Peter Sagan vs John Degenkolb vs Alexander Kristoff; Spring Classics 2025 (part 1).
#cyclingiceberg 1/25
Milan San Remo 2015 was an edition like many. A early breakaway steered clear, but would be caught long before the finish line. It was the era in which powerful sprinters dominated. Without La Maine, the course was too easy for the punchers, but too hard for pure sprinters. 2/25
Thats why Mark Cavendish (Quickstep) & Andre Greipel (Lotto) didnt top the favourite lists. Instead, the powerful sprint trio of Alexander Kristoff (Katusha), John Degenkolb (Giant), & Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) did. They were expected to feature at the front of all main classics 3/25

FINANCIAL THREAD 🧵CRIMES FROM BANKS AND THE JUSTICE COMING! (Opinion piece with Receipts)
1. GUILTY Verdict on Market Manipulator and Short Seller, Andrew Left. Dude is facing gazillion (exaggerated) years in the clink!
ANYWHOOOO....makes me wonder...if Hedgies are a lil scared right now. 😱😜
Years ago, Meme stocks were getting hit hard by short and naked short sellers! APEs were trying to expose these crimes! So while we all waited for anything to happen, an AMC APE sent bananas to Citadel CEO - Ken Griffin!😂😅😂
(Thread with receipts)
2. Melissa Lee talks Financial Treason!
3. Market Manipulation! Here's Ken Griffin, in his own words, talking about driving the price of the company to where he thinks it should be valued!
Meet George Katrougalos: A former Greek foreign minister chairing the U.N. committee overseeing all human rights experts.
He's embraced the Islamic Republic of Iran and praised Xi Jinping at an event after accepting $100,000 from China.
🧵 See his bias on full display:
While currently serving as the U.N. expert on a “democratic and equitable international order,” Katrougalos received $100,000 from China in 2025 — the same year he praised Xi Jinping’s book and the Chinese dictator’s “vision of openness and dialogue.”
In November 2025, Katrougalos traveled to Tehran and met with the Iranian regime’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi. The two lamented Israeli and American “crimes.”
Signs that your church is more about business than about God
1. Money is preached more than growth, character, or truth (1 Timothy 6:5)
Every message seems centered around giving, prosperity, or financial contribution while deeper spiritual growth is neglected. When money becomes the main focus constantly, the balance of the message begins to shift dangerously. A healthy church should build people spiritually, not only financially.
2. People are valued based on status, influence, or money (James 2:1-4)
Certain people receive special treatment because of wealth, connections, or public influence while others are ignored. Favoritism creates unhealthy culture within spiritual communities. God values people beyond social or financial status.
You're in a Research Scientist interview at OpenAI.
The interviewer asks:
"How would you expand the context length of an LLM from 2K to 128K tokens?"
You: "I will fine-tune the model on longer docs with 128K context."
Interview over.
Here's what you missed:
Extending the context window isn't just about larger matrices.
In a traditional transformer, expanding tokens by 8x increases memory needs by 64x due to the quadratic complexity of attention. Refer to the image below!
So, how do we manage it?
continue...👇
1) Sparse Attention
It limits the attention computation to a subset of tokens by:
- Using local attention (tokens attend only to their neighbors).
- Letting the model learn which tokens to focus on.
But this has a trade-off between computational complexity and performance.
"W okresie służby w SB UPA osobiście zabiłem 15 osób."
Bohater Zbrojnych Sił Ukrainy
Działacz SB UPA Arsenij Bożewśkyj, tak zeznawał:
"W okresie służby w SB UPA osobiście zabiłem 15 osób. Pamiętam, w lipcu 1943 nasz oddział przybył do byłej posiadłości hrabiego Koszewskiego, gdzie mieszkało około 100 Polaków, których zlikwidowaliśmy bezlitośnie przy użyciu broni palnej i białej. Zlikwidowaliśmy całe rodziny, nie oszczędzając starców, kobiet i dzieci. Dzieci płakały, kobiety - matki prosiły aby pozostawić ich dzieci przy życiu. Ale nie zwracaliśmy na te prośby uwagi i zabijali je używając do tego broni i noży. Osobiście zastrzeliłem z karabinu w tej rozprawie 8 ludzi..."

Roman Dymytro Klaczkiwśkyj "Oxrim"
Odznaczony: min. złotym krzyżem UPA I klasy, złotym krzyżem bojowej zasługi, pułkownik UPA
W tajnej dyrektywie terytorialnego dowództwa UPA - "Północ", podpisanej przez Romaan Dmytro Klaczkiwśkyj czytamy:
"(...) powinniśmy przeprowadzić wielka akcję likwidacji polskiego elementu.
Przy odejściu wojsk niemieckich należy wykorzystać ten dogodny moment dla zlikwidowania całej ludności męskiej w wieku od 16 do 60 lat(...)
Tej walki nie możemy przegrać, i za każdą cenę trzeba osłabić polskie siły. Leśne wsie oraz wioski położone obok leśnych masywów powinny zniknąć z powierzchni ziemi"

Interesujące jest, że Klaczkowski cudem ocalał z wyrokiem śmierci z więzienia NKWD ?

Szef Służby Bezpeky (SB) kowelskiego okręgowego prowodu OUN Mikołaj Hawryluk "Fedoś", "Arkadij" zeznał:
"(...) W okresie mojej działalności jako komendanta SB nadrejonowego prowodu, pod moim osobistym kierownictwem, z udziałem kurenia UPA, na terenie łuckiego nadrejonu zniszczono w całości następujące polskie kolonie: Kościuszkowo, Ozierany Polskie, Bunasiówka, Antonówka i inne.
Zabito około tysiąc Polaków i tylko niewielkiej części ludności udało się ukryć i zbiec do Łucka.

Here's what 33% of Republicans and 30% of Independents need to KNOW.
-Trump has not provided the U.S.A with an ECONOMY. PERIOD. He's 2.1 MILLION jobs in the RED...STILL. He lost 277 Million in Season one, created..we THINK...685K so far in Season two. I say WE THINK because 1/
in the 1.6 years of Season Two, there have been SIX DOWNWARD REVISIONS to his initially reported job numbers. That original report is what the 90% of our media now owned by right wing, GOP policy writing Billionaires allow to be broadcast. They NEVER give us the follow up. 2/
-Trump is responsible for 32% of the national Debt...in just 5.6 years in office. In fact, the last four @GOP 'presidents' have INCREASED OUR DEBT BY 151%, vs. the last four Dem's 21% increase.
-After Trump's FIRST 3 YEARS, BEFORE he turned a PAN-demic into a worst in world 3/
Federal prosecutors just charged an NIH virologist with smuggling biological materials into the United States.
His name is Vincent Munster. He's not a minor scientist. He runs the Virus Ecology Section at one of the government's premier BSL-4 labs.
This is bigger than a customs charge. Thread 🧵
Munster and colleague Claude Kwe returned from the Republic of Congo carrying a large case they told CBP contained diagnostic equipment.
Inside: 113 vials in Styrofoam coolers. 17 contained deactivated mpox. 1 contained chickenpox. 2 contained human DNA.
They face up to 5 years in prison.
Why does Munster's name matter?
In April 2024, Sen. Rand Paul released documents showing Rocky Mountain Laboratories — Munster's facility — was listed as a participant in EcoHealth Alliance's DEFUSE proposal.
The same proposal DARPA rejected for posing unacceptable biosafety risks.
1. For the SECOND TIME IN SIX MONTHS, a foreign real estate development led by Jared Kushner has been derailed by a GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION SCANDAL and mass protests.

2. Jared and Ivanka are developing a $4 billion resort centered around an uninhabited island in Albania.
The massive project, which includes 10,000 hotel rooms, is located in one of Europe’s most environmentally sensitive areas.
You can make $100+/day self-publishing books on Amazon.
All you need is:
• Wi-Fi
• A laptop
• $40/month in tools
Here are 10 Claude prompts I use to find niches, write books & collect royalties on Amazon:
Prompt 1: Find your book idea
"I want to publish a nonfiction book on Amazon in the area of [area of interest].
Give me 10 specific book ideas that:
- Solve a clear problem for a specific reader
- Could realistically sell on Amazon Kindle
- Don't require me to be a known expert
For each idea, give me: 1. A working title 2. Who would buy it (be specific) 3. The #1 problem it solves"
Prompt 2: Run the income math before you spend anything
"I'm publishing a book about [Topic] on Amazon in two formats:
- Kindle eBook at $4.99 (70% royalty)
- Paperback at $14.99 (~30% royalty)
Estimate monthly revenue if this book ranks in the top 10-20 of its subcategory.
Break down: daily units per format, royalty per unit, combined monthly income & what a 5-book catalog would generate."
Most people listen to it. Few stop to ask what it’s doing to their hearts.And too many Muslims underestimate its impact.
Here’s what Islam says;
The discussion about music is not new.
For over a thousand years, scholars have discussed it, written about it, and debated its details but one thing remained consistent:
They viewed music as something that affects the heart.
So the real question was never: “Does music affect the heart?” Even neuroscientists agree that it does.
The most important question is: How does it affect the heart?
Islam has always been concerned with what shapes the inner self not just actions.
There's an inscription from Paṭaivīṭu (c. 1426 AD) that's of interest not just because it attests (implicitly) to local brāhmaṇa-s practicing cousin-marriage, but also as a samayapattra that establishes it in-line with its legal defense by Devaṇṇa Bhaṭṭa (13th c. AD):
Note that as the Bṛhaspati Smṛti (1.6.15) here states, a Samayapattra is a legal document that formally establishes some convention for a specific subgroup provided they don't conflict with the ruling authority.
The specific purpose of the inscription is to establish as law a prohibition on brāhmaṇa-s in Paṭaivīṭu from participating in non-kanyādāna marriages lest they be subjected to an unspecified punishment and loss of caste.
Jenglot itu bukan patung. Di Banyuwangi, ada yang percaya jenglot adalah manusia yang mati karena ilmu hitam yang nggak sempurna raganya mengecil, membeku, tapi sesuatu di dalamnya masih hidup. Masih lapar. Pemiliknya kasih makan darah tiap malam. Kalau nggak dikasih, jenglot yang cari sendiri.
Imbalannya: kekayaan, perlindungan, apapun yang pemiliknya minta. Bayarannya: darahmu, seumur hidup. Dan waktu kamu mati, kamu ikut jadi jenglot.
Di Banyuwangi, seseorang nawarin kita lihat jenglot yang katanya udah tiga generasi dipelihara keluarganya. Gua harusnya nggak penasaran.
Dari Ponorogo ke Banyuwangi kita tempuh dengan dua kali ganti bus dan satu angkutan pedesaan yang bau solar. Angin dari jendela yang setengah kebuka bawa bau tanah basah yang terlalu mirip bau dari semua tempat yang udah kita datengin. Raka tidur di kursi belakang dengan lengan kirinya di atas tas. Najmi duduk dengan earphone masuk tapi gua yakin nggak dengerin musik. Dimas dan Dinda tidur senderan. Gua nggak bisa tidur. Setiap kali gua tutup mata, gua denger “Sateee…” dari dalam kepala bukan kenceng, tapi ada, dan gua mulai takut dengan cara gua udah terima itu sebagai sesuatu yang normal.
Banyuwangi punya reputasi yang gua tau sebelum kita ke sana. Ujung timur Jawa. Berbatasan Selat Bali. Tempat di mana batas antara dunia yang kelihatan dan nggak itu konon lebih tipis dari di tempat lain. Santet, pesugihan, ilmu hitam kalau nyebut di Jawa Timur, nama Banyuwangi keluar duluan.
Dan kita datang ke sini dengan bau dari Ponorogo yang belum ilang. Gua tau itu bukan kebetulan.
Di warung nasi pinggir pasar, seorang perempuan duduk di sebelah meja kita tanpa diundang. Empat puluhan, rambut dikepang panjang, baju batik using. Matanya langsung ke lengan Raka yang bengkak. “Sinten sing nggawa kalian mrene?” tanyanya dalam bahasa Using khas Banyuwangi. (Siapa yang membawa kalian ke sini?) “Kita cuma lewat, Bu,” kata Dimas “Wong kaya kalian ora sak madyo lewat.” Dia geleng pelan. “Ono sing ngeterake.” (Orang seperti kalian tidak sembarangan lewat. Ada yang mengantar.)
Namanya Mbak Rini. Neneknya punya jenglot yang udah dipelihara sejak zaman Belanda. Tiga generasi. Dikasih makan darah ayam tiap malam. “Tapi kemarin jenglote nangis,” katanya. Suaranya turun. “Nek jenglote nangis…” Dia diam sebentar. “…iku tandane pengen mangan sing luwih seger.” (Kalau jenglotnya menangis… itu tanda mau makan yang lebih segar.) Dinding di dalam dada gua mendadak dingin.

It's depressingly predictable to witness the outpouring of misinformation and hyperbole following the long-delayed publication of the EHRC's revised Code of Practice. The EA was never an access-all-areas pass to spaces and provisions for the opposite sex:
in particular it never gave the right to any man to declare himself a woman and make use of women's spaces and services on that basis. It's deeply regrettable that trans-identifying people were misled into believing they had rights that they never had, but the EHRC CoP
is not a roll-back of rights, or an attempt to drive trans-identifying people out of public life. It's a carefully-considered balancing act, aimed at making it possible for the single-sex exceptions in the Equality Act to work.
