En Roma hay un edificio construido hace 2000 años con hormigón (sí, con hormigón), pero sujeto por una columna de luz y espacio.

Quizá en el mundo haya otro edificio mejor, pero no creo que lo encontremos en esta vida.

En #LaBrasaTorrijos de hoy, el Panteón de Agripa.

HILO 👇
Ah, Roma. Todo el mundo conoce Roma. Todo el mundo ha estado en Roma. Y si no ha estado, la ha visto en unas cien mil películas.

La hemos visto en Vespa con Nani Moretti y en otra Vespa con Audrey Hepburn y Gregory Peck. Se ve que lo de la Vespa se lleva mucho en Roma.
Roma ha salido en libros, en tebeos, en videojuegos, en series, en programas de cocina y en un montón de pelis de, bueno, de eso, de romanos.

En tan sólo 72 horas, la presidenta @Claudiashein y el secretario de gobierno @mario_delgado han movido dos piezas sumamente sensibles, de cara al escándalo y reprobable despido de Marx Arriaga: la inclusión de género y la justicia para los pueblos originarios.

Estos ejes, al ser empleados para manipular un discurso político con la intención de ocultar los verdaderos motivos que existen detrás (transformar la #NEM para reinsertar principios neoliberales) corren el peligro de erosionarse al ser utilizados para estos efectos:

La lucha feminista no debió constituirse como un fundamento para ejercer la violencia contra uno de los defensores más firmes del Humanismo Mexicano, @MarxArriaga.

De la manipulación incorrecta que puedan hacer de la lucha de los pueblos originarios no quisiera ni pensarlo:

🧵 When I heard Entdecktes Judenthum (aka Judaism Unmasked) had never been translated into English in its 2000-page entirety, I felt compelled to do it myself. I was able to procure one of the 3000 copies ever produced of the second edition printed in 1711. Image
Image
🧵 This won’t be an easy endeavor, not only due to the breadth of the work but also due to it being in Early New High German and fraktur.

And in general, translating anything requires a certain feeling of words you’re trying to express. Even the title itself directly translates to “Discovered Judaism”, but what Eisenmenger is trying to convey is that he is uncovering it, revealing it, bringing it into the light of day, unmasking it, or better - exposing it. To separate this work from others that may follow, I’ll be calling it “Entdecktes Judenthum - Judaism Exposed”.Image
Image
🧵 Tentatively, I’ll be using Transkribus to extract the text as it’s specialized in historical documents and trained on old German fraktur, or any other OCR that gets me good results, then @Gab__AI to translate into modern English as its features can allow me to run the text through multiple open source models, though I’m open to other ideas and methods as well. If you’re a German-English speaker, your insight would be much appreciated.Image

Perplexity is terrifyingly good at competitive intelligence.

If you use these 10 prompts, you’ll see why:

(Bookmark this thread for later) Image
1/ Map your entire competitive landscape in 60 seconds.

Prompt:

"Act as a competitive intelligence analyst. Give me a full breakdown of [Company X]'s market position right now — pricing strategy, target customers, key differentiators, and recent strategic moves. Cite sources."

Most people Google this for hours.

Perplexity does it in one shot with live data.
2/ Find exactly where your competitor is losing customers.

Prompt:

"Search recent reviews, Reddit threads, and forums from the last 6 months where users complain about [Competitor]. Summarize the top 5 recurring pain points and frustrations."

This is like reading your competitor's support tickets.

If you work in AI and don’t understand these 10 concepts, you’re already behind:

(thread)
1/ Tokens

When you type a message to ChatGPT, it doesn't read words.
It reads tokens.

A token is roughly 3-4 characters. "Unbelievable" is 4 tokens. "AI" is 1.
This matters because every model has a token limit. Hit it, and the model starts forgetting earlier parts of the conversation.Image
Here's why this should change how you work:

If you're stuffing a 50-page doc into a prompt and wondering why the output is garbage tokens are your problem.

The model didn't "read" your doc. It ran out of budget halfway through and started guessing.

Shorter, denser context = better outputs. Always.

🚨 ALERTE – VRAI MENSONGE D’ÉTAT 🚨
Ce que le gouvernement cache aux Français sur leur facture d’électricité éclate.
👉 @SebLecornu et @RolandLescure ont :

1️⃣ Signé le décret de la PPE3
➡️ SANS vote du Parlement, hors processus démocratique.
➡️ alors que cette programmation va (encore) doubler la facture d’électricité des Français payeurs,
➡️ en repoussant VOLONTAIREMENT un rapport d’@EDFofficiel , prêt depuis le 26 novembre 2025, et très hostile à la trajectoire retenue.

2️⃣ Fait DISPARAITRE un chapitre entier du rapport EDF publié le 16 février
➡️ Chapitre 5 clef CENSURÉ
➡️ Titre exact (chapitre fantôme) :
« 5. Impact économique d’un développement soutenu de l’offre d’électricité renouvelable dans un contexte de demande électrique atone, et leviers sur l’équilibre offre-demande » (page 66)

❌ 20 PAGES très dérangeantes ont été supprimées par le gouvernement.
❌ 20 PAGES d’analyse économique, financière, lucide.
❌ 20 PAGES dévastatrices pour la stratégie du gouvernement hostile aux français et à notre économie.

👉 Cette tentative d’occultation est d’autant plus grossière que des avis officiels et publics avaient déjà alerté, notamment le Commissariat a l’energie atomique. Et que @LePoint et @LaTribune avaient déjà cité des passages… qui ont disparus du rapport final censuré.

📌 Cette analyse existe.
📌 Elle a été écrite.
📌 Elle a été caviardée.
📌 On nous prend pour des buses.

➡️ L’État doit immédiatement autoriser EDF à publier ces analyses supprimées ( sans tripatouillage cette fois, on comparera avec les textes originaux).
➡️ La France a le droit de connaître la vérité sur ce qu’elle va payer.

⚠️ Ces documents seront fondamentaux lorsqu’un véritable référendum énergétique devra enfin avoir lieu.
Parce que le destin énergétique du pays se décide sur nos factures, pas dans des décrets dissimulés. En nous traitant comme des #gueux.

🇫🇷 Puisque le pouvoir ne s’intéresse plus au peuple, le peuple va s’y intéresser lui-même.
👉 Par le vote direct : un referendum qui tôt ou tard aura lieu.
👉 En pleine lumière.

Il s’agit de notre vie.
Il s’agit de nos factures.
Il s’agit de démocratie.
Il s’agit d’amour vrai pour la France - gaullien.
Pas de tripatouillages de l’info pour une coterie qui sert des intérêts privés.
En bon français, on a clairement affaire à des procédés de très bas étage

In my clinic, the question is always the same: “What’s the fastest way to reverse insulin resistance?”

The answer isn’t dieting.

It’s leg strength.

Here’s the physiology most doctors never explain: Image
Your skeletal muscle is the largest glucose sink you own.

When your legs are weak, they can’t clear glucose efficiently.

So your pancreas compensates.

It pumps out more insulin.
That chronic hyperinsulinemia: That’s what builds visceral fat.

Your fasting glucose might be “normal.”

95 mg/dL. Looks fine.

But your fasting insulin is 12?

That’s early metabolic dysfunction.

Now NATO asks Ukraine to train their soldiers.

Germany signed a deal with Kyiv to send Ukrainian troops to Bundeswehr schools — to teach drone warfare and battlefield tech integration, Times.

German officer: “No one in NATO currently has more war experience than Ukraine.” 1/ Image
After years of war, Ukraine has unmatched experience in drone use, counter-drone defense, and rapid command-tech integration. 2/
The need became obvious at Hedgehog 2025.

In Estonia, 10 Ukrainians mock-disabled 2 NATO battalions in hours, destroying 17 armored vehicles in half a day. 16,000 troops from 12 states took part. 3/

McFaul: As an American, I feel ashamed of my country. I cannot look Ukrainian soldiers in the eyes.

I hope it is not too late to reverse this course and put government back on the side of democracy against tyranny.

I am a patriotic American. I want to feel proud again. 1/ Image
At the 2026 Munich Security Conference, Marco Rubio did not mention Putin’s 2022 full-scale invasion in his speech.

The largest war in Europe since 1945 went unaddressed at a security forum dedicated to Europe’s security. 2/
Since 2025, Europe has surpassed the United States in military and financial aid to Ukraine.

U.S. government support has dropped close to zero. American companies sell weapons to Europe, but Washington does not share the burden. 3/

There is an enormous scandal brewing at @IRB_Canada. Canadians are being screwed by massive fraudulent asylum claims, and it all relates to terrible incentive structures.

The thread below is email correspondence from a whistle-blower employee.

1/
First, some context.

We have half a million asylum claimants in Canada currently...triple from 2022 levels and now accounting for 1 in every 84 people in the country.

2/ Image
Now from the whistle-blower employee at @IRB_Canada:

"I worked as a decision maker in immigration. The amount of fraud and mismanagement is a massive scandal worthy of a national public inquiry waiting to happen." 3/

The Judicial Conference has released a new policy that could materially alter the character of the federal courts, allowing judges to comment on what they deem “illegitimate forms of criticism and attacks.” It is not just injudicious, it is dangerous... jonathanturley.org/2026/02/18/rul…
...The added freedom afforded to judges to engage in commentary will do little to change the debate. It may, however, greatly erode the trust in what was once considered “our least dangerous branch.”
...Given increasingly injudicious comments, one would think that Chief Justice John Roberts and the Judicial Conference would seek to tighten, not loosen, the limits on judicial commentary. I am not suggesting that these past statements would be viewed as acceptable under the new rules. However, I fail to understand, in light of such controversial statements, the Conference elected to relax the rules at this time.

Since most of my fellow Europeans haven’t had the time or stomach to fully acquaint themselves with who’s who in Trump’s up and coming American Reich, I’ve taken it upon myself to create a short guide to the main cartoon villains and abominations of this administration.🧵
Affectionately referred to as "pure fucking evil" by her closest friends, family and by everyone who has ever met, seen, or heard her really, Kristi Noem is the woman Trump tasked with deporting people to Salvadoran concentration camps, after learning that she shot a puppy.
Married to an obscenely rich man whose children were already having children by the time she was born, and often seen wearing oversized crosses to differentiate herself from her North Korean counterpart, Karoline Leavitt is currently serving as White House Press Secretary.

@HellmerMitzi @Anna_Giaritelli It is not cruelty to encourage undocumented foreign nationals to return to their home countries.

America, by law, has not chosen to welcome the entire world to live in our country.

It was cruel for the Biden Administration to lie to them.
@HellmerMitzi @Anna_Giaritelli This was cruelty and environmental degradation. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
