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.
🔎 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.

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.
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 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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“.
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,
▶️ Tommy Frenck, Neonazi, Gastwirt, Rechtsrock-Konzert-
veranstalter,
Neonazi- Merchandise-Unternehmer, Politiker der rechtsextremen Partei
▶️ Die Heimat und zudem Kreistagsabgeordneter der rechtsextremistischen Wählervereinigung Bündnis Zukunft Hildburghausen
plant auf dem Gelände seines Gasthofs einen
▶️ "Abenteuerspielplatz". Und es gibt Leute, die dafür spenden.
"Und wenn ich ,ORIGINALGETREU' schreibe, dann meine ich das nicht nur in seinen Abmessungen, sondern auch in seinen Details. "
▶️ Kann der Panzer auch schießen,
sich fortbewegen?
▶️ Ich hoffe, dieser Spielplatz wird von Bauamt in Hildburghausen verhindert, wobei ich da wenig Hoffnung habe.
Hört sich jedenfalls als Spielplatz nach russischem Vorbild an.

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
