On March 21, 1994, former 🇺🇸 President Nixon wrote a letter to then President Clinton, offering him advice on 🇺🇸 policy towards 🇷🇺. He had this to say about 🇺🇦: "Ukraine is in a different class - it is indispensable."

What other wise words did he have to share? A 🧵(1/18)

This letter was just declassified last week by President Clinton's Library, and was published by historian Luke A. Nichter in the Wall Street Journal on Friday. Owing to that unfortunate timing, this revelation hasn't seemed to get the attention it deserves. (2/18)

Nixon starts by warning Clinton not to trust the career Foreign Service Officers at the US State Department, who he quite correctly notes are closed minded, risk adverse, and often uninterested in serving the President's agenda. (3/18)

The short answer: "Cluster B personality disorders".

usury banks and their regulators are pathologically lying parasites (which is always only a human).

Trump has become the War Lord and Now Targets Cuba

How has someone who never built their political career as a hawk changed so drastically, transforming into a war lord?
After an operation in Venezuela to arrest Maduro and cement a coup d’état, Trump alongside Netanyahu, attacked and assassinated Iranian leaders while they were still at the negotiating table.

The war has been a disaster for the American leader, but that hasn’t deterred him from opening another front, this time against Cuba.

U.S. intelligence leaked this week that Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and recently began discussing plans to use them to attack the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military vessels, and possibly Key West, Fla., 150km north of Havana.

With what intent did intelligence gather this information and leak it at the exact moment Trump is set to announce new sanctions on Cuba, right after the CIA Director’s visit? Weeks ago, I saw that American intelligence aviation was collecting data on vessels off the Cuban coast.

I would classify this intelligence report as a “nothing burger” because 300 drones are exhausted in a single day of war, and Cuba has been purchasing drones in small quantities and attempting to modernize thier forces for years. Furthermore, if Cuba hasn’t attacked Guantanamo in over 60 years, why would they do it now? This leads me to believe there is a move to construct a “Cuban threat to the U.S.” to drum up support for military action.

With the disastrous military operation in Iran underway and no prospects for victory, Trump wants to use Cuba to reshape his image and head into the elections as a winner. After all, a military action in Cuba is far less complex than in Iran, with much higher chances of success.

But what would Donald Trump be capable of building outside of conflicts? In what ways has his administration improved the lives of Americans? The ballot boxes will answer that question.

Yet, the misunderstood fact remains: how was Trump, who never had a militaristic bias, so quickly co-opted and transformed into a highly aggressive hawk? What does this actually reveal about the American power structure? Without a doubt, this says a lot to Americans who know how to analyze this picture. There is no break in the system; there is only the system making new HR acquisitions.

ANTHROPIC LITERALLY JUST HANDING US THE BLUEPRINT🤯

Their new 33-page guide on Claude Skills is the cheat code.

I don’t know how this claim has gone so viral.

This was actually completely intentional by Novo.

Novo Nordisk does not operate in an “oops. lawyer forgot the $250 CAD fee” manner.

This is, with all due respect, a shallow read of Novo’s actual corporate strategy.

(1/)

https://twitter.com/cremieuxrecueil/status/2056972027328614884

it is a patent lapse strategy.

Canada has the Patented Medicines Prices Review Board (PMPRB). It caps prices on patented drugs. Unpatented branded drugs aren't subject to it.

By letting CA 2601784 lapse, Novo escaped PMPRB regulation on Ozempic and Wegovy.

The Canadian Certificate of Supplementary Protection tied to that patent would have extended exclusivity to March 2028.

Those two years would have been price-capped under PMPRB the *entire time.*

They stopped paying fees in 2018. A generic was approved today, 2026.

RIP paying for 10 different subscriptions every month.

Today in @Nature, we report MouseMapper: foundation-model AI to map disease perturbations across the entire mouse body cell-by-cell.
In obesity, it revealed body-wide inflammation & unexpected facial nerve damage. 🧵👇🔉
led by @Dorie00 & @yingchen733 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Many diseases, including obesity, affect multiple organs and body systems simultaneously. But studying these systemic effects at cellular resolution across the whole body has remained a major challenge.

Using DISCO tissue clearing and light-sheet microscopy, we are able to image intact mouse bodies in 3D at single-cell resolution. The bottleneck has been analyzing these massive datasets in an unbiased and scalable way.

Short dramas have quietly become a massive entertainment format.

Think next-gen soap operas: serialized, mobile-first, and monetized like games.

In China, they already generate more revenue than the domestic box office.

And now AI is going to blow this format wide open 👇

Short dramas are almost tailor-made for AI.

They typically feature small casts with limited sets, constraining the "world" in which you have to generate videos.

And audiences care about the hook, pacing, and cliffhanger - they don't expect HBO-level production quality.

There are a few layers of the stack:

1) Foundation models that generate videos (e.g. Seedance, Kling)

2) Creation tools & agents that guide generations + organize production (e.g. Martini, Preview)

3) Distribution platforms for reaching users (e.g. ReelShort, DramaBox)

A recent overview of the Orikhiv-Zaporizhzhia direction by 🇺🇦military observer Kostiantyn Mashovets (as of May 20). In the first part, the composition of the RuAF grouping operating in this direction is analyzed.

t.me/zvizdecmanhust… x.com/SitrepLinksENG…

In the second part Mashovets focuses on the current situation in the Orikhiv-Zaporizhzhia direction, where the RuAF offensive stalled, while 🇺🇦forces push back near Stepnohirsk, Mala Tokmachka, and Kamianske, repelling enemy advances.

t.me/zvizdecmanhust…

The final part covers the further prospects for the RuAF grouping in this direction, where the 🇷🇺58th Army is depleted and unable to advance, while only the 🇷🇺5th Army makes slow costly gains, delaying any any hypothetical breakthroughs.

1/ The powerful AI-driven Palantir platform is becoming Ukraine's 'operating system' for the war with Russia. Belarusian-Russian journalist journalist Alex Zimovsky warns that it's "heading towards the point where Palantir will soon become a scary name for children in Russia." ⬇️

2/ Zimovsky has been assessing how Ukraine uses Palantir. He writes:

"As of May 2026, the American company Palantir Technologies has become a key element of Ukraine's AI- and big data-based war management architecture."

3/ "The system is based on the Gotham and MetaConstellation platforms, which integrate into a single combat environment:

→ UAV video feeds
→ satellite reconnaissance
→ SIGINT / electronic intelligence
→ radar data
→ OSINT and open sources

Your Android phone probably isn’t slow because it’s old.

It’s slow because of a default setting most people never change.

And almost nobody finds this before buying a new phone.

The fix takes 90 seconds.

Here’s exactly how to speed it up ⤵️

I’ve been using this trick since 2012 — back on my first Android phone.

It made a cheap single-core device feel dramatically faster.

And the crazy part?

It still works on almost every Android phone in 2026.

Most people don’t even know this setting exists.

Here’s what’s actually slowing your phone down.

Every time you open an app, switch pages, or tap a button, Android plays a small animation.

By default, those animations run at 1x speed usually around 300ms for every transition.

That tiny delay happens hundreds of times a day.

And over time, your phone starts to feel slow even when the hardware is still fine.
