1. Marie, fille d’un haut personnage qui la protège à son insu, a une vie libre avec « [ses] successifs amants, si disponibles et sans problème ». Elle rencontre l’amour avec « ce qu’il ne fallait pas ». Francis, rival de son père, a 50 ans, « ni jeune ni vraiment beau, 2/12 Image
pas autant d’enfants que de maîtresses ». Elle ne lui demande qu’un voyage avec lui : « on peut rêver ». Elle nous entraîne dans ce voyage dont on ne saura qu’à la fin et sans certitude s’il est réel ou fantasmé. Mais l’amour y est présent, même si l’amant reste énigmatique. 3/12 Image

🚨A captura do Estado moderno não se dá apenas por atos de força, mas por design de opacidade. O Item 39 do Gist consolida a prova material do dolo: a administração superior da @UFAM_

@UFAM_ foi formalmente advertida sobre as ilegalidades antes da publicação do edital. A quebra da aleatoriedade algorítmica na distribuição do TRF-1 — direcionando o caso à irmã consanguínea da autoridade ré — soma-se à retaliação cibernética: 40h de negação de serviço (DoS) + ⬇️
@UFAM_ seletiva contra meu IP para obstruir o direito de petição. Há um padrão de asfixia. O caso correlato de Flávia Medeiros no TRF-1 expõe o macro-esquema de "lavagem de vagas": confinamento do debate aos autos e exploração da hipossuficiência digital dos jovens do Sisu. ⬇️

6 words. That's all you need to ask about anything in Arabic.
What. Why. Where. When. How. How much.
Learn these 6 and you'll never be stuck in silence again. Gulf dialect. The version people actually use.
"Shoo" (شو) = what.
The most useful word in Gulf Arabic. You can attach it to almost anything.

"Shoo haadha?" (شو هذا؟) = what is this?
"Shoo tabi?" (شو تبي؟) = what do you want?
"Shoo sawwait?" (شو سويت؟) = what did you do?
"Shoo sar?" (شو صار؟) = what happened?
"Shoo ra'yak?" (شو رأيك؟) = what's your opinion?
One word. Five different questions. You'll hear "shoo" twenty times a day in the UAE.
"Laish" (ليش) = why.
Short. Direct. No extras needed.

"Laish ta'akhkhart?" (ليش تأخرت؟) = why were you late? "Laish ma yait?" (ليش ما ييت؟) = why didn't you come? "Laish chidhii?" (ليش جذي؟) = why like this?
In textbooks it's "limaadha" (لماذا). Nobody says that in real life. In the Gulf, it's "laish." Always.

@L_ThinkTank À se demander aussi, comment une Russe peut être recrutée alors moins qualifiée et compétente que 100% des français qui postulent sans même être reçu pour un entretien ?!
1/n

@L_ThinkTank Comme peut elle être recrutée dans ces entreprises hautement stratégiques sans obligations (exigées pour nous) de diplômes, réseau (piston), lettre de références, lettres de bonne moralité et enquête ?!

2/3

@L_ThinkTank Mais là, évidemment, l'#EntreSoi #Bourgeois (tjs Pro-Germano-AngloSaxon, ou Pro-Russe, ou Pro-Chine, tjs contre la France) ne trouvera pas de raison de se poser ces questions ; ceux l'ayant recruté sont corrompus et/ou travaillent pour Poutine/Russie .

Germany's goods and services surplus has collapsed, and its surplus is now down to 2.5% of its GDP -- about half the level of China's far larger economy

1/ Image
Germany unlike China does report that its accumulated surpluses have generated an investment income surplus -- and China's reported deficit by all accounts (even that of the IMF, which grades China on a very generous curve) makes no sense

2/ Image
I have criticized Germany for overly restrictive budgeting and excess surpluses in the past -- but fiscal has changed (thanks to the defense budget) and the surplus has fallen substantially ...

Bora falar de eleição, federação, coeficiente eleitoral e…

BORA COBRAR O PRÉ CANDIDATO HUMBERTO MATOS?

Quer voto petista? Então aguente a cobrança.
Humberto Matos protagonizou um evento convidando pré-candidato @Pimenta13Br para uma live, mas, no sigilo e com o auxílio da moderação, passou a noite bloqueando militantes que apenas fizeram o que qualquer eleitor consciente deve fazer: cobrar coerência e autocrítica. Image
Quer pedir voto, farmar apoio da base petista e, ao menor sinal de cobrança sobre o passado (que está registrado, inclusive com prints de falas recentes), a resposta é o silêncio do bloqueio. Se as frases que ele disse são soltas, como ele alega, por que o medo de discuti-las? Image

Russia 🇷🇺 is shutting the Rostov-Crimea road for civilian traffic after multiple ukrainian 🇺🇦 strikes hit this critical road

More strikes are also hitting the Mariupol-Donetsk highway. Right now, all the land corridor to Crimea is threatened.

This map is made thanks to multiple geolocations from : @99Dominik_ @blinzka @carse_n @dmitrij46839 @federicoborsar1 @franfran2424 @GarbuzYe @hochu_dodomu @klinger66 @Kukulkan415 @MaxximOSINT @moklasen @neonhandrail @AndrewPerpetua @NotWoofers @tom_bike @VyshnyaOstap (among others) and my own geolocations.

I have a total of 73 trucks hit since march, but I believe this is barely 20% of the real numbers, since most of the results are not filmed and multiple videos cannot be geolocalized.
More and more videos from southern Ukraine are showing the results of Ukraine's middle strikes, mainly done with Hornet drones as well as long range FPV drones, which can now reach 50 km.

🧵Hamas admitted today that Maysara Ahmed Salah was a Qassam commander posing as a “journalist”— Hamas publicly admits it now, it is no longer “Israel says so.” This is a systematic human shield strategy. EIGHT other recent examples below, out of dozens of cases: 1/ Image
May 20: Ibrahim Al-Sheikh Ali was outed as a PIJ commander posing as a journalist, one of 5 claimed "journalists" killed that day. This was a widely covered IDF attack that fueled claims that Israel not only killed journalists, but targeted them. That narrative has collapsed. 2/ Image
May 17: PIJ admitted that Hussam al-Dabbaka, listed by @pressfreedom as an innocent reporter killed by an IDF strike on his home, was a platoon commander. PIJ is just as guilty as Hamas for using the press vest as a human shield, putting REAL journalists at great risk. 3/ Image

Sin proteína alta + fuerza, el metabolismo baja y la flacidez aumenta. Image
2. “Ozempic face” y cuerpo
Cara hundida, piel colgante, arrugas y flacidez en glúteos/piernas. Común con pérdida rápida (>10-15% peso corporal). No tiene % exacto, pero es muy visible por la velocidad del efecto. Image

El dinero fiat moderno (los billetes y números digitales emitidos por los bancos centrales) no tiene valor por sí mismo, funciona como un título de cobro o certificado.

Al usar una moneda, estás reclamando una cuota del Tiempo de Trabajo Socialmente Necesario (TTSN) -
acumulado en la economía. Si un gobierno imprime dinero de la nada sin aumentar la producción real, la "tarta" del trabajo social sigue siendo la misma, pero se divide en trozos más pequeños, lo que genera inflación.
Los tipos de cambio en el mercado financiero globalizado (Forex) no reflejan de forma justa el esfuerzo o las horas de vida de los trabajadores de una nación.

Running WordPress maintenance in-house sounds great… until your dev team gets pulled away from revenue-generating work.

Routine updates, backups, and fixes can quietly eat hours your team could spend on new projects.
That’s the real tradeoff:

In-house = more control, but also hiring, management, fixed payroll, and limited capacity.

Outsourcing = flexible support, predictable costs, and your core team stays focused on building.
A lot of agencies don’t actually need a full-time WordPress maintenance hire.

If maintenance workload is inconsistent, hiring in-house often means paying for idle time… or overloading your team when things pile up.

Browder: How does Putin afford to keep fighting after four years? Oil and oil products. That is where the money comes from.

If we want to stop the invasion, we take away his money — and that means stopping Russia’s oil sales. 1/
Browder: Pausing sanctions does not create new jet fuel. Russia can still sell under sanctions — it just gets a lower price.

Removing pressure only redistributes profit back to Moscow. It does not solve shortages; it gives Putin more money. 2/
Browder: Zelenskyy is watching the West talk about sanctions, do them halfway, or delay them.

So Ukraine is sending drones into Russia and blowing up oil refineries — imposing its own oil sanctions because Western policy is fickle and half-hearted. 3/

Kellogg: Trump has been extremely measured with Iran, but negotiations should be broken off.

Seize Kharg Island. It controls 90% of Iran’s economy, puts the whole country at risk, especially the leadership, and creates leverage fast. 1/
Kellogg: Take the command-and-control hub for the Strait, put Marines there, line up Avenger-class minesweepers, and escort ships out on the Omani side.

Clear the Strait, take control of the situation, and stop trusting the IRGC. 2/
Kellogg: You do not have to invade Iran.

Take a couple of strategic choke points, take away the regime’s economy, strangle it, and build up resistance from inside. The government starts to fall when its survival is at stake. 3/

I've been given a copy of a briefing from Labour MPs 🧵.

Campaigners want Lauren Edwards or Andrew George to insist an identically flawed and widely criticised bill should become law using powers designed for, and only ever used by, an elected government.

Text:

The Parliament Acts plan: Members are being asked to force an unsafe bill into law

When it comes to enabling the state and doctors to help end vulnerable people’s lives, Parliament must be confident that any law it passes is safe. This Bill has already failed once because of its inadequacies.

Assisted dying campaigners want MPs to demand that the Parliament Acts are used on a Private Member’s Bill for the first time ever: to insist an identically flawed and widely criticised bill should become law using powers designed for, and only ever used by, an elected government.

This plan would mean entrenching in law known risks to vulnerable people – and to the NHS – that have been identified by experts including the Royal Colleges and the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Even the Bill’s sponsor has accepted that changes are needed in at least eleven areas.

Throughout, politicians on both sides have expressed strong support for palliative care, including hospices. Yet over the period this Bill has been debated, the availability of that care has shrunk. Hospices are cutting services, closing beds, and struggling to meet rising demand. Choice cannot be theoretical.

The Parliament Acts plan asks MPs to close their eyes and pretend the law is fit for purpose and no changes are needed.Image
This Bill? This way?

The Parliament Acts were created to ensure an elected Government with a mandate could pass its legislation.
This Bill is a Private Member’s Bill: no manifesto commitment, no impact assessment, no white paper, no pre- legislative consultation, and no Government endorsement of safety. Royal Colleges and the Equality and Human Rights Commission have refused to endorse it. The sponsor in the House of Lords has accepted that at least eleven separate aspects need to change. Attempts are being made to downplay what is being asked of MPs, but forcing this bill into law is dangerous and places vulnerable people at risk.

Members are being asked to support a Bill which is nowhere near ready to be made law, against the warnings of the Royal Colleges, the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the Delegated Powers Committee, and the former Chief Executive of NHS England.Image
Who says the Bill is unsafe?

A Lords Select Committee took evidence from the relevant Royal Colleges, professional bodies, the Equality and Human Rights Commission, mental health and domestic abuse charities, and ministers. None would confirm that the Bill is safe, and neither would Government ministers when the Committee asked them to do so

Royal College of Physicians: “...people [will make] these choices because of the lack of provision around good palliative care...it feels really wrong... where the disadvantaged populations are, there is service under provision and then that inequity and gap is just going to get wider and wider.”

Royal College of Psychiatrists: “Currently, needs can be identified but not necessarily met. Somebody could proceed where they may have made a different decision had those needs been met.”

Association for Palliative Medicine / CLADD Group:multidisciplinary involvement comes “too late... with the wrong people... and in the wrong form”.
British Association of Social Workers: the Bill “does not interface with adult safeguarding”, creating “significant problems”.

Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse:safeguards are “not sufficient to support those who are being coerced, particularly those who will be at their most vulnerable”

Royal College of Pathologists: medical examiners
are “not trained to identify” concerns around domestic abuse and “it is entirely possible” they would miss them under the Bill as drafted.

Mind: “the safeguards described in the current Bill are not adequate ... we feel we cannot support it in its current form”.

British Geriatrics Society: “There are inadequate safeguards within the Bill to protect older people, and there are no specific safeguards focussed on older people.”

National Down Syndrome Policy Group: “The Bill presumes the best, rather than legislates for the worst. That is the real risk with the Bill.”

Equality and Human Rights Commission: the Bill “does not really engage with the broader trends or cultural issues” around coercion. A legal challenge to the six-month limit will “almost certainly” be made,
and “it cannot be guaranteed that, whatever Parliament says, it will not be expanded by the courts”.

Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee: a “fundamentally flawed approach to delegated powers”, with “sweeping, unspecified and unjustified” powers and “unknowably broad” provisions. It allows any government to change any aspect of the NHS, including rewrite the foundational purposes of the NHS first inscribed in law by the Attlee Government.Image

THE MYTH OF IMMIGRATION FOR COMPETITIVENESS

Poles are told non-White mass migration is “essential” for competitiveness. Without it, the story goes, the economy collapses.

Polish public data tells a different story. The “shortage” is manufactured. The growth is parallel.

Here is the reality. 🧵
The “shortage” is a fabrication

Non-White-owned food businesses in the Polish corporate register (KRS), 2020 → 2026:

• Bangladeshi: 116 → 643 (5.5×)
• Indian: 114 → 475 (4.2×)
• Asian Other: 54 → 419 (7.8×)
• Turkish: 72 → 388 (5.4×)
• Pakistani: 16 → 76 (4.8×)

This isn’t “filling” a vacancy; it’s sector creation. They aren’t serving Poles. They are building ethnic enclaves.
Closed circuits, not integration

Look at the Bangladeshi cohort:

• 82% focus on food/catering
• 89% are wholly foreign-owned (zero Polish equity)
• 63% were registered in just the last three years

They aren’t integrating into the Polish market. They are operating in isolated, co-ethnic ecosystems with their own supply, payroll, and customer pipelines.

Back in April, Trump signed an executive order that cracked open a $400 billion market nobody talks about.

It's a brand new category of mental health treatment, and 3 small biotech stocks are positioned to ride it.

Here's each one and why they win:🧵
The category is psychedelic-assisted therapy.

It’s around lab-made magic mushrooms, taken in a clinic with a doctor.

The order fast-tracked approval for it, added $50M in funding, and gave certain drugs priority status.

The day after, 3 tied biotechs popped 20 to 50%. Image
Before you buy any of them, let’s understand why this happened.

280M people have serious depression right now.

The WHO expects it to be the leading driver of global disease burden by 2030.

And worse, about 85M don't respond to standard pills (30-35%). Image
