Dali's painting on the left let me to the sketch by St John of the Cross. Why does that perspective seem so significant? It evokes a feeling of seeing an idea in a new way. Is it a bird's eye view? Is it the soul departing and looking back? Loss, vertigo and sad beauty.

TODAY WE HAD OUR ANNUAL VIETNAM MEMORIAL WITH @HudsonVeterans & @hobokenlegion HONORING OUR VETERANS, HOBOKEN LOST 9 SOLDIERS WHO DID NOT RETURN HOME. THANK YOU ALL WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE PROTECTING OUR FREEDOM & THE UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 OF AMERICA #heavenhellorhoboken

🫀Heart failure in 2026: we are no longer treating symptoms. We are redesigning the disease. The latest evidence update reminds us of something profound: Heart failure is no longer a single entity. It is a spectrum, and now, finally, we are treating it as one. Several paradigm shifts stand out. 1. SGLT2 inhibitors are no longer “add-on” therapy. They are foundational across the entire EF spectrum. From HFrEF to HFpEF, the data are now consistent. Not just symptom improvement, but hard outcomes. This may be the most important unifying therapy in modern HF. 2. HFpEF is no longer a therapeutic desert. For the first time, we have real disease-modifying options: Finerenone → outcome reduction across EF ranges GLP-1 / dual incretin therapies → targeting the obesity phenotype Structural and metabolic mechanisms are finally being addressed We are moving from “HFpEF frustration” → HFpEF phenotyping. 3. Acute heart failure is no longer about stabilization. It is about early transformation. The new paradigm: Start GDMT in-hospital Optimize rapidly Treat beyond congestion Decongestion is still important, but it is no longer the goal. Disease modification starts on day 1. 4. Decongestion is becoming precision medicine Urine sodium-guided therapy Early escalation of loop diuretics Sequential nephron blockade Not just “give furosemide”, but measure, adjust, and target response. 5. Devices are no longer rescue therapy, they are integrated care TEER expanding from mitral → tricuspid Pulmonary artery pressure monitoring reducing hospitalizations Remote hemodynamics shaping outpatient management The boundary between ICU, ward, and home is dissolving. 6. The biggest problem is no longer evidence. It is implementation. We already have: Quadruple therapy Proven outcome benefits Yet many patients never reach target doses. The gap is no longer science. It is execution. 🤓Final message Heart failure care has entered a new era: Mechanism-based therapy Early aggressive optimization Phenotype-driven treatment And perhaps most importantly: We are no longer chasing symptoms. We are altering the trajectory of the disease. 📃Reference Liori S, et al. Heart failure evidence update 2026. Heart Failure Reviews. 2026. doi.org/10.1007/s10741…

It’s actually super easy to mentally model progressive thought. Just imagine you really want to be seen as a good person and you lack the moral courage to consider 2nd and 3rd order consequences if doing so might make you look like a bad person.

@stroupknives @TheNewRedneck @Magpul I am concerned it might impinge on the chainsaw attachment- how would this work?

@TheNewRedneck @Magpul 😂

Tomahawks coming tomorrow!

This is one of the most important threads that explains what has been eating at you over the last few years. Ever since the great Precambrian Woke Explosion of 2020, it no longer mattered what the specific issue was whether it was climate change, BLM, trans rights, ANTIFA, Free Palestine, or feminism. All left-wing activist causes suddenly felt deeply interconnected and totalizing in very weird and strange ways. If you are a sane person, you'd have asked: > how come feminists didn't care about the Iranian women subjugated and slaughtered by the Mullahs for wanting more freedom? > how come UN Women cared more about making sure trans women (men) have access to female prisons than Hamas terrorists raping Israeli women? > how come Greta "How Dare You" Thunberg smoothly pivoted to campaigning against Israeli "apartheid" while never once mentioning China destroying marine ecosystems with overfishing? > what the fuck EVEN is Queers for Palestine? > why the hell was Microsoft doing land acknowledgments before Zoom town halls? Everything from American corporate life to Hollywood movies to universities became vehicles for the omnicause: a single, all-encompassing moral framework where climate, race, gender, borders, and foreign conflicts are fused. The surface “issue” often became secondary to maintaining ideological purity across the entire bundle. What was driving this? I KNEW where it was coming from. Now, @DataRepublican and @AsraNomani have the receipts. David Horowitz used to say that "the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution." The revolution here is the overthrow of the ideological architecture of the West and the remaking of the world order. China's leadership explicitly wants to undermine American confidence of itself and of the US-led World Order because Beijing is a revisionist power that sees the system as designed to keep it subordinate. And so it amplifies narratives that portray the US-led order as the "root of evil" - imperialist, morally bankrupt, white supremacist, exploitative, and in inevitable decline. The aim is cognitive warfare to erode domestic support for protecting this order which serves to facilitate China's seamless rise. Neville Roy Singham has funneled at least $278 million through dark-money intermediaries, donor-advised funds, shell companies, and US nonprofits into a vast network of far-left activist groups, media outlets, and political education organizations to push this. @DataRepublican directly quotes Singham at a 2024 CCP forum in Shanghai: "If we want to have a new world order based on multilateralism that President Xi and CPC and China have proposed, we have to undo the ideological damage that has been done by the narrative of World War II." Read that again. Understand that Singham sees this WWII narrative as the last major cultural obstacle standing between the current order and the “multipolar” (China-led) future his network is working toward. And now... notice all those around us who are parroting the same line. It used to be just the crazy lefties and the NGOs like the UN. Or the globalists like the WEF. Now you're seeing it on the right. Beijing wins when a majority in the West treats US hegemony and the post-1945 system as invalid, so that it can replace it with one where it sets the rules and norms.

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself. She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it. 6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on. 7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth. 8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either. 9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it. 12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing. 1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further. 3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats. 6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir. 8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better." Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly. By some of the others, the picture is more complicated. Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

@jmrphy So interesting. You reminded me about the MIT (and others) project called the Moral Machine - moralmachine.net where you chose th eoutcome of crashes involving autonomous vehicles.

I love Waymo. I love it more than any technology I can remember loving. I love analyzing the decisions of the car. It's a much better driver than me. It's more confident and decisive than I would be in the right moments, and it's more cautious and hesitant than I would be, also in the right moments. In a Waymo, I see things about the nature of driving that I cannot see while driving, or even while I'm a passenger with a human driving. You can look around in ways you can't with a human behind the wheel; you can analyze the car's intelligence and character, cross-referencing it to the speeds and distances of surrounding objects, with a focus that would insult, annoy, worry, or distract a human driver. You can reflect on the city and one's coordinates from a bird's eye view, in a way that nobody has ever accessed before. The feeling is surprisingly distinct, a feeling that has never been felt before. We fear being obsolesced by machine intelligence but in so many domains it is an unambiguous, unalloyed good to be obsolesced. Driving a car is boring, nerfed, anxious, and already algorithmically overdetermined. In driving a car, I am the slop who must give my attention to transporting myself down slop lanes, where I am not able to think or feel. When it comes to the road and the city, AI is liberation from slop.

I need to be careful with videos like this - they are designed to make me afraid. It represents the violent 1% and the very lucrative cultural production which is their mouthpiece. The violence that is a part and parcel of this is a threat to black families as well as my own. Uncomfortable truth is that 2A is for all of us or nine of us. It is inalienable or it is not. All of us count or none of us count. And as a flipside - all of us are responsible for our actions and our choices. I try my damndedness to avoid felonies so I can vote, own firearms and be a contributing member of the Republic Yes the ATF should treat this as seriously as it would a > 10 round magazine in my home state... And its selective enforcement is evil both for me and for urban black folks. We have lost the common basis - the shared interest. That is the biggest evil of the Democrats of the past 25 yrs. Liberalism is just the attempt to divide us. I am tryin ghard right now not to be right wing woke - feel like it is essential right now

@grok @Tomhennessey69 are the guns real? or props?

This is an original rap music video (drill/street rap style) from the independent channel "On Wooah TV". Not a movie or mainstream music video—it's self-produced content with young artists rapping and posing with guns in an outdoor urban spot (park/alley, bare trees suggest Midwest like Chicago area). Solid production for the genre: handheld cams, quick cuts, synced audio, and logo at the end. Common in underground scenes flaunting "street" aesthetics.

If this video featured White men, the ATF would treat it like a national emergency: full IP tracing, exhaustive investigation, and a guaranteed 10-year federal prison sentence for each firearm infraction. If you're Black, none of the same laws are enforced.

As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd. The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering. The Blues Brothers performing 'Soul Man' live on SNL, in 1978. 48 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

@Tomhennessey69 @DissidentSoaps excellent point- compare this to the media craze over the virginia rally in the late teens. if i possessed an 11 round magazine in NJ i would be treated more severely than any of these folks

@AndyStumpf77 pretty capable

@mpbubb I did not.

I am in no way trying to diminish the severity or serious nature of someone's death, but I have some logistical questions... Quadruple amputee cornhole champion facing murder charges in fatal shooting. abcnews.com/US/quadruple-a…

And honestly, I’m a convert to Catholicism, but how did Catholics trade this for what sounds like bad 70s music, can we go back already?

@Oldglorycries wonder if you could map this arc against Springsteen’ s transition from working class songwriter to globalist woke monster

@MichaelARothman @BrianOSheaSPI @grok was the fbi scrutiny due to leaked information? or was he being investigated previous to the events directly around his resignation?

𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚.𝗔𝗜 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗝𝗢𝗘 𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗡𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘. Joe Kent goes on Tucker Carlson. Within minutes — not hours, minutes — the same clip, same caption, same outrage floods hundreds of accounts simultaneously. HonestReporting.AI Labs tracked every amplification event in real time, and the data is damning. The trigger quote — 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 — was clipped and posted across hundreds of accounts almost simultaneously. Not after it trended. During the broadcast. Real breaking news takes time to spread organically. This had a running start. Who amplified it? Look at the coalition: Russian state TV (RT). Iranian state media through HispanTV. Hamas-aligned Quds News Network. Turkish state broadcaster TRT. Sputnik Brasil. And simultaneously — Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Max Blumenthal. Russia, Iran, Hamas, and MAGA dissidents. All posting the same message. At the same time. When does that happen naturally? It doesn't. The charts tell the story precisely. Within 2 to 4 hours of the Tucker broadcast, tracked amplification events spiked to 30 — dominated by MAGA dissident amplifiers and Pro-Palestinian/Islamist networks firing in parallel. The second chart shows how far the narrative traveled from what Kent actually said. By the time the amplification cycle was complete, the message had escalated from Kent's original claim all the way to "Israel controls America" — an approximately 85-90% departure from source material. That is not interpretation. That is narrative laundering. The rollout wasn't spontaneous. Kent resigned. Tucker booked him within hours. Real whistleblowers are chaotic. They call journalists from parking lots. They don't have a media tour lined up before the ink dries on their resignation letter. And here's what got buried in all of it: from 2020 to 2024, Joe Kent publicly and repeatedly called for destroying Iran's nuclear AND ballistic capabilities. That record was almost completely absent from the amplified conversation. Narrative laundering doesn't only determine what to amplify. It determines what to erase. The FBI was already investigating Kent. He resigned to control the narrative. The speed, the uniformity, and the foreign state amplification are not organic. This was a coordinated information operation — and the people pushing it included both foreign adversaries and Americans who should know better.
