Invited to Pfizer vaccine, got 'unblinded' my trial. Happy to say:"Pleasure talking to you just now – I can confirm that you have received two doses of SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant vaccine as part of the NOVOVAX trial. That is, you have received the active vaccine.

Trump:”I like to hang out with losers, it makes me feel better.”

BREXIT means ECONOMIC DECLINE

Johnson was the biggest cunt, Truss was the most incompetent and Cameron was the most entitled. None of them were qualified to lace Starmer’s boots, and I’m not really a fan.

@_chenglou @threadreaderapp please unroll.🙏

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

Absolute bombshell. A former US Defense Intelligence analyst reveals the Pentagon is in full panic mode. They just issued an emergency order for prefab bunkers because they completely underestimated Iran. Trump sent American troops into a war zone with zero protection.

We thank India for the emergency fuel support, a reminder that relationships are tested in crisis, not comfort. Let us not forget those who stood by us when it mattered.

Absolute bombshell. A US Senator casually confirms the Iran War is underway and reveals Iran is successfully hacking American medical systems and targeting US satellites. A top General admits the US space enterprise is highly vulnerable. Trump's war is a total disaster.

Spiralling into the depths of insanity and taking us all with him.

Madhu ji, just because your liary gang comes and posts 4–5 tweets, the truth doesn’t become a lie. You kept saying screenshots were edited now what will you say about this video? Not everyone is like you. I don't want your ₹1 crore. I don’t need even a single paisa of ISI-funded money. I am presenting the truth just accept it.

Trump on Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince MBS today: “He didn’t think he would be kissing my ass. He really didn’t. And now he has to be nice to me. He better be nice to me.” This is how the President of the United States describes America’s most important Gulf ally. The same Saudi Arabia that: — Cut oil production by 6.7 million barrels — Whose energy infrastructure Iran threatened to destroy — Who the US needs to keep oil markets stable — Who Trump is asking to join the Iran war Diplomatic relationships are built over decades. Trump just described the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as someone kissing his body parts — on camera — while asking him for military cooperation. France got an 8 out of 10. Japan got Pearl Harbor. Saudi Arabia got this. The isolation of America is not just a policy failure. It is a daily practice.

They’d be crazy to swap a popular PM, who is trusted internationally, for anyone else. And many of us really appreciate the fact that Starmer is working primarily for the UK, not for himself or his party.

Parting thoughts: 1. If I'd edited that article, yes, I would have insisted on something mealy-mouthed like "multi-day, largely unstopped incursion" over "attacked." 2. If your response is "😏 so you're saying there was no attack? 😏", I'm not sure what else I can do for you:

More details here from ABC News. For those doubting this story, Barksdale has publicly confirmed a multi-day drone incursion and the shelter-in-place order. Further details are in confidential documents obtained by ABC: abcnews.com/International/…

To the geopolitical geniuses informing me that the drone swarms that closed the headquarters of one leg of the American nuclear triad during wartime is a nonstory because no bombs were dropped, may I suggest this informative article about a funny little historical episode:

If you're getting caught on the "attack" language: parse it as you like, but these were multi-hour, multi-day incursions that the Air Force could not stop despite trying pretty hard to do so. You don't shutter your nuclear-armed base in wartime for some hobbyist overflight.

Yes, you have to read "attack" in military lingo — no physical destruction, but a penetration of a target we've taken completely for granted as beyond attack. x.com/zdch/status/20…

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. Barksdale is the HQ for our B52 nuclear bombers, it's where Bush sheltered on 9/11, and the drones are reported as "far more sophisticated than anything seen in Ukraine ... and well beyond Iranian capabilities."

It was global news when Ukraine attacked Russia by smuggling drones deep inside its territory. This sure looks like an adversary signaling that they are willing and able to do the same to us.
