1/ Russia's economic crisis is deepening, with mass layoffs at public sector organisations and heavily indebted state corporations. It's a further sign of the severe strain on the Russian government's finances caused by the Ukraine war, and is a major political risk for Putin. ⬇️
2/ The 'Political Report' Telegram channel highlights the growing scale of the crisis in Russia's state-run bodies. It also notes the political risks that this is creating for the Russian government, which faces growing public hostility towards its policies:
3/ "Russia is plunging into a massive wave of layoffs and reductions, which is hitting public sector employees and state corporations particularly hard.

On a soybean farm in the Brazilian state of Tocantins, police found 42 people living in slave-like conditions.
28 of them were housed inside a single 70 x 70 building. There were no toilets. There were no showers.
The farm was called Fazenda Colorado. It was controlled by a company called Brookfield.
A Brazilian labour court ruled against the Brookfield-controlled firm. The ruling was upheld in December 2021.
The man who was Vice-Chair of Brookfield at the time is named Mark Carney.
A year later, he was promoted to Chair. (𝘏𝑒𝘢𝑑 𝑜𝘧 𝘉𝑜𝘢𝑟𝘥).
He is now the Prime Minister of Canada. 🇨🇦
Stay with me.
🇨🇴 In Colombia, another Brookfield owned company — began building a wind farm in the year 2020.
The turbines were raised on Wayuu ancestral land. The Associated Press, reporting earlier this year, wrote that the wind farm "looms over the cemetery near Cabo de la Vela."
A cemetery. The final resting place for entire generations. Today turbines turn in it's sky.
Wayuu Nation eventually blockaded the site. The sign they held read: "Indigenous territory closed for grave human rights violations."
🇺🇸 In the United States, Brookfield operated dams on the Kennebec River in Maine. Conservation groups sued them in 2021, alleging the dams were killing Atlantic salmon from an endangered population.
The US federal energy regulator has since required Brookfield to change how those dams operate so that the fish can live.
🇨🇦 And now we come home.
Mississauga First Nation — near Lake Huron's north shore, ~2 hours north of Toronto — is suing Brookfield and the Ontario government for $100,000,000.
Four dams on the Mississagi River, bought by Brookfield in 2002, that the community says destroyed their fishing sites, flooded their territory, and displaced their people. The First Nation was never consulted before the sale.
When the lawsuit was filed, Carney was Vice-Chair of Brookfield Asset Management.
The community's lawyer, Kate Kempton, described how they got here, in her own words:
"Brookfield shut the door in our face."
Four places. Four peoples. One company. One man at the top.
1/3 🧵
Here is what Brookfield — led by Mark Carney — told the public last year about where slavery risk lives inside its operations;
In its official Modern Slavery Statement, filed under Australian and Canadian law, the company wrote that the risk of modern slavery within the majority of its third-party vendors is low.
Then it named which of its suppliers it considered higher risk.
Three categories.
🖇️ Office stationery.
🧹 Cleaning.
🍽️ Catering.
That is what the company filed, to two national governments, in writing.
Meanwhile. On a Brazilian farm the company itself controlled, 42 people were living in slave-like conditions. 28 of them inside one house the size of two parking spaces... No toilets... No showers.
That wasn't a supplier. That wasn't a vendor.
That was Brookfield's own operation.
The Chair of that company, from 2022 until January of 2025, is the current Prime Minister of Canada.
Brookfield has a Trillion dollars in assets under management (AUM).
Indigenous peoples, First Nations, and court-documented workers have testified from four different countries about what this company did under this man's leadership.
🇧🇷 Brazil. 🇨🇴 Colombia. 🇺🇸 United States. 🇨🇦 Canada.
Every single claim is sourced; Global Witness. CBC Indigenous. The Associated Press. Brookfield's own filings. Anyone can verify every word themselves.
This isn't left or right.
Conservatives, Liberals, and New Democrats all represent ridings where First Nations live downstream of a dam this company owns.
You didn't know any of this yesterday.
You do today.
And that is how this ends.
Not with a Prime Minister resigning on his own, but with enough Canadians refusing to look away that the pressure becomes structural.
You are now a witness.
And witnesses change what happens next. 🇨🇦🍁
We give Canadians the receipts they haven't seen yet. Stand on Guard 🇨🇦 Share this with someone who hasn't seen it yet. #StandOnGuard #StandOnGuardCanada

🕎 FROM GOLEM TO GPT: The Jewish Sage Who Wired the Soul of AI
Before ChatGPT could hallucinate, a Jewish child prodigy from Missouri already dreamed of thinking machines.
Meet Norbert Wiener — direct descendant of Maimonides, ⬇️
⬇️ the medieval rabbi-philosopher who once codified the laws of life itself.
Born in 1894 to immigrant Jewish parents, Wiener was a prodigy who earned his PhD at 18 and later coined the word cybernetics — the science of control and communication in animals… and machines. ⬇️
chatgpt knows more about you than your best friend. Just enter your birthday and you'll see how it reads you like a book.
Here are 7 terrifyingly accurate prompts to try:
1. The Mirror of Shadows
My birthday is [Day/Month/Year]. Act like a psychologist specializing in personality profiles. Analyze my birthdate and tell me what my biggest emotional blind spot is and what personality trait I tend to hide from others to appear strong. Don't be nice, be brutally honest.
2. The "No Filter" Life Map
I was born on [Day/Month/Year]. Based on numerology and psychological archetypes, this map describes my typical dynamics in romantic relationships. It identifies the toxic mistakes I tend to repeat and why I find it so difficult to let go of certain situations.

Lately, it's so weird that people who were never into conspiracies are starting to talk about this. We are truly seeing progress in artificial development, and at the same time, we witness the brutality, the hate, and the rise of racism as we get closer to World War III.
And believe it or not, everything is connected, as this is part of the plan of the 'Elite.' Bill Ryan leaked their plan in 2010. (2/10)🧵
Artificial Intelligence was released at this time as a desperate measure by the Elite to capture and preserve human knowledge for their doomsday bunkers.
We are training the A.I. so it can mimic our intelligence and preserve global human creativity and knowledge.
They will need this for their robot workers in the bunkers. (3/10)🧵
“You were protecting the people of your village, and today, my heart protects you for the last time...”
With these words and silent tears, “Abu Wahid” mourned his son, Jihad Abu Nayim,
who rose as a martyr by the bullets of raiding settlers while defending the soil of Al-Mughayyir village, east of Ramallah.
An image that encapsulates the story of steadfastness; a father cradling the head of his son—
a man who did not wait for the final month to meet his daughter, whom he had anticipated for 15 years. Instead, he chose to bequeath her a legacy of dignity before they could ever meet.
Apple defaults your $1200 camera to a quarter of its actual resolution.
I changed 7 settings last week and my photos instantly looked professional.
Here's what Apple doesn't tell you:
1/ Shoot in 48MP Instead of 12MP
Settings → Camera → Formats → Photo Mode → Select "HEIF Max (48 MP)"
Apple defaults your $1200 phone to 12MP. The sensor does 48MP. You've been shooting at a quarter of what your camera can do since the day you bought it
2/ Turn Off Auto HDR
Settings → Camera → Turn OFF "Auto HDR"
Auto HDR overprocesses every photo. Halos around objects. Skin looks plastic. Skies look fake.
Turn on Smart HDR instead. Same processing, more natural results. Your photos stop looking like AI generated them.

Link: Exclusive—‘Breaking the Law’: Exposé Reveals Biden White House Orchestrated L@wfare Against Trump to rïg 2024 Election
Today, President Trump shared Alex Marlow's August 2025 article that alleges the Biden White House coordinated l@wfare through six major legal cases against Donald Trump to interfere in the 2024 election.

So let’s go back to the March 2020 Cover of Architectural Digest when Kim and Kanye unveiled their newly renovated $60M Hidden Hills home.
It had been under construction for years, with only a few glimpses which had built a lot of hype.
And here it was entirely Grey-Beige; walls, floors, designer furniture, even the Fontana on the wall.
But why all greige?
Well back in 2016, when Kanye was hiring the two designers he would commission for the home, Axel Vervoordt and Claudio Silvestrin, we will remember he had also just released Life of Pablo.
This album began with first line of Ultralight Beam, “We don’t want no devils in the house, we want the Lord, and that’s it!”
While Kanye side quests into gospel music, his home is being designed.
Today we’re introducing two big steps for health at OpenAI:
- ChatGPT for Clinicians, a free version of ChatGPT designed for clinical work
- HealthBench Professional, a new benchmark to evaluate real clinician chat tasks
We’re excited about what this can unlock for care. ❤️
Clinicians are under enormous pressure: more visits, more documentation, more evidence, and less time for patients.
They’re turning to AI: today, millions of clinicians use ChatGPT to support care delivery weekly, and usage has more than doubled in the last year.
We built ChatGPT for Clinicians around the tasks clinicians already bring to AI: care consults, writing/documentation, and medical research.
Today, ChatGPT for Clinicians is rolling out to verified clinicians in the U.S. to start, including physicians, NPs, PAs, and pharmacists.

Right I need to address something that has been bugging me for some time. long thread coming. I've been witnessing one of the worst abuses of AI on FB for some time involving Larry and many of mine and my colleague's photos.
There's some a$$hole on FB who has infiltrated the Larry for PM and Larry The Cat FB Groups constantly posting photos of ours or doctored images manipulated with AI from original photos take by us.
He has two accounts Dian Ruch (Sometimes Dian Fitri Ruch) and Sandy Ruch from which he posts his AI slop.
Sadly there's a real lady named Sandy Ruch who is an actual content creator unlike this guy to add to the confusion.
