The thing is, first term obama deportation numbers are mostly the result of ICE deportation machinery created under the Bush administration, Obama just didn't dismantle it until his second term. 
George W Bush was saying "mi casa es su casa" at the RNC while slowly creating a massive deportation machine, which is what a more "centrist" way of doing deportation could potentially look like, but he never had to deal with the radicalized millenial leftist activist class

📰On June 30, the Dutch Health Council will publish its assessment of the Dutch Protocol—but an article by a legal scholar raises serious concerns about the impartiality of the upcoming assessment. Of 12 committee members, 6 were directly involved in pediatric gender transitions./1
The article (auto-translated from Dutch) also raises questions as to whether such significant presence of conflicted gender clinicians — whose professional reputation depends on a positive assessment of the Dutch Protocol — contravenes the Dutch Health Council's own conflict-of-interest code.
The article aptly observes, "it is already a serious question whether a committee can still function independently when one member has a substantial interest in the outcome of the advisory opinion. In this committee, the situation is much more pronounced: half of the committee members have a substantive connection to the intervention they are tasked with evaluating. This makes it difficult to argue that the committee as a whole possesses sufficient distance and impartiality to render a credible judgment."

The Dutch legal article points out that due to the controversial context of pediatric gender transitions, it was essential to assure that the assessment of the Dutch Protocol by the Dutch Health Council is free from conflicts of interest.
After all, it was the intense national and international controversy that led the Dutch House of Representatives to seek advice from the Health Council in 2024 in the first place. The article notes, “an advisory opinion issued within such a polarized context will only carry authority if it can be demonstrated that procedural safeguards have been adhered to”—something that has, unfortunately, not occurred. /3

Nigel Farage is under more pressure than ever.

Here’s what the mainstream media are NOT telling you about Christopher Harborne:🧵
This man is Nigel Farage’s top funder.
Shortly before his 2024 run for parliament, he gave Farage an undeclared £5 million “gift”.
But Christopher Harborne is also the largest shareholder in QinetiQ, an arms firm that has exported over £13m of military components to the IDF.

One of the most underappreciated ways to play the AI semiconductor buildout may be through materials rather than chips themselves.
As the industry races to produce more advanced semiconductors, demand isn’t just rising for GPUs and wafer fab equipment, it’s rising for the critical materials that make modern chips possible. (1/6)🧵

Tungsten is a great example.
It is one of the most critical materials in semiconductor fabrication, prized for its high-temperature stability and resistance to electrical wear. Fabs rely on CVD to fill the deep, high-aspect-ratio vertical vias that link multi-layered chip architectures, while utilizing PVD to deposit the ultra-thin structural barrier layers surrounding them. Because it spans both core deposition categories, tungsten is completely non-negotiable for advanced chip production. (2/6)

What’s interesting is that supply appears increasingly constrained. High-purity tungsten metal powder is the primary raw material used to manufacture WF₆ (tungsten hexafluoride, the gas used in CVD). The raw supply chain is overwhelmingly dominated by China, which controls roughly 80% of global tungsten mining, refining, and powder processing capacity.
China exports YTD are down ~50% YoY, and the data demonstrates the pricing pressure global customers are facing on this critical component. (3/6)

INTERESTING: Only 3 months after Rubin Ultra was announced at GTC 2026, the original 4-die Rubin Ultra has been cancelled due to manufacturing execution concerns. The new “Rubin Ultra” is half the size/~ half the real-world performance of the original Rubin Ultra. 1/4🧵
This all comes against the backdrop of NVIDIA’s market share being eroded by Trainium, TPUs, and AMD chips. For NVIDIA to maintain pole position, it must be aggressive in execution. Manufacturing execution issues like this will only lead to more market share being chipped away. 2/4🧵
A good chunk of inference for the most successful AI agent, Claude Code, is done on Trainium, while Claude training is done on TPUs. Just a year ago, it would have been unimaginable that TPUs and Trainium could grow this rapidly, while the CUDA moat slowly eroded. 3/4🧵

A data broker called National Public Data collected personal info on nearly every American. In April 2024, hackers stole 2.9 billion records. Names, Social Security numbers, addresses going back 30 years, phone numbers, dates of birth, relatives. A hacker group put it on the dark web for $3.5 million. Then someone leaked the entire database for free. The company went bankrupt. Your data is still circulating.

1/ Ukraine is reported to be systematically targeting fluid catalytic cracking units at Russian oil refineries, aiming to destroy complex machinery that Russia can't repair itself and may take years to replace. As a result, the current fuel crisis may be a prolonged one. ⬇️
2/ According to VChK-OGPU, the recent drone attacks on Moscow's Kapotnya oil refinery have prevented the facility shipping fuel since the striked. It will take two or three months to carry out repairs, but one of the cracking columns is irreparably damaged.
3/ Similar serious damage has also been inflicted on the Yaroslavl and Ryazan refineries, with diesel production at Yaroslavl completely disabled "for a very long time". The two refineries had previously been principal suppliers of fuel to Moscow.

80% of pain-free over-50s have disc degeneration on MRI but many have zero pain.
Here's a 🧵why scans don't always add up when it comes to back pain
Here's a 🧵why scans don't always add up when it comes to back pain
Brinjikji et al. (2015) pooled imaging data from over 3,000 asymptomatic people across 33 studies.
Disc degeneration: 80% by age 50, 96% by age 80.
Disc bulges: 60% in pain-free 50-year-olds.
These are normal age-related findings, not damage.
Disc degeneration: 80% by age 50, 96% by age 80.
Disc bulges: 60% in pain-free 50-year-olds.
These are normal age-related findings, not damage.
This matters clinically. A report reading 'degeneration,' 'bulge,' or 'annular fissure' sounds alarming — but for most patients, that's closer to grey hair than to injury.
Yes, let's discuss France.
1. There are countless examples of all-white or almost-all-white teams outperforming in soccer, such as Croatia, Argentina, Uruguay (ruling out "it's just because they're rich" explanations), Denmark, Portugal, the Netherlands, Iceland's "golden generation"... You could just as easily make the opposite argument.
2. Is an almost-100% black team "diverse"?
3. As we are seeing this year apparently black footballers while very good in many places are apparently bad at shootouts so you could argue it's why France lost in 2022 to all-white Argentina team.
4. In 2002 France was heavily favored to win and yet lost in the knock-out stages, subsequent reporting showed it was because of ethnoreligious strife within the team. Could diversity not always be a strength?
5. In 2006 France famously lost to all-white Italy team after Materazzi insulted Zinedine Zidane's mother and the latter chimped out, something which only befuddles people who have never interacted with Maghrebi Muslims (interesting that in spite of major public pressure Zidane has always refused to apologize for his chimp-out).
6. The audience for soccer in France has been slowly taken over by the audience for rugby which was a very niche sport when I was a child; although nobody wants to say this outloud the reason is obviously that rugby is white-coded while soccer is non-white-coded. In French culture, soccer has gone from a factor of social unity that transcended class/culture/geography/etc. to a factor of class/race division. French soccer is probably dead over the long run because people are watching less and less.
