PORNOGRAPHIE EN ISLAM : 🧵⬇️

La pornographie représente un danger pour la Foi. Elle est extrêmement malsaine pour les âmes et les esprits. Et le majeur soucis c’est que vous devenez tellement insensible à ce que vous faites que vous ne réalisez pas le mal que cela vous fera dans le présent et dans le futur.

Le porno est une dépendance! C’est une véritable plaie pour l’état des cœurs. Nous ne pouvons plus nier les ravages que l’impudeur et les obscénités dû au désastre de la pornographie provoque comme désespoir sur les âmes de ceux qui sont pris dans ses filets.

I am recreating this thread for the record. From 11/20/24; was deleted last week when twitter deleted my account. This thread is information supporting the fact that the election was most likely hacked by trump and musk. Please do not dismiss that if you haven't seen this info.

Quick🧵on why calls for an election investigation & recount are growing. Important information.

Starts w/ Trump's team gaining access to & copying sensitive data from voting equipment in Georgia, Michigan, & Nevada. Proven in court in '22. Per Wash Post: washingtonpost.com/investigations…

The effort was secretive, multistate, broad, organized & successful.

Subpoenaed documents confirm Trump's team copied voting machine data.

Attorney for the plaintiffs (voting-security activists & GA voters): “Breach is way beyond what we thought. Scope of it is mind-blowing.”

GLP-1 is often framed as a drug target—but it’s first a physiologic gut hormone, released in short pulses when nutrients reach distal L-cells. This thread explains how modern diets silence that system—and how endogenous GLP-1 signaling can be restored. 🧵👇

1/ GLP-1 isn’t just a drug target. It’s a native gut hormone designed to be released in short pulses when nutrients reach distal intestinal L-cells. Modern ultra-processed diets short-circuit this system.

📚 Incretin effect (Nauck et al.)

2/ Key insight: L-cells live mainly in the distal ileum & colon. Rapidly absorbed foods never reach them → calories consumed without satiety signaling. The body interprets this as ongoing energy scarcity.

Geolocation #336: Rafah Crossing, Two Years Later
معبر رفح، ما بين 2024 و 2026

New satellite images posted by Maxar via Vantor of ambulances lining up on February 3 at the Egyptian side of Rafah crossing.

Rafah crossing today has most of it structures destroyed including the main departure hall that was burnt down when Israeli forces invaded the area on May 7, 2024 .. one day after Rafah invasion started.

On the other hand, 2 new sites were added by Israel representing the functional part of the crossing from the Palestinian side. These installments were previously geolocated on February 3, 2025 and apparently improved since:

Always hilarious to read China's transcripts of Trump-Xi calls because you can always find these incredibly sophisticated classical Chinese references with layers of implied meaning that you just know completely went over Trump's head.

It's like Xi is speaking to Trump as if addressing a fellow scholar of classical statecraft and the guy is like "so we're doing 25 Million Tons of soybeans for next season, that's a lot of beans folks!"

This time it's particularly funny because the Chinese transcript (fmprc.gov.cn/eng/xw/zyxw/20…) has Xi telling Trump: "It is always right to do a good thing, however small, and always wrong to do a bad thing, however small."

This proverb might not sound like much but it's actually extremely meaningful when you understand the reference.

Those are in fact the parting words of Liu Bei, the legendary emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era, to his son and heir Liu Shan right before dying. The original text is this:

"Do not do a bad thing because it is small; do not neglect a good thing because it is small. Only through wisdom and virtue can one earn the allegiance of others." ("勿以恶小而为之，勿以善小而不为。惟贤惟德，能服于人" - Wù yǐ è xiǎo ér wéi zhī, wù yǐ shàn xiǎo ér bù wéi. Wéi xián wéi dé, néng fú yú rén)

Why did he say this? Two reasons:

1) Because his son Liu Shan was notoriously mediocre in ability and weak in character. The meaning is basically: I don't ask you to be brilliant but at least please maintain basic moral standards because the stakes are too high.

2) The Kingdom - Shu Han - had very unstable foundations, beset by threats both internal and external. Internally, national strength was severely depleted and popular confidence shaken by military defeat. Externally, the powerful states of Wei and Wu (the other 2 kingdoms of the "Three Kingdoms") loomed. Liu Bei, who had risen from nothing through benevolence and moral authority, knew that if his heir couldn't at least hold the line on basic decency, the whole edifice would crumble.

The outcome, as you'd expect, was that what his father told him completely went over Liu Shan's head. Shu Han collapsed.

Liu Shan's nickname was "Adou" (阿斗) and, to this day, his name is synonymous with hopeless incompetence with the very famous idiom "Adou who cannot be propped up" ("扶不起的阿斗", Fú bù qǐ de ādǒu). When you tell someone in China that he is an "Adou", it's very insulting.

Now, to be fair, even most Chinese wouldn't get this reference from the transcript. To most of them, "It is always right to do a good thing, however small, and always wrong to do a bad thing, however small" is just an idiom. Which is of course meaningful in and of itself when Xi tells this to Trump: it is used in daily life as a way of telling someone to maintain basic decency.

But for those who catch the historical reference it's devastatingly precise. Let's just say Xi's speechwriters earned their salary on this one 😏

I have been interviewing a number of regional military experts on significance of Turkey's deployment of three F-16 Vipers in Somalia and here is the gist of the broad consensus:

💠F-16s are powerful tools designed for sophisticated, conventional conflict. Lethal in degrading static enemy frontlines, assets, defences, installations. In rural and urban asymmetric warfare, where there is no fixed frontline, their efficacy 'highly circumscribed.' F-16s are labour intensive, medium-range, require more fuel, special runways. One expert says drones are cheaper, perhaps more effective and versatile than F-16s in the type of guerilla warfare now raging in Somalia.

💠As tools for interdicting unauthorised aircraft/deter airspace intrusion they could be effective, and are specially designed for 'dog fights.' But 3 F-16s cannot effectively police a large airspace, and even less enforce a 'no-fly zone.' That would require a larger fleet, a network of runways and logistical hubs to repair, refit, refuel, in addition to greater manpower.

💠The main purpose for the deployment of the F-16s is to respond quickly to specific conventional ground and aerial threats against specific strategic/key installations, troop positions. In tandem with helicopter gunships, F-16s can deliver massive kinetic force and with extraordinary speed.

Ukrainians on Threads are sharing moments from the war that broke them — moments they will carry for the rest of their lives.

This is the reality of war. This pain must be heard.

Below are translations.

1.“To fellow soldiers: is there something that broke you during the war? (No jokes)
I’ll start.

Shooting animals on your position because they expose it — meaning it’s either them, or you, because of them.” 💔

2.“You’re lying in a shallow trench, looking into the eyes of a wounded man five meters away, out on the street.

A drone is hanging above him, waiting — for someone to crawl out to him, or for him to try to crawl to cover.

And you both understand it. That’s why he doesn’t move.
He just lies there, bleeding, looking at me.

He died.
And I never managed to help him.”

3.“When permission is given to identify a body so the family won’t have to provide DNA — because all that remains is a burned fragment.

When you’re forced to leave in a hurry, animals scatter in panic and you can’t take them with you.

In the last five minutes, under explosions, you call out to them — but they stay hidden. And remain there forever.”

4.“When a pregnant wife of a fellow soldier — who happens to have your number — texts asking how her husband is, because he hasn’t been in touch for a day.

And ten minutes before her message, you already learned that her husband was torn apart by an artillery shell.

You look at the phone screen, powerless.”

5. “I’m a soldier’s sister. Sometimes my brother wouldn’t be in touch for three or four months. But his comrade Artur would message me once a week, saying my brother was alive, that everything was okay, that he was bringing them food to their positions.
I waited for those messages. I was deeply grateful to him for letting me know.
Then there were almost two months with no news. My brother finally got in touch.
Artur never did again.”

6. “My dad is at war. When my second child was born, he came home for a few days with two fellow soldiers.
He sat there, holding his newborn granddaughter in his arms.
Then someone called him. He stepped out of the room.
A few minutes later he came back completely different. Silent. He didn’t hold her again.
When he was leaving and saying goodbye, he said:
‘The three guys who arrived today to replace us… all three were killed at our position.’
I had never seen my father like that before.”

7. “When a man shоt himself because his wounds were too severe and he didn’t want to be a burden on the assault group — they were wounded too. Evacuation was impossible.
During the assault, he was wounded but stayed behind to cover the retreat and save his comrades.
The last words the guys heard from him were: ‘Slava Ukraini.’
These are stories from my brigade. We live in the time of real heroes.”

8. “I put my comrade into the car while he was still alive.
By the time I reached the medics, he was already gone.”

9. “This thread is unbearably painful.
My dad said the worst moment was back in 2022, when there were strikes on the airfield. They were trapped in a basement, unable to get out because a hangar above was on fire and the exit was blocked. They were waiting for firefighters.
While the fire was being put out, there was another strike. A firefighter was killed — a 22-year-old woman.
My dad’s words: ‘We came out, and there she was lying there — a girl, like my own child, even younger. She was trying to save us…’
The tears came on their own. Her poor parents.”

10. “A soldier’s mother crying over his almost empty coffin.”

11. “Once I was washing pieces of human brain out of a wounded soldier’s boot.
The brain belonged to his comrade.”

12. “During training, you look at the guys and realize that half of them won’t survive.
One of them had a daughter born two weeks before graduation. He wrote a request for leave — it was denied.
We took photos together and were sent to our units.
A week later, he was gone. He never saw his daughter.”
