🧵United States v. Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc.

NEW SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT

Same charges as in the original indictment:

6 Counts of Wire Fraud
4 Counts of False Statements Bank
1 Count of Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering
Forfeiture

Adds new info to strengthen those charges.Image
Recall that the theory of this case is that the SPLC solicited donations and told donors that their contributions would be used to "dismantle" violent extremist groups.

But, unbeknownst to those donors, some of the money (millions) went to funding individuals in those groups who then used the money to promote the groups' activities and message.
The SPLC for decades ran a paid informant network that at times took direction from leadership at the SPLC.

This created a circumstance (or setup) where the SPLC, who according to their own website, literature, public-facing resources, and messaging, was working to "take down" these violent extremist groups, was instead directing and paying those same violent extremists to do violent and extreme things.

I am fluent in the transition itself, which is rarer and more valuable. This is why there is such an affinity towards trans people for these high level programming roles. You need to know the transition and if you're afraid of transition, then these harder systems are off limits.
C++ ───┬─── Go
└─── Rust
But that also means that we shouldn't be programmed by demons and freaks who like to be evil to the innocent and engineer a society that is predatory and unsafe.

Go is for the higher level human to human involvement in the engineering process.

Rust is for the raw performance.

The Financial Times calls Dr. Bessel van der Kolk "the most influential psychiatrist of the 21st century."

He wrote 'The Body Keeps the Score' after 40 years treating trauma.

His core thesis cracked the chronic-stress equation:

8 truths the talk-therapy industry hides:

1) Trauma lives in the body — not just memory.
Dr. van der Kolk: "The body keeps the score. Long after the event ends, the tissue remembers."

Chronic stress is trauma in slow motion.

The body doesn't distinguish "big T" trauma from years of dysregulation.

Truth #2...
2) Talk therapy alone can't reach it.

Dr. van der Kolk: "Insight doesn't change a frozen body."

You can understand the trauma. Articulate every detail. Cry about it for 20 years.

And the nervous system still fires the same alarm — because language doesn't reach the part that holds it.

This story on US LNG exports to #Morocco #Maroc is typical of @MoroccoWNews manipulative framing and distortion:

1/7

moroccoworldnews.com/2026/05/310730…
It is true that the US Department of Energy approved the export of US LNG to Morocco as an FTA country.

That is true.

But there is a lot more to the story. (Or rather, a lot less.)

2/7
The DOE order includes ALL countries with which the US has FTAs: Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jordan, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Oman, Panama, Peru, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Israel and Costa Rica.

This is Clint Ober.

He spent 30 years grounding electrical systems in the cable industry.

Then he asked one question medicine never asked:

What happens when the human body is no longer connected to earth?

The answer is 40+ studies & a mechanism behind chronic inflammation: 🧵 Image
Image
1/ Before 1960, humans were grounded most of the time.

People wore leather-soled shoes, which absorbed moisture & body salts — making them electrically semi-conductive.

In rain, people often removed their shoes to keep them dry.

Kids spent hours barefoot outside.

Then came mass-produced plastic soles. Synthetic carpeting. Television, that led to more indoor living.

In 60 years, 95% of shoes sold became fully insulating rubber or synthetic soles.

Humans spent millions of years electrically connected to the earth.

Then within a few decades, we disconnected completely.
2/ Every electrical system is grounded except the human body.

Ober spent 30 years installing grounding rods in the cable industry.

Everything electrical had to be grounded to prevent static buildup, interference, and fires.

Then one day in Sedona, watching tourists walk by in rubber-soled shoes, he realized:

Humans are electrical systems too.

Brain activity, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, immune function — everything depends on electrical gradients and electron movement.

The human body is electrical first, chemical second.

In 1960, most doctor visits were for infections, acute injuries, and childbirth.

Today, most are for inflammation-related health disorders.

Complete inversion in 60 years.

This is a confusing letter @sianberry.

I have some questions:

1. You’re asking for legislative action in response to a non-legislative Code. Assuming it’s the Equality Act you want to change, does it follow that you accept that the Code accurately reflects the Act as it is?
2. If you accept the Code is legally accurate, why do you say it’s “not fit for purpose”? What would you have had the @EHRC do other than produce an accurate Code? Should they have made it up?
@EHRC 3. What do mean by this bit? The Code follows the Equality Act and the judgment of the Supreme Court. Are you accusing the Supreme Court of improper motivations or credulity? Image

Today we're shipping Nemotron 3 Ultra.

A 550B MoE frontier-intelligence open model built for long-running agents.

It delivers 5x faster inference and lowers the cost of complex agentic tasks by up to 30% versus other open frontier models.
Ultra excels at complex tasks like coding and deep research.

Long-running agents spend their time planning, using tools, recovering from failures, and deciding what to do next.

The model’s hybrid Mamba-Transformer MoE architecture enables more reasoning cycles within the same time budget, allowing the agent to accomplish more in less time.Image
Nemotron 3 Ultra delivers leading accuracy for agentic tasks, including agent productivity, coding, and long horizon planning. Image

You are taking magnesium. It may be the wrong form for your symptoms.

The form determines bioavailability, tissue destination, and clinical effect. Magnesium oxide is what most drugstores stock. It's also the least useful form for Long COVID symptoms.
2/8 Magnesium oxide has poor bioavailability.

Most of it reaches the colon, draws water in, and produces a laxative effect.

If you're taking oxide for sleep, fatigue, or brain fog, it isn't delivering meaningful amounts to the tissues where those symptoms originate.
3/8 Magnesium glycinate binds magnesium to glycine, an inhibitory amino acid.

Glycine supports calming neurotransmitter activity. If your target is sleep disruption, racing thoughts at bedtime, or nighttime sympathetic surges, glycinate is the form to ask about.

Anyone who survived more than 10 minutes at Bridgewater was excellent at taking feedback. It was daily. It was public. It was all recorded in a system. It overwhelmed a lot of talented people. Here's the system I used to make the most of 11,358 pieces of feedback:
Step 1 - Welcome it.

Your first job is to make it safe to tell you the truth. If you deflect, argue, or explain, you teach people to stop.

The most dangerous place to lead from is a spot where nobody is willing to tell you the truth.
Step 2 - Get over yourself.

Separate the signal from the delivery. They might be emotional, badly timed, even partly wrong. Doesn't matter. Even if it's not your intention, you can't argue with how they experience you.

Mine the data. Forgive the packaging. Find the signal.

Everyone thinks gray hair is the result of genetics and aging.
It's not.

It's your body breaking down its own tissues to survive stress.

Here's the real culprit (and how to reverse it): 🧵
Aging and genetics play a role in gray hair.

But lifestyle factors can significantly affect how early gray hair appears.

This is where epigenetics comes in.
Your habits influence how your genes express themselves.
There are two primary contributors to premature graying:

1/ Decreased melanin production
2/ Increased oxidative stress within the hair follicle

Let’s examine each one…
