5 years ago, dLocal went public. It's been an amazing ride. TPV grew a staggering 18x, while staying profitable and strengthening the business in every possible way. Most amazingly, growth continues to accelerate. Could not be more proud of the team led by Seba and then Pedro
Hello @AOC, while you smiled in a hijab at a New York event, I was in Federal Court facing the 4th hitman hired by the Islamic Republic to assassinate me, for campaigning for Iranian women to have the same freedom you performed for a photo op. Will you come to court with me in August when I face the 5th hitman? Or does solidarity only work when it doesn't offend the Islamic regime?
You wore hijab voluntarily in New York. Women are killed in Iran for taking it off.
You are the very woman who, at every opportunity, protests against violence against women, decries gender segregation, and champions "inclusion." Yet here you stand, smiling and wearing a hijab, at an event in New York, in the heart of the West, where men and women are strictly separated. To me and millions of Iranian women, this does not look like a choice. It is no longer "My body, my choice," but rather "My body for votes."
They who claim to fight for women's self-determination in the name of feminism voluntarily embrace an ideology that mandates our women cover their hair simply because they are women. They enjoy the prosperity, freedom, and privileges of the Western world, where they may live as autonomous individuals , yet they simultaneously accept that other women should not be afforded the same rights.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
I'm a middle eastern historian. My own family were made refugees. And this is my honest view of the Nakba (“catastrophe”) - the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1947–49 war surrounding the creation of Israel.
A thread. 🧵
“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her?
What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’?
What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals?
How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone?
The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.”

Beautiful Danielle Waldman, daughter of Eyal Waldman. She was murdered on October 7th by Hamas terrorists at just 24 years old. May her memory be a blessing.
Prior to October 7th, Eyal opened a design centre in Gaza, donated $360,000 to a hospital there, and created jobs for Palestinians both in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank. When asked if he regretted this decision after his daughter’s murder, his response was as follows:
‘No, I don't. I think we need to do everything we can to make this place the best place to live in. And we need to stop killing each other and find a way to live together. I have been working for two-and-half decades trying to make peace.’
A tragedy indeed that a man of such profound goodness - whom we all should endeavour to emulate - is treated with such hatred and contempt.
FOOTAGE: When Hamas kidnapped 9-year-old Ela Elyakim on 10/7, they were taken to a house in Gaza.
"Do everything we say, or we will kill you" the Palestinians told Ela and her older sis Dafna.
They forced Ela to record this while in captivity.
Never forget Hamas kidnapped children🎗️
They hanged him💔
The regim Executes 21-Year-Old karate athlete at dawn Thursday in Prison after Iran’s Supreme Court upheld a death sentence on charges of “enmity against God.”
His crime?
Joining nationwide protests in January 2026.
Security forces reportedly surrounded his body after the execution and buried him under heavy security, preventing any public mourning.
The United States and the international community must make clear: there can be no normalization, no meaningful engagement, while this regime continues to execute young men and women for demanding freedom.#StopExecutionsInIran
If you're shocked by today's stabbing terror attack on British Jews, you must have been living under a rock for the past few years.
Not a single one of the men who drove through North London in 2021 shouting “F*** the Jews, f*** their daughters, f*** their mothers, rape their daughters and free Palestine" were prosecuted. Not one.
So why is anyone surprised when British Jews are stabbed in broad daylight a few years later? The message went out loud and clear that anti-semitism was allowed on our streets. You reap what you sow.

Brazilians have always paid in installments. The problem was never willingness; it was access. 🇧🇷
60% of low-income Brazilians don't have a credit card. BNPL closes that gap.

Lo único que siempre, pero siempre ¿eh?, me saca de quicio es por qué consideramos normal la excelencia en el deporte y la execramos y desalentamos cuando se trata de la educación.
