Released Toasty v0.6 (ORM for Rust). Highlights include `#[deferred]` to avoid having to load all fields all the time, `.select(...)` specify exactly which fields you want, and support for `Vec` fields, which is the start towards full "document" modeling. github.com/tokio-rs/toasty
🚨 An estimated 80,000 barrels of oil have spilled into the Persian Gulf from Iran’s Kharg Island export terminal. A major reason is the regime’s chronic lack of modern oil storage infrastructure. Decades of mismanagement, corruption, and misplaced priorities left Iran with limited onshore storage capacity. With the U.S. naval blockade restricting exports, oil reportedly backed up rapidly, forcing excessive pressure on aging pipelines and increased reliance on old tankers as floating storage. Leaks like this are a predictable result. The environmental toll on the Persian Gulf could be severe: ⚪️ Oil contaminates and poisons birds, sea turtles, fish, and marine mammals, potentially triggering large-scale die-offs ⚪️ It damages mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass in one of the world’s most fragile semi-enclosed seas ⚪️ Long-term pollution threatens fisheries, water quality, and coastal ecosystems across the region Kharg Island is Iran’s main oil export hub, handling the vast majority of the regime’s crude exports. Any disruption, accident, or infrastructure failure there carries major economic and environmental consequences. The spill also exposes deeper problems inside Iran’s oil sector. Years of regime-at-fault sanctions, corruption, underinvestment, and neglected infrastructure have left critical facilities aging and vulnerable. Iran’s environment and wildlife continue paying the price for decades of regime corruption and neglect, while billions flow into the IRGC, proxy warfare, and missile programs instead of critical infrastructure and environmental protection.

🌍 #Iran's digital isolation is now entering its 77th day as the internet blackout passes 1824 hours. The measure presents an emerging mental health risk to the public, who are largely cut off from online platforms, communications, and normal interaction with the outside world.

😳🇺🇳 The moment drones hit UN vehicles in Kherson — during the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Ostriv district.
🚨 The Islamic regime in Iran executed Mohammad Abbasi, a 55-year-old father, this morning… alongside him, they arrested his daughter Fatemeh during the January protests and sentenced her to 25 years in prison. Fatemeh is a mother to a 13-year-old little girl… They tore this family apart forever. A father executed, a mother ripped away from her child, and a little girl left orphaned by the regime… all because they wanted a free Iran. This is heartbreaking...
