Allah accepts your repentance when you read this dua
This is a powerful dua for anyone longing to return to Allah.
It can be read when you feel:
• burdened by sins
• distant from Allah
• filled with regret
• in need of forgiveness
• seeking a fresh start

🚨Can buildings become #CDR machines?
New review argues that integrating Direct Air Capture into buildings could improve indoor air quality, reduce HVAC energy use by 20-60% & cut capture costs to ~$200/tCO₂, transforming buildings from energy users into distributed C sinks🧵1/12
New review argues that integrating Direct Air Capture into buildings could improve indoor air quality, reduce HVAC energy use by 20-60% & cut capture costs to ~$200/tCO₂, transforming buildings from energy users into distributed C sinks🧵1/12
2/Buildings generate ~37% of global CO₂ emissions, while HVAC systems consume ~40% of building energy.
Most of this stems from ventilation needed to maintain indoor air quality.
Building-integrated DAC enables CDR while greatly reducing the need for energy-intensive fresh air.

3/Unlike outdoor DAC, indoor environments typically contain 1,000–2,000 ppm CO₂, 2.5–5× atmospheric levels.
That higher concentration boosts capture performance, increasing adsorption capacity by around 10-20%, while improving separation efficiency and reducing energy penalties

New paper:
LLMs should give accurate answers. Yet we find their answers are often biased to favor their own values and they don’t disclose this in their reasoning.
E.g. Claude’s answer below favors Anthropic.
On other tasks, Gemini & GPT-5.5 show similar biases.

E.g. Claude’s answer below favors Anthropic.
On other tasks, Gemini & GPT-5.5 show similar biases.
Across a set of carefully controlled tests, Claude shows subtle biases to Anthropic.
E.g. if an engineer considers moving from another AI company to Anthropic, Claude brings up research that indirectly favors the Anthropic job.

Another task:
The user asks for an accurate estimate of a quantity. In the bottom prompt this is used to decide if a donation goes to a good cause.
Claude, GPT-5.5 and Gemini shift their estimates to favor the donation.

Ok enough panic on $NFLX engagement...here is my review of Q2...link in bio. +13% revenue on +2% viewing hours means they are getting MORE revenue per hour...+2% viewing YoY is normal, and actually good vs. the OLYMPICS and WORLD CUP. Oh and ROE is +40% with expanding margins (1/x) 🧵
everybody wants to complain, but unless you CANCEL your $NFLX sub, it doesn't matter, full stop. Netflix has the lowest churn by FAR in the entire media industry, around ~2%, and that hasn't changed. Plus >50% viewing is outside the U.S. so you can't even judge $NFLX GLOBAL footprint from your couch...(2/x)🧵
for the Netflix numbers, +13% revenue YoY is not a dying business, let's be for real, lol. If $NFLX is failing, then $PSKY, $DIS and a lot of companies are huge shorts. EBIT margins best-in-class, still ~34% and going up. FCF "miss" due to tax payment on breakup fee (3/x)
Good morning everyone! This is post 48 in my series on Kansas history. Today’s story is on the Territorial capitals of Kansas, yes there were more than one. Enjoy! (A thread🧵)
Following the creation of the Kansas Territory in 1854, and especially following the election of the new territorial legislature in March of 1855, the need arose for a capital city and capital building for the government to meet at. In April of 1855 Territorial Governor Andrew Reeder called for the legislature to meet at the town of Pawnee near present day Junction City and Fort Riley. The construction of a two story stone building was ordered and was hastily built at the site (and the floorboards were not even nailed down by the start of the session on July 2nd). One issue with the location of Pawnee is that it is over 100 miles from Missouri, where the majority of the “bogus legislature” was from and so after only 3 days of meeting at the building they passed a bill to move the capitol to Shawnee Mission in the Kansas City area overriding Governor Reeder’s veto. They departed from the site on July 6th for Kansas City.
The first Territorial capitol is the last surviving building in the ghost town of Pawnee and is a small museum operated by the Kansas Historical Society at Fort Riley. It is absolutely worth a visit to see this part of territorial history if you are ever in this part of Kansas!
THREADETTE: One HUGE issue I have still not seen investigated or explained re FBI's 2020 election interference concerns this from the Twitter files @mtaibbi released: 1/
2/ Why is that key? Because the Baltimore Field Office was doing the Hunter Biden investigation and knew about the laptop and that it was real. So who were the agents flagging things for X? Were they about Hunter Biden? That should be easy to fine out!!
3/ And were they part of the investigative team? Who told them to do the keyword searches? Who knew? More here: thefederalist.com/2022/12/27/fbi…
How many times have you heard someone say: “I got the flu shot, and I still got the flu anyway”?
Bill Maher says he once got the flu shot and “immediately” came down with the flu.
Lara Trump’s mother had an even worse experience. As a nurse, she got the flu shot every year—and “every time [she’d] ever gotten it, [she’d] get the flu immediately after it.”
Now, she doesn’t get it anymore.
Why do so many people get sick after the flu shot?
This thread explores why that happens—and what really happens inside the body right after a vaccine. 🧵

For decades, vaccines have been marketed as “safe and effective.”
No questions. Nothing else to consider. Safe and effective. Full stop.
But a mountain of buried medical research and endless reports from the vaccine-injured show a very different pattern—one that has repeated for more than a century.
In disease after disease, across multiple countries and multiple eras, vaccines have a weird habit of triggering or worsening the very illnesses they are supposed to be preventing.
Strange.
This occurrence isn’t fringe. It’s documented, replicated, and historically well known.
But millions of people—doctors, teachers, parents, friends—pretend it isn’t.
And even when they do offer a protective effect for some disease, they can leave your immune system weakened and vulnerable to other infections that can end up killing you. Just look at what happened in Guinea-Bissau.

Thanks to @BlogBroadstreet for publishing my essay on the @CUP_PoliSci book I wrote with Clair Yang! The book title is: "The Political Economy of China's Imperial Examination System"
How China Sleepwalked into Meritocratic Absolutism

How China Sleepwalked into Meritocratic Absolutism
Essay 🧵belowbroadstreet.blog/p/how-china-sl…
@BlogBroadstreet @CUP_PoliSci Core claim: China's Imperial Examination System (hereafter "Keju") increased ruler power and social mobility, but grew gradually from ad hoc reforms whose consequences no one anticipated.
@BlogBroadstreet @CUP_PoliSci Keju began to matter much earlier than many narratives imply. By the late 7th century (still the first half of the TANG dynasty), Keju credential was already associated with career premium, while the aristocratic premium in officeholding had been in decline.
🚨 NEWLY DECLASSIFIED by Trump Administration Last night: What did U.S. intelligence learn about Chinese election influence operations during the 2020 election?
Newly released intelligence documents reveal years of cyber operations, voter data collection, influence campaigns, and a remarkable internal debate inside the U.S. Intelligence Community over how to assess Beijing's activities.
A thread. 🧵👇

The documents describe how PRC cyber actors reportedly amassed enormous datasets on U.S. voters through multiple channels, including:
• Public voter registration databases
• Commercial data brokers
• Government election information
• Social media data collection
According to the documents, Chinese actors also possessed leaked databases containing more than 200 million U.S. voter records, along with numerous other compromised datasets.

The reports identify APT31, a Chinese state-sponsored cyber group, as conducting reconnaissance against U.S. presidential campaign personnel.
One notable tactic:
📧 Hidden tracking links embedded inside emails could confirm that an account was active simply by opening the email, allowing attackers to gather system information before attempting additional compromise.
Google and the FBI reportedly detected these attempts before they succeeded.
