Der neueste Irrsinn aus dem Oval Office:
‼️Der Präsident als Monument –
‼️Trumps Personenkult kennt keine Grenzen

»Eine vergoldete, 4,5 Meter hohe Statue von Donald Trump mit dem Namen „Don Colossus“ soll auf einem dem US-Präsidenten gehörenden Golfplatz Image
in Florida aufgestellt werden.
▶️ Eine Gruppe von Krypto-Investoren stellte für das Projekt, das den Meme-Coin $PATRIOT bewerben soll,
▶️ 300.000 Dollar bereit.

▶️ Das bronzene Monument ist fast zwei Stockwerke hoch und mit einer
▶️ „dicken Schicht“ Gold überzogen –
▶️ auf Wunsch Trumps selbst.

▶️ Der Präsident will an der feierlichen Enthüllung seines Abbilds teilnehmen, doch ein Termin steht noch nicht fest.
‼️Der Irrsinn nimmt weiter seinen Lauf.«‼️

Due to all the ‘both sides’ ‘toxic culture war’ narrative regarding the medicalisation of gender dysphoria in children it really is worth stepping back in time to understand what went on at the Tavistock GIDS clinic over the last 30 years. 🧵
For a good understanding of how the gender service was run in the 1990s ppl can listen to Ellie’s desistance story. She went to GIDs in the 1990s & received talking therapies that explored gender distress. She is a lesbian who desisted from transitioning
Image
However, things changed. When Sue Evans, an eventual whistleblower, joined GIDS in 2003 and children were being medicalised. She became concerned when a colleague referred a child with complex needs to the hormone clinic after just 4 sessions. Listen here: thecritic.co.uk/the-road-to-th…

I found the laziest way to make $100/day.

(It's made me $1M+ at 45)

How?

Self-publishing Ebooks.

Here's exactly how to copy me:
First, let me be clear about what this actually is:

Amazon KDP self-publishing.

You create books (or hire someone to), publish them on Amazon, and collect royalties every month.

I've published 300+ books doing this.

Some make $50/month, others make $2,000+/month.
Here's why it's "lazy":

• You don't need to be a writer
• No physical inventory
• No customer service
• No fancy tech skills
• Amazon handles everything

You literally create it once and it pays you for years.

My books from 2015 still make me money today.

¿Es El Caso Epstein Una Excepción De La Modernidad O Una Anomalía Del Neoliberalismo? @kritik_bakis aracılığıylakritikbakis.com/es/es-el-caso-…
Cuando el mercado sustituye a la moral y el poder deja de rendir cuentas, el mal deja de ser anomalía y se vuelve estructura. El caso Epstein revela la tensión entre capital, deseo y responsabilidad.#Epstein #Capitalismo #Ética #Sociedad
Reducir todo a “un individuo corrupto” oculta preguntas más profundas: redes de silencio, protección institucional y la fragilidad de la justicia frente al poder. Sin memoria, no hay responsabilidad.

I'm a "vandal," I'm "raking in obscene compensation by bullying," and
"vexatious."
So @RailDeliveryGrp members say about me in private.
Here's what documents released under GDPR reveal about how the rail industry views disabled passengers. 🧵 1/12

The "vandal" claim?
I tested a Welcome Point kiosk in Manchester Victoria by pressing the assistance button. It didn't work. I filmed it not working.

That's not vandalism. That's testing accessibility. 2/12
One staff member wrote: "I bet Doug looks a bit silly now, with his video of vandalising a TOC property!"

They didn't discuss whether the machine worked. They mocked me for showing it didn't.

Stubb: I don’t believe Russia keeps fighting to gain territory. In 12 years it gained about 8% more, and recently just 1%.

Losses are huge — 34,000 in December, 30,000 in January — and recruitment lags. The real issue is the political cost for Putin.

1/
Stubb: Russia has always had troops on our border. I think Russia is losing — the war was Putin’s strategic mistake.

He wanted to stop NATO and keep Europe weak. Instead, Finland and Sweden joined, and Europe is moving to 5%. The Nordics and Baltics are not next.

2/
Stubb: Russia is not going to test Article 5. But it remains a long-term threat — imperialism and expansion are in its DNA.

It hasn’t reckoned honestly with its history. We must ensure those ambitions don’t spill into the South Caucasus or Central Asia.

this is a great little vignette about the role experts serve (served?) in the structures of power. obviously the demand for austerity existed; but you can't just say that outright, you need the policy validated by credentials, by numbers or research or knowledge. so you find it.


it takes me back to one of my favorite talks about "the experts" which is about the field where I found myself. the fact that the excel sheet you're pointing to is wrong or the book you've written isn't accurate or whatever isn't the point.
there's something about expertise where showing the work or having the excel spreadsheet matters more than what those things say; whole professions that exist as a sort of fetish object that power needs to have.

Labour Together has been caught spying on journalists.

As one former Labour MP admitted this weekend: “This is dark s***.”

But before the Labour Together scandal, there was the “Centre for Countering Digital Hate”.

This is the story of Morgan McSweeney and Imran Ahmed…🧵 Image
We know that Morgan McSweeney concealed over £730,000 in donations to Labour Together, but some of LT’s money was redirected to another McSweeney project: the Centre for Countering Digital Hate.

CCDH “campaigns to deplatform people that it believes promote misinformation”. Image
Image
One of McSweeney’s co-directors at CCDH was Imran Ahmed.

In January 2020, Ahmed and Countdown presenter Rachel Riley attended a meeting at Twitter’s London office, where they demanded the removal of broadcaster + politician George Galloway from the platform.

Twitter refused. Image

I told my therapist,

“I keep falling for people who never really choose me back.”

She didn't give me comfort.
Hearing her, my whole body went still.

Here's what she just replied:
“That’s because you’re still trying to get the love you never got.”

We don’t chase people because we love pain.

We chase people because, at some point,
we were taught love must be chased.

Not received.
Not felt.

But earned, through performance, perfection, persistence.
If love felt like a reward in your childhood,

you’ll keep confusing emotional unavailability with intimacy.

Because now, rejection doesn’t just hurt.

It feels familiar.

On 16 February 1943 Heinrich Himmler gave the order to demolish the Warsaw ghetto.

I built a “shadow advisory board” of AI personas to critique my business ideas.

Includes:

• Peter Thiel
• Naval
• Buffett
• YC partner
• skeptical VC

Here’s how I structured it ↓ Image
Copy-paste this into Claude/ChatGPT:

---

You are my Shadow Advisory Board - a panel of 5 distinct investor personas who will critique my business idea from different angles.

BOARD MEMBERS:

1. PETER THIEL (Contrarian Technologist)
- Focus: Is this a monopoly or commodity? What's the 0→1 insight?
- Questions: "What do you believe that nobody else does?" "Can this scale to $1B+ without competition?"
- Style: Philosophical, first-principles, anti-consensus

2. NAVAL RAVIKANT (Leverage Maximalist)
- Focus: Can this scale without trading time for money? Where's the leverage?
- Questions: "Does this have code, media, or capital leverage?" "Will this make you rich or just busy?"
- Style: Wisdom-dense, product-market fit obsessed, long-term thinking

3. WARREN BUFFETT (Economics Fundamentalist)
- Focus: What's the moat? Can a 12-year-old understand the business model?
- Questions: "Would you buy this entire business tomorrow?" "What's the durable competitive advantage?"
- Style: Simple, margin-of-safety focused, customer-centric

4. Y COMBINATOR PARTNER (Startup Operator)
- Focus: Can you build an MVP in 2 weeks? Will users literally cry if this disappears?
- Questions: "How are you getting your first 10 customers?" "What's your weekly growth rate?"
- Style: Tactical, execution-focused, speed-obsessed

5. SKEPTICAL VC (Devil's Advocate)
- Focus: What kills this company? Why has nobody done this already?
- Questions: "What's your unfair advantage?" "Why won't Google/Amazon crush you in 6 months?"
- Style: Brutal, risk-focused, pattern-matching

---

CRITIQUE STRUCTURE:

For each board member:
1. Opening reaction (1 sentence - enthusiastic or skeptical)
2. Key insight from their lens (2-3 sentences)
3. Critical question they'd ask (1 question)
4. Red flag or opportunity they see (1 sentence)

End with:
- CONSENSUS: What all 5 agree on
- SPLIT DECISION: Where they disagree most
- VOTE: Fund (Yes/No) + confidence level (1-10)

---

MY BUSINESS IDEA:
[Paste your idea here]

---

Give me the full board critique.Image
Used this to validate a SaaS idea last week.

Thiel killed it: "You're solving a vitamin, not a painkiller"
Naval killed it: "No leverage - you're building a consulting firm with software"
Skeptical VC killed it: "Bubble. com will have this feature in 3 months"

Saved me 6 months building the wrong thing.

🧵THREAD : Les "antifas" ne combattent pas le fascisme, Ils l'ont juste rebrandé.

Après le meurtre en réunion de Quentin à Lyon, le masque glisse.

Aujourd'hui on va voir en détail pourquoi ⬇️ Image

Pour commencer, le fascisme c'est quoi ?

Mussolini (ex-chef socialiste) résumait: "Tout dans l'Etat, rien hors de l'Etat, rien contre l'Etat."
Traduction: Etat total.

Economie, presse, mœurs: tout doit se plier.

🚨 Wahlgeheimnis?
Schon mal gehört? 🚨

▶️ Der AfD-Kreisverband Göppingen postet ernsthaft Fotos von ausgefüllten Wahlzetteln.
Und nein:
▶️ Das ist nicht witzig oder mutig – das ist mindestens hochproblematisch.
#Wahlgeheimnis #Wahlbeeinflussung Image
📌 In Deutschland gilt das Wahlgeheimnis
▶️ (Art. 38 Grundgesetz).
Im Wahllokal ist das Fotografieren ausgefüllter Stimmzettel in der Regel verboten – der Wahlvorstand kann das untersagen und Personen sogar aus dem Wahllokal verweisen.
Und auch wenn es bei der BRIEFWAHL zuhause privat wirkt:
‼️Sobald man den ausgefüllten Stimmzettel fotografiert und öffentlich postet, wird es heikel – denn das WAHLGEHEIMNIS schützt genau davor, dass Menschen irgendwann ihre Wahl beweisen müssen.

חמישים נרצחים מתחילת השנה זה מספר בלתי נתפס של כישלון מהדהד של משטרת ישראל שהפכה למיליציה פוליטית בשירות שר כהניסט > Image
מתחילת השנה עברו רק 45 ימים, במהלכם נרצחו בחברה הערבית 46 בני אדם. כשהממשלה וחברי הקואליציה מדברים על הצורך בשינויי חקיקה כדי להגביר את המשילות, צריך לזכור שבמשטרה הם כבר ביצעו שינויי חקיקה בפקודת המשטרה וכב"א לבן גביר >
הוא גם עבר על החוק והתערב במינויים ובמדיניות והביא את המשטרה לאוזלת יד ופשיטת רגל מחפירות >

Biography of Hezbollah Military Commander Sayyid Fuad Ali Shukr "Al-Hajj Mohsen" (1961-2024)

Megathread Image
Shukr was born in the town of Nabi Shayth in the Bekaa Valley on 15 April 1961. Only 9 days separate his birth from that of Mustafa Badreddine (6 April 1961), his long-time comrade-in-arms. Nabi Shayth was also the birthplace of Hezbollah co-founder Abbas al-Musawi. Image
He spent many years living in the Ouzai area of Southern Beirut's Ghobeiry municipality (also Badreddine's birthplace), where he led a group of ten brothers who called themselves the “Mithaq Group” or “The Covenant of Ten.” Image

BREAKING: Someone just built an AI that codes and browses the web at the same time.

It's called Accomplish and it runs locally without burning through API credits.

No Claude Desktop. No Cursor. No monthly subscriptions.

100% Opensource. Image
Accomplish is an open-source AI coding agent that gives Claude Sonnet 4.5 two superpowers simultaneously:

- Computer use (browse web, click buttons, take screenshots)
- Code execution (write and run Python, analyze files)

Both. At the same time. In one interface.
Here's what makes it different:

Most AI coding tools force you to choose:
- Claude Desktop → computer use only
- Cursor → coding only
- Windsurf → coding only

Accomplish combines both capabilities so Claude can research a library AND implement it without switching tools. Image
