We all know why. No one needs to get a PhD figuring this out. There are more 20-something trans men with canes than among the old folks at the nursing home. Almost all of them that I know personally class themselves as disabled. I’m talking 18 out of 20 or so. They have long covid, CPTSD, chronic fatigue, and ehlers danlos. It’s a requirement. None of them blame cross sex hormones for their problems. The call is coming from inside the house. The mental health is a war zone. The only power you have is in your increasing helplessness and dependence. This becomes a classic trope intersectional wet dream. I am not just a funny looking fat woman NO I am a queer disabled trans sex positive fat positive poly revolutionary with an invisible illness which is a lot of words to say I’m an unemployed obese woman in a cult with the worst bangs ever inflicted on a woman in recorded human history. It’s not that you lack coping skills you’re just disabled so anyone requesting you employ a coping skill is actually bad and wrong. You aren’t in a disastrous relationship going nowhere with an equally emotionally crippled weirdo you’re in a transcendent dynamic that embraces radical freedom.
Listen as a funny looking chubby woman myself I encourage you to just embrace yourself and live well. Five stars. I know working sucks and your knees hurt when you get too fat but you don’t need to chop off your tits and call yourself Phoenix as a political statement. Just develop some coping skills such as a sense of humor, ditch the unhinged friends you made along the way, work out with new friends, touch grass, get a kind and fun chubby boyfriend who likes to make you smile. Get some sun. Go to church. Wash your hair. Bravo now you don’t have to be so damn mad all the time. Most importantly you don’t have to pretend to have the classic diseases of your old social circles. You have depression, pain, fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia because you’ve wrecked your life, your mind, your body, your finances, you social circles, your family, and your relationships. The cure is not leaning in. Lean out. Lean away. Flee your own bullshit.

There is a billion dollar industry profiting from your bullshit that destroys your life. I get nothing for telling you the truth but abused by you lot. The mental health professionals lying to you full time are helping you destroy your life and they do it for pay.

As religious Jewish New Yorkers tried to enter for prayer, they were aggressively blocked by pro-terrorist anarchists who targeted them simply for wanting to worship

On May 11, 1950, a construction crew unearthed a whiskey barrel at Wyoming's Rawlins National Bank that contained a human skeleton with its skull cap sawed off & an odd pair of shoes. Dr. Lillian Heath, now in her 80s, was asked if she knew anything about it... 🧵 
Dr. Lillian Heath, who was the 1st female doctor in Wyoming, was known to keep a skull cap in her office that she used as an ashtray, pen holder or doorstop. When the skull cap was put on the unearthed skull, it fit perfectly. That's when she told the story of Big Nose George...
Big Nose George Parrott was born in France in 1834. At some point he came to Wyoming & eventually he & a gang of outlaws started robbing stagecoaches near the Powder River. One day they decided to expand their operations to train robbery...
This is the story of how I nearly lost everything to activist Swedish Social Services.
In 2017, my family and I were living in Sweden.
I had lived there before as a single man. We thought it was the safe, stable, open society everyone in the West keeps praising.
What happened instead nearly destroyed us.
I am a former Marine with a couple combat deployments to Afghanistan (this detail matters) and was part of Marine Corps Forces European Command in Germany. I worked for Amazon Web Services with a Nordic focus, staged in Stockholm
I managed teams across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.
We lived in the countryside, paid taxes, followed every rule. We even insisted on speaking the local language.
We tried to be the ideal expat family.

Then the Swedish social services system turned its eyes on my family.
Not because of abuse. Not because of neglect.
One of my kids insisted on being "decidedly American". He climbed trees, he was enthusiastic, he was proud of my military service, he would not stand in line if he couldn't determine a reason. He was the James Dean 'Rebel Without a Cause' archetype, despite our pleadings.
And in Sweden, that non-compliance simply would not do.
What we didn't know was that the Swedish Social Services system is engineered to view foreign families as disruptions to the social order if they are not "Swedish Enough" (their words).
Once you fall into their process, innocence and evidence do not matter.
All that matters is their internal bureaucratic logic.
If they decide you are a target, you are a target.
Swedish friends warned me that Social Services was the last holdout of hard-line Marxists who believed the doctrine of the "New Swedish Man" (Nya Svenska Man), where they could recreate people based on their social and political doctrines.
And because we were Americans during the first Trump Admin, pursuing us was considered "punching up".

We began to notice things. Strangers watching our house. Our kids would come home from school and tell us they were taken out of class in a room with strangers and talked for hours. But they couldn't remember about what. They were 1, 9, 11, and 13. But it was basically about if they were happy at home.
We started getting unexplained letters and visits from state employees. Teachers calling us, telling us that our kids wouldn't listen, would climb trees, put olives on their fingers at lunch, or go to the bathroom without asking. We were told it was "unusual".
We received a letter telling us to meet with state officials, so we did. The kids were taken and put in a room and interrogated (after being plied with juice and cookies).

Passons maintenant au deuxième penseur : Friedrich Nietzsche.
Je suis convaincu que ce philosophe du XIXᵉ siècle est au moins aussi influent sur notre époque que Karl Marx.

Nietzsche, comme beaucoup de penseurs modernes, c’est en soi un thème intéressant est « fils de presbytère » : son père était pasteur luthérien. Nietzsche naît près de Leipzig en 1844.
Très tôt, il abandonne la foi chrétienne héritée de son père et devient étudiant en philologie classique, c’est-à-dire l’étude du langage.
🧵 Albumin in Critical Care: 70 Years, 700 Papers… Zero Benefit

Albumin is the most studied fluid in critical care.
Decades of trials. Endless meta-analyses.
And yet – not a single clinically meaningful benefit.
Here’s why the entire theory collapses once you understand Extended Starling. 👇

2/ The old idea
We were all taught:
• albumin “pulls” fluid into vessels
• albumin “stays intravascular”
• albumin “treats oedema”
All based on the obsolete 19th-century Starling model.

3/ What Extended Starling actually says
Fluid exchange is governed by:
• Pc (capillary pressure)
• Pi (interstitial pressure)
• πc – πg (oncotic gradient)
• lymphatic return
The key oncotic gradient is across the glycocalyx – not between plasma and interstitium.
This destroys the logic that giving albumin should “draw fluid back.”

How to Read a Company’s Financial Report Without Stress
Beginners avoid financial reports because they look confusing at first glance. The truth is that you do not need to understand every figure.
There are only a few key areas that show whether a company is healthy or struggling. Once you know what to look for, the entire report becomes easier to understand.
These four areas are revenue, profit, debt, and cash flow.

These four areas are revenue, profit, debt, and cash flow.
1. Revenue
Revenue is the total money a company brings in from its products or services.
It shows how much the company is selling.
If revenue is growing year after year, it means demand is increasing.
If revenue is falling, it may signal a slowdown.
A company with rising revenue is usually moving in a positive direction.

but almost everyone is using 1 percent of what it can actually do.
here’s the full prompting guide you can follow to generate any image with accuracy + control:
1. start with the “core idea” technique
describe the image in one simple sentence first.
this helps nano banana understand the anchor.
example:
“a futuristic living room at night”
keep it simple. no fluff. this becomes your foundation.

2. then add the “who, what, where” layer
people mess up here because they skip context.
add:
• who or what is the subject
• what they’re doing
• where they are
example:
“a futuristic living room at night, neon reflections on glass walls, single orange reading lamp, rain outside”
this gives nano banana real structure.

That’s right, Thomas Frank switched up to a back five for Spurs’ visit to the Emirates which, at least on paper, seems a relatively conservative decision - taking a player from higher up the pitch and dropping them into the back line.
But it’s important to notice that there is a difference between being conservative and defending well so let’s talk a little bit about modern back five theory.

Here is a guide breaking down what goes into quality men's footwear. This is focused on men's shoes, as women's shoes, depending on the style, will have different construction techniques and thus standards. 🧵
First, let's set a standard. What does it mean for a pair of shoes to be "good quality?" In this thread, I define that standard to be two things:
— Do the shoes age well?
— Can they be easily repaired?
In short, you should want and be able to wear the shoes for a long time.
— Do the shoes age well?
— Can they be easily repaired?
In short, you should want and be able to wear the shoes for a long time.
We'll start with the part most people see: the uppers.
Quality uppers are made from full grain leather, which shows the natural grain of the hide (pic 1). Low quality uppers will be made from corrected grain, where bad leather has been sanded and given a chemical coating (pic 2)
