Am reminded of my fav filmmaker @RGVzoomin message 1. So many of your films. Message 2. Specifically for RANN. The speech at end by Amitji, totally a waste of the Big man’s talent.

Martin Scorsese on the mistakes a filmmaker must avoid: "There are many different kinds of mistakes that I think a director must try to avoid at all costs. The first that comes to mind is redundancy—making the point of a film over and over again, either emotionally or intellectually. Well, emotionally, you can get away with it sometimes, because the emotion can become intense enough to become something else. But in terms of a message, whether it’s a political message or just the underlying theme of the film, I sometimes see films in which, at the end, a character will, either virtually or literally, make a speech or have a line of dialogue where he will explain that the film title means or even explain what the film was all about. And that, I feel, is the worst thing you can do. I’m not sure I’ve avoided that myself. But I’ve certainly tried." ("Moviemakers' Masterclass", Laurent Tirard, 2002)

BREAKING. The United States Treasury’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025 report $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities. That is a negative net position of $41.72 trillion. And that number excludes Social Security and Medicare, which CBO projects add another $50 to $70 trillion in unfunded obligations over 30 years.
Steve Hanke and David Walker wrote in Fortune on March 23 that these numbers constitute insolvency under any standard accounting framework. The Treasury has not used that word. No sovereign government that issues its own reserve currency calls itself insolvent. But the numbers are the Treasury’s own. They are published on Treasury.gov. They are audited. And they show a government whose liabilities exceed its assets by a ratio of nearly 8 to 1.
Now layer the war on top.
Annual interest on the national debt reached $1.22 trillion in fiscal year 2025. That is more than the defence budget. More than Medicare. The war supplemental request for the Iran conflict exceeds $200 billion. The Federal Reserve cannot cut rates because Hormuz-driven energy inflation has pushed PCE to 2.7 percent and rising. Every basis point the Fed holds is a basis point that compounds against $39 trillion in gross debt. The war that was supposed to last weeks is now costing hundreds of billions while the borrowing cost of financing it rises with every barrel of oil that does not transit the strait.
The arithmetic is circular and accelerating. The war spikes energy prices. Energy prices spike inflation. Inflation prevents rate cuts. Higher rates increase the cost of servicing $39 trillion in debt. Higher debt service costs expand the deficit. The expanded deficit requires more borrowing. The borrowing occurs at higher rates because the war is still running. The circle has no exit as long as the strait is closed.
Japan is watching from the other side of the carry trade. Life insurers hold $5 trillion in foreign assets, heavily weighted toward US Treasuries. The BOJ is tightening. The 10-year JGB hit 2.278 percent. If Japanese institutions begin repatriating, the largest marginal buyer of American debt becomes a seller at the exact moment the US needs to borrow $200 billion more for the war.
The yuan is entering the gap. Every tanker that pays $2 million in yuan at the IRGC toll booth is a transaction that does not require dollar settlement. Every bilateral deal between Russia and China in rubles and yuan is a trade flow that does not pass through SWIFT. Intra-BRICS trade reached $500 billion in 2025 with over half settled in local currencies. The dollar’s share of global reserves has fallen from 72 percent in 2000 to 56.9 percent. The Hormuz toll booth is not just blocking molecules. It is demonstrating in real time that global energy can settle without the dollar. And the demonstration occurs while the dollar’s issuer publishes financial statements showing $41.72 trillion in net liabilities.
The Treasury is not insolvent. A sovereign that prints its own reserve currency can always meet its obligations. But the mechanism for meeting those obligations, borrowing at ever-higher rates, printing when borrowing becomes untenable, inflating when printing becomes visible, has a cost. That cost is measured in purchasing power, in credibility, and in the willingness of foreign holders to continue financing a government whose own statements show liabilities eight times its assets while fighting a war it cannot afford to win or afford to lose.
The molecules are trapped behind the strait. The fiscal credibility is trapped behind the numbers. And the numbers are the Treasury’s own.

Better Call Saul (2015–2022) pulls off the rarest trick. It sticks the ending. Lands every character beat, closes the loop with purpose, and locks its place among the best television ever made.

Responding to BMJ's report on a planned Hepatitis B birth-dose trial in Guinea-Bissau, I argue that once "birth-dose safety" becomes a headline, insinuations run the risk of travelling faster than nuance.

Nope, you cannot guess what this ad is for or where it heading to... just give up and watch 😂 Read the rest of this post after watching the ad. Agency: Joe Public. ... ... ... The brand is from South Africa. The agency too - they have been with this brand for a long time. That also explains the 'General' tag for the cop, which is completely non-Indian and very South African, since the country uses paramilitary rank structure in its police structure (including lieutenant general and major general). And the entire scene reconstruction clearly had the gaze of an outsider, the way Hollywood approaches Indian scenes in its movies. But we, in India, are not the audience. The scene has been created for South Africans, with only the essence of the over-the-top'ness intact. The song used (Jaan Pehechan Ho - Gumnaam, Shankar-Jaikishan, 1965) was earlier used in a Heineken ad in 2012. The line, 'that was way too extra' also seemed like the South African equivalent of, 'Yeh thoda zyada ho gaya' to indicate over-the-top. It was interesting to see a non-Indian brand and agency use a very-Indian element in their advertising. It probably is an indication that our over-the-top films are recognizable assets on their own, worldwide. Not very different from the over-the-top advertising from Thailand. Or Norwegian murder mysteries. Or Korean pop and TV shows. Unfortunately, Bollywood/Hindi cinema seems to have lost interest in over-the-top'ness. Or, Hindi cinema has been unable to produce interesting over-the-top'ness anymore, and that mantle has been successfully taken over by South Indian cinema, particularly Telugu films, and to a lesser extent, Tamil and Kannada cinema (Malayalam cinema is on a completely different trajectory, of course, though they too occasionally revel in this sub-genre). Telugu cinema, in particular, finds increasingly interesting narratives to place such over-the-top'ness in movies, and do it with total commitment, flair and style. Considering that a South African brand thought that it is worth using in their advertising, we should be owning this cultural facet a lot more openly and proudly. #advertising #marketing #creativity

tl;dr- I’m going all in on DePIN.
I’ve recently left @XNET_Mobile to fully focus on bringing @fractalsdotfun to life.
im doubling down on depin. outside of innovation in defi, icm, and stablecoin adoption, I still believe the best pockets of asymmetric upside exist in this sector. depin protocols have access to the largest end markets ($1T+) — telecom, energy, compute, etc. the larger players in the space have already achieved PMF and are only really supply-side constrained right now. over this cycle, I expect to see revenues injected back into protocol-native tokens at levels comparable to pumpfun and defi protocols that we've seen today.
everyone has their own unique journey through this space, and I’m happy to share a little piece of mine. am a big believer in the intertwined fabric of the universe and how it shapes our realities. the people i have met along this journey have been there for a reason, and I want to shout out a few of them.
I entered crypto in ’21 when @richhomiecon introduced me to the concept of Helium. A year later, I gained so much conviction in DePIN that I left behind my degree in the sciences and my admission into dental school. Deeply thankful to the guys at @EV3ventures for mentoring me at such an uncertain time and helping me take the leap to pursue a career in the space.
For most of the last 3 years, I’ve been in the trenches with @XNET_Mobile. From just a few nerds with a dream to now working directly with the largest telco in the United States, it’s been a rollercoaster — full of some of the most valuable life lessons and experiences I’ve had the privilege of witnessing. I can’t say enough about @rdevaul — beyond listening to him rant about niche novel tech, his perspective on balancing work, relationships, and life, while simply being a good human who can make others believe in something greater than themselves, was truly inspirational.
and yes, I’ll remain one of the most vocal XNET bulls on the timeline. The group there doesn’t accept defeat under any circumstances. gmnet, baby. (re: XNET’s involvement in Fractals — it’s an entirely independent project, but yes, we’ll be injecting significant liquidity into the ecosystem)
Alongside building in DePIN, I’ve also been able to take a deep dive into the on-chain world. Going from not knowing how much influence anons on the internet could have to doing deal flow with them and hanging out at random spots around the world was transformational. Outside of their pfps, these are people I look up to in real life — mostly for their humility, willingness to help, and ability to make others believe in something: @avotoast @ExitLiqCapital @blknoiz06 @rodeo_crypro @crypto_iso.
Living and breathing on-chain for some time ages you quick, but it also shows you who’s in the space for genuine reasons.
For the past few months, I’ve been in full founder mode building @fractalsdotfun alongside some of the brightest devs I’ve met in this space. The idea of tokenizing DePIN emissions and allowing global liquidity to participate in these networks isn’t new — just one that hasn’t been executed yet. After seeing one of my cofounders bouncing off walls hearing the idea again, I knew it was time to send it.
@solana is home to ~2M DePIN nodes across projects and distributes ~$400M in rewards to participants annually. The vision behind Fractals is simple: most of these projects in key sectors only have a supply-side issue. Demand is unlocked and limitless. Mining these projects (if you know what you’re doing) still provides one of the highest consistent returns in crypto.
Fractals is selling the picks and shovels for the inevitable global movement that’s about to melt faces as DePIN onboards the next few billion users to Solana.
We've already made a lot of progress:
-sold about $30k GMV
-integrated both $xnet $geod, $hnt should be live in a few days
-exploring pre-tge depin support on our platform
Finally, a DePIN project that can move at crypto speed.
DMs are open if you would like to enter the arena with me. 👁️
