Godinama pišem Razodvijanje.
Zavirila sam u sve pore prelaska. Bavila sam se Bardo Todolom, tibetanskom knjigom mrtvih, još u Egiptu sam se bavila egipatskom knjigom mrtvih, i mnogim drugim knjigama i uvek mi je nešto falilo. Uvek je nešto bilo sakriveno.
Mesecima unazad se bavim sumerskim tablicama. I čini mi se da sam najzad našla sve. 👇
1849. godine britanski arheolog Ostin Henri Lird, iskopao je glinene tablice u Ninivi, tadašnji Sumer, današnji Irak. 150 godina je trebalo da se najzad razume tekst klinastog pisma. Tablice su katalogizovane, sačuvane i uglavnom ignorisanje. Onda je mali tim nezavisnih istraživača konačno preveo ceo tekst.👇
Početkom 2000. godine ceo tekst je preveden ali nijedan univerzitet nije hteo da objavi prevod. Tablica je opisivala ciklus, ciklus ponovnog rođenja u kojem je čovečanstvo zarobljeno više od 200000 godina. Tablica je imenovala i bića koja su ceo ciklus dozajnirala. 👇

Kellogg: Since Iran’s revolution, eight U.S. presidents have dealt with this regime, but only Trump has done something.

The IRGC was created to protect the revolution, not the country. If it survives, this problem returns in 5, 10 or 20 years. 1/
Kellogg: Iran’s “Mosaic Defense” was built to fight the U.S. by decentralizing the IRGC, so everyone acts independently.

But Tehran never accounted for a president like Trump — and that is the mistake they made. 2/
Kellogg: Iran talks a good game, but it lies and deceives.

That is why take Kharg Island, hold something of value, put the theocratic leadership at risk, and only give it back when there are firm guarantees for the future. 3/

This is going to be long.

Last semester I suspected I had a major issue with use of AI in my survey courses, so I inserted what is known as a trojan horse (not the virus kind) into the directions of a paper assignment. As it turned out, I did in fact have a major problem, and a post on Threads about it accidentally went quasi-viral and ultimately became a Huffington Post article and an NPR interview. (Links at the end)
The response from fellow educators and the majority of other readers was general horror, while a minority of voices accused me of setting my students up for failure (by catching them cheating) and creating a classroom atmosphere of distrust (where the AI use had apparently not already done that).
The results of my approach though raised a serious question I have tried to answer: How do I de-incentivize AI use? I don’t have all of the answers to that question, but I think I do have some. I spent the past semester experimenting.

Everyone tells you about Germany's efficiency.

The punctuality. The engineering. The order.

Nobody warns you about the other things.

The things you only discover after you've already moved there.

10 of them. Right here. 🧵🇩🇪
𝟭. Your neighbours will knock about your washing machine.

Not hostility.
In most German apartment buildings, there are designated laundry hours.

Washing machines make noise, and noise disturbs the 𝘙𝘶𝘩𝘦 – the peace.
And Germans take 𝘙𝘶𝘩𝘦 seriously.

The rules are posted in the building.
Read them before your first wash cycle.

This is your first lesson in Germany
before you even leave the apartment.

Virupaksha: The All Seeing Eye and The Core of the Super Sukhoi Upgrade

A 🧵 Image
1) The Basics:
a) Upscaled version of the Uttam AESA
b) Has 2400 GaNs (Gallium Nitride) based TR modules compared to GaAs(Gallium arsenide)
c) 5x the power output and tighter module packing
d) Can track 64-100 targets of 1-3m2 RCS at 400km+ and 0.01m2 RCS(stealth) at 200km+*
2) Need For The Upgrade:
Currently the Su30mki use a N1011m Bars radar. It is a PESA (Passive Electronically Scanned Array) radar. Meaning it has one large source of energy that gets passed through multiple elements (phase shifters). It offers decent range Image

Bank of America just sent their institutional clients a report.

They outlined three market signals that preceded every big market crash in history is happening right now.

Retail investors probably have no idea about them.

What each one is + why they predict a crash:🧵
The fastest way to know what's coming in this market is to study what's already happened.

Wall Street's biggest banks already did this, because their own capital and their clients' portfolios depend on avoiding the next crash.

Here are the 3 signs BofA is watching:
Sign 1: The Maginot Line

The 30-year Treasury yield just crossed 5% for the first time in over a decade.

BofA calls this the "dam" holding back the bond market.

Once it breaches that level, investors are demanding more from the US government because they sense risk.

I’m American.

After my PhD, I went to India.

What I experienced dismantled my Western worldview.

Here are 8 lessons that permanently rewired how I see life:👇

1. Death is not hidden from life. Image
Image
My boyfriend and I sat every evening for over a month at Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi.

Night after night, we watched the funeral fires burn.

Skulls cracked.
Arms fell from the pyres.

Death wasn’t something to avoid.
It was something to witness.

My lesson:
When impermanence is visible, life becomes sacred.Image
2. The body understands what the mind cannot explain.

In Rishikesh, I walked for hours beside the Ganges.

Mountains around me.
Ashrams.
Monkeys.

The rhythm of walking did something thinking could never do.
It returned me to the process of living.

My lesson:
The body discovers presence before the mind understands the process.

We are short $MRAM (Everspin Technologies), a niche industrial memory chipmaker whose stock has soared 300%+ as speculative investors pile into anything remotely associated with “memory” and AI. Report at (1/8)kerr.co/mram
The problem is Everspin doesn’t have a meaningful role in the hyperscale AI infrastructure buildout driving today’s semiconductor boom. Its largest end market is casino gaming and slot machines, not hyperscalers and AI servers (2/8)
MRAM addresses a fundamentally different set of problems than the memory architectures driving today’s AI spending cycle. HBM and DRAM power AI clusters. MRAM is largely used in industrial and embedded systems where persistence matters more than scale or throughput (3/8)

BRIGADE vs DIVISION vs BATTALION — WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? 🇳🇬🪖
Many people hear “Battalion”, “Brigade” and “Division” in Nigerian Army reports and get confused. Image
✅ BATTALION
Usually 300–1,000 soldiers.
Frontline unit that does most of the fighting.
Commanded by a Lt Colonel.

✅ BRIGADE
Made up of several battalions.
Usually 3,000–5,000 soldiers.
Commanded by a Brigadier General. Image
✅ DIVISION
Made up of several brigades.
Usually 10,000–20,000 soldiers.
Commanded by a Major General.
Easy way to remember:
Battalion fights.
Brigade controls multiple battalions.
Division controls the whole war zone. Image

Who is the kingpin of the lie about ‘Christian persecution in India? 🧵

#OpIndia is going to reveal the nefarious designs of a scam tainted Christian pastor funded by the international Church network, now under the ED scanner, to defame India and Hindus.

His name? Archbishop Joseph D’Souza - the man comparing Modi govt’s FCRA crackdown to Nazi persecution of Jews.Image
The international anti-India, anti-Hindu ecosystem is obsessed with D’Souza. From American Christian broadcasting networks like CBN News and Christianity Today, they all want to hear him spew venom, delegitimising Hindu victims of forced conversion. . Image
From the UK's Premier Christianity to Canadian broadcasting networks, Western evangelical media have consistently handed Joseph D'Souza a megaphone to weaponize this fake 'persecution' narrative. Image

A mind-blowing-but-true fact about Trump's stock trading.

Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026.

The 535 Members of Congress made ~$635 million in trades in 2025.

Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did in a year.
Citations-

Congress traded ~$635M in 2025, as calculated by Common Cause: commoncause.org/articles/congr…

Trump Q1 '26 financial disclosure: extapps2.oge.gov/201/Presiden.n…

Trump's 3,642 trades are reported in dollar ranges; the values add up to a range of ~$210M - $700M total
A few notes here-

1) Congress and the Executive Branch disclose assets in dollar ranges; different outlets have different methodology for how they report those numbers, which is why you see different outlets report different numbers for Trump or Members of Congress.

Bond markets are flashing red.

Today, the US 30Y Note Yield officially hit its highest level since July 2007, at 5.19%.

This will soon become Americans’ biggest problem, yet the vast majority do not even know it is happening.

What is happening? Let us explain.

(a thread) Image
First, it is truly incredible how quickly we ended up in this situation.

Prior to the Iran War, yields were finally dropping after years of persistent inflation.

The 10Y Note Yield was down to 3.92%. 80 days later, it is up +75 basis points.

That is a MASSIVE move in yields. Image
In the early days of the Iran War, US Treasury Yields moved higher, but the move was largely contained.

Consensus was that the Iran War would be brief and the Strait of Hormuz would not remained closed.

Today, both Iran and the US have closed Hormuz and traffic remains near 0. Image

SHOURYAGATHA: PAMPOSH WARRIORS

STORY NO 3

IN GREMBO OF HIMALAYAS: LIFE IN BOOTS, BROGUES & CRAMPONS


1/14 Image

Born in Ander Hama, Kashmir where Army boots marched past Himalayan silence like thunder on velvet. Destiny was drafted between drumbeats & drifts, as certain as snow on peaks. Drugmulla camp at his doorstep. Proximity, close and constant, forged a future like iron in fire.

Kupwara schooled him. Amar Singh College crowned him a X country conqueror who raced like a river refusing to freeze. Nonstop75km Srinagar to Kupwara. Collapsed:like a tree felled by its own weight. Lay broken, yet unbroken. Flesh falters like paper. Mind commands like steel.3/14 Image

La Política Británica Hacia Los Judíos Durante La Segunda Guerra Mundial @kritik_bakis aracılığıylakritikbakis.com/es/la-politica…
El Reino Unido priorizó el imperio y el petróleo antes que abrir completamente sus puertas a los refugiados judíos. La historia aún debate el costo moral de esa decisión. #Holocausto #Historia #WWII #Geopolitica
El Reino Unido salvó miles de niños con el Kindertransport, pero cerró sus puertas a muchas familias judías durante el Holocausto. #Holocausto #Historia #WWII
