🧵The USS Nimitz — America’s oldest aircraft carrier, laid down in 1968 and scheduled for decommissioning this month — just showed up off Cuba’s coast instead.
Raul Castro better watch out. There's a cell beside Maduro's!
Trump isn’t letting old ships rust. He’s using them to project power. 🧵
2/ The Navy extended the Nimitz’s service life by ~10 months.
Now the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group is in the Caribbean, sending a clear message to Havana.
“Welcome to the Caribbean, Nimitz!” — U.S. Southern Command.
It comes after the Justice Department indicted 94-year-old former Cuban dictator Raúl Castro.
Cuba is in free fall, cut off from Venezuelan oil money. Ordinary citizens are burning wood and charcoal to cook while the regime maintains fuel for its military and and lavish lifestyles for its "Communist" leaders.
על התסכול ממערכת הבחירות ושבירת ההגה חזק מדי - עיונים בתכנית כוללת לתחבורה ציבורית למגזר החרדי, שלעולם לא תיכתב
1/10
יחסית לגודלו, המגזר החרדי הוא כנראה הצרכן הגדול ביותר של שירותי תחבורה ציבורית במדינה. היה מן הראוי שהייתי מחשב את הפיצול, אמנם בצורה לא מאוד מדויקת, מסדר הרגלי נסיעה.
בכל מקרה די בוודאות היינו מגלים כי הציבור החרדי נוסע בתחצ בשיעורים גבוהים בהרבה מהציבור הכללי.

הסתמכות זאת על התחצ נעשית ללא ארגון על, מה שלא מאפיין כל כך את תכנון התחבורה הציבורית בישראל, שרובו מתבצע מירושלים. למעלה מכך, היו תכניות ייעודיות למגזר הערבי, אבל לא רק אליו. למה לחרדים לא?

Today, the Stanford @DigEconLab launches the AI Economic Indicators, a new platform for tracking how AI is reshaping work, productivity, adoption, and the economy.
1/6
Three key components:
1. The Canaries Dashboard (jointly with ADP Research) — labor market outcomes across occupations and worker groups with different levels of AI exposure.
This is the same data that we used for our "Canaries in the Coal Mine?" paper, updated monthly.
2/6
2. The Takeoff Tracker — macroeconomic indicators to give us an early warning of when and where better AI capabilities lead to an economic take-off.

Under President Trump, the State Department is defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes.
No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.
A U.S. embassy in West Africa uncovered a sophisticated birth tourism network of more than 100 foreign nationals using fraudulent documents and visa “fixers” to get themselves visas in order to get U.S. citizenship for their children.
We shut it down, revoked these foreign nationals’ visas, and are coordinating with local authorities to systematically identify and cut off any similar operations.
1. Okay @RealCandaceO , you want to go there. Cool. Here's a thread on the reality of Russia from the perspective of an ordinarily invisible American.
I first travelled to Russia in 2024 because I wanted to see for myself what it was about, with specific focus on the sanction regime and how it was impacting life for an ordinary Russian.
I revisited twice since then, just to ensure my understanding was not misplaced.
What I write below is not from a guided tour, not from an organized visit through contact with anyone of significance in Russia.
This is simply an American who figures out a way how to get a visa when it was exceptionally complicated during the Biden administration and returned twice thereafter - the latter when Trump took office.
Warning to readers. This will be a long thread, because I will take you on the full journey - beginning in 2024.
2. It's April 2014 - To say the person inside the opaque glass enclosure was stunned, physically flummoxed and surprised in the moment just before the security officers arrived to escort me to the guarded holding area, would be an understatement. And trust me, there’s been some stunned moments visible in the eyes of people who encountered me.
“You need to come with us,” was the end result of a brief conversation at passport control. Followed by “We need to ask you some questions.” A few hours later I exited onto the streets of the forbidden zone, with an ear-to-ear grin that would only be understood by those in my family who saw how it started as a child. However, before getting to that part of the story, let me begin with the end in mind.
This journey is not for those of worried disposition, and I do not recommend it for anyone who does not carry a strong stable constitution of snarky and pragmatically humorous outlook. In many ways this journey is exactly what you would expect, in other ways it is so completely the opposite it’s bizarre.
Y’all already know the motives and intents of how it started [Background] so, I’m going to skip the part about why I chose to do this and instead focus on the stuff that’s likely of greater interest, the discovery stuff. I’m only here to find out the truth of stuff in Russia vs what we are led to believe.
To begin, I have found the majority of people do not understand the truth of real things and do not believe that its possible for an American to travel to Russia. Perhaps you would be surprised at the number of people who have bought into the pretenses sold by media and don’t think such a journey is physically possible.
The funny thing is, within the system of travel requests and travel permissions, nothing has changed; yet, everyone acts like everything has changed. It’s a weird dynamic to navigate a system that everyone -on both sides- believes no longer exists, but it does.
Almost all of the Russian visa centers, consulates and offices within the Western Zone, are no longer operable. For example, in the USA there are only two offices to submit an application to travel to the “forbidden zone.” One office in Washington DC another in New York. Neither accepts mail applications nor mailed documents, so that makes the logistics more challenging, but not impossible. It depends on how determined you are.
I should also add that some U.S. politicians have no idea what is legally possible. I say this because oddly some asked me to give them instructions on the process. (I have no idea why.) I should also note that everything in this process I’m describing is done with legitimate compliance, nothing is sketchy.
Current travel to the FZ is a little goofy; then again, it always was. You first have to get a letter of invitation – a strangely worded process from what I can only fathom was a former Soviet era approach that somehow remains in place. You get the letter of invitation from a quasi-official process. Keep in mind, everything RU is “quasi-something.”
So, you text a phone number +1(202) 436-XX55 [I filtered the number because I don’t want any unsuspecting knucklehead to try it out and get on some list, but if you want it – DM me]. Within your text you need to give them your name, email address and approximate date for your travel. The travel voucher people will respond with a link to fill out a voucher application with details. Once you fill out and submit the form, they send you a bill. You pay the bill, and you get a travel voucher/invitation via pdf attachment. This is your “invitation.” The cost of the invitation depends on the type of travel visa you need.
After you get the travel invitation, you then fill out a lengthy VISA application form on a Russian consulate site. The questions are lengthy, detailed and generally you are giving them your life story. Then you print the application, attach your photograph, and you must take it to a Russian VISA center. Another quasi-governmental process.
In the USA you cannot mail the documents. You must physically take the visa application, travel invitation and your passport to Washington DC or New York. You pay the visa center to process your request. You must pay in cash. You leave the documents and your passport with the center, who then send everything to the consulate for review and/or visa approval. The center gives you a receipt with a consulate link to track your application.
You check the link provided on your receipt, and when you notice the process has returned to the visa center (a few weeks), you must then travel back to pick up your passport and visa. You do not know if you are approved or not until you pick up your passport and check. If yes, there is a full-page visa sticker inside. If no, then nothing, and you don’t get an explanation.
You can tell following the official and legal process is a little complicated, a little expensive (with travel) and annoying, but generally, it’s not unmanageable. From beginning to end, give yourself about a month to complete the tasks.
Once you have the visa, you can then plan travel. However, given the nature of the current politics, you cannot travel directly. You have to travel to a place where you can transition to travel into the RU. Turkey, a NATO member, but not an EU member state, is the hub most people use to transfer from the west to a flight into the Russian Federation.
Turkey, particularly Istanbul, is making a ton of money as an RU transit hub. Their economy is booming as the gateway into and out of the Russian federation. However, you don’t have to use Turkey; once you have an RU visa, you can fly into Russia from any Grey Zone country.
3. Still April *2024* - There are not many people doing this. During my trips to the visa centers, I could tell the only people there were operatives of various opaque three-letter agencies and some American contractors (some glowing brightly). The Russians and the USA agents/contractors all knew each other well and conversed with great ‘openly visible’ affection. It was like visiting a secret club where everyone else knew the rules except me. lol.. Seriously… it was casually funny.
This was a travel request process with great deliberateness, and I undertook it with extreme compliance for the detail needed. At the same time, I went through the process with a lighthearted approach and laughed at the silly stuff I discovered along the way. That humorous approach became very useful when the RU passport control officers, uniformed military, took me into the airport holding room for “questioning.”
Apparently, not many people are getting RU travel visas, and the arriving officers were a little surprised that everything was done “by the book” so to speak. After lengthy questioning (which was a little funny if you are not prone to intimidation), fingerprinting (took six guards in case I went full Jason Bourne on them), pictures (yes lots of them, the lineup kind) and general waiting while sitting on a green metal chair in an empty room while officers called other officers to find out what to do, I conjured up mental images of low-earth orbiting satellites suddenly activating and various computer networks coming online in dark and unused basements, the tone changed…. slightly.
I was escorted to passport check kiosk #47 for the friendly “welcome to Russia” part.
Big heavy stamp, thud SHIOO-WHACK noise!
“Wait, wha.., that’s it?… Da!
At this point the airport was generally closed, everything was dark, and as I descended the stopped escalator (now a stairs), I noticed my checked bag sitting on the floor in a big empty room at the end of a long-ago-stopped baggage claim conveyor belt.
I grabbed my bag, laughed at the hollow sound of the dark green/rusty exit door slamming behind me, and was greeted by a couple of laughing Ruskie wolverines sitting on the hood of a car eating pizza and smiling. “Comrade!“, funny – not funny.
Oh, and it’s the middle of April and snowing!
Oh, and remember how much you paid attention to the daily happenings of the U.S. war in Afghanistan? That’s the analogy for how the average Russian I have encountered thinks of Ukraine, which is to say – not much really. There’s far more discussion of Ukraine in the USA than there is in Russia.
Another odd little social detail I noticed. I’m in the most culturally progressive, young, urban, hip, coffee shop type geography in the country (St Petersburg); everyone has a newer model cell phone, and I noticed something different immediately. People don’t walk around attached to their devices here, you just don’t see it. People physically talk to each other, use phones for actual phone calls, and at dinner there’s no one with their head in their cell phone in the entire restaurant. It’s like 1990’s USA.
I've reviewed over 6,000 MRIs. The fat that's killing you isn't the fat you can pinch. It's wrapped around your heart and threaded through your muscle.
And almost nothing you've been told to do touches it.
Here's what actually works:
1. Diet and fasting
Counting calories loses weight, but it doesn't lose disease. Keto is better. Carnivore is better still. But you're not trying to weigh less. You're trying to lose disease, both present and future.
Skipping one meal does little. Going 24-48 hours flips your body into the repair state your ancestors lived in between hunts. Extended fasting beats intermittent. Intermittent beats grazing all day. Your body heals when you stop feeding it.
2. Exercise
Steady, elevated cardio keeps your cortisol elevated for hours after you stop, causing extended periods of harm. But if you sprint to exhaustion in 30 seconds, your cortisol crashes below where it started.
Walk for hours. Sprint for seconds. Avoid jogging.
Nothing releases more myokines than sprinting. Myokines are the messengers that tell your body to burn visceral fat and build muscle.
25 weird things that make you more likeable (scientifically):
1. Asking people about themselves instead of waiting for your turn to talk. 2. Remembering small details someone mentioned once and bringing it up later. 3. Being genuinely bad at something and laughing about it without shame. 4. Making eye contact without it feeling like a staring contest.
5. Saying someone's name in conversation. It sounds simple and it works every time. 6. Admitting when you don't know something instead of pretending. 7. Laughing at yourself before anyone else can. Takes all the power away. 8. Being the person who actually listens instead of just waiting to respond.
