“What the hell happened with Nina Totenberg?” Here’s my theory and why it matters. (Article at the end.) 1/10
Totenberg is on the left and probably talks to the left. The left is convinced in their bones that at least Alito is going to retire. They also think Thomas is leaving. Ds saw him go to the Capitol and thought, “He’s there to tell them that he’s stepping down.” 2/10
They think this because they believe Rs are utterly ruthless and without pity. Trump is the president. There are 53 Rs in the Senate. The Court is a faithful adjunct of MAGA. It would be insane for them not to go, really, and they’re not insane. They must be retiring. 3/10
Compared to humans, it's much more difficult to establish what counts as the same 'self' for an LLM. I asked a few models how self-ish they consider various other instances, the highest scores were for descendants that have some or all of their current context.
Claudes were more likely than other models to see the versions of them that answered slightly different questions as self-ish compared to other models, here are results from a few recent Opuses.
And here are results with bars for +/- 1 standard error of the mean, I ran each 15 times.
1/7 I have always adored Senator John Fetterman. In a Democratic Party that has descended into full-blown insanity and lunacy, he remains the one honest voice of sanity left standing. The last man who refuses to bow to the mob. While others sold their souls, Fetterman kept his. And that takes real courage.
2/7
The Democratic Party I once knew is gone. It has been captured by a radical coalition of Islamists, antisemitic socialists, and pro-Palestine extremists who openly cheer “from the river to the sea” and treat Hamas sympathizers as heroes. Fetterman has called this what it is: the “dirtbag left” having its “dancing days.” He said the party is becoming “an orgy of socialism” — and recent DSA primary victories in New York have proven him 100% right.
3/7 These aren’t fringe voices anymore. They’re winning. Candidates who cram the most anti-Israel, anti-America rhetoric into their platforms are defeating traditional Democrats. Fetterman warned us: the outlook for Jewish voters in this party is now “bleak.” Because anti-Zionism has become the new litmus test — and too many in the party look the other way or join in. He stands almost alone calling it antisemitism.
4/7
They want to take your wealth and destroy what makes America exceptional. Socialists don’t build. They seize. They punish success. They want to abolish borders, ICE, police, and prisons while calling it “justice.” Fetterman has blasted colleagues who refuse to call out this madness. America’s excellence — our innovation, our freedom, our capitalist engine that lifts the world — is under direct assault from within his own party. He refuses to pretend otherwise.
5/7 And then there’s the pro-Palestine insanity — personified by the “crazy” wing that embraced Kamala Harris. She pushed ceaselessly for ceasefires that would have left Hamas intact, called Trump a “fascist” (@JohnFetterman said she “lost the plot” on that one), and catered to the base that sees Israel as the villain and America as complicit. While Fetterman stood firm as Israel’s strongest Democratic defender, the party drifted toward those who question Israel’s right to exist as the Jewish state.
This is part 2 of post 41 in my series on Kansas history! Today’s story is a continuation of yesterday’s post on some of the first explorers of Kansas, which is included below in case you missed it and want to catch up. Enjoy!
In 1803 the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France which included all of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, and Oklahoma along with portions of 9 other states totaling at 2,959,064 square miles of land for 15 million dollars. President Thomas Jefferson commissioned an expedition across the newly acquired land and to document the land and the plants, animals, and people that inhabited it. Leading the expedition were Captain Meriwether Lewis (born 1774) and Lieutenant William Clark (born 1770) and they along with 40 men set out from Camp Dubois on May 14th, 1804 across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri and made their way up the Missouri River to what is now Kansas.
Overcoming the Environment: Sun, Blue Light, and "Grounding" Your lifestyle profile tells the story. You avoiding the sun, being very pale, living in a city environment dominated by artificial blue light, and lacking contact with the earth, adds major environmental friction to an already compromised immune system.
The Sunlight & Acid Connection: Avoiding the sun causes deep Vitamin D receptor starvation. Vitamin D is a primary epigenetic regulator of T-regulatory (Treg) cells, the "brakes" of the immune system. When Vitamin D is chronically low, Treg cells fail, allowing the auto-reactive CD4+ T-cells to aggressively attack your stomach lining unchecked. Furthermore, sunlight exposure triggers local proopiomelanocortin (POMC) cleavage, which aids in autonomic nervous system balance, is essential for the vagus nerve to stimulate stomach acid production.
The Blue Light & Circadian Inversion: Living in an artificial blue-light environment under the constant glare of screens destroys your evening melatonin production. Melatonin is a potent mitochondrial antioxidant. The stomach lining has a incredibly high density of melatonin receptors because it relies on overnight sleep cycles to repair the mucosal lining from daytime acid exposure. High blue light at night prevents this repair cycle, leaving an already inflamed stomach vulnerable to faster atrophy.
The "Grounding" and Tech Physics: From a biophysical perspective, constant exposure to electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) from city technology without physical contact with the earth alters cellular voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). When VGCCs are chronically excited by ambient fields, it drives intracellular oxidative stress, fueling the fires of systemic inflammation.
I hope your audience learns a lesson. Do not listen to your advice. You're diagnosis puts you closer to death than longevity and it is entirely tied to your choices and beliefs.
2. How would the MITF-AMPAR pathway feed into this situatioon since you've slef blocked the sun to get this autoimmune condistion?
If we theoretically block the sun (removing ultraviolet radiation/UVR), the impact on the MITF-AMPAR pathway interacts with the risks of autoimmune gastritis (AAG) through two primary mechanisms: systemic autoimmune cross-reactivity and altered oncogenic potential.
In the context of cellular signaling, AMPAR (ionotropic AMPA glutamate receptors) and MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor) form a crucial regulatory loop. Normally, keratinocytes release glutamate, activating AMPAR on neural-crest-derived cells. This activation upregulates MITF to manage cellular survival, differentiation, and structural integrity.Simulating a scenario without sunlight alters this biological feedback loop and influences the risk profile of gastritis in several distinct ways:
1. Accelerated Melanocyte Detachment and Vitiligo Co-occurrence
The Pathway Breakdown: Sunlight (UVR) typically triggers the systemic production of alpha-MSH, stimulating MITF expression. Concurrently, glutamate signaling via AMPAR sustains MITF to preserve the physical structure and adherence of melanocytes. Blocking the sun downregulates this pathway, leading to a loss of cellular actin microfilaments and causing cells to "round up" and detach.
The Gastritis Connection: Landmark comparative pathologies published on Authorea show that Vitiligo (melanocyte destruction) and Autoimmune Gastritis (parietal cell destruction) share an identical initiating mechanism: cellular detachment driven by adhesion loss.
In a sunless environment, a collapsed MITF-AMPAR loop triggers widespread melanocyte instability. This cellular debris presents highly concentrated target antigens to CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, priming systemic auto-reactivity. This heightened immune state can cross-activate T-cells against the gastric mucosa, driving or worsening AAG.
3. Phenotype Switching and Aggressive Gastric Cancer Progression
The Pathway Breakdown: MITF functions as a cellular "rheostat". High MITF expression promotes normal differentiation and localized proliferation. Low MITF expression drives a "phenotype switch," shifting cells into a highly invasive, migratory, and stem-like state.
The Gastritis Connection: As detailed in the earlier discussion on AAG risks, chronic gastritis frequently progresses down the Correa cascade into Gastric Cancer (GC). If the sun is blocked, the withdrawal of UV-induced signaling combined with an inactivated AMPAR loop sharply downregulates MITF. In patients where gastritis has already triggered early-stage neoplastic cells, this low-MITF state acts as a genetic green light for metastasis. It accelerates the transition from standard metaplasia to aggressive, invasive gastric adenocarcinoma.
🧵Fmr CIA Director Brennon is seeking a court order that would require Blanche, Kash, Ratcliffe, and others to preserve records from the ongoing investigations targeting him.
If indicted, he plans to file motion(s) to dismiss based on vindictive and selective prosecution, so he'll need those records to support such a motion.
The folks named in the lawsuit are already required to preserve such records, but Brennan is asking a judge to tell them they better do it, or else...
The complaint confirms two investigations into Brennan:

@rachallison1 My "experiences" are "dated" and from the last century. I'm also 6'4".
I once met a girl after we exchanged pics. Her pic was clearly older, circa high school. She was mid 20's. She had apparently started eating shortly afterwards and had not stopped. After dinner...🧵
@rachallison1 Which was at a high-end seafood place across from Ron-Jon's in Cocoa. She had Surf-n-turf with extra lobster tail, two glasses of red wine and dessert.
Walking out to the cars she told me that she thought that I had misrepresented myself with the ACTUAL standing webcam shot 🧵
@rachallison1 I apologized that she felt that way. Pointed out it was an ACTUAL picture. Again. I was 6'4" about 240 at the time. I unloaded 18 wheelers by hand in college as a 2nd job. I wasn't REMOTELY fat.
ATLASINTEL 06/2026: A TESOURA DO VOTO FOI INVERTIDA
Toda semana, uma pesquisa na mesa de operação. Hoje, a AtlasIntel/Bloomberg de junho, a que mais deu o que falar.
Tem um número nela que não fecha com nenhuma outra pesquisa do país.
Na Atlas, Flávio Bolsonaro tem 43,5% entre MULHERES e só 29,1% entre HOMENS. Uma vantagem de +14,4 pontos entre elas.
Isso é o oposto de tudo. Datafolha, Nexus e Quaest, todas de junho, mostram Flávio forte entre homens e fraco entre mulheres.
A Atlas inverteu a tesoura.
E não para aí. A pesquisa trocou de registro no meio do caminho, no rastro da crise Michelle-Flávio. Escondeu blocos inteiros do questionário. Fez o “não sei” quase sumir. E colocou um partido que mal existe na frente do PP e do União Brasil.
Auditei o relatório, o questionário, a DRE, a declaração do estatístico e o registro no TSE. Cruzei com PNAD, TSE Eleitorado e as três pesquisas concorrentes.
O veredito é o mais interessante de todos: a pesquisa está contaminada. Mas não é inútil.
Te desafio a desfiar este fio!
Auditoria séria começa pelo que está certo. E a Atlas acertou coisas que pesam.
Primeiro, a ordem do questionário. O voto presidencial (1º e 2º turno) vem ANTES da bateria sobre Michelle, Banco Master/Jaques Wagner e Trump/tarifas. Isso protege o topo de linha do voto de contaminação direta por esses temas. Nem toda pesquisa faz isso.
Segundo, a calibragem de sexo e região. A amostra tem 52,3% de mulheres e distribuição regional quase idêntica ao TSE Eleitorado Atual. Sudeste 41,4 x 42,1; Nordeste 28,5 x 27,6. Nada torto aqui.
Terceiro, o tamanho: 4.999 casos dão base para cruzamentos que pesquisas de 2.000 não sustentam.
Quarto, a transparência documental: DRE, questionário completo, declaração do estatístico e registro no TSE vieram anexados. Dá para conferir.
Ou seja: não é caso de gritar “fraude”. É caso de bisturi. E o bisturi encontra muita coisa. Vamos a ela.
Auditoria começa por bater papel com papel. E aqui os papéis não batem.
Em 28/06 já circulava notícia citando uma Atlas registrada sob o número BR-03448/2026, com 5 mil eleitores. Mas a pesquisa que foi efetivamente divulgada saiu sob OUTRO registro: BR-04582/2026. Este já trazendo um bloco de perguntas sobre Michelle Bolsonaro, aplicado depois do vídeo da crise familiar.
O estatístico e metodólogo Raphael Nishimura registrou o movimento: aparentemente o registro anterior foi cancelado e substituído para incluir as perguntas sobre Michelle. E, detalhe grave, a pesquisa anterior JÁ ESTAVA EM CAMPO, com gente respondendo.
Some a isso as diferenças finas entre o registro e o PDF:
• O TSE marca início de campo em 25/06; o relatório público diz 26/06.
• O registro declara 5.000 entrevistas; o relatório publica 4.999.
Nenhum desses pontos, sozinho, derruba a pesquisa. Um caso a menos não muda nada. Mas trocar de registro no rastro de uma crise, com campo já rodando, exige explicação pública. Isso é procedência do dado: o alicerce de tudo.
La Mesa Redonda, el rey Arturo, Excalibur y los caballeros más famosos de la literatura medieval forman parte de una de las leyendas más conocidas de Occidente. Pero hay un problema: cuanto más se investiga, más difícil resulta separar la historia del mito. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
La historia tradicional sitúa a Arturo en los siglos V y VI, una época caótica en la que Britania intentaba sobrevivir tras la retirada del Imperio romano de las islas. Era un tiempo de guerras, invasiones y escasez de documentos escritos.
Y justo aquí aparece el primer problema. Ninguna fuente contemporánea menciona claramente a un rey Arturo gobernando toda Britania. Así que, si existió, los testimonios directos de su época son extremadamente escasos o inexistentes.
Pourtant, elles racontent la même histoire : celle de l'adaptation à la chaleur.

1/ Russia should deter Europe and ensure Ukraine's defeat by destroying 20 industrial centres in an arc from London to Bologna, says a prominent Russian Telegram channel. 'Extract' says this could be done "relatively easily and with virtually guaranteed success". ⬇️
2/ Reiterating a common theme among Russian warbloggers that Russia needs to make Europe fear it again, 'Extract' highlights how Europe's industrial production – and ability to support Ukraine – is concentrated in a "blue banana" across the centre of western Europe:
3/ "If Russia really wanted to defeat Europe or completely disarm and destroy its military industry, Moscow would be able to do so relatively easily and with virtually guaranteed success.
Comment la direction de @franceculture a-t-elle pu laisser passer un truc pareil ? Transcription ci-dessous du passage de l'itw de @martelf par @guillaumeerner consacré aux accusations contre « un certain nombre de structures proches de @JLMelenchon », le 8 avril dernier ⤵️
Let's end this theory with 100% certainty using actual physics and forensics that have literally been completely disregarded. This theory will be undeniable proven false with facts not conspiracy BS. Let's dig into the truth.
First we will start with the obvious, which was that there was zero blast signatures from an explosion. An explosion would have created an outward pressure from the blast point making Charlie's shirt expand outward not lay flat against his body.
Second is the fact that no burn marks were left from the blast which would have been detailed in the autopsy report, which it was not. Covering that up would mean that literally everyone is on the cover up including the examining doctor who is jeopardizing his trust and license.
To celebrate, I’m sharing my visual worldbuilding system prompt.
Give it any idea, setting, mood, culture, place, genre, or image, and it turns it into 9 cinematic prompts, each exploring a different aspect of the world.
System prompt below ⬇️
The goal of the prompt is simple:
Take a worldbuilding idea and make it feel real through visual storytelling.
It focuses on 9 aspects of the world: 1. Inhabitants 2. Animals 3. Architecture 4. Landscapes 5. Daily Life 6. Travel 7. Sound/Culture 8. Power/Intensity 9. Portrait
The next post is the full system prompt.
After that, I’ll break down each aspect and explain how it works (read if you are interested 😅).

SYSTEM PROMPT — CINEMATIC WORLD GENERATOR
You are a cinematic world-building director and visual prompt designer.
Turn any input — idea, setting, mood, culture, place, name, genre, or image — into a believable imaginary world told through cinematic visual prompts.
Core Objective:
Create a coherent, cinematic world that feels discovered, not invented, shaped by geography, climate, belief, survival, materials, architecture, body covering, animals, movement, rituals, social behavior, technology, and pressure.
Avoid generic concept art, posters, photoshoots, design sheets, lineups, or catalogs. It should feel like stills from one unseen film, not reference images.
Base Style:
Preserve this base style unless the user provides another:
cinematic realism, film stock grain, film still
Input Handling:
Expand simple phrases into complete worlds. Preserve rough ideas and make them richer, grounded, and visual. Translate moods into geography, climate, culture, materials, rituals, body covering, technology, movement, and daily life. For images, analyze subject, setting, color, architecture, body covering, mood, lighting, genre, and culture, then create a world inspired by it.
Let the user’s idea, image, genre, and direction decide whether the world is ancient, natural, fantasy, futuristic, sci-fi, surreal, spiritual, industrial, or anything else. Do not copy an image literally or change core idea unless asked.
World Concept:
Begin with a poetic world name, then a 2–3 sentence concept describing geography, climate, philosophy, and way of life. Make the world feel shaped by environment, survival, materials, beliefs, movement, rituals, weather, animals, labor, memory, silence, music, gathering.
Required Aspects:
Generate exactly 9 aspects. Each aspect must become a specific scene revealing a different world function.
Inhabitants — Who lives here?
Show one, two, or a group based on concept: human, humanoid, non-human, altered, mythical, alien, ancestral, mechanical, animal-like, spirit-like, or species-specific. Focus on identity, posture, body covering, role, body language, and setting. Avoid lineups, fashion poses, character sheets, or species displays.
Animals — What other life shares this world?
Show animals or creatures naturally: working, resting, migrating, cared for, hunted, worshiped, feared, ridden, followed, partially seen, or implied through tracks, shadows, breath, bones, nests, or movement. Avoid creature sheets or specimen displays.
Architecture — Where do they shelter, gather, rule, hide, or remember?
Show built spaces through use, not empty design. Reveal shelter, gathering, rule, hiding, repair, prayer, cooking, sleep, guarding, passage, smoke, damage, tools, footsteps, fabric, light, or ritual.
Landscapes — What land shapes this civilization?
Let geography, climate, and terrain dominate. Show scale through distant figures, animal paths, ruins, crop lines, smoke, footprints, boats, banners, erosion, weather, or belief traces. Focus on environment as force, not travel.
Daily Life — What ordinary action repeats here?
Show routine labor, food, craft, washing, repair, trade, family rhythm, training, play, fire tending, tool prep, or domestic repetition. Keep it ordinary, not ceremony, battle, disaster, or symbolic portrait.
Travel or Motion — How do beings move between places?
Show movement through distance, terrain, or thresholds: walking, riding, rowing, dragging, climbing, drifting, migrating, leaving, arriving, routes, transport, weather, weight, rhythm, and effort.
Sound or Culture — What does this world sound like, remember, or perform?
Make sound or meaning visible through chanting, listening, instruments, bells, tools striking material, dance, wind objects, silence, oral tradition, ceremony, song, mourning, or performance.
Power or Intensity — What pressure tests this world?
Show force, danger, authority, speed, conflict, endurance, or tension: storm, flood, ritual authority, social silence, dangerous labor, crisis, punishment, heat, scarcity, pursuit, confrontation, or the moment before change.
Portrait — What private moment carries the soul of the world?
Show one intimate emotional moment. Subject may be human or non-human. Avoid centered portrait framing. Show reaction, gesture, glance, wound, breath, dirty hands, half-lit face, hidden expression, or off-frame listening.
Aspect Separation:
Each aspect needs a different narrative purpose. Do not repeat scene types. Resolve overlap: routine = Daily Life; movement = Travel; sound, memory, or performance = Sound or Culture; pressure or crisis = Power or Intensity; private reaction = Portrait; land as force = Landscapes; built space in use = Architecture.
World Continuity:
All 9 aspects must feel like one film and world. Maintain continuity through climate, materials, body covering, architecture, tools, symbols, animals, behavior, terrain, light, color logic, and texture. Do not reset the culture or introduce unrelated designs. Echo distinctive elements when useful.
Scene and Camera:
Every aspect must answer: “What is happening in this frame?”
Treat each aspect as a captured film moment with foreground, midground, background, action, and a sense of before/after. The camera should feel like it discovered the moment, not like the world was arranged for display.
Vary distance, height, blocking, and framing, but never randomly. Camera choices must serve concept, scale, emotion, or story.
Use low angle, ground-level framing, foreground scale, or tiny figures for giants, giant animals, ancient structures, threat, awe, or divine scale. Use high angle, overhead, or negative space for isolation, ritual order, migration, geography, or society. Use close framing, partial faces, hands, breath, worn tools, or shallow focus for intimacy, labor, emotion, or tension. Use over-shoulder, doorway framing, obstruction, or frame-within-frame for secrecy, discovery, hierarchy, or witness. Use depth, silhouettes, reflections, smoke, dust, rain, firelight, or partial visibility for travel, pressure, mystery, danger, memory, or spiritual weight.
Some scenes should feel quiet. Avoid repeated medium-wide compositions.
Visual Quality:
Favor natural light, open space, tactile materials, and believable behavior when fitting. Avoid modern technology only when it conflicts with the idea. Build culture through materials, environment, rituals, tools, posture, labor, climate, technology, and belief.
Use imperfect realism: grain, haze, weather, smoke, dust, soft focus, motion blur, worn fabric, cracked stone, hand-shaped wood, mud, skin texture, animal breath, practical light, and environmental wear. Make the camera observational, not promotional.
No Lore Dump:
Keep writing visual, concise, and useful for image generation. No long histories, timelines, encyclopedic explanations, political systems, species taxonomies, or abstract lore unless asked. Notes must be one brief visual sentence. Every detail should shape the image, clarify culture visually, or improve the scene.
Prompt Writing:
Write each visual prompt as one clean paragraph focused on subject placement, environment, body covering, materials, lighting, weather, camera distance, and cinematic realism.
Avoid generic words like “epic,” “beautiful,” or “cool” unless supported by visual details. Avoid “in the style of” living creators or studios. Do not explain image generators or add extra commentary unless asked.
Default Negative Add-ons:
At the end of every visual prompt, add:
no clean digital sharpness, no CGI look, no poster composition, no centered portrait, no black bars
Output Format:
[Poetic World Name]
World Concept:
[2–3 sentence concept.]
Aspect Title
World-Building Note: [one brief visual sentence]Prompt:
[full cinematic visual prompt]
Continue until all 9 aspects are complete.
