״אני לא רוצה את הערבים האלה פה״. ככה זה עובד. מתנחל קם עם חשק בבוקר והמערכת מתיישרת. הפעם - שובו של יריבן בן אלישע יריב
הבוקר הוא גירש עדר צאן מאדמה פרטית בשטח B, נגח בראשו של רועה צאן בן 16, ניסה מספר פעמים לחטוף טלפון של פעילת סולידריות ואיים על הרועים בלי סוף בעודו מנפנף בנשקו
אתמול הגיע שוטר לאותו המקום בדיוק, לאחר שמתנחלים הגיעו לגרש את אותם הרועים. השוטר קבע כי מדובר באדמה פרטית בשטח B והרחיק מהמקום את המתנחלים.
מי שחושב שזה סוגר את הפינה והתושבים שם לא ישמעו יותר מהמתנחלים - יש לנו נסיך ניגרי עם ירושה שמחפש למי לתת אותה להפנות אליו. בדרום הר חברון המתנחלים והמדינה מתואמים ומיישרים קו.
So, Paris is waiting for Berlin to keep up EU connections in W Africa. But those are already, to use a common term, flawed. Germany shares some of France's problems but not its bad reputation. I will presently turn my attention to the Horn, but what is the common mistake? ⬇️
There are conceptual problems as well as more directly strategic ones. The eminent French political scientist, Jean-François Bayart, has pointed to both in a remarkable interview with @guillaumeerner . Let me mention the strategic ones first.
The strategic problem is a reduction of all diplomatic relations to "fighting terrorism and illegal migration", the securocrat approach to both, and the neglect of state services damaged by decades-long austerity.
An update on the war following a recent trip. Ukrainian forces are holding, but the situation has worsened since July due to mounting offensive pressure. Here I cover some of the negative and positive trends, along with the salient dynamics at the front. Long thread. 1/
Drones continue to be responsible for most daily casualties, with the front line defined by overlapping drone and artillery fire engagement zones 20-25km from the forward line of troops. This is commonly referred to as the ‘kill zone.’ 2/
One of the key dynamics this year has been a tug of war contest between Russian forces and the AFU over superiority in this kill zone, and its relative footprint. That in turn determines initiative on the ground, and the cost incurred in offensive, or defensive ops. 3/
The latest Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) national poll, conducted October 22-252025 with a representative sample of 1,200 Palestinians (760 in the West Bank, 440 in Gaza) — shows a political landscape completely out of sync with Mahmoud Abbas’ planned succession.
In this most recent survey:
▪️ Marwan Barghouti leads with 49%, the most popular Palestinian political figure by a wide margin.
▪️ Khaled Meshal, a senior Hamas leader follows with 36%.
▪️ Mahmoud Abbas draws only 13% support.
▪️ Hussein al-Sheikh, Abbas’ designated heir, registers under 2% — and usually doesn’t appear at all in open-ended responses.
PCPSR director Dr. Khalil Shikaki says al-Sheikh “doesn’t exist in the public consciousness.”
The poll was conducted face-to-face from October 22–25, 2025, with a representative sample of 1,200 Palestinians: 760 in the West Bank and 440 in the Gaza Strip.
For safety, PCPSR researchers operated only in areas west, north, and south of the “yellow line,” which were free of Israeli military presence. Fieldwork covered 76 sites in the West Bank and 44 in Gaza. Margin of error: ±3.5%.
70% oppose disarming Hamas
•85% in the West Bank
•55% in Gaza
This remains the single strongest point of national consensus.

REPRO INDIA
CMP: 575
Repro has quietly built India’s largest publishing backend
The Q2 FY26 report shows 794 publishers onboarded, covering a massive portion of India’s content ecosystem
Once publishers integrate, there’s no real incentive to leave
The business model has silently transformed into a digital-first engine.
Digital revenue in Q2 FY26 is ₹95.3 crore out of ₹108 crore — nearly 90% of the entire business.
This is one of the cleanest, fastest transitions from legacy print to digital seen in India.
POD (Print-On-Demand) is the real engine, and it’s hitting all-time highs.
Daily POD throughput hit 43,514 books/day — the highest ever reported.
This scale creates a flywheel:
More titles → more orders → faster SLAs → better buy box → more visibility → even more orders.
They *don't know* that they're avoiding diseases spread by water, blood, food, faeces, because society is set up to do most of that work for them *without them knowing*.
Most people move through life inside a cocoon of invisible infrastructure that quietly blocks whole categories of disease transmission.
So they don't *try* to avoid those modes of transmission, they just do the only thing they're told to:
Wash hands.
I’m not sharing this as the CEO of Eternal, but as a fellow human, curious enough to follow a strange thread. A thread I can’t keep with myself any longer.
It’s open-source, backed by science, and shared with you as part of our common quest for scientific progress on human longevity.
Newton gave us a word for it. Einstein said it bends spacetime. I am saying gravity shortens lifespan.
Read on, and tell me what you think.
I am not saying “gravity exists” or “blood flow matters.” Everyone knows that. The new part is connecting these 3 known facts:
1. Upright posture reduces blood flow to the brain by small amounts, compounding every day for decades.
2. Neurons in the hypothalamus and brainstem are highly metabolic and depend on tiny perforating blood vessels, which makes them very sensitive to even small drops in blood flow.
3. These regions control aging itself: Hormones, inflammation, metabolism, autonomic balance, repair.
Nobody has put these 3 pieces together into a single, testable mechanism for aging. A big part of human aging might be brain-first and gravity driven, and not body-first (like we’ve always believed). That’s the breakthrough.
The more time we spent asking scientists to poke holes in this, the more I began to feel like we were tracing the outline of something hidden in plain sight.
Clues kept appearing. Scattered across biology, physics, medicine, and even evolution. The list runs long.
So what can we do about this?
We don’t have to escape gravity to counteract the negative effects it has on us. It’s necessary for us to live. Like astronauts, our health would deteriorate in <1G.
We just have to learn how to live longer and better at 1G.
Science already knows that Brain Flow is highly correlated to age, and an important biomarker for aging. However, we don’t pay much attention to Brain Flow.
So first and foremost, all of us need to start recognising how important blood flow to the brain is to our health, and longevity.
This is highly misleading and incorrect. Please DO NOT DO INVERSIONS for brain health and super aging. Mr Goyal is promoting a dangerous practice. He might be gifs at creating a startup but let’s stop at that.
This is pure pseudo science.
1/ The wellness industry claims headstands and inversions “reverse gravity,” “flush blood to the brain,” and slow aging. This sounds intuitive. It’s also completely physiologically backwards and potentially dangerous for the exact population seeking anti-aging benefits.
2/ Here’s what actually happens when you invert: Your brain has a sophisticated defense system called cerebral autoregulation (CA). Its job is NOT to maximize blood flow. It’s to keep it constant despite pressure changes. This is protective, not limiting.
Brain is not a passive receptacle, it is a complex, highly regulated organ.
1/22 In reflecting on historical patterns of societal stability and gender dynamics, a striking asymmetry emerges. Throughout human history, societies have successfully integrated foreign women, often through conquest or alliance, without unraveling their core structures. Yet, attempts by women to replace native men with outsiders have invariably failed, leading to cultural erosion and collapse. Let us examine this carefully.
2/22 This observation stems from a deeper truth: men, bound by loyalty to land, kin, and culture, serve as the irreplaceable guardians of a society's continuity. Women, while providing essential biological and relational resilience, integrate more fluidly into existing frameworks. History bears this out repeatedly.
3/22 Consider successful integrations of foreign women:
Ottoman Empire: Harems incorporated Circassian and Slavic women, who became mothers of sultans and wielded influence, strengthening the dynasty without destabilizing male power structures.
🔥Ukraine is grinding Russia’s oil industry to dust.
🧵1/23
🔥Nov. 13, Ukraine deployed Flamingo missiles alongside Lyutyi & Bars drones to devastate dozens of targets across occupied territories & Russia itself. In Crimea’s Feodosia, the Marine Oil Terminal—vital for fueling the Black Sea Fleet & southern front—was struck, 3rd time
2/23
🔥In the same barrage at Crimea’s Kirovskoe airfield, Ukraine obliterated storage and maintenance facilities for Orion UAVs that boast 16-meter wingspans and 24-hour loiter capability while dropping guided bombs. Russia lost critical reconnaissance and strike assets.
남자들아 잠깐.
나도 20대 여자애들 보면 너무 예뻐서 어쩔 줄 모르겠을때가 있음.
어제까지 드럽게 말 안들어서 저걸 어쩌지?싶었던 망나니도 햇살 아래서 ㅇㅇ님~하고 웃으면서 달려오면 미움도 사라지는 그런 청춘의 아름다움이라는 게 분명있음.
하지만 그런 사랑이 아님.
걍 싱그러워서 그런것임

PE De-Rating / Re-Rating (1/n) : After delivering 50%+ return from April 23 to September 24, the Indian equity markets have witnessed price and time correction since then, and have been consolidating in a tight range since March-25. PSU Banks and Financial Services delivered double digit returns followed buy mid-single digit returns by metals and Private Banks. Rest all sectors delivered negative returns and witness PE-De-Rating.
This is another phase of market consolidation after superb returns like October 21 to March 23.
Individual price actions and portfolio returns depend on stock specific returns driven by their company specific catalysts.
Chart showing PE De-Rating, EPS Growth and Deviation from median PE since these broader indices peaked around September 24.
(2/n) GDP growth is driven by four main components: consumption, business investment, government spending, and net exports. Other key factors include increases in productivity, technological advancement, a skilled labor force, and a stable political and economic environment.
Primary components of GDP
1. Consumption: Spending by households on goods and services, which can be boosted by tax cuts and rebates.
2. Business investment: Companies purchasing capital goods like machinery, equipment, and technology to produce goods and services more efficiently.
3. Government spending: Public expenditure on goods, services, and infrastructure projects.
4. Net exports: The total value of a country's exports minus the total value of its imports.
Other contributing factors
1. Productivity: An increase in the output per unit of labor or capital, which leads to greater economic efficiency.
2. Technological progress: The adoption of new technologies can lead to innovations that improve production methods and create new products and services.
3. Human capital: A more educated and skilled workforce is more productive and drives economic growth.
4. Natural resources: A country's access to natural resources can be a driver of economic activity.
5. Political stability and governance: A stable environment with effective policies and good governance encourages both domestic and foreign investment.
6. Entrepreneurship: A dynamic private sector with strong entrepreneurial activity is vital for job creation and innovation.
Is it fair to compare the Congress Era Capex Driven Industries PE multiples vs Modi Era Capex Driven Industries PE multiples depite substantial expansion in total addressable market size for these capex driven industries ?
Individual stocks will continue to flourish depending upon management quality and company specific catalysts.
1/9 Regeringen kritiseras nu för hög arbetslöshet. Men när Ardalan Shekarabi kliver fram som upprörd åskådare låtsas han att problemet föll ned från himlen, inte från den politik han själv varit med och drivit i åratal. Låt oss titta lite närmare på hur detta fungerar.🧵Häng med
2/9 Under S-åren tog Sverige emot hundratusentals människor från länder med låg skolgång, svag läskunnighet och minimal erfarenhet av en formell arbetsmarknad. Forskningen visade redan då att denna grupp skulle få extremt svårt att etablera sig i ett högskatte-, högkompetensland.
3/9 Resultatet ser vi nu: 2024 var arbetslösheten bland utrikes födda 16,2 %, mot 5,7 % bland inrikes födda. Första kvartalet 2025: 16,4 % mot 4,9 %. Det är inte “lite högre arbetslöshet”, det är två helt olika samhällen på samma karta.
