Patch 0.12.3 - "Blades of Ezochi" is now released! Patch 0.12.3 is a minor update patch that includes 3 new classes, some rules updates and a lot of changes to classes. Earthcleaving and Searing Lotus style are two elemental style sword classes, one of which is an anti-tank and the other a tank. Another paladin has also been added with gun paladin. A lot of classes have seen some key abilities redesigned or changed. Some of these such as backlash were too easy to use and lacked counterplay, while other such as defensive flexibility were resourceless defenses that warped the game around having them or not having them. Some other less used abilities have gotten some number buffs to make them less clunky to use. For the basic rules, precise attacks now have pinpoint by default to make them a better option against dodgy targets who often would still have enough guard to negate most of the damage. Block now works against damage in general, giving more of a reason to take it over simply dodging everything and making failed save damage have some counterplay. As always, thank you for your support. Rules Precise attacks now gain Pinpoint. Some abilities do not gain it. Added a Push basic action. Block reaction now works vs damage in general and not just attacks. Updated rules for abilities to state all abilities as general rule require you to have line of sight to it.

M. EL-ERIAN: THE WAR'S LONG-LASTING SCARS WILL HAUNT US FOR DECADES Economist Muhammad El- Erian just delivered a complete brain dump on why this war's economic damage will last far longer than the fighting. He showed exactly how a conflict sold as quick and decisive is instead unleashing inflation shocks, supply chain fractures, and accelerating deglobalization that will drag on growth for years. His breakdown of choke points and America's eroding advantages leaves no doubt that the easy decades are over. THE INFLATION SHOCK THAT KEEPS SPREADING ➡️ Energy prices spike first and immediately raise the cost of gas, diesel, and every mile that food and goods travel to supermarket shelves. ➡️ Those higher costs then spread through the entire economy and start destroying consumer demand as families and businesses pull back spending. ➡️ Without careful management this process forces the economy to give up growth just to contain the rising prices. THE FERTILIZER AND SUPPLY CHAIN TIME BOMB ➡️ Closing the Strait of Hormuz hits far more than oil because modern agriculture depends on energy-intensive fertilizers. ➡️ Food price increases will hit households hard in six to nine months even after energy markets calm down. ➡️ Supply chains built for speed and cheapness now face permanent disruption and structurally higher costs. THE POWER OF WEAPONIZED CHOKEPOINTS ➡️ Iran has shown the world that controlling one narrow waterway gives any actor massive leverage over global trade and prices. ➡️ This discovery changes strategic thinking because economic chokepoints can deliver advantage without conventional military moves. ➡️ The Red Sea and the waters near Taiwan just became far more dangerous pressure points the world must now prepare for. THE RISE OF GEOECONOMICS ➡️ Countries now see that tariffs, supply chain controls, and financial tools can achieve goals faster and with fewer political costs than sending missiles or troops. ➡️ Once the old status quo is shaken the system does not snap back like a rubber band to the comfortable past. ➡️ It settles into new arrangements that often leave major players worse off than before the disruption. THE RESILIENCE IMPERATIVE ➡️ Efficiency used to rule corporate strategy but the war has made single points of failure unacceptable. ➡️ Businesses will now duplicate factories and routes across multiple locations even though it raises costs for everyone. ➡️ This post-COVID trend is accelerating and will define the next phase of the global economy. THE US GLOBAL POSITION ERODES ➡️ America has long enjoyed special benefits from issuing the world's reserve currency and hosting the deepest financial markets. ➡️ Other nations are responding by building little pipes around that system and reducing reliance on US-centered infrastructure. ➡️ The result is a slower deglobalization that leaves the United States less well off than it would have been otherwise. THE BOTTOM LINE The conflict may wind down but its long-lasting economic impact will include permanently higher baseline costs and a more fragmented world economy. The comfortable global system that delivered easy growth and unique American advantages is being replaced by something slower, riskier, and far more expensive for everyone.

INSTITUTIONS SHORTING TO DEATH: TOP EXPERT REVEALS THE HIDDEN COMEX DESPERATION German-Swiss silver expert Jochen Staiger just laid bare the true cause of silver's savage collapse. The metal fell from a January peak of $115 an ounce all the way to $57 today. That is a brutal 50 percent loss in a matter of months. Yet Staiger insists the fundamentals have never looked stronger and the real story lies in desperate futures market games. THE MANIPULATION MECHANISM ➡️ Huge institutions have piled into massive short positions on the COMEX silver futures market. ➡️ Open interest now sits above 104,000 contracts which equals more than 500 million ounces on paper. ➡️ The whole COMEX only holds around 326 million ounces with roughly 86 million available for actual trading. ➡️ These players are shorting themselves deeper into trouble just to stay afloat for a little longer. THE PHYSICAL MARKET THEY CANNOT CONTROL ➡️ The world has suffered through eight straight years of silver deficit that removed 1.3 billion ounces from available stocks. ➡️ Industrial demand continues to surge for solar power, electronics, defense and more. ➡️ New mine supply cannot possibly close the gap fast enough even if everything goes perfectly. ➡️ China has turned into an unstoppable buyer while controlling 70 percent of the world's silver refining capacity. THE DESPERATE BANK PLAY ➡️ American banks have already racked up 316 billion dollars in unrealized losses this quarter. ➡️ They are using the futures market to manage positions and avoid even bigger disasters. ➡️ Staiger warns this approach is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline and sets the stage for explosive moves. THE CORRECT RESPONSE RIGHT NOW ➡️ Most retail investors buy at the top in excitement and sell at the bottom in fear. ➡️ The winning move is to buy every dip in smaller tranches and hold physical metal tight. ➡️ Staiger himself keeps adding to his silver stack daily because he sees this drop as a gift. THE BOTTOM LINE Silver's plunge is nothing more than a paper market illusion created by institutions fighting for survival while the physical world tightens under relentless demand and Chinese accumulation. The fundamentals scream for much higher prices and the window to buy is wide open. This is the sound of a manipulated market beginning to crack under its own weight. #SilverCrash #COMEXManipulation #PaperVsPhysical #SilverDeficit #BuyTheDip #PhysicalSilver #JochenStaiger

VIOLENT PRICE SIGNAL AHEAD: WHY $150 OIL IS NOW THE ONLY PATH TO BALANCE Energy strategist Eric Nuttall of ninepoint Energy Strategies just delivered his long-awaited weekly update. Instead of relief, the only measurable change has been the relentless drain of nearly 200 million barrels of forfeited production while the world clings to hope. The data from Kepler and the warnings from Exxon and Chevron reveal a structural crisis that tweets cannot fix. THE STRAIT REALITY CHECK ➡️ Just 23 ships are getting through the Strait of Hormuz each day compared to the normal baseline of 40 to 45. ➡️ Daily claims of 35 to 40 ships passing were proven false when actual tracking data showed only two tankers making the transit. ➡️ Leading shipping companies like Maersk have abandoned the route completely because the risk outweighs any reward. THE INVENTORY FREEFALL ➡️ Global inventories visible and invisible are now falling at a rate of 6 to 8 million barrels per day. ➡️ Almost 200 million barrels have already been sucked out of the system in just the past two weeks. ➡️ The cumulative forfeited production has already exceeded one billion barrels and is tracking toward two billion under even optimistic scenarios. THE EXPERT ALARM ➡️ Exxon and Chevron have now corroborated the numbers and stated the market is heading into the danger zone within the next few weeks. ➡️ Inventories are approaching the point where refineries hit tank bottoms and can no longer operate without cutting demand. ➡️ Their models show that oil prices will have to rise to between 150 and 160 dollars to achieve the required demand destruction. THE PRODUCTION TRAP ➡️ Middle East production has been curtailed by 13 to 14 million barrels per day because storage tanks are full and crude cannot exit. ➡️ Barnacle buildup on vessels that have sat idle in warm water will add 80 to 90 percent to fuel costs and further delay any recovery. ➡️ "The IRGC has figured out that having control of the strait is more powerful than actual possession of a nuclear bomb" — and there is no sign they plan to relinquish it. THE COVID INVERSION ➡️ The current pace of inventory depletion is the fastest in history and stands as the direct opposite of the massive build that started in February 2020. ➡️ All previous safety buffers including the largest SPR releases in history have now been exhausted or are being drawn down in real time. ➡️ The market remains trapped in apathy and continues to price energy equities for oil in the high 60s to low 70s even as physical barrels trade near 95. THE LONG-TERM BULL CASE ➡️ After the spike forces the necessary adjustment, the day after will feature years of incremental demand just to rebuild inventories and replace lost production from formation damage. ➡️ Even a sudden resolution would still leave lasting bullish effects because much of the generalist capital has stayed on the sidelines waiting for certainty that may never arrive. ➡️ Energy equities represent one of the strongest long-term investment opportunities precisely because the structural shortage is already in motion. THE BOTTOM LINE The market is betting that hope and tweets will somehow refill the tanks before they run dry. When tank bottoms arrive the price adjustment will be swift, brutal, and completely necessary to balance a system that has run out of buffers. #OilShortage #StraitOfHormuz #InventoryCrisis #EnergyInvesting #OilPriceSpike #BullishEnergy #TankBottoms

My graphic illustrates the large number of vacant and derelict properties in Dublin City. It also shows the 4,666 entire houses or apartments currently listed for short-term letting on the Airbnb platform, with a total of 18,649 across Ireland. Landowners owe councils €50 million as 90% of vacant site levies go unpaid. Intended to prevent land hoarding and accelerate housing development, only €138,335 of €9.6 million owed in 2022 was collected. Thirteen of 31 local authorities issued no demands, and of the 18 that did, only four collected any money. Dublin City Council imposed nearly €4.9 million in levies but collected nothing. The prolonged dereliction of properties should be considered social vandalism, a crime against the state and the common good. An effective vacant and derelict tax, coupled with a compulsory sales order, could dissuade landlords from hoarding land, particularly sites that have been vacant and derelict for an extended period. Homelessness in Ireland has reached another new record high, with 14,760 people homeless and relying on emergency accommodation, including 4,561 children from 2,133 families, according to the latest figures released by the Department of Housing. The Housing for All plan, launched by the Irish government in September 2021, is their housing strategy aimed at addressing the country's housing crisis. However, since its implementation, statistics have revealed alarming trends: • Total homelessness increased by 74%, from 8,475 to 14,760. • Homeless adults increased by 66%, from 6,131 to 10,199 . • Homeless children increased by 95%, from 2,344 to 4,561. The 2022 Census shows that the country has 166,752 vacant homes and 66,135 empty holiday homes. Notably, nearly a third of these vacant homes (48,387) have been unoccupied since 2016. Predictably, rent has doubled over the past 13 years and house prices have surged by 55%, marking the fastest growth in any major EU economy. Average rents have soared by 43% compared to pre-Covid levels, with Dublin rents now averaging €2,476. In the capital, a typical three-bed semi-detached home costs €517,333. The average house price in Dublin is rising by €469 per week. To purchase a new home in Dublin priced around €395,000, a first-time buyer typically needs an annual income of at least €77,142 and must also have a minimum deposit of 10%, amounting to around €39,500. This financial barrier helps explain why an estimated 10,600 people left Ireland to live in Australia last year, up from 4,700 the previous year—a staggering 126% increase. This marks the highest level of emigration to Australia since 2013. Currently, vulture funds own 1 in 6 mortgages in the Irish housing market, while cuckoo funds and the State purchase 42% of new homes. This situation has led to a record number of first-time buyers competing for the smallest supply of housing stock in over a decade. Nationally, just over 11,000 homes are available for purchase, a stark contrast to 2012 when 60,000 homes were on the market. A garda and a nurse with a combined salary of €89,000 cannot afford a three-bedroom semi-detached house in greater Dublin. To add to the crisis, the income needed to buy a new home in Dublin is €127,000, which surpasses even a TD's basic salary of €108,987. Consequently, 68% of people in their late 20s still live with their parents, a figure that is nearly 26% higher than the EU average of 42.1%. #Dublin #Ireland #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #homeless #Airbnb #GE2024 #HousingForAll #Election24 #RTEPT

🚨 ALERT AMERICA — MEDIA & CAIR’S WAR ON A MILITARY HERO CAIR is no longer just targeting police and public officials — now they’re going after our military veterans. WHY IS OUR GOVERNMENT NOT BANNING CAIR!? This week, CAIR–Los Angeles and its radical executive director Hussam Ayloush launched a full-scale pressure campaign against San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow — a decorated U.S. Army veteran who served over 32 years and completed 4 tours overseas. His crime? Sharing my post critical of New York City’s new socialist Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani — a darling of the far left and militant Islamic power networks, openly aligned with groups and causes hostile to America’s values. Here’s what HERO Dow said, and every American patriot should stand with him: “I remember like it was yesterday our nation being attacked by Islamic extremists on 9/11. I love this country and I do not share the views of a 33-year-old socialist who wants to trample on the values and freedoms that millions of Americans have fought and died for.” 💥 For that statement of truth and loyalty, CAIR-LA — the same Hamas-linked group named by the U.S. DOJ in the Holy Land Foundation terror-finance case — is trying to publicly shame, investigate, and ‘reeducate’ this veteran patriot. And the The Tribune is helping them do it. Reporter Chloe Jones regurgitated CAIR’s press release word-for-word - and there was NO mention of CAIR’s terror ties, no mention of Hussam Ayloush’s extremist record or his seat on the California Democratic Party Executive Board, and certainly no mention that he was arrested by U.S. federal agents at the U.S.–Mexico border. Interesting how they never mention his CAIR-CA PAC, which works to flood our government with anti-American, Islamic supremacist-aligned officials. 💣 This is a disgrace. A foreign-tied pressure group is targeting a veteran who spent decades defending America — and the local media is cheering it on. 🧩 It’s the same script we’ve seen nationwide: ➡️ CAIR identifies a target. ➡️ Media amplifies the outrage. ➡️ Officials cave. ➡️ The Constitution bleeds. Ayloush has a history of refusing to condemn Hamas, smearing critics as “bigots,” and calling Israelis “Zionazis.” Yet he’s treated as a civil-rights leader while silencing those who bled for this country. 🛑 Enough. 📣 CAIR is not a civil-rights group — it’s a Hamas-linked lawfare network targeting America’s heroes. 📣 Stand with Dan Dow. Stand with every veteran who refuses to kneel. 📣 Expose CAIR. Defend our nation. 🚨 TAKE THIS IN: A decorated U.S. Army veteran who served over 32 years and four tours overseas is now under attack by a radical activist who was arrested by U.S. federal agents at our border — and the media is helping him do it. THIS IS Hussam Ayloush!

//The Wire//1500Z December 14, 2025// //PRIORITY// //BLUF: TERROR ATTACK STRIKES AUSTRALIA AS 12X KILLED IN BONDI BEACH MASS SHOOTING. VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK FOILED IN GERMANY. MASS SHOOTING REPORTED AT BROWN UNIVERSITY IN PROVIDENCE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Australia: A few hours ago, a complex terror attack took place at a Hanukkah event in Bondi Beach. Multiple gunmen approached a gathering of people at a picnic area on the east side of the park, and began engaging those taking part in holiday celebrations. At least two gunmen took up a tactical position on the pedestrian bridge at grid coordinate: 56H LH 40786 48784 // 61.2 ft MSL. From there, the gunmen began firing at event participants in the park below. After a few minutes, these two shooters were eventually neutralized by armed police on this bridge. At least one other gunman was present at the shooting, but was disarmed by a bystander who attacked the shooter with his bare hands and took the weapon from him. This disarmed-shooter was later detained by police on the pedestrian bridge with the others. Analyst Comment: Concerning casualties, right now the number stands at 10x killed during the attack, with a few dozen wounded. At least two of the attackers were wounded/killed by armed police, however their status is not known. The total number of shooters involved in this attack is also not known, but right now the count stands at 3x shooters taking part in the attack. At least one shooter did survive, as indicated by the videos of the incident taken by observers. Regarding the identities of the attackers, official confirmation of their name and status will take some time. However, photos of some of the shooter's drivers licenses have circulated social media in the hours after the attack. At least one of the attackers appears to be Naveed Akram, who had a NSW driver license. Germany: Yesterday a vehicle ramming attack was foiled by police, which involved a local terror cell in lower Bavaria. Local authorities state that 5x suspects have been arrested after they planned to carry out a vehicle ramming attack at a Christmas Market in the Dingolfing-Landau area. Analyst Comment: The suspects have not been identified by name, however their nationalities are: 1x Egyptian, 3x Moroccans, and 1x Syrian. All are currently being held in pre-trial detention, and more documents are expected to be released regarding how this plot was alleged to have been planned. -HomeFront- Rhode Island: Yesterday evening a mass shooting was reported at Brown University after a shooter opened fire during final exams near the Barus and Holley Engineering building on campus. 2x people were killed and 9x were wounded during the attack. Analyst Comment: The assailant egressed from the area after the shooting, which triggered a manhunt for several hours and prevented the scene from being secured for medical personnel to provide aid to the wounded. As of this morning, police state that they have one "person of interest" in custody regarding the case, however they stopped short of calling this person a suspect. Officially, the shooter has not been captured yet. No weapon was recovered from the scene, and the assailant was wearing a mask during the attack. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: In Germany, it must be noted that if this terror cell was rolled up by police, there are probably others which have not yet been detected. Five terrorists is NOT a lone-wolf-style attack, and heavily indicates a more hierarchical organization structure. Depending on how well this cell was organized and commanded, this could mean that other terrorists that haven't been detected yet might be motivated to accelerate their attack planning. Considering the success of the horrific attack in Australia, it's possible that other attacks are coming down the pipeline. As such, increased situational awareness and vigilance is strongly recommended as terrorism risks remain high this holiday season. Analyst: S2A1 Research: Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

My graphic illustrates the high number of vacant and derelict properties in Dublin City. It also shows 4,666 entire houses or apartments currently listed for short-term letting on the Airbnb platform, with a total of 18,649 across Ireland. By the way, the red blocks in my graphic represent some of the derelict and vacant sites in Dublin City, while the red houses represent Airbnb short-term rentals. The graphic also highlights a new housing development at Fosterstown Place in Swords where Ryanair purchased 25 out of 28 homes. Ireland's housing system is dysfunctional and not fit for purpose as it fails to deter vulture funds from bulk buying properties that could be homes for individual buyers. On May 20, 2021, the Irish Government introduced a 10% stamp duty on bulk purchases of residential houses. This measure aimed to discourage large-scale acquisitions by investors and vulture funds. This is one of the reasons why the housing system is broken in Ireland. Ryanair cabin crew salaries in Ireland are notably lower than those of their counterparts at other airlines. Their pay ranges from €17,000 to €29,000, depending on flight hours and additional bonuses. The average salary for cabin crew across Ireland is approximately €2,120 per month or €25,400 annually, indicating that Ryanair's pay is about 15% lower than the national average for flight attendants. It's worth mentioning that Michael O'Leary's current salary stands at €1.2 million—about €49,271 per month. His total compensation package could reach up to €4.7 million, depending on performance bonuses. O'Leary's net worth, primarily derived from his shareholding in Ryanair, is estimated at around €700 million. It's no wonder Ryanair staff struggle to afford average rent in Dublin. Last January, the airline purchased 25 out of 28 homes in a new housing development at Fosterstown Place in Swords. Ryanair stated that these properties were acquired to accommodate staff who work at Dublin Airport. However, to make matters worse, 18 of these homes are sitting empty—six months after the developer completed them. Homelessness in Ireland has reached another new record high, with 14,760 people homeless and relying on emergency accommodation, including 4,561 children from 2,133 families, according to the latest figures released by the Department of Housing. The Government failed to meet its social and affordable housing targets by 2,680 homes last year and significantly underestimated the number of houses needed to be built annually by 17,000. It's widely accepted that Ireland requires up to 50,000 additional houses each year; however, the government's "Housing for All" plan only aims to build an average of 33,000. The Housing for All plan, launched by the Irish government in September 2021, is their housing strategy aimed at addressing the country's housing crisis. However, since its implementation, statistics have revealed alarming trends: • Total homelessness increased by 74%, from 8,475 to 14,760. • Homeless adults increased by 66%, from 6,131 to 10,199 . • Homeless children increased by 95%, from 2,344 to 4,561. The 2022 Census shows that the country has 166,752 vacant homes and 66,135 empty holiday homes. Notably, nearly a third of these vacant homes (48,387) have been unoccupied since 2016. Predictably, rent has doubled over the past 13 years and house prices have surged by 55%, marking the fastest growth in any major EU economy. Average rents have soared by 43% compared to pre-Covid levels, with Dublin rents now averaging €2,476. In the capital, a typical three-bed semi-detached home costs €517,333. The average house price in Dublin is rising by €469 per week. To purchase a new home in Dublin priced around €395,000, a first-time buyer typically needs an annual income of at least €77,142 and must also have a minimum deposit of 10%, amounting to around €39,500. This financial barrier helps explain why an estimated 10,600 people left Ireland to live in Australia last year, up from 4,700 the previous year—a staggering 126% increase. This marks the highest level of emigration to Australia since 2013. Currently, vulture funds own 1 in 6 mortgages in the Irish housing market, while cuckoo funds and the State purchase 42% of new homes. This situation has led to a record number of first-time buyers competing for the smallest supply of housing stock in over a decade. Nationally, just over 11,000 homes are available for purchase, a stark contrast to 2012 when 60,000 homes were on the market. A garda and a nurse with a combined salary of €89,000 cannot afford a three-bedroom semi-detached house in greater Dublin. To add to the crisis, the income needed to buy a new home in Dublin is €127,000, which surpasses even a TD's basic salary of €108,987. Consequently, 68% of people in their late 20s still live with their parents, a figure that is nearly 26% higher than the EU average of 42.1%. #Dublin #Ireland #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #homeless #Airbnb #GE2024 #Ryanair #HousingForAll

Here's what you missed over the weekend in the ongoing conflict in Iran. Get caught up below👇 🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC - Reporting Window: 3/27 - 3/30 *⃣ Israel sustained a wide strike campaign inside Tehran, targeting missile production, air defense systems, and core regime infrastructure in the capital. *⃣ The IAEA confirmed Iran’s Khondab heavy water facility at Arak is no longer operational after Israeli strikes, marking one of the clearest verified hits to nuclear-linked infrastructure. *⃣ Iran continued missile attacks into Israel, including impacts near the Neot Hovav industrial zone that caused fires and industrial disruption without mass casualties. *⃣ The Houthis in Yemen officially entered the war, launching ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel and signaling continued attacks. *⃣ The Gulf front intensified, with damage to infrastructure in Kuwait and sustained pressure tied to the Strait of Hormuz and regional energy systems. *⃣ The United States is now weighing escalation options tied to Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile while maintaining a public posture of diplomacy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✈️ STRATEGIC AIR CAMPAIGN OVER IRAN Israel’s campaign seems to have shifted from targeting regime objectives and symbols, like Basij headquarters, to industrial and military complex infrastructure. This is likely due to a prioritization to degrade the long term capabilities of the regime should the conflict end before regime change objectives can be achieved. Sustained strikes across Tehran, combined with the confirmed disabling of the Arak heavy water facility, show a shift toward dismantling Iran’s military and nuclear backbone. This is now a campaign against production, command, and regeneration capacity. Power disruptions and secondary infrastructure damage across Tehran reinforce that this is expanding beyond military sites into the broader ecosystem that sustains the regime’s ability to fight. This is not a temporary degradation effort. It is structural. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 IRANIAN ATTACKS ON ISRAEL Iran is still firing. But the pattern has changed. Missile attacks continue across Israel, including impacts in the south and repeated alerts across multiple regions. The strike near Neot Hovav fits the current model: disruption, not mass casualties. Launch tempo is down significantly from earlier phases, but the capability remains intact. What matters now is not volume. It’s persistence. Iran can still impose pressure. It just can’t dominate the battlefield in any meaningful way. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟥 YEMEN FRONT: HOUTHIS ENTER THE WAR The Houthis officially joined the war on March 28, launching ballistic missiles toward Israel for the first time in this conflict and signaling continued operations going forward. Since then additional drone launches toward Israel have been reported and intercepted. The group has framed its attacks as part of a unified “resistance front” alongside Iran, Hezbollah, and Iraqi militias. This matters for three reasons: 1. Range and geography - Yemen is over 2,000 km away. These are long-range strikes that stretch Israel’s defensive envelope. 2. Multi-front pressure - Israel is now dealing with Iran (direct), Hezbollah (north), Houthis (south / long-range). That is a true multi-front war. 3. Escalation pathway - The Houthis are not limited to Israel. They sit on the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, one of the most critical shipping chokepoints in the world. If they escalate there, it links directly with Hormuz. This could even further choke critical shipping lanes in the global economy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 GULF / HORMUZ / ENERGY WAR Iran is now fully leaning into economic warfare. Confirmed damage to infrastructure in Kuwait, combined with continued disruption around Hormuz, shows a deliberate strategy: expand the cost of the war beyond Israel. This is not incidental escalation. It is strategic leverage. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇺🇸 POLITICAL / STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS The United States is now the pivot. The public posture is diplomacy and de-escalation messaging. The operational reality is that troop deployments are increasing, escalation planning is underway, and uranium-targeting scenarios are under consideration. At the same time, Iran is not signaling compromise. It is mobilizing, expanding proxy activity, and behaving like a regime preparing for a longer war and signaling it can outwait it's adversaries. That gap is now one of the most important dynamics in the conflict. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW ➡️ Israel is systematically dismantling Iran’s military and nuclear-supporting infrastructure, with Tehran now a primary focus. ➡️ Iran still has strike capability, but its attacks are increasingly intermittent but now beginning to be supplemented by proxy fronts in Lebanon and Yemen. ➡️ The Gulf and global energy system are a growing target for the IRGC's war trajectory. ➡️ The United States is positioned between diplomacy and escalation, with the ability to decisively shift the war if it acts. Bottom line, this is no longer just Israel vs Iran. It is now: Iran, Hezbollah, Houthis VS the US, Israel, Gulf States, and the global economy.

🚨 WEIGH IN 32 🚨 •285.7 pounds (ATH 530+ pounds) •Frank has lost 250+ pounds overall This week, Frank had his blood drawn and got a full report from his doctor. The results speak for themself: When Frank was 530 pounds+ / A1C 11+: •High risk of premature death •High risk of stroke •High risk of stroke •High risk of kidney disease •High risk of vision loss •High risk of neuropathy •A LOT of medications This week’s doctor report results: •Blood sugar: A1C 5.5 (normal) •Lost 250+ pounds overall •All medications lowered or stopped •Moving toward diabetic remission —Biggest update: Frank’s BMI is now 43.5 down from 69.9 in 2020 that’s a 37% reduction under 6 years! This is almost UNHEARD OF. Taking all of this into account, Frank has added QUALITY YEARS to his life. Frank’s doctor also gave Frank a referral for a consultancy on plastic surgery for his excess skin. His excess skin likely weighs at least 30 pounds, which means he’s probably already around 250 pounds. Frank came in to work looking a bit dejected about weigh in today. He always wants to lose big numbers to inspire his fans and doesn’t want to let anyone down. He expected to be about flat. I continue to impress upon him that he is past the era of shredding pure fat and is now building foundational muscle around his body. Frank’s weight has consistently fluctuated between 279-284 over the last couple of months. His diet has been good and obviously his walking and lifting have been consistent, so lack of weight loss has not been a concern. He even hit 3 30K step days this week. As we suspected, the plateauing weight is due to Frank rapidly gaining muscle faster than he is losing fat. He has been lifting weights 3X per week for almost 6 months and the results are hitting. His muscle development is clear in both appearance and increased strength + agility. In the Frankie Fitness videos, you can see Frank beginning to really struggle at the end of sets with significantly improved form (core strength). SO SO SO PROUD OF FRANKIE … I know he prefers seeing massive weight loss weigh ins, but his body is transforming in the best, natural, healthy way. His wins are more complex and substantial than just weight loss now. And by the end of our walk through the NYC sweltering heat, he agreed and smirked. Anudder weigh in in the books

1B Tanner Thach (UNCW Baseball) is another college bat to keep close tabs on this season. Thach was drafted by the Giants in the 18th round of the 2022 draft but decided to honor his commitment to the Seahawks. Thach made a significant impact in his first year on campus and posted a .290/.356/.544 slash line with 11 2B, 15 HR—a UNCW single-season freshman record—and 68 RBIs. He outdid himself in 2024 and hit .324/.406/.700 with 11 2B, a UNCW single-season record 27 HR and 75 RBIs in 61 games. Thach’s production didn’t end there, though, as he was named a Cape League all-star, hitting .275/.367/.493 with 6 doubles, 8 HR and 25 RBIs. Thach has a strong, physical build at 6’4” and 220-lbs. He has a crouched stance in the box with an open front side and a medium-high handset. It’s a bit of a noisy load in which he drops and drifts his hands, but Thach does possess plenty of bat speed. He has a steep, uphill swing path, and it’s a violent operation that is geared towards getting the ball up in the air and doing damage. However, it can get long at times. Thach’s carrying tool is undoubtedly his immense power. He has established a now-lengthy track record of power production with both metal and wood, and he has zero issue tapping into it on a game-to-game basis. Thach has home run power to all fields, though his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side. He gets the ball up in the air on a consistent basis, and when he catches the baseball on the sweet spot, it flies. Thach posted maximum exit velocities during the spring and summer of 113.5 mph and 103.1 mph, respectively. At the start of the summer, he would sometimes unnecessarily sell out to get to his power which caused him to top-spin line drives to the pull side, but as the season progressed he was able to break that habit. Thach has plus in-game power to all fields. The biggest key going forward for Thach is for him to continue to make enough contact to get to his power on a regular basis. His bat-to-ball skills are fringy, though he did post a 90% in-zone contact rate against all fastballs. Like a lot of hitters, the root of Thach’s contact struggles are secondary offerings. He’ll have difficulty at times picking up spin out of the hand which leads to both miss and chase. Thach will also tend to whiff and chase against heaters that are either elevated or on the outer-half of the plate. However, he does handle velocity well and last season he hit .533/.588/1.033 against all fastballs 92+. While Thach feasts on righthanded pitching, he hit just .246/.321/.551 last season against lefties. Thach’s power is tremendous, but he’ll need to add a coat or two of polish to his hit-ability as he transitions into professional baseball. First base isn’t the flashiest defensive profile, but Thach moves well around the bag and is a strong athlete at the position. He’s not afraid to range into the four-hole and he is a reassuring anchor on the right side of the infield. Thach has an advanced baseball sense, a trait that shines on a game-to-game basis. While he won’t pitch professionally, expect Thach to log some innings this spring for UNCW. His fastball tops out in the low 90s and flashes some hop in the top of the zone, but he’ll also mix in a mid-70s curveball and a low-80s changeup. The cherry on top with Thach is his makeup, both on and off the field. It’s impossible to stick a grade on it because it’s a 90 on the 20-80 scale. Would have him as a 2nd-early 3rd round type this July. (🎥: UNCW Baseball, Cotuit Kettleers)

Detoxing to increase life expectancy and liver health:How legit medical practitioners are being comical (and very wrong) about health information. I like Dr. Pal Manickam. He is a Gastroenterologist from California. He makes really comical videos. Some of them make me laugh out loud. But I wish he would be more serious about the content inside his videos because a lot of it are heavy on the misinformation side. I chose to discuss this video because 1) it has garnered millions of views on Instagram and liked by more than 10K people and 2) it talks about detoxing and the liver and 3) it is standard clinician's creed/code to correct health misinformation. In the video, Dr. Pal speaks about endotoxins and exotoxins. Endotoxins he says are toxins within our body like urea and feces and exotoxins are packaged foods. I am deeply worried about his inaccuracies despite being a board certified Gastroenterologist in the USA. Endotoxins are the main component of the outer membrane of the cell wall of a specific type of bacteria - called the Gram-negative group of bacteria or GNB. GNB's are so called because do not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining method (invested by Danish microbiologist Hans Christian Gram). GNB's are characterized by their cell envelopes, which are composed of a thin peptidoglycan (made of sugars+amino acids) cell wall sandwiched between an inner cell membrane and a bacterial outer membrane. Endotoxins are literally "poisons." Their production in the body leads to inflammatory responses at the cell, tissue, organ and systems level which is taken care (neutralized) of by a series of complex process that start in the gut and involving the liver in healthy persons. Example of endotoxin is lipopolysaccharide. Urea is not an endotoxin. It is a substance formed by the breakdown of protein in the liver. The kidneys filter urea out of the blood and into the urine. Urea is the major constituent of the urine and the principal means for disposal of nitrogen derived from amino acid metabolism. Feces are not endotoxins, even though they contain endotoxins. In simple terms, feces, or excrement, is the waste matter remaining after food has been digested, absorbed and thereafter discharged from the bowels. Exotoxins are also toxins secreted by bacteria. An exotoxin can cause damage to the host by destroying cells or disrupting normal cellular metabolism. They are highly potent and can cause major damage to the host. Exotoxins may be secreted, or, similar to endotoxins, may be released when bacteria dies. Example of exotoxin is Botulinum toxin secreted by bacteria Clostridium botulinum. This toxin is notorious for causing a paralytic disease called botulism in infants when they are fed honey at birth. Packaged foods are not exotoxins. They are sources of carbohydrates, proteins and fats and have nutritive value. Toxins do not have nutritive value. In the video, Dr. Pal says our liver will clear all the toxins. He also speaks about sunrise to sunset method - eating from 7AM to 7PM and fasting from 7PM to 7AM which will help detox the body and there is no requirement for "fancy detox diets." He then advises a 24 hour water fasting once a month to detox the body. The liver does not clean all toxins. The lungs, kidneys and skin are also important "detoxifiers" in the body. A lot of misinformation is spread by doctors who "detach organ systems" from the "whole" to sell their agenda of a special practice (like gut detox diet) or sell a supplement that will help improve organ health (such as liver detox drugs) completely ignoring the fact that the "The Whole (body) is Greater than the Sum of its Parts (organs)." The Sunset-Sunrise method is a type of time-restricted eating and a "fancy diet" which Dr.Pal himself is advocating against. A recent high quality study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that time-restricted feeding DID NOT have any benefits over calorie restriction alone in the context of weight loss, body fat changes or metabolic risk factors. Water Fasting is an extreme form of "fancy dieting" and a possibly detrimental "fad diet" which has no conclusive benefits and is not recommended by any clinical societies in the world. It is only recommended by people with anecdotal experience on the same or by those who ignorantly advocate the same without understanding scientific evidence on it, like Dr.Pal himself. An 8-day water fasting only led to sense of well-being and did not affect metabolic factors. It increased uric acid, ketosis, lowered glucose and dehydrated people and can lead to lifethreatening metabolic derangements. Prolonged water-fasting increased triglycerides and insulin resistance after refeeding, the detrimental effects of which remain unknown in long term. All the current available studies on water-fasting is on minimum 5 day to almost 6 weeks of intermittent water-fast and NONE on single day a month fasting as mentioned by Dr.Pal. Again, this advise is just bluff and there is no evidence that it would led to healthier outcomes or improve disease conditons. There is NO evidence that water fasting or time-restricted diets DETOX the body. Detox is a wellness marketing fraud term which is thrown around by people, including doctors, who deeply lack scientific temper, critical thinking and rationality.

Ok, serious hat on. ZOG is dredging up a years old attempt of Milo Yiannopoulos to smear Nick Fuentes and the groypers. I did an 11 hour stream and interviewed the only person who ever leveled claims against Ali Alexander, where we discussed how Milo had arranged this entire narrative for the sole purpose of smearing Nick and Ali, who he had beef with. Because of this, I feel like I should address it again even though this is transparently another bad faith attack leveraging an actual abuse that has literally nothing to do with Nick in a clumsy attack against Nick. This Ali thing is repeated a lot by insane retards like Jaden who has been doing a hate show stalking Nick every day to 50 people since they stopped being friends 4 years ago. So it's something most groypers just ignore because it is known from the streams I and others did at the time to just be bullshit. It's an intricate drama, so I'll keep it concise. 1: Smiley chats with Ali in 2017 at age 15, trying to get a job for Milo/meet Milo. He sends him nudes at request to make this happen. He attempts to goad Smiley into meeting up with him at Milo's events, but smiley refuses, eventually ending the "relationship." This is before he is a groyper or groypers are even a thing. 2. Ali Alexander organized the 2021 stop the steal campaign and allowed Nick at his events, which at the time was extremely rare and useful to the groypers, leading to a working relationship, this relationship is massively overstated and Ali really was still very much an outsider who worked with AF, as he had his own organization and network. 3. 5 years after the fact, in 2022, Smiley for the first time tells Milo, his childhood idol, about what happened as Milo had a falling out with Ali Alexander and had made an open call for anyone with dirt. By this point, Smiley was a groyper, and Milo also had a working relationship with AF as he was close to politicians. Smiley has never claimed any further contact with Ali and was around 20 years old by this point. 4. Milo sits on this information and refuses to release it. After 6 months, he instead sends Nick vague texts saying Ali is "bad news" and hysterically requesting Nick cut all contact with Ali and disavow him. Nick requests evidence, and Milo refuses. 5. Nick and Milo have a falling out in 2023 following Nick's discovery that Milo was apparently still living with his gay black ex-husband and believing the rebirth as a straight Christian was just a desperate attempt for relevancy. 6. Immediately after this falling out, Milo responds after a year of nothing and collects a statement from Smiley about Ali Alexander. He then publishes it as well as the private intimate photos Smiley had sent Milo as evidence of the abuse all without Smiley's consent or knowledge. Milo uses this as a direct attack against Nick. 7. Nick is blindsided by this and immediately reaches out to Smiley and gets the story from him directly. After hearing it from Smiley, Nick disavows Ali's actions publicly on his show and cuts contact with him. And begins attempting to fight against the smear campaign brought forward by bad faith actors. 8. Milo launches "The Ali Files," claiming to have dozens more abuse victims of Ali, that there is an ongoing investigation he is organizing with the police and FBI. He uses it to continually attack Nick and tie him to this scandal. As of now, I am unaware of any arrests that have been made, any further victims to come forward, or any more actual verified information. There has been really nothing other than attacks on Nick since 2023. Now, I did an 11 hour stream examining the evidence, I invited on Smiley to tell his story, and I took heat at the time from groypers for being so fair and taking it seriously without being bias. Because it is serious. Smiley has never blamed Nick. The only people blaming Nick already want him dead and are hoping to trick you too. Please listen to the following recording of that interview from 2023:
