Ngomongin beasiswa, jadi inget salah satu teman yg kemarin kita bantu bulan Januari lalu. Personally mimin masih nyeseg sekali kalau inget dia kemarin 😭

Dia datang ke Jogja buat kuliah. Tp karena keterbatasan dana, ortu juga ngga bisa support akhirnya putus di jalan & terlantar di Jogja -

Bertahan dengan makan sedapetnya, sambil kerja, setiap hari jalan kaki.

Oke di hari pertama dia menghubungi, mimin kirimin nasi + lauk dulu buat sarapan,

Malemnya baru kemudian mimin pantau lagi ke kos dia, beneran apa engga -

Sampai kosnya, disambut dengan baik, kami ngobrolin banyak hal terkait kuliah & rencananya dia selama Jogja untuk kedepan.

1/ Con la guerra en el Golfo Pérsico vamos a tener problemas con los fertilizantes. Y sin fertilizantes no hay comida. Y la siembra se acerca.
Cobrarán mayor valor los denostados estiércol y purines.
Se replanteará usar maíz (50% cosecha EEUU) para biodiésel pues para muchos los alimentos serán más caros y menos disponibles
Hilo va: 👇

2/ La agricultura moderna no funciona sin nitrógeno sintético.
La mitad del nitrógeno de nuestro cuerpo proviene del proceso Haber-Bosch. No es una exageración: una gran parte de la humanidad come gracias a fertilizantes industriales.

3/ El sistema real es este:
gas natural → amoníaco → fertilizantes → cultivos → pienso → proteína animal → humanos
Cuando falla el principio de la cadena, todo lo demás se resiente. No es un sistema flexible.

1/ QUICK TAKE by a Rus mil blogger on the state of drone warfare in Ukraine: "Drones have definitively seized control of the battlefield. In 2024, one could still zip across on a motorcycle; in 2025, one could sprint through a tree line..." t.me/bayraktar1070/…

2/ "...but now, only the lucky few ever reach their objective. Aerial surveillance (by UAVs) is total. Movement between positions is possible only under conditions of poor weather. Evacuation from the "zero line" has all but ceased."

3/ "No, this is not just another piece of criticism—these are reflections. The enemy’s situation is no better. Our offensive is being halted not by enemy infantry, but by a drone cordon. The front line has become virtually depopulated."

Wait until they find out we have an entire Government Agency, U.S. Farm Credit, that has been lending a significant portion of its $450 Billion portfolio to foreign entities;

It’s not just that we have been losing our American farmland to foreign interests, we are giving them the loans to buy the land.

And not a single Oversight Hearing held in Congress to address it; and that’s because Farm Credit sends campaign dollars to all of them so that they will look the other way.

Our Government bribing our Government to the detriment of farmers and taxpayers.

It’s extensive; but this is our Farm Credit story:

See, look at this @elonmusk —

@grok , yes or no, does the U.S. Farm Credit System maintain it has the authority to engage in lending transactions on American farmland with foreign agents and entities?

THREAD: (1/13) A foreign-linked influence network has been running coordinated operations against the Trump administration for 22 months. I know it's real because they ran one against me. I was targeted in something I knew was far from organic. This level of media is isolating, unwanted, and unwarranted. There was nobody to help, nobody to jump in and say, this is a false OP and help me. Well, I don’t believe in problems without solutions, so I’ve spent the last few months learning to build programs to utilize publicly available information to prove that this is way bigger than me. This is about creating chaos in the Republican Party. It's about the organized effort to lose Republicans the midterms and subvert President Trump's agenda, and I have the data for you to see 🧵

(2/13) In July 2025, I was falsely labeled a Mossad spy in a coordinated campaign designed to isolate an official of the US Government by using the person publicly nearest to him - me. Across the full operation, July’s events and others dating back to 2024 — 6 chapters, 22 months — the data shows 3.1 million retweet engagements. 80% of all activity was pure amplification. 659 accounts retweeted the same post. Some retweeted 1 second apart — fifteen pairs retweeted within 10 seconds of each other. When content spreads organically, timing is random. People check their feeds at different moments. They don't retweet the same post within seconds of strangers they've never met. 54 retweets in a single hour at peak. 863,568 total retweet engagements in this chapter alone. That's not a conversation. That's a weapon.

(3/13) The network has a trail. Catholics for Catholics lists Gen. Michael Flynn as 'Current Senior Advisor' on their own website. Flynn is the anchor of a digital infrastructure that has been repeatedly activated — at every major Republican fracture point — over 22 months of documented data. The same accounts appear at every chapter. This network does not rebuild between deployments. It stays ready.

Growing up in India, alcohol was reserved for weddings and rare celebrations.

Now it’s consumed daily. Normalised. Celebrated.
This legal poison is quietly destroying: • Gut health • Metabolic health • Mental health

Here’s the biology nobody is telling you:

A generation ago, alcohol had boundaries:

Occasional. Contextual. Celebratory.

That boundary has collapsed.

Stress culture. Socialising. Westernisation.

Daily drinking is now normal, especially in urban India and diaspora communities.

Your body hasn’t adapted.
The damage is silent.

Most people are told their liver is “fine.”

Because doctors check ALT and AST — markers that rise late.

Operationally, Epic Fury has been a success, but not without fault. Losses incurred by US & partner forces could have been minimized had the Trump Admin been more open to Ukrainian support; and the US Army more nimble in reforms.

Here are the receipts to prove it. 🧵 ⬇️

1/25

Last August the Ukrainians pitched the White House on a defense industrial cooperation deal focused on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and counter-UAS (cUAS). Ukraine has immense technical and operational expertise in this area. They made this presentation, obtained by Axios.

2/25

Ukraine even emphasized the threat Iran posed to US forces in CENTCOM. After meeting with Zelensky, Trump told his team to work on it, but they did not follow through. US officials have told Axios that this was a big mistake on the Administration's part.

Сьогодні рівно рік як мій молодший брат зник безвісти. Приватбанк, маючи всі відповідні папери, не даючи інформацію про стан рахунків брата і обіцяючи зупинити всі процеси по карткам, передає колекторам повноваження збивати борги, про які ми не знали.

Під боргами я маю на увазі кілька тисяч гривень кредиту, які брат не встиг закрити і мама хотіла всі питання вирішити з банком одразу після зникнення, але банк не надав інформацію чи є якась заборгованість і взявши витяг про зникнення, запевнив що нічого більше робити не треба.

Просто хочу, щоб всі причетні до цього люди болісно і довго помирали ригаючи кров'ю.

Canada spent $5.1 BILLION fixing a broken payroll system (Phoenix). Now we're about to spend $4.2 BILLION+ replacing it with Dayforce.

I went through every lobbying record, every communication report, and every revolving-door hire to identify potential conflicts of interest.

Here's what I found.

1/🧵

2/

First, the basics.

In 2016, the Government of Canada launched Phoenix a new pay system for 431,000 federal employees. It was built by IBM. It was a disaster. People didn't get paid. People got overpaid. Some got nothing for months.

Ten years later, Phoenix has cost taxpayers $5.1B in fixes alone.

3/

The replacement? A company called Dayforce (formerly Ceridian). They won a $16.9M pilot in 2021, then a $350.6M contract in June 2025 (extendable to 20 years).

But the Auditor General says the REAL cost of transitioning is $4.2 billion. And she says even THAT number is too low it "does not include important costs needed for all departments."

So we're looking at Phoenix ($5.1B wasted) + Dayforce ($4.2B+ and climbing) = roughly $10 BILLION on payroll software for a country of 40 million people.

1/ Russian warbloggers are increasingly concluding that the war in Ukraine is stalemated and cannot be won by military means. Two prominent warbloggers have published gloomy commentaries explaining why. ⬇️

2/ 'Fighterbomber', a blogger with links to the Russian Air Force, comments:

"We still have 15% of Donbas left to liberate, and then Donbas will be liberated.

In my opinion, we have three main options."

3/ "The first is to continue the creeping offensive with varying success, regardless of losses, which will be, to put it mildly, very heavy.

Judging by the current slow pace, that [needs] at least five years.
