A dysregulated vagus nerve keeps your body stuck in chronic stress.

Insomnia, brain fog, weight gain, and anxiety.

Here are the 7 ways I trust most to reset it naturally
(and get your energy back):

1. 1-3 minute cold plunges Image
Image
1. Cold exposure

Cold can help shift your body out of stress mode fast.

How to do it:
• start with 30 seconds
• build to 2–3 minutes
• use slow, longer exhales
2. Breathwork

Breathwork is one of the fastest ways to calm a nervous system stuck in stress.

The most important rule:
make your exhales longer than your inhales.

Try:

• 4-7-8 breathing
• alternate nostril breathing
• slow belly breathing for 2–5 minutes

Brother @jasonanavitarte your competition for Senate designed this? Do you have any comments? I am doing a story on him + you and the district 31 race? Can you tell us why voters should trust you to secure Georgia elections? His HBAR based systems can also lead to free med care.
#GaPol are you following the race? @ATLNewsFirst

Start here. Jason Anavitarte is in a primary race against the leader of the Save Hiram campaign. He is a 15 year military veteran with 100+ nuclear submarine missions. He sees votes as similar to nuclear missiles and believe
senate leaders and the next governor will benefit by him replacing @jasonanavitarte

Have you reported on this?

This is his machines and him at the Save Hiram city council meet where you all showed up. Image

In December 2023, Lt. Col. Daniel Luria ordered his battalion to "open fire on every man of fighting age" in Gaza, and his battalion murdered three Israeli captives. Today he's blowing up villages in Lebanon. Image

Russian milblogger “Two Majors” complains that Ukraine is trying to push Russia out of Africa.

“On April 14, 2026, as part of the Food from Ukraine initiative, the first agrohub (Food Processing and Distribution Center) was opened in 🇬🇭Ghana.
1/ Image
“The population is being lured with free food – a mixture of flour and rice (4,000 kits were distributed at the opening), and the authorities with bribes.

✨As a result, Ukraine plans to obtain a logistics and production center for all of West Africa.
2/
“Under the guise of a humanitarian program, the hub will become a distribution center for Ukrainian agricultural products, reducing logistics costs for other countries in the region, which is aimed at long-term consolidation in the African market.

BIG EUROVISION PREDICTION SURVEY 2026 RESULTS
After collecting the predictions of 327 fans and using them to simulate the contest 100000 times in a sophisticated model, here are the results. A full, high detail forecast of the contest based on our collective wisdom (a thread 🧵) Image
Image
Image
Image
Before we start, a quick disclaimer:
While the model has proven relatively reliable before, being on par/better than the odds, it is not omniscient. There will be misses
The results are also not my personal predictions, as I am only responsible for one 327th of the models data
SEMI 1
While 🇫🇮🇬🇷🇸🇪🇮🇱🇲🇩 look like obvious safe qualifiers, 🇭🇷🇷🇸🇲🇪 also look likely, in part helped by strong support from each other. 🇱🇹🇬🇪 round off the top 10 with 🇵🇱 looking like a dark horse, and 🇧🇪🇵🇹 being outsiders. Chances look more bleak for 🇪🇪🇸🇲, but nothing is impossible Image

#Followup | 📌Gaza Amputees

▪️The number of amputees in Gaza has exceeded 5,000, a significant proportion of whom are children. This figure surpasses the numbers in countries plagued by landmines, such as Cambodia.

/1
▪️The health sector is facing a severe crisis due to a shortage of materials for manufacturing prosthetic limbs. This shortage stems from import restrictions & border closures, forcing some centers to reuse old limbs or manufacture rudimentary replacements using simple materials.
▪️Doctors warn that the lack of resources and specialized personnel (numbering no more than 8 in Gaza) exacerbates the suffering of the injured and slows down the recovery process, especially for children who require continuous adjustments as they grow.

1/ Almost three years after the passage of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023, its complaints scheme provision finally looks set to come into force this autumn. And the new registration conditions will follow next April.

How did we get here? A (long) thread.🧵 Image
Image
2/ On 12 May 2021, the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill was formally introduced in the House of Commons by Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education.

It was a response to the censorship culture that had taken hold in British universities. Image
Image
Image
3/ The Bill faced immediate opposition from a range of organisations, including the National Union of Students (which maintained that there was “no evidence” of a freedom of speech crisis) and university lobby groups such as UUK and the Russell Group. Image

If you speak Kannada, Telugu, or Sanskrit, you’ve likely noticed that Hindi sounds "clipped."

Rama becomes Ram. Shiva becomes Shiv.

Even in English, "Chocolate" feels like it’s missing a syllable. Ever wondered why?

I went down this rabbit hole yesterday and was fascinated with what I learnt.

Welcome to the world of 'Schwa Deletion' in linguistics. 🧵👇
1. What is a ‘Schwa’?

The Schwa (ə) is a "lazy" vowel, the neutral "uh" sound.

The word comes from the Hebrew sheva, meaning "emptiness" or "nothingness."

It is the sound your mouth makes when it’s doing absolutely nothing.

Because the Schwa is "empty," it’s easily crushed.
2. The VCV Rule

In linguistics, there is a rule: if a schwa is trapped between a Vowel-Consonant (VC) and followed by a Vowel (V), it vanishes.

To simplify: If a short 'a' is sandwiched between a VC and a CV, it gets deleted.

Take Rahana (To stay):

Written: R-a-h-a-nā
The middle 'a' is that "empty" schwa.
Because it’s sandwiched, it’s deleted.

Result: Rah-nā (2 beats instead of 3).

NEW: With local elections less than three weeks away, Labour fear a wipeout in the capital.

But I’ve uncovered evidence which suggests that a member of their London executive committee participated in Israeli military training.

Here’s the TRUTH about Labour’s London campaign:🧵 Image
London Labour’s executive committee includes Izzy Lenga.

In a now-deleted Facebook photo, Lenga is pictured in a military uniform, wrapped in an Israeli flag and carrying an assault rifle.

Evidence suggests Lenga may have taken part in Marva, a two-month “IDF intro” course. Image
Image
Izzy Lenga is a friend of fellow Labour councillor Ella Rose.

In 2016, after being made director of JLM, Rose attempted to conceal a previous job at the Israeli embassy in London.

Rose also admitted to an undercover reporter to “working with” Israeli embassy officer Shai Masot. Image
