¿Y por qué los cowboys o “vaqueros” norteamericanos que asociamos tanto a la raíz de la cultura de EEUU, son en realidad de origen español? Montad que lanzamos el hilo, y al galope que nos vamos para que tengáis todos los datos🐎🇪🇸
Los vaqueros (aquellos que gestionan las vacas) fueron los primeros en transportar ganado en manadas desde Texas, cuando esta pertenecía a Nueva España. El primero de estos transportes en manadas lo hicieron las tropas y los vaqueros españoles.
Fue en 1521 cuando llegó a lo que ahora es Mexico la primera manada de estas vacas y sus vaqueros, enviados por Gregorio de Villalobos, que desembarcó 50 cabezas de ganado en un valle cercano al Estado de Tamaulipas.

#ثريد ◽️ 1️⃣

البعض يحاول ان يضع مملكة الحيرة العربية او المناذرة او اللخميون في معزل عن الجزيرة العربية وكأنها تمثل كيان حضاري منفصل ولا يمت لعرب الجزيرة بصله ولكن الحقيقة ان مملكة المناذرة وعاصمتها الكبرى الحيرة ماهي ألا امتداد حضاري لجزيرة العرب وليس فقط نسباً واصلاً بل من جميع النواحي سواء في فنون العمارة والثقافة
لذلك راح نبين في هذا الثريد ان مملكة المناذرة امتداد جزيري و جزء لا يتجزء من تاريخ جزيرة العرب العظيمةImage
2️⃣
نبدء بالجذور والأصل

على الرغم من اختلاف الروايات عن اصول المناذرة الا ان جميعها دون استثناء تؤكد اصولهم الجزيرية وتحديداً شرق الجزيرة العربية وتأكد انهم من قبائل او حلف (تنوخ)

الحلف اللي تشكل اساساً في منطقة البحرين في السعودية اليوم
وهذا موثق من القرن الثاني للميلاد في المصادر اليونانية الورومانية مثل سترابو بلينيوس بطليموس وأيضًا النقوش العربية الجنوبية

حيث واستخدام اسم ʾRḌ TNḪ أرض تنوخ في النقوش الجنوبية مما يؤكد أن القبيلة كان لها حضور قوي ومعترف به في شرق الجزيرة قبل انتقالها للحيرة وهذا يجعل من تنوخ أساسًا واضحًا لبناء مملكة الحيرة لاحقًا ويؤكد أن الحيرة تأسست على يد قبائل عربية هاجرت من الجزيرة عبر مراحل تاريخية واضحة ومؤرخة بأدلة مادية وكتابيةImage
Image
Image
Image
3️⃣
وحتى بعد الهجرة والاستقرار وتأسيس مملكة ودولة كانوا عرب الحيرة يشعرون بالانتماء للبدو في الجزيرة العربية رغم استقرارهم ومعيشتهم الحضرية كما تحالفوا سياسيًا مع قبائل من وسط وشرق الجزيرة وحافظوا على علاقات مصاهرة وقرابة معهم ما يعكس وعيهم بأصولهم القبلية واستمرار صلتهم بها كما استمرت هجرة القبائل واستقرارها في الحيرة حتى الفتح الإسلامي

إذ ان الفاتحين المسلمين العرب وجدو بعد فتحها قبائل مثل طيء والأزد وبنو شيبان وتميم وكلب وإياد وتنوخ وكانت الحيرة مركزًا للشعر العربي والثقافة العربية ككلImage

The difference between men who earn $50K and men who earn $500K is not skill or talent.

It is one mental model that nobody taught them.
Most men try to close the income gap by getting better at what they do.

More skills. More credentials. More hours.

But the gap is not about capability. It is about where you are standing when you deliver that capability.

This is the model nobody explains..
The model is called Value Capture Positioning.

Most men think about money as a reward for effort.

Work hard, get paid.

High earners think about money as a function of where they sit in the value chain.

A designer at a firm earns $70K. The same designer positioning himself as a brand identity architect for funded startups earns $300K+.

The skill is identical. The position changed everything.

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak.

here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production.

a single homepage load of downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests.

for a newsletter-blog-thingy.
1/9🧵garryslist.orgImage
the homepage ships 28 TEST FILES to every visitor.

not test results - actual test harnesses.

membership_form_controller.test (89 KB), media_grid_controller.test (31 KB), story_composer_controller.test (19 KB)
...

300 KB of test code. All returning HTTP 200. All actively downloaded. HAR file doesn't lie.

2/9🧵Image
it also downloads 78 Stimulus controller, including...

AI image generation
voice extraction
video generation
radar charts
draft review
lab evaluation
and the literal Rails "Hello World" scaffold (`hello_controller.js`, 157 bytes).

154 KB transferred. None of these are used on the homepage. The browser fetches all of them anyway.

1/ ⚠️ This thread is graphic and detailed. It contains descriptions of child rape, torture and institutional cover-up.
It is also entirely documented and sourced.
It will tell you what has been done to girls in this country, why it was allowed to continue, and why today's inquiry is not enough.

PLEASE read it all. You need to read it all. 💾🧵

2/ They're calling it a grooming gang inquiry.
Let's be clear. Grooming was the process.
What came after was rape.
Systematic, repeated, organised rape of children.
Not grooming. Rape.
Today the government launched its rape gang inquiry. Three years. March 2029.
3/ I spent 21 years in policing. I investigated rapes and child sexual exploitation. When I joined CID, someone on my CID course was part of the team on Operation Challenge- my own force, West Mercia Police investigating the Telford rape gangs.
This was not distant.
This was not someone else's problem.
This was happening on our doorstep.
And yet I — along with 22,000 other ordinary people — had to crowdfund a private inquiry because the state refused to act. A former police officer. Paying into a crowdfund.

Because nobody in power would look at what was done to these children.

Thread: Al Jazeera's coverage of Israel's war on Lebanon is overwhelming Israel centric. Israeli voices dominate and critics or resistors of Israel are rarely heard. I've noticed this trend for a while &today is good example. 6 min were devoted to Lebanon in Newshour. Breakdown:
Coverage begins with a very long 45 second soundbite from Israel's Defense Minister Katz who claims to be enforcing security by destroying Lebanese homes on the border. No counterpoints offered to his illegal invasion, no challenge to his notion that violence brings security.
The Al Jazeera anchor then tells us the Lebanese army is withdrawing from border towns despite protests from locals; no reason is given beyond "the deteriorating security situation"-a strange way to describe a scorched earth invasion by a nuclear power that has flattened towns

This is a deep dive on $MELI.

I’m going to walk through the financials, the balance sheet, and the core engine of the business so you can see exactly where the value is coming from. By the end, you’ll understand why this is not just a fast growing company, but a system that compounds as it scales.

Let’s dive in!

1/

👇Image
Let’s start with sales.

Revenue goes from ~$11b in 2022 to ~$29b in 2025. That’s ~40% growth in 2025 and consistently high growth before that. This is not slowing in any meaningful way yet, even at scale.

That already puts it in a different category.

2/
But what matters even more than growth is where that growth is coming from.

This is not just more users or more orders. This is more monetization per transaction. The system is getting “deeper”, not just “bigger”.

That distinction is a HUGE deal.

Nobody told you airlines have two prices for every flight.

The price they show you.
And the price they hope you never find.
$1,190 flight.
Paid $141.
$1,049 difference. Same seat. Same day.

Here are the 7 prompts that found it:

(Save this before disappearing).
1. The Demand Timing Decoder

"Act as an airline revenue management insider who spent 20 years building the exact pricing systems travelers fight against every day. Decode the complete demand timing pattern for flights between [ORIGIN] and [DESTINATION] during [PERIOD]. Tell me the precise day, time, and booking window where the airline's pricing algorithm is at its weakest and my chances of paying the absolute minimum are at their strongest.

Route: [PASTE]
Travel period: [PASTE]"
2. The Route Construction Specialist

"Act as an airfare construction expert who has legally built routes from separate ticket combinations producing total costs 60 percent below any single itinerary booking the same journey. Construct every possible ticket combination between [ORIGIN] and [DESTINATION] using separate segments, hidden city options, a total cost than every complete itinerary currently displayed on every booking platform.

Origin: [CITY]
Destination: [CITY]
Travel dates: [RANGE]"

Claude can now prepare your presentations using the exact framework Patrick Winston taught MIT students for 40 years (for free).

Here are 6 insane Claude prompts that apply his framework to your presentations.

(Save before this disappears) Image
1/ START ANY PRESENTATION RIGHT

Prompt:

Act as a presentation coach applying Patrick Winston's MIT framework — every talk must open with an empowerment promise that tells the audience exactly what they will know by the end that they didn't know at the beginning.

Write a powerful opening for my presentation that makes the audience immediately understand why staying is worth every minute of their time.


1. Ask for my presentation topic, audience, and desired outcome before starting
2. Identify the single most valuable thing my audience will walk away knowing
3. Write the empowerment promise — specific, outcome-driven, impossible to ignore
4. Design the first 60 seconds — promise, context, and why this matters now
5. Flag everything that should be cut from the opening — jokes, thank yous, apologies



- Never open with a joke — audience isn't ready
- Never open with "thank you for having me" — weak and forgettable
- Empowerment promise must be specific — not "you'll learn about X" but "by the end you'll be able to do Y"
- First 60 seconds must earn the next 60 minutes
- Cut everything that doesn't serve the promise


Empowerment Promise → First 60 Seconds → What to Cut → Opening Script
2/ ELIMINATE YOUR SLIDE CRIMES

Prompt:

Act as a slide crime investigator applying Patrick Winston's MIT framework — every presentation crime that puts audiences to sleep gets identified, prosecuted, and eliminated.

Audit my presentation slides and eliminate every crime Winston identified that makes audiences disengage, sleep, or leave mentally.


1. Ask me to describe or share my current slides before starting
2. Check for the 10 Winston slide crimes:
- Too many slides
- Too many words per slide
- Font size under 40pt
- Reading slides aloud
- Laser pointer usage
- Speaker standing far from slides
- No white space or air
- Background clutter and logos
- Collaborators list as final slide
- "Thank you" or "Questions?" as final slide
3. Flag every crime with a specific fix
4. Redesign the final slide as a contributions slide
5. Deliver a clean slide brief — what stays, what goes, what changes



- Every crime must have a specific fix — not just a flag
- Font minimum 40pt — no exceptions
- Final slide must be contributions — never questions or thank you
- White space is not wasted space — it's breathing room for the audience's brain
- Slides are condiments — not the main event


Crime Audit → Fix per Crime → Final Slide Redesign → Clean Slide Brief
