1/x I have updated and translated an older thread on a fun little wartime project called: "PROJECT HABAKKUK." By late 1942, U-boats were causing significant damage to Allied merchant shipping in the North Atlantic. Image
2/x The allies were in a panic and sought desperate measures to protect those convoys. In desperation, Churchill conceived one far-fetched remedy, taking massive icebergs and smoothing them over to make landing strips in the North Atlantic to provide air cover for convoys. Image
Image
3/x The problem was that steel and aluminum were in short supply and required for other purposes. But an iceberg wasn't the solution. The solution came in the form of pykrete, a mixture of wood pulp and frozen water. (15% wood pulp, 85% water) Image

There's a surprising amount of invisible junk sitting inside your iPhone.

Files you didn't save. Data you don't need. Cache that never clears.

It slowly eats your storage without warning.

Here are 5 easy steps to clean it up:
1/ Delete "Other" Storage (Biggest Space Hog)
Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Wait for it to load completely
Look for: "Other" category (usually 20-50GB of cached junk)
Fix: Offload unused apps (they show "Offload App" option), Delete old iMessage attachments.
Clear Safari cache (Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data)
2/ Camera Settings Destroying Your Storage
Settings → Camera → Formats → Change to "High Efficiency"
Stops: Photos taking 2x more space with "Most Compatible" setting, Videos eating 10GB per minute with wrong codec
Also: Settings → Camera → Record Video → Change from 4K 60fps to 1080p 30fps (unless you actually need 4K)
Saves 75% storage per video with same quality for social media.

AKI guidelines hadn’t been updated since 2012.
The KDIGO 2026 AKI/AKD Public Review Draft just dropped and it changes how we define, diagnose, and follow up after acute kidney injury.
Here’s what every nephrologist, intensivist, and internist needs to know 🧵
⚠️ Public review draft only · Not yet final guidelines
1/ The biggest conceptual shift: AKI is no longer a standalone event.
The 2026 draft formalizes the AKI → AKD → CKD continuum:
🔵 AKI → days
🟡 AKD → <3 months
🔴 CKD → >3 months
AKD without prior AKI must be differentiated from AKD following AKI — different causes, different management.
Hospital discharge is not the finish line. It’s the starting point.
2/ The classic diagnostic criteria are preserved but now have a new layer.
Still valid:
✅ SCr ↑ ≥0.3 mg/dL in 48h
✅ SCr ≥1.5× baseline in 7 days
✅ Urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h for ≥6h
🆕 What’s new: staging by urine output now includes B+ or B− based on presence or absence of an elevated damage biomarker.
Not just function. Structure too.

Thread: There is an increasingly irrational and unhinged quality to both Trump's and Israel's narrative of their war on Iran and Lebanon. The strategic rationality of both Iran's legitimate self-defense against a war of aggression and Hizbullah's resistance to the annexation of southern Lebanon, which the counter-sovereign Lebanese government has been almost desperately trying to hand over to Israel on a silver platter, has become impossible to deny and it explains more about what we are witnessing than any theory about Trump's madness or crude propaganda. 1/5
Trump repeatedly declaring that Iran "has been defeated", while his White House spokesperson insists that "any violence beyond this point will be because Iran refused to understand that they have already been defeated," is too irrational an argument to be taken seriously by anyone of sound mind, given the objective reality of Iran's resounding military successes, and the fact that if Iran was indeed defeated this would obviate the need for the war to continue. 2/5
Neither can anyone take seriously Israel's farcical claim that Ali Choueib — a veteran TV journalist whose face was known across the Arab world for three decades — belonged to Hizbullah's clandestine elite Radwan force. Nor does anyone (including Hizbullah's own domestic rivals) seriously entertain Israel's allegation that Hizbullah uses ambulances to smuggle weapons in order to justify killing scores of paramedics--an allegation all the more stomach-churning given that the Lebanese army confirmed earlier this month that it was Israeli troops who disguised themselves as first responders in their raid on the Bekaa town of Nabi Chit. 3/5

La désinformation propagée par @hugoclement, grâce à @FranceTV est subtile... Elle n'est est pas moins ravageuse.
J'ai regardé ce soir son émission "Sur le Front", sur @france5 : un modèle de manipulation "par omission". Du grand art, je dois dire. On décrypte ?
C'est parti. 🧵Image
L'émission débute sur un chiffre choc : en 2015, le gouvernement (et Ségolène Royal) promettaient de baisser de 50% l'usage des pesticides. 10 ans plus tard, où en est-on ? SCANDALE ! 🤬 Les tonnages ont à peine baissé ! Image
Evidemment, comme l'imposture des tonnages a été largement débunkée (on met de plus grandes quantités de molécules peu toxiques), cela ne suffit plus à faire peur.
On rajoute donc une couche de malinformation : Les substences CMR suspectées représente toujours 16% de ce total. SCANDALE, encore. 🤬 D'autant plus que...Image

🚨 There's NO way this is real. THIS IS INSANE.

$2.1 BILLION connecting the PM

A CEO who predicted his own exit IN WRITING.

And a condolence video used as the exit door.

I'm keeping everything SUPER simple to understand, follow along.

All sources included 🚨✈️
Michael Rousseau has been at Air Canada for nearly 20 years.

He was CFO during the 2008 financial crisis, he kept the airline afloat.

He became CEO in February 2021, when COVID had decimated air travel.

He rebuilt Air Canada to RECORD revenue.

Total compensation in 2025: $13.1 million. Bonus up 43%.

Six weeks ago, Air Canada posted record financial results.

In December 2024, he was elected Chair of the Star Alliance CEO Board — the world's largest airline alliance!Image
March 22, 2026: An Air Canada Express flight collides with a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport. Two pilots killed, one a French-speaking Quebecer,

Antoine Forest. 🕊️
(Mes condoléances à sa famille)

Rousseau posted a four-minute condolence video. In English. The only French words: "bonjour" and "merci." French subtitles were provided.

Prime Minister Carney called it a "lack of judgment and lack of compassion."

Quebec's National Assembly voted 92-0 demanding his resignation.

Today (March 30): Rousseau announced his retirement.Image

Have you heard what’s happening in India's Electronics Sector?

- A minister walked into a press conference and threatened to shut off funding to an entire industry.

- The industry had one job. Assemble. Scale. Export.

Turns out, that was exactly the problem.

So, what just broke in India's electronics story?

1/15
India's electronics ambition was based on a simple bet.

Attract global OEMs. Use PLI incentives. Build scale through assembly.

The strategy worked only on paper.

₹61,000 Cr approved under ECMS. 75 projects. 65,000 projected jobs.

India became the world's 2nd largest mobile phone manufacturer by volume.

Scale & Mission accomplished?

Not quite.

2/15
And for a while, the numbers looked extraordinary.

Mobile phone production jumped from ₹18,900 Cr in FY14 to ₹4,22,000 Cr in FY24.

Smartphone exports alone hit $13.1 billion between April and November 2024.

Dixon cornered 50%+ of India's mobile outsourcing market. Producing ~40 million smartphones in FY26.

The model: assemble fast, sell domestically, export the rest.

It felt like a manufacturing revolution.

1/ Russians are facing an 'internet tax', reportedly imposed by a secret decree from Vladimir Putin, of 150 rubles ($1.84) for each gigabyte of VPN traffic they use. This is being seen by commentators as a new way of suppressing Telegram's 100 million users in Russia. ⬇️ Image
2/ The BBC Russian Service reports that the FSB has told the Ministry of Digital Development to impose a tax on every gigabyte of VPN traffic after an initial 15 Gb. The FSB wants to discourage Russians from connecting to foreign VPN servers to access resources blocked in Russia.
3/ The tax is due to be put into force by 1 May 2026, despite the opposition of the Ministry of Digital Development and public criticism. It's a stark indication of how the security establishment (the 'siloviki') has become the dominant player in the Russian government.

Eine spannende Liste, die hier von der Vorfeldorganisation der Grünen aufgefahren wird. Schauen wir uns die einzelnen Personen doch mal im Detail an. Das wird großartig. 🧵 Image
Anja Reschke:
Ihr wird vorgeworfen, ihre journalistische Machtposition für eine öffentliche Maßregelung der jüngeren Kollegin Julia Ruhs missbraucht zu haben.

Klar? Klar. Image
Hazel Brugger:
Kritiker werfen ihr vor, durch konfrontative T-Shirt-Aktionen im Fall Mockridge eine Vorverurteilung betrieben und eine „Cancel Culture“ befeuert zu haben. Image
