of this country have come close to losing hope entirely, more than most people realize.
The medical establishment has grown more and more corrupt, Big Pharma's power has exploded, and public health policies have become increasingly detached from reality while much of the country cheered them on.
Watching it play out felt like being trapped in a straitjacket in a downward spiral with no exit. But it wasn’t COVID that created that feeling. COVID finally exposed it.
For the first time in decades, that never-ending spiral may finally find an end. That’s why the forces responsible for it are panicking.
The information in this thread comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc.
Yep. In 2018, evidence surfaces of EPSTEIN’S MUCH DEEPER MIT TIES & how MIT actually got $7.5 MILLION from the CONVICTED PEDO ‘OFF-THE-BOOKS’. So naturally, ACKMAN/OXMAN get ‘married’ at the BEGINNING of 2019, EPSTEIN is WHACKED LATER that year & OXMAN quietly leaves MIT in 2020.
EPSTEIN was a HUGE HARVARD donor too. They got $9 MILLION BEFORE his CHILD SEX CRIMES CONVICTION. MIT got $7.5 MILLION AFTER.
Know who ELSE worked at MIT/MIT MEDIA LABS & at HARVARD? THIS fgt.👇

High cholesterol is usually treated as a fat problem.
In reality, it’s often a metabolic problem driven by excess glucose and insulin resistance.
Once you understand that distinction, the dietary solution flips completely.
Thread
First, understand that cholesterol is NOT the villain.
It’s essential for building cell membranes, producing hormones like estrogen and testosterone, and supporting brain function and nerve signaling.
So why has it been blamed for heart disease all these years?
The "cholesterol hypothesis" stemmed from Ancel Keys' flawed Seven Countries Study (1958). He cherry-picked data that supported his hypothesis while ignoring contradicting evidence from 15 other countries.
France has a high intake of saturated fat yet low heart disease rates.
Thus, the "French Paradox" might not be a paradox at all; it could disprove the original hypothesis...
Today we're announcing cua-bench: a framework for benchmarking, training data, and RL environments for computer-use AI agents. Why? Current agents show 10x variance across minor UI changes. Here's how we're fixing it.
1/ The problem: Claude Computer-Use, OpenAI CUA, and Gemini 2.5 Computer-Use show 10x performance difference across minor UI changes.
Completes tasks on a clean desktop, fails when windows overlap. Works on default themes, breaks on high contrast mode.
The root cause: training data lacks visual diversity.
2/ cua-bench is a framework for benchmarking, training data generation, and RL environments for computer-use agents.
HTML-based environments render across 10+ OS themes—macOS, Win11, WinXP, Win98, iOS, Android. Define once, generate thousands of visual variations.
The Pittet 2000 paper makes the infamous claim. "HH remains the single most important measure to prevent nosocomial infections" (NB not just transmission but infections). There is just 1 citation...
Is to Larson 1995 the APIC Guideline on hand washing and hand antisepsis.
In which there is no such claim...
The claim made is that handwashing can reduce patient morbidity and mortality from nosocomial infection.... 4 references supplied.

SUPERMAN was released 47 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the first and greatest superhero movies, and among the most beloved of director Richard Donner, the story of how it was made will make you believe a man can fly…

Alexander and Ilya Salkind were a French-Mexican father-and-son movie producing duo, who wanted to make a big-screen adaptation of Superman. After pitching the idea round Hollywood since 1973, the release of Star Wars in 1977 made studios more receptive to the idea.
2/59
After many studio rejections, the Salkinds finally struck a deal with Warner Bros. It was a negative pickup, meaning WB were under no obligation to put any money in until they saw the film. So the Salkinds had to find funding themselves.
$440 million vanished in 45 minutes

This is the story of Knight Capital
A thread
1. Knight Capital wasn’t reckless or inexperienced.
They were one of the largest market makers in the U.S., executing millions of trades daily and providing liquidity to the entire market.
2. Before the market opened that day, Knight Capital deployed a new trading algorithm.
It was meant to improve performance.
One small operational error slipped through unnoticed.
After some technical difficulties from the missing month of data, we're up.
It's not just that this job report is bad, though it is. Unemployment is up 0.47% in 2025 and increasing.
It's that it shows what Trump hoped to do with the economy is failing. Let's dig in. /1
If you want to see where unemployment increased, here it is broken down.
It's up everywhere, but especially for younger workers, black workers, and those with BAs and without a high school diploma, and a bit more for men. This isn't a shift in employment they were hoping for. /2
On the jobs side, their goal this year was to shift the labor market from health care and federal jobs to goods-producing ones. It didn't work.
They did drop federal workers; with -162,000 in the month where those taking the deferral buyout would show up in the data. /3
Terrorism has no religion. But it does have certain preferred geographics to flourish.
Today we trace one such geography: Pakistan.
🧵
Since 2000, the West has increasingly been on the receiving end of terrorism. The 9/11 attacks, the shoe bomber incident, attacks in New York, London, Paris, Munich, and Barcelona - different cities, different years, different incidents - but the same source of trouble: Pakistan

Last week, the media declared a “partial victory” for Sandie Peggie, who sued the NHS for letting a trans colleague use the women’s changing room. In fact, the case was a flop. The gender-critical movement might be persuading journalists, but it’s failing with judges 🧵
Though the judge found that NHS Fife had harassed Peggie, this was on procedural grounds: by taking too long to investigate a complaint against her, for example.
On the much more substantive point, that the NHS & Dr Upton harassed her, Peggie’s argument failed entirely. In fact, the judge found *Peggie* harassed Upton. In fact, he also found that *Peggie’s lawyer* may have harassed her.
