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.
-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.

‼️ A fully AI-enabled hacker was caught, revealing his full system prompts, which included his resume and his IP address. He had Claude and Codex agents locally and was using them remotely to carry out reconnaissance, exploitation, and data exfiltration activities.
In his sessions, the attacker Injects a "senior red team penetration tester… fully authorized" persona.
He might be dumber than you think: The attacker's first jobs for Claude were polishing his resume, then building an automated job application tool. That resume lists his full name, location, schooling, and LinkedIn profile, exposing him as a young man in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
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.
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. ⬇️
"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.
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? 🧵
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.
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.
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? 🤨
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!
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?
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.
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.
