Rape gangs are not some kind of aberration. Ask any combat veteran what they saw in Afghanistan. The sexual torture and slavery of children is utterly commonplace in Muslim countries. It’s part of their “culture.” Which is why it’s suicidal to import that culture into the west.

[lito @litocoen]

yes this is cool because it allows Ethena to tap into the largest earn program in crypto

but more importantly it demonstrates the appetite and ambition of this team

i wrote this a few weeks ago when i started

the vibe inside the company feels much more like it’s Day 1 than 2yrs post TGE

after an explosive 24/25 a lot of work has been put in preparing Ethena for an even bigger 26/27

countdown is on

Azul Brazilian Airlines performs a low altitude flyover in honor of the Brazilian National Team ahead of the FIFA World Cup.

The plane reportedly flew over the beaches of Flamengo, Botafogo, Leme, Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon.

Very cool.

The Arab Word is Watching a Different War:

Three reasons why it has been difficult to understand the Arab position:

The first is the Arab relationship with Iran. From the vantage point of Brussels or London, Iran presents itself as a resistance movement with a grievance against American hegemony and Israeli occupation, and this presentation maps comfortably onto familiar Western anticolonial frameworks.
What it does not map onto is the lived experience of Arab populations in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, and across the Gulf. In those countries, Iran's presence meant Hezbollah holding the Lebanese state hostage to Tehran's decisions, thirty-five armed factions in Iraq drawing salaries from Iranian funds channeled through the Iraqi national treasury, and Houthi commanders answering to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps while firing on Arab civilians from Yemeni soil. Freedom is not the word any serious Arab observer would use for what Iran brought.
Indeed, the Arab world's quarrel with Iran runs far deeper than American bases or Israeli airstrikes. What drives it is the systematic subversion of Arab sovereignty by a foreign power that uses the language of Islamic solidarity as cover for an imperial project conducted through proxies.
The second dimension is the proxy question itself, where Western analysis fails most comprehensively. Iran goes far beyond supporting armed groups. Parallel state structures get built inside Arab countries, financial systems get captured, and political figures get installed who owe their existence and survival entirely to Tehran.
The Iranians who have administered this project understand it as the export of a revolution, but what Arab populations have experienced is closer to a colonial occupation conducted through intermediaries, and as of now, they’re not mourning the Islamic Republic.
When Westerners treat these proxy networks as instruments of legitimate resistance rather than as mechanisms of subjugation, they endorse an imperial project while believing themselves to be opposing one, and as a matter of fact, make themselves the legitimizing force behind Iran’s war against the Arab world.
The third dimension is the most counterintuitive for a Western audience, and it is the one most consequential for how the current war is understood and misunderstood. For Arab nationalists, including secular nationalists and even those with deep reservations about Israeli policy, Iran represents a greater and more immediate threat than Israel does.
This is a position that Western media are structurally ill-equipped to render intelligible, because Western discourse on the Middle East has been organized for decades around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the primary axis of regional injustice.
The result is that when Western governments and Western publics take strong positions against Israel’s actions against Iran’s operations, they believe themselves to be standing with the Arab world. In reality, they are advancing a position that the Arab world does not share and has not asked for, while ignoring the threat that Arab governments and Arab populations actually live with.
The rhetorical use of Israel as a perpetual alibi for Iranian aggression has been one of the Islamic Republic’s most durable tools, and Western opinion has served as the unwitting amplifier of that tool across the entire duration of the Islamic Republic’s existence.

An epic battle, Joao. And a hard-fought victory you deserve. Best of luck for the rest of the tournament and the incredible career you have ahead of you. 

As for Paris… tu as mon coeur 🫶🏼

This conversation about caring for aging parents will change how you see family.

“What held her back when you were born?”

That question changes everything.

Your mother stayed up through sleepless nights, sacrificed years of her life, listened to your dreams, your rambles, your fears… and never made you feel like a burden.

Now when the roles reverse, society calls it “being held back.”

@Kelsisheren explains one of the most powerful perspectives on family, aging, and showing up for the people who once showed up for us.

Why have I just listened to a report on @BBCRadio4 which detailed men selling their daughters in Afghanistan - one as young as 5 - to other men.

The constructed narrative being sympathetic to the MEN! They are apparently suffering because of economic sanctions so … how could they be expected to do anything else? The reporter feeling so sorry for them and their little stories.

Fuck these men and fuck the female reporter telling their story. Afghanistan is subject to sanctions because of the evil regime and partly because of the way it treats women. Imagine if you weren’t abject, woman-hating cowards selling girls and instead you grew a pair and fought the fucking Taliban.

That was disgusting.
