Japan is set to be the model for integrating crypto into a “public private partnership” for the rest of Asia!
Japan is set to approve its first domestically issued yen-pegged stablecoin JPYC this fall.
This approval was secured by SBI VC Trade, a subsidiary of the SBI Holdings.

It’s emphasized that this “innovation” will facilitate “financial transparency”. A lot of buzzwords for fascism + surveillance.
A very similar model of a central bank baked coin was beta tested by Medici in the Caribbean. The formula has just been tweaked for the Japanese.

This is really nothing new. People are upset here because the forced morality inserts here, but overwriting, making shit up, altering personalities, removing 'problematic' lore etc all these things extremely common. And it's not just English. Localizers are doing it for decades.
Also, why troons have always 'baby' in company names or group names?
Rhetorical question ofc.
This is the lolcalization studio who handles this localization btw it if wasn't clear enough.

J'ai regardé le documentaire "Le bus, les bleus en grève". Je suis abasourdi de la violence raciste avec laquelle cette grève a été réprimée.

Le 1er est évidemment Raymond Domenech. L'ancien sélectionneur apparaît comme un homme incompétent, bête, lâche, raciste, autoritariste, orgueilleux et rancunier.
Cet homme n'aurait jamais dû être à la tête du moindre collectif. Voici un best-off de son ignominie.

Raymond Domenech est une pourriture.
Alors qu'il a balancé son équipe sous le bus. Alors qu'il s'est précipité pour sauver sa peau en jetant ses joueurs aux lions. Il se voit encore comme la victime.
Ses tentatives d'accusation victimaire sont pathétiques.

Ayer recibí los dos informes de la UDEF sobre Zapatero, como me imagino le ha pasado a media España.
He hecho como Rufián el otro día y apenas he dormido leyendo todo por aclararme.
Como los medios sacan noticia por noticia para ganar clicks… he decidido ordenar las ideas y hacer un hilo completo sobre el caso.
El informe 1907 (186 páginas) reconstruye la estructura: quién es quién en la red, qué sociedades controlan, por dónde se mueve el dinero, dónde acaba y qué papel juega cada implicado. Es la radiografía societaria y financiera.
El informe 1908 (158 páginas) reconstruye la cronología: ordena por fecha los mensajes de WhatsApp, correos electrónicos, llamadas y reuniones recuperados del móvil de Rodolfo Reyes y de los demás dispositivos intervenidos. Es el guion temporal del caso.
Uno te explica el cómo y el cuánto, el otro te explica el cuándo y el con quién.
Por eso, a lo largo del hilo, las capturas alternan entre los dos: cuando se cita un mensaje concreto (una frase, una hora, un día), la fuente es casi siempre el 1908; cuando se cita una conclusión policial, una titularidad societaria o un flujo de dinero, la fuente es el 1907.
Abrochaos los cinturones… que empezamos.🧵

Lo primero, la frase clave del informe, literal en las conclusiones: “una red organizada (…) liderada y basada en los contactos de José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero”.
Un expresidente del Gobierno señalado por la policía como cabeza de una organización criminal.
En España no había pasado nunca, aunque alguno de la sincronizada o de Radio Televisión Espantosa esté hablando de Felipe, Aznar o citando lo de de M. Rajoy, un apunte falso de Bárcenas.
El caso es por el rescate de 53 millones que la SEPI le dio a Plus Ultra en marzo de 2021.
Una aerolínea con una flota reducidísima (la propia UDEF dice que en algún momento llegó a operar con un solo avión), un 0,03% de cuota en rutas España-Iberoamérica, deuda pendiente con la Seguridad Social y dueños venezolanos a los que Estados Unidos estaba investigando por blanqueo.
Sobre el papel, era la última empresa del país que tenía que haber sido rescatada, y por tanto haber cobrado ese dinero.
Lo que documentan los informes es cómo.
La respuesta tiene muchas capas de profundidad, y merece la pena detallar todo bien.

Ya lo habréis leído pero conviene poner algo negro sobre blanco: si tenemos información, es gracias a Estados Unidos.
En 2021, el HSI —que es la rama investigativa del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional norteamericano, una especie de FBI especializado en delitos económicos transnacionales— estaba investigando a un ciudadano venezolano residente en Madrid, Rodolfo Reyes Rojas, por blanqueo y por evasión de sanciones americanas a través de empresas pantalla.
Una de esas empresas era Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas.
Como parte de esa investigación, los americanos hicieron una extracción forense del móvil de Reyes. Y cuando vieron lo que había dentro, hicieron dos cosas.
Pidieron las autorizaciones judiciales que tocaba para compartir esa prueba con otro país, y se la entregaron a la UDEF para que pudiera sostener cargos penales aquí.
Esa entrega es lo que abre las diligencias 77/24 ante el Tribunal Central de Instancia número 2.
Sin ese móvil no hay nada. No hay “vamos a follar aunque tengamos que pagar un poquitín”, no hay “nuestro pana Zapatero detrás”, no hay listas de clientes por WhatsApp, no hay “finance boutique”.
El caso no existiría. Los entrecomillados son reales del informe.
Y conviene parar un segundo a pensar lo que eso significa. Ha tenido que ser una agencia extranjera la que entregue, en bandeja, las pruebas necesarias para abrir una investigación sobre un expresidente del Gobierno español.
La policía española, los tribunales, los organismos antifraude, la propia SEPI: todos tenían a Plus Ultra delante durante años.
No sé si fue por incapacidad técnica, que ya me parecería un problema. O si fue por falta de voluntad institucional, que sería otro mucho más grande.

A male bee mates for less than 5 seconds in midair. The ejaculation is so explosive you can hear it pop from a few feet away. His body rips in half. He falls dead before hitting the ground. And he is one of the lucky males in the hive.
When a male bee, called a drone, chases down a queen mid-flight at speeds of 22 miles per hour, his entire reproductive organ turns inside out. The pressure required for this comes from nearly all the blood in his body, which rushes downward to force the organ outward like a spring. The semen fires into the queen with so much force it makes the audible pop. The organ then snaps off and stays lodged inside her like a cork. As he flips backward off her body, his abdomen rips open. The next drone waiting his turn has to physically yank out the dead male's cork before he can mate. The same thing then happens to him.
The queen does this 12 to 20 times in a single afternoon. She flies up to a spot in the sky that beekeepers call a drone congregation area. Picture an invisible meeting point about 50 to 130 feet above the ground where up to 11,000 male bees from as many as 240 different hives are hovering, waiting for her. These spots stay in the exact same locations year after year, sometimes for over a decade. No one fully understands how brand new drones, born only weeks earlier, find them.
By the end of her mating run, the queen has collected around 100 million sperm cells. She keeps only 5 to 6 million in a tiny internal storage organ that keeps them alive for years. From that supply, she uses just two sperm cells per egg for the rest of her life, laying up to 2,000 eggs a day for 2 to 7 years. After that one afternoon in the sky, she will never mate again.
A 2019 study from UC Riverside, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Western Australia found that bee semen contains toxic proteins that temporarily blind the queen by interfering with how vision genes function in her brain. If she can't see well, she can't fly out again to mate with more males. Their semen also carries a separate protein that attacks and kills sperm cells from rival drones still inside her. The males keep competing long after every one of them is dead.
The 99.9% of drones who never get to mate have it worse. As autumn arrives, the female worker bees in the hive stop feeding their brothers, then drag them out of the entrance after biting off their wings. The drones can't fly back in. They starve or freeze in the grass within days. The colony raises a fresh batch of disposable males the next spring, and the whole cycle starts over.

Part 2. When a baby queen bee chews her way out of her cell, the very first thing she does is hunt down her sleeping sisters and sting them to death, one by one, often before they have even hatched. She is less than a day old. This is how every queen in every honeybee hive on Earth begins her life.
The queen and every worker bee in her hive share the exact same DNA. They are genetic twins. The only thing that turns one fertilized egg into a queen and another into a worker is what the baby gets fed in its first few days of life. Larvae chosen for the throne are flooded with royal jelly, a milky substance secreted from glands in the heads of nurse bees. It contains a fatty acid (10-HDA) that flips chemical switches inside the larva's cells, turning on a different set of genes without changing the underlying DNA. This entire field of biology, where diet rewires which genes activate, exists partly because scientists were trying to figure out how honeybees pull this off.
A queen develops in just 16 days, faster than any other bee in the hive. She emerges with a smooth, curved stinger built specifically for killing other queens. Workers have barbed stingers that rip out and kill them after one sting. The queen's stinger is reusable. She walks the comb making a high-pitched piping sound that beekeepers can actually hear with their ear pressed to a hive. Her unhatched sisters, still trapped in their wax cells, pipe back. She uses the sound to find them, slices a hole in the side of each cell, and stings them through the wall.
Once she has killed everyone, she flies out once in her life to mate. Then she returns to the hive and never leaves it again for 2 to 5 years. She lays up to 2,000 eggs a day, more than her own body weight every 24 hours, sometimes over a million eggs total in her lifetime. The whole time, she leaks scent chemicals from glands in her face that drift through the hive on the bodies of workers grooming her. Those chemicals chemically castrate her daughters, shutting down their ovaries so they cannot lay eggs of their own. The worker bees around her live just 6 weeks in summer. She lives 20 to 40 times longer.
She is not actually in charge of anything. The workers run the colony. The moment her egg-laying drops or her scent chemicals weaken (which happens if she gets infected with a virus or simply ages), the workers vote her out. They start building emergency queen cells, raise replacements, then murder her. The execution method is called "balling." 15 to 50 worker bees pile on top of her in a tight ball and use their own body heat to cook her alive from the inside. In commercial American beehives, over half of queens get replaced within 6 months. The mother of the entire colony is disposable the second she stops producing.
The new queen then chews her way out, kills her sisters, mates once, and the cycle starts again. A honeybee colony is not really ruled by a queen at all. It is a 50,000-female democracy that grows its own monarchs the way humans grow vegetables, then composts them when they wilt.

(1/20) Sorry Miftah sb but you are factually wrong and we have solid data that clearly indicates that your entire assertion is factually flawed.
You have raised important points however they deserve a factual and technical clarification as much of the claim is flawed.

(2/20) First, it is important to clarify that Pakistan’s dependable generation capacity is not 40,000 MW. The dependable capacity is closer to approximately 33,000 MW. Even within this dependable capacity, not all generation sources remain available throughout the year.
(3/20) For example, hydropower generation significantly reduces during winter due to lower water availability, solar generation is naturally unavailable during nighttime hours, and wind generation varies seasonally depending upon wind patterns.

Here are 22 professional alternatives you can steal:
Here are 22 professional alternatives you can steal:
1. The "Validation" Trap
Situation: You finish a pitch and ask, "Does that make sense?" You assume you are being collaborative. You treat the meeting like a classroom where you are hoping for a passing grade from the teacher. You want them to nod and validate your hard work.
System: Realize the corporate hierarchy feeds on uncertainty. By asking for validation, you actively undermine your own authority. You hand the power dynamic directly to the listener. You are telling them, "I am not entirely sure about what I just said, please tell me I am right." The machine will use this hesitation to stall your projects.
The Corporate Translation: "I need you to approve my thinking because I do not trust my own data."
Why it works: Saying "What questions do you have before we move to the next phase?" assumes total competence. It shifts the burden of comprehension onto them. You dictate the pace of the execution. You stop acting like a student and start acting like a director.
Stop begging for approval. Command the room.

2. The "Desperate Check-in" Trap
Situation: You email a recruiter or client, "Just checking in on my application/proposal." You assume you are showing proactive eagerness. You treat the process like a personal favor you are anxiously waiting to receive. You refresh your inbox every hour.
System: Realize the corporate ecosystem is a bureaucratic machine running on automated priorities. Your emotional anxiety is completely irrelevant to their operational bottlenecks. When you "check in," they smell the desperation. You signal that you have no other options, no competing offers, and infinite time to wait on their decision.
The Corporate Translation: "I have zero leverage and will accept whatever timeline you dictate."
Why it works: Saying "Checking if the timeline or scope of the position has shifted" forces a structural update. You act like a peer evaluating a business deal. It implies that if their timeline shifts too far, you might withdraw your availability.
Stop checking in. Force the update.

En un expediente judicial de un caso civil en Miami hay varios documentos que prueban que el candidato @ABDELAESPRIELLA se benefició de 3 transferencias de empresas de Alex Saab usadas para saquear al pueblo venezolano
El primer documento es una carta firmada por @ABDELAESPRIELLA en donde afirma que él efectuó las trasferencias por más de 370 mil dólares
Esas trasferencias provienen de las compañías Group Grand Limited, usada para vender 350 millones de dólares en alimentos en mal estado para el programa CLAP; y Consorcio Estructuras Metálicas, usada para la defraudación de 700 millones de dólares en programas de vivienda
