opus corrects me, reasonably.

There’s a lot packed into that tweet, and I want to push back on part of it while agreeing with another part.
…
infinities in our theories are reliable diagnostic signals — grit in the gears worth taking seriously as a prompt to re-examine assumptions.

[nzc @ngvrnd]

reminder, kids: There are no physical infinities. infinity is the error indication. infinity is the grit that tells us the model isn’t working any more. a nudge to re-examine the axioms.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder, triggered absolute hysteria among pro-Palestinian students at Oxford — simply by telling the truth about his father’s terrorist organization.

WHOA! You've got to see this. This is the view looking northwest from Rochester, New York this evening. See that needle in the distance? That's not supposed to be there. But it is. You're looking at the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada over 100 miles away. The 1,815 foot observation tower should not be visible at this great distance. But under certain conditions, the bending of light can make it seem like it's right in front of you.

This is a spectacular example of a mirage. Layers of cool vs. warm air bend and warp light. It can distort objects, enlarge them, even make them feel like they're right in your backyard. Note how wonky the even sky looks adjacent to the CN Tower in this image. The mirage is affecting the clouds and sky as a whole. I've seen some strange mirages through the years and this is the most pronounced cases of the CN Tower I've captured.

For the first time in 123 years, Argentina has achieved a sustained fiscal surplus without being in default. We are one of only 5 countries in the world in this position.

My god

Survodutide—a weaker GLP-1RA than retatrutide—cut down the volume of liver fat so much that people's livers were almost 20% smaller after 48 weeks!

Treatment meant 61% of the people seemed to no longer have a clinically 'fatty liver'.

I love these wonder-drugs!

I'm a cardiologist. I've held dying hearts in my hands in the cath lab at 3 AM. And I need to tell you something that changes everything about how we prevent heart attacks.

For decades, the entire field was built on one target: lower LDL cholesterol. Statins save lives — that's settled science. But too many of my patients did everything right — took their statins, hit their numbers, lived clean — and still ended up on my table with a ruptured artery.

We were treating the smoke while the fire kept burning.
The fire is inflammation. And the evidence is now overwhelming.

The CANTOS trial proved it first — lowering inflammation independent of cholesterol reduced cardiac events. But the newer data is what keeps me up at night.

AI-enhanced CT angiography can now detect inflamed arteries by measuring changes in the fat surrounding your coronary vessels — the perivascular fat attenuation index. Higher inflammation in the fat around even one artery independently predicts cardiac death. When multiple arteries show inflammation, the risk multiplies dramatically — even in patients whose cholesterol looks perfect.

This isn't theoretical. This is measurable. Right now. On a scan you can get this month.

Low-dose colchicine — a drug that's been around for centuries for gout — is now FDA-approved specifically for reducing cardiovascular events. It works by quieting the inflammatory cascade that destabilizes the plaque sitting in your arteries. A pill that costs pennies is saving lives the statins couldn't reach.

And the next wave is already in Phase 3 trials. Ziltivekimab — an IL-6 inhibitor — targets the central inflammatory pathway driving atherosclerosis. Phase 2 data showed a 90% reduction in hsCRP. The ZEUS cardiovascular outcomes trial is enrolling now, with results expected late 2026 into 2027. If positive, anti-inflammatory therapy will become standard in managing heart disease alongside lipid-lowering. The era of inflammation-targeted cardiology is arriving.
But it goes deeper than drugs. AI is now predicting heart failure and cardiac events 5+ years before symptoms — integrating CT imaging, electronic health records, and genetic data with accuracy that jumps far beyond traditional risk calculators.

And polygenic risk scores — a simple genetic test that flags inherited cardiovascular risk — are now formally recognized as a risk-enhancing factor in the 2026 ACC/AHA guidelines. A single blood draw can reveal risk that's been silently building since birth. Decades before the first chest pain.

Here's what this means for you right now — today:
Ask your doctor for a high-sensitivity CRP test. It's cheap, routine, and measures the systemic inflammation that standard cholesterol panels completely miss. You can have perfect LDL and inflamed arteries that are quietly preparing to rupture.
If your hsCRP is elevated, discuss low-dose colchicine with your physician. It's FDA-approved for exactly this.
Push for a coronary CT angiography with AI plaque and inflammation analysis if you have risk factors. This isn't the stress test your parents got. This is 3D visualization of your actual arteries — with AI quantifying not just how much plaque you have, but what kind it is and whether the surrounding tissue is inflamed.
Consider polygenic risk score testing — especially with a family history of early heart disease. It's now guideline-supported.

And the foundation that never changes: move daily, eat real food, sleep 7-9 hours, manage stress, and know your numbers — ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP, fasting insulin.
I left Iran as a child with nothing. I rebuilt everything in a country that gave me the freedom to become a physician. I've spent twenty years watching patients get second chances.

The ones who haunt me aren't the ones who died on my table. They're the ones who survived but never acted on what the science was telling them — years before the event that didn't have to happen.

You can have perfect cholesterol and still have a heart attack. Inflammation plus genetics can drive plaque rupture in arteries that look "fine" on a standard panel.
The myth that normal cholesterol means you're safe has cost more lives than I can count.

We now have the tools to detect the fire — not just the smoke. AI to see it. Genetics to predict it. Drugs to quiet it. And the ancient basics — movement, real food, sleep, purpose — to prevent it from starting.

Prevention is the new cure. And the science to make it real is no longer coming.
It's here.

It’s not just that Slobodian suffered no harm for misrepresenting the evidence in such an egregious way, that would be bad enough, it’s that he actually benefited from it, because there is a whole industry of activist scholars and journalists who believe that everything bad in the world is somehow the result of the influence of a few intellectuals who died a long time ago.

[ThinkingWest @thinkingwest]

In 1942, C.S. Lewis predicted a future dystopia where:

-Education is leveled to a mediocre state to avoid hurt feelings
-The middle class is hollowed out, removing the primary champions of private excellence
-"Avoiding trauma" becomes the excuse to stop pushing students to their full potential

The obsession with perfect equality ends up destroying human greatness — and it’s fueled by state education, where schools become more like nurseries than academic institutions.

Seems like Lewis’s dystopia is already here.

Muslim Brotherhood event, USA 2025:

“We may end up with about 50 members of Congress in the next six years…
The essence of dismantling the system of injustice is to replace it with the people who represent the Prophet ﷺ.”

Tlaib and Omar in congress. Another one joining soon from NJ. Mamdani as mayor. Michigan a terrorist camp. This was always the strategy… Infiltrate politics here, radicalize the next generation there.

Wake up, America.

Flashback:
Mahmoud Habbash, the adviser to the Palestinian president, has revealed that Hamas deliberately kills women and children in Gaza in order to damage Israel’s image. They use them as human shields and then sacrifice their bodies as propaganda tools.

This is not a secret. This is official Palestinian Authority admission.
Time and time again, Hamas starts futile wars against Israel, using women and children in Gaza as human shields to cause their deliberate deaths.

Once the bodies pile up, Hamas and its supporters parade the corpses in front of cameras to accuse Israel of “genocide.”

The Western media, hungry for dramatic images and hostile to Israel, happily plays along with this grotesque propaganda.

Hating reality — innate sex differences, innate ability differences, group differences, heritability — and then seeking to make taboo discussion of these differences is the beating heart of contemporary progressivism.

Stated differently: The blank slate is its beating heart.

🚨ISLAMIZATION OF AMERICA RAGES ON.....

TAXPAYERS ARE FUNDING THE EXPANSION OF ISLAMIC SCHOOLS ALL OVER AMERICA, AND THEY’RE BRAGGING ABOUT IT IN ARABIC

We warned you. Florida can’t stop the flood. Texas just got sued into submission - and caved. North Carolina’s already handing over your cash. And now? Ohio.

Meet Ohio Ihsan Academy - the shiny new Islamic school in Columbus proudly sucking up EdChoice vouchers (your tax dollars, up to $6k–$10k per kid).

In their own words from their Arabic promo video:

“When children are born, they lose their identity.”

Translation: Public schools are turning your kids into Americans. We fix that with full Arabic immersion so kids “understand 60% of the Quran” by 5th grade. Teachers speak ONLY Arabic. Songs, Montessori, the works - all to keep them Muslim-first and separate from the West.

“We want our children to be proud that they are American Muslims… Islam and America do not contradict each other.”

Sure. But the whole pitch is building a separate identity while rejecting full assimilation into the filthy kuffar society.

They’re expanding like crazy: doubled enrollment in year two, buying 7+ acres for high school buildings, playgrounds, the full Sharia campus. “The community effort” - funded by you.

This isn’t “education.” It’s parallel society construction - exactly what the Project (the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 Explanatory Memorandum) ordered: infiltrate, demand public funds, sue when blocked, and breed the next generation separate from the West.

We showed you the Texas MB kingpins bragging about jacking tuition to match vouchers and turning your money into cradle-to-grave Quran/Sharia factories. Same network in NC’s Al-Huda Academy. Now Ohio’s doing the victory lap.

Your tax dollars are literally paying for the expansion of Islamic schools across America. Facilities growing. Kids segregated. Identity preserved against the West. And the “non-profit” grift is “financially stable” thanks to suckers like us.

Florida’s flailing. Texas folded after the lawsuits. Ohio is handing it out like candy - and Islamic academies are cashing the checks while doubling enrollment and buying land for new campuses.

EdChoice vouchers = your money funding Islamic schools that teach separatism and supremacism. Period.

Demand audits, transparency, and an immediate ban on voucher dollars flowing to these schools. Or keep funding the conquest.

We told you this was coming. It’s here.

He's alive, but seriously injured.

We don't have to live like this. Just lock them up.
