You’ve probably bought an NFT, drawn in by promises of utility, games, and thriving ecosystems.

But after a while…

The hype faded, the Discord went quiet, and the roadmap got forgotten.

And your NFT ended up sitting in your wallet, doing nothing.

That’s become the norm across much of the NFT industry.

But what if your NFT could become more valuable the longer you held it?

That’s where @5th_Kingdom stands out.

Instead of focusing solely on ownership, they prioritize building, starting with two concepts:

-> Household

-> Hire

Let’s talk about it… 👇🧵

Here’s what makes the 5th Kingdom different from most NFT projects today:

Your NFT is not a collectible.

It is not a membership card.

It is not a JPEG with a roadmap attached.

It is a participatory identity inside a living, evolving digital world built on Solana.

Your role...

Your access…

Your progression…

All connected to what you own.

At the foundation of that identity?

Your Lord…

Lords are the primary NFTs of the 5th Kingdom.

Every Lord is minted with a strategic influence tier assigned at creation through RNG.

No two Lords are identical.

No two starting positions are exactly the same.

Your Lord is not simply what you hold.

It is who you are inside the kingdom.

Minted .Hyped. Forgotten.
That's been the cycle.
Until now.

Beyond the familiar realms, a new kingdom prepares to open its gates.

A kingdom where identity shapes destiny.
Strategy creates opportunity. And citizens become architects.
Its name?

5th Kingdom is a participatory digital world built on Solana, where NFTs serve as identities that determine how you engage, progress, and participate within the Kingdom.

Most NFTs stop at ownership.

But in the 5th Kingdom, ownership is only the beginning.

Instead of simply holding an NFT and hoping its value “goes to the moon”, participants build identities, make strategic decisions, and actively shape their journey through the Kingdom.

@5th_Kingdom 5th Kingdom looked at the familiar cycle and asked:

What happens after ownership?
What if an NFT became your identity within a digital world?
Interesting, right?

Come along.
I'll be your royal tour guide through the 5th Kingdom.

Snyder: Russia's 2022 war plan was not a military plan, it was a political plan. It assumed Ukraine is artificial, not real, invented by the West. Within days they expected to be in Kyiv.

Not because of military calculation, because they believed no one would fight back. 1/

Snyder: Putin read intelligence through a worldview where Ukraine isn't real. Agents promised support once troops came. In that framework — invade and everyone sides with you.

All that money paid to agents led to nothing. People in Ukraine were politically Ukrainian. 2/

Snyder: It was a huge miscalculation — Ukrainians were going to resist. The ideological convictions from books Putin read, from Soviet attempts to Russify history, shaped how this war was planned.

This invasion wouldn't have happened if Russia understood Ukraine was real. 3X

Well, that’s that—I’ve been blocked by Wikipedia “indefinitely” for unstated reasons, by the “consensus” of a mob. There was no due process, no prosecutor, no dispassionate judge, no jury, no interpretation of law. All my judges were self-selected and hated me. 🤣

Bacak kaslarınızı güçlendirin. Sağlıklı bir yaşam ve uzun bir ömür için önemli.

-Bacak kaslarının güçlü olması, erken ölüm riskini azaltır.
-Kalp hastalığı riskini azaltır.
-İnsülin direnci ve tip 2 diyabet riskini azaltır.
-Beyin sağlığını korur.
-Uzun ömür ile ilişkilidir.

-Bunama riskini azaltır.
-Düşme ve kırık riskini azaltır.Denge ve bağımsız yaşama özgürlüğü sağlar.
-Kaslardan salınan miyokin adlı proteinler vasıtasıyla inflamasyonu (yangı) azaltır.

👉Bacak kaslarını güçlendirmek yalnızca fiziksel kapasiteyi artırmakla kalmaz; aynı zamanda genel sağlık, metabolik denge ve bilişsel fonksiyonlar üzerinde olumlu etkiler yapar.

Bacak kaslarını güçlendirmek için squat, yürüyüş, bisiklet sürme, ip atlama, yokuş yukarı yürüme, merdiven çıkma gibi egzersizler yapılabilir.

Kas gelişimi için yeterli protein alımına dikkat edilmeli.

Breaking: Google permanently locks people out of their accounts with no warning and no way to reach a human.

Gmail, Photos, Drive, every login. Gone, with no appeal.

Here is the backup that protects you, in under an hour:

Step 1: Run Google Takeout right now.

Go to and select what matters: Gmail, Drive, Photos, Contacts, Calendar, YouTube. Google packages it into a download link.

10 minutes, and you own a copy of your digital life Google can never touch.takeout.google.com

Step 2: Do not export it all in one go.

Pull it by service. Gmail on its own, Photos by year, Drive separately. Smaller files download faster and do not break halfway.

Set Takeout to repeat every 2 months so the backup keeps itself current.

AI demand is outstripping Moore's law in the short run
Moore's law drove import prices of computers and semiconductors down by 52% between 2001 and 2020. (1/4)🧵

AI demand has surged so high that import prices for computers and semiconductors rose 3.6% in May, now up 14.4% year-to-year. This is so far from anything in the historical record that 'fastest ever' doesn't do justice to it. (2/4)

Import prices are hedonically adjusted (accounting for chip speed and capacity) so Moore's law means they normally fall over time. (3/4)

Advice on getting older courtesy of my parents who have done everything wrong:
1. if you own a house, do every possible major maintenance and remodel by age 75
2. Throw away 75% of your stuff by 75 and keep throwing more out
3. Know your budget and cut cut cut
4. Weight training

5. If u think u'll need a joint replaced, do it by 70. I hate ortho work but almost worth jumping the gun for the sake of healing
6. Practice walking. Look at ur feet all the time. Move half as fast as u think u should
7. Live in a one story place
8. Don't ever move ur furniture

9. If there is any chance u need a cpap, get one now and learn how to use it/ maintenance replacements etc.
10. Get ur teeth all the way fixed
11. Put all accts and pws in a book. Maybe type up, print, cut out and glue in, for the sake of clarity and accessibility

🚨 The House is voting this week on the new National Security / State Dept funding bill (H.R. 8595), which includes for the first time in US history a blanket ban on any NGOs or contractors using any funds for social media censorship activity. Here’s what’s new 🧵🧵🧵:

2. The language in this bill contains the most sweeping and comprehensive counter-censorship restrictions ever put upon recipients of US government grants or contracts. No pressuring platforms, no pressuring online advertisers, no working with foreign governments.

3. No NGO or contractor getting a penny of the appropriations can go anywhere near matters relating to “disinformation,” “misinformation,” “hate speech,” “brand safety,” or related censorship vectors.

#BREAKING Calcutta High Court had admitted Mamata Banerjee’s (@MamataOfficial) election petition challenging Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari’s (@SuvenduWB) win from Bhabanipur constituency.

Court has directed the preservation of CCTV footage, EVM and VVPAT machines from the constituency.

#CalcuttaHighCourt @AITCofficial @ECISVEEP

Sr Adv Kalyan Bandopadhyay: CCTV camera will show everything milord
The returning officer in this matter was the RO in 2021 in Nandigram where Adhikari won against Banerjee.

Court: before we get into the merits, I want to make it very clear that my elder brother is the national spokesperson for the BJP @BJP4India and that might have some concerns

I’ll hear it only after full disclosure so you don’t have any issues later on

#CalcuttaHighCourt

Bandopadhyay: I have my all confidence and regard upon your lordship and I believe that when a person has become a judge

Court: it is my duty

Bandopadhyay: I’ve been told by others but I said I’m not concerned about it

I finally analysed Argentina [after their 2-0 win against Austria] and 👏

All teams have their flaws but Scaloni's game-model is impressive and incredibly unique. It's hard to make sense of if you're used to watching European football.

Below are some findings // concepts:

1. Attract to decieve.

“Attracting to deceive’ is a central principle in South American football. Over time, many teams globally have adopted common top-level European approaches but Scaloni’s Argentina have stuck to their roots.

Watching Argentina what jumps out is how many players come short to surround the ball – unlike many top European sides who instead ask players to remain in zones to stretch the opposition.

Scaloni’s willingness to have his players crowd the ball-player provide Argentina with overloads around the ball.

Against zonal defences, the numerical overloads help Argentina establish uncontested possession which helps them bring the ball up the pitch as a unit – rather than as a team that is stretched.

2. Small distances & the counter-press.

When playing like this – if ball is lost then Argentina are best placed to crowd around it, counter-press and win it back early. With Messi, a less active defender in settled defence, Argentina in essence can end up defending with ten men so recovering the ball quickly is preferential.

In 2014, 300 scientists warned Anthony Fauci would start a global pandemic.

Following the high-profile escape of three bugs from U.S. labs, these 300 scientists sent a letter to President Obama, urging him to shut down Anthony Fauci's gain-of-function research.

Obama issued a moratorium and shut down 18 of the worst projects by Anthony Fauci. In the end, he really didn't shut them down. Instead, Obama moved the research offshore to places like Ukraine, the former Soviet State of Georgia, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.

Now, it is widely accepted that COVID-19 originated from that very lab in Wuhan, China.

Those 300 scientists were right about Fauci…

But the big question is, why are people like him so obsessed with creating dangerous pathogens in the first place? 🧵

Bioweapons research is always sold with the same simple promise:

We have to make pathogens more dangerous so we can learn how to stop them.

Honestly, that sounds insane when stated plainly.

But somehow this logic has funded a massive industry for decades, and the safety record is far worse than most people realize.

The public hears “pandemic preparedness” and imagines top scientists working tirelessly to prevent the next disaster.

But it’s not that simple.

The deeper problem is that this research often involves collecting dangerous pathogens, modifying them, storing them, passing them through animals, testing their behavior, and hoping the lab never makes a mistake.

And there are a lot of mistakes that can be made.

Back at it Tuesday morning. #pcaga began by adopting grounds (reasoning) for their decisions from yesterday to include in their report.

Discussing O45 - limiting floor nominations to those already submitted to the nominating committee but not chosen. Amendment offered by author to clarify this would not apply to vacancies that arose after the deadline for Presbyteries to submit nominations.

Speech against - this O would disenfranchise a lot of people (those who weren't able to attend the Presbytery meeting, their nomination was wrongly submitted, etc.). This would turn Nom Com into a virtual commission. Tweaks are needed, but this is using a bazooka to kill a fly.

🚨 The Supreme Court ruled that federal courts cannot create new human‑rights causes of action under the Alien Tort Statute, shutting down ATS aiding‑and‑abetting claims. It also held that the Torture Victim Protection Act does not allow aiding‑and‑abetting liability.

Justice Barrett delivered the opinion of the Court. Justice Jackson concurs in part and dissents in part. Justice Sotomayor dissents, joined in part by Kagan and Jackson.
