Nous invoquons les fantômes de nos aïeux pour mieux condamner nos contemporains. Des voix s’élèvent pour rappeler le passé et entretenir la mauvaise conscience des peuples.
L’hypermnésie est une maladie dont nous souffrons, alors rappelons les vertus de l’oubli. 🧶
Des procureurs s’improvisent historiens. Ils s’intéressent au passé moins pour comprendre que pour accuser, et espèrent trouver la gloire qui leur manque en combattant les injustices d’autrefois. Ils se battent contre des statues comme Don Quichotte se battait contre des moulins.
«J’ai raté les Juifs persécutés que l’on pouvait traiter d’égal à égal, avec noblesse, les Noirs lorsqu’ils étaient inférieurs, les Arabes lorsqu’ils étaient encore des bicots, il n’y a plus d’ouverture pour la générosité. Il n’y a plus moyen de s’ennoblir » écrit Romain Gary (1)
What is the DIFFERENCE between H1N1 and H5N1?
Are those who have been EXPOSED to the different H1N1 PROTECTED against H5N1?
H1N1 (swine flu) and H5N1 (avian flu) are both Influenza viruses. They have a symbol in common "N1"
2) N1 refers to Neuraminidase protein which is involved in the release of newly formed virus particles from infected cells.
The symbol H* which is different (H5, H1) refers to Hemagglutinin protein, which plays a crucial role in the attachment of the virus to host cells ...
3) ...and is a major determinant of viral infectivity and host range.
In summary, "H" is responsible for virus entry, while "N" facilitates virus spread.
The experts will forgive me this analogy but "H" is the equivalent of Spike for SARS-COV-2.
1/
It didn’t begin with gunfire.
It began with silence - a war hidden in plain sight.
While the world chased headlines,
an invisible system was quietly rewritten.
Not with soldiers, but with strategists.
Not with bombs, but with data, frequency, and law.
They told you peace had returned,
but a new kind of warfare had already begun -
one fought inside every screen, system, and soul.
Let’s continue…🧵👇🏼
2/ To free humanity from invisible control,
you can’t just destroy the enemy -
you must dismantle their systems of perception.
This was never about politics.
It was about reality itself - who builds it, who controls it, and who profits from the illusion.
The architects of deceit were masters of narrative.
So the counterstrike had to be the same - silent, precise, psychological, divine in patience.
3/ You don’t fight a war like this with tanks.
You fight it with symbols, information, and light.
Every leak, every “mistake,” every reversal was part of a silent script.
The purpose wasn’t chaos - it was calibration.
They knew the truth couldn’t be forced.
It had to be discovered.
When humanity discovers truth instead of being told it,
it becomes permanent.
In this thread I’ll go over a general overview of the Virginia a class SSN came to be and its evolution into the backbone of USN submarine force . (1/n)
Post-Cold War Genesis & Strategic Pivot
The Virginia story begins with a failure: the Seawolf class (SSN-21). Designed in the late 1980s to counter Soviet Akulas under Arctic ice, Seawolf was a revolutionary much more quieter than Los Angeles class, capable of 35+ knots, deeper diving, and armed for under-ice battles.
Price tag: $3–3.5B per boat (1990s).
Planned: 29 boats.
Actual: 3.
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Congress killed Seawolf’s mass production due to high costs .
The Navy immediately launched the Centurion Study (1991) to design a cheaper, modular, multi-role successor that could survive the new budget reality while preparing for emergent littoral conflicts. This would eventually become the New SSN (NSSN)—the Virginia. (2/n)
Design Philosophy & Requirements
Virginia shifted from Seawolf design philosophy.
Instead of pure hunter killer Virginia focused on:
Affordability
Modularity
Stealth ( P.s I have heard despite the rumors Virginia had same stealth requirements as Seawolf so it operates around same level of quietness )
ISR & SOF support (SEA/SEAL mission flexibility)
Land attack capability (Tomahawks baseline)
COTS electronics to cut costs and simplify maintenance
Virginia also became the first US warship designed in 3D software using CAD etc.

1) This study from Cornell University tested more than 6000 proteins before and after two exercise tests.
It found altered patterns in ME/CFS patients compared to controls, particularly in proteins involved in the immune system, signal transduction, and muscle contraction.
2) The study included 79 ME/CFS patients (selected using the Canadian criteria) and 53 controls. Participants underwent 2 exercise tests, and samples were collected at 5 different time points before and between these tests.
3) At baseline, no protein was significantly different between patients and controls.
The most interesting results were found, not immediately after the first or second exercise test, but after a 24-hour recovery period following the first exercise.
Mania was originally described as a state of euphoria, though today purely euphoric mania seems increasingly rare. Most cases of hospitalized mania seem to be some combination of irritability, paranoia, and brief periods of euphoria. But sometimes not at all. (1/3)
Today, irritable/dysphoric states are more common than grandiose/euphoric states. Yes, even before individuals are hospitalized, and yes even in those not treated with medications or using substances.
Why? Who knows. There are many theories floating that range from spiritual..
To substance use, to the worsening American diet, to widespread use of antidepressants, and of course, blaming the increasingly alien urban environment.
Suomennorjalainen vähemmistö on:
- genealogisesti jäljitettävä,
- historiallisesti rajattu,
- ammattikulttuurillisesti yhtenäinen,
- kielessä täysin sulautunut,
- identiteetiltään hiljainen,
- vailla poliittisia tavoitteita,
mutta silti selkeästi erottuva vähemmistö.
Norjalaiset integroituvat Suomeen erityisen hyvin, koska:
- Kulttuurinen etäisyys on pieni
- tulivat osaamiseen perustuvien ammattien kautta
- eivät muodosta etnisiä ryhmiä tai klaaneja
- sopivat suomalaiseen individualistiseen yhteiskuntarakenteeseen
MAGA had a good run for 10 years. It's replacement by the America First movement is a very healthy sign.
What we're seeing in action is what was described in the thread below from 2.5 years ago - the Overton Window is being dragged Right. 1/ x.com/SaysSimulation…x.com/SaysSimulation…
Trump did many good things over the years, and I appreciate that. He still needs our support in a number of areas including ICE, deportations & working to end DEI.
But, we're finding out that for Trump, America is a propositional nation, and heritage Americans are unimportant
2/
Trump appears to be fine with flooding America with Chinese & Indian nationals, to take the jobs that will now not be going to us or our children. Indeed, he views it as his prerogative as head of the US & MAGA to strike those deals with the leaders of China & India.

A year and a half ago, in April 2024, I warned (the section is highlighted in the auto-translated text) that aid to Ukraine would continue to dwindle, and that without proper changes we would find ourselves in a poor position. What we’re seeing now was set in motion a while ago.
2/ Besides Europe, which I was mostly addressing in that post, Ukraine has also fallen short, mainly in strategic-level organization, despite several successes such as expanding and deploying unmanned forces and improving long-range strikes that have hurt the Russian economy.
3/ The winning strategy, as my team outlined after the 2023 counteroffensive, can be summed up as “stall the enemy while destroying the rear,” meaning inflict maximum socio-economic damage while preventing the enemy from making real gains and making the war plainly too costly.
🧵On Monday the UNSC votes on the “refined” Gaza plan. But Rev 2 isn’t a fix—it’s Washington appeasing the Arab League & ignoring Israel’s needs. The original draft already threatened Israel’s security, the new draft goes even further, including a "path" to a "Palestinian State"
Paragraph 1 adds one quiet clause—“including maintenance of the ceasefire.” It looks harmless, but it transforms the mission from reconstruction to enforcing a ceasefire Israel must obey even if Hamas violates it, leaving Israel tied to a one-sided truce policed by hostile forces
Paragraph 2 is the most radical rewrite. Rev 2 deletes the requirement that PA reform be “acceptable to the BoP and Israel” and replaces it with a sweeping political program and an explicit pathway to Palestinian statehood—far beyond a transitional Gaza plan.
🧵: The US will not be able to reshore, rebuild its grid, & will lose the AI race & great power competition v. China unless US skilled trades & engineers receive positive real wage growth v. essentials like housing, healthcare, college, etc.
The US will lose if👇continues. 1/
2/ And I'm not talking about the 2-3% official CPI rate that even former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers noted in early 2024 is total bullsh*t:
Tbh I think if someone fr wants to learn malware development you shouldn't even begin studying malware techniques
You should focus on things that interact with the OS, like file creation (and all the silly quirks of it on Windows), working with the registry, file system enumeration, basic networking stuff (WinHTTP vs WinInet vs WinSocks vs IpHelper).
Having a good understanding of these will make life a lot easier
Then when you feel really really comfortable and do silly stuff like that, then slowly introduce some malware stuff because a lot of malware stuff is just abusing the concepts described above
Also probably explore the Windows API and all the weird shit inside of it that isn't documented well. I also recommend reviewing ReactOS source code to get an understanding of what's going on under the hood
ReactOS isn't 1-1, but it's close enough
Windows unironically has a fuckin bazillion different ways to make files and work with them. Even understanding all of these different ways can be super beneficial
If I had the time, energy patience, and anime, i could make like a fucking 2 hour long documentary on YouTube just discussing file creation on Windows (from the user mode side)
