Russia doesn’t want peace. Russia wants to conquer Ukraine by force.
Russian pundits make this clear with their violent rhetoric.

EXCLUSIVE: We uncovered a secret corporate scheme to raise grocery prices.
We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
The scary part? It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @ConsumerReports and @GroundworkProj found it could cost families $1200/year.

Our months-long investigation with @ConsumerReports and @GroundworkProj found it could cost families $1200/year.
We investigated Instacart grocery prices in 4 different states.
Nearly three-quarters of the grocery items we tested showed different prices to different shoppers.
Some items had up to five different price points simultaneously.

Some items had up to five different price points simultaneously.
For example:
People shopping at a Safeway in Washington, D.C. saw a dozen Lucerne eggs listed at five different prices.
Some customers paid as little as $3.99, while others paid up to $4.79 — for the same product.

Everyone is sleeping on the most important executive hire in mortgage tech this decade:
Leah Price at Better ($BETR ).
The Street has no idea who she is —
and that’s exactly why this will become one of the biggest “obvious in hindsight” moments of the next S-curve.
Here’s the real story

Here’s the real story
Leah isn’t just another VP.
She brings a regulator’s brain, a technologist’s toolkit, and a lender’s experience.
That combination barely exists in the United States.
She was leading AI innovation for the FHFA — the regulator that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
That alone is a huge deal.

That alone is a huge deal.
Most people don’t understand what that means.
She knows:
• how the housing system works at the deepest level
• how regulators think about AI
• what underwriting models need to show
• where legacy mortgage tech is broken
• how policy interacts with automation
• which tools lenders fear — and which they’ll adopt
This is a rare skill stack.

December 9 marks the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of Genocide.
In Ukraine, this day is not only about remembering past atrocities — it also draws attention to the ongoing crimes committed by russia: the abduction of children, the torture and killing of civilians, and many more.
As the United Nations emphasizes, genocide is defined in part by the fact that “the victims of genocide are deliberately targeted — not randomly.”
With this in mind, we present the documented actions of the russian federation🧵

China’s SGE/SHFE daily report for Dec 9, 2025 looks… strange.
• Silver ≈ $59.8/oz
• SHFE silver vaults: 717,788 kg
• Daily change: +18,497 kg
• SGE weekly silver vaults (Dec 1–5): N/A 🤔
Vaults “up”, data “missing”. That combo matters.

Let’s translate that vault jump:
18,497 kg = 18.5 tons = ~594,000 oz.
Big on paper.
Tiny for China’s industrial machine.
You can move that much metal with a handful of trucks.
So where did it really come from?

Spoiler:
It’s almost certainly not new supply.
❌ Not from miners — new mine output takes 3–6 months to reach a vault.
❌ Not from imports — no RMB price reaction, no premium shift, no matching signals.
Meaning:
This is reclassification, not “fresh silver”.

What does a trade war look like?
Much of what you've heard about tariffs is prob soundbites from politicians & economists.
But what does a trade war actually FEEL like at ground level?
We've spent the past year working on a film on just that.
Here's some highlights

It may look like a lump of metal but don't be fooled.
This is a die: a sort of mould used to shape plastics. Looks simple but it's super-engineered - designed to withstand enormous pressure.
Without dies like this there's no manufacturing...

Dies and moulds are the unsung champions in modern mass production.
One of the single most impressive things about Tesla's manufacturing processes is what @elonmusk calls the Gigapress: a massive machine that shapes metal. And at the heart of the gigapress are enormous dies.

...DHSC is quoted as saying that "the claims that MEAG were told by the chief medical officer not to put their recommendations in writing are categorically untrue." However, the Government's own official documentation contradicts that statement. Read on.
The 'not in writing' point was first flagged in our 2023 book, The Accountability Deficit, following our review of the official meeting records of MEAG which had been published by DHSC. The relevant meeting record is dated 20 January 2021.

1/ They taught us the British ended Sati. Saved us from our barbarism. 🕊️
Then why did Sati cases spike from 1 in 8 years to 5000 per year under British rule?
Why did cases DROP under Mughal emperors?
Let's talk about the history they never taught you. 🧵

2/ From 1900 BCE to 1900 CE—2,500 years—historians found fewer than 500 verified Sati incidents.
That's one every 8 years. Rare. Tragic. But rare.
Between 1813-1829, just 16 years under British rule, they documented THOUSANDS.
What changed?

3/ In 1813, British administrators LEGALIZED Sati.
They created two categories:
"Legal" Sati (voluntary)
"Illegal" Sati (forced)
By defining legal Sati, they gave official sanction. Approval.
Court of Directors later admitted Indians saw this as a RECOMMENDATION. 💰
