🧵 On Those Classic Cultural Twitter Accounts

Someone on here questioned why I would say that accounts like the one below are dog whistles for white supremacy.

Well, ok. Let's do this. Image
This account has over a million followers and posts seemingly innocuous images of admittedly BEAUTIFUL buildings.

Of course, 99% of them are...er...the creations of white Europeans located in Europe.
Much of the genre of their account is lamenting the supposed loss of a world that generated these artistic genres and buildings.

Venezuela was ONCE a very rich & prosperous Latin American country..due to its oil reserves. There was prosperity all over. People were happy.

Then came a Leftist Idi0t & today Venezuela is one of the most poorest country, even worse than Pakistan!

What happened suddenly?

2/21
Well, not suddenly. There were efforts of 14 yrs by LEFTISTS to
ki££ Economy!

Started in 1999 when an Idi0t Leftist Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías stormed to power & became President.

How did he become President?

Simple. By offering FREEBIES! Only thing Leftists're good at.

Chinese GDP grew by 5.3% in the first quarter of 2024, well above expectations, reinforcing concerns that GDP growth in China means something quite different than GDP growth in economies that operate under hard-budget constraints.

2/5
While most economists inside and outside China recognize that sustainable GDP growth in China requires that consumption play a stronger role in driving growth, with investment and the trade surplus playing a declining role, the opposite happened in the past three months.
3/5
Retail sales continued to lag in the first quarter, while much of the period's growth was driven by higher investment in infrastructure and (especially) manufacturing and a large trade surplus. China is still having trouble boosting domestic consumption, in other words.

Threads ON #cpimmanifesto

1/6: The CPI(M) election manifesto represents their betrayal of India. Advocating for dismantling military bases and nuclear disarmament? This is reckless endangerment of national security! #CommunistBetrayal #cpimmanifesto
2/6: By calling for the repeal of crucial acts like UAPA, PMLA, and CAA, the CPI(M) shows their disdain for law and order. They prioritize chaos over stability, putting citizens at risk. #CommunistAgenda #cpimmanifesto
3/6: Removing "RSS personnel" from key positions is not just political manoeuvring—it's a direct attack on individuals based on ideology. This divisive rhetoric has no place in a democratic society. #cpimmanifesto

[THREAD] The scene of the execution of the former commandant of Auschwitz in 1947. Few people in mililtary uniforms stand around a man in military jacket (Rudolf Hess). Next to him is a man in a covered head. On the right side of the frame thee are steps leading to a gallows. Behind them all two buildings are visible - a block with windows and the entrance to a bunker.
Rudolf Höss was born in Baden-Baden on 25 November 1901. He joined the Nazi Party in 1922 and the SS in 1934. He started his career in Dachau in December 1934, then he worked in KL Sachsenhausen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_H%…

🇿🇦 Team Journalism is begging to save them because they allegedly saved us.

📍But where was journalism when the African Union adopted the African Medicines Agency Treaty - The AMA Treaty in 2019?

📍Why are there no articles, no news reports of the AMA treaty, collaborators and funders?Image
Image
1️⃣ Why does journalism condemn the NHI Bill and remain zipped about the African Medicines Agency Treaty - The AMA Treaty?
📍Are we to assume they didn’t hear / read of the committee meeting in Parliament?
2️⃣ Here’s the AMA Treaty and guess what - none of our political parties will speak about it
📣 Why?

The amount of ignorance in the comments is staggering. Can't believe that people still compare Zheng He's expeditions to Columbus' or Vasco de Gama's, and blame China for "unmaneuverable" ships that didn't discover America or conquer the spice route.
The expeditions could not /2
2- have been about "discovery" when they went along trade routes that were known for centuries by mariners from Africa to China. Just because Europeans didn't know about them doesn't mean that the rest of the world didn't! When Vasco de Gama arrived in Ethiopia, he hired /3
3- a local pilot to sail his ship to India! As for discovering America, well duh, it was never Columbus' goal, as he was looking for China!
And no, China didn't go on a rampage like the Portuguese and bomb every port along the way, because they had no need nor intention /4

Interesting read. Yet the authors downplay Russia's war aims and they largely assume that Putin negotiated in good faith.
The evidence presented here is more consistent with another interpretation: that Russia was hoping to force Ukraine into a settled surrender through the talks. They knew that the West would not sign anything that entailed the obligation to go to war with Russia.
Russia since 2014 has used both, war and talks, to achieve what it wants, the full submission of Ukraine. There's nothing new with this. Talks are just another tactic to achieve the overall goal, the elimination of Ukraine as an independent state and as a nation.

🚨🚨 Interview Tip!

What happens at the backend when you launch a Pod in Kubernetes!

A Thread 👇 Image
🐳 Step 1: YAML Configuration

To kick things off, you create a YAML file defining your Pod's configuration. This includes details like container images, ports, volumes, etc. #Kubernetes #YAML
🔍 Step 2: API Request

Once you've got your YAML ready, you send an API request to the Kubernetes cluster. This request includes your Pod configuration. #K8s #API

1/9 There’s free money on the table and almost no one is talking about it!

A proposal by @OriginProtocol passed to merge OGV and OGN.

But $OGV is trading lower than what you get in back in $OGN!

Why I’m bullish on $OGN and how to get more tokens through arbitrage 🧵 Image
2/9 You know I've talked about $OGV before and why I like it.

Origin recently shared its renewed roadmap, including:

➡️A zero-slippage LST liquidity protocol (ARM)
➡️Expansion to Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism
➡️Generalized LSTs for EVM chains
3/9 Origin’s roadmap aims to merge OGV into OGN, making OGN the value accrual token for all its products.

With Coinbase and Binance listings for $OGN, all of Origin’s products will become investable on major exchanges.

@anjewla90 @LauraLoomer @AndrewHGiuliani I remember Crackhead Barney and her friends going to lots of NYC protests and causing trouble. They claim to be performance artists and would harass Trump supporters. I saw her in YouTube videos. She was arrested, too. I think she was there on J6, too.
@anjewla90 @LauraLoomer @AndrewHGiuliani Performance Crackhead Barney is a controversial and eccentric artist known for her outrageous and confrontational street interviews. She gained popularity through her TikTok videos and has since become a viral sensation.

@anjewla90 @LauraLoomer @AndrewHGiuliani Crackhead Barney's stage name comes from a performance in which she dressed up as a one-eyed version of Barney the dinosaur and harassed passersby on the street.
