🚨 Breaking: Hossein Dehghan replaces Ali Larijani.
During Dehghan's time as Defense Minister, Israel stole the regime's entire nuclear archive. Khamenei was so enraged that he demanded the sacking of Dehghan.
They have officially hit the bottom of the talent barrel 🤡
Global warming “crisis” is everywhere?
So why does it disappear the moment you leave town?
Too warm? Turn off the heating. Walk outside. Leave town.
Go to a national park.
Strange. The warming “disaster” doesn’t seem to like nature? It only impacts growing human settlements?
A 74-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a 3-week history of intermittent fevers, muscle aches, and vomiting. Thin blood smears showed spirochetes.

The world's on fire. Millions of people got displaced in the Middle East. Iran's getting bombed back into the preindustrial era, and as it lashes out again its neighbours, the global economy is getting obliterated.
Meanwhile, North London is in the throes of the most bizarre "pastry war".
The US 🇺🇸 learned that it has three types of "allies":
🟢 The single country that fights alongside it 🇮🇱
🟡 Countries that stand idly and do nothing when the US needs them
🔴 Countries that betray the US and actively sabotage its war efforts
R to @orwell2022: 5/ The US is the only place with stations / sites compatible with climate accuracy — stable environment, free from urban impact, commitment to excellence.
That level of quality mindset is unique.
Elsewhere, almost nonexistent. Sole exception: Valentia IR @MetEireann

The CIA's venture capital arm funded the technology behind Pokémon Go. That's not conspiracy. It's public record.
Niantic's founder John Hanke previously built Keyhole, a 3D satellite imaging tool funded directly by In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital arm. Keyhole was used to support US military operations in Iraq before Google acquired it and turned it into Google Earth.
The same founder also led the Google StreetView WiSpy scandal, where Google cars secretly harvested emails, passwords, and browsing data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks across multiple countries.
Now look at Niantic's board. Gilman Louie, co-founder of In-Q-Tel, sits on the board of both Niantic and Vantor (the defense contractor Niantic just partnered with). Niantic's CTO co-founded Keyhole with Hanke after spending a decade at E-Systems, a military contractor later acquired by Raytheon. Another co-founder came from DARPA-funded Silicon Graphics, which built 3D graphics for defense systems.
This was never a gaming company that pivoted to defense. The defense lineage was there from the beginning. Pokémon Go was the data collection mechanism.
30 billion images. Centimeter-level spatial accuracy. GPS-free navigation for autonomous weapons. Built by a team with direct ties to the CIA, DARPA, and Raytheon.
The story isn't that Niantic tricked gamers. It's that the intelligence community found a way to crowdsource a centimeter-accurate map of the physical world by making it fun.

The authors of a new Perspective write that some foreign pharmaceutical plants that export generic drugs to the United States have glaring quality problems that can lead to drug shortages. There is a better way to assure the safety of generic drugs. Read the Perspective by Kevin Schulman, MD, and Arthur L. Kellermann, MD, MPH: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2518256
> 600,000 left atrial appendage devices have been placed
NOT NONINFERIOR 👇🏻
Trial is large, nonindustry funded and done in experienced centers in Germany
Endpoint had both efficacy and safety components and still did not make non-inferiority
I tried to tell you all
This is insane.
The frontrunner in the Paris mayoral race appeared to smile when questioned about a major extracurricular abuse scandal. This raises serious questions.

Very, very bad news.
As I wrote in Material World, Ras Laffan is one of the most important industrial sites not just in the Gulf but in the world. LNG, helium, other products. Massive.
Whatever happens next, serious damage to this site could reverberate for months, maybe years.
Britain muslims are first time more likely to have a positive view of the islamist regime in Iran than the general public
They are also far more hostile to the US and to Israel
Die evangelische Kirche Deutschland hat Stellung zur Sicherheitspolitik genommen. Leider sehr einseitig und mit falschem Grundton, wie ich finde: „Petition an den Rat der EKD: Überarbeitet die neue Denkschrift zur Friedensethik!” - Jetzt unterschreiben! https://c.org/SDBhcj6vGP
Überhaupt niemand hat jemals behauptet, man könne keine Elektroauto Firma bauen, die nach 15 Jahre etwa halb so viele Autos verkauft wie Suzuki.
Bezweifelt wurde, dass Tesla komplett den Markt übernimmt und zum wichtigsten Autobauer wird, "legacy car makers" am Ende sind.
Das ist auch offensichtlich nicht passiert.

Das wäre übrigens ein guter Moment für einen echten Kanzler, die deutschen Gasvorräte zu fördern, die letzten AKWs zu retten und die grünen NGOs abzuräumen.

„Eine in Deutschland stationierte amerikanische Krankenschwester teilte AF Post mit, dass die Zahl der Opfer (Verletzte und Tote), die aus dem Nahen Osten nach Deutschland kommen, „weitaus höher“ sei als die gemeldeten Zahlen.“
Brave Iranians: Coward Basijis:
Totally agree. MD without residency training is sort of useless.
No special skills. Just a rather generic body of knowledge without application experience.
In two days Iranians will celebrate the new Persian year: 1405.
Khamenei's Persian Wikipedia page is going to be hilarious:
- Born: 1318
- Died: 1404
- Buried: 1405
🤣
Heartbroken by the Rochdale acquittal. That 13-year-old froze in pure panic during the attack — exactly the trauma response so many survivors know too well. It’s called tonic immobility: your body shuts down, you “leave” yourself, you can’t scream even when help is close. That doesn’t mean consent. This verdict isn’t justice. We’re sliding backwards on understanding rape, consent, and how fear actually works. The system failed her. Every survivor deserves better.  #RapeMyths #BelieveSurvivors #TonicImmobility

Chaharshanbe Suri celebrations were a huge success:
🔥 Basij members were forced out of hiding. Hundreds eliminated.
🔥 Critical intel was gathered on Basij's plans and coordination strategies against protesters.
🔥 Iranians gained renewed confidence to take to the streets.
