Psalms 16:10

For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

Sheol: Realm of death
Sheol: The oil world of Islamism

Mohammad Mosaddegh to the secretary of the Islamic world:
The oil of Iran doesn't merely belong to Iran but it belongs to the Islamic nations.

Truth: the power of that oil now governs Poland and they bought the Police of Poland via the Islamist mafia of the IRGC. Image

James Clear sold 25 million copies of Atomic Habits.

Here's everything you need to transform your life without reading 320 pages:

(The lazy person's guide to 10x-ing your existence)
Forget motivation. Forget discipline.

The single biggest lesson from those 25 million copies: Making it easy to START is what matters most.

Not finishing. Not being perfect. Just starting.
Every successful habit follows these rules:

1. Make it obvious - Put it where you can see it
2. Make it attractive - Make it fun or appealing
3. Make it easy - Remove friction and steps
4. Make it satisfying - Create immediate rewards

"My approach is not to prescribe, but to empower." – @JamesClear

There's no one perfect system. Pick the tools that work for YOUR life.

돌봄노동 얘기가 나오네.

이제는 동년배들이 모두 부모님으로부터 보호를 받던 어린 시절을 지나 부모를 보호해야 하는 시기에 들어섰지. 아래로는 자녀를 위로는 부모를. 어찌보면 피곤한 시대다.

그래서 여기서 핵심이 몇 있는데. 감정을 섞지 않고 과도한 컨택을 피하는 것. (얼핏 불효 같지만
1. 부모를 위해 자신을 희생하지 않는다.

- 돌보는 것은 내 여력 한도 내에서.
- 부모를 돌보기 위해서 직장을 그만둔다던가 하는 것은 무모한 자멸의 시작.
- 일을 멈추면 경제적 어려움뿐 아니라 ‘부모 때문에 내 인생이 무너졌다’는 피해의식이 생길 수 있음. (지가 선택했으면서
2. 감정에 휘둘리지 않는다.

- 부모가 종종 자녀를 감정 쓰레기통으로 쓰는 경우가 있음. 내가 죽어야 하니 이런 말을 하는 경우가 있는데 여기서 위로해주면 넘어가는 겁니다.
- 그건 당신께서 결정할 문제지 제게 그런 얘기 해봐야 답 안나옵니다. 이러면 짜증은 내며 결국 이런 얘기를 안하게 됨.

🔎 Qui a écrit le nouveau rapport de @ademe sur les data centers ?

Une nouvelle enquête de Watt the Duck

Spoiler : pas l'Ademe.

Des rebondissements incroyables et la folle vérité enfin dévoilée.

(Ouais j'exagère un peu mais faut du click!)

Le CLIK tiens, parlons en, puisqu'il semble que ce soit ce mystérieux groupement qui ait écrit ce rapport.

Bien ouais, l'Ademe n'a sans doute pas assez "d'ingénieurs en sobriété numérique" dans son service de Sobriété Numérique au sein de la Direction Economie Circulaire.

Alright I’m going to make a thread because Europeans (love yall) need to understand what’s going to happen. This is not “American drama.”
This is not normal protest politics.
And this is not something that can be safely escalated.

Europeans are missing the structural risk.
This is not about protests it’s about triggering emergency powers

In the U.S. system, mass unrest is not neutral.
It can legally justify:

• Deployment of federal troops domestically
• Suspension of normal civilian authority
• Federal takeover of state National Guards
• Curtailment of assembly, press, and movement
Escalation doesn’t weaken authoritarian power it concentrates it.
This is often described as martial law, and unlike in many European systems, the U.S. executive has unusually broad discretion once “order restoration” is invoked. It essentially is the historical equivalent of the Enabling Act.

En el antiguo Egipto, matar a un faraón era traición, pero matar a un gato era mucho peor, porque era una sentencia de muerte inmediata y sin juicio. Ni siquiera el Rey podía indultarte. Matar a un gato era el crimen supremo. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Image
Para entender esta locura, hay que mirar hacia los graneros del imperio. Egipto era la despensa del mundo antiguo, pero su supervivencia dependía de proteger el trigo de ratones y cobras. El gato no era una mascota, sino un agente de seguridad nacional biológica insustituible. Image
Pero su utilidad se convirtió en fe. Los gatos eran la encarnación viva de la diosa Bastet, protectora del hogar, la fertilidad y los secretos de las mujeres. Por eso, dañar a un gato no era crueldad animal, era un atentado terrorista directo contra la divinidad. Image

Can we pause the Greenland noise for one second and admit the obvious?

Denmark isn’t sovereign anymore it’s in lockstep with @Maersk.

The UN @IMOHQ is run by NGOs.

Maersk and the UN @IMOHQ are in lockstep with China.

Here’s the history 🧵
In practice, its government moves in near-lockstep with @Maersk—the world’s largest logistics empire.

Not officially.
Not on paper.
But in outcomes, incentives, and red lines.

Here’s how we got here. Image
Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940.

The King stayed. He became a symbol of quiet national continuity.

But Denmark had no army to celebrate. No Normandy. No Stalingrad.

What it did have was a merchant fleet at sea, one of the largest in the world, which joined the Allied cause. Danish sailors carried fuel, food, and munitions under Allied control while their homeland was under German occupation.

They were 💯 critical to allies success.

Over a thousand Danish merchant sailors died while serving with the Allies

Those sailors became Denmark’s war heroes.

And that mattered.

It meant that after the war, shipping companies that fought with the allies had enormous political legitimacy in Denmark in a way the U.S. Merchant Marine never did in America.Image

I'm often critical of Reza Pahlavi, but even I have to admit he's in a tough position (of his own making). What would I do if I was him (or a non-neocon FDD sycophant advising him)? Note, I'm not an activist or polisci major. This is likely to be a simplistic and naive take. 🧵
1. Immediately recall the Georgetown coalition. Let bygones be bygones, let it be more inclusive this time. To be frank, I personally was not a fan of this initiative at the time and I did not support many of the people who participated. But if you are truly dedicated...
to representative and participatory politics for Iran, this is a first step.

2. Call for a referendum. Give people on the ground a firm ask from the system. Asking the IR to overthrow itself is not going to work. It's only going to lead to escalating violence.

The historical relationship between the Catholic Church and the Jews was defined by a specific theological framework: the Jews were to be tolerated but prevented from having power over Christians. This was codified in the doctrine of Sicut Judaeis. 🧵1/20
Pope Gregory I established the foundation of this policy in the 6th century. He taught that while Jews should not be forced to convert or harmed in their persons, they must not be allowed to subvert the Faith or exercise authority over the baptized. 2/20
St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, addressed this in the Summa Theologica. He argued that Jewish rites should be tolerated so that Christians might have a testimony from their enemies to the truth of the Faith, yet their influence must be strictly curtailed. 3/20

1/25 The Emirates Trap

Over 20 years, UAE money has moved from “brotherly support” to deep leverage over Pakistan’s ports, military business empire, banks, land, minerals, workers and foreign policy. Image
Image
2/25 Phase 1 (2005–2008) looked like normal FDI:

- 2005: Etisalat buys 26% of PTCL and takes over the telecom backbone.
- 2006: Dubai’s DP World comes in at Port Qasim.
- 2007–08: Emaar–DHA mega real estate projects and big UAE pledges roll in.
3/25 From 2008 to 2018, nothing was flashy, but the roots went deep. DP World Karachi quietly became Pakistan’s main container gate, Etisalat kept a long running 800 million dollar payment dispute alive over PTCL, and Gulf money settled into land and real estate. This was the consolidation decade.

서울시 공무원들 만나보니, 올해부터는 서울시내에 데이터센터는 허가를 내지 않기로 했다고 한다. 경기도 공무원도 비슷하게 밀을 한다.

민원이 너무 많이 들어와서 공무원분들이 힘들다고 한다.

THIS IS KOREA.

법적인 조건을 충족해도 인허가를 내주지 않는 korea.

지방에는 전기가 남는다하더라도, 수도나 통신 인프라가 되어 있지 않아서 제반비용이 과도하게 많이 발생되기 때문에, 수도권에 데이터센터를 지으려고 기를 쓰는 것 인데..

정부나 공무원들은 늘 느리고, 문제가 실제로 발생되어야만 움직이는 매우 느린 수동적인 조적이기 때문에..

데이터센터 숏티지는 발생 될 수 밖에 없는 환경인 것 같다.

데이터센터 지으려고 돈이 줄지어 서있는데, 제반여건들이 쉽지가 않고. 인허가도 민원 때문에 쉽지 않다.

망해가는 것 같습니다만.
법적인 기준으로 문제가 없다하더라도, 전기를 많이 쓰는 혐오시설이란 이미지가 강한데.. 이게 민원의 트리거가 되는 것 같다. 일산에서 공사중이던 데이터센터도 공사가 중지된 상태인데, 전자파 문제가 없게 지어지고 있음에도 일산시의원들이 법적 근거 없이 공사 중지를 시켰고 건설사가 사업을 철수한 상태이다.Image
부평 데이터센터에서도 비슷한 문제가 있었으나, 핸드폰보다 전자파가 더 적게 검출됨이 제3기관을 공개적으로 검증하고 확인되었는데 민원에는 답이 없다. 도심에서는 데이터센터를 앞으로는 짓기 어려울 것 같고.. 지방으로 가게 될 것 같다.

Grönland ist nur der Anfang. ▶️ Trump hat Europa im Visier.

Der ursprüngliche Zweck der NATO, so ihr Gründungsgeneralsekretär Lord Hastings Ismay, war es, „die Russen draußen, die Amerikaner drinnen und die Deutschen unten zu halten“. Image
Über 75 Jahre nach der Gründung des Bündnisses ist die Verhinderung der Russenausschaltung nach wie vor das Hauptziel.
▶️ Doch angesichts der zunehmend kriegerischen Drohungen von Präsident Trump, Grönland vom NATO-Partner Dänemark zu annektieren,
erscheint die Sinnhaftigkeit eines Verbleibs der USA in der Koalition bald genauso plausibel wie die Aussicht auf eine Rückkehr der deutschen Militärherrschaft in Europa.

▶️ Trumps Kampagne zur Eroberung Grönlands begann in der Übergangsphase nach der Wahl 2024,

Psalm 6:6-10

6 I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
8 Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.

ترسم که اشک در غمِ ما پرده‌در شود
وین رازِ سر به مُهر به عالَم سَمَر شود

گویند سنگ لَعل شود در مقامِ صبر
آری شود، ولیک به خونِ جگر شود

خواهم شدن به میکده گریان و دادخواه
کز دستِ غم خلاصِ من آنجا مگر شود

از هر کرانه تیرِ دعا کرده‌ام روان
باشد کز آن میانه یکی کارگر شود

ای جان حدیثِ ما بَرِ دلدار بازگو
لیکن چنان مگو که صبا را خبر شود

از کیمیایِ مهرِ تو زر گشت رویِ من
آری به یُمْنِ لطفِ شما خاک زر شود

در تنگنایِ حیرتم از نخوتِ رقیب
یا رب مباد آن که گدا معتبر شود

بس نکته غیرِ حُسن بِباید که تا کسی
مقبولِ طبعِ مردمِ صاحب‌نظر شود

این سرکشی که کنگرهٔ کاخِ وصل راست
سرها بر آستانهٔ او خاکِ در شود

حافظ چو نافهٔ سرِ زلفش به دستِ توست
دَم درکش ار نه بادِ صبا را خبر شود

حافظ » غزلیات » غزل شمارهٔ ۲۲۶
