The Taliban counts on you scrolling past.

Don’t.

Our last connection to Afghan women and girls is the internet. If it’s cut, they vanish from the world’s view.

Don’t allow erasure. Don’t allow gender apartheid.

In 732 AD, a Muslim army swept into France.

Nothing had stopped them before. Kingdoms had fallen. Cities had burned.

Then, at Tours, one man stood in their way—Charles Martel.

What happened next decided the fate of Europe:

The many people who like to pontificate about Ukraine without knowing a damned thing about it should read this candid and moving interview with my friend @DmytroKuleba in the @FT: https://t.co/a1xL7lJxnd

[Pink Floyd 💎 @Just_pinkfloyd]

Hey, you!
Out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?

Hey, you!
Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?

Hey, you!
Don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight

Hey, you!
Out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?

Hey, you!
With your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?

Hey, you!
Would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home

But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain

Hey, you!
Out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?

Hey, you!
Out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?

Hey, you!
Don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand
Divided we fall

The Harris-Walz campaign released a “concepts of a plan” ad. Holy shit this is good. 🔥

In 1960, JFK was 43 and Nixon 47! I’m not ageist, but this debate and the choice it represents between two feeble and broadly unpopular candidates is an indictment of a failed political culture and the two-party system.

An artificial gravity space odyssey for Europe 🌌🌙

@vast is developing commercial artificial gravity space stations and signed an agreement with @esa yesterday at @ILA_Berlin, paving the way for Europe’s continuous human and robotic missions in low Earth orbit 🚀🌍

Im really genuinely curious what else it will take until Brexit and the damage it did will erupt to be a topic everyone is talking about. It’s time.
And the British ppl seem to be ready for it.

While the politicians refuse to discuss Brexit, here's the very latest polling on rejoining the EU.

A mistake repeated more than once is not a mistake anymore. It is a decision.

An artificial gravity space station? Why not! 🛰️🤩

Developed by @vast, and now, through a collaboration with @esa, a new opportunity for European astronaut missions and research activities in low Earth orbit🚀🌍

So proud of this team and the work we do!! 🌟

Building the Stellar Disbursement Platform and Stellar Aid Assist has been an incredible journey. Honored to see it win @TheWebbyAwards (& thanks to the internet for choosing an impact product for the overall web 3 tech category)!

[Denelle Dixon @DenelleDixon]

Protocol 20 is officially live. Smart contracts on Stellar are here! Streamlined transactions, expanded use cases, heightened security, and so much more – it's a game-changer for the network, and it's all thanks to the heart and hustle of this entire ecosystem. Proud is an understatement. Let’s build... the DeFi way. #Stellar

[Denelle Dixon @DenelleDixon]

Firm in my belief: Smart contracts go beyond code; they're the foundation to a more inclusive future, where tech, not intermediaries, upholds agreements. Less than a week until the vote brings Soroban to Stellar Mainnet—thrilled about it.

[Vast @vast]

2023 was a pivotal year for Vast. In our second year since founding, we:

🎙️ Announced our first space station, Haven-1, scheduled to be the world’s first commercial space station when it launches no earlier than August 2025
🚀 Revealed our @SpaceX launch partnership to launch both Haven-1 and the first crewed expedition, Vast-1
👥 Grew our team from 31 to 285 team members
🛰️ Acquired the space startup @Launcher and a test facility at the Mojave Air and Space Port
🌊 Moved our headquarters to Long Beach, CA
🧑‍🚀 Grew our esteemed list of advisors to include two veteran NASA astronauts — Dr. Andrew J. Feustel (@Astro_Feustel) and Dr. Garrett Reisman (@astro_g_dogg) — and Peter Russell-Clarke, a renowned Apple Industrial Designer

Now 20 months out from the launch of Haven-1, we are making significant progress on its design, development, and build. Stay tuned for what’s to come in 2024.

$XLM is has shown real world impacting DLT utility

Through their partner with UNHCR & MoneyGram for a value transfer solution to Ukrainian citizens affected by the war

This ended up as the "Best Impact Project" for blockchain use case

Utility that truly helps the world❤️‍🔥
