"Work and pensions secretary Pat McFadden says more must be done to lift people out of hardship and help people into work"

I want to illustrate, the complete lack of joined up thinking, not just by the UK's governments, but all governments in the Western world.

1/🧵theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
The Starmer government, like previous governments, claim that the way to lift people out of poverty, is to force them into paid work. Except:

"AI ‘apocalypse’ could take away almost 8m jobs in UK, says report"

2/theguardian.com/technology/202…
According to Bill Gates, AI can replace most human jobs.

I expect, what will actually happen, is largely unknown. But huge investment in AI is being made, with the intention of it replacing lots of jobs, in a cost effective way i.e. very profitable for big business.

1. Medicines produce effects
Patient leaflets list some effects as beneficial effects & some as side effects

E.g. semiglutude was originally developed to amplify the insulin response in diabetics

Originally, listed as a side effect is that it makes you feel …
2. … full more quickly when eating, & so you tend to less, & you may lose weight

Now semiglutude is listed as having the beneficial effect of losing weight, & a side effect can be ‘low blood sugars’ as it improves your insulin production but you are not diabetic …
3. … Similarly Oestrogen is listed as relieving menopausal symptoms, vaginal atrophy, prevention of osteoporosis.

Th side effects if taken by male bodied people are described as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced ejaculation, body fat redistribution, softer …

Just putting this into context. @DrCatharineY was originally DOD then published on a DARPA grant. One of her few co-authors is Stephanie Petzing of the "Center for Global Health Engagement"

All one big OneHealth family to nudge you into believing this @epiphare slop is real.
For the explanation as to why these "real world data" with "data not available" publications are absolutely junk and shouldn't be accepted to any major journal please see
arkmedic.info/p/pharma-hell-…
Dr Young (DARPA/DOD) is clearly now working as an ambassador to cover for the actions of the corrupt Biden regime who we are learning covered up huge amounts of adverse events from their COVID program whilst funding pharma in the "cancer moonshot"

Carvana was added to the S&P 500 today.

From $3.50 → $440 in 3 years.
A 125-bagger… right in front of everyone’s eyes.
What’s wild is that 3 years ago today every “smart money” anon hedge fund bro was calling the Carvana team:
• criminals
• frauds
• bankrupt
• “uninvestable”

They weren’t analyzing a business.
They were performing for each other.
Meanwhile… the actual founders were doing the opposite of Twitter cynicism:
They believed,
they doubled down,
they executed,
they rebuilt the machine from the inside out.

Conviction >>> consensus.
Congrats Ernie Jr & @DanGill & team

MEN'S FAVORITE POSITIONS – DATA SPILL

Despite the small sample, my sexual-positions survey is the most precise ever run, and it reveals some interesting new information. In this thread I'm going to spill the provisional results in the hope more people will decide to participate. Image
To interpret the results, refer to the position chart available at the link below. It's pretty much just stick figures, but Twitter's sensitive-image filter doesn't like it, so I can't post it in the thread.

Yes, you should submit your favorites before you read the thread. You can use an anon junk/spam email if you're shy.

The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/2)
That this SCOTUS used it to justify striking affirmative action bc it discriminated against WHITE people and now thinks their might be a colorable argument about the birthright part shows only that they are confused about whether the good team won the Civil War. (2/2)
I'd also note they already invalidated Section 3 that says that you can't hold federal office if you engaged in insurrection against the United States. These are not judges impartially applying the law. They are racist despots who despise American progress. (3/2)

Who discovered Australia? That's easy: the first Melanesian migrants over 60,000 years ago who made it across Wallacea (by island-hopping!) to Sahul, the super-continent which comprised Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania. 1/5 Image
Image
Image
Who was the first European to land on the Australian continent? Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon in 1606, 164 years before Cook. Dirk Hartog and numerous other Dutch explorers followed, but the Dutch lost interest and focused on Indonesia and the lucrative spice trade. 2/5 Image
Image
Image
Cook’s famed visit to Botany Bay in April of 1770 did change everything. The British would soon raise their flag at Sydney Cove on January 26, 1788 (known today as Australia Day - or Invasion Day) and before too long half of ‘New Holland’ was ‘New South Wales’. 3/5 Image

🧵 The new National Security Strategy of the US is more pro-Europe than many Europeans are.

Page 5: "We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity" Image
2) The US supports European countries keeping their national identities. Page 12:

"We will oppose elite-driven, anti-democratic restrictions on core liberties in Europe, the Anglosphere, and the rest of the democratic world, especially among our allies.: Image
3) The US opposes "disastrous ... ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the United States, and subsidize our adversaries." (page 14) Image

How is U.S. military killing these 11 people keeping drugs (fentanyl) out of the United States?

DOD knew the drugs (cocaine) were headed to Suriname.

Yes, that's the OTHER DIRECTION.

Read what Bradley-Caine told lawmakers:

Scoop by @NatashaBertrand

🧵 1/ Image
2/ Problems for Bradley's credibility.

On left:

Bradley argued to lawmakers "still a possibility" drugs could've made way to US.

On right:

Trump State Dept: "Suriname is a transit country for South American cocaine, the majority of which is likely destined for Europe." Image
Image
3/ And, yes, the administration's attempted constitutional and other legal claims unravel if boats are delivering drugs (let alone, cocaine not fentanyl) to Europe instead.

Core policy claims as well.

1/ Russians who were mobilised in 2022-23 and have survived to the present day may not live much longer, as they are reportedly being formed into assault squads, where they will likely be sent to their deaths. This is forecast to lead to a bribery bonanza for commanders. ⬇️ Image
2/ The 'Vault 8' Telegram channel reports:

"Bad news is coming from two directions—the "North" group and Zaporizhzhia."
3/ "There, the threat of "[sign a] contract or [go to an] assault" for mobilised soldiers has shifted to shady tactics: removing mobilised soldiers from the unit's roster and preparing them for transfer.

Oil forecasts for 2025 have a wide range of outcomes, from balanced to a surplus of 4mbpd (IEA). Which one is it?

I’ve counted too many barrels over the years to engage in the debate. The oil market is dynamic while forecasts are static by nature.

But…

1/n
…we know that…

1) oil on water (includes floating storage) and oil in transit well surpassed Covid levels.

Part of it reflects inefficiency of the sanctioned Russian & Iranian oil trade as well as the recent US sanctions on Rosneft & Lukoil.

Part of it is an outright bearish oil market = too many barrels chasing too few buyers -> needs lower prices.

2/n: Oil in transitImage
2) Weak Chinese petroleum product consumption:

China is in recession due to its property bust and despite the CCPs desire to steer clear of it by forcing every other industry to build what isn’t required domestically (overcapacity issue) and then dump goods onto global trade.

Because of the latter most observers still don’t get the painful economic status China is in. But China is in it.

Also, the CCP prefers coal fuelled transportation as well as LNG truck driving for the purpose of geopolitics.

Both requires less, not more, diesel and gasoline in 2026 vs 2025. Jet and Naphtha are different story but won’t drive oil buying by refineries => Oil demand by 2nd largest economy globally is bearish. Accept.

However, the CCP may take the absurd to the next level in 2026 and force refineries to build even more floating-roof oil tank storage (as part of meeting an artificial Soviet 2.0 plan within its Investment-led Growth Model) in which case refineries may buy more oil next year, but not for the purpose of producing more petroleum products but solely for storages. If they do so, however, their crude oil buying will be EXTREMELY price sensitive.

Time and State companies oil quotas will tell.

PS: If u care to understand China’s property bust structurally, here is a link to my 7 part Stack series. It remains as valid then as now.
