A 73 year-old man dressed as an ancient Greek warrior, runs an entire marathon barefoot to honor his ancestors... Heraklion native Idomeneas Avramakis once again amazed spectators and fellow runners at the Athens Authentic Marathon. At 73 years old, this retired regional employee, renowned for running in full ancient Athenian hoplite attire, completed the grueling 42km race in 8 hours and 47 minutes. This marked his 18th consecutive year honoring the legendary journey of Pheidippides in this historic costume. What sets Avramakis apart isnโ€™t just his dedication to tradition but his resilience. Running barefoot, even in harsh conditions, he overcame a harrowing car accident just 30 months ago that left him with a metal rod in his leg. Yet, with remarkable determination, he trained tirelessly to take part in this yearโ€™s marathon. โ€œIt's not about speed; itโ€™s about perseverance,โ€ Avramakis told Patrida newspaper. For him, the marathon is a celebration of human willpower, and every step is a reminder of his journey to overcome lifeโ€™s challenges. Avramakisโ€™s story is one of triumph over adversity. Eighteen years ago, a serious health crisis left him in intensive care for a month. This experience transformed his outlook, leading him to embrace barefoot runningโ€”a practice he now cherishes for the connection it gives him to nature and the elements. His passion for running has taken him far beyond Greece. From marathons in China to countless domestic races, Avramakis leaves a lasting impression wherever he goes. Admired for his persistence, courage, and infectious optimism, he is more than just a runner; heโ€™s a symbol of unwavering strength. At 73, Idomeneas Avramakis continues to inspire with every step he takes, proving that age, adversity, and even physical limitations are no match for a determined spirit. ยฉ The Archaeologist #archaeohistories

โš ๏ธ US-Terrorist Groups Coalition Plan For Iran The split-screen tells a story. On the left, a motorcade of MEK (or PMOI) vehicles rolls through Tehran. On the right, an Israeli propagandist walks viewers through a PJAK underground base tucked away in the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan. It would be easy, even tempting, to look at this and think: just a bunch of losers driving around the capital, or weirdos hiding in tunnels. Who cares? But that misses the point. For years, military analysts have said the same thing: no outside power is going to put boots on the ground in Iran. It's too big, too tough, too much of a quagmire. Fair enough. But what if they don't have to? What if the US attack on Iran coincide with 'peaceful protesters' taking it to the street to show their support for regime change in Iran?! After all, MSM told you that armed insurgents in western parts of Iran were mere peaceful protesters. Why wouldn't they do it again? That seems to be the job now quietly distributed among a network of armed groups on Iran's periphery: PJAK, PAK, the so-called National Kurdistan Army, the MEK, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), the merger of terror groups in South East Iran with Jaysh al-Adl. Each has its own baggage, its own ideology, its own patrons but together, they form something bigger: a patchwork proxy force that can bleed the Islamic Republic, when it's dealing with US bombing campaign, without a single foreign soldier crossing the border.

๐ŸŠtalking about why she doesnโ€˜t post his photos from set ๐ŸŠ: This was his first drama โ€žๅฐ†ๅ†›ๅœจไธ‹โ€œ. Itโ€˜s also after this drama that I practically have never posted photos from set again. I donโ€˜t know how to say it but he doesnโ€˜t really wish for people to be there, it doesnโ€˜t matter which set, just any drama set. Because we two have properly talked about this before and he told me not to post photos from on set anymore. Like now that heโ€˜s famous not everyone might listen to what heโ€˜s saying but back then it was just me alone, so if he told me something I would definitely listen to him. Back then he told me directly: โ€žOrange, I donโ€˜t have any experience in acting, if you were to be at set it would make me even more nervous. Maybe in the future donโ€˜t take photos on set anymore.โ€œ I would agree to his request for sure! Thereโ€˜s no way Iโ€˜d start bickering with him because he wonโ€˜t let me take some photos. He really was so nervous, really really nervous. I would never be like โ€žAh I came all the way already why wonโ€˜t you let me take some photosโ€œ I did think about it for a split second but after he explained to me I felt like he made a lot of sense and just left it at that. So since then whenever heโ€˜s at set I would just wait to send and get him off work, not taking any photos and also not posting about it. โ€” #Ziyu #ๆข“ๆธ เผ˜โ‹†โœฟ

And here it isโ€ฆ Trump has done it again. Something that was untouchable in American politics for decades is suddenly being said out loud. What was once absolute political taboo is now on everyoneโ€™s lips. For decades, criticizing Israel in American politics was essentially forbidden territory. Politicians might whisper about it privately, but no one would dare say it publicly. And yet suddenly, the tone is changingโ€ฆ Even Gavin Newsom, hardly a political outsider and not someone who would previously have ventured into this territory, recently acknowledged that critics were โ€œappropriatelyโ€ describing Israel as an apartheid state. He even suggested that the trajectory of Israelโ€™s leadership could eventually force the United States to reconsider its military support. Just a few weeks ago, statements like this would have been political suicide. So what changed? In my view, this may well be another example of the strange political alchemy that seems to follow Trump wherever he goes. Think back to the Epstein files. Democrats had access to those files for years, yet nothing happened; there was no urgency, no public pressure, and no appetite for disclosure. But the moment the media believed Trump might be implicated, suddenly everyone demanded their release. The spotlight only turned on when Trumpโ€™s name entered the frame. And I suspect something similar may be happening now. By appearing closely aligned with Netanyahu, Trump once again becomes the lightning rod. The media and his political opponents cannot resist attacking him, and in doing so they are forced to shine a spotlight on something that had long been avoided: Israelโ€™s extraordinary influence over U.S. politics. And then something even more revealing happenedโ€ฆ Marco Rubio openly stated that Washington knew Israel was about to strike Iran, and that the U.S. acted first because that attack would have triggered retaliation on American forces. Think about what that implies for a momentโ€ฆ If the United States must act militarily because Israel is about to actโ€ฆ who is actually driving the sequence of events? For decades this dynamic has existed quietly in the background. Now people are openly asking questions that were once unthinkable: why are American taxpayers funding Israelโ€™s wars? Why should the United States be dragged into conflicts that many Americans do not want? Whether people support Israel or oppose it is almost beside the point. What matters is that the conversation โ€” the forbidden one โ€” is finally happening in the open. Trump has always acted like a lightning rod for the spotlight. Wherever he stands, the entire media apparatus turns its cameras. He seems to understand that the fastest way to expose something that has been hidden for decades is sometimes to stand directly beneath the lightning and let it strike, even if heโ€™s the one taking the blow. And perhaps that is precisely the point. Exposing the unhealthy nature of Israelโ€™s relationship with the United States may be the only way to make the public see it clearly enough to demand that it change, because only when that happens could any leader realistically put an end to it.

Did you hear Danielle Smith wants to privatize your local hospital? She wants to take hospitals away from AHS and hand them over to other people to run. Maybe Covenant Health, maybe someone else. Nobody knows. Remember, the UCP privatized lab services in 2020 and it was a disaster. Endless waits to get an appointment, even longer waits to get results, and doctors sounding the alarm about mistakes in tests. Eventually the UCP had to reverse the whole thing at a massive cost. It was a dangerous and expensive failure, and thatโ€™s what Smith wants to try with hospitals. Let me tell you why I'm concerned. The Premier doesnโ€™t understand healthcare, hospitals, or how competition works. Sheโ€™s barely said a word about her plans for AHS since announcing that she's going to break it up. Instead, we hear these drips and drabs at members-only meetings in the lead-up to Smithโ€™s UCP leadership review. Second, she said she wants a health care system that is ruled by โ€œcompetition and fear.โ€ This is bizarre, and itโ€™s not going to work. Systems that are based on fear will inevitably collapse and those incentives donโ€™t work in public service delivery. The folks at Covenant Health do amazing work right across the province every day, but we must recognize that Covenant facilities do not offer the full range of healthcare that Albertans expect, particularly in reproductive health and end of life issues. And despite what the Premier said, Covenant has been forced to shutter some of their emergency rooms, just as AHS has, because they have the same problem โ€“ a UCP government that is hostile to healthcare professionals. Changing the sign outside doesnโ€™t create new doctors. Even if Tyler Shandro is on the board. Maybe Smith is just musing and saying the first thing that she thinks will please the person sheโ€™s talking to. Again. The problem is when youโ€™re Premier, people work to turn your musings into reality. Iโ€™m concerned Smith is taking us down a path she hasnโ€™t thought through at all. We need a government that is competent. That is not ideological, that does not make up its plans on the fly to save itself. We need better, and thatโ€™s what Albertaโ€™s New Democrats promise.

Pakistan and Afghanistan are teetering on the brink of war, while behind them, the U.S. and China clash over rare earth metals Videos circulating online show ancient Soviet missiles โ€” R-17 (SCUD B) and 9M21F (โ€œLuna-M,โ€ FROG-7) โ€” being transported along Afghan roads. These relics date back to the Soviet-backed DRA era. In reality, theyโ€™re little more than scrap metal, yet the Taliban continue parading them to showcase โ€œstrengthโ€ โ€” even though decades of exposure have made them more dangerous to their own crews than to any enemy. After Pakistanโ€™s airstrikes on Kabul and Khost on October 9, Afghanistan retaliated for the first time in years โ€” hitting Lahore. Dozens killed, hundreds wounded, and multiple border posts seized. The conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan has once again ignited along an old colonial scar โ€” the Durand Line. This border, drawn in 1893 by British diplomat Mortimer Durand, literally split the Pashtun lands in two. The Afghan emir was given no real choice โ€” the agreement was forced upon him under threat of war. As a result, Afghanistan lost part of its historic territory, and the Pashtuns were divided: families, tribes, and entire clans found themselves on opposite sides of the new line. When British India was partitioned in 1947, Pakistan inherited the border, but Afghanistan has never recognized it as legitimate, viewing it as a symbol of colonial injustice. Disputes over โ€œPashtunistanโ€ โ€” a united land for the Pashtun people โ€” have dragged on for decades, periodically erupting into armed clashes. Todayโ€™s escalation along the Durand Line is more than just another border skirmish โ€” itโ€™s yet another reminder of how 19th-century colonial maps keep exploding well into the 21st century. Meanwhile, the U.S. and China have entered the geopolitical fray. The escalation on the Afghan-Pakistani border has โ€œcoincidentallyโ€ aligned with another round of the U.S.โ€“China trade war. After Pakistan signed a $500 million deal with the U.S. company US Strategic Metals to mine rare earth elements โ€” critical for American defense industries, from F-35s to missile systems โ€” China effectively lost its monopoly over one of the largest potential suppliers. Now, starting December 1, Beijing is introducing export licenses for rare earth extraction technologies โ€” a move that directly hits Islamabad, since Pakistanโ€™s deposits rely on Chinese equipment. Beijing has rejected accusations of pressuring Pakistan, insisting that the new export control measures on rare earths are โ€œnot directed at any specific country.โ€ Officially, China claims itโ€™s about โ€œdomestic regulation,โ€ but in reality itโ€™s a show of who still controls the global rare earth market.

The US spent decades trying to break John D. Rockefeller, and the day it finally won, it turned him into the most powerful man in history. At his peak, his fortune was worth close to 2% of the entire American economy. He got there by taking control of 90% of all the oil in America, the one resource the entire economy ran on. And right now a small group of companies controls AI, search, and the cloud, and Washington is once again talking about breaking them apart. Rockefeller already ran this exact "experiment" a hundred years ago. Here's how it ended and what it tells us about the current AI situation: He started with a single oil refinery in Cleveland in the 1860s, and within about 20 years he had swallowed almost the entire industry. When people finally figured out how he did it, the country was horrified. Everyone assumes Rockefeller won because he made cheaper oil. But what he actually did was turn the railroads into a weapon against everyone else. Rockefeller shipped more oil than anyone in the country, so he squeezed the railroads for secret discounts on every barrel he moved. Then he took it somewhere nobody else dared... He cut a deal called a drawback: - Every time a competitor shipped a barrel of oil, the railroad charged them full price - Then the railroad handed a slice of that payment straight to Rockefeller - His rivals were paying a fee that funded the man trying to destroy them - And most of them had no idea it was even happening That deal lived inside a scheme called the South Improvement Company in 1872. When word leaked, the public outrage was so loud the railroads scrapped it within weeks. But it did not matter. Rockefeller had already used the threat. In a matter of weeks in 1872, he pressured 23 refiners in Cleveland into selling out to him. Historians still call it the Cleveland Massacre. After that, his playbook barely changed. He would slash his prices in a town until the local refiner went bankrupt, buy the wreckage for pennies, then push the prices right back up. Refiner by refiner, city by city, he took the entire industry. Then a journalist named Ida Tarbell went after him: Her own father had been one of the small oilmen Rockefeller crushed. Starting in 1902, she published an investigation in McClure's magazine that laid out every rebate, every drawback, and every dirty tactic in brutal detail. For the first time, the public saw exactly how the empire had been built. And the government finally moved. In 1911, the Supreme Court ruled that Standard Oil was an illegal monopoly and ordered it broken into 34 separate companies. It was supposed to be the end of him. But the breakup made Rockefeller richer than he had EVER been. He still owned a giant stake in every one of those 34 new companies. Set free to compete in their own regions, the pieces were suddenly worth more apart than they had ever been together. The value of his holdings roughly DOUBLED. By 1916, John D. Rockefeller became the first billionaire in history. The government had spent years trying to strip him of his power, and the punishment handed him the biggest fortune the world had ever seen. And those 34 companies never went away either. They grew into Exxon, Chevron, Mobil, and Amoco, the core of what we now call Big Oil. Exxon alone is worth more than $600 billion today. Standard Oil did not actually die in 1911. Its pieces just kept getting bigger. Which brings us back to now: The government wants to run it all over again, this time against the companies that own AI. They already convinced a judge that Google runs an illegal monopoly over search, and it has pushed to carve the company apart. Amazon, Apple, and Meta are each fighting antitrust cases of their own. Everyone assumes a breakup would finally cut these giants down to size. History says the opposite tends to happen. When you shatter a monopoly, the founders and the big shareholders do not lose a thing. They walk away owning a slice of every company that falls out of it. Each of those pieces gets set loose to grow in its own lane, and the market re-prices them one by one. The parts almost always end up worth more than the whole ever was. Rockefeller's fortune doubled after 1911. Then it happened AGAIN... In 1984, the government broke AT&T into seven Baby Bells to end the phone monopoly. Within about 20 years, those pieces had merged back into two giants, AT&T and Verizon, that now pull in more than $260 billion a year between them and dominate the market all over again. Investors who simply held the pieces saw their stake climb more than 600% in the years that followed. So when you hear that Washington is coming for the companies that own AI, remember what happened the last two times. The monopoly did not die. It split into pieces, the pieces got bigger, and the people who owned them got richer.

Terrified Chicago restaurant owner pleads for help after string of senseless attacks on staff at burger joint | Sonya Gugliara, Daily Mail The owner of a Chicago burger joint has begged for the liberal city's help after mobs of teens wreaked havoc on the restaurant and senselessly attacked one of her employees. Jackie Jackson, the owner of a Fatburger in Chatham, a neighborhood in the city's South Side, has broken her silence about the outrageous incidents that destroyed her store and left one of her employees, Aaron Burns, 18, terrified. Above all, she said she is infuriated that the city's police have failed to intervene. Shocking security footage from one of the December 2024 ambushes shows a group of teens - some wearing masks to conceal their faces - breaking into the eatery's kitchen to fight Burns. The unsuspecting worker was seen being confronted by the group before one of its members, wearing a tan hoodie, started swinging at him. The altercation traveled through the kitchen as other teens joined in. Horrified employees were seen filing out of the room as screams were heard in the background. Other workers unsuccessfully attempted to de-escalate the situation. Video captured of another incident, a few weeks later, shows teens hopping over the front counter to enter the kitchen. In the corner of the video, a man witnessing the chaos seemingly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the teens, yelling, 'Get the f**k out of here!' No one has been charged in relation to the catastrophic events and Chicago police are still investigating the string of attacks, ABC 7 reported. Burns told the outlet he believed the unprompted assault stemmed from a fight at his high school that he was not involved in. He suspects the group went after him because they thought he was somehow involved. 'I didn't have no conversation with them, so I don't even know why I was brought into it,' Burns told ABC 7. 'I was just shocked because I couldn't believe they came up in here to fight me and I ain't have nothing to do with it.' Jackson, still fuming over the unjust incident, released a social media statement about it on September 8. 'Twice in December, chaos walked into my brand-new Fatburger,' Jackson wrote, adding that a shoulder injury had prevented her from intervening. 'The first time, a group stormed in and went after my teenage staff. Most of my team ran for safety, but one of my kids was attacked and had no choice but to defend himself. A few weeks later, another group jumped the counter. 'I watched on camera numb, helpless, and heartbroken.' Jackson thanked the man seen pulling out a gun in the footage, as she said he helped get the assailants out of the store. But she said that what pained her the most was the lack of police involvement. 'What makes it even worse: the police never followed up. One of the kids even dropped his ID, which was given to them, yet no follow-up ever came,' she wrote. 'That silence hurt almost as much as the attack itself.' The Daily Mail has reached out to South Side Chicago police for comment. Jackson had to invest in an eight-inch metal rod iron fence, heavy security doors and a 'high-tech surveillance system.' Now, she is calling upon her community to hold the culprits - and the city -accountable. 'How dare they come into my business and put my team at risk?' Jackson asked ABC 7. 'They scared customers off, I was so frustrated.' Despite being targeted at work, Burns has remained a loyal and diligent employee. But due to safety concerns, he has been taking Ubers to and from work for all of his shifts. Community organizer Early Walker caught wind of the situation on social media and decided to step in to help ease Burns' burden. During a Friday press conference, Walker presented Burns with a $4,000 check, funded by local business E&R Towing, to help him cover the costs of his work trips. 'The fact that he stayed working here. He didn't let this deter him,' the organizer told ABC 7. 'Kids do want to work and be productive, and Aaron was a prime example of that.'

Part 1: There's many people, particularly Testosteronies and Meat Heads, trying to do their "analysis" on the "gunshot" and all they do is prove they're just as captured and controlled as they like 99.9% of moving mouths on Social Media, do not know a single word from a single line from a single paragraph from a single Law or Order currently invoked. There's all kinds of "scenarios"... You'll hear: Guy with gun under arm. Guy in the corner, elevated, to his right. Guy on the front with hand on metal security fencing. And now a Crayon eating Marine Corps Veteran, claiming to be a Sniper, saying that was an Exit Wound seen on camera, which meant the shot came from behind. Not only do the nimrods spewing all that nonsense not breakdown the intricacies of the videos displayed to the public... but they also do not breakdown the Laws and Orders surrounding everything taking place because they do NOT know ANY of those. God forbid there's a Blueprint of unique Laws and Orders that more than clearly outline 45โ€”โ€”โ€”47 as a Strategic and Special Operation with Unconventional and Irregular Warfare with unique Strategies and Tactics to liberate the United States of America aka Drain the Swamp as prescribed in our Rights and Duties in the Declaration of Independence. CK started using Tents with Backdrops and Platforms under tent from earliest accounts in 2024, as seen on TPUSA Instagram posts. The under arm gun, immediately in front, and elevated to top right, are automatically ruled out due to what was shown on TV and Social Media as the "wound" was to the front left neck. The Marine Corps Sniper claiming the "shot" was an "exit wound," meaning the shot would come from behind... clearly didn't study much of anything... didnโ€™t eat his Fuchsia crayon. The video showing the "evacuation"... One, showed the alleyway full of vehicles. Two, a "shooter" from the back, would have to know where CK was sitting, and shot through the backdrop. Three, when you study the photo given by ALL Media, CK was sitting where his chair was immediately to the left of cement pillars of the building behind the backdrop tent and shadows show vehicles to the left of the pillar. Which means a "shooter" from the back would have had to shoot from ground level under the building through vehicles and a pillar through a backdrop and know that CK was elevated on a platform under the tent. This is why details matter. Now, let's review the visuals on Sept. 10, again: Mainstream Media reporting 200 yard shot before a shooter or location identified. Tent placed in the middle of buildings. Tent placed right beside a 'Hatch Door' to underground escape. Man looking like 3rd Base Coach using hand gestures from nose to ears simultaneous CK doing the same gestures. Central Casting audience as they crouched down until told to run. Zero Graphic Content Censorship of Actual Footage Video circulating on Social Media. To date, that footage is still not censored as Graphic Content. Mark from shirt that moved from shirt to collar to neck as the "bullet hole." Still holding microphone upright in a chair with zero arms after a jugular โ€œshot.โ€ The MSM Expert Doctor says "immediate death"... which would mean automatic dead weight... NOT nerves telling hand to keep holding a microphone up near head sitting upright in a chair with no arms. Zero blood stains on shirt from every single angle taken via MSM. Zero blood flowed anywhere beyond chest via โ€œblood gushing out.โ€ Slow the video down and you'll see "blood" splattering HORIZONTALLY with the footage showing the blood did not land on any surface to create a new direction. Wedding Ring clearly moves from ring finger to pinky finger. Chair goes through the table... Guy's head goes through the camera (after "shot")... The Live Video side angle as posted by pundit David Harris Jr. shows ZERO blood as the front angle shows "bursting" forward as an old school water pipe in the yard.

What's next for OpenTUI? Here's a technical write-up. Over the last few months OpenTUI gained a lot of stability improvements, new unnecessary but fun features like live audio streaming, and useful features like rendering to the scrollback buffer mixed with a live TUI, called footer mode. Overall the feature set enables building large and complex applications. React and Solid make it super simple and convenient. There is still so much to do though. Three big milestones we have set out to achieve are: - Moving most of the behavioural logic currently living in TypeScript down to the native Zig core - Node compatibility - Optimizing the hell out of primitives like text rendering The render tree mechanisms are currently only usable from TypeScript. Think of the DOM, but controllable like a scene graph. Elements in the render tree are called renderables. They can expose a render method to draw themselves. All renderables are derived from a BaseRenderable. Renderables and the render tree will become native primitives. Building blocks usable from any language bindings. Reducing the TypeScript bindings to a very thin layer, with all the behavioural logic living in the native binary. Moving this down is not just a matter of porting TypeScript classes to Zig. TypeScript currently owns the tree, dirty-state propagation, layout reads, culling, and render ordering. If it still has to walk every node and call into native code for each step, we keep most of the complexity and add FFI overhead. Whole passes and their state need to move together. We took a big step towards this recently by building yoga-layout into the native binary. It exposes part of the official yoga-layout TypeScript package via FFI. Only the API surface that is actually used by OpenTUI. Covered by the test suite of the original yoga-layout package. This already gave a median speedup of ~2.5x, and up to 30x for narrow scenarios. The yoga-layout integration is useful beyond the speedup. Built-in text and editor measurement can now happen entirely in native code during layout instead of calling back into JavaScript. I ran an experiment last month taking this even further, having GPT 5.6 port yoga-layout from C++ to Zig, which gave extremely good results. It would be a burden to maintain right now though, so that's off the table for now. I might come back to it. Simon Klee is working relentlessly on Node compatibility and already has a full Node version of OpenCode running. Node got FFI support in v26.4.0, thanks to help from the Node community, namely Matteo Collina and Paolo Insogna. Behaviour and interfaces seem similar between Node and Bun, but there are some major differences. To get the best performance out of the Node FFI implementation, its usage has to follow some rules. Node has three ways to call native functions: the generic C++/libffi path, the SharedBuffer path, and the V8 Fast API. The generic path converts every argument in Node's C++ layer and then calls the function through libffi. It is flexible, but also the slowest option for frequently called functions. The SharedBuffer path is a middle ground. JavaScript writes scalar values and BigInt pointers into a small per-function buffer, reducing some conversion work. The actual native call still goes through libffi though. Typed arrays used as pointers cannot be packed into this buffer and fall back to the generic path. The path we really want is the V8 Fast API. Node generates a small machine-code trampoline for the exact function signature, allowing optimized JavaScript to call the native function without going through the generic converter or libffi. This only applies to JavaScript-to-native calls. Callbacks from native code into JavaScript still use libffi closures. Getting onto this path is quite strict. A signature can have at most eight arguments and everything must fit into CPU registers. x86-64 Unix systems have room for six GP (general-purpose) and eight FP (floating-point) arguments. AArch64 has room for seven GP and eight FP arguments. Anything that spills onto the stack falls back to a slower path. These are Node fast-path restrictions, not general FFI restrictions. Bun also does not support passing structs by value through its current FFI API. OpenTUI uses bun-ffi-structs to pack ABI-aligned struct data into an ArrayBuffer and passes a pointer instead. Despite the name, the package also works with Node. Pointers need some care too. Typed arrays and ArrayBuffers normally have to be resolved into BigInt addresses first. Eligible functions with exactly one pointer argument get another Fast API entrypoint that can extract the address directly from the buffer. An eligible signature is still not enough. V8 has to optimize a direct call with a fixed number of consistently typed arguments. Wrappers that collect arguments and forward them using spread or Reflect.apply can hide that call shape and keep the function on a slower path. The practical rules are: keep hot signatures within register limits, use direct fixed-arity calls with stable argument types, reuse owned buffers safely, and batch small operations. Then measure the real call site, because eligibility only makes a function fast-capable. We have to design the ABI around these constraints where it makes sense and gives the expected performance improvement. The third big area is text rendering. Today a Text renderable accepts a string, StyledText, or a tree of TextNodes. Before rendering, the TextNode tree is walked and flattened into styled chunks. Those chunks are packed in TypeScript, sent through FFI, copied into a native TextBuffer, and stored in a rope. Styles are represented separately as highlights. A TextBufferView then wraps the rope into visual lines, which are drawn into the visible buffer. This works, but updates are much more expensive than they should be. setStyledText effectively throws away and rebuilds the rope, copies and reparses all text and recreates the style highlights. Changing one TextNode also walks and flattens the complete tree before going through this path again. Text and style segments should instead live directly in the rope and support incremental replacement. Memory ownership is split between retained JavaScript buffers, the native memory registry, rope arenas, wrapping caches, styled-text storage, and highlights. Different operations preserve or reset different parts of that state. This is hard to reason about and can retain memory for much longer than expected. Text storage needs clearer ownership, with fewer lifetimes split across JavaScript and native code. The public API reflects the same split. The t template literal is convenient, but creates another intermediate chunk representation that is mutable, not cached, and not merged. Text also maintains both StyledText content and a special TextNode tree, which do not compose properly. TextNode is only a style scope, not a normal layout primitive, so Text renderables cannot naturally compose inside each other. I think this should become one Text primitive backed directly by rope segments. The template literal API might disappear or become a very thin helper around those native segments. Editing has another temporary layer in TypeScript. Extmarks currently monkey-patch editing operations, scan and adjust all marks after changes, maintain their own undo state, and recreate native highlights. They should become native marks anchored directly in the rope. A proper mark tree, similar to Neovim's marktree, could update marks together with edits, undo, and redo, and provide the foundation for highlights and concealment. Text wrapping has also become too complex. Supporting CJK, emoji, combining characters, ZWJ sequences, tabs, and different terminal width rules currently mixes byte offsets, grapheme indexes, and display-cell columns across several custom algorithms. Dirty views rewrap the complete document. Measurement and drawing can repeat some of the same work. The wrapping implementation needs an overhaul, but the exact shape is still open. The goal is to make Unicode handling easier to maintain, avoid repeated full-document work, and clearly separate byte offsets, graphemes, and terminal display cells. None of this will happen as one big rewrite. We will replace pieces when we understand the problem well enough and when the result is clearly simpler, faster, or more useful. To achieve all of this we might break public interfaces. Thanks to OpenCode and a lot of good models, migration to a new version with breaking changes mostly is not an issue anymore. What do you want to see next for OpenTUI?

โ€˜Doctor Deathโ€™ Gives Life to Gold Mines Dave Fennell chain-smoked and studied law while winning 6 Grey Cups. He sent 3 quarterbacks to the hospital in one game, becoming 'Dr. Death' and a household name in Canada. Next Dave turned to gold exploration, building 5 ventures worth ~$5 billion. He's never shared his story publiclyโ€”until now. After dominating football, Dave Fennell's Midas touch in Guyana could lead to his greatest victory. Mining legends Louis Gignac, Rick Rule and others weigh in. "I was capable of playing very violently," recalls Fennell. "If you're going to survive as a defensive lineman. The people who are opposite you, have to be afraid of you." He played 10 seasons for the Edmonton Eskimos (renamed Elks in โ€˜21), appearing in 8 Grey Cups (Canadaโ€™s Super Bowl). The Eskimos won 6, including 5 in a row 1978-1982. Fennell, who turned 71 Feb 4, is chain smoking Marlboros on a Zoom call with me Feb 5. Heโ€™s reflecting on a career that spans beyond the gridiron to golden ventures. His resume includes co-founding Golden Star (US $467M sale in โ€˜22) and Miramar ($1.5B sale in โ€˜08). Fennell was a tenured director of Sabina ($1.1B sale in โ€˜23) and Torex ($1.2B market cap). His Reunion Gold ($485M market cap) has rapidly discovered a major gold deposit after setbacks. Fennell's sons picked up his drive too. David Jr. played Michigan State football then turned engineer. John raced luge at the Sochi Winter Olympics, now he's a corporate analyst. โ€“ Raised in a middle-class Edmonton, Alberta family, Fennell was the second of four children. โ€œI was taught very early on, you're not allowed to quit when you start something. It was not acceptable.โ€ He completed a 4 year undergrad degree at U of North Dakota in 3 years. Fennell could have gone to the NFL, but chose to stay in Edmonton, joining the Eskimos on the condition heโ€™d also go to law school. It's hard to imagine a pro athlete smoking, studying law, and winning six championships today. But Dave Fennell did it all. He planned to play pro for 10 seasons, and wondered, โ€œWhat do you do when the cheering stops?โ€ Joining a law firm next, the bosses leveraged his "Dr. Death" fame for networking. Fennell recalls, โ€œThey loved taking me to the Petroleum Club on Mondays.โ€ His law practice worked with many small miners. After three years and a Guyana field trip, Fennell decided to get into gold mining himself. At 32, Fennell founded Golden Star Resources (GSR). He partnered with Roger Morton, a U of Alberta geology professor, to explore Guyana. GSR spent $20K staking the forgotten Omai gold deposit. โ€œIt was open ground.โ€ Anaconda Copper explored Omai extensively in the late 1940s but stopped when the Korean War began. Secrets of the Anaconda Library A private detective helped Fennell find Anacondaโ€™s geological data. They learned of a cavernous library in Montana, holding 100 years of records. A librarian, just laid off, liked Fennell and sold him the Guyana files for $30K. GSR hired SNC Lavalin, with their top supercomputer, to process this historical information. It showed a big potential mine. Placer Dome partnered on Omai in โ€˜87, before walking away. Fennell didn't give up. He invited Louis Gignacโ€™s Cambior to visit Omai during a 3 day rainstorm. Cambior ended up funding construction for a 70% stake. It produced 3.7 million gold ounces from 92-05. Renowned mining investor Rick Rule says Fennell is easy to underestimate. "The physicality obscures a great intellect and a guy that's actually very kind. He's the classic entrepreneur. When he sees an opportunity, he can't not grasp it.โ€ Next, GSR pursued Cambior to partner in Suriname. โ€œIf I had a mine each time someone told me a story about a property, I'd be a very rich man,โ€ Gignac says. GSRโ€™s Rosebel discovery was in region reeling after Surinameโ€™s civil war. โ€œDavid, why donโ€™t you settle down, get married, do something easier than this,โ€ Gignac advised him. Fennell persisted, inviting Gignac to tour Rosebel. It poured rain again on that trip, which Gignac saw as a good omen after Omaiโ€™s success. Cambior eventually built the mine. Rosebel became one of South Americaโ€™s largest, yielding over 6 million ounces. Today, itโ€™s operated by Zijin. GSR stock jumped 600% in the early '90s thanks to these wins. Investor Mike Halvorson says GSRโ€™s work in the Guianas and Suriname put the area on the map for mining. โ€œBack in those days, from a political point of view, it was considered high-risk to go into the Guianas,โ€ Gignac remembers. โ€œIt took a lot of guts for [Fennell] to get involved, and a lot of guts to follow him there. We eventually mined about twice the [initial] reserves at Omai. By doing Omai, it was that much easier to do Rosebel. We were comfortable with the region and its people. There's a lot of advantages in these countries. It's simpler. Decision makers are easier to know and be in contact with.โ€ Halvorson remembers Fennell throwing a 'chirping' analyst into a pool on one Suriname stay. The guy skipped on the water like a stone. Fennell and Halvorson connected in Edmonton in the 1980s through their love of migratory bird hunting. โ€œAnything that walks, flies or swims, Dave has killed,โ€ says mining engineer Bruce McLeod, who hunts and fishes with Fennell. A massive Anaconda snake skin once adorned the crown mouldings in Fennellโ€™s Montreal offices. At 41, Fennell lucked out as the sole bidder for Sigrist House, once King Edward VIII's Bahamian villa. Fennell lived there 28 years before downsizing. In the late 90โ€™s, Fennell clashed with GSR's board and was pushed out. Later, GSR refocused on Africa and was sold to a Chinese company. To avoid GSR conflicts, Fennell eyed new gold regions. BHP's Hugo Dummett offered him all their gold assets for $80 million. But with few flush bidders, BHP sold the portfolio in pieces. Ivanhoe got Mongolia and discovered Oyu Tolgoi. Randgold took West Africa, and Harmony got East Africa. "If you'd have kept that package together, it'd be the second largest copper company [today]. And you'd be arguing with Newmont about who was the biggest gold company," Fennell says. He bought the Canadian assets for US $20.4 million. It had Hope Bay, a 4 million ounce gold discovery in the high arctic. Fennell dealt through Cambiex Exploration (CBX), where heโ€™d been appointed Chair and CEO in January โ€˜99, when CBX was a 15 cent stock with a $3.5 million market cap. CBX split the tab with Miramar, a modest gold miner sitting on cash. Miramar swallowed CBX in 2002, appointing Fennell Executive Vice Chairman. Miramar invested about $100 million in Hope Bay and led it through permitting. In 2008, Newmont bought Miramar for $1.5 billion. Every $1 invested in CBXโ€™s equity funding when Fennell took over in early โ€˜99 was worth $19.50 when Newmont acquired Miramar 9 years later. CBX shareholders made even more money through a spinout company, Ariane Gold, acquired by Cambior in โ€˜03. Rob McLeod, a geologist at Hope Bay, admired Fennell's strong presence, humour, and optimism. Fennell built bonds with Inuit partners through fishing and Crib games, easing the permitting process. Fennell would need that optimism for his next venture. โ€“ In 2004, Fennell listed Nevada explorer New Sleeper. A name change to Reunion Gold (RGD) came in 2006, after recruiting former GSR colleagues and pivoting again to the Giuanas. The stock ran from 30 cents to over $2 in early โ€˜07 on the back of a Suriname gold find. It didnโ€™t pan out. RGD crashed to 3.5 cents during the โ€˜08 financial crisis. โ€œWhen you take your shareholder's money and you say you're going to do this, and if it's not successful, my job is to fix that and I'm not going to roll all the stock back. I'm not going to wipe shareholders out,โ€ Fennell says, explaining RGDโ€™s current 1.23 billion shares. Reunion roared back above $2 again after a Guyana manganese discovery. Then, metal prices crashed, cutting RGD to one penny by 2016. โ€œYou're going to fail a hundred percent guaranteed in both exploration and football,โ€ Fennell says. โ€œThe real question is, what are you going to do after you fail?โ€ A US $10 million sale of the manganese project provided a lifeline. In 2019, Barrick partnered with Reunion on exploration, committing $4.2 million. Reunion was a 7 cent stock in 2020 when they found gold at Guyanaโ€™s Oko project. But, Barrick quickly abandoned the alliance and skipped a $3 million commitment. They even sued Reunion after Oko's success. In 2023, Barrick and RGD settled, owing nothing to each other. Oko moved from a prospect to a major gold deposit rapidly. An initial 2023 resource estimate showed 4.3 million ounces (indicated plus inferred). Fennell believes Oko could be the best gold mine in South America. He sees a 300--400,000 ounce per year, low-cost mine, with a 12 year initial mine life. "Itโ€™s going to be much bigger and longer,โ€ Fennell says, optimistically. โ€œWhether we're going to live longer is a whole different question." Reunion aims to publish a PEA study on Oko before Summer. Fennell also looks forward to a feasibility study and final permits in Q1 2015, with construction to start soon after. "From a discovery to a tier one mine in [potentially] six years, it doesn't get any better," Fennell says. Heโ€™s in Georgetown this week, talking with the Guyanese government about Oko's future. Reunionโ€™s looking at options: build, sell, merge, or partner up. Fennell wants RGD to avoid execution risk and debt. G Mining Services, led by Fennell's old friend Gignac, is advising on Oko. They've successfully built many mines, like Fruta del Norte in Ecuador (Lundin Gold - $3.7B market cap). Gignac's G Mining Ventures, doing well and on track in Brazil, could be a key player in Oko's future. โ€œThere will be a mine [at Oko]. There's absolutely no question,โ€ says Gignac. โ€œThe size, grade, and gold content. That's going to be the next one to put on his record.โ€ Thereโ€™s a slight problem with Venezuelaโ€™s claim over Guyanaโ€™s Essequibo region, where Oko is. Fennell isn't worried. He says the US will protect it because of Exxon and Chevronโ€™s huge oil investments there. Gignac says Fennell hasn't changed since they first met in the late 80s. "Always glass half-full, always enthusiastic. A track record as good as anybody at finding deals, doing exploration, and developing orebodies." Fennell is honest and a consummate salesman according to Rule. โ€œI don't think in 35 years he ever lied to me, but he would polish the living shit out of the rear view mirror.โ€ Some colourful highlights of my 2 hour Zoom with Mr. Fennell were published in raw video form below. Itโ€™s full of wisdom about gold exploration and football. โ€œDavid is one of the most low key and commercially successful entrepreneurs in [mining],โ€ Bruce McLeod wrote. โ€œHe has played a huge part in mentoring others too. Without David I wouldn't be where I am today.โ€ Fennell says, "We always overcome challenges. I never give up." Reunion Gold (RGD-TSXV) is worth $485 million at press time, last at 39.5 cents. Fennell owns 61 million RGD shares. He has warrants and options to purchase 12.6 million more. B. McLeod, Rule & Halvorson all own the stock. All figures CAD unless otherwise indicated.

๐Ÿ“ข SOUNDING THE ALARM FOR AMERICANS AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ๐Ÿšจ 500 people walk into church on Sunday ๐Ÿ‘€ Their phones are captured the second they pull into the parking lot. No app needed. No WiFi needed. No Bluetooth needed. Your location services are on and that is all this operation requires to pull your device identity, your movement patterns, and your behavioral data into a database you never consented to and will never be told exists. By Sunday afternoon those 500 people went to lunch, ran errands, met up with family and friends. Their devices made contact with thousands of other phones belonging to people who never went to church that day. 500 becomes 5,000. Monday morning those same 500 churchgoers go to work. Their devices are now in proximity with an entirely new set of contacts. 5,000 becomes 50,000. By Wednesday the tertiary sweep is complete. People who have never set foot inside a church, people who have never prayed a day in their life, are now inside this database because they sat next to someone at a coffee shop who works with someone who had lunch with someone who went to church on Sunday morning. One church. One Sunday. 500 people. Becomes a city-wide surveillance dragnet by Wednesday. ๐Ÿ’€ This is not happening at one church. This is happening at 303 named megachurches simultaneously every single week. The targets are not random. They are listed specifically by name in a federal filing sitting on a DOJ website right now that fewer than 1% of Americans will ever read. FARA registration 7653. Show Faith by Works. $4.1 million contract. The largest Christian church geofencing campaign in United States history. Filed legally. Hiding in plain sight. ๐Ÿ˜ค Now here is where Pam Bondi enters this story and why it matters enormously. Pam Bondi is the current Attorney General of the United States. The top law enforcement officer in the country. The person who runs the very department where every single one of these FARA registrations is filed and is supposed to be enforced. Before she took that job she was a registered foreign agent herself. FARA registration 6415. Filed July 23rd 2019. She lobbied the United States Congress on behalf of the Embassy of the State of Qatar. Her signature. Her disclosure. Her filing in the same DOJ database she now controls. On her first days running the Department of Justice she gutted FARA enforcement. The unit responsible for prosecuting undisclosed foreign agents operating on American soil was effectively dismantled. The cop assigned to watch the door walked in, took the badge off the wall, and handed it to the people she used to work for. ๐Ÿ˜ค So when you ask why 14 to 18 American influencers are taking up to $7,000 per post from a foreign government through Bridges Partners LLC FARA 7652 without a single disclosure label on their content, the answer is that the person responsible for prosecuting that violation used to be one of them. When you ask why Brad Parscale's Clocktower X LLC is under a $6 to $9 million contract to seed ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok with manipulated content on behalf of a foreign government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and nobody in Washington is moving on it, the answer is the same. The sheriff is compromised. The filing cabinet is full. The evidence is public. And the person whose job it is to act on it spent years doing exactly what these registrants are doing right now. ๐Ÿ”ฅ They filed everything legally because they believed nobody would read it. I read it. Every registration. Every dollar amount. Every named target. Organized and searchable Americans For Non-Profit Transparency Organization's website which is pinned in my bio right now- for free. FARA was created in 1938 because Nazi propaganda agents were operating inside America. Congress said never again and built a law requiring disclosure. The woman now running that law's enforcement agency used to file under it on behalf of a foreign government. Receipts over drama. Facts over narrative. "I have the receipts and I convey the facts. Shame on those committing these atrocities against America as betrayers to your oath to protect and serve." -Danks Comment below if you align with that statement ๐Ÿ‘† ๐Ÿฅ‹

Iran war, day 136 | The SOH remains closed, and now the IRGC is threatening to shut down the Bab Al-Mandab straight! The IRGC warns that having already shut down oil and gas export routes from the SOH, the enemy should now expect additional energy corridors โ€” beyond the SOH โ€” to be closed, targeting routes that serve US and allied interests. Recall when Trump thought he could offer security services at the SOH and charge 20% fees? The 32 year old St. Kitts and Nevis flagged Bulk Carrier Luni on its way to UAE was hit and sunk by Iran! Video below -hull fracture that split it in two near Bandar Abbas. -Per US Central Command Commander: Iran attacked 7 commercial ships in 7 days, killing, missing, or injuring about 12 of their crew members. -and Trump thought he could play gatekeeper in the Persian gulf! -he already changed his mind and his back to taking GCC bribes CENTCOM announces completion of its latest 7-hours strike on Iran following the resumption of Trumpโ€™s bogus blockade: โ€ขBandar Abbas, Sirik, Bampur, SOH, Ahvaz, Qeshm island, Chabahar were hit U.S. CENTCOM completed an additional round of strikes against Iran at 10 p.m. ET, July 14, hitting dozens of military targets near the SOH and Iranian coastal areas. U.S. fighter aircraft, drones, and naval vessels launched precision munitions against Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and coastal defense systems during the seven-hour wave to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping and civilian crews. The reality: - US targeting of a mineral water production unit in Musian, Ilam, Iran. -the also hit a wheat warehouse But Trump said Iran has no army, no navy, no Air Force, no leadership and communications! Go figure! How did Iran respond? The IRGC targeted and destroyed a warehouse belonging to Kuwait and Gulf Link Holding Company (KGL) in Mina Abdullah, describing it as the primary U.S. Army logistics and support hub in West Asia. The IRGC added that its retaliatory operations are ongoing and warned that the SOH will remain closed until the end of U.S. aggression. -Iran continued wiping out U.S. assets in Bahrain and Kuwait -the U.S. 5th fleet is on fire again -Severe damage to the American Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar -the Kuwaiti weapons depot has been completely destroyed! Video below -US military facilities in Bahrain are under Iranian missile and drone attack. How badly has Jordan been destroyed? F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jet hangers and several American MQ9 strategic drones at Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan were destroyed by the IRGC! -Iran continues wiping out American assets in Jordan! Does Trump even have a plan? Besides death threats and bombs? -Trump warns Iran that strikes will continue until a deal is reached, -seeks to his Iranian power stations as soon as next week. โ€ข"Strikes on Iran will continue until I say enough." โ€ขIran's power stations will be targeted next week if no deal is reached. โ€ขEnergy targets in Iran will be held until last in the strike sequence. โ€ขTrump says the U.S. is urging Iran to reach an agreement. So much for diplomacy! Iran has threatened to retaliate by striking the energy infrastructure of the Trump/Israel aligned gulf states Does Trump have any idea what Iran has? Interviewer: How many missiles do you think Iran has left? Trump: They have some... Interviewer:Hundreds? Thousands? Trump: I don't want to say. Nobody knows. Trust the plan! All this winning!
