How do those causes of death change from year to year?
We have a big database here in England that helps catalogue causes of death. The most recent version is for the year 2024.
This dataset contains official ONS annual mortality data for England, based on registered death certificates and coded using 'ICD-10' codes.
1/x Insurance for ships is a complicated matter, and you've probably heard "P&I Club" being mentioned. What is a P&I club? A small🧵 
2/x P&I Club stands for Protection & Indemnity Club.
"P" = protection (e.g. certain damage to your own ship).
"I" = indemnity (reimbursement) for third-party liabilities from operating the ship, like injuring crew, damaging cargo, or polluting the sea.

3/x So what is a P&I club? They started in 19th-century UK. Shipowners found regular commercial insurers too pricey, and those policies often ignored cargo damage or crew injuries from normal ship use. Owners were left paying huge claims out-of-pocket.
🕵️Call us the 'Headquarters Hunters': together with @pustota, we found the 'mail center' of the GRU 'Africa Corps.' You will – and will not – be surprised where we found it. Full thread below 🔽
It all started when Georgy Kochkin, a 21-year-old defector from the 'Africa Corps', approached us. This guy wanted to be an IT specialist in Africa and needed money badly, so he just clicked on an ad on one of the job websites.
In October 2025, he signed a contract with the Russian MoD. There was nothing about Africa in it, of course, but he was promised a proper job fitting his expertise – information security.

Two parents. Same income. Same kid's age.
One opens a Trump Account before April 15.
One assumes it's only for newborns.
By retirement:
One has $2.7M.
One has $0.
Most parents don't know this account was built for kids already born.

Let's kill the #1 misconception right now:
"Trump Accounts are only for babies born in 2025."
Wrong.
Any child under 18 can open one.
The $1,000 government seed is for newborns only.
The account? It's for every kid in America.
These are two completely different things.

The $1,000 contribution:
- U.S. citizens born Jan 1, 2025 – Dec 31, 2028
- One-time. Government funds it.
- Does NOT count toward annual contribution limits
If your child was born before 2025 - they miss the seed.

A clear visual proof of how armed Russian "tourists" occupied my Luhansk.
So when pro-Russian bots show up claiming "Donbas wanted to join Russia" - just show them this video and my threads (from Donbas resident).
As I already wrote in my previous thread - on March 1, 2014, the operation to occupy Donbas began. A flood of Russian "tourists" arrived, pretending to be locals and demanding to join Russia. This was recorded in many cities - including Luhansk.
Despite direct orders from their FSB curators not to reveal their presence in Ukraine, many of them were stupid enough to film themselves.
On March 4, 2014, Russian flags were hung all over Luhansk. Russian propaganda immediately called it "Luhansk residents want to join Russia".
But one group of these "activists" couldn’t resist and recorded an archival video for themselves.
Now the osinters have identified some of them 👇

One of them (the man clearly visible in the screenshot from the video) is Ivan Syrovatsky, a Russian citizen from Voronezh Oblast.
It is exactly him on the video saying he came to Luhansk with Belykov.
Interestingly, he served in the 137th Regiment (Ryazan) in 2013 and was discharged from the Russian army just shortly before these events.
Many of the Russians who took part in the Donbas events at that time had only recently been active-duty Russian servicemen. One theory is that the Russian army itself was recruiting people to travel to Ukraine disguised as "tourists".

Next (clearly visible in the attached screenshot and photo with Syrovatsky) is Sergey Belykov, a Russian citizen, also from Voronezh Oblast.
He is the one who filmed this exact video. And it is him that Syrovatsky was referring to when he said they came to Luhansk together.
Interestingly, as of August 2014 Sergey Belykov was an active serviceman in the 331st Regiment (Kostroma, Russia). This is the very same regiment that fought against Ukraine in Donbas in August 2014. At that time, near Ilovaisk, Ukrainian forces captured 10 soldiers from this unit.

1. The "Script Kiddie" is Dead
We used to worry about teenage hackers in basements.
That's over.
New studies show that autonomous AI agents (powered by models like GPT-4) can now plan, execute, and adapt cyberattacks entirely on their own.
They aren't just tools. They are the attackers.

2. The Zero-Day Breakthrough
A "Zero-Day" is a vulnerability that no one knows about yet.
Finding them used to require genius-level intuition and months of work.
Researchers found that a team of AI agents could successfully identify and exploit these unknown flaws.
They didn't just follow a script. They wrote the script.

1/🚨Jeffrey Epstein built a leverage file on Bill Gates.
It contained allegations about an STD. A request to secretly medicate Melinda without her consent. Gates' personal plea to destroy the emails.
Four days after delivering that intelligence, Epstein received a multimillion-dollar financial agreement from Gates. Three weeks later, Gates signed documents giving Epstein unlimited authorized access to all confidential information on Melinda Gates personally.
Then thanked him for advice to "minimize documents."
You can draw your own conclusions.
It's all in the federal court record. Gates testifies under oath May 19. 🧵👇

2/ The intelligence acquisition To understand the leverage, you need to understand how Epstein built it.
He didn't hack Gates. He didn't surveil him.
He recruited Gates' most trusted insider — chief science adviser Boris Nikolic — who handed Epstein everything.
Including material Gates thought was protected by attorney-client privilege.
It wasn't. Epstein wasn't a lawyer. He wrote that privilege claim himself.

Aug 25, 2013. Epstein to Boris: "What entity gave you the 500k."
Boris replied from his phone with:
▪️A $500K payment from Gates' personal bank account
▪️A concealed investment partnership called Eclipse funding a woman Melinda knew nothing about
▪️Wire transfer documentation Boris had at home
▪️His assessment: "She would be much more furious than on anything before if she finds out."

1. The Strategy Selector
"[TICKER] is on my watchlist and I'm ready to act. Help me decide which strategy fits right now.
Current conditions:
- Stock price: [PRICE]
- My conviction level: [MODERATE / HIGH / VERY HIGH]
- IV environment: [Look up IV rank on Barchart for me]
- Available capital: [AMOUNT]
Based on these conditions:
- Should I sell a cash-secured put?
- Should I buy a LEAP?
- Should I do both?
- Or should I do nothing and wait?
Walk me through the decision like a flowchart. IV first, then conviction, then capital. Don't let me force a strategy that doesn't fit the setup."

2. The Cash-Secured Put Strike Finder
"I'm considering selling a cash-secured put on [TICKER], currently trading at [PRICE].
Help me evaluate the setup:
- Where are the key support levels on the daily and weekly chart based on historical price action?
- What strike price sits at or below those support levels while still offering meaningful premium?
- What delta range would give me roughly an 80% probability of keeping the premium?
- At that strike, what would my effective cost basis be if assigned (strike minus premium)?
- Would I actually want to own 100 shares at that cost basis for the next 2-3 years?
Be honest with me. If the premium isn't worth the risk at any available strike, tell me to skip the trade entirely."

🚨PAIS RICO, POVO MISERAÉL: O Brasil é a 11ª MAIOR economia do MUNDO. O país tá nadando em dinheiro.

Imagina que o Brasil fez um bolo gigante de trilhões de reais. O problema é que o governo senta na mesa e corta quase METADE desse bolo só pra ele (impostos). Você trabalha igual um condenado, mas o sistema rouba a sua fatia no imposto do feijão e da luz antes do bolo chegar no seu prato.
Os arrombados de brasilia comemoram no jornal que a economia "cresceu". Mentira pra caralho. A economia cresceu em notas de Real. Só que o Real tá derretendo no supermercado. Se você medir em Dólar, o Brasil encolheu. Até a Rússia, no meio de uma guerra cheia de bomba, passou a gente.
