Michael E. Hayden, an Antifa activist who was a spokesman for the SPLC, wrote in a recent post that he was part of the "Intelligence Project" while there, but that it was suddenly "destroyed." I wonder if the project is what was described in the DOJ indictment, describing how the SPLC paid millions to neo-Nazis, KKK members, and far-right extremists so that they could use them as talking points for fundraising. Did the SPLC dismantle that project to hide evidence?
@FBIDirectorKash @DAGToddBlanche, here's someone you should investigate.

Hey @hannahgais, you were part of the SPLC's "Intelligence Project" with Michael Hayden. Did you have any knowledge of your employer paying neo-Nazis and KKK members millions of dollars as part of a scheme to defraud the public into donating to "fighting hate"? Your salary was paid from that money, which may explain why you aren't interested in exposing violent extremism — just the far-right that is allegedly bankrolled by your longtime employer.
This is a very interesting area of contact sport and brain injury research, and often misunderstood and inaccurately reported. Here's a thread with some interesting (I think) paradoxes and unknowns... 1/
First, concussion rates in men & women at the ELITE level are actually SIMILAR. It's often reported as higher in women, but data refutes this. Here's women (left) & men's (right) concussion incidence in a bunch of elite tournaments around the world. Women = 11, Men = 13 per 1000h
So what this means is that if you watch 100 matches of men's & women's rugby, you'll see more or less the same NUMBER of concussions (45 to 50) in each. It does not appear, per match, or per 1000 hours, that women are more likely to be concussed. However, now the plot thickens...

// My exact system for spotting which companies will make sales reps rich 12 to 18 months before everyone else figures it out - and why the single biggest variable in a sales career has nothing to do with your skills //
In 2019, I was watching two reps I knew personally run the same playbook. Same product knowledge. Same call volume. Same close rates.
One was clearing $140k. The other was clearing $380k.
Same skill level. Different companies.
I spent the next two years reverse-engineering why that gap existed and how to predict - before accepting an offer - which side of it you'd end up on.
What I found changed how I coached everyone who came after.

What I found changed how I coached everyone who came after.
In order to understand the system, you first have to understand why most reps pick companies completely wrong.
The conventional wisdom you hear everywhere is to chase brand names and big OTEs.
> "Get a Salesforce logo."
> "Snowflake is paying $250k OTE."
> "I heard CrowdStrike is on fire right now."
Everybody's running the same playbook - apply to whatever's hot on LinkedIn, take the highest offer, figure out the rest later.
What few ppl tell you is that OTE is a marketing tactic.
It's what the company wants you to believe top reps make, when the actual question - the one that determines your W2 - isn't what the OTE is. It's whether the environment you're stepping into structurally allows you to hit it.
That's the part that never shows up in the offer letter.

Here's the core concept that changes everything: Environment Arbitrage.
Environment Arbitrage is the gap between what a rep earns at a well-positioned company versus what an equally skilled rep earns at a poorly positioned one.
I define it as the earnings differential, over a 3-year window, between two reps with identical skills who land at companies with different structural tailwinds.
That gap is routinely 2-3x. Every single year. Not because one rep works harder. Not because one rep is more talented. Because one rep is sitting in a rising market with capital behind them and buyers who need to buy, and the other rep is pushing rope at a company with bad unit economics and a product the buyer can live without.
This is the thing nobody in recruiting ever tells you. They can't tell you. It's not in their incentive to tell you.

The Iran war reveals that the US and Europe operate from different assumptions about risk, responsibility, and results—what makes the international system work, or not.
Recognizing these differences is the first step to rebalancing the alliance, Nadia Schadlow argues.

The US and Europe have long had different appetites for risk.
Trump judged that the risk of acting against Iran was worth taking.
Europe, by contrast, has tended to view Iran through the prism of stability, assuming that preserving a tenuous status quo is the paramount objective.

Europe, by contrast, has tended to view Iran through the prism of stability, assuming that preserving a tenuous status quo is the paramount objective.
From the US perspective the goal has been to weaken Iran decisively, accepting short-term disruption in exchange for reducing its capacity to threaten the US, Israel and Gulf states long-term.
Europe, by contrast, fears that a weakened Iran will lash out and create more chaos in the near term.

Když síť není Netflix. Ale část lidí si myslí, že jo…
Noční #rychlovlakno
Minulé vlákno jsem musel smazat. Dostal jsem za něj čočku – a to zaslouženě. Zjednodušil jsem něco, co se zjednodušovat nemá. V energetice totiž nestačí „mít pravdu pocitově“. Tady musíte mít pravdu i pro rejpaly. Tak jdeme na to.
V elektroenergetice nevzniká problém proto, že by někdo neplatil (máme fixní poplatek třeba za jistič) Problém vzniká proto, že část lidí se veze a platí méně, než odpovídá tomu, jakou kapacitu systému využívá. A ten rozdíl se nikam neztratí. Jen se přesune na někoho jiného.
Dnes totiž neplatíte hlavně za to, že máte k dispozici výkon, kdykoliv ho potřebujete. Platíte hlavně za to, kolik elektřiny odeberete za rok (poplatek za distribuci). A to není totéž. Síť se nestaví na kilowatthodiny. Síť se staví na moment, kdy ji potřebují všichni najednou.
A přesně v tomhle rozporu se rodí moderní free riding. Ne jako podvod. Ale jako důsledek chytrého chování v systému, který přestal odpovídat realitě.

Free riding v energetice není o tom, že by někdo „neplatil za síť“. To je líná zkratka.
Free riding znamená něco mnohem méně viditelného: někdo využívá kapacitu systému stejně jako ostatní, ale jeho příspěvek na tu kapacitu klesá, protože je navázaný hlavně na spotřebu.
A teď ten nepříjemný detail – síť se nestaví podle spotřeby. Nestaví se podle toho, kolik kWh odeberete za rok. Staví se podle toho, kolik výkonu můžete chtít v jeden konkrétní okamžik.
Jinými slovy: systém musí být připravený na váš „nejhorší den“, ne na váš roční průměr. A právě tuhle připravenost dnes velká část plateb vůbec přesně neodráží.

Teď to převeďme do reality.
Domácnost s fotovoltaikou přes den téměř neodebírá elektřinu ze sítě. Její roční spotřeba klesne, účet taky. Vypadá to jako čistá úspora.
Jenže večer, v zimě nebo při několika zatažených dnech se všechno otočí. V tu chvíli chce ze sítě úplně stejný výkon jako kdokoliv jiný. A síť musí být připravená ho dodat okamžitě.
Z pohledu infrastruktury se tedy nic zásadního nezměnilo. Kapacita, kterou musí systém držet, zůstává. Z pohledu plateb ale ano. A právě tady se začíná rozjíždět ten nenápadný, ale velmi reálný problém.

🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨
11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:
• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper
I report. You draw your own conclusions.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

It is NOT confirmed fact that Chesny, who appeared to be encouraging running over protesters, was SPLC's informant.
But the indictment (paragraph 11a) describes informant F-37, and it matches Chesny:
• Member of the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right
• Attended Charlottesville (at SPLC's direction)
• Made racist postings (under SPLC's supervision)
• Helped coordinate transportation for attendees

Now here's why this matters beyond the fraud charges.
Charlottesville became the single most consequential founding event in modern American political infrastructure. Every one of these organizations says... in their own words.... that they exist or were transformed because of August 12, 2017.
