Día de análisis por Andalucía, y ahí va el mío.

1) la derecha arrasa electoralmente

Lo lleva haciendo desde 2023 y lleva ganando desde el "cañitas o libertad"

Da igual cuantos análisis hagamos de la fórmula electoral de la izquierda, hay un momento social de derechas. Image
No tiene sentido, lo sé, pero es así.

Los grandes problemas, identificados por el pueblo claramente (vivienda, sanidad, turismo), no se conectan con las soluciones del PSOE ni de la "izquierda".

Sin soluciones, descontento, rabia, y ahora, derecha.
Hay que recordar que en 2023 ya ganaron las municipales y autonómicas PP y VOX y en el Congreso la mayoría es de derechas.

PP, VOX, PNV y Junts 182 diputados y un gobierno socialista inerte desde su primer día de gobierno.

I got rejected 11 times in 4 months.

Same resume. Same cover letter. Same rehearsed answers.

After rejection 9, I cried in my car in a parking lot for 20 minutes. Then drove home and applied to 3 more jobs.

Here's what I finally figured out on interview 12.
1/ The first thing I got wrong: I thought interviews were tests.

They're not. They're conversations where someone is trying to figure out if they can spend 8 hours a day with you.

I was performing. Stiff answers. Rehearsed stories. Zero personality.

I was so focused on saying the right thing that I forgot to be a person.
2/ Rejection number 4 was the one that hurt most.

I made it to round 3. Final interview. I thought it was mine.

They sent an email on a Friday evening. "We've decided to move forward with another candidate."

I read it 6 times thinking I'd misunderstood. I hadn't.

I didn't apply anywhere for 2 weeks after that.

Oriente Médio, Juros e Eleições
By Dan Kawa
18Mai26

Sem um desfecho para o conflito no Oriente Médio e com o petróleo novamente em alta, os juros globais continuam em patamar elevado e exercendo pressão sobre as bolsas ao redor do mundo. Escrevi sobre este pano de fundo no final de semana, aqui: .
Três temas devem concentrar a atenção dos mercados no curto prazo, dois de natureza internacional, profundamente interligados, e um de caráter local. No cenário externo, a guerra no Oriente Médio segue como o principal vetor para os mercados, tanto no horizonte imediato quanto nas implicações de mais longo prazo. É justamente esse fator que também vem determinando o segundo ponto central para os investidores, que é a trajetória e o nível de acomodação dos juros globais.

No cenário local, as recentes revelações envolvendo Flávio Bolsonaro vêm redesenhando o cenário eleitoral de curto prazo e, potencialmente, também o de longo prazo para as eleições presidenciais no Brasil. As pesquisas mais recentes, que ainda não capturam integralmente esses eventos, seguem indicando um quadro de empate técnico entre Flávio e Lula. Ainda assim, informações de mercado apontam que trackings mais recentes, ainda não públicos ou oficiais, já mostrariam uma abertura relevante de vantagem para Lula, na ordem de aproximadamente 7pp. Caso esse movimento se consolide e não haja reversão ao longo das próximas semanas e meses, os impactos sobre alianças políticas, percepção dos agentes econômicos e dinâmica eleitoral tendem a ganhar relevância crescente até as eleições.
Hoje pela manhã, na China, recebemos os dados de atividade econômica de abril. Os dados de atividade da China em abril vieram mais fracos do que o esperado, com desaceleração disseminada em indústria, investimento e varejo. A economia continua cada vez mais dividida entre os setores ligados a IA, semicondutores, EVs e transição energética, que seguem fortes, e o restante da atividade doméstica, ainda pressionado por fraqueza imobiliária, consumo moderado e investimento fraco. Sem estímulos fiscais mais fortes e recuperação da indústria nos próximos meses, aumentam os riscos de desaceleração do PIB chinês no 2T26.Image

Something very interesting is happening in silver right now… and most people still don’t see it. 🥈
India just restricted silver imports.

Not tariffs.
Not taxes.

Restrictions.
That changes the game.

Special thanks to @BankerWeimar for the valuable information and research on this developing situation. 🫡🥈Image
2/

A tariff only makes silver more expensive.
A restriction means imports now require permission.

Read that again carefully.

India is no longer simply pricing silver…

it is starting to CONTROL the physical flow of silver into the country.
3/

Now here’s the part stackers should pay attention to:
Silver in India was recently trading at a DISCOUNT of nearly $6/oz to global prices.

After the restrictions?

That discount rapidly narrowed…

and traders now expect a PREMIUM of $1.5–$2/oz.

입장문

라이더유니온지부는 6.3 지방선거를 앞두고 모든 정당의 후보에게 정책협약을 제안했습니다. 그간 라이더유니온지부가 여러 지자체에서 진행해 온 라이더안전교육, 조례제정 등 관련 정책들을 더욱 확산하기 위해서입니다. 정책협약은 지지선언이 아니며 요구사항 관철을 위한 활동으로 계획
했습니다.

이 과정에서 경기안산시에서 민주당과 국민의힘 후보에게 정책협약을 제안했고, 양 후보와 정책협약을 맺었습니다. 지난 5월 13일 상급조직인 공공운수노조는 설사 지지선언이 아니더라도 반노동정책으로 일관했던 국민의힘과의 정책협약은 적절하지 않다는 의견을 지부에 전달하였습니다.
라이더유니온지부는 이와 관련한 공공운수노조의 비판을 수용합니다. 지부는 지지선언과 정책협약을 구분했지만 윤석열 정부에 맞서 투쟁했던 많은 동지들과 시민들에게 오해를 살 수 있는 점, 선거국면에서 활용될 수 있다는 점을 간과 하였습니다.

Wir haben eine große Datenrecherche zum Haushalt gemacht. Ergebnis: Verschiedene Indikatoren weisen darauf hin, dass der Bundeshaushalt in akute Schieflage geraten dürfte. Bsp.: 2030 werden drei Ausgabenblöcke den Etat dominieren, die nur bedingt etwas mit Zukunft zu haben. Image
2030 werden 80 (!) Prozent der Bundesmittel ausschließlich in die Etats Soziales, Verteidigung und Bundesschuld fließen. Für den gesamten übrigen Haushalt bleiben gerade mal noch 20 % (!) übrig. Aber auch sechs weitere Indikatoren weisen auf eine bedenkliche Entwicklung hin.
Im vorigen Jahrzehnt bewegten sich die Ausgaben des Bundes zunächst um die 300 Mrd. Euro. Bis 2030 werden sie sich mehr als verdoppeln. Erster Grund: Mit Corona stiegen die Ausgaben stark an, wurden aber nach Ende der Pandemie nie auf das Vorkrisen-Niveau zurückgefahren. Image

1/ Could Yevgeny Prigozhin have become Russia's equivalent of Ukraine's Robert 'Madyar' Brovdi if he had been allowed to live? A provocative Russian commentary suggests that Wagner's 'civilian-controlled military' operating model could have been applied more widely by Russia. ⬇️ Image

2/ 'Russian Engineer' writes:

"The answers to the questions are about what changes allowed the enemy to halt the downward trend in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was clearly evident throughout 2025."
3/ "And now they're striking along the Novorossiya highway, and simultaneously in Moscow and Sevastopol.

1) Independent researcher Paolo Maccalini published an impressive paper implicating synaptic function in various brain regions in the pathology of ME/CFS. It’s based on three major genetic studies, including DecodeME.

The most replicated signal was for glutamatergic synapses. Image
2) He used the DNA results of more than 15.000 ME/CFS patients from DecodeME, but managed to add genetic data on 3891 ME/CFS cases from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) using a meta-analysis.
3) Paolo wanted to add cases from other genetic databases as well, such as the UK Biobank or FinnGen, but this gave the issue that some of the controls overlapped.

So for now, DecodeME + MVP was the best he could do, totalling around 19.000 patients.

Eight years.

From two founders with a vision for Southeast Asian payment infrastructure in 2018, to a live protocol with 1 million+ active users, $60M+ in institutional capital, and BlackRock BUIDL integration.

Most people found $VELO late. Here is the full timeline. Every milestone, every decision point, every proof that the build is real.

VELO Bible Series Vol. 2. The Timeline 🧵📅Image
2018. Foundation year.

Both Lightnet Group and Evrynet are founded simultaneously by the same leadership team. Two companies. Two distinct functions. One long-term plan.

Lightnet was built for the commercial remittance layer. The licensed, regulated, bank-facing business that would sign corridor agreements and process real money flows.

Evrynet was built for the technical infrastructure layer. Specifically the cross-chain bridging architecture that would eventually become foundational to Binance Smart Chain's BEP-20 ecosystem.

Nobody in the public crypto market knows either company exists yet.
2019. Stealth development.

The Federated Credit Exchange (FCX) architecture is designed from scratch. The team develops the mathematical models for the Digital Reserve System (DRS), which automatically rebalances VELO token collateral pools to maintain 1:1 pegging between issued digital credits and their fiat counterparts.

Stellar is selected as the primary settlement layer. A deliberate choice over Ethereum or Bitcoin, prioritising 3 to 5 second finality, sub-cent transaction costs, and energy efficiency.

Regulatory engagement begins. Early discussions with the Bank of Thailand and Singapore's MAS. The team understands from day one that institutional adoption requires regulatory approval, not just technical excellence.

Most of crypto is still chasing ICOs. VELO is building infrastructure.

Stop saying "Just following up" when someone ignores your email.

Here are 15 professional alternatives you can steal:
1. The Assumed Approval

Situation: You sent a final mock-up to a manager who insists on reviewing everything but never actually reviews anything. The project is stalled, and you will inevitably be blamed for missing the Friday deadline.

Response: "I have attached the final assets. If I do not hear otherwise by EOD tomorrow, I will assume we are good to go and proceed with the launch."

Why it works: You completely shift the burden of action. Right now, their silence blocks you. By setting a default action, their silence becomes an automatic yes. You protect your deadline and force them to act only if they actually have a problem.
2. The Permission to Close

Situation: You had a great discovery call with a prospect or external partner. They asked for a proposal. You sent it. Now it has been 14 days of absolute silence. Every time you follow up, you feel like a nuisance.

Response: "Since I have not heard back on the proposal, I will assume this is no longer a priority for your team and close the file. Let me know if things change next quarter."

Why it works: This triggers massive loss aversion. People hate having options taken away from them. If they are actually interested, they will panic and reply immediately. If they aren't, you finally get to stop wasting your mental energy.

China's power generation from coal and gas increased 3% on year in March, the 4th month of increase in a row, due to underperformance of wind, solar & nuclear. Wind conditions in March-April have been extraordinarily bad, solar bad too; nuclear has seen long refueling outages. Image
Unfavorable weather doesn't account for all of the weakness in clean power generation this year - grid congestion due to inflexible operation of coal plants and transmission lines plays a role too, especially in Jan-Feb when weather conditions were actually better than last year.
Grid congestion doesn't affect just wind&solar - nuclear gets curtailed too! China's largest nuclear operator CGN reported one of its plants getting curtailed in Q1, and in China it's usually a safe bet that more curtailment happens than gets reported.

« L’Allemagne préférera toujours l’Amérique à la France »

Dur examen de réalité pour nos sénateurs le 12 février 2026
Deux experts (allemand & polonais) décrivent à quoi doit ressembler “l’Europe de la défense” pour leur pays.
Spoiler: ça ne ressemble pas au récit français 🧵👇
En France, on nous parle de “souveraineté européenne”, d’autonomie stratégique…
Chez nos voisins ? C’est hors de question !
Le concept est au mieux lointain, au pire suspect ⤵️
Pourquoi un tel décalage ?
Parce que l’Allemagne n’a pas la même histoire que nous.
Pour gagner le droit de ré-exister après ses crimes, elle s’est reconstruite en diluant sa souveraineté :
L’ONU, l’OTAN et l’UE ont servi de cadres de contrôle et d’intégration ⤵️

The Truth About ATP

In most biology research ATP is referred to as the main energy currency in living organisms, but this actually isn't quite true

In this thread I'll break down ATP's deeper functions, and the impact it has on human biology

THREAD // Image
The energetic resources of mitochondria revolve entirely around the electron transport chain

In the simplest sense this is a series of electron donating/accepting protein complexes, named complex I through IV

These complexes carry an electron current across the membrane Image
Now the interesting thing is that mitochondria actually have two membranes

The inner membrane wrinkles and folds back in on itself, maximizing its surface area, while the outer membrane has minimal surface area creating an "intermembrane space" with a minimal volume Image
