Israel's health ministry is directly complicit in Israel's systematic torture of Palestinians that the army abducts and stashes in concentration camps.
A doctor in Sde Teiman reacts to the whistleblower doctor's plea to end torture that results in forced amputations in the concentration camp. I'll leave the translation here for you to ponder bad Holocaust analogies and bad-faith reading comprehension. archive.is/wO7Qy#selectio…
I've already pointed to the systemic top-down culpability of Israel's Health Ministry. I'll add that already in Dec it issued work protocols in Sde Teiman, which it identifies as a "medical facility" & the patients as "illegal combatants". Let's examine👇 e-med.co.il/news/2023/12/2…
I read this @nytimes article so you don’t have too👇🧵
The first observation to make is about this rather bland title, burying the lead: Israel’s torture, sexual violence, and rape, which it committs systematically in the Sde Teiman concentration camp. archive.is/GQG3F
The 3400 words that @AdalahNY is referring to are often spent making excuses for why these abducted civilians had to be stripped, beaten, and tortured. It’s done so many times throughout the text that I’ll only include a few examples.
Fadi, you see, could have been KHamaaas.
While ambulance driver, Muhammad Al-Kurdi, could have also been KHamaaas. And really complete strip searches in public, leaving you naked while beating you, and then cramming you naked with other victims into a small space, is necessary to confirm that you’re unarmed.
60 CALLS, $5 MILLION LOBBYING BLITZ: HOW PAKISTAN BEGGED WASHINGTON TO STOP OP SINDOOR
New U.S. filings show India's Operation Sindoor rattled Pakistan, triggering panic diplomacy in Washington.
Fresh FARA disclosures reveal Pakistan launched an extraordinary lobbying blitz after Operation Sindoor in May 2025, spending nearly $5 million to access the Trump administration and pause India's military response.
Pakistani diplomats and lobbyists made approximately 60 outreach attempts through emails, calls, texts, and in-person meetings targeting Congress, Pentagon, State Department, White House, and major U.S. media.
¿Sabías que el coche no conquistó las ciudades por ser mejor, sino porque tres gigantes empresariales destruyeron el transporte público en Estados Unidos? Compraron redes enteras de tranvías, las desmantelaron y nos obligaron a usar gasolina. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Vámonos a la década de 1920 en Estados Unidos. Ciudades como Los Ángeles poseían el sistema de transporte público eléctrico más grande y eficiente del mundo. Los famosos tranvías "Red Cars" tenían más de 1.500 kilómetros de vías perfectamente conectadas y dimensionadas.
Era un sistema absolutamente brillante con el que millones de ciudadanos se movían a diario de forma silenciosa, puntual y sin emitir humo. No necesitabas comprar un vehículo privado para ir al trabajo o a la playa, porque el transporte público era el auténtico rey de la ciudad.
The Italians I know rarely spend their weekends in the hotspot cities.
Not Florence. Not Rome. Not Siena. They drive an hour east, or south, to towns no foreign list ever mentions.
Central Italy is the most concentrated cluster of beauty in the world.
9 underrated towns where the piazza is yours, the trattoria is real, and the Renaissance still feels personal.
🧵
Four things I screen for, in order:
1. Cultural depth. A fresco, piazza, festival, ruin you can't see anywhere else. 2. Real life. Bakeries, schools, doctors. Not a film set rented out from May to October. 3. "Beauty without the crush". Visitable in August without August ruining it. 4. Accessibility. Reachable from Rome, Florence, Bologna, or Ancona without a four-hour ordeal.
San Gimignano is gorgeous. Left it off. Fails the last two. Same for Assisi on a weekend in May (I've been there).
Three Marche, two Umbria, two Tuscany, two Lazio. Two nights minimum per town. Anything less and you miss the tempo.
This is mostly a travel list, but a few of these towns are also genuinely livable year-round.
Let's begin.
1/ Ascoli Piceno (Marche)
Population 47,000.
Piazza del Popolo is one of the three most beautiful squares in Italy. The only one most foreigners have never heard of. Travertine paving so polished it mirrors the sky on a wet morning. Renaissance arcades on three sides. Caffè Meletti, an Art Nouveau bar untouched since 1907, on the fourth.
Two rivers wrap the historic center. Over a hundred medieval towers once stood here; about fifty are still visible. More towers than San Gimignano, in a town six times the size that doesn't make a tourist industry of them.
Train from Rome 3h30, from Ancona 1h30 by car. Best base: a small hotel inside the centro storico. You walk everywhere.
Eat olive all'ascolana, the fried stuffed olives invented here. The version at Migliori, on Piazza Arringo, is the original.
I've taken five different friends here. Not one of them had heard of Ascoli before. All five came back.
PREGUNTA DE TU GESTOR: "¿qué hacemos con los 150.000€ de beneficio este año?"
la mayoría de empresarios dicen: "págame dividendos. es mi dinero."
LA RESPUESTA GANADORA:
deja de disculparte por no saber de fiscalidad avanzada.
empieza a estructurar como el empresario que ya eres.
aquí hay 10 trampas fiscales en las que caen el 90% de los empresarios con varias SLs, y cómo evitar cada una:
↓↓↓
1. la trampa de los "dividendos directos"
situación: sacas el beneficio de las SLs como dividendo.
pagas hasta un 30% de IRPF. piensas que es lo normal porque tu gestor nunca te ha dicho otra cosa.
sistema: creas una holding por encima de tu SL operativa. los dividendos suben de la filial a la holding con un 95% exentos vía artículo 21 LIS. tributas sobre el 5% restante. tipo efectivo real: 1,25%.
por qué funciona: el dinero se queda dentro del grupo empresarial. crece, se reinvierte y se protege. hacienda solo toca cuando tú lo sacas a tu persona física.
🧵In July 2024 I broke news that the BMA was planning to vote on a motion to "disavow" the Cass Review & work with others to oppose implementation of its recommendations. Nearly two years' later, the union has officially dropped its opposition, after conducting its own review.
This followed backlash from members, including resignations. Today, 18 months after it was due, the BMA review's lead author told The Times, Cass had been “vindicated in the way she approached the data” & the union did not oppose a single recommendation
However, division endures. BMJ reports that while the report concluded evidence base for puberty suppression & hormones is "limited and uncertain", the BMA remains critical of Gov's response to Cass, e.g. the decision to ban puberty blockers for under 18s. bmj.com/content/393/bm…
Seit einem Jahr ist Friedrich Merz Bundeskanzler.
Mehr als 80% der Bevölkerung sind mit seinen Leistungen unzufrieden.
Viele Journalisten kritisieren die herablassende Art seiner Kommunikation.
Mein Hauptgrund ist ein anderer: Merz fehlt ein grundlegendes Technik-Verständnis. 1/4
2/ Deutschland lebt von Erfindungen, Patenten und guten Industrieprodukten. Ein guter Kanzler müsste eine sehr gute Vorstellung davon haben, mit welchen Produkten und Dienstleistungen wir als Industrienation in Zukunft Geld verdienen wollen.
Genau auf diesem Feld versagt Merz.
3/ Mit PV-Systemen und Windkraft erzeugen wir elektrische Energie. Wir brauchen starke Stromnetze, viele Großspeicher, Ladestationen, E-Autos, E-LKWs, Wärmepumpen, Smart Meter, aber keine neuen Ölheizungen im Keller, keine neuen Atomkraftwerke, sondern ein Endlager für CASTORen.
#SupremeCourt to hear plea challenging law providing that selection panel for appointing Election Commissioners will consist of the Prime Minister, a Union Cabinet Minister, and the Leader of Opposition.
Bench: Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma.
The petitioners have argued that the law violates constitutional principles affirmed by the Supreme Court in Anoop Baranwal v. UoI judgement, which provided for a selection panel comprising the Chief Justice of India apart from PM and LoP. livelaw.in/top-stories/su…
Yesterday, the Court rejected Centre's plea to adjourn the matter and began hearing arguments, orally observing that this case is more important than any other. livelaw.in/top-stories/th…
That's my niece on the right. As much as I am, she too follows the bloodline of #SyamaPrasadMookerjee. Her husband (Retd) Major Ritwick Paul's only mistake was to stand for election against Kalyan Banerjee in 2021. Do you remember how cold it was in December? He spent 15 days 1/2
2/3 nights are Serampore prison. Anyone else wouldve come out broken but he didn't. His political career was destroyed because he wanted to fight for honesty & righteousness. It was Twitter those days. I tweeted. My handle got banned. Everyone was sacred to tweet but @subhsays
@subhsays 3/3 stood his ground. TMC hounded Subham, threatened him, sent him notices. He never barged. Just a stark reminder to everyone that we've come a long way & @SuvenduWB was always stood by his team.
💥Брянськ та Брянська область біля півночі протягом близько 20 хвилин місцеві мешканці повідомляли про серію вибухів у різних районах міста та передмісті. Фіксувалась активна робота ППО, спалахи в небі та звук двигунів БПЛА. 🤷За заявою ⬇️
губернатора Богомаза, у Бежицькому районі поранено щонайменше 13 людей, серед них дитина. Пошкоджено два багатоквартирні будинки, понад 20 квартир та близько 40 автомобілів.
💥Таганрог, Ростовська область. Зафіксовано щонайменше п’ять вибухів. У місті лунала сирена ⬇️
повітряної тривоги. Російська ППО працювала по безпілотниках. Місцева влада була змушена вперше офіційно просити населення пройти в укриття.
💥Тула та Тульська область. Після 02:40 ночі мешканці повідомляли про понад п’ять вибухів у південній та південно-західній частині ⬇️
Запорожская область. На Камышевахском направлении идут позиционные бои без существенных изменений по ЛБС. Основные усилия противника направлены на удержание позиций в Приморском и Степногорске.
На Ореховском участке российские войска наносят удары по Орехову, Белогорью и ⬇️
соседним населённым пунктам. Несмотря на рапорты российских сил о захвате Белогорья еще 11 января, по нему продолжают наноситься удары, что подтверждает отсутствие полного контроля.
На Гуляйпольском направлении обстановка обострилась: зафиксировано ⬇️
увеличение числа авиаударов и атак БПЛА. Цель противника — прорыв к Гуляйпольскому и Воздвижевке.
Um Olhar para Inteligência Artificial (IA)
By Dan Kawa

A indicação de que um "acordo de paz" estrutural entre EUA e Irã estaria para ser assinado levou a uma rodada de otimismo, com o petróleo caindo em torno de 7%, levando a ma queda das taxas de juros globais, alta das bolsas e dólar forte no mundo.
No campo de política monetária, o Norges Bank (Banco Central da Noruega) se tornou o terceiro banco central do G10 a elevar os juros neste ciclo, depois do Banco do Japão (BoJ) e do Banco Central da Austrália (RBA). Isso mostra que alguns países desenvolvidos começaram a voltar a subir juros após um período de cortes ou estabilidade. Sinaliza que o processo global de afrouxamento monetário pode ser menos linear e mais cauteloso do que o mercado imaginava, especialmente com a alta no petróleo.
A Inteligência Artificial voltou a ser um dos grandes temas de mercado, com algumas cestas de ações do setor (vide abaixo) subindo exponencialmente este ano e, em especial, desde fins de março. Assim, vale aqui olharmos alguns debate referentes a este tema.
Pétitions pour que Kylian Mbappé "Reste" (faite par un français, fan de CR7) ou "Quitte" (faite initialement par des supporters de Madrid, mais elle aussi, sans contrôle et truquée : votes multiples) le Real Madrid.
"Racisme" dira MBappé encore… Ou tempérament problématique comme le faisait comprendre Enrique : « Je préfère avoir 4 joueurs capables de marquer au moins 12 buts chacun, plutôt qu’un seul joueur qui veut en marquer plus de 40 ».
2/4
Ha non, c'est vrai, le "racisme, c'est que en France" ; suffit de voir l'EdF comparée à celle d'Espagne, Italie, Allemagne, Portugal, Angleterre, Belgique…
