1/ Yesterday I shared that my abuser's father MESHULAM RIKLIS was brought to the US under Project Paperclip. He worked with NASA, Wernher von Braun and was given the contract via PLAYTEX to make the spacesuits for the Apollo missions - including the most famous Apollo 11.
2/ When Meshulam Riklis arrived in the US he was tucked away (like many other Paperclip scientists, spies, engineers, etc) into a university.
He was placed into a position as a "teacher" at Ohio State University (OSU). Several years later Leslie Wexner attended OSU.
3/ Riklis took over 2 companies merging them from where RAPID AMERICAN was born. This vehicle became the umbrella company for many holdings (Samsonite, Elizabeth Arden, on and on). There was a separate one (again gov/intel connected) American International Travel Inc (AITS) which
There is already an epic-sized memorial - the 630 foot Gateway Arch - in the correct location at the mouth of the Missouri, dedicated to Western expansion in general, but also particularly celebrating Lewis & Clark.
I appreciate the enthusiasm in the original threads, 1/
but what really came through was complete ignorance about the actual history and geography of the Heartland.
This reminds of the recent thread where someone wanted to reintroduce bison herds to the vast plains east of the Mississippi - a stunning degree of ignorance,
2/
about a historically heavily forested region.
A request please - if you're not from our area, and it's a huge empty, homogenous area in your uninformed mind, stf about the schemes to remake the "emptiness" with your grand ideas. We are fully inhabited & don't need your ideas

Negli ultimi giorni la Twittersfera italiana si è infuocata per le polemiche sull’impossibilità di una “crescita finita” in un mondo di “risorse finite”. Altri hanno provato a spiegare perché questa è una versione caricaturale dell’economia. In questo 🧶 parliamo di #Malthus 1/n
Nella prima edizione del “Saggio sul principio della popolazione” (1798), pubblicato anonimamente, Thomas Malthus svolge un’invettiva che corrisponde abbastanza alla versione che ne danno i suoi moderni epigoni 2/n
Per il Malthus del 1798, il mondo non è in grado di sfamare la popolazione oltre un certo limite: quindi, se questa cresce eccessivamente, la natura provvede periodicamente a controllarne il numero (attraverso carestie, guerre e altre tragedie) 3/n
The real victims of Murrell’s crimes are the ordinary Independence Supporters who gave their hard earned cash to the SNP with the express purpose of furthering the cause of independence. They will want to know how their donations could have been embezzled for so long without 1/6
anyone noticing.
Like every other political party, the SNP membership elects officials with the responsibility of scrutinising the party’s internal governance.
The reality is that most of these people did not do their job properly. 2/6
In 2020, many members became concerned that something was seriously wrong and elected to the NEC a slate of people with the express purpose of getting to the bottom of what was happening with the party’s finances. We were actively thwarted from doing so 3/6
It’s AIR CONTROL but not as we knew it. Petraeus is actually describing the pinnacle of achievement of air supremacy. It’s a concept that aviators understand well, but were always told that no matter how powerful your air force, air power couldn’t hold ground - it can now… 🧵1/8
2/ Previously, even if you held a high degree of air superiority, a well dug in, armoured, dispersed or concealed enemy would have been somewhat protected from air attack. And if that enemy possessed any local air defences, conventional air power might stay at arms length.
3/ The advent of cheaper, mass produced drones with the fidelity and flexibility to fly into tight spaces has now largely removed the last refuge of a soldier on the battlefield. The counter drone arm wrestle we are witnessing may yet make those drones less effective over time…
You're actually treating a senior AI like a junior intern.
Here are 8 prompts you can copy and paste directly:
1. Complete application from scratch.
Think like a senior full-stack engineer developing a complete, production-ready application. First, design the system architecture and then develop the minimal but scalable version.
The result should include:
• Architecture
• File structure
• Database schema
• API endpoints
• UI architecture
• Complete code.
Design it like a real startup MVP and make it scalable.
2. Codebase understanding and refactoring
Think like a senior engineer who just joined a large, unfamiliar codebase. First, understand the architecture and data flow. Then identify:
• Structural problems
• Duplicated code
• Performance bottlenecks
• Maintainability risks
Result:
• Architecture summary
• Problem areas
• Refactoring strategies
• Improved code
Functionality remains unchanged — quality is enhanced.
Пріоритетність напрямку збереглась. РФ - Маріуполь - Бердянський напрям продовжує бути найбільш активним. Головна зміна тижня - зміна часу перекидань. Раніше росіяни рухались у напрямку Бердянська в першій половині дня, аби до ночі ⬇️
встигнути дістатися точки призначення. Тепер - навпаки. Залишають переміщення на вечір / ніч.
Проте знову фіксуємо перекидання танків тягачами. Поки поодинокі випадки, але техніка рухається з території РФ через Бердянський напрям у бік Мелітополя.
Донецький напрям набрав ⬇️
максимальної активності за весь травень. З вівторка по п’ятницю щодня фіксували від 20 до 40 вантажівок із “живою силою”.
Окремо - росіяни посилили ППО. Зафіксовано постачання нових комплексів через пункт пропуску “Вознесенка” (Новоазовськ) із подальшим ⬇️
🕎✨ From the Wandering Jew of Alexandria to the Anthem of the "Métèque" ✨✡️
In 1969, a son of Greek-Jewish exiles from Corfu, born Giuseppe Mustacchi amid the sun-drenched cosmopolitan alleys of Alexandria, stepped into the spotlight as Georges Moustaki. ⬇️
⬇️ With his guitar and that unmistakable Mediterranean soul, he transformed a vicious French slur — métèque, aimed at "shady Mediterranean immigrants" — into one of the most powerful anthems of identity, freedom, and defiant otherness. ⬇️
⬇️ "Avec ma gueule de métèque, de Juif errant, de pâtre grec..." With my face of a métèque, of a wandering Jew, of a Greek shepherd... ⬇️
The Cockroach Janta Party’s first attempt at harming the BJP in concrete terms has been made in Uttar Pradesh. The CJP is playing a dangerous game and in the process, it is trying to ensure that the UPSSSC Lekhpal Main Exam in UP is cancelled. So that the youth in UP do not get jobs and Yogi Adityanath gets blamed for it.
Here’s the entire story:
After the UPSSSC Exam was conducted on May 21, rumours started circulating regarding paper leaks. I have not seen any real evidence which suggests that paper leaks actually happened. The Public Relations Dept of UP Govt also issued a statement on X 3 days later asserting that the Govt had investigated the claims of paper leaks and found that the claims were false.
The UPSSSC, too, has issued a statement clarifying that the Exam was conducted properly and urged people to not pay attention to rumours.
Cockroach Janta Party, meanwhile, made snide remarks casting aspersions on the investigation carried out by the UP Govt. Note that CJP did not even bother coming up with any evidence to dispute the investigation’s findings. Heck, they did not even bother pretending they had any evidence.
This is just opposing for the sake of it. Who cares if deserving candidates fail to secure Govt Jobs again? As long as Yogi suffers, everything is fine for them.

".. Rokotevammoista kärsivien kansalaisten leimaaminen johtuu sivuvaikutusten tunnustamisen puutteesta sekä näiden rokotteiden vaikutuksista ihmisten terveyteen koskevan tutkimuksen puutteesta. Tähän sisältyy mRNA:n jakautuminen ja vaikutukset elimistössä. .."
1/ Le mépris avec lequel Akim Omiri balaie ironiquement le fait, pourtant indéniable, qu'il relaie et donc amplifie de nbx comptes d'ext droite (hier encore cf tweet2) et/ou conspi illustre bien que l'antifascisme sauce Nova n'est qu'une posture sans aucune cohérence politique
2/ Hier encore Akim Omiri a relayé un post d'un compte d'extrême droite, Marjorie Taylor Greene, militante d'extrême droite US, ouvertement "America First" (c'est direct noté sur la bio de son compte à 5M de followers que t'as RT), LGBTQphobe, raciste, antisémite, islamophobe,..
3/ Amplifier des fachos America First comme s'ils soutenaient Gaza, c'est une confusion qui les renforce (au lieu de renforcer la solidarité avec Gaza) et donne des prétextes supplémentaires à celleux qui voudraient amalgamer soutien au peuple palestinien et antisémitisme
1/ Russian soldiers in Ukraine face a "catastrophic" shortage of drones and personnel at the front, according to two Russian warbloggers. The Russian offensive is coming to a standstill with Ukrainian forces said to be outnumbering the Russians two or three to one in places. ⬇️
2/ Anatoly Radov compains that the massive Russian missile strikes against Kyiv over the weekend were a case of exerting the wrong kind of force in the wrong place:
3/ "The real problem with these expensive retaliatory strikes is that there's a catastrophic shortage of Mavics and FPVs on the front.
A really significant moment for me as a young feminist was realising I'd grown up in a country where it was legal for men to rape their wives. I was 16 when making it illegal was being "debated" >
Arguments in favour of doing nothing were very similar to ones against taking date rape seriously. How would you prove it? Wouldn't measures taken to prove it spoil relationships? What do you want, contracts, cameras everywhere? (Below is from Joan Smith's Misogynies) >
The same tactics are being deployed against women having spaces of their own. How will you prove it? What do you want, genital inspections? We know that often we can't prove the things men did to us in a way that would lead anywhere. >
You didn't worry about toilets, you didn't obsess over strangers' genitals, you didn't believe in a secret cabal of lefty parents and endocrinologists or a tidal wave of predatory men in dresses with blue hair and certificates until about 7 years-ago when the right told you to!!
And now we have a peverse bit of law that actively dehumanises some people and confuses everyone else.
It's a law that only 'works' if people and institutions ignore or break it. What a waste of life.
Trans men with beards in women's loos. Trans women terrified of using any toilets. Cis women will be accused of being men. Cis men could, theoretically, claim to be trans men to gain access anywhere. Shop staff now expected to police chromosomes.
