@IraninAustralia ما وصل بودیم از وقتی این مطلب اعلام شد قطع شدیم :)

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its 40th day after 936 hours of near-total disconnection from the outside world.

The wartime censorship measure continues even as the US and Iran regimes each declare victory, with the Iranian people once again left in the dark.

This is a crime against humanity…

[Omid Memarian @Omid_M]

Horrifying. From “we support the Iranian people” to bombing their bridges, destroying refineries, targeting power plants and pharmaceutical facilities, and threatening to send them back to the Stone Age: this is not a confident, thought-through strategy. It reflects incoherence in political objectives and a kitchen-sink approach to war, rooted in frustration. #IranWar‌

@mariamarjmand در تصویر�� که شما فرستادین، در لیست انگلیسی، دو مورد اخر ترجمه شده به air defense base با اینکه فارسیش پایگاه اورژانس (چابهار و سراب) هست یا من اشتباه میبینم؟

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now exceeded 120 hours with connectivity still flatlining around 1% of ordinary levels.

Meanwhile, an increasingly Orwellian environment is emerging as telcos threaten users who try to connect to the global internet with legal action.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet shutdown is entering its fourth day with connectivity to the outside world remains at just 1% of ordinary levels; at 72 hours, diminished telecoms continue to impact the public's ability to access information and communicate with loved ones ⏱️

@fuckingme0713 خب دوست عزیز کسی که تو المپیاد جهانی مدال اورده میتونه بدون کنکور بره رشته مرتبط با المپیادش رو بخونه. یعنی مثلا کسی که مدال المپیاد ریاضی اورده نمیتونه بدون کنکور پزشکی بخونه ولی میتونه بدون کنکور برق بخونه. این کجاش شبیه اینه که یک ورزشکار بره پزشکی بخونه؟!

@maziar_pashaei خوبه وقتی میخوایم شور حسینی برای رای دادن ایجاد کنیم حواسمون باشه دولت در چه زمینه هایی اختیار داره و در چه زمینه هایی اختیار نداره. صدا و سیما که هیچی خیلی بخش‌های دیگه مملکت تحت اختیارات رییس جمهور نیست. عادل فردوسی پور هم سال ۹۷ از تلویزیون کنار گذاشته شد!

Researchers often have to ask for recommendation letters for visa/job applications, etc.

I wrote a script that allows you to find who cites your papers frequently to create a list of potential letter writers: https://t.co/96nDCt0epQ

Hope it's helpful, improvements are welcome!
