Iranians I know all agree that: 1) they want IRGC / regime gone; 2) we need to preserve the civilian infrastructure.

Established in 1920, the Pasteur Institute of Iran in Tehran is historically significant as the oldest leading public health and vaccine production center in the Middle East - Now its bombed

Today we're introducing TRIBE v2 (Trimodal Brain Encoder), a foundation model trained to predict how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound. Building on our Algonauts 2025 award-winning architecture, TRIBE v2 draws on 500+ hours of fMRI recordings from 700+ people to create a digital twin of neural activity and enable zero-shot predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks.

Talking to Iranians who have fled to Armenia, I have heard largely the same. One a few days ago told me: "I don't know anyone who was killed in the strikes. I know 22 people who were killed by the regime in January."

BREAKING: The captain of Iran’s women’s soccer team has withdrawn her bid for asylum in Australia after her family went missing. UN Women has not said a word.

🚨🚨 بی نهایت مهم! لطفا به تمام کسانی که استارلینک دارند اطلاع بدهید دستگاهها را خاموش کنند. یک عملیات گسترده برای ردیابی استارلینکها در ایران در جریان است و تا الان دهها نفر بازداشت شده اند. سریعا دستگاهها را خاموش کنید دست کم به مدت ۴۸ ساعت و در صورت امکان از محل زندگی خودتان دور کنید. #استارلینک

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

دیروز از مجتبی پرسیدم بنظرت لاریجانی کجا قایم شده؟ گفت: عالیه. اگه مایل باشی میتونم لیست همه جاهایی که لاریجانی قایم شده رو بهت بدم. فقط کافیه بگی کدوم لاریجانی منظورته. اگر خواستی به شکل PDF یا Word هم دربیارم، فقط بگو.

A tragedy is unfolding: aside from murdering women for showing their hair, hanging thousands for being gay, murdering their political opposition, cancelling democracy, killing thousands of their own citizens for peacefully demonstrating, plundering their nation’s wealth to line their own pockets, destroying Lebanon & Gazan society via their proxies, supporting Assad’s mass murder of his own people, murdering Jews whenever possible, supporting genocide against Jews and planning the annihilation of Israel while running an annual Holocaust-mocking cartoon competition, murdering hundreds of US servicemen, announcing it was planning the assassination of Donald Trump, making proxy wars against Sunni Arabs and relentlessly trying to build a nuclear weapon to potentially satisfy an apocalyptic religious prophecy by dropping it on Israel & generally planning the end of Western civilisation, what has the Iranian regime done to deserve this attack?

Nothing on @BBCNews about #IranMassacre - not one article. If I’m being kind it might be because the general population of Britain can’t quite believe there is now overwhelming evidence that so called “security forces” in another country are exterminating their citizens by the thousands mostly shooting them in the head at point blank range for peaceful protest when in Britain you can’t get the police to come out if you’ve had your car stolen. bbc.co.uk/news

📺 The BBC cancelled almost all TV and radio interviews on #Iran's internet blackout they'd scheduled or suggested changing topic to other outages. With huge respect to BBC journos, this wastes human rights monitors' time, hasn't happened in past crises, and needs investigation.

Today I've asked Starlink/X CEO Elon Musk to activate Starlink Direct-to-Cell and Google CEO Sundar Pichai to expand Satellite SOS for Iran during the ongoing internet blackouts and protests. - x.com/NarimanGharib/… - x.com/NarimanGharib/… Many people argue that Iranians don't have modern phones capable of using these satellite technologies. This claim is demonstrably false. I analyzed our VPN app data (ArgoVPN) from December 2025 in Iran. The results are clear: • 15% of Iranian users already have Starlink-compatible devices (over 1 million installs in December alone) • The top 3 most popular devices in Iran are ALL Starlink-compatible: Samsung Galaxy A32, A51, and A54x • These are mid-range, affordable devices - not expensive flagships Here's what people miss about Starlink Direct-to-Cell: It requires ZERO special hardware. No satellite dish. No special antenna. Any LTE phone from the last ~4 years works. The satellites act as cell towers in space, and phones connect automatically when there's no cellular signal. The technology is ready. The phones are already in people's hands. With 90 million people in Iran, the potential reach is enormous. The main barrier isn't device availability - it's deployment and carrier agreements. The Iranian people are fighting for the very freedoms America was built upon. This is an opportunity for American tech leadership to make a tangible difference - not just in saving lives during emergencies, but in supporting the fundamental human right to free communication. @elonmusk: Please fully activate Starlink Direct-to-Cell over Iran NOW. @SundarPichai: Please expand Google Satellite SOS to Iran. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸@realDonaldTrump @SecRubio: This is a historic opportunity - using American innovation to support freedom without troops or billions in aid. Just technology that's already built. Help the Iranian people break through censorship and communicate with the world. #TechForFreedom #SatelliteForLiberty #IranProtests

⚠️ Update: It has now been 24 hours since #Iran implemented a nationwide internet shutdown, with connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels. The ongoing digital blackout violates the fundamental rights and liberties of Iranians while masking regime violence ⏱

@paulg As an employee of a few of these founders, the young grads were the least empathetic in my experience.

Another investor and I were trying to see if we could think of an experienced founder more arrogant than a recent <elite university> grad after that first big funding round. Neither of us could think of one. Nothing beats inexperience.

29 May 1871. The first official Bank Holiday in Britain took place on Whit Monday (it’s now called Spring Bank Holiday). It was introduced by the 1871 Bank Holiday Act. The Act ruled that no financial dealing would occur on a Bank Holiday, and that banks would close.

This morning, the Islamic Republic executed three young protesters in Iran, Majid Kazemi, Saleh Mirhashemi & Saeed Yaghoubi, after prison authorities told their families today was their final visit, and despite widespread protests against these barbaric sentences and lack of proper due process. #خانه_اصفهان
