1/ “Police chiefs make officers ‘reflect on anti-racism’ with 500-word essays.”
Real Telegraph headline, this week. Part of DEI training costing forces hundreds of thousands of pounds of your money.
I spent my career in policing. I’ve read the report . I’m furious. 🧵
2/ Because it’s worse than waste.
The people with the power to arrest you are being trained to see the law-abiding, gender-critical, immigration-sceptical public — millions of us — as the problem.
Not the threat on the street. Us. Our opinions.
3/ The smear is now written into police training.
Northamptonshire trainers are told to link “the rise of Right-wing groups” to “Britain since the 2016 European referendum.”
17 million people voted Leave. The training frames that vote as the backdrop to extremism.
Important new paper on effects of inclusionary zoning.
tl, dr: the *typical* IZ policy in CA:
1⃣causes 31% decrease in housing production;
2⃣shifts production to lower-income areas; &
3⃣produces BMR units at per-unit cost PAID BY RENTERS of ~$775k
1/6
This paper represents a major advance relative to prior work on IZ b/c (1) it leverages a plausibly exogenous source of variation in IZ policies (a court decision and subsequent legislative fix), and (2) it observes a large set of IZ policies & quantifies their stringency.
2/
The measure of stringency isn't perfect -- it doesn't account for vacancy / admin costs of renting "BMR" units when the allowable rent is near or above market rents -- but it's pretty good and could easily be adopted by state policymakers to constrain local IZ.
This is going to be a rough thread. Beware. This is a repost based on the Amnesty issue.
As a woman, I’m terrified of rape. It is one of THE most traumatic things that can happen to you. It takes forever to heal from. It can leave you incapacitated. Broken. Destroyed. 1/
I cannot for a second imagine demanding anything of a rape survivor, let alone that they be around men. It’s inconceivable to me. To have a charity demand that of a shelter shocked me to my core. 2/
If a survivor wanted a space free from brunettes born on a Wednesday I’d try to give it to her. Because I’d center HER and no one else. Whatever SHE needs. ESPECIALLY a female only space. 3/
È la sera di San Valentino del 2022.
Lui si chiama Tony Earls Jr. (41 anni) e con sua moglie si trova a un bancomat drive-thru della Chase Bank a Houston, quando un uomo armato si avvicina alla loro auto chiedendo loro del denaro e alcuni effetti personali.
Ottenuto quanto voluto inizia a correre.
Fugge a piedi, inseguito da Tony Earls, che nel frattempo ha recuperato la pistola che teneva in macchina".
Tony Earls è accecato dalla rabbia e dall'adrenalina. Inizia a sparare contro il rapinatore che sta scappando.
In quel momento, sulla strada sta transitando un pickup.
A bordo la famiglia Alvarez: madre, padre e figli, del tutto estranei alla vicenda, che stanno andando a mangiare un gelato.
Sul sedile posteriore c'è Arlene Alvarez, una bambina di 9 anni con le cuffie alle orecchie.
An anecdote from my MA days: My supervisor had done his PhD at the Frankfurt School under Karl Otto Apel and had taken classes with Jürgen Habermas. The consensus at Frankfurt in his day had been that metaphysics was dead and had been superseded by postmetaphysical thinking. 1/
Apel, Habermas, and their disciples were of the view that the ancient and medieval project of discovering the fundamental nature of reality had been shown to be hopeless or confused by Kant's critique of reason. Kant was, in this sense, the first postmetaphysical thinker. 2/
On their interpretation of the history of philosophy, many of the great philosophical currents of the twentieth century – phenomenology, logical positivism, ordinary language philosophy among others – could be seen as products of this new postmetaphysical perspective. 3/
Jak probíhá návštěvy výrobny Parmigiano Reggiano? 🤤
Pojďte se se mnou podívat do výrobny č. 2064 - byl to mega zážitek…
Dnes už nenajdete výrobny se jménem rodin, kteří je vlastní, nebo tam pracují. Všechny mají jen číslo, které mimochodem slouží pro identifikaci sýra a je na bochníku vyražené.
Jak samotná prohlídka probíhá ? Na to se teď podíváme ☺️
Na začátku dostanete tento mega slušivý obleček 🤣 - ja sem z něj byla úplně na větvi a můj pan řidič taky.
Musíte mít co nejvíc zakryté vlasy a ještě dostanete návleky na boty.
Pak už se jde do samotné výroby.
Prohlídku si můžete objednat v angličtině, nebo italiano 🇬🇧🇮🇹
Second part 🧵
The death of first ISGS/ISSP emir marked an end to the first part of Islamic State evolution.
War with al-Qaeda had already been raging on for over a year, IS patrols were sighted as far as Benin/Togo - Islamic State sends a senior commander from another wilayat...
to take over a different one - not particularly rare for Islamic State, the groups holds its affiliates at short distance, has interfered at lenght in Afghanistan, Yemen, Nigeria, Philippines, Bangladesh, Congo.
However, to send an emir to completely take over is still rarity.

युक्रेन, बांगलादेश आणि नेपाळमध्ये सत्ताबदलाच्या उद्देशाने आंदोलने उभी करण्यात आली आणि त्यानंतर हिंसाचार झाला.
या तिन्ही देशांमध्ये सार्वजनिक जीवनातील (मनोरंजन, शिक्षणक्षेत्र किंवा समाजजीवनातील) स्वच्छ प्रतिमेच्या एका “तटस्थ” व्यक्तीला आंदोलनाचा चेहरा म्हणून पुढे आणले गेले.
पुढे हीच व्यक्ती किंवा त्याची टीम सत्तेच्या केंद्रस्थानी पोहोचली..
विद्यार्थी/कार्यकर्ते → आंदोलने → “तारणहार” म्हणून एका लोकप्रिय व्यक्तीची एंट्री → हिंसाचार → सरकारची हकालपट्टी → नव्या नेतृत्वाकडे सत्ता → आंदोलनातील कार्यकर्त्यांना सत्तेतील पदे.
तथाकथित नव-समाजवादी किंवा कम्युनिस्ट विचारसरणीशी संबंधित गटांची कार्यपद्धती अशी असते की ते स्वतःवर झालेल्या हिंसाचाराचे वातावरण निर्माण करतात किंवा तसे भासवतात, त्याचा दोष सरकारवर टाकतात आणि त्याचा उपयोग व्यापक आंदोलन व सत्ताबदलासाठी करतात..
Mykhailo Fedorov's proposed solutions for Ukraine's victory:
The proposed solutions begin with fundamental personnel changes: replacing both the Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of the General Staff. 1/16
There is no other way forward if the objective is to defeat the enemy asymmetrically while minimizing casualties, allowing strong leaders and commanders to develop rather than be suppressed, written off, issued reprimands, or otherwise held back. 2/16
A modern organization built around technology requires leadership in management. It requires managing large numbers of sensors, working with IT specialists, working with talented people, and attracting them even without abundant resources or high salaries. 3/16
קחו ממטרה מסתובבת ובמקום להשפריץ מים החוצה, תנו לה לשאוב אותם פנימה.
לאיזה כיוון היא תסתובב?
לפני 140 שנה ארנסט מאך חשב שהתשובה ברורה.
פיינמן נתן הסבר והיפוכו...
ובניסיון לבדוק, פוצץ בטעות את המעבדה💥
מאז, הפיזיקאים המשיכו להתווכח על התשובה במסיבות.
עד לאחרונה.
שרשור מסתובב🧵⬇️
הבעיה, שנודעה כ"הממטרה של פיינמן" (Feynman’s Sprinkler), פשוטה לניסוח:
כשממטרה בצורת S מתיזה מים החוצה, אין הפתעה: המים נזרקים לכיוון אחד והממטרה נדחפת לכיוון ההפוך - ממש כמו טיל.
אבל אם טובלים אותה במים ובמקום להשפריץ מים, היא שואבות אותם פנימה...
האם אז כיוון הסיבוב פשוט מתהפך?
מדוע יש בכלל שאלה?
כשהממטרה משפריצה מים - הם יוצאים בזרם אחיד ולכן כיוון התנע ברור.
אבל שכששואבים מים - הם נכנסים לצינור מכל הכיוונים ואין כיוון תנע ברור.
אפשר לחשוב שהממטרה תנוע קדימה לכיוון המים...
ואפשר גם לחשוב שהמים שנכנסים פנימה "דוחפים" את הממטרה אחורה דרך הצינור.
מבינים?
Buckle up. This post is long but required as we engineered a new qPCR chemistry to put an end to this debate.
While RNA:DNA hybrids are causing a 100 fold variance in qPCR quant of vaccine DNA, Another factor offers an additional 16-64 fold error bar.
We designed a qPCR amplicon array to measure the vax DNA using 50bp->300bp amplicons. We also applied and orthogonal novel detection chemistry to sharpen the knife on this question.
While SYBR green is helpful it also has its own photophysics biases. Intercalating dyes have an 8bp footprint so longer amplicons get hyperstained compared to shorter ones. To compensate for this inflation we changed the way we qPCR with LIDAR and used end labeling which does not have this bias.
This is one of the Prophet ﷺ’s beloved supplications.
It can be read when you:
• want to increase worship
• seek gratitude
• desire closeness to Allah
• feel spiritually weak
• want consistency in good deeds

President Trump & Biden's admins included clauses in federal grants that allow the federal government to terminate grants if the grant "no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities." Is that allowed? No, explains Judge Talwani. I'm pretty skeptical of this one!
Reminiscent of a classic rejoinder by President Clinton, the answer here apparently is determined by what the meaning of "the" is. Very interesting phenomenon here, where the district judge thinks the more obvious or plainer meaning is one I think is the worse one. Interesting!
Judge Talwani also raises a superfluity argument. If grants can be terminated based on a change in agency priorities, then there is likely going to be no need to invoke other reasons to end a grant. Fair enough, not sure if that's a clean superlous canon point tho.
1/ Russia's leaky air defences are once again coming under scrutiny following the huge destruction caused by last night's Ukrainian strikes on Russian distribution centres. Russian warbloggers say that air defence teams aren't even being paid currently. ⬇️
2/ 'Combat Reserve' reports that mobile air defence teams in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, formed from the Moscow police department (MOGI), "aren't receiving their salaries. Payments are delayed throughout 2026. Not only these regions, but the entire border region as well."
3/ "It’s quite possible this is linked to local budgets, after all, [they] aren’t the Ministry of Culture, and the cash there takes a roundabout route through local officials.
A convenience store robber so shook a cashier that she left her job to go work as a dish washer. Her net pay decreased due to lower hours. Does the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act authorize restitution for purely psychic harm? No, per Judge Southwick. Sentence in error, vacated
While not quite a circuit split, the case conflicts with the reasoning of a Seventh Circuit case. (Query whether this is actually a clean split.) The Seventh thought psychic harm *could* qualify, so the restitution in that case was not plain error
And agreeing with the Seventh Circuit in dissent is Judge Haynes. She says the statute is not *that* clear. Certain not clear enough to lead to plain error on review. She would have affirmed instead.
Last Dec I tweeted this thread about research commissioned & paid for by @_UKCoaching and done by @leedsbeckett university into why coaches stop coaching. 👇
…passed off their gender identity data as if it is sex data. They include numerous references to “Male”, “Female”, “men”, “women” and other sex-related terms such as “sexism” and “misogyny”, yet the survey **collected NO sex data**. With no sex data, all these claims are …
…baseless and without foundation, but also misleading and inaccurate. I wrote to the lead researcher and to UK Coaching while the survey was still live about why they were using a confusing “gender” question, conflating sex & gender, and collecting no sex data. They fobbed…

Jens Spahn ist als Vorsitzender der Unionsfraktion zurückgetreten. Sein schwerster Fehler war aus meiner Sicht nicht die Entscheidung für eine Leihmutterschaft. Es war das Schweigen davor. Ein Thread. 🧵
2/8 Ob der Rücktritt nötig war, müssen vor allem CDU und CSU beurteilen. Aber worin sein Fehler bestand, darüber sollten wir uns klar werden. Ein Politiker darf anderer Meinung sein als seine Partei und als die Mehrheit der Gesellschaft.
3/8 Das ist sein gutes Recht, manchmal sogar seine Pflicht. Ich weiß das aus eigener Erfahrung. Nur muss er dann öffentlich dafür eintreten. Argumentieren, werben, streiten, Mehrheiten suchen. Und wenn er sie nicht bekommt, damit leben. So ist Demokratie.
