Here are some thoughts on why any JCPOA-type agreement between USA and Iran is very unlikely- even if the traitorous "liberals" in Iran mange to sign it. (1/n)
Firstly, even though the current elected government in Iran is filled with these "liberal" traitors, they have lost most of their previous public support in that country. (2/n)
The two wars within past year have been the capping events for a long trend of these "liberals" being unable to deliver on their promises of neoliberal prosperity and normalization of relations with West. (3/n)
🚨 #ATENCIÓN | Las contradicciones de Rafael López Aliaga y Renovación Popular.
Los "motivos" usados para pedir la anulación de más de 100 mesas de votación también se presentan en otras mesas donde RLA ganó. Pero, en esos casos, sus personeros no solicitaron nulidad. 🧵
Primer caso. RLA pretende anular la mesa 011444 de Cajamarca solo porque un trazo de las firmas de los miembros de mesa están fuera del recuadro.
Sin embargo, en la mesa 032569 de Chiclayo donde ganó también se presenta trazos de las firmas de los miembros de mesa fuera de los recuadros, pero aquí los personeros de Renovación Popular no pidieron nulidad.
I thought it was impossible to generate a 23-minute TV episode in 4 days until I saw the workflow.
This crazy approach completely changes the way you create.
I broke down the entire process into 10 simple steps.

Phase 1: Pre-Production & Narrative
If you’re a fan of anime or Isekai, this series is for you. I spoke with 2 of the 5 directors for an hour and they said this project took the momentum from their previous work, Higgsfield Arena Zero and evolved it into a more complex narrative with higher stakes.
The Scripting and Treatment Phase
Before any generation began, the team spent about a time iterating on the script and developing a comprehensive director’s treatment.
Even though AI allows for "imaginary freedom" to change things on the fly, they started with a solid compound script that was split between four directors. This let them hit this crazy deadline by breaking the project into sections that each director handled individually.split among
1/ Russian soldiers are being sent to their deaths by the military police for infractions as trivial as not wearing a seatbelt. Many avoid doing so in order to jump out quickly if their vehicle is attacked by a drone, but they are finding that they face death either way. ⬇️
2/ The Military Police (VPs) are the target of widespread hatred from ordinary Russian soldiers for their corruption and zealous enforcement of arbitrary rules. They are also helping to meet the army replenish depleted assault units by sending arrested individuals to them.
3/ Russian warblogger Alexander Zhuchkovsky writes:
"In colloquial speech among soldiers, enemies are often referred to as "faggots" or "roosters." This is a simpler and more common derogatory term among soldiers than "khokhols."
The founder of the school was Baron Immanuel Jakobovits. He was the first Jewish member of the House of Lords and a close friend to Margaret Thatcher. He was Knighted in 1981 and was a chief Rabbi in Ireland and a Fifth Avenue Synagog in NY and served as Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth from 1967 to 1991. He was a firm adherent of “the German Torah”. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_…
Both Robert Maxwell and Rabbi Jakobovitz operated in London during the same period, with Jakobovits leading the Jewish religious community and Maxwell dominating the media and political landscape. This article by Jewish Action gives some interesting insights regarding Thatcher and Soviet Jews. jewishaction.com/jewish-world/p…
We all need to work together to remove the dangers in Hormuz in a way that helps protect freedom of navigation everywhere in the world. The decisions made now on Hormuz will shape what other troublemakers might think about causing problems – in other straits and on other fronts.
We must be as concrete and clear as possible so that we don't end up, six months from now, like in Gaza – where lots yet has to be done – security there is still largely fragile, reconstruction hasn’t really started, and many humanitarian problems remain unresolved. In Hormuz, there are security tasks that can’t be solved by political decisions only.
First, we need to define what actually depends on all of us in Hormuz and what depends on the U.S. It’s also important to involve the countries of the Middle East in a way that reflects their shared interests. Key principle is: after the war security must be stronger, not weaker.
"I think deuterium is the reason why you have cancer."
— Stephanie Seneff, MIT researcher.
Deuterium is a heavy form of hydrogen naturally present in water and food.
Your mitochondria are extremely sensitive to it — too much deuterium disrupts their ability to produce ATP and triggers excess reactive oxygen species.
When deuterium accumulates systemically, every cell in your body starts struggling.
Seneff's hypothesis:
A cell senses the overload and transforms itself into a cancer cell.
Not to harm you.
To help you.
Cancer cells abandon their normal function and obsess on one thing: duplicating themselves.
Their metabolism shifts entirely.
They suppress oxidative phosphorylation — the process by which mitochondria generate ATP using oxygen — repurposing them toward anabolic synthesis — to avoid the reactive oxygen species that high deuterium would generate.
Instead they run glycolysis.
Massive glucose intake.
The output: lactate — carrying a deuterium-depleted proton — shipped out into circulation.
Low-deuterium fuel delivered to the host.
The cancer cell also relocates its V-ATPase pumps — protein pumps embedded in the cell membrane — to the outer surface, pumping deuterium-depleted protons directly into the tumor microenvironment — while hoarding deuterium inside itself.
It is self-sacrificial.
Taking on the burden so the rest of the body doesn't have to.
Immune cells flood the tumor.
But they don't attack.
The cancer is nourishing them — lactate and deuterium-depleted protons — providing what their damaged mitochondria need to recover.
Seneff notes the same lactate and low pH environment also signals immune cells to stand down — suppressing activation and allowing the tumor to survive in the process.
Once the immune cells recover, they turn on the tumor and clear it.
When deuterium levels drop low enough — the cancer cell's job is done. It undergoes apoptosis.
Gabor Somlyai, Hungarian biochemist and cancer researcher showed that when cancer cells are placed in deuterium-depleted water, they stop multiplying and undergo apoptosis.
In high-deuterium water — they thrive.
He documented patients rejected by mainstream oncology — told to go home and die.
They began drinking deuterium-depleted water. Some lived far beyond predicted life expectancy. Some achieved complete recovery.
This also might explain why the ketogenic diet works against cancer.
Animal fats are the lowest deuterium macronutrient.
A ketogenic state naturally lowers systemic deuterium intake.
Combined with glucose restriction — cancer cells depend heavily on glucose to run glycolysis — both mechanisms rest on the same biology.
Thomas Seyfried, Professor of Biology at Boston College, reached the conclusion that cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease, not a genetic one.
Seneff goes one step further: deuterium overload is why the mitochondria malfunction in the first place.
According to her, cancer isn't a random malfunction.
It's a coordinated biological response to a systemic deuterium overload.
P.S. Want to understand how seasonality influences deuterium intake & mitochondrial energy production?
Day 4 of my free 5-day email course covers why seasonal eating matters for deuterium levels & energy production.
Gen. Petraeus: The US military performed brilliantly in the Gulf. But the real war of the 21st century is happening right now in Ukraine — a war of drones, constant innovation, and near-equal armies — WSJ. 1/
The Gulf was fought under permissive conditions. US and Israeli forces controlled the electromagnetic spectrum. Iran had limited ability to contest operations at scale.
Ukraine is different — drones get jammed, spoofed, destroyed and replaced within days. 2/
Ukraine produces millions of unmanned systems annually. Manufacturers predict seven million units this year. The US will not come anywhere close to that scale. 3/
I dropped a full year of bank statements into Claude Opus 4.7 and it sorted everything in 20 minutes.
Income, expenses, recurring subs, the whole picture.
That's easily $11k in accounting work done for the price of a coffee.
Here is the exact prompt I used:
You are acting as my senior forensic accountant and financial analyst. I am uploading 12 months of bank statements (checking, savings, and credit card). Your job is to transform this raw data into a complete, CPA-grade financial picture I could hand to a bookkeeper, lender, or tax preparer.
Work through the following in order, and do not skip steps:
1. Data extraction & integrity check
Parse every transaction across all statements: date, description, amount, account, running balance.
Flag any gaps in statement coverage, duplicate charges, or transactions that look like data-entry/OCR errors.
Reconcile beginning and ending balances for each account, each month.
I just spoke to the President on the phone. He said Iran has agreed to an “unlimited” suspension of its nuclear program and that the US is not going to release any frozen Iranian funds.
“No years, unlimited,” the President said when I asked whether Iran had agreed to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely or whether it was a 20-year suspension.
The President told me he had not decided whether he wanted Vance to lead the next round of in-person Iran talks.
“I haven’t made that determination yet. It’ll be a group. JD might be one of them, with Steve and Jared. We have a good team. JD’s good."
Ukraine has 900,000 active soldiers. Drones kill and robots advance.
But the most valuable asset on the battlefield is still a human being who is willing to fight, writes Luke McGee in Foreign Policy. 1/
When people saw what unmanned vehicles could achieve, some suggested wars could be fought without personnel. It is a nice idea.
But to hold territory and operate UAVs and ground robots, you need people physically there. 2/
The problem is motivation in practice.
Pavlo Zaichenko, 59th Brigade: “When there is no clear understanding of where one will serve, how the service will look, and how long it will last, this becomes a significant barrier for potential volunteers.” 3/
Chronic inflammation is involved in the occurrence of a variety of conditions, such as:
-Gut issues
-Depression
-Chronic fatigue
-Rheumatoid arthritis
-Skin issues
-Hair loss
-Heart disease
-Hormonal issues
and much more.
So here's what inflammation is, how it's created, why, the things that actually lead to chronic inflammation and so on.
Thread🧵
*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*
While inflammation is essential for survival and one of the most fundamental processes in the human body, it can also become harmful when excessive, prolonged or misdirected, leading to tissue damage, fibrosis, chronic disease and so on.
That’s why if you have a chronic health issue that you are trying to resolve, it’s very unlikely that you haven’t stumbled across terms such as “anti-inflammatories”, “inflammation cascade” and so on.
But what is inflammation exactly?
At its core, as you will find in most of its definitions, inflammation is the body’s protective response to injury or infection in vascularized living tissue.
So it occurs only in tissues with blood vessels and involves both vascular and cellular components.
It is broadly divided into acute and chronic forms.
Acute inflammation is dominated by neutrophils, begins within minutes to hours and lasts hours to days.
Examples include bacterial pneumonia, appendicitis or a simple cutaneous infection.
Chronic inflammation, in contrast, develops slowly and persists for weeks, months or years.
Rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and atherosclerosis are some of the classic examples.
@le_Parisien Avant (ou pour nous, sale populace"), le jour-amende était (est) comme le bracelet électronique, un "aménagement" de peine : au lieu de faire des TIG, tu paies une amende ; au lieu d'aller en taule, tu restes à la maison avec un bracelet.
@le_Parisien Très sympa comme privilège réservé à certains !
Un clochard vole un pomme, il fera 6 mois en taule.
Un crétin pique un capuchon de boule de caravane (-10€), il se prend 3500€ d'amende & 6 mois de sursis.
Il prend donc plus que ce tocard Karl Olive. 2/3
@le_Parisien Jour-amende (vs TIG), bracelet électronique (vs Prison) sont des "aménagements" de peine… Maintenant cette #EntreSoi est condamné directement avec "aménagement de peine" ; les médias FR banalisent donc cela (par solidarité de "réseau").
🧵 My tips for getting the best results out of Claude Design! I’m on the verticals team at Anthropic which means I serve 7 different products. Claude Design makes it possible! 1. Set up your design system and your core screens. An hour of setup and refinement here is worth it
2. Iterate with your engineers live
I’m usually able to design new features with an engineer in a single meeting. Because Claude is super fast at mockups, we can stay high level in our conversation, riffing on concepts and constraints and watching them come to life.
3. Use the Comment tool to make rapid fire surgical edits
After a rough first draft, there might be dozens of details you want to tweak. It’s tricky to describe all the changes you want verbally - so don’t! Point and crit.
