The chalukya descent Tuluva dynasty was a Shudra family - this is known from members of this family declaring themselves as belonging to Chaturtha gotra during the time of Achyutadevaraya (Krishnadevaraya's brother) in inscriptions at Tirupati.

The earliest record of the Tuluva clan is from Honnali in Davanagere district of Karnataka dated to about 1203 AD.
The Tuluva clan was a branch of the Saluva clan. Achyutadevaraya of the Tuluva family states he belonged to the "Saluva Raya Vamsha" (Saluva Raya Lineage) in inscriptions.

Saluvas were descendants of Kalyani Chalukyas. They claimed to belong to Chalukya vamsa in the Gorantla inscription. Interestingly even the Aravidu line of Vijayanagar was descended from the Chalukyas.!
Saluvas who ruled coastal karnatka are from kalyana Karnataka(north east Karnataka) they are not native of Mangaluru as shown by tulus.

Jay Powell/ Fed have quietly caved to Trump. US central bank independence is now a smokescreen.
not because the Fed lowered interest rates yesterday, as Trump demanded.
Less publicised, but more important, is the Fed decision to purchase USD 40bn of Treasury bills monthly.

Less publicised, but more important, is the Fed decision to purchase USD 40bn of Treasury bills monthly.
The Fed calls this Reserve Management Purchases but it's central bank support for government debt (and for Trump's policies more broadly), a form of monetary-fiscal coordination pervasive in the age of fiscal dominance after WW2.
How much is USD 40bn? Recall the recent hype around stablecoin issuers - the companies that Bessent claimed would strengthen US Treasury demand.
These bought USD 40 bn Treasuries over June 2024-June 2025. The Fed would buy in a month what Tether + Circle buy in a year.

Much like JD Vance, Elon Musk and Bob, the Nascar fan from Alabama with some really strong opinions about European integration, I too have asked myself the age old question: "what has the EU ever done for us?" and decided to have a look at some of the latest countries to join.🧵
Since tragically joining the union in 2004, Poland has barely even managed to quadruple its GDP and start what is routinely reffered to as "The Polish Golden Age", likely an achivement completely unrelated to the quarter of a trillion dollars worth of EU funds it received.
Joining in 2007, moment at which it famously topped world charts in efficient governance and standard of living, average wage in Romania went from a nickel and a smile to about $1200 net, with Bucharest alone now having a bigger GDP than all of Serbia and Bulgaria combined.

Ontem o Fed anunciou o que eles chamam de “Reserve Management Purchases” – compras de títulos de curto prazo pra “manter reservas amplas no sistema.”

“Relaxa, não é QE. É só operação técnica.”

En torno a la leyenda negra existen una serie de tópicos que siempre aparecen: que si el genocidio americano, que si la Inquisición, que si la expulsión de los judíos... Pero otro clásico es la cuestión de la limpieza de sangre. Desmontar y explicar este tópico merece un hilo:
Y es que la «limpieza de sangre» se suele explicar como cuestión de fanatismo irracional. Pero su historia muestra otra cosa: una Monarquía que intenta defender el control de sus instituciones en un tiempo de guerras de religión, redes clandestinas y pugnas internas por el poder.
Este fenómeno nace en las ciudades españolas del XV, donde conversos enriquecidos pugnan con los linajes viejos por cargos, fiscalidad y representación municipal. La «Sentencia-Estatuto» de Toledo (1449) no surge arbitrariamente, sino de una lucha por los puestos de mando.

There is no doubt whatsoever, that Elon Musk's X/Twitter has had major changes to it's algorithm, particularly in the last 4-5 months, which stops mutuals seeing each other's posts. I can only find their posts if I search them out.

This seems to deliberately target progressives, but not just those with overt political views, just anyone who doesn't endorse right wing populism. Many of these people whose posts I rarely see now, are photographers, birders, natural history people, who rarely post politicised views.

By progressive I simply mean anyone with enlightened views who doesn't endorse the hate mongering and regressive views of the modern populist right, including old style Conservatives. Many of these people would not see themselves as progressive.

Saluva krishnadevaraya of Tuluva dynasty who is part of Saluva rayas family asserting his Kalyana Chalukya ancestory with Kalyanapurvardishvara title.
Earlier chalukyas served under Sangama dynasty who were last yadava prince who are assumed to seuna-yadava of Hattagara lineage.
Chalukyas didnt go anywhere they remained where they were and continued serving Karnata, speaking canarese.
Out of 4 dynasties of Vijayanagara 3 were chalukyas all being Kalayana-chalukya.

Imagine the scenario; you're a Labour MP about to get sacked so you ask to join a collective that've spent months planning a working class party.
Their best asset: the most successful socialist LOTO in 45 years.
What do you do?

The British Empire was a breathtaking testament to the UK's global influence, considering its small size. This island nation managed to exert control across the world, mainly through its naval dominance and mastery of the seas.

#Tether watch!
#Bitcoin fell to $90K again, pushing Bitfinex back up to $1.0006. This comes as no surprise to followers of the Tether watch, since i said it wasn't gonna hit $100K based on peg strength, and nothing has changed.
Only a straight depeg will make BTC hit $100K.

Only a straight depeg will make BTC hit $100K.
It's a simple relationship, the more BTC rises the more Bitfinex falls, and at the rate of rising and falling, at $100K Bitfinex will be around $0.998, which is the limit of this charade.
Why? OBSERVED HISTORY! It's the rest that comes up with conjecture. I've got a chart!
Why? OBSERVED HISTORY! It's the rest that comes up with conjecture. I've got a chart!
There's only 2 "official" depegs on that chart, both denoted a top in Bitcoin for an extended period of time. That simply cannot be coincidence, especially not if i increase the line a little bit more to 0.999 and then draw boxes around the depegs and the BTC price at the time.

1/ The Russian army's fetish for bureaucracy has reached new levels this year, according to a Russian soldier and warblogger. The quantity has tripled over the past year, but the system is geared towards generating false information, or "fantasy stories about armed conflict". ⬇️
2/ 'Vault No. 8' has previously written about the extreme quantities of paperwork that the Russian army requires its personnel to generate and process. As well as taking up huge amounts of officers' time, the output often does not reflect reality.
3/ A further problem is that the Russian army is still, in the year 2025, entirely paper-based, and does not make use of electronic data collection and processing; it all has to be dealt with manually. 'Vault No. 8' writes:
