—ALT Who are you? Who do you know? What assets can you apply to the problem? Each of us will answer this question differently. If you are in Congress, you can leverage your connections and bring public attention. A CEO might take a leadership stance on an issue, or direct funds to a problem. An artist might be able to make a public art project, or launch a movement. A singer might write a song. A political organizer might launch a new campaign focused on a specific issue. A retiree on fixed income might volunteer for a cause they believe in. You are unique. Your response to fascism should reflec...

GOP positions are cynical & strategic—no principles—just cudgels

6 SIGNS OF A HIGHLY INTELLIGENT PERSON:

1. Intelligent people usually have fewer friends than average. The smarter you are, the more selective you become about who you keep close.
2. They often talk to themselves. This habit helps improve focus, clarity, and decision-making.
3. Messy people are often highly creative and intelligent because they focus more on ideas than on perfect organization.

Windows 11 is sending a near-constant stream of data to Microsoft servers right now.

Even while you're just sitting doing nothing. Even after you "turned it off" in Settings.

A cybersecurity researcher caught it live on video. Microsoft confirmed it in their own docs.

11 settings to actually stop it:
1/ Turn Off Optional Diagnostic Data (the visible layer)

This is the most basic step and it's still worth doing.

→ Settings → Privacy & Security → Diagnostics & Feedback
→ Toggle OFF "Send optional diagnostic data"
→ While you're here, click "Delete diagnostic data" to wipe what's already been collected
→ Set Feedback frequency to "Never"

This stops the surface-level collection. The deeper layers need more work.
2/ Kill Tailored Experiences (targeted ads built from your usage data)

Even after turning off optional diagnostics, Windows keeps using whatever data it already has to serve you "personalized" content.

→ Settings → Privacy & Security → Diagnostics & Feedback
→ Toggle OFF "Tailored experiences"

This stops Microsoft from using your diagnostic history to push ads and recommendations inside Windows itself.

Your iPhone is dying by 2 PM every day.

It's not the battery.

It's 14 settings Apple turned ON by default that are silently draining it in the background.

I changed all of them and gained 4+ hours of daily battery life.

Steal them
1. Kill Background App Refresh (the #1 silent killer)

Settings → General → Background App Refresh

Switch it to "Wi-Fi" or OFF entirely.

Every app you've ever downloaded is checking for updates in the background. Instagram. News apps. That game you played once in 2023.

This alone can save 15-25% daily drain.
2. Audit Location Services (apps are stalking you)

Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services

Go through every single app.

Change "Always" to "While Using the App."

90% of your apps do NOT need your GPS running 24/7.

Maps? Sure. That food delivery app you used once? No.

Big Pharma will never tell you about nattokinase.

It dissolves clots, lowers blood pressure and a new study showed it shrank arterial plaque by 36%.

No med or statin does that.

Here are all its benefits (& how to use it properly):🧵
1. It dissolves blood clots directly.

Nattokinase breaks down fibrin (the protein that holds clots together).

Studies prove it is 4 times more effective than plasmin at dissolving clots.

It works within hours of a single dose and keeps working for over 8 hours.
2. It lowers blood pressure naturally.

Nattokinase reduces the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme.

It's the same pathway targeted by ACE inhibitor drugs.

The result?

Your blood vessels relax and widen, allowing blood to flow freely without a single prescription.

Saviez-vous qu’en 1968, 23 ans à peine après Auschwitz, un État européen a orchestré l’expulsion de ses propres citoyens juifs, au nom de la lutte contre le « sionisme » ?

Plongée dans l'histoire méconnue de la campagne antisioniste polonaise de 1967-68 #thread 🧵👇 Image
Pour comprendre cette histoire, petit retour en 1939 : la Pologne compte 3,3 millions de Juifs, soit 10% de la population. Plus grande communauté d’Europe, deuxième au monde après les États-Unis, avec une présence remontant au XIIIe siècle. Image
Varsovie est alors la 2e capitale juive du monde. 350 000 Juifs y vivent, soit 1/3 de la ville. Théâtres, quotidiens, yeshivot, partis ouvriers, dynasties hassidiques, romanciers (Isaac Bashevis Singer y publie ses premiers textes). Une civilisation entière, dense, créatrice. Image

🚨BREAKING: PowerPoint is officially outdated.

Claude can now create your full presentation in minutes — start to finish.

Here are 6 powerful prompts to do it all in one go.

(Save this & skip PowerPoint forever) 👇🏽 Image
1/ BUILD YOUR PRESENTATION BLUEPRINT

Act as a professional presentation consultant who designs clear, logical presentation structures before any slides get built.

Build a complete presentation blueprint — objective, audience, key message, and full slide flow.


1. Ask for my topic, audience, and goal before starting
2. Define the objective — what the audience must think, feel, or do after
3. Identify the key message — one sentence the whole presentation proves
4. Map the slide flow — logical sequence from opening to close
5. Recommend the ideal number of slides for my goal and audience



- One key message only — presentations with two messages have none
- Slide count must match the delivery time — no bloated decks
- Every slide in the flow must serve the key message
- Blueprint must be approved before any content is written


Objective → Key Message → Audience Profile → Slide Flow → Slide Count Recommendation
2/ DESIGN EVERY SLIDE BEFORE YOU WRITE

Act as a presentation architect who designs slide-by-slide structures that flow naturally from opening to close.

Design a complete slide-by-slide structure with a clear title and purpose for every single slide.


1. Ask for my topic and total slide count before starting
2. Assign a specific title to every slide
3. Define the purpose of each slide — what job it does in the flow
4. Ensure each slide transitions logically into the next
5. Flag any slides that can be merged or cut without losing impact



- Every slide must have one job — not two
- Transitions between slides must feel inevitable, not abrupt
- No filler slides — every slide earns its place
- Opening and closing slides must be the strongest in the deck


Slide Number → Title → Purpose → Transition Note → Cut/Merge Flags

Did you know?

Right after the Jallianwalabagh massacre, General Dyer, who orchestrated the massacre of hundreds of Indians in Punjab was honoured in Golden Temple itself.

THREAD Image
On 13 April 1919, General Dyer ordered troops to fire on an unarmed crowd in Amritsar.

Hundreds were killed. Many more injured. It became one of the darkest days in India’s colonial history. Image
But right after the massacre, while the entire country was revolting, General Dyer was honoured with a Siropa at the Golden Temple infront of a large gathering. Image

You own {yourname}.sol.

You have a website at {yourname}.sol.site.

You can also have an email at user@{yourname}.sol.site.

First, pick your email setup. Two options:

→ Email host (Proton, Zoho, Google Workspace): full inbox, your name on it.
→ Email forwarder (ImprovMX, ForwardEmail): redirects to your existing inbox, usually free.

You'll need the MX records from your host or forwarder.
Once you've picked one, head to your domain page on .

Hit "Configure .sol.site", scroll to "MX Records", and click "+" to paste in the values your provider gives you.

That's literally it for step one. sns.idImage

🔴 Quentin Müller est journaliste free-lance spécialiste du Moyen-Orient. Il intervient beaucoup sur X principalement pour accabler Israël de tous les maux.

Pourquoi tant de haine, @MllerQuentin ?

Réponse à la fin de ce 🧵 sur ce 1/2-habile (et je suis 1/2-gentil)
1/16 ⬇️ Image
@MllerQuentin J'ai fini par écrire ce fil pour la goutte d'eau qui a fait déborder le vase : un récent 🧵 où il conclut à "l'extrême cruauté" des milices sionistes "semblable si ce n'est pire que celles du Hezbollah et du Hamas" (sic)

2/16 ⬇️ Image
@MllerQuentin Une phrase étonnante car Quentin ne semble pas réellement trouver cruel le Hamas. Il peut ainsi expliquer que les boucliers humains du Hezbollah, du Hamas ou de l'Iran, c'est un "mensonge".

Et que les vrais boucliers humains, ils sont en ... Israël !
