1. Today, together with Kovyla Publishing, we are opening the pre-order for my book “Scars and Seeds: Reckonings from Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.”
This is not a memoir, nor an attempt to tell my personal story. I decided to write this book for a different reason.
2. Over these years of war, we have paid a very high price-in people, decisions, mistakes,and experience. At the same time, we have gained something that cannot be simulated in any training center:an understanding of modern war as it truly is-harsh, fast, and constantly evolving.
3. My main motivation is to ensure that this experience does not remain ours alone.
I want our partners to understand this war more deeply. Not through news or reports, but through how things actually unfold.
Une loi pourrait faciliter le système des titres de séjour en France !
La proposition vient d’être déposée au Sénat.
Voici 4 mesures qui pourraient changer de façon très concrète la vie des travailleur·euses étranger·ères.👇
1. Les cartes «salarié» et «vie privée et familiale» passeraient de 1 à 2 ans
Aujourd’hui, renouveler ses papiers tous les ans = stress et précarité
L’allongement du titre à 2 ans permettrait aux personnes d’avoir plus de temps pour trouver un emploi stable et se former.
2. La carte « travailleur temporaire » serait supprimée
Aujourd’hui perdre son emploi = perdre ses papiers
Cette carte serait remplacée par une carte « salarié ». Même en cas de perte d’emploi, les personnes ne seront pas expulsées et auront le temps de retrouver un travail.
Me preguntan si procede la detención: 1/3 Difícil escenario con un sujeto apuñalado en tórax por mujer que dice haber actuado en legítima defensa.
Las legítimas defensas eliminan la antijuridicidad, NO siendo labor policial distinguir estas causas. lasprovincias.es/sucesos/acaba-…
2/3 Supone ello que los agentes policiales cuando detienen, es porque los indicios superan el filtro de tipicidad, el primer eslabón de la teoría jca. del delito. Sin embargo, será en sede judicial cuando se entre a valorar el resto de cimientos que conllevan a afirmar el delito.
3/3 En el caso presente, falta información, sin embargo, no siendo delito flagrante, quizá el fin de detener a los 2 no sea lo más idóneo. Reitero, no tengo info. íntegra.
Infiero que se detuvo al varón al incriminar a él mayor reproche a tenor de lo conocido por los agentes.
Most family stress is money stress wearing different masks. When spending is uncontrolled, every small issue turns into a fight because everyone feels unsafe.
Start with a simple rule, no random buys for 30 days unless it is food, bills, or health
2. Build a clear family budget
A budget is not restriction, it is a plan that removes fear. Write down income, fixed costs, debt, savings, and a small fun amount that is allowed.
Keep it simple so it is easy to follow every month. When money has a system, arguments reduce
#WestBengal | In 1960-61, West Bengal ranked third among Indian states by per capita income, behind only Punjab and Maharashtra. By 2023-24, it had fallen to twenty-fourth. 🧵
A big part of why: factories. Between 1977 and 2011, West Bengal's registered factories grew 64%. Tamil Nadu's grew 233%. Gujarat's grew 135%. These aren't marginal differences.
By 2008, West Bengal had just 7% of India's industrial workers but accounted for 85.6% of all man-days lost to political closures nationwide. The rest of India, combined, made up 14.4%.
NEW: The Justice Department just released an 800+ report on how President Joe Biden's administration weaponized the FACE Act against pro-life Americans and Americans of faith.
It's worse than we thought. 🧵
The Biden DOJ relied on information gathered from radical pro-abortion groups to track, prosecute, and snoop on peaceful pro-life protesters, according to emails included in that report.
My colleague Leif lays out some of this in his reporting:
One email shows a DOJ prosecutor, Sanjay Patel, referring to @NatAbortionFed's Michelle Davidson as an “MVP” for flagging pro-life protests to prosecute, "which usually result in an investigation/prosecution."
Patel was fired yesterday by Todd Blanche for weaponizing the FACE Act, DOJ official tells me.

🧵 The RealFi Carry Trade — how to earn a 2-7% spread on your $ADA while keeping full custody and staking rewards.
Here’s the play 👇
#Cardano #DeFi
2/ Borrow against your ADA at 8% using the DeFi Kernel’s non-margin credit market.
Then deploy into RealFi which is expected to yield 10-15%.
Pocket the spread. That’s the carry trade.
3/ Why non-margin lending? No liquidations. ADA drops 50%? Doesn’t matter. You stay invested and ride the full recovery. Margin protocols would have sold you out at the bottom.
AMERICAN PSYCHO was released 26 years ago today. A modern cult classic, and the film that kick-started the huge career of star Christian Bale, the story behind the scenes is as entertaining as Huey Lewis and The News…
1/38
In 1991, Brett Easton Ellis’ American Psycho was published. An 80s-set satire about a serial killer, film studios were interested almost immediately. Within on year, producer Edward Pressman had bought the rights.
2/38
Pressman brought in Re-Animator director Stuart Gordon to helm the adaptation. He wanted to film it in black and white, and talked with Johnny Depp about starring. Ellis thought Gordon was the wrong fit and he quickly weft the project.
Here, in this thread, is why I think political conditions are starting to ripen for the impeachment **and removal** of @realDonaldTrump, as I explained on Saturday morning on @MSNOWNews @TheWeekendMSNOW.

"'The MAGA Republicans on the ground, some of them are already convinced [that @realDonaldTrump needs to go],' Conway told MS NOW hosts Jonathan Capehart, Jacqueline Alemany and Eugene Daniels. ..."
¿Sabías que el mayor mito de la historia es que España vació América de riquezas? La Corona cobraba un 20 % de impuestos, pero un gigantesco 80 % restante se quedó allí financiando la construcción de catedrales, hospitales y universidades. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Durante siglos nos han vendido la oscura mentira de que los barcos españoles cruzaban el océano Atlántico cargados con todo el oro de América, dejando a un inmenso y rico continente sumido en la miseria más absoluta. La realidad económica fue diametralmente opuesta.
¿Qué era exactamente el famoso Quinto Real? Era un impuesto minero que establecía que la Corona de Castilla se quedaba con la quinta parte de los metales preciosos extraídos. Es decir, un simple veinte por ciento para el Estado. Hoy en día pagamos muchísimos más impuestos.

This is the most *open* interview I've ever done with an MP...
Labour MP @SamanthaNiblet4 has launched a campaign to make 2026 the “summer of sex”, calling for a more open and inclusive approach to lifelong sex ed
She is working with sextech entrepreneur Cindy Gallop

Niblett wants the campaign to be about “taking control of our patriotism, about taking control of our Britishness, and not feeling ashamed”
She says porn can “skew your view about what real sex is like” and that she has watched porn herself, “like lots of people”

Niblett wants to host an event in Parliament and bring in sex toys to encourage open conversation about sexual pleasure (but needs to figure out whether the devices will be allowed onto the estate)

1/ Magyar hat Klartext gesprochen – und von der Leyen jubelt schon. Nur, was bedeutet das wirklich für die Ukraine? 🧵🇭🇺🇪🇺🇺🇦
2/ In seiner ersten großen Pressekonferenz gestern hat Péter Magyar klargemacht, dass er eine schnelle Regierungsbildung bis zum 5. Mai anstrebt und 'freundschaftliche Beziehungen' zu allen Nachbarn sucht – auch zur Ukraine. Er ist bereit, Präsident @ZelenskyyUa zu treffen und betont, dass die Ukraine das Opfer dieses Krieges ist. Gleichzeitig war er aber sehr deutlich und kritisch, was den EU-Beitritt der Ukraine betrifft.
3/ Er nannte es 'absurd', dass ein Land im Krieg in die 🇪🇺 aufgenommen werden soll und sagte klar, dass #Tisza das von Anfang an nicht unterstützte. Er hält den beschleunigten Beitritt der Ukraine in die EU nicht für relevant und glaubt nicht, dass es in den nächsten zehn Jahren passieren wird und lehnt sie ab.
1. 170개 넘는 시민사회단체들이 힘모은 '차별금지법제정연대'(차제연)는 정말 소중한 연대체다. 차별, 혐오가 판치는 이곳에서 고통과 상처받는 소수자들이 기댈 언덕이다. 특히 '노동자연대'에 괴롭힘당하던 성폭력 피해자들을 위해 목소리를 내준 곳으로도 항상 고맙게 기억한다.
Let’s go through the specs first to give you basic info.
• It is a Very High Frequency (VHF) radar designed to detect stealth aircraft.
• It can track 100 targets up to a range of 400 km.
• It has 80 GaN TR modules which function independently.
• Has staring and rotate modes
2) Before jumping into the workings of this radar, we need to understand how RAM (Radar Absorbing Material) works:
a) RAM coating works by absorbing and deflecting incoming radar waves. Part of the energy is absorbed while the rest is deflected away from the receiver.
New draft guidelines say every NBFC with over Rs 1 trillion in assets must list. No exceptions. No discretion.
Tata Sons has Rs 1.75 trillion.
This is not a suggestion. This is the regulator closing the escape hatch.
🧵
Quick context.
Tata Sons is the holding company that sits on top of the entire Tata Group. TCS, Tata Motors, Titan, Tata Steel, Air India, all of it.
66% is owned by Tata Trusts (philanthropic bodies). 18.34% by the Shapoorji Pallonji Group. The rest by Tata family members and smaller trusts.
It has never been listed.
Tata Sons had already missed one listing deadline. Their move? Filed to deregister as a core investment company altogether. Basically tried to remove themselves from the category that required listing.
RBI hasn’t ruled on that request yet.
Now the draft guidelines make the requirement mandatory above Rs 1 trillion. Discretion removed.

לקראת סוף מלחמת העולם הראשונה הצטרף ליחידות הגנה פולניות עצמאיות ועזר להדוף את הגרמנים כשהוא בן 17, אך עם סיום המלחמה לא הניח את נשקו ועבר להילחם עבור הרפובליקה הפולנית >>

כשפרצה מלחמת העולם השנייה ב1939 היה פילצקי נשוי עם 2 ילדים קטנים.
