On March 13, 2022, Russian soldiers shot and killed photojournalist Max Levin.
He had driven through Moshchun — a village under intense fighting — to find a drone with valuable footage he had lost the day before. He was 40 years old. 4 years have passed since that day. 1/

A letter to the Iranian diaspora.
Some longform thoughts soon hopefully on why diaspora Pahlavism is simply an advanced version of the ‘hyperpolitics’ that is becoming increasingly common.
Being an HS teacher for any real length of time will radicalize you on public order at least *somewhat*, it is unavoidable that these two lessons are learned by Year Three (the third year is when you know if you're cut out for this job or not, most quit Year 3-5)
Another lesson is that bad kids make those around them worse, even those that would not normally behave
Which is why Out-of-School suspension works! It isn't about 'rehabilitating' the offender. It is about removing him to protect the other kids and allow them to learn.

Once again: punishment by the state, whether criminal or in the context of public school discipline, is primarily about incapacitating the offender from committing further crimes/infractions for a set period
@alwaysadblock Again ask any high school teacher.
(1) 90% of problems are caused by 2% of the students
(2) some kids are just bad eggs, it happens

@alwaysadblock And (2) is not necessarily due to some sort of trauma. I've taught in mostly middle income to outright affluent high schools. Yes, I've run into some that come from very comfortable backgrounds with dedicated parents...and are still complete assholes.
@alwaysadblock I mean FFS not even a couple months I go I read about a former student of mine from suburban RVA getting arrested for boosting home appliances from home construction sites and selling them to chop shops for parts
Did I mention he's the son of a VA Supreme Court Justice?

A Working Flank is often thought of as a synergistic state: a situation where dog and handler become one and move together.
A student of mine, a fine handler, has a "good" Working Flank. I could see it was shaky, but less experienced instructors would see it as fine; less ...

experienced handlers would "feel it as fine". (Your tennis coaches from your book).
Within the Working Flank there are additional entailments that are not visible or measurable, namely Initiative and Initiative Transfer.
A frequent problem with Attractors is entailment poverty.

In the past, and for years now, I've made a concerted effort to share names and faces of those killed in mass shootings, historic and deadly weather disasters, public health crises, terrorist attacks and wars. /1
It was after Hurricane Katrina that it really clicked -- the importance of humanizing the lives lost and better understanding the circumstances. What could have been done to prevent such a tragic loss of lives? What can we learn from this so more lives are not lost in vain? /2
Would red flag laws have been helpful? (The answer to that question is often YES, btw.) Was there enough warning? Were proper resources utilized when a threat was identified? Was care taken to mitigate losses? Were response structures adequate? /3
With Hungarian "Eternal Supreme Leader" Viktor Orban desperate to make the upcoming election about Ukraine, I find it only fair to review his achievements as "Hungarian Prime Minister for Life" by comparing Hungary to his second favorite neighbor after Ukraine: Romania.🧵
Despite having about half of Romania's population, in 2003, shortly after Orban's first term, Hungary had a GDP of $85 bil. while Romania's stood at $57 bil.
Today, after too many Orban years to count, Hungary's GDP is about $220 billion, while Romania's surpassed $400 bil.
Today, after too many Orban years to count, Hungary's GDP is about $220 billion, while Romania's surpassed $400 bil.
In 2010, just as Orban started his second reign, the country stood as the 53rd least corrupt country in the world, while Romania was ranked as 75th.
In 2025, too many years of Orban to count, Hungary succeeded in being ranked as significantly more corrupt than Romania.

I don't understand why people aren't using Claude to create a month of content in 40 minutes. The snowball method transforms One topic into 40 posts in 20 minutes. Here are the commands:
PROMPT #1: THE CORE
You’re a content strategist.
Before answering, ask me clarifying questions about:
— goal
— target audience
— pain points
— constraints
— tone
— platforms
Based on my answers, define one core problem in my niche that people are actually willing to discuss and share.
Deliver:
• why this problem matters (2–3 sharp sentences)
• 30-day content goals (what we measure: saves/leads)
• an ICP table (who / what they want / what blocks them / language/ triggers / taboos)
Be specific

PROMPT #2: ANGLES & HEADLINES (break it open)
Take the core problem and propose 7 unexpected angles
(counterintuitive, “you’re doing it wrong,” myth vs reality, hidden cost of the usual solution).
For each angle provide:
• 2 hooks (≤ 12 words) for Threads/Reels
• 1 core insight (≤ 80 words)
• 1 number/fact for credibility (brief source mention)
• 1 potentially controversial statement (to spark comments)
Make sure the angles don’t overlap.

45% of humans are infected with parasites.
They can be the reason why you have acne, a bloated body and face, alongside 30+ other symptoms.
Here are 5 types of parasites that can live inside your body right now (+ my full cleansing protocol):

1. Roundworms are more common than you think.
You can pick them up through contact with contaminated soil (often from animal feces).
Their microscopic eggs can also contaminate food or water and enter your body when ingested.
In some cases, the larvae can enter through your skin and travel through the body before reaching the intestines:

2. Hookworms infect between 576–740 million people worldwide.
They attach to the walls of your intestines using tiny hook-like mouthparts.
Once attached, they feed on your blood and nutrients – which can drain your energy over time.
You can become infected simply by walking barefoot on contaminated soil, where the larvae can enter through the skin.

Today is Mother’s Day in the UK.
But it has nothing to do with American Mother’s Day.
The original name? Mothering Sunday. And the food that defined it for 400 years is a cake with one apostle deliberately missing.

The original name? Mothering Sunday. And the food that defined it for 400 years is a cake with one apostle deliberately missing.
In 17th-century England, servants and apprentices got ONE day off per year — to walk home and visit their “mother church” where they’d been baptised.
Over time, they started visiting their actual mothers too. They brought wages saved up all year — and a cake made of the only rich ingredients available mid-Lent.
Over time, they started visiting their actual mothers too. They brought wages saved up all year — and a cake made of the only rich ingredients available mid-Lent.
That cake was the Simnel Cake — a dense fruit cake layered with marzipan.
But here’s the thing: during Lent, butter and cream were forbidden and couldn’t be stored. Simnel cake was genius because it needed neither. Dried fruit, flour, eggs, spices — all shelf-stable. A high-calorie lifeline when spring food stocks were at their lowest.

Ayy so I was reading my Bible — John 21,
and this moment happens after the resurrection.
Peter’s already seen Jesus alive…
but something still feels off.
Because the last time Peter and Jesus spoke —
Peter denied Him. Three times.
So Peter does what people do when they don’t know how to face failure.

He goes back to what’s familiar.
“I’m going fishing.”
Not random.
This is the life he had before the calling.
Before the miracles.
Before walking on water.
The others follow him.
They fish all night.
Nothing.
Morning comes — there’s a man on the shore.

Morning comes — there’s a man on the shore.
“Throw the net on the other side.”
They do.
Instantly — nets full.
And Peter knows.
Not because of the fish.
Because it’s happened before.
Same miracle.
Same voice.
He doesn’t wait for the boat — jumps straight into the water and swims to Jesus.
Now here’s the detail most people rush past:
