One month before Russia invaded Ukraine, I stood trial at the High Court. And now I wait, in purgatory, to be judged.
But I believe this trial and the silence around it - & all the Kremlin's men - has revealed something profoundly rotten at the heart of the British state.

The case rests on a single question: was it in the public interest for me, a journalist, to speak about a years-long investigation into Russian interference?
That's what the High Court heard, in a £2m trial against a single journalist, on eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

And the trial, itself, revealed new details of the relationship between the Russian govt & Brexit's biggest funder.
Details that went entirely unreported.

Today, Pier Giorgio Frassati is declared a Saint 🧵:
Born in Turin in 1901 to a wealthy family, Pier Giorgio chose humility over privilege.
Daily Mass, the Rosary, and Adoration shaped every part of his life.

Charity was his hallmark.

JOURNEE SPECIALE | Élections législatives indirectes en Syrie.
Bonjour à tous. J'entame ici le suivi des résultats de ces premières élections en Syrie depuis celles de juillet 2024 sous l'ancien régime. Les résultats tombent peu à peu depuis deux heures.
J'avais prévu une victoire des plus modérés, avec l'objectif d'Ahmad al-Sharaa de s'éloigner de ses anciens alliés les plus durs et conservateurs.

Bonjour à tous. J'entame ici le suivi des résultats de ces premières élections en Syrie depuis celles de juillet 2024 sous l'ancien régime. Les résultats tombent peu à peu depuis deux heures.

C'est parti pour une journée d'analyse. 1/
Tout d'abord, concentrons nous sur les résultats du seul bastion kurde qui était consulté ce 5 octobre 2025 : Afrin. Région qui fut longtemps tenue par le PYD puis occupée par la Turquie, qui y mena partiellement un nettoyage ethnique. Avant que le nouveau pouvoir n'autorise les kurdes à revenir.
La victoire est totale pour les kurdes qui remportent les trois sièges de la région. Les trois sont membres (ou associés) du Conseil National Kurde, qui milite pour une autonomie locale (mais c'est une coalition hostile au PYD et ses projets). 2/

Les célébrations à Afrin sont nombreuses depuis l'annonce de ces résultats.
Rappelons qu'Afrin doit servir de vitrine kurde, pour le nouveau pouvoir à Damas, face au modèle de l'AANES dans le nord-est de la Syrie. Ahmad al-Sharaa n'a pas hésité à ordonner de nombreuses expulsions de familles arabes et turkmènes ayant pris bien des logements dans la région après l'invasion turque et l'exode de nombreux kurdes. 3/

Oxford Nanopore Sequencing reveals Pfizer didnt use a Dam knock out E.coli strain and the resulting plasmid DNA contamination is hyper stimulatory to the cGAS-STING pathway.

Also evident in this data is that their plasmid linearization step is incomplete , thus running the risk of full length replication competent plasmid DNA being left in the vials.
For 50 years, John Ott filmed what artificial light does to life.
He saw plants refuse to ripen. Fish change sex. Cancer patients improve when they ditch sunglasses.
His findings hit journals. He was honoured. Then his work was buried.

Pioneer of time-lapse photography. Filmed plant growth for Disney’s Secrets of Life (1956)
Found light wavelength altered cell growth & behavior more than chemicals

2/ Apples won’t ripen without the right light.
1940s: Ott filmed apples in a glass box.
Outside the box → red, ripened.
Inside the box → green, never ripened.
He swapped glass for UV-transparent plastic. 2 days later → red.
Wavelengths, not time, controlled ripening.

Across 68,000 meta-analyses including over 700,000 effect size estimates, correcting for publication bias tended to:
- Markedly reduce effect sizes
- Markedly reduce the probability that there is an effect at all
Economics hardest hit:
- Markedly reduce effect sizes
- Markedly reduce the probability that there is an effect at all
Economics hardest hit:
Even this is perhaps too generous.
Recall that correcting for publication bias often produces effects that are still larger than the effects attained in subsequent large-scale replication studies.

A great example of this comes from priming studies.
Remember money priming, where simply seeing or handling money made people more selfish and better at business?
Those studies were stricken by publication bias, but preregistered studies totally failed to find a thing.

Mark Bray @Mark__Bray, a financier of international Antifa and the author of the Antifa Handbook, has announced he is fleeing to Europe (believed to be Spain). The announcement follows the U.S. government declaring Antifa domestic terrorists, and the intelligence community looking to establish the international links to declare international Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization.
Without evidence, Bray says the reason is because of "death threats + doxing." Bray is one of the major financiers of the International Antifa Defence Fund, which also announced that it was shutting down to relocate its operations abroad in an attempt to escape U.S. prosecution.
@RutgersU employs the violent extremist advocate as an assistant teaching professor. He previously taught at Dartmouth and earned a rare rebuke for his advocacy of Antifa political violence. Antifa believe in maiming and killing targets branded as "fascists" to further their terrorist cause. home.dartmouth.edu/news/2017/08/s…

Mark Bray, an American financier of Antifa and an assistant professor at @RutgersU, calls for mass (violent) criminality to save him and his co-conspirators in Antifa.
"Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us," he wrote.
Bray is an open advocate of Antifa violence and announced is he fleeing to Europe (likely Spain) after the U.S. government took steps to treat Antifa as domestic and foreign terrorists.

As I suspected, American financier of Antifa, Mark Bray, is planning to flee to Spain. The pretext is "threats," but he's been in the public eye for years as an advocate of Antifa violence, and pushback or criticism is nothing new. He's never been assaulted for his extremism. What is new is that the U.S. government might declare Antifa a Foreign Terrorist Organization. And Bray, who teaches at @RutgersU, is on record funding the international side of Antifa.

When the borrow fee (CTB) triples, it means one thing:
➡️ Shorts are trapped.
They have to pay through the nose to borrow shares —
because there are barely any left to borrow.
That’s not just a number.

When the paper guys want to play games with silver, they have to borrow SLV shares.
Now there are no shares to borrow.

Revenues of AI infrastructure companies are soaring.
Morgan Stanley estimates that capital expenditures on AI will exceed $3 trillion in the next three years.
Here are our top 10 AI infrastructure stock picks: 🧵
1. $NBIS
- Cloud company partnering with $NVDA.
- It has just signed $17 billion deal with $MSFT.
- Targeting 1GW capacity by the end of the year.
Revenues are growing at a triple-digit annual rate, and it's rapidly growing its capacity.
At the current market rates, it can generate $10 billion ARR with 1GW capacity. If it can grow this capacity to just 2GW in the next 5 years, it can generate $20 billion ARR.
Despite this potential, it's currently valued at just $32 billion.

2. $IREN
- Pivoting from Bitcoin mining to AI compute.
- Targeting 750MW capacity by the end of this year.
- It is planning to add another 2GW capacity next year.
Iren has expertise in owning and operating data centers due to its legacy Bitcoin mining business.
They also have a cloud platform, but it hasn't been preferred much by AI companies due to its shortcomings, like unable to provide bare-metal compute.
It's actively investing to achieve bare-metal status, and it's just a matter of time now.
Once it achieves this, revenues will skyrocket.

3. $CRWV
- Largest AI cloud company in terms of active capacity.
- It currently has 470MW active capacity.
- It has 2GW contracted capacity.
It's growing insanely fast, but there are risks.
It's currently generating over 70% of its revenue from just one customer, $MSFT.
It's also highly leveraged as it has over $7 billion in debt against just $1 billion cash position.
It's growing by assuming big risks, but if it holds, it can establish itself as the dominant AI hyperscaler.
