I absolutely hate when people just related Aryabhatt to zero only. I mean he wrote a entire book and surely there was not only 'zero' there. So, I am writing this thread to shutdown this non-sense for once and all. 🧵
1/9 In his text Aryabhatiya, Aryabhata calculated π to be 3.1416, which is accurate to four decimal places. He wrote "Add four to 100, multiply by eight, and then add 62,000. By this rule the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 20,000 can be approached."
2/9 Remarkably, he used the Sanskrit word "āsanna" (meaning "approaching"), suggesting he intuitively knew π was an irrational number—over 1,200 years before Europe proved it!

Nach Brandbriefen –
AfD Niedersachsen wählt Vorstand
Der bisherige Landeschef Ansgar Schledde kandidiert erneut. Auch einer seiner Stellvertreter, Stephan Bothe, hat angekündigt, erneut als Vize zu kandidieren.

n-tv.de/regionales/nie…
Wenige Monate vor den Kommunalwahlen sieht sich der Landesverband mit internen Vorwürfen und Kritik konfrontiert.
Schwere Vorwürfe gegen den Landesvorstand: in zwei Brandbriefen war von einem "korrupten System" und einer "Parallelorganisation" die Rede.
Zudem gibt es Vorwürfe der Vetternwirtschaft, die die Parteispitze zurückweist.

▶️ Trump-Regierung
will Todesstrafe ausweiten und Erschießungskommandos zulassen

Das US-Justizministerium will die Todesstrafe für Schwerverbrechen auf Bundesebene ausweiten share.google/9fnPXLITxEog1L…
und dafür die Hinrichtungsmethoden u.a. um Erschießungskommandos erweitern.
"Die vorherige Regierung ist ihrer Pflicht, das amerikanische Volk zu schützen, nicht nachgekommen, indem sie sich weigerte, die Höchststrafe gegen die gefährlichsten Verbrecher, darunter Terroristen,
Kindermörder und Polizistenmörder zu verhängen", erklärte Justizminister Todd Blanche am Freitag.
Künftig sollen bei Exekutionen in Bundesgefängnissen neben tödlichen Injektionen auch Erschießungskommandos, Stromschläge und Gas zum Einsatz kommen.

Gedanken zur Tageslosung für Samstag, den 25.04.2026

Losungswort
Das Erdreich erschrickt und wird still, wenn Gott sich aufmacht zu richten, dass er helfe allen Elenden auf Erden.
Psalm 76,9-10

Lehrtext
Das Evangelium muss zuvor gepredigt werden unter allen Völkern.
Markus 13,10

Die Losungen der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine

Was geschehen wird

Das heutige Losungswort stammt aus einem Psalm Asafs. In ihm werden Gottes Macht und Größe beschrieben, vor denen sich alle Herrscher beugen müssen. Die Ankündigung, dass Gott die Erde richten
und „allen Elenden“ auf ihr helfen wird, ist eine Ansage an alle, die Gott entgegenstehen. So heißt es: „Wenn Menschen wider dich wüten, bringt es dir Ehre; und wenn sie noch mehr wüten, bist du auch noch gerüstet.“(1)

Wer aber sind diese Menschen, die gegen Gott „wüten“,

@ghostlytom @Excellentsalvic Sin, guilt, and freedom. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned, disaster has taken its course. Yet redemption is already hinted at.

"Genesis 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
@ghostlytom @Excellentsalvic Jesus Christ, who was both God and man, knew no sin and gave his life as a sacrifice for us, so that we might be saved. John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:36 Looking
@ghostlytom @Excellentsalvic back at Jesus as he passed by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!" John 2:2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

Read this carefully.

Yesterday the Department of Justice arrested a Green Beret named Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He bet thirty-three thousand dollars on a classified military operation he helped plan. He won four hundred and nine thousand dollars. He tried to hide the money. He got caught. Now he is charged with five federal crimes.

That is the headline. That is the news.

I want to tell you what is going to happen next 🧵Image
When the President of the United States was asked about the arrest yesterday, he was sitting in the Oval Office. Reporters asked him what he thought about an active-duty soldier using classified information to make four hundred thousand dollars on a betting site.
His response, in his own words, was this:

"That's like Pete Rose betting on his own team."

Pete Rose was a baseball player. He was banned from baseball for life in 1989 for betting on his own team while playing for and managing the Cincinnati Reds. For decades, Pete Rose was the most famous example in American sports of a man who broke the most basic rule of his profession.

1/6 Not me. I wouldn't want him to be confirmed as the next Fed Chair either, which is the position he is trying to obtain. How sad to see someone who used to be an honorable man turn into the next sock puppet to Donald Trump, and who will fold to his demands as he is being used
2/6 day in and day out. As for me, if I would have been the Committee Chairman in charge of the hearing I would have IMMEDIATELY gaveled the hearing closed after Mr. Warsh REFUSED to answer such EASY fucking question he was asked, one being...whether Joe Biden won the 2020
3/6 election or not. Marsh wouldn't even answer such a SIMPLE question, instead tap dancing around, ending in a smart ass answer, knowing if he answered truthfully he would piss Trump off. As well he would not answer a question about the 100 million in investments that he REFUSED

🚨 HISTORIC DAY / NIGHT 🚨

Yeah, it has happened, folks.

Tonight is a HISTORIC night in daily tracking polling.

It's the first time in YEARS more Republicans have identified as "Traditional Republican" than "America First / MAGA".

"America First" has HUGE lead over "MAGA" Image
Image
Before you try to equivocate with sample sizes, we're calibrated and this hasn't happened in YEARS.

We're not talking about statistical noise.

MAGA is dead.

It's the funeral procession for it.
Yes, it's representative enough to draw these conclusions and yes, it has continued all night.

This tells me the voters haven't abandoned the cause, they just abandoned Trump and GOPe Republicans.

Someone who cares about @realDonaldTrump needs to plead with him now to rid himself of these MAGA grifters or he will be ruined. He won't even make it until the end of his term no matter the deal he thinks he might have hatched.

Someone needs to tell the president the truth or he will be escorted out of the White House in disgrace and humiliation.Image

All of this happened around the world this week. A thread of @thewarzonewire stories. 1/10
A day after President Donald Trump ordered U.S. forces to destroy Iranian ships laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Friday said efforts to prevent mining are already underway. @haltman 2/10
The U.S. Navy has shared details about what looks to be a previously undisclosed effort to rapidly arm ships in two carrier strike groups with radar-guided Longbow Hellfire missiles to protect against drones. This reflects a larger push to expand shipboard defenses against uncrewed aerial threats, which now includes four Arleigh Burke class destroyers sailing with new launchers to fire Coyote interceptors. TWZ was first to report on the appearance of one of these launchers on the USS Carl M. Levin, with Naval News subsequently sharing more information. @FranticGoat 3/10

*COMUNICADO*
Desde el Consejo del Partido Justicialista de la Provincia de Buenos Aires alzamos nuestra voz en defensa de los bonaerenses que hoy sufren el desprecio y la insensibilidad de un Gobierno Nacional decidido a romper los lazos de solidaridad que unen a nuestra 👇
comunidad. El actual modelo de Milei no es más que un plan de asfixia que atenta contra la felicidad de nuestro pueblo y la grandeza de la Nación, pilares innegociables de nuestra doctrina.
Por ello, desde el Partido Justicialista de la Provincia de Buenos Aires respaldamos 👇
firmemente el reclamo legítimo de nuestro Gobierno Provincial ante un Gobierno Nacional que ha decidido, por decreto y con crueldad, darle la espalda al 38% de los argentinos y argentinas.
No estamos ante una simple discusión de números o planillas técnicas. Estamos ante una 👇

A ver, mija, vamos a ver:

Si la tapa del baño está arriba, bájala.
Si la toalla está sobre la cama, cuélgala.
Si los platos están sucios, lávalos.
Si el espejo está salpicado, límpialo.
Si la ropa está tirada, recógela.
Si se acabó el papel del baño, pon otro.

Sigo abajo.
⤵️
Si la bolsa de basura está llena, sácala.
Si el lavabo tiene vellos de barba, límpialo.
Si la bolsa de cereal está abierta, ciérrala.
Si se acabó el bote de leche, compra otro.

Si algo te molesta a ti, hazte cargo.

Va de nuevo.

SI ALGO TE MOLESTA A TI, HAZTE CARGO.

Sigo.
⤵️
Tú y solo tú eres responsable de resolver TUS necesidades y nadie más.

Tal vez te tardes menos de 2 minutos en hacer todo eso, sin embargo prefieres tener una discusión que se puede prolongar por años.

¡AÑOS!

Pareces niña con tu necedad de querer que lo haga tu pareja.

「星野源でも、米津玄師でも(略)誰でも良いから(略)戦争反対、平和主義を全面に押し出した曲出してくんないかな」という発言を見かけたが、これはフェミニストが「仮面ライダーはもっとフェミニズムを取り込むべき」と主張するのに似ている。これはつまり世界観をオーソライズして欲しいのだよな。
自分たちの主張で社会を変えたいというよりも、既存の何か大きな存在から「私はあなたと同じ世界観を共有します」と大々的に発表してもらいたいのだ。共有とは最高度の承認だ。「あなたのような世界観があってもいい」レベルの承認ではなく「私はあなたと同じ世界観を持っている」と言って欲しいのだ。
重要なのは「既存の何か大きな存在」からそのような承認をしてもらうことなのだよな。目の前の個人が承認してくれるだけでは彼らの心の渇きを癒すには足りない。それにはもっと大きな承認が必要なのだ。だから地道な活動を続けることに耐えられず「既存の何か大きな存在」からの承認を求めてしまう。

4月4日の投稿以来20日が経過したが、中国の豚肉価格が低位のままだ。

これは、現在の中国における豚肉の供給過多と価格下落は、「巨大化した企業間競争」と「政府の時代遅れな規制手法」のミスマッチによって引き起こされいる事を示している。

※長文になります Image
結論から述べると

今回の中国における豚肉価格危機は、中国政府の統治における三重の失敗を凝縮している。

①自ら育てた産業構造への制御不能

②中央指令と地方実態の乖離

③供給管理で需要崩壊を糊塗しようとする認識の歪み。炭鉱のカナリアはすでに鳴き止んでいる。
「会議を開けば何とかなる」という行政優位の思考は、もはや限界を迎えている。

豚肉価格というカナリアは、すでに死にかけている。中国政府がこの警告を「豚の問題」として片付ける限り、中国経済の本格的デフレスパイラルは避けられないだろう。

President Trump has rightly laid out that Europe must step up, and NATO must no longer be a paper tiger.
Through the historic Hague Commitments, Europe has begun to do so.

COVID-19 creates a state of immune dysregulation where the body may lose control over things it normally keeps suppressed - latent viruses, especially herpesviruses, and possibly even dormant cancer cells.
A new study on EBV and CD8 T cells fits into this bigger picture.🧵
The point is not simply that EBV can reactivate during COVID. We already have quite a lot of evidence for that.
In hospitalized patients with acute COVID, EBV reactivation was very common - around 68-73% - and it was seen not only in critical cases, but also in moderate disease.
The authors looked at EBV, CMV, HHV-6A and HHV-6B.

EBV dominated.
CMV and HHV-6B were detected only at low frequencies.
HHV-6A was not detected at all.
So this does not look like just random viral noise. EBV stands out.
