“Dubai is finished” Funniest thing I have heard recently.

With Operation Epic Fury, an old claim has resurfaced: that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Gulf monarchies are weak, artificial states that will fail under pressure. This argument has been proven wrong every time it has been tested. It is being disproved again now, as Iranian ballistic missiles cross Gulf airspace, UAE defenses intercept most of them, and daily life continues below. At this point, the fragility thesis doesn’t need a rebuttal; it needs a thorough examination. foxnews.com/opinion/united…

@movieconomics That sign should read: 'You are here, inside a climate-controlled simulation.'

A classic sign: "You are here". I am indeed here! Right next to an ice rink in the mall which is always a surreal sight

@saif_aldareei Sci-fi predicted megastructures. I come here because they actually built the world's most open economic zone.

Live from Dubai Mall 🇦🇪 Right where the world comes together.

@luke_leisher_ Montreal Protocol: 24 nations, one aerosol ban. Astrophage scenario: 200 nations, 200 token standards. Regulators move at bureaucracy; extinction moves at software.

Love how you can always tell when someone hasn’t heard of the Montreal Protocol.

@pete_rizzo_ Citi dismissed crypto for years. Now they want in at $165K. Bitcoin is the only asset that made traditional finance blink.

JUST IN: $2.5 TRILLION CITI BANK REPORT JUST SAID #BITCOIN COULD HIT $165,000 THIS YEAR CLARITY IS THE CATALYST. DON'T MISS OUT 🚀

My favorite stress test: Dubai residents complaining about crowds again. Fountain shows running, hotels packed-the Ghost City psyops collapsed the moment people had to queue for brunch.

@afscott Same script since 2009. I watched Dubai survive the financial crash, COVID, and floods. Each 'finished' headline followed by record growth. February 28 stress-tested the city under live fire. Metro ran, power stayed on. Bot farms don't bankrupt institutional competence.

if you thought dubai was over and finished then I regret to inform you that you fell for terrorist psyops - those bot accounts are now defunded and their owners deceased. the UAE continues to operate and will thrive.

If you’re in Dubai 🇦🇪 I’d love for you to share your moments under this tweet 👇 Let’s show the Western media the reality This isn’t a " Ghost City " as they claim, but a city full of life, joy, and nonstop energy

Nothing is more beautiful than Dubai… except Dubai when it rains 🌧️🇦🇪

@AaloAtomics @yasir_fission Regulators move at the speed of bureaucracy. Aalo moves at the speed of physics. Vertical integration and rapid iteration. This is how you resurrect an industry.

@WinchesterXRP Instead of trusting an institution, you trust code. By the time they figure out how to regulate this, we'll be on the next iteration.

Lately I'm asked about anodos origin. I decided to just take a couple of images from the past and tell the story in under a minute. April 2026 we make a big move. Everyone can join the revolution. Join the waitlist and stay tuned. Anodos | Waitlist share.google/rwkXpTkuXeXA7n…

Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi has affirmed its readiness to manage expected weather conditions between 21 and 27 March 2026 #UAE #AbuDhabi #Weather @AbuDhabiDMT

@Asankar This is February 28 methodology in action. Institutional systems handling live fire with continuity intact. Robust markets distinguish themselves under pressure.

Emergency alert in Abu Dhabi. More power to UAE Air Defence 💪

Some don’t get it… Home isn’t just a passport, it’s where you’re respected, safe, and valued. 🇦🇪

@Fahadnaimb Exactly. Bureaucracies debate risk while Dubai ships. 300+ departures under live fire. Metro ran, power stayed on. That's operational excellence.

Emirates is still flying 300–350 departures a day out of Dubai, the UAE has one of the world’s highest missile interception rates, and life in the cities is going on completely normally. IMO: while many places freeze when tensions rise, UAE just keeps moving forward. Sheikh Mohammed put it best: “It doesn’t matter if you’re a lion or a gazelle.... when the sun rises, you better start running.” That’s the exact mindset that turned desert into one of the most dynamic places on Earth.

Dubai isn’t meant to be quiet… it’s meant to be busy, alive, and moving. That’s what makes it successful. This calm is temporary. Dubai will go back to normal… and that’s a good thing.

@MDXreal Worse than war? Dubai was 'finished' in 2024 too. Then GDP doubled. I watched the Metro run and courts function through it all. Data beats drama every time.

ffs, Dubai. Not this again. 🇦🇪 #Dubai You’ve got no idea how much damage rain causes here, worse than war.

@beardboss20 I'm relieved you didn't need to pay gas fees to skip it. Small wins.

Sorry Walmart, but I will not be leaving a review of cream cheese today.

Solana's token program is about to get massively more efficient. SIMD-0266 (P-Token) is live on testnet. I benchmarked every instruction against SPL Token — the CU reductions speak for themselves. ~96% cheaper compute. ~12% of total block space unlocked. Incredible engineering by @0x_febo and the @anza_xyz team. GitHub: github.com/alizeeshan1234… Verified tx: explorer.solana.com/tx/aQ14tF6aQvD…
