Hoy vamos a viajar a las Rías Baixas para hablar no de uno, sino de dos Campeones Lineales de España: el Pontevedra Sporting Club ½ y el Pontevedra CF ✰✰½. De paso, descubriremos los inicios de la competición del fútbol galego. Image
Ría arriba, escondida en revuelta, frente a unas exuberantes marismas hay una ciudad milenaria. Histórico cruce de caminos del que da cuenta su Basílica Sta María la María y su Puente del Burgo. Una ciudad para pasear y disfrutar de su sopa de ostras, su tarta rusa, y su albariño Image

Como entró el fútbol en Pontevedra es un pequeño misterio. Se suele decir que es por contagio de Vigo. Sin embargo (y aunque en Vigo existía fútbol desde 1902) éste no empieza a ganar reconocimiento hasta 1904-05 cuando también encontramos las primeras menciones en Pontevedra. Image

ALERTE VÉRITÉ : ELON MUSK VIENT DE DIRE TOUT HAUT CE QUE TOUS LES FRANÇAIS PENSAIENT TOUT BAS !
Oui, les gars, il l’a fait.
Pendant que l’UE colle 120 millions d’amende à X parce que « pas assez transparent » (traduction : on veut fouiller partout), Elon balance la bombe : Image
« L’Union européenne doit être abolie et la souveraineté rendue aux pays. »
Et là, tout le monde en France fait : « …bah ouais, en réalité il a raison. »
Preuves concrètes que même ta grand-mère de Saint-Brieuc le sent dans ses tripes :
L’électricité qui coûte 4 fois plus cher
qu’avant « pour sauver la planète »
→ merci les normes bruxelloises, on crève de froid mais on est écolo sur le papier.
Ton tracteur qui doit passer au contrôle technique tous les ans alors qu’il a 30 ans
→ merci l’UE, les agriculteurs adorent payer 400 € pour qu’on leur

Most of the global collateral market is a workaround for not having direct access to central bank money.
But imagine giving households, firms, and institutions direct access to zero-interest Fed accounts.

I think we really need to keep bringing up these "big" discussions…
…we have big problems & everyone agrees that times are weird now anyway.
Some thoughts to get the ball rolling:
Trys would no longer be needed as the primary source of risk-free collateral. Repos, securities lending, & collateral trading could shrink; less transformation needed.
Rather than limited trys (dangerously) rehypothecating to back money-like claims, direct access to central bank $ could replace collateral chains, simplify the system & improve transparency- it could work w fewer synthetic safe assets, lower leverage, & simpler intermediation

Female Psychology Thread:

1.  Girls like toxic men more than nice guys. Image
2.  Girls sleep with men they respect.

A girl can hate you with all of her soul:

If she respects you, she'll still come over.
3.  Girls don't care about your struggles.

All they care about is being with a winner.

Als ik heel eerlijk ben, ben ik nooit meer zo ontspannen geweest als ik was voordat een transseksuele prostituee van de wallen dreigde om Voorzij in de fik te steken. En mijn adres nog bij de Kamer van Koophandel vermeld stond.
Het was het begin van stress in een diepe onderlaag. De laag waarin je leven niet meer zeker is. En dat vanwege mijn mening!

Iets waarvan je verwacht dat mensen er met argumenten tegenin zullen gaan. Niet dat je jou als persoon onderhanden zullen nemen.

2.
Ik moest van de politie zo snel mogelijk mijn gegevens bij de burgerlijke stand laten verbergen, dan was de Kamer van Koophandel op basis daarvan bereid om de adressen van mij en de andere bestuursleden te verbergen.

Pretty pissed off at @PayPal, russians mass reported my account and therefore they have BLOCKED ME from launching fundraisers.

Meaning:
NO Christmas for kids
NO helping homeless
And No MedEvac vehicles.

Their excuse? It's not humanitarian.

Please everyone comment @PayPal 🤬
@PayPal I use the "fundraiser" option so you can all see transparently EVERY last donation and the total raised and now they are trying to take away the most important part of fundraising, TRANSPARENCY.
Until my ability to open fundraisers is reinstated you can only donate via:

If you are pissed at @PayPal please leave a comment with your donation of "WTF PayPal" and I'll make sure they know how pissed off you all are 🤬🤬🤬paypal.me/FrontLineKit

So the Premier has finally stated her vision for AB: hand over our Social Safety Net to FOR-PROFITS, non-profits, and let Charity cover the leftovers.
Not a lot of profit in "Orphans and widows", so let's hope our religious charities really ramp up.
Let's check some facts🧵

Let’s talk AFFORDABILITY in AB RIGHT NOW, before the Premier DESTROYS what is left of our social safety net:

Monthly Visits: In March 2025 alone, there were over 210,500 visits to food banks in Alberta = people begging for basic sustenance in a resource-rich province

Remember when Trump curiously suggested putting light inside the body to treat COVID?

The media mocked him with bleach jokes.

But Trump wasn’t crazy. It “actually works.”

And it’s a story that blew even Joe Rogan away.

Back in the 1940s, UV blood irradiation was used to treat sepsis, pneumonia, and even polio with remarkable success.

But the American Medical Association rigged a study to kill it, ensuring this life-saving therapy vanished.

Trump was on to something. And that’s exactly why he was smeared. We weren’t supposed to know this treatment option existed.

It turns out, many of the diseases we are told are “incurable” aren’t incurable at all. 🧵
And it’s not just what people say that gets twisted and smeared. Sunlight itself—yes, the light from the sun—has been smeared as dangerous for decades.

But the dermatology-led UV fear campaign of the 1980s ignored something crucial: the deadliest skin cancer is most common in people who avoid the sun.

Let that sink in.

A 20-year study of 29,518 Swedish women found sunlight avoiders were a staggering 130% more likely to die.

The truth is simple: sunlight protects us. Modern life blocks our access to it.Image

A bunch of grifter accounts on X are posting photos of the WRONG Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin, the named POI in the Brown shooting. Once again, people fail to understand names are common and you need proof before you plaster someone's face across X as an accused murderer.

It's NOT the blonde guy from West Bend whose LinkedIn is being posted all over X. Wrong middle initial, wrong address history, wrong army service details compared to reporting based on facts from the police.

The way anyone and everyone thinks they can do research and be citizen reporters is so out of control and irresponsible here.
Update: The photo of the correct Benjamin Erickson has now been released and none of the accounts that irresponsibly posted the wrong guy's face have taken any real accountability. Some blame other good "sources" (??)-- others like that trash Maine one straight out lied and said NBC had the wrong guy first and now corrected it (not true.) Others acted like it was an honest mistake anyone might make (no because don't post it if you're not sure, and if you were sure, you're not good at this.)

Sometimes curiosity gets the best of us, and that happened when I saw this Xircom Parallel Port Multiplexor III for sale. What does it do? It lets you use a printer and Xircom parallel port Ethernet adapter at the same time. Does it do it "well"? Let's find out! 🧵 time! Image
Image
Image
As you might have seen from the intro pic, I'm going to use my AST Premium Exec 386SX/25 to test this out. This machine doesn't have any PCMCIA slots, so I do use a Xircom Pocket Ethernet III to get it online! Image
Here's a close up of the device itself, as well as some of the items that were inside the box. Very nice! Image

@Jenlyell ALWAYS, stated Assault
From the beginning, to the authorities, to investigators, to Guidepost, to @albertmohler, @ericgeiger, in depositions, to her legal team, to me, to anyone and everyone always Se*u@l Assault DavidSills stated that he knew she didn't want it
#FACTS Image
This is where it all began.
Professor Sills became an associate faculty member at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in January 2003. Jennifer Lyell was already a full-time student at the seminary. Professor Sills became the head of Ms. Lyell’s degree program.

(3) She had a family full of what she perceived as love and acceptance. She fiercely loved them, because of them she didn't initially report (or even once she realized later what the truth was) She reported later, to protect others. Image
