1/ 🏦 America needs an experienced wise and smarter than other global finance heads so he can outsmart them––a Treasury Secretary who puts 🇺🇸 first.

A leader who gets tariffs, trade, & turning the tide back in our favor.

SCOTT BESSENT is definitely THAT guy.

Here’s why: 🧵
2/ Scott understands tariffs aren’t just a policy—they’re a POWER MOVE.

While others talk, Scott will make sure unfair trade practices PAY UP.

He’s about winning for American workers and businesses.
3/ His America First agenda isn’t just talk

Scott’s built relationships across the globe, not to placate but to DOMINATE

He knows our adversaries + allies––they respect him.

He knows how to leverage deals to bring foreign $$ into the U.S. & keep it flowing into OUR economy💪

1/ 🛡️ The FUTURE of WARFARE isn’t a “revolution” but an evolution—a mix of drones, AI, and smart strategy. What’s the playbook for Taiwan, Ukraine, and beyond?

A quick high-level dive📡Image
2/ 🛰️ The Gulf War heralded stealth, precision, & GPS.

Today, uncrewed systems (drones) + AI define the battlefield. But there are limits. Attrition wars teach hard lessons. Image
3/ 🔥 UKRAINE's lessons for TAIWAN:

Drones disrupt but aren’t invincible.

Customized kamikaze drones carry ~5kg payloads, fly ~19km + force adversaries to spend $$$ on defense.

Cheap beats fancy (sometimes). Image

3/ Proteins are wondrous dynamic molecules with incredible FUNCTIONS

-molecular engines powering motion
-photosynthetic machines capturing and converting to energy
-scaffolding building skeletons of cells
-complex sensors interacting with environment
-information processing systems running the programming operating system of life

1/ Quick thread 🧵important new paper 📜from @sfiscience on the THERMODYNAMICS of COMPUTATION...

Ever wondered why your gadgets get warm after using them for a while? As with cells🧫, brains🧠 and laptops💻––it's all about energy use and heat🔥.... Image
2/ The key is "stopping times". In biology a cell might stop making a protein once it triggers a reaction from another cell. In simulations like a coin-flipping it may be once it reaches a set number of flips...Image
3/ Estimates are that computers use 5-9% of global energy (AI will only increase this📈). Biological systems on the other hand are 100,000x more energy-efficient...
