I left Tehran this morning on a whim because of the internet shutdown and the very real risk of war breaking out. It’s not lost on me that I’m one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity to leave, while many are fighting on the streets with their bare hands and hopeful hearts. I have never seen an uprising like this in the history of Iran. From teenagers to grandparents, everyone is coming together for a free, prosperous Iran. Even the ones who didn’t make it to the streets were on their rooftops, chanting for hours “death to the dictator” and calling for the return of Reza Pahlavi. There is a sense of hope and belief that I have never felt amongst us Iranians, like we know it is happening this time. Meanwhile, the supreme leader is calling 92 million Iranian freedom fighters “thugs.” Last night, the Islamic Republic sent out a mass text saying people who are shooting protesters on the streets are “terrorist groups” in an attempt to deflect any responsibility or accountability for killing innocent protestors. This was the first time I experienced an internet shutdown in a country, and there are no words to describe the feelings of despair, helplessness, and fear. To have your voice cut off and be isolated from the world while your abuser is abusing you—it’s like being tortured in solitary confinement in an empty prison where no one can hear you, not even the prison guards. There are truly no words to describe the feeling. This morning, when my brother was giving me a ride to the airport, I saw the despair and hopelessness in his eyes. He said, “I don’t think anything is going to happen,” only because he’s not able to see how the world is rooting and cheering for the Iranian people. This is exactly what the government wants. Its goal is to inject hopelessness by isolating people from global solidarity. We must be louder than ever. I’m asking @elonmusk and anyone with influence: please do whatever you can to help restore internet access for the Iranian people. This is it. There is no going back this time. IRAN WILL BE FREE 💚🤍❤️

@MarioNawfal Impeccable timing. Cease fires may no longer be taken seriously if one side is re-arming themselves to strike again, breaking the ceasefire.

🚨🇮🇷🇨🇳 BREAKING: TWO MAHAN AIR FLIGHTS FROM CHINA LAND BACK-TO-BACK IN TEHRAN Two long-haul Mahan Air flights from Shanghai and Beijing just touched down in Tehran minutes apart using Airbus A340s. These flights are anything but routine. Mahan Air is under U.S. sanctions for backing the IRGC and has a track record of flying weapons and tech disguised as civilian traffic. With Iran taking hits from both the U.S. and Israel, the sudden arrival of widebodies from major Chinese cities is raising serious eyebrows. Source: DD Geopolitics

Great news! Second generation Anti-CdtB and anti-vinculin (IBSsmart) changes slowly in time. But if anti-vinculin goes down, #IBS improves! This supports our efforts in developing a drug to rid you of these antibodies! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

My friend just told me the tiktok girlies are using chatgpt to decode their situationships the same way they used to pull tarot cards. First person to build a wrapper for this will be a billionaire.

It’s so depressing. Six Israelis were murdered by terrorists yesterday, one of whom is an American citizen. Every Jewish person I know is tweeting about it. But it’s radio silence almost everyone else, so including people who stood with me on women’s rights, LGBT rights and Black Lives Matter. Why do so few people who say they care about social justice treat Jews like they matter?

I'm calling "peak work." Over the past few years, workday signoff times have moved earlier. This trend-line is relatively new (and certainly partly due to the pandemic). But there's also a broader trend at play: In 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that his grandkids would work a 15-hour workweek. By the 21st century, he said, we would work Monday and Tuesday, then have a five-day weekend. What Keynes missed was that work is as much a product of *culture* as it is of technology. And work has increasingly become the foundation of culture. America's top 10% of earners work an average of 4.4 hours more each week than those in the bottom 10%. Why is that? Work is intertwined with identity. That's beginning to shift. On technology front, AI should increase worker productivity. Past technologies did the same, and we still worked a lot (output per worker just went up). But I expect AI allows for a marginal decrease in working hours. The other big change is cultural. Younger generations aren't as work-obsessed as their parents & grandparents, and you can feel a pushback on a work-centric culture. Where an older cohort of workers placed work at the top of Maslow's Hierarchy—self-actualization—younger workers place work at the bottom, fulfilling basic needs like food and shelter. Younger workers don’t live to work; they work to live. I expect that AI + cultural shifts both bring about a gradual decline in hours worked.

The key word here is "stories." To date, there is no physical evidence of rape by Hamas militants, nor any purported rape victims offering direct testimony. There are only outlandish "stories" like this from a purported male witness, who uses odd language to describe "a beautiful woman with the face of an angel" being raped by "8 to 10" Hamas militants. This same "witness" also claims that he then saw another Hamas militant who "took a shovel and beheaded" another woman, whose "head rolled along the ground." Again, where is the evidence to back this up? Israel has been caught lying multiple times about atrocities (and Hamas' hospital HQ) to justify its mass murder campaign in Gaza. And "stories" like this are only starting to "surface" now. It seems clear that this is yet another fabrication in the service of genocide:
New York Post@nypost

Horrific new stories of Hamas rapes in Israel surface, including attack on woman with ‘face of an angel’ who screamed to be killed trib.al/WTIJf5n
