The sad and racist history behind the Aunt Jemima Brand.

A THREAD

Aunt Jemima was a brand of pancake mix, syrup & other breakfast foods owned by the Quaker Oats Company. It was one of the earliest products to be marketed through personal appearances and advertisements.

Aunt Jemima was first introduced as a character in a minstrel show – a show that consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music performed by white people in blackface for the purpose of playing the roles of black people.

Who is Aunt Jemima ?

Her real name was NANCY GREEN. A storyteller, cook, activist, and the first of several black models hired by R.T Davis Milling Company to promote a corporate trademark as "Aunt Jemima.

🚀 $BTC MONTHLY: THE SIGNS WERE THERE. $SBET $PURR $ASST $IBIT $ETHA $HYPE BITCOIN MONTHLY TECHNICAL TREND-CHANGE THESIS

🔸 MONTHLY TD9 BUY SETUP TRIGGERED:

• a major long-term trend-exhaustion and potential macro-bottom signal.

• Because this TD9 formed on the MONTHLY timeframe, it carries substantially more structural significance than a short-term TD9.

• Historically, Bitcoin monthly TD9 Buy setups have appeared around major bottoming periods, including the 2022 bear-market bottoming process.

• This is Bitcoin’s first perfected Monthly TD9 Buy setup since 2022.

———————————
🔸 50-MONTH MA HELD AS MAJOR LONG-TERM SUPPORT FOR 4 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS

• Bitcoin repeatedly tested and respected the rising 50-month MA throughout the correction, with buyers defending this major long-term trend level for four straight months, including August.

• Instead of establishing a sustained breakdown beneath it, BTC based along the 50-month MA and has now expanded sharply higher from that support.

———————————-
🔸 MONTHLY 10-MA RECLAIMED & HOLDING

• BTC has broken back above the monthly 10-MA and is currently holding above it.

• After the 50-month MA provided long-term support, reclaiming the faster 10-month MA signals the intermediate monthly trend is beginning to turn higher again.

🔸 MONTHLY BULLISH ENGULFING CANDLE IS NOW FORMING

• the current monthly candle is engulfing the prior 2 month’s bodies, providing price confirmation that the preceding downside momentum may be reversing.

• It remains unconfirmed until the monthly close.

• Odds of closing out the month engulfing one of the two candles it’s currently engulfing are high.

———————————-
🔸 FIRST MONTHLY MARUBOZU CANDLESTICK SINCE THE ATH CORRECTION

• Bitcoin is producing its first powerful, large-bodied bullish monthly candle with Marubozu characteristics since the correction from its all-time high,

• signaling a major expansion in buying pressure.

🔸 BITCOIN NEVER LOST THE MONTHLY ICHIMOKU CLOUD

• despite correcting from approximately $126K to $57.8K, BTC remained ABOVE the monthly Ichimoku Cloud throughout the entire correction.

• Price never entered the Kumo, meaning the long-term Ichimoku trend structure was never technically lost.

————————————
🔸 MONTHLY ICHIMOKU CLOUD REMAINS GREEN

• the forward cloud maintained its bullish configuration throughout the correction.

• Despite the magnitude of the drawdown, the longer-term Ichimoku structure never transitioned into a confirmed bearish regime.

Before you risk another dollar,

prove that your trading strategy actually has an edge.

Use these 7 tests.

Thread 🧵

1️⃣ Test at least 50–100 trades:

Do not judge a strategy after 8 winners.

Use a meaningful sample.

Track:

• Total trades
• Wins
• Losses
• Breakevens
• Net R

The goal is to see how the strategy behaves over many trades, not one good week.

2️⃣ Calculate expectancy:

Your strategy needs to make money on average.

Use:

Expectancy =
(Win rate × Average win)
− (Loss rate × Average loss)

Example:

45% win rate
Average win: 2R
Average loss: 1R

Expectancy:

0.45 × 2R = 0.90R
0.55 × 1R = 0.55R

Expected value = +0.35R per trade

That is the number that matters.

@ThunderWatson @shipwreckedcrew @DHSGenCounsel Montserrat is at least one example where TPS was eventually terminated because the conditions were no longer “temporary.”

Besides, if the American people agree with you, Congress would change the law.

Sadly, Biden Administration abuse of TPS etc. has hardened many hearts.

@ThunderWatson @shipwreckedcrew @DHSGenCounsel federalregister.gov/documents/2004…

@ThunderWatson @shipwreckedcrew @DHSGenCounsel Here, the Trump 47 Administration is “humane” for Americans, a significant difference from the Biden Administration which simply Did Not Care.

We got some new Book 386 accessories! We can now connect up a floppy drive and expansion cards. Let's have a look. Time for... yep... a 🧵

First of all, where did I get these from? Tindie! And they got here in about 10 days, from China. Not too bad!

Alright, let's check out the floppy connector first. Well, on first try, I got the data cable connected backwards. Easy fix. How about the power cable that was provided? IT'S TOO SHORT! Well, I rigged up something to work, but... I consider that to be a fail.

Todd had terminal ALS and just ordered a wheelchair—then DMSO gave him his life back

His brain fog vanished. Breathing crises stopped in 3 days. He dragged 340-lb beams across a road. His reflexes healed.

His recovery shocked his doctors—but ALS is far from the only thing DMSO helps.

Dozens of readers have now shared "impossible" neurological recoveries with me and James Miller MD found roughly 80% of neurological issues people see neurologists for simply go away once he gives them DMSO.

Approximately 3000 studies support its use for conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to strokes, MS, paralysis, chronic pain, neuropathies, spinal injuries, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome.

Here, I will show how DMSO can cure many "incurable" neurological disorders.🧵

Here I present the extensive evidence behind DMSO’s ability to treat numerous “incurable” neurological diseases.

This article draws upon over 2000 studies and hundreds of reader reports of people healed by DMSO, plus practical guidance on how to use it.

Since publishing it I’ve received many reports of DMSO helping “incurable” neurological conditions:
Physician with MCI → memory better than decades ago
Dementia patient → speaking again after 2 weeks
Down syndrome child → started crawling + rapid motor gains

🚨Researchers developed a compact electrochemical system that removes carbon from seawater & converts it into solid minerals such as calcium carbonate & magnesium hydroxide.

The system removed >85% of dissolved inorganic C & operated continuously for more than 100 hours.

🧵1/12

2/ The idea is to use electrochemistry to change seawater chemistry.

By generating hydroxide, the system raises the pH of seawater. This shifts dissolved inorganic carbon toward carbonate, causing carbon-containing minerals to form and locking the carbon into a solid form.

3/ But getting this process to work continuously is difficult.

Electrochemical ocean CDR systems need large contact areas btw seawater & electrodes, while electricity is lost when ions hv to travel long distances btw electrodes. Mineral precipitation can also foul the electrodes

Extremely important thread.

1. How the radical Islamist cartel is working against Hindus and India and their connection with CJP.

Meet Abdul Malik Mujahid. He is a Pakistani and is working very closely with Bilal Erdogan, son of Turkey's PM.

2. He runs many outfits registered at the same address in the USA.
One of them is Justice for All.

In this outfit, he works with the Soros-funded Marxist Sunita Viswanath's Hindus for Human Rights and the radical islamist outfit IAMC.

3. They are now running a campaign against the US visit of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat Ji.

Who are these people? @DisinfoLab has written detailed threads on this cartel.

But let me show you something more interesting.

1/ I'm a cardiologist. I've practiced for twenty-five years, through a lot of "breakthroughs" that turned out to be press releases. So understand the weight of what I'm about to say: I have never seen a single week in medicine like the one we just lived through.
In the span of a few days, four separate scientific breakthroughs landed. The stock market treated them as four unrelated stories and sent a handful of biotech companies soaring. But that's the shallow read. Look closer and they are not four stories at all. They are four faces of the same story — the biggest shift in medicine since the discovery of antibiotics.

Medicine is becoming programmable. Individualized. Written for one human being instead of the average of millions.

Let me walk you through exactly what happened, in plain language, and show you where this is actually headed. Because the future arrived quietly this week, and most people scrolled right past it.

2/ Let me walk you through exactly what happened, in plain language, and show you where this is actually headed. Because the future arrived quietly this week, and most people scrolled right past it.

Start with the old world, so you can feel what's ending.
For the entire history of medicine, we have treated the average patient. The average dose on the label. The average risk from the population study. The average tumor, the average cholesterol, the average heart. We took what worked for the middle of the bell curve and applied it to you, and then adjusted by trial and error when you didn't respond like the average.

But you are not average. Your cancer, if you get one, will carry a set of mutations no other cancer on Earth has ever had. Your heart disease is driven by your specific genes, your specific biology. The one-size-fits-all model was never a choice we made — it was a limitation we couldn't escape, because we lacked the tools to read and write biology at the level of the individual.

That is the wall that cracked this week. For the first time, we have hard proof — in real patients, in large trials — that we can build medicine for one specific person, and that it beats the old average-based approach. Here are the four pieces.

3/ Breakthrough one: the first personalized mRNA cancer vaccine won a Phase 3 trial. This is the headline the world felt, even if it didn't understand it.
Here's the old reality for high-risk melanoma. Surgeons remove the tumor, and then we tell the patient: "We got what we could see. Now take Keytruda, and we hope the microscopic cells left behind don't come roaring back." And too often, they came back — in the lungs, the liver, the brain.

Now here's what just changed. Scientists take that removed tumor, sequence its DNA, and compare it letter by letter to the patient's healthy DNA. The differences — the mutations unique to that cancer — produce abnormal proteins called neoantigens that exist essentially nowhere else in the body. An algorithm picks up to 34 of the best targets. Those get encoded into a custom mRNA vaccine, manufactured for that one person, that teaches their immune system to hunt any cell wearing those markers. In the 1,137-patient Phase 3 trial, the vaccine plus Keytruda beat Keytruda alone — less recurrence, less spread to distant organs. It's the first time in the history of medicine an mRNA cancer therapy has won a Phase 3, and trials in lung, bladder, and kidney cancer are already running.

The honest caveat, because I always give you one: this measured whether the cancer came back, not yet whether patients ultimately live longer — that data is still maturing, and the full statistics haven't been published. But the signal is real, and it is historic. Wow.

1/7 (reply to @nasqret, mention @nagolinc)

@nasqret @nagolinc I think the article is being argued with at the level of its headline rather than its content, and in a way that lets its actual claim through untouched.

Bartosz, your objection is that mathematicians are not idiots and adapt well. Litt agrees. He says in his own writeup that this is not a prediction, that he is optimistic by nature, and that he expects the field to find a way to adapt. His scenario does not require naive or inflexible mathematicians. It requires exactly the opposite.

The mechanism is this. The profession still rewards papers, resolved conjectures, and priority. Those outputs are now mispriced. Adaptable people responding rationally to a mispriced reward signal is precisely what produces what Litt calls playing the slot machine for conjectures: let a model select and resolve problems, verify, publish, repeat, several times a day. Nobody in that loop is naive. Nobody is failing to adapt. Adaptation to a broken price signal is the failure.

So shape-shifting is not the rebuttal. It is the transmission mechanism.

2/7

The deeper problem is in the reply chain, where the claim is that mathematics follows philosophy: the answerable questions get taken by science, the unanswerable ones have no consensus, and the practitioners are downgraded from wise thinkers to people who argue a lot.

That dichotomy has a missing third term, and it is the one that does most of the work in the actual history. Very often the question is neither answered nor left to permanent disagreement. It is shown to have been improperly situated, and the reformulation is what makes the subsequent science possible.

Zeno was not refuted by measuring an arrow. The paradoxes dissolved when limits and convergent series were made rigorous, which took two millennia and produced analysis on the way. Absolute simultaneity was not settled by a vote; it was shown to be incompletely specified without a frame, and that is a conceptual result before it is an empirical one. Vitalism did not lose a debate. It stopped being a well-posed question.

Dissolution is not defeat, and it does not leave behind a residue of arguers. It leaves behind a better question, usually in someone else's hands, and usually with the original discipline uncredited.

3/7

Two further problems with the criterion.

First, it is self-refuting in the standard way. The claim that questions science can answer are better answered by science, and that the rest admit no consensus, is not itself a scientific result. By its own test it belongs in the second bin. This is the verification criterion of logical positivism, and it collapsed for exactly this reason roughly eighty years ago. It is not a small technicality; it is the reason the program ended.

Second, and more directly relevant here, the history inverts in mathematics specifically. Philosophy of mathematics is not the waiting room mathematicians are sent to once the theorems run out. It sits upstream.

Frege asking what a number is. Russell's paradox and the theory of types he built to answer it. Hilbert's program and Brouwer's objection to it. That dispute did not terminate in an irresolvable argument. It produced proof theory, model theory, recursion theory, and type theory, which are branches of mathematics. Gödel's incompleteness theorems are the answer to a philosophical program, and they are theorems. Turing's analysis of computability arose from the Entscheidungsproblem, Hilbert's question about decidability.

I built another 1MB memory module for my IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 today. I took some pictures to take you through the process! Full disclosure: I'm an amateur at this stuff, but thought you might enjoy it! Time for a 🧵

So, first, let's talk about the tools I used. No, I am not sponsored. For soldering, I used this Pinecil soldering iron. I also used some soldering braid and some Tin/Lead solder with flux. Also used some needle nose to strip the wires, and a magnifier to see!

For the wire, I chose this 36 AWG High Temp Hook Up Wire. In hindsight, probably not the best choice, it is hard to strip, but it worked!

1/ While Russia's economy is declining, one sector is booming: sex tourism from China. Russian sources report that "intimate tourism" is growing, with "petite [Russian] women with high voices and a youthful appearance" being most in demand. ⬇️

2/ The Russian Telegram channel Mash reports that Chinese visitors now account for 56.3% of all foreign visitors to Russia. They are flocking in particular to the border city of Blagoveshchensk in the Amur region, across the Amur river from the Chinese city of Heihe.

3/ According to Mash, "Blagoveshchensk is being promoted as a city where everyone speaks Chinese, where you can visit a bathhouse, go hunting, and enjoy other eco-friendly activities. Visits to prostitutes are also included in this package."
