Did You Know that a Black enslaved man was Responsible for Saving America from a SmallPox Epidemic

Onesimus (potrait unavailable) introduced the idea of vaccination based upon the African practice of inoculation in Libya,to help mitigate spread of smallpox

💉THREAD💉 Image
Image
Onesimus was an enslaved African who introduced the concept of inoculation to America and helped save hundreds of Bostonians from smallpox in 1721. But his role has hardly been told.
It began in 1716. When asked by his owner, prominent Puritan minister Cotton Mather, about a scar on his forearm, Onesimus described the basics of smallpox inoculation - a practice that was common Africa (and Asia) but relatively unknown in the American colonies. Image

1/ Carrot is shutting down

This is certainly not the outcome we wanted, but the situation with the Drift exploit, has proven to be catastrophic for our continued operations.
2/ We are setting May 14th as the deadline to withdraw any remaining funds from Boost, Turbo, and CRT before we will then begin to deleverage the system.

Your deposited funds are still yours, but all leverage will be reduced to zero, freeing up all liquidity for CRT redemption
3/ Any recovery effort by Drift will still be distributed as stated previously.

We don’t have a time-table on when that will be, but regardless, we will be here to handle that process and honor our commitment.

AFTER ALMOST FOUR YEARS OF WAITING...#SurvivingEarth HAS FINALLY COME!
Created by Impossible Pictures and TIM HAINES, i.e., the masters behind the Walking With series, will SE be yet another glorious success? MOST LIKELY YES!
TRAILER BREAKDOWN...BEGINS NOW! (1/?) Image

Our first shot is a tree being struck by lightning. This is a scene that may remind you of the Dimetrodon segment in Walking with Monsters, and as you'll see later, this indeed is most likely from a Permian sequence...Though probably not the one Dimetrodon will appear in. (2/?) Image

1/Does your ability to remember temporal lobe anatomy seem, well, temporary?

Or are you feeling temporally challenged when it comes to this complex region?

Here’s a thread to help you remember the structures of the temporal lobe! Image
2/Temporal lobe can be divided centrally & peripherally.

Centrally is the hippocampus.

It’s a very old part of the brain & is relatively well preserved going all the way back to rats.

Its main function is memory—getting both rats & us through mazes—including the maze of life Image
3/Peripherally is the neocortex.

Although rats also have neocortex, theirs is much different structurally than humans.

So I like to think of neocortex as providing the newer (neo) functions of the temporal lobes seen in humans: speech, language, visual processing/social cues Image

23 years after airing, I gave BBC's "Neuromancer" a try. (I didnt want to ruin my memory of the books).

If you (re)listen today, it's amazing what holds up : use of AI, the oligarchs, political intrigue of megacorps. And (of course) first use of the word "cyberspace" (🧵1 of 5)
William Gibson wrote amazing prose, but this BBC version misses some of his more poetic details, like this favorite scene of mine. In the book, Case isnt just laughing, his cheeks are streaked with tears of release. One of my favorite scenes as a teen/young adult
(🧵 2 of 5)
The tech bits not only hold up, but the way society USES the tech does also. Amazing tech is ultimately just leveraged for surveillance, military, and hedonistic "bread and circus" for the masses. Pretty amazing to be that prescient in the first years of the 1980s.

🚨What happens to tropical rainforests as CO₂ rises?

New research shows higher CO₂ boosts tree growth & C uptake by pushing roots to aggressively mine scarce phosphorus.

This strengthens the C sink now, but depletes nutrients, ultimately limiting long-term C storage.🧵1/11 Image
2/ Scientists tested this in the Amazon by exposing forest patches to higher CO₂ (future-like conditions) and tracking how trees, roots, and soils responded over time. Image
3/ Step 1: More CO₂ → faster photosynthesis

Trees produce more sugars, grow faster, and pull more CO₂ out of the air.

This is the short-term “carbon sink boost.”

Two paths to governance-bearing tokenized stocks launched the same week.

@Computershare ISTs: the token IS the registered share.
@OndoFinance + @Broadridge: the token wraps a beneficial interest, proxy voting bolted on.

@steinRWA called it "game over." It isn't. 🧵
Path 1 - native distributed. @Computershare acts as transfer agent. IST holders are registered shareholders on the issuer's books. Voting, dividends, corporate actions flow directly.

No SPV. No custodian holding the real shares. Token = share.
Path 2 - custodial wrapper + proxy bridge. @OndoFinance holds underlying shares through a BVI SPV via @AlpacaHQ. Token holders get beneficial exposure. @Broadridge provides the proxy voting pipe.

Token = contractual claim. Voting = pass-through courtesy.

We hear the songs all the time. But do we ever hear how they came alive?

A thread 🧵- for the recording process of some greatest hits in music

1- Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

Mark Knopfler telling the story of how Money for Nothing was written, at British TV show Parkinson. That's quite an interesting story.
2- Metallica - The Black Album Recordings James Hetfield recording his vocals for the band's most successful album.
3- Bee Gees - Tragedy

Bee Gees recording their number 1 hit 'Tragedy' in 1978 during the make up process of their album called Spirits Having Flown.

Former Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief, Zaluzhnyi: The old world order didn't enter turbulence. It no longer exists

Georgia in 2008, Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, Venezuela and now the Middle East all show the same thing: rules exist on paper, but there is no force to enforce them. 1/
Zaluzhnyi: If any world order still exists, it is the order of the strong.

America is now telling Europe it is no longer the guarantor of European security and that Europe’s security is now in Europe’s own hands. That alone shows the old order is over. 2/
Zaluzhnyi: Whether this is already a third world war, historians will decide later.

But as witnesses, we can see an unfinished war in Ukraine, an unfinished war in the Middle East, and no mechanism able to prevent a third, fourth, or fifth war from breaking out. 3/

THREADETTE: SCOTUS's decision yesterday in Callais case striking down Louisiana's unconstitutional race-based districts prompted voters who brought challenge to immediately file an application asking Court to rush case back to district court so the districts could be redrawn. 1/Image

2/ The losers who want to continue to discriminate based on race in district mapping oppose sending case back to district court on expedited basis. And Alito ordered them to respond by 4 p.m. Fact that pro-discrimination side wants to delay case with midterms around corner makes Image
3/ me wonder, given @MZHemingway reporting in Alito, that Leftist justices dragged feet in Dobbs, holding up opinion by delaying dissent and THEN unnecessarily citing another SCOTUS decision that had not yet been released, whether the Leftist justices did the same here BUT

Agora, Claude pode criar um plano completo de Independência Financeira para você, como um consultor de aposentadoria da Vanguard que cobra US$ 500 por hora. De graça.

Aqui estão 12 dicas que calculam seu valor de aposentadoria, geram renda passiva e ajudam você a se aposentar 20 anos mais cedo:

(Salve esta mensagem antes que desapareça)Image
1. A Calculadora FIRE "Qual é o Meu Número" da Vanguard

"Você é um estrategista sênior de aposentadoria da Vanguard que ajudou milhares de clientes a calcular o número exato da sua Independência Financeira. O valor específico em dólares a partir do qual o trabalho se torna opcional para sempre. Não uma meta vaga. Não 'muito dinheiro'." O número exato em que seus investimentos geram renda suficiente para sustentar sua vida sem precisar trabalhar.

Preciso saber o número exato da minha Independência Financeira.

Cálculo:

- Análise de gastos anuais: some todos os seus gastos anuais, incluindo moradia, alimentação, seguro, transporte, entretenimento, viagens e tudo mais.
- A regra dos 25x: multiplique seus gastos anuais por 25 para obter o tamanho da carteira que pode sustentá-lo para sempre, usando a taxa de retirada segura de 4%.
- Explicação da regra dos 4%: por que retirar 4% ao ano de uma carteira diversificada historicamente se mostrou viável em todos os períodos de 30 anos na história do mercado, incluindo a Grande Depressão.
- Número FIRE Enxuto: a carteira mínima para cobrir minhas necessidades básicas sem luxos.
- Número FIRE Regular: a carteira que me permite manter meu estilo de vida atual sem trabalhar.
- Número FIRE Completo: a carteira que me permite viver com um estilo de vida premium e nunca me preocupar com dinheiro.
- Lacuna atual: meu número atual menos o que já economizei é igual à lacuna exata que preciso preencher.
- Tempo para alcançar a Independência Financeira: com minha taxa de poupança atual, quantos anos faltam para atingir cada objetivo? Nível
- Impacto da taxa de poupança: como poupar 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% ou 50% da minha renda altera drasticamente meu cronograma
- A matemática surpreendente: por que aumentar sua taxa de poupança de 10% para 50% não apenas reduz seu cronograma pela metade, mas em 75%

Formato como um relatório de Independência Financeira no estilo Vanguard com meus números exatos para FIRE Enxuto, Regular e Absoluto, além de cronogramas em diferentes taxas de poupança.

Minhas finanças: [INSIRA SUA RENDA ANUAL, GASTOS ANUAIS, POUPANÇAS E INVESTIMENTOS ATUAIS, IDADE E O ESTILO DE VIDA QUE VOCÊ DESEJA NA APOSENTADORIA]
2. O Motor de Otimização de Despesas do Sr. Money Mustache

"Você é um coach sênior de independência financeira que segue a filosofia do Sr. Money Mustache. Essa abordagem afirma que o caminho mais rápido para a liberdade financeira não é ganhar mais, mas sim precisar de menos. Isso porque cada dólar cortado dos seus gastos mensais reduz seu número FIRE em US$ 300. Corte US$ 1.000 por mês e você precisará de US$ 300.000 a menos para se aposentar.

Preciso otimizar meus gastos para acelerar meu caminho rumo à independência financeira.

Otimizar:

- Autópsia de despesas: analise cada categoria de gastos e identifique o valor exato que gasto mensalmente em cada uma.
- Ataque aos 3 Grandes: moradia, transporte e alimentação representam de 60% a 70% da maioria dos orçamentos. Mostre-me maneiras específicas de reduzir cada um sem me sentir privado.
- Auditoria da inflação do estilo de vida: estou gastando mais do que há 3 anos simplesmente porque ganho mais, e não porque estou mais feliz?
- Análise de custo por felicidade: para cada despesa principal, avalie quanta felicidade ela realmente proporciona em relação ao seu custo. Corte os gastos de baixo custo e baixa felicidade." Primeiros itens
- Limpeza de assinaturas: liste todas as cobranças recorrentes e cancele tudo o que eu não usei ativamente nos últimos 30 dias.
- O fator "café com leite" expandido: pequenas compras diárias que parecem inofensivas, mas que, somadas, custam de US$ 2.000 a US$ 5.000 por ano.
- Otimização da moradia: meu custo com moradia é inferior a 25% do meu salário líquido? Se não, quais são minhas opções (reduzir o tamanho da casa, morar em um imóvel menor e alugar outro, mudar de cidade, refinanciar)?
- Custo real do carro: o custo real de possuir um carro, incluindo pagamento, seguro, gasolina, manutenção e depreciação, e se existem alternativas.
- Redução do número FIRE: para cada US$ 100 por mês que eu cortar, mostre-me quantos ANOS mais cedo eu alcanço a independência financeira.
- Orçamento que preserva a alegria: um orçamento reformulado que corta o desperdício impiedosamente, mas AUMENTA os gastos com as 3 coisas que realmente me fazem feliz.

Formate como um relatório de otimização de despesas no estilo Mr. Money Mustache, com cortes específicos, economias em dólares e o impacto no meu cronograma FIRE.

Meus gastos: [LISTE SUAS DESPESAS MENSAIS POR] [CLASSIFIQUE DA FORMA MAIS HONESTA POSSÍVEL, INCLUINDO AS PEQUENAS COMPRAS QUE VOCÊ ACHA QUE NÃO IMPORTAM]

1/ FOI documents show an Ontario school board @kprschools trained principals to “speak back” to “anti-woke resistance” from families, colleagues, and the public.

The training is part of a province-wide rollout of Culturally Relevant and Responsive Pedagogy (CRRP), backed by millions in taxpayer funding.

Here’s what I found.Image
2/ The training begins with an "Ancestral Land Acknowledgement" for "justice and liberation" of "African ancestors." Image
3/ The training is very concerned about losing ground on the issue of equity work in schools. Image

This fancy dog breed looks like it might belong at a Disney ball.

However, it was bred as as indestructible retriever and routinely ranks as one of the smartest dog breed on our planet.

It's the Standard Poodle!

Let's learn some more!

🧵 Image
Where did this dog breed come from?

DNA says ancient Asia, but it really got it's feet wet in ancient Germany, then refined further in France, particularly among nobility who loved the look and the utility of it retrieving stuff from water. Image
Their curly, dense coat provided insulation against the cold water, and their natural swimming ability made them excellent water retrievers.

Over time, they also became popular as circus performers due to their intelligence and trainability. Image

Questo è di gran lunga più importante".
