If we permit a great forgetting, we enable and functionally endorse the same behavior in the future. Senator Ron Johnson is one of the only people in federal leadership willing to reject that forgetting. Here is what he has documented, and what the legacy media will not touch. 🧵
In his own words, from the report he released and the hearing he chaired:
On April 29, 2026, as Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, I held a hearing and released a report: "Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals."

The official story of alpha-gal syndrome is tidy. A lone star tick bites you, and months later you can no longer eat red meat. Tidy stories should make you suspicious. Here is what the tidy version leaves out. 🧵
Start with the obvious question. If ticks cause alpha-gal syndrome, why did the disease only show up in the late 2000s? The lone star tick did not arrive recently. It has been biting Americans across the South for centuries.
So either this is a genuinely new disease, or medicine finally learned to see something that was already there. Those are very different claims. Almost no one in the field will say out loud which one is true.

Gemma 4 12B QAT (dense) achieves 1000+ tokens/sec prefill on 8GB VRAM with 120k context

Gemma 4 12B QAT (dense), TurboQuant (Without MTP), RTX 4060 8GB VRAM:

Prefill: 1000+ tok/s (42% increase)
Decode: 25+ tok/s (25% increase)
Context: 120k (150% increase)

prefill was 700 tok/sec and decode 20 tok/sec with only 48k context without turbo quant (older test with mtp link in the comments)

llama.cpp TurboQuant flags:

-m gemma-4-12B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -c 120000 --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v turbo3 -ngl 99 --port 8080

tested with a 27k prompt, 120k context loaded.

-ngl 99 here isn't a typo, full 12B dense, every layer on GPU, on an 8GB card. that's the part worth sitting with. The model has vision, audio input, thinking/reasoning and fits your 8GB card.

TurboQuant's KV cache savings are what free up the room to do that at 120k context.

side by side with yesterday: 26B A4B MoE got 320+ tok/s prefill. this dense 12B is clearing 1000+

rig: RTX 4060 8GB · i7H · 16GB RAM

same two flags as yesterday, different model size:

--cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v turbo3

thanks to TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant, TurboQuant fork of llama.cpp by Tom Turney (@no_stp_on_snek) to make this work.

Your blood sugar can look perfectly normal for ten years while your body is quietly breaking. Because the number that actually moves first isn't glucose — it's the hormone your physical almost never measures: fasting insulin. (1/9)
Here's the trap. At your annual physical they check fasting glucose and maybe A1c. Both can sit in the "normal" range while insulin resistance has been building for years. (2/9)
As your cells start ignoring insulin, your pancreas just pumps out more of it — dragging glucose back to normal. The glucose looks fine. What it's hiding is a pancreas working overtime to keep it there — and that can run for a decade before glucose finally cracks. (3/9)

A Harvard professor says 6 hours of sleep can increase your chances of heart disease and cancer in just 7 days.

On Jay Shetty's podcast, he revealed 10 regular habits that destroy your sleep, mood, and mental function:

1. Using alcohol to wind down. Image
Walker calls alcohol the most misunderstood sleep aid.

It helps you lose consciousness.

It does not give you natural sleep.

It fragments the night and blocks dream sleep.

Dream sleep is where emotional recovery actually happens.
Dream sleep loss hit me hardest emotionally.

After weeks of fragmented nights last winter, The Night Before Magnesium Glycinate steadied my sleep cycles, it calms the nervous system so deep sleep actually lands.

1/ Much worse is to come in Moscow, warns Russian warblogger 'Intelligence Diary'. An AI analysis shows that the city is full of strategic targets that Ukraine may try to hit as its drone offensive increases in scale and scope. ⬇️
2/ 'Intelligence Diary' writes:

"Drones have struck the Moscow oil refinery in Kapotnya for the third time since May. The question isn't whether the attacks will continue, but what will happen next."
3/ "Moscow and the surrounding region are the country's largest industrial region. High-tech production facilities are concentrated here, protected by air defences—things Russia can't afford to lose: energy, rocket science, and the defence industry.

Want to stay consistent with your salah?
Start with the Asr prayer.

Why Asr specifically?

The reason might change the way you think about salah forever.
Many people don’t miss salah because they don’t care about it.

They miss it because life gets busy.

Days become full. Hours pass quickly. Priorities compete for attention.

And no prayer tests that more than Asr.
Notice how, after mentioning all prayers, Allah specifically draws attention to one:

وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰ
“the middle prayer”

Allah says:

“Guard strictly all the prayers, especially the middle prayer, and stand before Allah with devotion.”
(Qur’an 2:238)

🧵We could have had cell phones 40 years sooner.

The technology existed by the 1940s. The holdup wasn’t engineering — it was government regulation, spectrum hoarding, and cronyism.

What else are we missing today because of Washington? 🧵 Image
2/ In 1945, the head of the FCC promised Americans would soon have “handie-talkies.”

But the FCC prioritized broadcast TV over mobile phones. They gave TV massive needless spectrum — most of it left unused — while starving “land mobile” services.

Cellular networks were proposed in 1947. Approved? Not until the 1980s.Image
3/ AT&T had the tech but was slow to push it — they liked their landline monopoly.

Motorola and small radio common carriers lobbied hard against cellular to protect their businesses.

Result: decades of delay, sky-high prices, and long waiting lists for primitive mobile phones. Image

I grew up in the Northwest Region of Cameroon and I have spent years trying to explain why I cannot stop talking about architecture. This is why…
When you walk through most of our quarters and towns, what stands with any dignity is almost always what the colonial administration built and left behind. The post offices. The government buildings. The old road alignments. Not because colonialism was good, but because what we have built with our own hands in the sixty years since is, in most places, worse.
We have graduates. We have engineers, urban planners, architects and contractors. And yet the infrastructure they produce is consistently mediocre, under-spec and short-lived. The deeper problem is that most of our people cannot push back against this mediocrity because they have never been shown what good looks like. You cannot demand better from what you cannot measure.

Applebaum: 90–95% of Ukraine's weapons are now either made in Europe or made in Ukraine. Ukrainians make most of their own drones — around 4 million last year and 7 million this year, maybe more.

They're becoming more and more self-sufficient in what they can produce. 1/
Applebaum: There's now a 20 km wide zone on the front line fully controlled by drones. Ukrainians can see every Russian person, tank, or vehicle that enters it.

Crossing is nearly impossible. That has effectively frozen the front — Russia is no longer able to move forward. 2/
Applebaum: Ukraine will soon be able to export its drone and defense technology. Right after the Iran conflict broke out, Zelenskyy was in the Middle East talking to Gulf state leaders.

Gulf states are sovereign countries — they can talk to whoever they want to talk to. 3X

🚨The IURC approved a sweetheart deal between NIPSCO and Amazon that provides for billions in rate subsidies for AI data centers at the expense of Hoosier ratepayers, while keeping the details secret.

It's one of the worst data center deals I've seen. 🧵
Apparently, since the Big Tech company that is getting billions of dollars in rate subsidies is satisfied with the secret deal, as well as the utility that is making massive, unregulated profits off of it, that means the IURC thinks it should approve the deal? 🤨 Image
The deal gives Amazon a highly discounted, secret rate for 2,400 MW of data centers that will be powered by a polluting gas plant.

Compared to the transmission rate paid by massive steel mills and refineries, it will shortchange NIPSCO ratepayers by more than $2 billion! Image

Lenta has produced a tremendous guide to how Boris Yeltsin won Russia’s strangest presidential election, 30 years ago this summer.

Ahead of the campaign, his ratings stood at only 5%, with his Communist challenger well ahead. The newly minted Oligarchs were panicking and Yeltsin himself was so ill his team had to hide him from the public.

So how did he win?Image
The mood of 1996 was bizarre even by Russian standards.

The country was full of mystics, healers, psychics, pyramid schemes, zealots and political theatre. Yeltsin’s security people reportedly consulted astrologers and fortune-tellers and one foreign trip was allegedly blocked because predictions warned he might give away the Kuril Islands to Japan.

Russia was half collapsing and half hallucinating.Image
Yeltsin began 1996 with a rating of around 5%, as millions plunged into destitution under US-backed neoliberal 'shock-therapy.'

The country was battered by unpaid wages, inflation, crime, the Chechen war, terror attacks and the general misery of a humiliated society..

Everything bad was associated with him. So Russians began looking back toward the Communists.Image

⚠️【#宇都宮陸 鬼島第2機関派遣計画】

宇都宮の出自と役割について大胆な仮説を立ててみました🕵️

#椿桜子 との信頼関係、#石上京 との連携、そして「トレッドミルの少女💡」との繋がり…

鬼島サイドの「影の実行部隊🥷」として重要人物だと予想します🔥

#よう実 #you_ziitsu

まとめは画像参照⤵️ Image
Image
1️⃣ 経歴予想
・児童養護施設出身
・途中から鬼島設立の「第2の教育機関」に所属
・ #司馬克典 から本格的な格闘術・実戦訓練を受けていた🔥

真面目で価値観がしっかりしており、宝泉に対する「暴力を遊びと考えるのは下らない」という発言からも人間味が窺えます😶‍🌫️

#よう実 #you_zitsu

画像参照⤵️ Image
2️⃣ 高育入学の目的
八神暴走の保険に加え、#石上京 ・ #椿桜子 との連携要員としても派遣されたと予想されます💬

これにより、月城と #鬼島サイド の「石上京二重スパイ化計画」と「影の実行部隊(宇都宮やトレッドミル少女など)🥷」が繋がる構図になります🔥
