The Qur'an says:

"Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity." (2:286)

Then why did Ya'qub lose his eyesight from grief?
When the Qur'an says, "Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity" (2:286), it is not saying that pain will never be overwhelming, or that a believer will never break emotionally or physically.

The Qur'an itself shows us otherwise.
Yaqub علیہ السلام lost his eyesight from grief after losing Yusuf. Allah describes his eyes becoming white from sorrow (12:84). This was not weakness, and it was not a failure of faith. It was the result of prolonged grief, separation, and years of emotional pain.

🚨 BREAKING: Airpost just did something with AI ads industry that no one else could.

Within 45 days, they have jumped from $1M ARR to $2M ARR with 100% client retention.

Here's why you can't miss this:
Okay let's take a step back.

What even is Airpost? It is a hybrid creative system built by a team of expert performance marketers to make ads with AI that go viral.

One thing that's absolutely unheard of is - Zero churn. Not one client who signed up for Airpost has ever left.

Nor can they rely purely on whatever AI generates because, let's be real, most of AI videos without is slop.

In maybe the most disturbing political development for Jews in recent political history, weeks after a Hezbollah-linked terrorist tried to murder dozens of Jewish children in Michigan, the state party recently nominated a Hezbollah sympathizer over an incumbent targeted because he's Jewish. 1/

There have been troubling developments in both parties regarding antisemitism in the last few years, but I found this one especially perverse and disturbing.
And of course, it shouldn't be just Jews who are worried about it, not only because everyone should oppose antisemitism, but because antisemitism on both left and right is based within the growing illiberal constituencies in both parties. /2
In short, you don't have to be worried about antisemitism to wonder what the heck's going on when the Democrats nominate a supporter of a radical Islamist, Iran-allied anti-American terrorist group that has murdered hundreds of Americans, weeks after an immigrant tied to that group tried to murder dozens of American schoolchildren. /end

A dysregulated vagus nerve keeps your body stuck in chronic stress.

Insomnia, brain fog, weight gain, and anxiety.

Here are the 7 ways I trust most to reset it naturally
(and get your energy back):

1. 1-3 minute cold plunges Image
Image
1. Cold exposure

Cold can help shift your body out of stress mode fast.

How to do it:
• start with 30 seconds
• build to 2–3 minutes
• use slow, longer exhales
2. Breathwork

Breathwork is one of the fastest ways to calm a nervous system stuck in stress.

The most important rule:
make your exhales longer than your inhales.

Try:

• 4-7-8 breathing
• alternate nostril breathing
• slow belly breathing for 2–5 minutes

Brother @jasonanavitarte your competition for Senate designed this? Do you have any comments? I am doing a story on him + you and the district 31 race? Can you tell us why voters should trust you to secure Georgia elections? His HBAR based systems can also lead to free med care.
#GaPol are you following the race? @ATLNewsFirst

Start here. Jason Anavitarte is in a primary race against the leader of the Save Hiram campaign. He is a 15 year military veteran with 100+ nuclear submarine missions. He sees votes as similar to nuclear missiles and believe
senate leaders and the next governor will benefit by him replacing @jasonanavitarte

Have you reported on this?

This is his machines and him at the Save Hiram city council meet where you all showed up. Image

Russian milblogger “Two Majors” complains that Ukraine is trying to push Russia out of Africa.

“On April 14, 2026, as part of the Food from Ukraine initiative, the first agrohub (Food Processing and Distribution Center) was opened in 🇬🇭Ghana.
1/ Image
“The population is being lured with free food – a mixture of flour and rice (4,000 kits were distributed at the opening), and the authorities with bribes.

✨As a result, Ukraine plans to obtain a logistics and production center for all of West Africa.
2/
“Under the guise of a humanitarian program, the hub will become a distribution center for Ukrainian agricultural products, reducing logistics costs for other countries in the region, which is aimed at long-term consolidation in the African market.

BIG EUROVISION PREDICTION SURVEY 2026 RESULTS
After collecting the predictions of 327 fans and using them to simulate the contest 100000 times in a sophisticated model, here are the results. A full, high detail forecast of the contest based on our collective wisdom (a thread 🧵) Image
Image
Image
Image
Before we start, a quick disclaimer:
While the model has proven relatively reliable before, being on par/better than the odds, it is not omniscient. There will be misses
The results are also not my personal predictions, as I am only responsible for one 327th of the models data
SEMI 1
While 🇫🇮🇬🇷🇸🇪🇮🇱🇲🇩 look like obvious safe qualifiers, 🇭🇷🇷🇸🇲🇪 also look likely, in part helped by strong support from each other. 🇱🇹🇬🇪 round off the top 10 with 🇵🇱 looking like a dark horse, and 🇧🇪🇵🇹 being outsiders. Chances look more bleak for 🇪🇪🇸🇲, but nothing is impossible Image

#Followup | 📌Gaza Amputees

▪️The number of amputees in Gaza has exceeded 5,000, a significant proportion of whom are children. This figure surpasses the numbers in countries plagued by landmines, such as Cambodia.

/1
▪️The health sector is facing a severe crisis due to a shortage of materials for manufacturing prosthetic limbs. This shortage stems from import restrictions & border closures, forcing some centers to reuse old limbs or manufacture rudimentary replacements using simple materials.
▪️Doctors warn that the lack of resources and specialized personnel (numbering no more than 8 in Gaza) exacerbates the suffering of the injured and slows down the recovery process, especially for children who require continuous adjustments as they grow.

1/ Almost three years after the passage of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023, its complaints scheme provision finally looks set to come into force this autumn. And the new registration conditions will follow next April.

How did we get here? A (long) thread.🧵 Image
Image
2/ On 12 May 2021, the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill was formally introduced in the House of Commons by Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education.

It was a response to the censorship culture that had taken hold in British universities. Image
Image
Image
3/ The Bill faced immediate opposition from a range of organisations, including the National Union of Students (which maintained that there was “no evidence” of a freedom of speech crisis) and university lobby groups such as UUK and the Russell Group. Image
