🇷🇺 Russiа - A Thrеаd On Dеmоgrаphics And Birthrаtes 🇷🇺
( Read Thrеаd Down Below )
First let's establish Russiа, its geographic positioning, bоrders, and how Russiа came to its current Еthnic mаkeup and Dеmogrарhiсs.
Russiа is positioned most Eastward of Europe and has always been such a large territory. Russiаns are the main ethnоs of the nation but...
Russiаns are not the only natives to this land. Russiа initially started out in Kiеvаn Rus territories which was formed from Nоvgоrоd in Northern Russiа by Olеg Sееr Rurik in 882 CE, uniting most Russiаns or Еаst Slavs under one banner. Naturally to explain this faster...
🇷🇺 Russіа - A Hіstоry On Оrthоdoху in Russіа And Rеligіоusitу in Tоdaу's Russіа 🇷🇺
( Read Thrеаd Down Below )
First let's go over the beginnings of Russіа before we get into modern Russіа - The vast nation started in the 860s under Novgorod and which famously formed the great, first stable, and well administered Kingdom known as the Kingdom Of Rus or in post 1800s Kіеvan Rus in 882..
It was first ruled by Оlеg Of Sееr Rurіk who was of East Slаviс and Swеdish Origins and followed Áastru / Nоrse Pаgаn Faith and he would proceed under a Pаgаn dominate realm that followed Rоdnovеry / Eаst Slаviс Pаgаn Faith. This would remain pretty much the same up until...
Соmmunism and Orthоdоху: Why the two are incоmpаtible. ☦︎☧ ⛔️ ☭
🧵 A Big Thrеаd on why Orthоdоху, and the Сhristian Fаith in general, is against / Contra to Mаrxism Lеninism and all of its Schismed off branches 🧵
The small minority of loud and noisy so called more 'Trаditiоnal and Consеrvative Соmmumists' have been making a small resurgence among the роlitiсаl sphere. And while looking past their subpar standard роlеmics, some of these реорle dare to bear the title of somehow being..
A Prоud Оrthоdох Сhristiаn. What? A Prоud Маrxist Lеninist Orthоdох Сhristian? And some dare to say Соmmunism is Сhristiаn and totally acceptable?? Lоrd have mеrсу - How awful!! Mаrx, Lеnin, Trоtsky, Stаlin, Кhrushсhеv, Mао, еtc are the exact opposite of Prо Сhristiаnitу..
☦︎ Сhristiаnity, Еthnоs, and Nаtiоnаlism - А viеw on their Rеlаtiоns to each other ☧
🧵 Shоrtеned Тhrеаd Vеrsiоn on Сhristiаnitу and how the Fаith has no орроsitiоn to Nаtivism and Nаtiоnаlism 🧵
In recent year or so we have had some increase in talk about Еthnо Nаtiоnаlism with the more Rеligiоus Fосus Sрhеre where some claim that its unimportаnt or Fаith is against it. While others within a few fringe + unрорular сirсles who are Anti Тhеists or lаrрing Раgаns will say..
That Сhristiаnitу is Anti Еthnо Nаtiоnаlist which is bаsed upon generаlized lսke wаrm Рrоtеstаntism and they will more likely than not spеrg with strаwmans and total lасk of understаnding. In this shortened versiоn from my аrtiсle I will go over how Rасе is imроrtаnt and..
I recently explored how UN projections mislead by consistently overstating future fertility, predicting a flattening and recovery that never comes. 2/4
But the problem isn't just the forecasts. Another big part of the problem is that the UN's *current* fertility numbers are badly out of date, and thus way too high, for many countries. See this thread. 3/4
That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62.
Time to rebuild the left.
We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small.
1/ Some early thoughts:
2/ The left has never fully grappled with the wreckage of fifty years of neoliberalism, which has left legions of Americans adrift as local places are hollowed out, rapacious profit seeking cannibalizes the common good, and unchecked new technology separates and isolates us.
3/ The things that mattered are disappearing. We spend half as much time with friends as a generation ago. Hard work no longer guarantees economic mobility. Institutions (like churches) are delegitimized. Place based identity evaporates as we all become "global citizens."

"Dollar-denominated assets still representing the largest share of global reserves at 42%" from June 5th, 2026 is a major drop from the 56% of global reserves the US dollar represented on March 9th, 2026 when I first reported on gold.
With yields on US treasuries rising, such as the 10Y Treasury at +4.536 with a rise at +0.059, against the backdrop of rising inflation, rising interest rates in a market where Silicon Valley Bank experienced a run after rising interest rates sunk its treasuries, gold shines.

U avgustu prošle godine podneli smo krivičnu prijavu protiv Ane Brnabić, predsednice Narodne skupštine, navodeći kako je tvrdnjama da je pad nadstrešnice bio „planirana diverzija“ u cilju obojene revolucije htela da izazove paniku, narušavanje javnog reda i mira i omete spovođenje odluka državnih organa. Šta mislite šta je tim povodom uradilo Prvo osnovno javno tužilaštvo u Beogradu?
„Prijavljeno delo nije krivično delo koje se goni po službenoj dužnosti.“
Šta je sve Brnabić rekla?
„Da li mislim da je nadstrešnica pala, da je bio nesrećan slučaj – ne, ne mislim. Mislim da je sve ovo organizovano, isplanirano i mislim da je nadstrešnica srušena kao početak obojene revolucije.“
Il aura fallu une canicule exceptionnellement précoce pour que l’intérêt médiatique sur le sujet commence plus tôt que prévu.
Car oui, l'adaptation est aussi un problème culturel.
UN FIL 1/9
Les canicules sont des moments critiques où l'on parle de climat.
Pour celles et ceux qui travaillent sur l’adaptation à chaleur toute l’année, c’est toujours un drôle de moment : du jour au lendemain, il faut participer à des émissions et répondre à des interviews.

J’ai eu le plaisir de répondre aux questions du Midi Libre sur la place du climat dans nos modes de vie.
Derrière les débats sur la végétalisation ou la climatisation des villes se cache un problème plus large :
The aliens are called The Ōtsutsuki Clan & they are revealed after we find out that Naruto is actually the reincarnation of their human hybrid descendant called Asura.
It started as a grounded strategy anime but ended with Naruto being ninja Jesus with DBZ like transformations.
IF YOU DIED TOMORROW, YOUR FAMILY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ACCESS A SINGLE THING YOU OWN DIGITALLY.
BANK ACCOUNTS. PASSWORDS. CLOUD STORAGE. ALL OF IT PERMANENTLY LOCKED AWAY.
HERE'S HOW TO FIX IT IN 30 MINUTES:
1. iPhone Users
Settings > your name > Sign-In & Security > Legacy Contact
Assign someone you trust. An access key linked to them is generated.
The moment they present that key along with a death certificate, your entire iCloud will open up. Photos, files, emails, notes. Everything.
Skip this and your family will spend months battling bureaucracy with no guarantee that it will work.
2. Google Accounts
Set a timer for how long Google waits before taking action. Then assign people and decide exactly what each one can see. One person gets Gmail. Another gets Drive. Another gets Photos. You control the split.
Google checks with you first. No response means the people you chose gain access automatically.myaccount.google.com/inactive
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Claude can now build your entire mobile app from a screenshot like a $350K senior developer at Apple. (for free)
Here are 8 insane Claude prompts replacing your entire mobile development team before they finish estimating the project cost:👇
(Save this 🔖 thread before it blows up.)
1/ HABIT TRACKER APP#ROLE:
Senior React Native developer specializing in behavioral psychology driven mobile applications with clean minimal interfaces and bulletproof streak logic.
TASK:
Build a fully functional habit tracking application that transforms daily intentions into automatic behaviors through streak mechanics and intelligent reminders.
STEPS:
Ask me for my target platform habit categories and visual style preference before writing a single line
Design the core interface with habit cards daily completion toggles and streak counters on the home screen
Build the streak engine tracking current streak longest streak and completion percentage for every habit
Implement smart notifications that adapt timing based on when the user most consistently completes each habit
Create the analytics dashboard showing weekly monthly and all time completion rates with visual progress charts
Add the habit creation flow with frequency settings reminder times and optional habit stacking logic
RULES:
Every interaction must feel instantaneous with no loading states visible during normal usage
Streak data must persist through app restarts crashes and device switches without loss
Notification logic must respect device quiet hours and user defined focus periods automatically
Visual hierarchy must communicate streak health at a glance without requiring any reading
OUTPUT:
Home Screen → Habit Creation Flow → Streak Engine → Notification System → Analytics Dashboard → Complete App
2/ SCREENSHOT TO APP
ROLE:
Senior Android and iOS developer who transforms any visual reference into production ready applications with pixel perfect fidelity and complete functionality.
TASK:
nalyze my screenshot or design reference and build a fully functional mobile application that matches every visual and interaction detail precisely.
STEPS:
Ask me to share my screenshot design file or detailed description along with my target platform before starting
Analyze every visual element extracting layout components navigation patterns color system and typography
Map every user flow identifying all screens transitions and interaction points visible or implied by the design
Build every screen implementing exact spacing colors fonts and component behavior from the reference
Wire all navigation connecting every screen with the transitions and gestures appropriate for the platform
Test every interaction confirming each tap swipe and input behaves exactly as the design implies
RULES:
Design fidelity is non negotiable and every deviation from the reference requires explicit approval before proceeding
Flag any ambiguous design decisions immediately rather than making assumptions that require expensive revisions
Every component must be built as a reusable element that maintains consistency across all screens
Platform conventions must be respected even when the design reference does not explicitly address them
There is a massive loophole in the medical system, and it is a patient's absolute best friend. It is the patient portal. When a doctor dismisses your symptoms or refuses a test, you do not have to argue or cry in the exam room. The exam room is designed to put them in a position of power. Instead, you accept it calmly, go home, and use this exact strategy to shift the legal liability right back onto them.
It is called the As Discussed Liability Trap. Doctors are highly trained to avoid malpractice. If they verbally deny you a scan and you leave, there is no proof. But if you send a time-stamped message summarizing their refusal, that goes permanently into your Electronic Health Record. They cannot delete it. Once it is in writing, they are legally defenseless if they are wrong. Here is exactly what to send within 24 hours of your visit.
Subject: Clarification of appointment on [Date] / Chart documentation request. Dear Dr. [Name], I am writing to ensure I have a clear understanding of our appointment today, [Date], and to ensure my medical chart is accurately documented. During my visit, I reported experiencing the following symptoms: [List symptoms and duration]. I specifically requested [insert requested test or referral].
‘I’m setting myself free from shame’: Laverne Cox on her brutal childhood and life as a trans woman in Trump’s America
This is a complicated subject but I would say that an individual can try to transcend but not set themselves free
If you learn a second language, the first language remains, it might become less dominant with fluency but your mother tongue still remains and is wired into your brain, along with it are memories and emotions, and shame
It means we can intellectually know something is acceptable (sometimes in different places) but still feel embarrassed, anxious, or ashamed
Often if we go to somewhere else like another country the embarrassment and shame can reduce but the anxiety can increase, this is residual
1/I listened to the senior Trump administration officials' call about the latest with Iran. I am in some ways more confused now than before the call. A few thoughts:
2/They suggested the MOU lays the groundwork for a radical reshaping of the US-Iran relationship as well as Iran's role in the region. But they seemed to act as if the US had won this confrontation, whereas the Iranians seem to think they have the upper hand.
3/Their comments were unclear on the status of the MOU. They said the details will be released in the next 24-48 hours, but that "this is really just the first MOU. And then we're going to launch into the real technical discussions later this week that the Vice President will continue to lead these negotiations."
1/ Iran has reportedly assessed that Donald Trump is "mentally incompetent" and has incorporated psychologists into its negotiating team to adapt the wording of the proposed agreement "as if the recipient were a [mental] patient ... whose capacity is limited." ⬇️
2/ The Russian 'Political Report' says that "Iranian authorities have included leading psychologists in the negotiating team to review drafts of all messages before sending them to Trump."
3/ "This is not a supplementary measure, but a direct consequence of an internal assessment that the American president is mentally incompetent, whose reactions cannot be predicted by conventional diplomatic methods.

1)
I decided to find out what the first 8 billionaires I could think of actually have paid in taxes for the year 2025.
The total became $253 billion in taxes. That is just for 8 prominent billionaires. And this does not include taxes paid in by the masses of their employees,
2)
nor corporate tax paid by their corporations.
Nor does this include the amount paid in state taxes, state corporate taxes, property taxes, etc.
