France is not a country. It is a working a five pointed territory through which the Divine Will of history presses itself into matter. Geography is destiny. But France's geography is sacred geometry : The Pentagram Look at a map. France is the only major nation in the world whose natural borders form a near perfect irregular pentagon: Pyrenees, Alps, Rhine, Atlantic, Mediterranean. Five axes. Five elemental thresholds. The ancients called such configurations receptacles of force. The land itself is a sealed vessel. This is not metaphor. Traditionalist geographers from Guénon to Evola noted that certain territories act as polar attractors nodes where the invisible hierarchies of the world discharge their lightning. France is one of three such nodes in Western history. And the most volatile. Three times, France has reset the operating system of civilization, not by conquest alone, but by transmitting a spirit that colonized the collective imagination of humanity: 987: Cluny and the Romanesque Fire. From Burgundian monasteries, a single spiritual current reformed the entire Western Church, created the pilgrimage roads to Compostela, and built the first unified European sacred geography. The monks of Cluny were alchemists of the soul, they rebuilt the invisible architecture of the West from a valley in Burgundy. 1789: The Revolution as Cosmic Eruption. The Rights of Man did not emerge from a political debate, they erupted like volcanic logos. Within a decade, the revolutionary virus had dissolved every ancien régime from Haiti to Warsaw. Napoleon carried it further still: a single Corsican vessel channeling the Jovian will of France, rewriting the legal code of the Earth: the Napoleonic Code still governs 2.5 billion people today. 1900 - 1970: Paris as the Axis Mundi of the Modern Spirit. Picasso dismantled visual reality. Bergson dissolved mechanistic time. Sartre and Camus handed an existential grammar to a generation untethered from God. Structuralism. Cinema. The Situationist International. When the world needed new forms to hold its crisis of meaning, Paris dreamed them first. The French ethos is not merely cultural pride. It is a specific psychic posture, a permanent tension between raison and passion, between the Apollonian clarity of Descartes and the Dionysian fury of Rimbaud. This tension is the alchemical solve et coagula operating at the level of a civilization. The French dissolve what is rigid in the world (solve): they question, revolt, philosophize, dismantle. Then, paradoxically, they crystallize new form (coagula): cathedrals, codes, manifestos, haute cuisine elevated to metaphysical discipline. No other people has oscillated so violently and so productively between these two poles. Joan of Arc is the archetype. A peasant girl becomes the sword of the divine will, unifying a fractured kingdom, then is burned by the very Church she saved. She does not survive the operation. France rarely does. The vessel cracks each time it pours. Yet it is reconstituted, again and again, for another working. To be a catalyst is not to be protected. France has paid the esoteric tithe in full: revolution devouring its children, two world wars that bled its youth into the earth, a post war spiritual crisis unmatched in the West. The gods do not reward their instruments. They exhaust them. Yet exhaustion is not death. It is Calcination: the first stage of the Great Work. The black earth from which gold is eventually extracted. Those who understand the rhythm know: France does not decline. France incubates. The question that haunts every student of sacred history is not whether France will act again. It always does. The question is: what is the next transmission? When the world loses its coherence, when the old stories collapse and no new myth has yet crystallized, historically, one looks West, past the Rhine, to the hexagonal vessel where the fire never fully dies. FRANCE BAISE OUAIS !!!

This is a confirmation email from a SignUpGenius ( signup for “Scott County ICE Watch”, and it is very clearly signed by Brad at the bottom: • He personally thanks me for signing up • He gives instructions for patrol shifts, Signal app usage, posting in the “Daily Scott County RR Chat”, using specific Signal group links, Google Maps routes/hotspots • He explains Dispatch procedures and links to an overview on (a shortened/personal link from his own domain) • He lists training dates, including in-person at Shakopee Library • He provides his personal cell phone number (952-380-6328) for questions • He ends with “Brad” followed by the clear call to contact him This is not some vague third-party thing. This is Rep. Brad Tabke himself running/organizing/coordinating the Scott County ICE Watch program, including recruiting people for patrol, dispatch, training, and even food receiving/packing/delivery shifts at the New Creation Church location in Shakopee. Combined with everything else that’s already public: • His repeated real-time posting of ICE locations and movements in Shakopee (multiple times per day in many cases) • His public statements thanking people who “joined our ICE watch Shakopee group” • Conservative media + X posts documenting that he operates semi-private dispatch/patrol networks via sign-up sites (credit to Sarah Fields) • Reports that he had to lock down / change the signup after people started filling it with troll accounts (my fault). …this confirmation email is basically the smoking gun that proves he is personally organizing and leading this rapid-response / watch / interference effort against ICE operations. This goes far beyond just tweeting opinions or general activism, this is a sitting state representative Brad Tabke directly coordinating shifts, dispatching people to locations, training volunteers, and providing real-time operational guidance to monitor and respond to federal immigration enforcement. This situation is explosive. The scale of coordination, the elected official status, the real-time location sharing, and the documented organizational structure — this is crossing into federal obstruction territory. Arrest him!

Today America roots for Norway, and I need you to understand exactly why. We love an underdog. It is not a preference. It is a genetic condition. Two hundred and fifty-three years ago, a handful of colonials with no navy, no army, and no chance decided to throw a tea party in Boston Harbor to spite the largest empire the world had ever seen. An empire the sun never set on. An empire that could have ended us in an afternoon. And when the greatest military on earth said you cannot possibly do that, our answer was, and remains, hold my beer. Then we picked a fight we had no business winning. Then we declared ourselves free before we had actually won anything. Then we went out and made it true. We turned 250 last week. Still here. Still loud. That is the whole American operating system. The impossible odds. The comeback. The redemption. We do not just like that story, we are that story, and we will root for it anywhere we find it. It is why a bunch of college kids beating a Soviet hockey machine in 1980 still makes grown men cry in bars. So today. Norway. Five and a half million people. A country with more sheep than starting lineups. Playing England, a founding nation of the sport, on the biggest stage there is. Now let me be fair. We love England. Truly. Best ally we have got, and I say that with a full heart. Though the Japanese are gaining fast, so do not get comfortable. We love the Scots. We love the Northern Irish. We love our drunk cousins in Ireland, and yes I am lumping you all in, because half of you moved here anyway and you hate the English for reasons we are all familiar with. Nobody loves Wales. Nobody knows Wales exists. Nobody can understand a word of it. But I digress. Because today is not about any of that. Today is about five million Vikings walking into a stadium against an empire, with everyone on earth telling them they cannot possibly do this. You know exactly what we say to that. Let’s row!!! NORWAY!!!!!!

#AlexCoughlan Has Been Laid To Rest On His Birthday In a cruel twist of fate, Alex Coughlan has been laid to rest on his 38th birthday (May 30th, 2026). This specific date was incidental, as his loved ones did not have Alex returned to them until Friday May 29th. RTE were in attendance this morning. No other media appeared to be present. RTE's attendance felt like a box-ticking exercise: standing, arms folded, across the carpark of Stafford's funeral home in Ballyfermot, gazing at the mourners gathered, as a faded Irish flag flew on a pole nearby, tethered by a single cable tie. They reported little on the touching aspects of what was to be a celebration of Alex's life. The omissions feel calculated and in keeping with the lack of overall coverage of Alex's death. They published a short, dispassionate article about what was an incredibly moving service. I have, at the time of writing this piece, found no other articles online about the funeral itself—not even a mere mention today that it was taking place. The service for Alex was open to all, and this fact further indicates that what RTE and other media have not reported illustrates a lack of respect and a desire to conceal, as opposed to a desire to honour privacy. In the wake of his passing, RTE (purposely?) reported inaccurate details, leading to incorrect speculation and victim-blaming (which caused further unnecessary pain for his loved ones) around the circumstances of the day Alex left his home (and did not return until yesterday, where he lay in repose). Now, that is quite enough about the government's mouthpiece. Today is about Alex. Mourners were asked to make May 30th Alex's day. Everyone who gathered was asked to sing "Happy Birthday." As tears are not usually seen when singing "Happy Birthday," it was a well-wish like no other, for a human being who, for many there, was like no other. The words were sung in a heartfelt manner, with the sad realisation that he should be here celebrating. The backdrop behind the casket (with a single red rose upon it) was the Irish tricolour with lighting that subdued the green, white, and orange as it stood, standing in silent guard, as Alex made his final departure. Pictures and clips of a smiling Alex and his family, friends, and significant life events played throughout the service. He was spoken of as the glue that held his family together. It was clear Alex was a shining and guiding light in the lives of many. The celebrant spoke of the necessity to ensure that the circumstances leading to Alex's untimely departure be prevented, so that no family ever has to suffer such a loss again. In the final minutes, all who gathered were asked to sing "Ireland's Call" as family members carried Alex's coffin upon their shoulders past the crowd. He had been a proud Ireland rugby supporter in life. It goes without saying, an abundance of tears fell throughout the service, but particularly during singing. Upon leaving, people were asked to have a shot of his favourite tipple in Alex's honour (Jameson and Coke) as they made their way out. Alex was brought to Glasnevin Cemetery for a private cremation. If you are reading this, raise a toast for Alex today, who will be forever young at 38. #SpeakHisName #RememberHim PLEASE KEEP COMMENTS CONSIDERATE, AS ALEX'S LOVED ONES MAY COME ACROSS THEM. By Susanne Delaney "Ireland’s Call Come the day and come the hour Come the power and the glory We have come to answer Our Country's call From the four proud provinces of Ireland Ireland, Ireland Together standing tall Shoulder to shoulder We'll answer Ireland's call From the four proud provinces of Ireland Ireland, Ireland Together standing tall Shoulder to shoulder We'll answer Ireland's call Hearts of steel And heads unbowing Vowing never to be broken We will fight, until We can fight no more From the four proud provinces of Ireland Ireland, Ireland Together standing tall Shoulder to shoulder We'll answer Ireland's call."

The Bondi Beach shooting was carried out by a father and son who had pledged allegiance to ISIS ABC reported this, citing investigators. An ISIS flag was found in the attackers’ car. 24-year-old Navid Akram had previously come to the attention of Australian security services over suspected links to an ISIS cell in Sydney. He is currently in critical condition. His father, 50-year-old Sajid Akram, was shot dead at the scene. Social media users are discussing the younger Akram’s apparent composure and training — video footage shows him firing continuously and with precision at unarmed people. The massacre was stopped by 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two: unarmed, he rushed the gunman and wrestled the pistol from his hands. The man was shot twice and is now in hospital, Bloomberg reports. U.S. billionaire Bill Ackman organized a fundraiser via GoFundMe. Around $690,000 has already been raised for the hero from the fruit shop, with Ackman himself donating $99,999. After the attack, unknown individuals dumped pig heads at a Muslim cemetery in Sydney, following the refusal of Islamic community leaders to bury the terrorists there. They said they do not consider the attackers to be true followers of Islam. In six minutes, the terrorists fired more than 100 shots. Sixteen people were killed. Among the victims was 87-year-old Alex Kleitman, a Ukrainian-born Holocaust survivor. He died while shielding his wife from the bullets.

My experiences at the stadium yesterday (I was tired from same-day long flight so I may have missed a few things.): • There were lots of Shir-o-Khorshid flags and shirts in the stadium, which was great to see. Despite the “ban”, it was nice to see so many on display. Freedom of speech matters in the USA. • Compared to Islamic Republic-friendly Qatar in 2022, the difference was noticeable. Back then, I saw with my own eyes that there were binders at the admission gates listing prohibited items, including Shir-o-Khorshid flags. The security there was hostile and scrutinizing every flag and article of clothing. This time, there were no such binders or checks beyond normal security screening. • The fans carrying Shir-o-Khorshid flags were supporting Team Melli throughout the match. From what I saw, they were there to support Iran and enjoy the game. • The Islamic Republic anthem was loudly booed throughout the stadium. • I didn’t witness any major arguments or confrontations, although I know videos of disputes are circulating online. I’m only speaking about what I personally saw inside and around the stadium. • The only issue I witnessed involved an older Islamic Republic supporter sitting in the row behind me causing a disturbance and getting what I believe was his grandson to go to security and complain about nearby fans with Shir-o-Khorshid flags, claiming the flags were banned. Security told him to relax and made it clear they were not going to remove anyone’s flag. • Ironically, a few minutes later, those same Islamic Republic supporters were told to leave because they were sitting in the wrong seats. 👏 • The woman sitting behind me, wearing a regular Iran shirt, was ecstatic when they left. She told me she felt their presence beside her and her two sons had been a bad omen and was relieved to see them go. • The atmosphere was electric from start to finish. SoFi Stadium is one of the nicest stadiums I’ve ever been to and was an amazing place to watch a World Cup match. • Like what I saw in Qatar 2022, you can spot an Islamic Republic supporter from a mile away. Ugly to the bone. They always look mangled and angry (physiognomy is real in this case). A note - I encourage Iranian fans and Shir-o-Khorshid patriots to attend these matches and bring their flags. In my view, it’s a missed opportunity that some have chosen to boycott the national team when these events provide a chance to make their voices heard in front of the world. Boycotting only silences your own voice. It’s a self-inflicted loss of an opportunity to be seen and heard. Overall, it was a positive experience. Fans were there to support Team Melli. It was great to see so many Shir-o-Khorshid flags in the stadium and to see people expressing themselves freely without the issues we saw in Qatar. The result was disappointing, but the atmosphere and the passion of the Iranian fans made it a memorable.

The modern gym has an ADHD problem. Not a clinical one. A cultural one. People walk in and they cannot stop moving. They cannot be seen resting. They superset because the 90 seconds it would take to recover between sets is somehow wasteful. They rotate between stations so the equipment never goes cold. They bring a programme that involves six exercises in four different corners of the gym. They carry their water bottle like it's a prop that justifies the constant transit. The gym floor looks like a man who cannot sit down and doesn't know why. Here is what they are doing. They are prioritising the appearance of productivity over the conditions required for productive training. A quality set of 5 reps at a challenging load, close to failure, followed by three minutes of deliberate rest, followed by another quality set, is boring to watch. Nothing is happening for three minutes. Someone might think you're not serious. Someone might take your bar. So instead: constant movement. Constant evidence of effort. 60-second rests. Supersets. A session that looks like work and delivers approximately the same stimulus as the brief, unfashionable version: but in 90 minutes, with twice the joint stress and a level of systemic fatigue that competes with recovery for the rest of the week. Heavy. Four to six reps. Straight sets. Three minutes rest. Four exercises. You could do this in an hour. You would make more progress than the man who hasn't stopped moving since he got here. You would also have an hour back. The stillness is not laziness. The stillness is the mechanism. Sit down. Rest properly. Pick up the heavy thing again.

Let's talk about agentic product design. Every company has its own design process. What has always worked for me is spending long studio hours with our product team, dissecting things into pieces and putting them back together. In those sessions we look at value, usability, simplicity, aesthetics, behavior, storytelling, generics, and emotional mapping. I've been crafting products this way for as long as I can remember. Product work at Lemonade isn't for the faint of heart. This obsession over every detail is hard work, but I believe it yields better results and builds stronger talent. One of the things I love about our design and product team is how this process became a second nature to them. Feedback is fast, professional, and tension free. But in our latest session, something was different. One of our designers used Figma and Cursor to build a mockup that was so advanced, it was almost ready to be shipped. It was an incredible glimpse into a world where a single designer working on top of modern low code infrastructure will be able to launch production grade experiences for products with millions of customers, and with LoCo, I expect this to become a reality at Lemonade in just a few quarters. But there's a problem to watch out for. An interesting phenomenon I've noticed over the years is that the higher the fidelity of the work being reviewed, the more defensive people become. When someone shows up with something polished, they tend to resist feedback. They've already fallen in love with what they built, and it's hard for them to accept rejection. Radical candor feedback works best at an early stage of the project, before people get attached and feel the need to defend their work. This session was no exception. Because the work was so advanced, the review became binary, and its maker became defensive. Happily, we all caught ourselves in time to acknowledge this new dynamic and started figuring out how to go back to obsessing about every corner radius, shade of white, and word. When reviewing agentically coded designs, we'll try having our designers bring in more than one option, as well as the open Cursor project so we can make changes in real time if needed. We'll see how it goes, and if this is of interest, I'll update what we learn.

A customer must buy 30 USD worth of Memecoin_MANNY token (CA:0x172ae9e9b46770a70f479404d76e2f6561507011ef77a247fe3f58e7a5840a0d::manny::MANNY). After buying it and depositing it into a special wallet, he will be granted access to the bot. . The bot runs only on the backend — users interact with it via an interface (web app, Telegram bot, or API). A web dashboard and Telegram bot interface will be created. This lets users Start/stop their bot session See trade logs or results. Connect their API keys securely. Get alerts and updates The idea of all this is to offer a service but also bring value to the project. More bots will be developed. This is only the beginning.

People are too quick to blackpill every time someone mentions the possibility of a new great era for AKB48 A lot of people, especially non-Indonesian in the fandom, may not know this. But within the 48 Group, there is a very real example of a group that fell to the brink of collapse, and then rose again to the national stage Let me remind you of a concrete example of a 2nd Golden Era, that is the rebirth of JKT48 Around 2018 to 2021, JKT48 was on the brink of collapse, especially when COVID hit We saw it unfold in real time. Mass graduations. Low morale across the fandom. It genuinely felt like the end was near. They tried everything to gain new fans and even retain old ones, traveling across cities to meet fans. But the reception was low. Even the venues were often far from full in those tours Until, around late 2021-2022, there's a lot of reform in the group and in the fandom. But in my opinion, the biggest catalyst was memes and TikTok Fans on Facebook and TikTok, where a lot of normies and the general public are, started editing photos and videos in comedic ways that resonated with viewers One viral video I remember used "RIVER" over a flood clip, turning a tragic moment into comedy. Sometimes people cope through humor, and those jokes connected with the wider public Another moment was the widespread Freya memes during Ramadhan. They attracted young people who became curious about her, and eventually about the group itself. The memes were relatable, and that relatability opened the door and personally, I think another major turning point was the release of "Rapsodi". The general public reception was incredible. So many normies heard it, and many genuinely loved it There's an insane influx of new fans during that era, bigger that anyone would expected. I would even argue that the 2023 era of JKT48 was bigger than they had ever been before. For most of their history, JKT48 was a niche fandom. People knew the name, but that was it I witnessed it myself during their annual tour stop in Yogyakarta at Sleman City Hall, the venue used to be only half full. But at the peak of their rebirth, it was completely packed. Even the upper floors were full. People were curious about this group that had existed for almost 10 years stopping by their city At that moment, I realize that we've reached a new turning point. A turning point that we've really wished for since like 2017 Now, the general public has, more or less, embraced both the group and its fandom, relative to the previous era So the lesson is simple Anything can happen Stop blackpilling Stop doomerposting Manifest the rebirth that you wish to see

Tesla Model YL impressed the heck out of me! I’ve seen all the reviews and noticed many of the same things, so I won’t repeat what others have said, but I want to highlight stuff I haven’t seen many/any people talk about! TL;DR: passenger space is plentiful and not an issue, best model Tesla sells. Game changer for families. Passenger space/comfort I am 6’2 and can comfortably fit in all 3 rows even when adjusting them all to fit me-sized humans! Leg room is 100% not an issue. The only catch is 3rd row headroom. In a proper seating position, my head hit the glass. However, another guy who was 6’0 sat back there and was totally fine, so torso length matters! Even for me, a lil slouch or scooting my butt forward and it was totally fine. 6 adults can easily and comfortably fit in YL for sure. The thigh supports in the front row do absolutely nothing for anyone taller than probably 5’8. Very underwhelming. The captain’s chairs recline REALLY far, almost laying down, combined with the heated AND air conditioned seats and the first two rows are positively luxurious. Arm rests are also great and very sturdy. They come up high enough to still be comfy even for a tall guy like me. Tons of rear vents, air flow was really good and consistent throughout. Trunk space The sub-trunk cover magnetically attaching to the 3rd row seat-back is a great way to claw back some of the lost space when the 3rd row is up. Makes it very usable. Also, people have criticized the bump when the 3rd row is down, but there’s a pair of little folding arms (4th pic) that pops up and makes it totally flat. Great design! Head rests They are adjustable up and down via a mechanical button that you press and hold and just lift/lower the headrest by hand. (3rd video) Pretty decent amount of travel, and a huge improvement! These are on the 1st row AND the captain’s chairs! Camping I had a quick chance to fold all the seats down and climb in on my belly and close the trunk, and this is a huge improvement over the normal Y. I had TONS of room, my toes weren’t touching the trunk and my head wasn’t touching the front seat, not even close! And that was without moving the front seats at all! I sleep in our 2023 Y all the time and it’s great, but it’s only barely enough room and only with the front seats allllll the way forward. Also, the 4 extra vents in the rear cabin will be huge for air flow, which is somewhat of a problem in other Ys. Zen Grey Interior I’m a big proponent of Tesla’s white interior, and I like the Zen Grey! Definitely not stark white, but it’s still very light and looks phenomenal. Doesn’t look dingy at all. If you’re a white interior enthusiast like me, you’ll love Zen Grey too. General observations The showroom was PACKED with people and everyone was there for YL! I talked to a lot of people and let me tell you, families are super excited about YL! It was fun to watch everyone’s reaction as they climbed in the 3rd row and were shocked how usable it is.
