There is no limit to the depredation humans can suffer, no bottom to the sink. I suspect this has to do with our eternal natures. We have an unlimited capacity for pain.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, who exposed the US funding of biolabs across Ukraine and Africa.

He was assassinated at his home by Ukraine on the directive of western intelligence in December, 2024.

[MAZE @mazemoore]

In 2022 Jen Psaki was asked about claims that we were operating biolabs in Ukraine. She denied the existence of "bioweapons" programs and then called the whole thing Russian disinformation.

[hostyle @mrhostyle]

It's crazy how one by one all the conspiracy theories keep landing on solid undeniable proof. What a strange strange world we're living in. Now it goes to show that you can't just brush off Russian claims anymore. More often than not as it turns out the Russians are right

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

Bro, but weren’t we told by “reliable” sources that it was just a conspiracy theory? Or maybe Russian-made fiction?

And now, look at that, turns out it was true after all.

Who would’ve thought.

As per Reuters the UAE is either unlocking or paying billions of dollars to Iran, including transfers up to $20bn in an attempt to reset relations after the recent war. $3bn has reportedly already been paid.

“For 40 days, US and Israeli aircraft pounded the mountains around Yazd, trying to silence one of Iran’s most important military projects: a buried missile complex carved deep into the granite above the ancient desert city.

Yet, according to residents, the Iranian missiles kept firing regardless. “US and Israeli forces kept bombing those mountains,” said one resident of Yazd. “And Iran kept launching missiles until the final moments before the ceasefire.”

Imran Khan is currently neither in Adiala Jail nor at PIMS Hospital. His whereabouts remain unknown at this time, as no verified information about his current location has emerged so far.

American credibility has deteriorated to the point where the president can announce a diplomatic agreement and the near-universal reaction is "let's wait for confirmation from Tasnim"

[Waqas @worqas]

Nobody has been allowed to meet him. We don't know what is going on with his health, this could be serious.

No billionaire actually built a billion dollar company through hard work. Apple’s cofounder said the garage story is a myth. Bezos got a $300k investment from his parents. Google’s founders were Stanford grads with access to venture capital. Stop promoting the bootstrap ideology.

If you have to read one thing apart from the NYT post on Epstein Files panic in the White House, make it this one:

This is a fascinating study by LAGO about how EU states cashed out 157 million euros in fees for rejected visas.

Highest rejections:

Bangladesh: 54.5%
Senegal: 51.9%
Nigeria: 47.8%
Pakistan: 46%

I’ve been saying this for a while that the existing visa regime is not just structurally racist, but also extractive. It has to be obolished and replaced with something that is based on commonsense.

U.S. officials are reportedly pressing China over delays in indium phosphide export approvals, as the material becomes a bottleneck for AI data center buildouts.

Reuters says Coherent CEO Jim Anderson raised the issue during a U.S. business delegation trip to China in May, and it was also discussed in U.S.-China trade talks in Seoul.

FWIW: InP is critical for photonic chips used in high-speed AI infrastructure.

AXT $AXTI says InP export permits are its biggest current challenge.

Coherent $COHR warned of an InP shortage in May.

Lumentum $LITE is reportedly sold out through 2028 despite quadrupling output.

6-inch InP wafer prices are up 250% to around $5,000.

@Champ4gneP4ki So are you saying Pakistan and China forgot this, or what exactly? Surely the move had a need otherwise why would they bring it?

[Abnoxiuos @Abnoxiuos]

This is a big policy success actually #IYKYK

[hostyle @mrhostyle]

Not necessarily. Countless examples of failure. Balochistan, the TTP and even now the collapse of the US-Iran ceasefire. The boys can only fight innocent unarmed politicians in Pakistan. That’s about it

Horrible. With Pakistan's high fertility rate, poor state of human capital and uncompetitive industry, its only going to get worse https://t.co/4sxtArtWSg
