⚠️ Pourquoi le mélange du spi et du psy est-il si dangereux ?
Pour une raison toute simple.
Ce que les gens viennent chercher dans la guérison miraculeuse, c'est un soulagement immédiat et sans effort d'une souffrance parfois insupportable.
Ça ne marche pas comme ça.
🧶👇
Que ce soit dans un milieu charismatique ou dans un milieu plus tradi, les techniques d'hypnose et d'auto-hypnose par la prière répétitive (il faut voir la "manducation de la Parole" chez les Sœurs de l'agneau) ou la louange, ou encore le fameux "repos dans l'Esprit" régulent
pour un temps les troubles psy. Les symptômes s'effacent ou sont moins prononcés. On croit à la guérison, au miracle.
Cela dure rarement.
Et c'est grave.
Parce que non seulement les personnes sont abusées, mais...
Dans l'exemple cité, il est question de dépression.
Elargissons.

1 🧵 ORMUZ PORTUGUÉS Y ESPAÑOL (Memoria Histórica)

El estrecho de Ormuz.
Desde el pasado 28 de febrero millones de búsquedas en Google han preguntado por él.
Los bombardeos de EE. UU. e Israel sobre Irán y la reaccion irani sobre el estrecho, lo han “situado en el mapa”...+ Image
2 De lo que nadie habla es que el estrecho de Ormuz estuvo bajo jurisdicción española desde Felipe II hasta su nieto Felipe IV en 1622
Ormuz Siempre fue un punto estratégico, una vía alternativa a la Ruta de la Seda para el comercio con las Indias. Image
3 En aquella época, dos grandes imperios se disputaban el control tanto del Mar Rojo como del Golfo Pérsico: de un lado, los otomanos (suníes),y el antiguo Imperio persa safávida (chií) Image

Been made aware of this recently, so I'm gonna address it briefly.

Ant wasn't "running cover" simply because I didn't agree with the claim that OtterlyNoah plagiarized *me* specifically. He watched the stream where we went over the evidence and proved it didn't make sense.
Nor did anyone argue that whether I agree with it determines if it is plagiarism.

This is the stream where we went over it, starting at 1:22:41. For proof that I actually stated the opposite of what MauLer seems to be responding to, go to 2:10:24.

youtube.com/live/FqeBm0Iap…
Neither Comic Legend, Southpaw, or I had any connection or investment in OtterlyNoah. We had no stake in him as a person, we were simply told to go to a specific timestamp and look for ourselves. We did just that, and pointed out numerous errors.

👨‍⚖️Un juez argentino guardó material de abuso sexual infantil en @googledrive

Google lo trató como contenido ilegal, bloqueó su cuenta y lo reportó al @NCMEC

Pero ese material era evidencia en una causa penal.
Parece un escándalo pero es algo aún más grave.🧵 Image
Ante todo, una aclaración.

No hubo un error de Google respecto al material.
El material estaba en la cuenta y era MASI.
El propio juez lo reconoce.

El punto es otro:
tenía una tenencia legítima en razón de su función como #Juez de @TierraDelFuego Image
Esto no fue un error del juez.

Era el sistema.

Archivos se incorporaban automáticamente deforma habitual, sin advertir al usuario.

El propio magistrado reconoce que no fue voluntario 👇 Image

[THREAD 🧶] Pour @blast_france j'ai enquêté sur l'Institut de formation politique (IFP), qui forme les cadres de l'extrême-droite.

Intervenants pro-apartheid sud-africain ou aux idées proches du nazisme, liens avec le RN... Je vous explique tout ça.

blast-info.fr/articles/2026/…Image
L'IFP a été fondé en 2004 pour former des jeunes cadres de la droite médiatique, associative et institutionnelle.

L'organisme, lié au réseau international d'extrême-droite Atlas (voir cette vidéo sur le sujet), prône l'union des droites.

La ligne de l'IFP est ultra libérale. Et sa proximité avec le RN - Jordan Bardella y est intervenu deux fois - illustre le virage du parti sur les sujets économiques.

Plusieurs jeunes cadres du RN ont été formés sur les bancs de l'IFP, dont des députés du parti. Image

El episodio más reciente de Huberman cambió por completo mi forma de pensar sobre el nervio vago.

Resulta que controla el estado de ánimo, el aprendizaje, la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca y el estado de alerta cerebral (no solo la relajación).

Aquí está la neurociencia detrás de esto: 🧵

(+ 3 técnicas de estimulación científicamente verificadas)Image
El nervio vago es el nervio craneal 10.

El 85% de las vías del nervio vago son sensoriales y transportan información química y mecánica DESDE los órganos HASTA el cerebro.

Sólo el 15% son vías motoras que van del cerebro → al cuerpo.

Esto significa que es principalmente una autopista de información que sube hasta tu cerebro.Image
El intestino, el corazón, los pulmones y otros órganos envían constantemente informes de estado a través de estas vías sensoriales.

Informan cosas como: ¿Qué tan ácido está mi intestino? ¿Qué tan sobrecargados están mis pulmones? ¿Cuánta serotonina estoy produciendo?

Tu cerebro utiliza esta información para decidir tu estado.

United States v. Allen

On April 25, 2026, at around 8:40pm, Cole Tomas Allen rushed a USSS security checkpoint in the D.C. Hilton, blowing past the magnetometer and firing a blast from his 12-gauge shotgun into the chest of a USSS officer.

Down the hall and one floor below was the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. In attendance were hundreds of media and many members of the Trump Administration, including cabinet members, the VP, and President Trump.

But Allen, thankfully, never made it to that room.

Just seconds after discharging his shotgun and only a dozen or so steps past the agent he had shot, Allen fell to the ground, was tackled by USSS agents, disarmed, and arrested.

Today, Allen was charged by complaint with the following:

18 U.S.C. § 1751(c) - Attempt to Assassinate the President of the United States

18 U.S.C. § 924(b) - Transportation of a Firearm & Ammunition in Interstate Commerce with Intent to Commit a Felony

18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(iii) - Discharge of a Firearm during a Crime of ViolenceImage
Allen also had 1911 .38 caliber pistol on him.

Agents fired several shots at him, but he was not shot. The complaint doesn't describe how Allen fell, but...ya know, Naruto-style running only works in cartoons.

I think Allen may have simply tripped. Image
Allen made his reservations at the hotel on April 6 and traveled by train from LA to Chicago to D.C. beginning on April 21.

He arrived on April 24 and checked into the Hilton. Image

¿Te imaginas que tocar tres simples notas musicales en una iglesia medieval pudiera desatar el caos más absoluto y llevarte directamente a la hoguera? La leyenda cuenta que este siniestro acorde provocaba histeria colectiva y fue prohibido por el Papa. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Hablamos del famoso tritono, también conocido mundialmente como "el intervalo del diablo" o "diabolus in musica". Es un sonido tremendamente disonante, oscuro e inquietante que se consigue tocando dos notas separadas exactamente por tres tonos enteros de distancia.
El mito asegura que este siniestro sonido resonaba en las frías bóvedas de las catedrales alterando la mente de los fieles, provocando disturbios y terror. Se dice que la Iglesia Católica lo prohibió bajo pena de excomunión absoluta, pero la cruda realidad es otra. Image

Jak funguje paměť počítače?

Už vás někdy napadlo, proč si počítač “pamatuje” i když ho vypnete? Tak pokud jste se nepodívali na wikipedii, tak si to dneska můžete přečíst tady :)

Dnešní #rychlovlakno bude přesně o tom.

Počítač si nepamatuje. Počítač zanechává stopy.

#rychlovlakno

Když se řekne, že si počítač něco „pamatuje“, zní to jako by měl mozek. Jenže počítač nemá vzpomínky. Nemá zásuvku s významy. Nemá představu, že vaše fotka z dovolené je fotka z dovolené a ne shluk bitů. Počítač dělá něco mnohem suššího a spolehlivějšího: nastavuje fyzické stavy. Někde je elektrický náboj, někde není. Někde je magnetizace otočená jedním směrem, jinde druhým. A z těchto rozdílů pak software složí čísla, písmena, obrázky, video i fakturu, kterou jste slíbili poslat „hned zítra“ a našli ji po třech letech. Paměť počítače je uplně základní fyzika :)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_…
Jednička a nula nejsou myšlenky. Jsou to stavy hmoty.

Základní trik počítače je brutálně jednoduchý: svět se rozdělí na dva rozlišitelné stavy. Napětí je nad určitou hranicí, nebo pod ní. Buňka drží náboj, nebo ho nedrží. Magnetická oblast míří jedním směrem, nebo opačným. Tomu pak říkáme 1 a 0, protože člověk potřebuje civilizovanou slovní zásobu, aby nemusel pokaždé říkat „tady je malá fyzikální nerovnováha, kterou elektronika dokáže rozlišit“. Data nejsou uložena jako soubory v lidském smyslu. Jsou rozsekaná na miliardy bitů a každý bit musí být někde fyzicky reprezentován. Když počítač čte data, nečte význam. Měří stav.
Proč RAM zapomene hned, ale disk ne.

RAM je pracovní paměť počítače. Je velmi rychlá, protože je postavená na stavech, které se dají měnit snadno. Typická operační paměť DRAM ukládá bit jako elektrický náboj v malém kondenzátoru. Problém je, že kondenzátor není trezor. Je to spíš děravý kelímek. Náboj z něj postupně uniká, takže se musí neustále obnovovat. Proto RAM potřebuje proud. Jakmile počítač vypnete, obnovování skončí a fyzický stav se rozpadne. To je celé. Nejde o to, že by se počítač rozhodl zapomenout. Jen přestal držet malé elektrické rozdíly při životě. RAM je rychlá právě proto, že je fyzicky měkká. A fyzicky měkké věci se dobře přepisují, ale špatně uchovávají.

#BreakingNews - The DC Office of Campaign Finance has opened an investigation into allegations that the Janeese Lewis George campaign for mayor is improperly involved with unions that also are running an independent PAC supporting Lewis George. The JLG campaign calls it “a baseless complaint.” @wcp
OCF probe/2 - The 6-page citizen complaint by Kevin Sobkoviak alleges the JLG campaign and unions “are engaging in concerted coordinated activity that flaunts…campaign finance laws and regulations” … that require detailed expense disclosure and clear separation from the union-led Safe & Affordable PAC. @wcp
OCF probe /3 - Office of Campaign Finance General Counsel William O. SanFord told both sides Friday of the investigation, saying “…the details…will remain confidential until the investigation has been completed.” DC officials say the OCF reviews all complaints it receives but does not automatically  investigate them. @wcp

At the DOJ presser, Acting AG Todd Blanche just said the Cole Allen said that this was the floor above the ballroom with "hundreds of agents" between him and the President of the United States...
...He is pushing back on the notion that there was a security failure. He confirmed three charges: attempted assassination of the President (up to life imprisonment); interstate transport of a firearm (up to 10 years); discharge of the firearm in a crime (5 years)...
...US Attorney Jeanine Pirro confirmed, as expected, that there will be additional charges but that "it is clear that this was an attempted assassination of the President of the United States." She notes that Cole Allen made a reservation shortly after Trump announced that he would attempt the dinner...

1/ Ukrainian citizens are reportedly selling 'whitelisted' Starlink terminals to Russia, to enable the Russian army to get around the blocking of unauthorised Starlink terminals. The trade highlights how corruption in Ukraine is directly aiding Russia's war effort. ⬇️ Image
Image
2/ Russian forces in Ukraine used Starlink on a large scale for both battlefield communications and, increasingly, drone guidance. Since early February 2026, however, only whitelisted terminals – which can only be acquired with Ukrainian government permission – can be used.
3/ However, some in Ukraine appear to be helping Russia to circumvent these restrictions. So-called 'White Starlink' offers are proliferating on Telegram channels, offering whitelisted "Starlink for military and civilians in the new territories of the Russian Federation".

1/I tend to think Iran’s ability to adapt, finding creative ways to store or export oil, is stronger than FDD analysts assume.

But let’s say FDD’s right and Iran is forced to shut in production in the near term (weeks).

So what?

A brief 🧵
2/Iran is fighting for its survival. Israel, maybe even the U.S., wants to make Iran a failed state.

The war is existential for Iran — not just the regime. Many regime opponents will support the war effort because, to them, a fractured Iran is worse than the status quo.
3/Even if Trump’s blockade forces Iran to shut in production in a matter of weeks — a big if — and even if that damages the lifetime productive capacity of Iranian oilfields, Iran might view the costs as worth it.

What’s the alternative? Give in to shifting, maximalist demands?

As a carrier guy and now a command ship CO, I have typecast myself as a dude who prefers movement over static (both runways and networks). So, a couple quick thoughts about what our Navy’s LCCs bring to the fight: /1
1. Movement. We can move 350+ nautical miles in a day and can travel 13k+ nautical miles before we need gas. That allows us to be exactly where we need to be: support the fight with whatever communications are appropriate for the time and place, while complicating targeting. /2
2. Planning. Warning, Farva JO story. In 2011, while I was an instructor at NSAWC, a group of us were sent out to the Air Operations Center to help with planning for Operation Odyssey Dawn. /3

counterintuitively, the steepest gains from AI in medicine will land in the specialties we describe today as "more art than science." the data-rich fields only look like the frontier because they are easiest to see.
the first wave of clinical AI went where objective measurement already existed: radiology, pathology, ophthalmology, etc. the progress is tremendous, and the potential is still wildly under-tapped.

"machine eyes" will surface new signal from data we already collect but cannot fully read, and multimodal models will link findings across studies, time, and modality. these fields will get sharper.
yet the deeper opportunity lies in the specialties that never built computational measurement layers: developmental-behavioral pediatrics, psychiatry, geriatrics, palliative care, much of primary care, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and more.

in these specialties, diagnosis is curated rather than measured, assembled across a long encounter from tone, affect, gait, the cadence of a sentence, the texture of a parent's concern. the output is a narrative, and the diagnostic substrate is the encounter itself.

Mankind has always been at the mercy of the weather.

No longer.

Rainmaker is the first company in history to routinely, unambiguously, modify the weather.

Last quarter, we produced >143MM gallons of unambiguously man-made precipitation.

Here’s how we do it 🧵
Historic cloud seeding used qualitative forecast data to target seedable clouds

We use radar, satellite, and cloud prove data to precisely find precipitable water,

Icing resistant drones to autonomously seed,

And remote sensing to quantitatively prove production
2/
This is a video from NASA's GOES satellite

See that hole in the clouds? We made that

The black squares are drones. The dashed line is the 140km^2 area our silver iodide plume spread downwind

Water in the seeded portion of the cloud froze, fell as snow, and the hole opened up
