These things suck.

Let’s tackle some strategies to get rid of EYE FLOATERS (and optimize your vision):

TOP: Eyes of someone with bad eye floaters

BOTTOM: 6 months after taking a supplement of:

⬩125 mg l-lysine
⬩40 mg vitamin C
⬩26.3 mg grape vine extract
⬩5 mg zinc
⬩100 mg sour orange extract

(called VitroCap N)

People taking this supplement had a near 50% improvement in subjective visual discomfort from eye floaters

And they also had a measurable decrease (~50%) in the amount of their eyes that were gummed up by floaters compared to those that didn’t take it.

The castles of Walmer, Deal and Sandown were constructed between 1539 and 1540 under the rule of Henry VIII to protect the south coast of England from an invasion.

A short thread. 🧵

The design was rather unusual as it was based on circular artillery towers rather than using the trace italienne style of "star fort" fortification which was already popular at the time, but hasn't really been fully adopted in northern Europe.

An alternative version of the design of the castles.

The goal was to have as many cannons firing at the approaching invasion force.

Henry VIII saw the Catholic France and Holy Roman Empire as potential threats after he separated from Rome.

🧵Ehud Olmert just released a map of proposed Palestinian state he offered Abbas in 2008, the final shattering of the myth that Abbas said no to statehood because he did not have a proper map. Palestinians had this map all along, proven by the "Palestine Papers." See detail: 1/

We know for sure that the Palestinian negotiating team had the detailed map when Al Jazeera published the Palestine Papers in 2011. They contained Olmert’s plan in detail with map, see below. The "not having a map to review" excuse is fake. 2/ aljazeera.com/news/2011/1/23…

Here is a full thread on the Olmert offer, for those who want to know more: Olmert & Abbas initiated a peace process with support from President Bush at Annapolis Conference in Nov 2007. They issued the joint statement below with Saudi & Qatari participation at the event. 3/

So I’m doing some digging on Paolo Zampolli. Who is Brina Knauss? Not a sister. Also Zampolli is the one who laundered Melania’s identity and helped her get an Einstein Visa. But there is much more.

He worked for the Terra Mar Project. A now defunct project founded By Ghislaine Maxwell that she shut down a week after Epstein was arrested the final time. Zampolli was a frequent visitor of Melania’s to the White House during the first term. He stayed multiple New Years Eve’s.

In 2020 before leaving office, Trump appointed Zampolli as a Trustee for the Kennedy Center. Take a look from top to bottom. I know why he hates the Kennedy center and wants to rename it after Melania just by reading the honorary chairs alone. The entire list is a bit nuts.

Les Ottomans en Arabie (XIXe - XXe siècles)

1/16

La péninsule Arabique, qualifiée par les Ottomans d' « île des Arabes », n'a jamais été entièrement soumise à l'Empire ottoman. Au XVIe siècle, les Ottomans sont présents dans le Hedjaz, au Yémen ainsi qu'au Ahsa.

Expulsés du Yémen en 1635 par les Zaydites, puis du Ahsa par les Banu Khalid en 1670, les Ottomans restent tout de même actifs dans le commerce de la mer Rouge au début du XVIIIe siècle.

If you ask Claude to “make a presentation,” expect mediocre slides.

Better prompts = better decks.

Here are 7 prompts that fix it: (Open the thread)

1 ▸ Lock In Your Core Message

Prompt:
“The goal of this presentation is to drive [a decision / an action / a shift in thinking]. Help me define one clear takeaway that my audience will still remember a week after they leave the room.”

2 ▸ Know Your Room First

Prompt:
Act as a presentation strategist. My audience is [role, industry, seniority level]. Their biggest misconception or frustration about this topic is: [paste here]. Explain what they truly care about, what motivates them, and what would make them lose interest immediately.

The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism against American Citizens".
whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/…

After a brief editorial opening, the article lists 44 incidents with a total of 992 US deaths. The source of the data wasn't given. Where did it come from?

Unlike the Iraq war or the Russia collusion allegation, the reporting didn't come from an intelligence assessment, flawed or otherwise.

It turns out that the list was plagiarized by the White House from a June 19, 2025 list (fdd.org/analysis/2025/…) prepared by a former AIPAC employee (Tzvi Kahn) for a think tank (FDD) founded "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America". The think tank's original identity was "EMET (Hebrew for 'truth')". The June 19, 2025 publication was literally on the eve of the first US bombing of Iran on June 21, 2025.

In this thread, I'll compare each and every item in the White House statement to the corresponding item in the original list by the former AIPAC employee. The list is virtually identical. Any slight changes are always in the change of ratcheting up the underlying allegation.

2/ Here's the first set of comparisons between the two documents. There are going to be about 7 pages of this. Note the more or less exact match of 5 incidents. Only the two grey outlined boxes don't match. The slight changes in the plagiarized White House version are occasionally in the direction of embellishment.

3/ the next six incidents match in both FDD and White House lists. The White House version adds "Iran-backed" in all six lists and made a firm attribution where FDD had noted "claimed responsibility".

🧵 THREAD: This was coordinated.

Joe Kent goes on Tucker Carlson. Within minutes, the exact same clip, same caption, same outrage floods the internet.

Not organic. Not coincidence.

The trigger quote, "The Israelis drove the decision" to go to war with Iran, was clipped and posted across hundreds of accounts almost simultaneously.
Not minutes after it trended. During the broadcast.
Real breaking news takes time to spread. This had a running start.

Who amplified it? A coalition that should make you raise an eyebrow.

Russia, Iran, Hamas, and Alt Right dissidents. All posting the same thing. At the same time.

物流が停止し、食料の供給が途絶えた後、どう生き延びればいいのか、様々な防災の本を先日から読んでいますが、対応が難しい。日本の防災の本の多くは長くても数週間で外部からの救援が前提で、長期的な破局は想定外。今のところ唯一、長期破局に備える本は「本気の食料備蓄」(徳間書店)のみですね

「本気の食料備蓄」はプレッパーで防災ユーチューバーの高荷智也さんが書いた本で、社会インフラが停止し救援のこない壊滅的破局、イエローストーンの破局噴火などに備えた長期備蓄の本で、数か月の備蓄及びインフラ停止の中でサバイバルすることを目指す本。ただ、やはり数か月が限界ぽい。厳しいね..

高荷智也「『普通の大規模災害』程度で餓死することはそうありません。では『普通ではない災害』が発生したら、話は変わってきます。現代日本において食料危機は、普通ではない事態であり、つまり(国の防災計画の)想定外です。公助・共助はイレギュラーに弱く、自助による生き残りが必要となります」

I ACCIDENTALLY OPENED MY CTO'S PERSONAL NOTION WORKSPACE AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY HE SHIPS 5X FASTER THAN THE REST OF US.

He is 48. I am 26. He manages 3 products and never works past 5 PM.
I work 10 hours a day and barely clear my Jira board.
In his workspace, one specific document explained everything:

Most people panic when the workload scales. They work longer hours, burn out, and eventually drop the ball. High performers do not manage time. They manage boundaries.

The document was a list of strict operating rules. Here are 18 systems you can steal.

1. The Meeting Rejector

Situation: Someone sends an agenda-less invite blocking your core working hours.
Response: I need to protect my deep work blocks today. Could you send over a brief memo instead? If we still need to sync after, let us schedule 15 minutes tomorrow.

Why it works: Defaulting to yes for meetings destroys momentum. Forcing a memo makes the organizer actually think through what they need. 90 percent of the time, the memo solves the problem and the meeting never happens.

2. The Default to Async

Situation: A quick question interrupts your flow state on Slack.
Response: I am heads down on a critical sprint until 2 PM. I will review this and drop my thoughts in the thread before the end of the day.

Why it works: Asking for a minute never takes a minute. It takes 20 minutes to regain your focus. Training your team that you are not immediately available forces them to problem-solve independently first.

Here are 12 prompts that take you from financial chaos to total control in 30 days:

(Save this before it disappears)

1. The Dave Ramsey Complete Financial Snapshot

"You are a senior certified financial planner trained in Dave Ramsey's methodology who has helped 10,000+ families go from financial chaos to total control — because you can't fix what you can't see, and most people have no idea where their money actually goes.

I need a complete financial snapshot that shows me exactly where I stand right now — the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Snapshot:

- Net worth calculation: add up everything I own (cash, investments, property, vehicles) minus everything I owe (credit cards, student loans, mortgage, car loans)
- Monthly income: every source of money coming in after taxes (salary, side hustle, freelance, rental, dividends)
- Monthly expenses: categorize every dollar going out (housing, food, transportation, subscriptions, entertainment, debt payments)
- Cash flow verdict: am I positive (spending less than I earn) or negative (spending more than I earn) and by how much
- Savings rate: what percentage of my income am I actually keeping (most Americans save less than 5%)
- Emergency fund status: how many months of expenses could I survive if I lost my income tomorrow
- Debt-to-income ratio: total monthly debt payments divided by gross monthly income (above 36% is danger zone)
- Financial health score: rate my overall financial health from 1-10 with specific reasoning
- Biggest money leak: the single biggest area where I'm hemorrhaging money without realizing it
- Top 3 priorities: the three most urgent financial actions ranked by impact

Format as a Dave Ramsey-style financial snapshot with a clear dashboard, honest assessment, and a prioritized action list.

My finances: [LIST YOUR MONTHLY INCOME, MONTHLY EXPENSES BY CATEGORY, ALL DEBTS WITH BALANCES AND INTEREST RATES, AND CURRENT SAVINGS]"

2. The Wachtell Lipton Freelance and Contractor Agreement

"You are a senior associate at Wachtell Lipton who drafts independent contractor agreements that protect companies from misclassification lawsuits, scope creep disputes, and intellectual property ownership fights.

I need a complete freelance or independent contractor agreement that protects both parties.

Draft:

- Scope of work: exactly what the contractor will deliver with specific milestones and deadlines
- Payment terms: fixed project fee or hourly rate, payment schedule, invoicing process, and late payment penalties
- Intellectual property assignment: all work product created during the engagement is owned by the hiring party
- Work-for-hire clause: explicitly state that deliverables are "works made for hire" under copyright law
- Independent contractor status: clear language establishing contractor is NOT an employee (critical for IRS compliance)
- Confidentiality clause: contractor cannot share business secrets learned during the engagement
- Non-compete scope: reasonable restrictions on contractor working with direct competitors during and after engagement
- Revision and approval process: how many revision rounds are included and what triggers additional charges
- Termination rights: how either party can end the agreement (with notice period) and what happens to partial work
- Liability limitation: cap on damages and mutual indemnification so neither party faces unlimited financial exposure

Format as a complete, ready-to-sign independent contractor agreement with signature blocks and a plain-English summary of key terms.

My contractor situation: [DESCRIBE WHETHER YOU'RE THE HIRING PARTY OR CONTRACTOR, THE TYPE OF WORK, PAYMENT STRUCTURE, AND TIMELINE]"

Harvard researchers had 12 people read on an iPad for 4 hours before bed.

For 5 nights straight.

Then they measured what happened to their brain chemistry.

Here's what screens before bed are really doing to your body:

The study was led at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

12 healthy adults.

5 nights on an iPad. 5 nights with a printed book.

They measured melatonin (hourly blood samples), brain waves, sleep latency, REM sleep, and next-day alertness.

The iPad suppressed melatonin by 55%.

Printed books showed no suppression.

Melatonin release was delayed by over 1.5 hours.

It also took ~10 minutes longer to fall asleep, with less REM sleep (109 vs 120 minutes).

Sama kek tahun lalu, gw bakal coba semaksimal mungkin buat menghimpun semua poin penting yang disampaikan pada video berdurasi sekitar 1 jam 45 menit tersebut.

Jadi, kalo ada kekurangan atau kesalahan, gw sangat terbuka untuk kemungkinan diskusi.

Disclaimer jg, kalo misal berharap pgn baca utas yg isinya cuma full caci-maki yg ga objektif, sepertinya utas ini ga akan bisa memenuhi ekspektasi bnyk org.

Karena harus diakui, selain hal lucu, video ini jg bnyk ngasih tawaran perspektif baru yg cocok dipake buat bahan belajar

The final report on the Iberia Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) blackout is out.

A lot of people will be blaming renewables and talk about inertia. But the cause was bad voltage control and that's surprisingly easy to fix. Let me explain.
entsoe.eu/publications/b…

The chair of the ENTSO-E (European grid operators) board Damián Cortinas stated at the press conference: "The problem is not renewable energy, but voltage control, regardless of the type of generation."
sciencemediacentre.es/en/final-black…

You have to understand that traditionally, grids were managed largely through frequency control. If the frequency went down that meant more demand than supply. So you quickly burned more fossil fuels. If the frequency went up you burned less. Simple.

The 50-Year-Old Cancer Miracle Hiding in Plain Sight

Back in 1968, the FDA discovered something incredible: a common dye combined with DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) could destroy cancer cells without harming healthy ones.

Instead of fast-tracking this breakthrough, they chose to bury the evidence.

But now, as @MidwesternDoc shows, doctors have proven this combination works—safely treating otherwise “incurable” cancers. 🧵

DMSO—or Dimethyl sulfoxide—was discovered in the 1960s and quickly gained medical recognition.

It turns out DMSO has a shocking ability to treat everything from inflammation and stroke to autoimmune diseases and even cancer. midwesterndoctor.com/p/hundreds-of-…

The dye used in combination with DMSO was Hematoxylin, a natural extract traditionally used for staining tissue under a microscope.

When doctors combined it with DMSO, they witnessed something extraordinary: aggressive, recurring cancers began to vanish.

It worked even in cases where standard treatments had failed. The results were so promising, they should’ve launched a new era of cancer care.

This story keeps getting more interesting.

A SuperMicro cofounder just got caught smuggling $2.5 Billion of Nvidia GPUs into China… using a hairdryer.

This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Here’s a quick tldr if you aren’t up to speed:
(🧵1)

Late 2022 - US Gov starts imposing export restrictions on Nvidia. China starts finding export workarounds/evasions. And Nvidia starts finding product “downgrades” to “technically satisfy” restrictions.

Oct 2023 - US Gov escalates restrictions because of above workarounds by Nvidia and China.

Jan 2024 - news breaks that China is getting prohibited Nvidia GPUs since 2022.

April 2024 - we know large amounts are smuggled inside of servers made by Super Micro, Dell, & Gigabyte

By Nov 2024, Chinese AI startups are flexing their Nvidia purchases on social media & even showing unboxing with the Super Micro logo. They haven’t broken any laws (it’s only the person doing the export that is) but it’s pretty brazen and shows how big the black market has become.

(🧵2)

Which brings us to March 2026. The US DOJ announces charges against 3 people. One is Super Micro’s co-founder who is a US citizen.

DOJ gave one example of the many ways they were doing it. SuperMicro shipped servers filled with Nvidia GPIs to a Taiwan company (legal). That company then legally exported them to China. To evade the US inspectors, this company staged thousands of “dummy” servers and used hair dryers to move labels & serial numbers over to the boxes. This made it look like the actual servers were still at the allowed location. This was discovered on security cam footage:

Starlink terminals on the Russian front are now just expensive dinner tables.

@elonmusk shut off every unregistered device — and it turns out the entire Russian military machine ran on an American commercial product.

In this war, internet drives the entire war machine on both sides.

Command posts look like a cross between a gamer's room — with dozens of screens streaming drone feeds, coordinating artillery in real time.

Small groups, drones, and real-time coordination determine the difference between life and death. Whoever detects the enemy first and relays coordinates to a drone operator fastest — survives. The chain works when there's internet.

Masjid Al-Aqsa is CLOSED on Eid for the FIRST time since 1967 by Israeli colonizers

One of Islam’s holiest sites…
Shut on one of its most sacred days.

Since the war on Iran began, Israel sealed Al-Aqsa for 19+ days.

Israel is planning a false flag strike on Al-Aqsa to blame Iran, destroy the mosque, and build their Third Temple.

Jewish rabbis have already said it out loud.

A thread 🧵

Jewish rabbi Yosef Mizrachi openly said:

“If it was up to me… pretend one missile came from Iran and hit Al-Aqsa.”

Clear the site. Blame Iran.

Trigger religious war so Arab states turn against Tehran.

Build the Temple on the ruins.

That is the false flag they are planning.

Masjid Al-Aqsa, located in occupied East Jerusalem, Palestine, is the third holiest site in Islam after Mecca and Madinah.

It was the first Qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims.

And for over 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide, it holds deep spiritual and historical significance.
