1) The White House is very committed to all their mandates around COVID-19, the mask mandate is no different. 
2) From the perspective of the professional political left, the theater of forced mask wearing represents the visible power and authority of government to rule the lives of the irrelevant proles.
3) They can choose to wear a mask if they want, but that’s not really the issue behind the mask mandate. The true power of the modern left is in the ability to force everyone to comply to their whims regardless of individual choice or preference.

pas lagi hujan, udara lebih lembap dari biasanya jadi emang cocok buat mode dry
ada AC yg bisa atur temp saat mode dry, tapi ada juga yg ga bisa
saat mode dry memang fokusnya memeras uap air di udara yg lembap, lalu dibuang ke luar ruang, efeknya apa?
udara makin kering, lalu suhu udara jadi lebih mudah turun daripada mode cool

Putin is Selling Russia’s Future to Beijing.
Expert Natalia Butyrskaya just dropped a reality check that should make every Russian patriot’s blood boil.
While putin burns through his country's blood and treasure trying to steal land in Ukraine, he is quietly handing the keys of the Russian Far East to his "dear friend" Xi Jinping.
The Kremlin’s propaganda calls it a "strategic partnership”, and “unlimited friendship”, but the reality is much darker.
Xi isn't a brother-in-arms. He is a landlord collecting on a debt.
From the systematic stripping of the Siberian taiga to the "economic colonisation" of entire regions, the CCP is playing the long game. They haven't forgotten the "unequal treaties" of the past—they’re just waiting for putin to weaken Russia enough to make the takeover official.
Is Russia becoming China’s biggest vassal state?
In this interview, expert Natalia Butyrskaya breaks down how:
China is using economic expansion to reclaim "lost" territories.
Russian resources are being extracted with zero regard for the local population.
Vladivostok is already being treated as a Chinese internal port.

Putin is Selling Russia’s Future to Beijing.- expert Natalia Butyrskaya
Host: You say that China acts quite unpredictably, both in policy and military matters. But then a surprising question: does China need Siberia or the Russian Far East? Can we even consider a scenario where Russia’s former ally moves against it for its own territorial goals?
Natalia Butyrskaya: First of all, we must remember the 1 million square kilometers that were obtained by Russia in a way that China considers "unfair" during those unequal treaties—a century of such humiliation for China, it is remembered seriously. If you look at the regions adjacent to Russia, there—if not political thought, then at least among the people—it is not forbidden to discuss freely on social networks and in ordinary life that part of Russian territories are Chinese territories.
Moreover, the city of Aigun, where this unequal treaty was signed, resulting in China losing its territories, has a museum that tells the whole story of the lost territories—the history of that episode. And it’s interesting that Russians were not allowed in there. That is, I want to say that China, of course, remembers what belongs to them. And if they are not raising this issue now, it’s because all of China’s forces are concentrated near the South China Sea, near Taiwan—that is goal number one right now.
But China is making its advances into Russian territory through economic means. That is, from my point of view, today China is not interested—perhaps it’s not its main goal—in conquering Russian territories, because conquering territories also means taking responsibility for the development of the region, for the population of the region. This is a somewhat deeper problem than we might think.
But Chinese businessmen and Chinese companies work very actively in the region of Siberia and the Far East and very seriously occupy those strategic spheres that are important to China for strengthening its economy, especially the northern regions. And if you look at channels on YouTube—there are many, because I periodically take an interest in this topic for myself—I look specifically for Russian channels, regional channels. That is, not the information that is presented to the external public to show that China is not a threat at all (the official position of Russia now is that China is not a threat at all, it's our friend).
But we look at regional channels, and they say that, for example, Chinese companies are completely cutting down the Siberian taiga. That is, for them, as non-citizens of Russia—and actually for companies working on foreign territory—it doesn't matter if the taiga will be replanted, if the rivers will carry water to the villages of the Far East. Chinese companies that came to get the resource are not interested in this. Chinese companies are not interested in creating jobs. The same applies to land.
That is, Chinese are given large agricultural lands for rent. Because in Russia, we must understand that 12 million people live up to the Urals, and in the Far East, seven million. This is very little for such large territories; there is no one to work there. Plus, these are regions that are very seriously inferior in economic development to all other regions. That is, the Chinese are actively settling these lands and taking the resource.
And it seems to me that this economic encroachment, economic expansion, will sooner or later lead to the fact that a weakened Russia, in one way or another, will return these territories to China, or these territories will return to China.

“Furthermore, the Arctic. Russia now, in negotiations with the United States, we see how they actively use this Arctic card. Because around the Arctic, we now see very serious competition, a very serious struggle for the resources of the melting Arctic, for the Northern Sea Route, which very much interests both China and Asian countries. And Russia, as a monopolist of a certain territory in the North, has this trump card.
And China, using this weakened state and isolation of Russia, is now actively integrating into many projects. The only thing is, it will just be interesting to me whether it will be possible to "sell" this opportunity to the USA, when Russia creates competition between China and the USA specifically for Russia's Arctic resources. But American companies are still used to acting in a more legal field before making large investments, unlike the Chinese, who for the sake of resources are ready to come in, you know, using a method that is not seriously used by the West.
And as an illustrative example to finish this question: China called Vladivostok its internal port.”

Skin tags, Acanthosis Nigricans, Keratosis Pilaris & Plantar Hyperkeratosis are expressions of a disease called insulin resistance.
But they are also reversible by controlling your blood sugar with a proper diet.

These are clinical markers of hyperinsulinemia (insulin resistance) on the skin. They are indicators of poor metabolic health and can all be banished by a proper human diet.

1. Insulin is massively underrated.
It controls what every cell does with energy.
From your brain to your bones, insulin dictates whether you burn or store fat.
When insulin is high, your body is in storage mode.
It literally cannot burn fat.

2. Calories matter less than you think.
Dr. Bikman explains that two meals with identical calories produce completely different results based on insulin response.
The low-carb meal increases metabolic rate.
The high-carb meal tanks it.
Same calories, opposite outcomes.

here’s the exact SEO playbook I'd use to hit $150k/month in just 90 days:
here’s the exact SEO playbook I'd use to hit $150k/month in just 90 days:
Step 1: I’d buy real data for 7 days, then turn ads off
I’d run a tiny Google Ads campaign just to steal search terms:
- Exact local city
- Only 1-2 services
- Max $20-$30/day for 7 days
- Broad match turned ON
After 7 days, I’d export the search terms and only keep stuff with “bleeding pain” intent:
- “emergency plumber [city]”
- “same day tooth extraction [city]”
Those phrases become my SEO page topics.
No guessing. No tools.
I pay Google for one week → then use that data to build 3 months of content.

Step 2: Build “panic pages”, not service pages
I’d take those painful phrases and build “panic pages”:
Instead of:
- “Emeregency Air Conditioning Services in Phoenix”
- “Emergeny Plumber in Dallas”
Each page:
1. First 3 lines = what to do right now
2. One clear button: “Call Now -We Answer in [X] Rings”
3. 1 short story: “Last Tuesday, Jake called us at 11:37pm…”
People in pain don’t want a brochure.
They want a plan.

2/12🧠 The "Crypto" Mental Model
For my crypto natives, here is the translation:
• $GDX GOLD (Yellow) is Bitcoin. The standard "Store of Value" trade. • $COPX Copper (Orange) is Ethereum. It’s the "Utility" play. • $XLE (Cyan) is Solana/Nvidia. It’s up +297%. Institutions crowded into it for safety and yield. It’s "priced for perfection."• $XOP (Red) is the "Sleeping Giant" Alt. It is down -18% while the leaders are up triple digits. This is where the 10x rotation alpha is hiding.

3/12 The "Rich Cousin vs Poor Cousin" Gap
Look at the massive gap between Cyan ( $XLE ) and Red ( $XOP ).
• Wall St bought Majors ( $XLE ) because they have dividends and buybacks. • They shorted Producers ( $XOP ) because they hate CaPex.
This created a 315% spread within the same sector. When liquidity rotates from "Safety" (Cyan) to "Risk" (Red), the Red Line acts like a rubber band.

By merging search history, conversational AI, and retailer data, their new 'Universal Commerce Protocol' could create the ultimate surveillance pricing squeeze.

But instead of national security, the goal is extracting 'maximum lifetime value' from you, the consumer. Here is how the dragnet works in six simple steps. 1/8
Step 1. Profile you. Google's new Universal Commerce Protocol lets AI agents access your retailer accounts. The spec explicitly allows businesses to grant 'additional permissions beyond those explicitly requested.' Consent to checkout could mean access to your purchase history, loyalty data, or even the enriched profiles retailers build with the help of third-party data brokers. 2/8
Step 2. Pull the wool over your eyes. Google says scope complexity should be 'hidden' in the consent screen. So instead of granular details on what's being shared, users just get one general 'Allow [platform] to manage checkout sessions.' You won't know what you're actually agreeing to or what the retailer is actually sharing about you or your money. 3/8
