I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

الحروب التي تستهدف المدنيين، من أي طرف كان، مرفوضة ومدانة بشدة، ويجب أن تُحاسَب. ماذا يحقق استهداف الأبرياء غير خلق المزيد من الكراهية في عالمٍ أصلاً مثقل بالعنف والقهر؟ أتابع ما يحدث في #لبنان، ويختلجني، كما كل إنسان لديه إحساس، غضبٌ وحزن. فما نشاهده اليوم من استهداف للصحافيين، مهما كان انتماؤهم، مؤلم وغير مقبول، ويطرح أسئلة لا يمكن تجاهلها. أنا ضد #حزب_الله، وضد أي جهة تجرّ لبنان إلى مواجهات وصراعات بسبب حسابات أو ولاءات خارجية. لبنان يجب أن يكون قراره بيد أبنائه، ومصلحته فوق كل اعتبار. كما أننا لسنا مع أي طرف يجرّ المنطقة إلى صراعات، أو يضع مصالحه فوق مصلحة أوطاننا وشعوبنا. لكن ما تقوم به #إسرائيل جرم لا يمكن السكوت عنه. هناك مبادئ لا يمكن التنازل عنها، وخطوط لا يجوز تجاوزها. استهداف المدنيين؛ صحافيين، أطباء، وعمال إغاثة، جريمة لا يمكن تبريرها تحت أي ظرف. هؤلاء يمارسون عملهم، ينقلون الحقيقة، ويخدمون الناس، ولا يجوز أن يكونوا أهدافاً. ما الذي يُحقَّق من استهداف أشخاص يرتدون بوضوح سترات تُعرّفهم كصحافة، وهم يفترض أن يكونوا محميين بموجب الأعراف والقوانين الدولية؟ ومتى أصبح انتهاك هذه الأعراف مقبولاً، ويُبرَّر أو يُتجاهل، فقط بحسب هوية الطرف الذي ينتهكها؟ الإنسان يجب أن يبقى فوق كل الحسابات السياسية والعسكرية. وما نشهده اليوم يذكّرنا بأن كرامة الإنسان أصبحت، في كثير من الأحيان، آخر ما يُؤخذ في الاعتبار. ألم يكفِ هذه الحكومة الإسرائيلية ما ارتكبته في غزة؟ وإلى متى تبقى دون محاسبة على جرائمها؟ نحن نريد الاستقرار، ونريد السلام، ونرفض أن تتحول منطقتنا إلى ساحة مفتوحة يدفع ثمنها الأبرياء. ما يحدث يجب أن يتوقف، لأن الدم لا يمكن أن يكون وسيلة لإيصال أي رسالة، وليس ثمناً مقبولاً لتحقيق السلام.

BREAKING: Joseph Kent, head of the US National Counterterrorism Center, resigned over the US-Israel war in Iran, saying in a letter to President Donald Trump that “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation".

sent this to the team today everything great comes from being able to delay gratification for as long as possible and it feels like we're collectively losing our ability to do that

Imagine telling the world that you're liberating the women of Iran and one of the first things you do is blow up a school full of girls. Extraordinary.

Notice how Israel is already making itself the victim in an impending war that...*checks notes*...it has been begging for.

Now that ZKEVMs are at alpha stage (production-quality performance, remaining work is safety) and PeerDAS is live on mainnet, it's time to talk more about what this combination means for Ethereum. These are not minor improvements; they are shifting Ethereum into being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of decentralized network. To see why, let's look at the two major types of p2p network so far: BitTorrent (2000): huge total bandwidth, highly decentralized, no consensus Bitcoin (2009): highly decentralized, consensus, but low bandwidth - because it’s not “distributed” in the sense of work being split up, it’s *replicated* Now, Ethereum with PeerDAS (2025) and ZK-EVMs (expect small portions of the network using it in 2026), we get: decentralized, consensus and high bandwidth The trilemma has been solved - not on paper, but with live running code, of which one half (data availability sampling) is *on mainnet today*, and the other half (ZK-EVMs) is *production-quality on performance today* - safety is what remains. This was a 10-year journey (see the first commit of my original post on DAS here: github.com/ethereum/resea… , and ZK-EVM attempts started in ~2020), but it's finally here. Over the next ~4 years, expect to see the full extent of this vision roll out: * In 2026, large non-ZKEVM-dependent gas limit increases due to BALs and ePBS, and we'll see the first opportunities to run a ZKEVM node * In 2026-28, gas repricings, changes to state structure, exec payload going into blobs, and other adjustments to make higher gas limits safe * In 2027-30, large further gas limit increases, as ZKEVM becomes the primary way to validate blocks on the network A third piece of this is distributed block building. A long-term ideal holy grail is to get to a future where the full block is *never* constituted in one single place. This will not be necessary for a long time, but IMO it is worth striving for us at least have the capability to do that. Even before that point, we want the meaningful authority in block building to be as distributed as possible. This can be done either in-protocol (eg. maybe we figure out how to expand FOCIL to make it a primary channel for txs), or out-of-protocol with distributed builder marketplaces. This reduces risk of centralized interference with real-time transaction inclusion, AND it creates a better environment for geographical fairness. Onward.

this is disastrous that you needed to be terminally online and had less than 24h heads up to switch away from twitter showing your country to everyone. awful rollout with no user choice or consent whatsoever. this was the exact case for a terms of service update email that would have allowed some time to delete if you disagreed with the new policy. sad seeing people cheering on further erosion of pseudonymity. such a massive gift for oppressive regimes, im sure this will have chilling effects. remember there were times when it was up to platforms to dismantle manipulation networks and proudly post about it. hasn't been a case since 2022.

dont know 😭

it’s not working

I've been in crypto for over 10 years and I’ve Never been hacked. Perfect OpSec record. Yesterday, my wallet was drained by a malicious @cursor_ai extension for the first time. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. Here’s a full breakdown. 🧵👇
