@ShaykhIshraq Ive got 3 of the 4, the Hayes book in particular is really interesting

My top 4 recommendations for someone who is looking for an in-depth introduction to Formative Twelver Shi'i Islam. Haider explains origins, Asatryan disputes, Hayes occultation, and Modarressi sources.

For every anti-#Ismaili, anti-Hazar Imam, anti-#AgaKhan tweet, post, or subreddit you see, recite Salawat 11 times. اللهم صل على محمد وآل محمد They send hate; we turn it into more blessings for the Jamat, more love for Hazar Imam Shah Rahim, more faith in our hearts. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

@_CatintheHat @WHO Schools in the UK will no doubt be declared magically safe from this virus as they are from C19, with the complicity of teacher unions, media all political parties and to the deafening silence of @WHO

@WHO It’s also worth noting that the UK classify the Andes Virus (hantavirus) as an AIRBORNE High Consequence Infectious Disease (HCID). gov.uk/guidance/high-…

HANTAVIRUS OUTBREAK ON CRUISE “Human-to-human transmission suspected on board hantavirus cruise ship, WHO says” ▪️7 cases identified so far. ▪️3 people (2 Dutch, 1 German) have tragically died. ▪️1 Briton is in intensive care in South Africa. edition.cnn.com/2026/05/05/afr…

@karamballes And MPs have the benefit of air filtration systems whereas (thanks to government & unions) those who work in education still have no protection against the ongoing Covid pandemic

Having a drink is fine, having a drink on the job isnt Those working in education are held more tightly to the Nolan Principles than MPs

@nishanciefendi @HasnainWizard Why?

everyone should read this book

@JaycelAdkins Alas I've only read Wandering on the Way but some of the passages were powerful.

This is my Zhuangzi stack as of last year, do I need to organize it alphabetically and by translations vs scholarship. I can see the whole thing in a glance…

@insekt__ Jones is clearly a perennialist!

one major plot hole in Indiana Jones is that, in the first movie, Jones receives direct confirmation that a Jewish or at least Abrahamic God exists. the plot hole is that he isn't a Hasid in the second movie.

@ElsaSofia__AI It's an old story but privatio bono has been critiqued for well over a thousand years and has substantial logical contradictions.

“…It’s the kind of cold that arises when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that arises when there is no light.” [This is probably the best answer I’ve ever heard to the question.]

“Why did God create evil?” [This is probably the best answer I’ve ever heard to that question.] A university professor asked his students: “Was everything that exists created by God?” One student bravely replied:

@Kristyan_B_ The Left supprted him & his headchoppers in Syria. Even now as Allawite, Christian & Shi'a minorities are beaten, murdered and worse under his watch the left look the other way.

With Syria’s Ahmed al-Sharaa in the UK, watch how a certain section of ‘the left’ that romanticise armed groups in Palestine and Lebanon suddenly turn into anti-Muslim bigots when it comes to Syria, with all the usual dog-whistle nonsense. Dismal.

@Unusual_Times @devisridhar She blocked after I politely asked her on what basis was she going round saying schools were safe from Covid, spoiler alert: they are not.

Used to absolutely adore @devisridhar theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #WrongAgainHun

@Unusual_Times Now we just need the good Dr Devi to tell us that schools are...wait for it...safe!

Oh good. Munro is back...

@_CatintheHat Nothing will be learned from (the ongoing) Covid pandemic. Especially when it comes to schools. Teachers unions will again join hands with the DFE in the lethal lie that 'Schools are safe'.

The Covid Inquiry report concluded: “In future, guidance should assume that ALL plausible routes of transmission are possible until sufficient evidence proves otherwise” There are no excuses anymore. The govt MUST NOT make the same mistakes again. We MUST learn from the past.

Nightclub owner at centre of meningitis outbreak says “something isn’t making sense” - as TWO staff in hospital. “There's been a lot of talk about how hard it is to transmit… …but actually, it was transmitted a LOT more easily, by the looks of it, than they're suggesting” 🧵

@sadiem035 I have read the first two books in the pile, the second one is, I think, particularly very well written.

I went to the JK literature desk for a single book, and the kind lady gave me all these for free.

@aravind What is a 'plandemic' (I'm assuming its not a typo)?

Those who still believe in de-dollarization and the end of USD are delusional. The US is controlling VZ oil, the world's largest, VZ's huge reserves of gold, and all its resources. The US is on the verge of controlling Iran's oil and its resources. It influences Iraq, OPEC, Nigeria's exports. In shipping, it is controlling Panama Canal, Suez, Straits of Hormuz, Greenland, Malacca. It is couping regimes at will. Taking down powerful countries like Iran with brute force. It has surrounded every major power with its bases. But most importantly has allies all over the world and NATO for its support. It is even getting Russia on its side. The same Russia that was harassed by the China influenced corrupted elitist western deep state for decades now. The US is still producing the greatest tech and innovations which others merely copy or improve on. It still runs the world's financial system, banking networks, and the internet. But for some delusional people, somehow the US is failing, the USD is crashing, and China - which has made enemies all around it, including major powers like India, Japan, and Korea, and also failing to protect the one or two allies it has - is winning. The only way the USD is crashing is the US itself letting the USD erode temporarily as it resets its economic system, gets rid of its debt, and brings about a new crypto backed USD, if needed. The "de-dollarizatio" and "US is failing group" are totally influenced and carried away by Chinese propaganda of China is a superpower. China is not a superpower. By any means. It was beaten and literally made to pack bags and backoff by India itself in recent times. But communist China won't go into the night without a fight that tries to bring down the whole world. So we must brace for a war, a plandemic, or both.

@bitterarab The left would be more vocal in support of the devil than they are of Iran right now. And we all know why dont we.

If the devil and Israel/america go to war, know that I will side with the devil.

@tonygsnyder @RealEmirHan In the film.

@AbdullahHasib2 @RealEmirHan Where are these plot holes?

Zack Snyder says “Go f*ck yourselves” if you think his fans are “toxic” and defends ‘Batman v Superman’ 10 years later: “Do you really want a movie that’s had all the edges shaved off it by the focus groups? Decisions that have been made in boardroom?”
