Did you know that @skillz bought @beamable tech right after they flagrantly violated @USEEOC with 1) refusal to follow ADA law 2) retaliation 3) wrongful termination 4) SLAPP the victim that got their neck broken because of Ali's "you must feel pain" policy at the company.
At what point will the Sovereign step in and hold @beamable accountable? This should be the @TheJusticeDept but it's too busy scrubbing the #EpsteinFiles and redacting the #AlienFiles. I find the process to be anti-American, discriminatory, and unlawful. All of it.
@Beamable @TheJusticeDept Truthfully though, in order to hold them accountable, the @USEEOC would equally need to go after @WBGames as well because they were equally involved in the damages. My direct manager came from WB Games, and the culture followed with him to discriminate against disabled engineers.

È il 31 gennaio 1969.
Il luogo?
Viareggio.
Ermanno Lavorini esce di casa alle due e mezza del pomeriggio sulla sua bicicletta rossa, nuova fiammante.
Ha dodici anni, un ragazzino lindo, "tenuto come una statuina di porcellana dai genitori". Image
Il papà si è fatto da solo, lavorando come un mulo, girando mercati di paesi e città.
Era stato anche a Milano, vendendo biancheria.
Aveva guadagnato bene.
Ora ha un bel negozio di stoffe nel centro di Viareggio e sopra ci ha costruito un palazzo.
Dove abita con la famiglia. Image
Stesso giorno - Ore 15.00.
La mamma allarmata comincia a chiamare in negozio la figlia Marinella.
Ore 18.00, un altro squillo.
Marinella risponde e lancia un urlo.

"Ermanno rientrerà dopo cena.
Dica al suo babbo di preparare quindici milioni e di non avvertire la polizia". Image

2. Angels: Beings of Light

A Quatrain Poem🧵in 10 parts Image
Angels are beautiful winged beings that Allah created from light,
they worship and obey Allah tirelessly, and do His tasks with might.
Angels have no free will; Allah’s Commands they have always obeyed,
yet, Angels have been worshipping Allah, ever since they were made.
🧵1/10 Image
Angels were made before Humans, and worried Man would cause harm,
they still hate evil disbelievers, but love the pious followers of Islam.
There is no such thing as ‘fallen Angels’ as Angels never do any sins,
Angels comfort Muslims, whereas Satan and his crew are Jinns.

REPORT w/EXCLUSIVE INFO: Autistic 13-Year-Old Was Left Begging for Help After Brutal School Attack While Administrators Focused on Getting a Forced Statement Instead of Medical Care 🚨

This will be another exclusive thread.

Please read all parts of the story. This mother and daughter deserves to have their story told. And if you can, please donate to her fundraiser. What happened is brutal. I privately watched the video of the as*ault. We don’t have to live like this. 👇

Northside ISD, San Antonio, Texas - A San Antonio mother says her 13-year-old autistic daughter was brutally beaten by multiple students at Sul Ross Middle School in Northside ISD after months of reported bullying - and according to sources I interviewed, school administrators left the injured girl begging for help while staff focused on obtaining a written statement instead of immediate medical treatment.

I have obtained documents, medical records, emails, photographs, interview transcripts, and screenshots related to the case. After reviewing the material, a disturbing picture emerges of what Maddison McDonald experienced before, during, and after the February 26, 2026 attack.

According to the family, 7th grader Maddison McDonald had repeatedly reported bullying and threats to school staff for months leading up to the assault. I obtained emails showing school staff discussing counseling resources for Maddison weeks before the attack due to emotional distress and bullying concerns. Additional records I reviewed show Maddison had documented autism and ADHD diagnoses - diagnoses the family says the school is now attempting to claim were never provided!

Despite the documented concerns, the family says nothing meaningful was done to stop the escalating harassment.

According to a source I interviewed for over an hour regarding the incident, Maddison had submitted multiple written reports about bullying to administrators during the school year.

The source even alleges one administrator ripped up several of those reports in front of Maddison and accused her of “causing drama.”

Then on February 26, the situation escalated into violence.Image
Image
According to the family and Maddison’s handwritten statement completed after the attack, Maddison was walking to class when multiple older students approached her from behind.

The statement says Maddison told them to “leave me alone” and “f*** off” before several students grabbed her, dragged her to the ground by her hair, punched her, kicked her, and broke her glasses during the assault. (I have seen this video footage)

The mother informed me that students had already begun filming before the attack even started.

According to a source, the family was told there were multiple students recording from different angles and that the assault appeared coordinated.

The mother stated that students had “laid in wait” for Maddison and intentionally positioned themselves in order to target her.

I have also obtained photographs that show injuries to Maddison’s scalp near her ear where the family says large chunks of hair were ripped out during the assault.

Additional photographs show Maddison later hospitalized wearing a neck brace while being evaluated for head, neck, and back injuries.

The mother says Maddison suffered severe pain, swelling to her face, trauma to her scalp, and complications connected to a prior traumatic brain injury that already caused migraines and neurological issues.

But what happened afterward inside the school office may be even more disturbing.Image
Image
Image
Image
According to my source, Maddison - injured, crying, and begging for help - was denied immediate medical attention for over an hour while administrators pressured her to write a statement accepting partial blame for the attack.

The mother stated that Maddison repeatedly begged for her mother, cried that she was in pain, and asked for medical help while sitting in the office.

“She was crying and begging for help,” the mother told me. “She kept saying, ‘Can I just have my mom please? I’m hurting?’”

I have also been informed that one administrator stood over Maddison demanding she rewrite portions of her statement because Maddison had admitted to telling the students to “f*** off” before the assault.

According to an interview with one of my sources, administrators insisted Maddison had “started it” because of those words, despite claims that the students had approached her from behind and attacked her anyway.

School staff initially failed to contact Maddison’s mother after the assault occurred.

The mother says Maddison herself managed to contact her using her damaged cellphone after one of the students allegedly stomped on it during the attack.

Maddison called her mother, crying and saying:
“Mom, they hurt me. They jumped me. Please help me.”

When the mother arrived at the school, staff initially refused to allow her to see her daughter.

The family claims they eventually called EMS themselves after realizing the school had not done so.

According to another source, even EMS personnel allegedly had to tell one administrator to move out of the way while they attempted to evaluate Maddison.

The mother informed me that staff appeared more concerned about obtaining a written statement than addressing her daughter’s injuries.

The family also claims school officials later attempted to minimize the incident publicly.

As you can see in this infuriating statement, Maddison felt pressured into apologizing for being attacked.Image

Today’s premium newsletter is part 1 of my What If...We're In An AI Bubble? series, covering scenarios that could burst the bubble starting with token-based billing's destruction of most AI products, and the slow collapse of data center construction.
wheresyoured.at/premium-what-i…
I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of words in the last year talking about the very and scary signs that we are an AI bubble, and the exuberance fueling it. Today is the first time in a long time where I’ve discussed the potential consequences in depth.

wheresyoured.at/premium-what-i…Image
I feel like people are very cavalier when discussing the AI bubble, saying stuff like "we're in an OpenAI bubble," not realizing that the collapse of OpenAI would destroy AI investment, AI startups, and kill debt issuance for AI data centers.

Sevim Dagdelen ist ein bekanntes Gesicht des BSW, doch wer ist der Mann an ihrer Seite?
Diese seltene Aufnahme zeigt Sergej Kiritschuk aus der Ukraine.

🧵1/15 Image
Sergej Kiritschuk war einer der Gründer der ukrainischen prorussischen Organisation Borotba im Jahr 2011, die aus der Vereinigung eines Teils der Organisation der Marxisten hervorging. Borotba bezeichnet sich selbst offiziell als antifaschistisch und marxistisch-leninistisch. Am Gründungskongress nahmen auch Delegierte aus Schweden und Russland teil.

Die Surkow-Leaks entlarvten pro-russische Akteure wie Sergej Kiritschuk, Wiktor Schapinow und andere und zeigten, dass die Organisation Borotba in Wirklichkeit mit russischen, prorussischen sowie rechtsextremen, faschistischen Gruppen und separatistischen Milizen kooperierte. Darüber hinaus verbreitete Borotba Narrative, die vollständig mit den Aussagen strategischer Dokumente des Kremls übereinstimmten.

🧵 El bloqueo de cuentas por la UIF es una de las medidas más lesivas del sistema jurídico mexicano.
Destruye patrimonios. Paraliza empresas. Condena familias.
Y la mayoría no sabe cómo defenderse.
Hilo técnico sobre el proceso y su impugnación. 👇
2️⃣ La UIF, con fundamento en el artículo 115 de la Ley de Instituciones de Crédito, ordena bloquear cuentas.
Sin orden judicial.
Sin notificación previa.
Sin plazo máximo legal.
El afectado se entera cuando ya no puede acceder a su dinero. ⚠️
3️⃣ La UIF notifica al afectado y le otorga plazo para desvirtuar la alerta.
El afectado presenta pruebas.
La UIF las valora.
Y es juez y parte de su propia decisión.
No existe imparcialidad estructural en este proceso.

Le RN unit les peu diplômés (riches ou pauvres), ce qui éloigne beaucoup de prolos de la Gauche. En face, le Centre et la Gauche se neutralisent. Le Centre élitiste ne perce pas là où les diplômes sont peu rentables et la Gauche perd son vivier "éduqué-prospère". (@a_bergeaud) Image
On repère très bien la droitisation des communes puisque la frontière qui sépare la Gauche du reste du champ politique est une bissectrice très décalée vers la droite, ce qui signifie qu'il faut vraiment beaucoup manquer de revenu par rapport au diplôme pour voter à Gauche
Donc la Gauche qui subsiste est forcément "caricaturale" au plan idéologique, mais pas forcément marginalisée puisque les communes concernées peuvent être très populeuses

🚨BREAKING: Claude can now research like a Stanford PhD student.

Here are 6 insane Claude prompts that turn 40+ research papers into structured literature reviews, knowledge maps, and research gaps in minutes

(Save this) Image
Image
1. The Intake Protocol

Use this when you first upload your papers:

"I'm going to share [X] papers on [topic].
Before I ask anything, do this:

1. List every paper by author + year + core claim in one sentence
2. Group them into clusters of shared assumptions
3. Flag any paper that contradicts another

Don't summarize. Map the landscape."
2. The Contradiction Finder

Most researchers miss this. This prompt doesn't:

"Across all papers uploaded, identify every point where two
or more authors directly contradict each other.

For each contradiction:
- State both positions
- Name the papers
- Explain WHY they likely disagree (methodology, dataset, era)

Format as a table."

1/ Russia's shrunken Victory Day parade in Moscow on 9th May has been a TV ratings flop, reflecting a lack of public interest and its exceptionally short duration. Russian broadcasters report 25% fewer people tuning in this year. ⬇️
2/ The Russian news outlet 'We can explain' reports that the combined rating for the Victory Day Parade broadcast across the three main broadcasters (Channel One, Rossiya 1, and NTV) this year was only 16%. This is a near-25% drop from the 20.5% rating recorded in 2025.
3/ The parade was overtaken in the ratings by the wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. 'We can explain' suggests that this "may be due to the show's shortening and watering down."

Finally we sold our Bangalore property. Being an NRI the process is tedious. I will give all the steps here so that it might be useful. Below are the main steps

1. Power of Attorney - this is first step if you don’t want to go to India for registration. Take 2 witnesses 1/7
with you to a lawyer and sign the POA document and get it notarized. Then book an appointment with BLS under miscellaneous attestation category. Submit the documents. These documents will get signed by consulate general from Indian embassy. It will take 7-14 days to receive 2/7
Once you receive the signed copy. You need to sent the original document to India. Remember POA should be done on blood relative like siblings/parents. No in-laws as the stamp duty will be 1-5% on total
Property value. If it’s blood relative then it’s 2500 Rupees only. 3/7

Churchill and Jung both understood something modern psychology forgot:

Depression grows when life becomes only thought.

The way out is not more analysis.
It is action, symbol, body and imagination.

Here are 7 body-based ways to move from collapse into momentum: 🧵

1. Use your hands to build something.Image
Image
Churchill had bricks.
Jung had wood and stone.

They both knew something ancient:

The moment you use your hands to make something, your mental state changes.

Rumination loses power when attention is absorbed in a concrete act.

Depression wants you sealed inside your head.
Creation pulls you back into the world.
2. Walk outdoors without devices.

No music.
No podcast.

Just nature and you.

Walking brings back horizon, rhythm, weather, light, and ground.

Your mind opens because your body is no longer frozen in the same room with the same thoughts.

Maksym Zhorin, Deputy Commander of Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps:

The situation is no longer as favorable for Russian forces as it was a year ago. 1/10 Image
First, the Ukrainian Forces have significantly adapted to the tactics Russia employs. Second, Ukrainian forces have increasingly disrupted Russian logistics, primarily through greater battlefield transparency and the ability to conduct strikes deep within operational sectors. 2/
The zone of constant surveillance continues to expand, while the strike zone is expanding even further. At this point, virtually no vehicle — not even motorcycles — can survive within roughly ten kilometers of the line of contact. 3/10

A distribuição do documentário A Colisão dos Destinos não seguiu o script comercial e tradicional como já era de se esperar.

Por que?
Segundo o diretor e produtor do documentário Doriel Francisco e os envolvidos no projeto, houve tentativas iniciais de negociar com distribuidoras tradicionais para colocar o filme nos cinemas de forma “normal”, mas as empresas recuaram antes de fechar os acordos por receio de retaliações e pressão política do mercado. Se associar a uma obra focada em Jair Bolsonaro na pujante “democracia” parece não ser uma boa ideia.Image
Como o filme foi realizado de forma totalmente independente pela Dori Filmes, sem a utilização de leis de incentivo cultural (como a Lei Rouanet) ou patrocínios de grandes empresas privadas, isso fez com que a ausência de uma grande distribuidora por trás da obra limitasse o poder de barganha para "reservar" salas no Cinemark ou UCI que priorizam blockbusters internacionais e produções com acordos comerciais de grande escala.

Então, a Dori Filmes fechou acordos pulverizados diretamente com redes menores, regionais ou cinemas independentes pelo país.
Pra variar a “democracia” quer nos deixar de fora das telas 😂.

Se você é um bolsonarista teimoso(a) e pode prestigiar o documentário, aqui estão os cinemas e a localização de onde assistir.

Update from Maya!

@bphillipsonMP has promised to present the long-awaited code of  practice by Parliament this month.

If she is going to meet her deadline, the parliamentary timetable means that in practice she has to do it in just a few days’ time 🧵Image
The code, when it comes, will provide a detailed explanation of the single-sex and separate-sex exceptions as applied in different kinds of single-sex services, with lots of practical examples.
Perhaps its most important function will be to stop duty-bearers repeating endlessly that the reason they haven’t changed unlawful policies in the year-plus since the Supreme Court judgment in the case of For Women Scotland is that they are “waiting for guidance”.

Quand je lis les commentaires (d’hommes les plus souvent) sur Flavie Flament je me dis que la route est encore longue. Qu’elle ait été victime de deux adultes différents est en réalité très logique. C’était une enfant surexposée par sa mère, violée à 13 ans par un photographe
Dont on encensait Des photos intolérables. Je vous invite à regarder les soit disant photos d’art de David Hamilton pour ce qu’elles étaient : une exposition pédocriminelle et sordide de PETITES FILLES. Et comme souvent cette enfant jetée en pâture peut avoir été à nouveau
Proie d’un prédateur. MissOK à 16 ans donc toujours exposée aux hommes adultes. Les faits sont prescrits mais tout à fait plausibles au regard de la particulière vulnérabilité de F Flament.
