I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Facebook/Meta is the worst capital (both human & financial) allocator in Big Tech

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.


President Trump, in a post this evening, threatens to "massively blow up the entirety of [Iran's] South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before" if Iran attacks Qatari LNG facilities again.

Let’s just say wear no one is saying: Meta blew $30B+ into the Metaverse not because it had to, but because their pampered engineers would work for nothing short of $500k-$1m a piece, full well knowing this could never ship but their vacation home in Tahoe would be fine!
