To those of you living in free countries, watching the images coming out of Europe, Canada, and America, I feel there's an experience I need to share. Because today's news to you reminds us of a catastrophe we've been paying for for decades. I'm Iranian.
47 years ago, Iran was rich in natural resources, with an educated workforce and rapid development. Living conditions were improving. Women participated freely in public and political life.
Iran helped maintain regional security, commanded international respect, and was a model for developing countries. Then, an Islamist ideology arrived disguised as justice for the oppressed. Islamists, communists, and the radical left formed a deadly alliance and took power.
Then, the Islamists crushed their former allies. The regime imposed Sharia law, stripped away freedoms, and survived through imprisonment, torture, and execution. A country with enormous potential fell into corruption, economic crisis, and mass emigration.
Today, it's known as the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. From the start, the regime openly declared its ambition to export its dark ideology, a threat your governments didn't take seriously. For about 30 years, generations born after the revolution have repeatedly risen up to take their country back.
While we paid with imprisonment, torture, and massacres, your government signed political and economic deals with our oppressors. The regime expanded its networks of influence and propaganda. Today, you see the results in your cities.
Movements like the pro-Palestine movement and socialist Islamists claiming to defend the oppressed while spreading hatred and destruction. I'm Iranian and I'm speaking directly to you. Don't let Islamists use your freedom of speech, your tolerance, and your democratic rights to gain power and then take those freedoms away.
We've paid the price for their promises. Stand with the people still fighting to end this regime. Don't let what happened to us become your future.
To all of my sisters and brothers developing datacenters in Ercot, if Texas turns blue, we have a home for you...

LIVE FROM @MitaTechTalks 🎙️
@lisa_hough_ on reigniting her passion for spreading the Bitcoin message, why data centers could be a massive force for good, and how every conversation with Jeff Booth challenges you to think about Bitcoin in a whole new way.
On my way home from a trip and this would be my typical reception. But I won't get this reception again until I make my final trip home...
If you have a min to offer up a prayer for this little (120 lb) angel, she spent the night in the hospital and will probably be there another night or two as they figure out whats wrong with her. May be pancreatitis.
I may like, or even comment occasionally, but as a rule, I try to stay out of politics on X. There is no upside. Chances of my post changing hearts and minds generally isnt worth the grief.
But in this political season, with so much on the line in the looming mid-terms, I can't remain silent.
This is the only acceptable way to serve chili with beans.

Bitcoin, AI, and energy are all converging; @JeffBooth is going to help us make sense of this, and where the opportunities exist at the upcoming @MitaTechTalks. You'll want to be a part of these conversations -- join us! My DMs are open for questions.
“You will have a frontier AI model on your computer for free.”
@JeffBooth argues that AI is advancing toward near-zero cost so rapidly that the companies spending hundreds of billions of dollars building it may never recover their investments.
He warns that AI giants will increasingly push for regulation to protect their monopolies as open-source models threaten their business models.
Jeff will be speaking at @MitaTechTalks, bringing together just 125 participants for three days of conversations around the future of capital at the intersection of Bitcoin, AI and energy.

SEE SOMETHING. SAY SOMETHING.
Five attackers are now in custody in the UK on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act near RAF Fairford.
And here's the part I want people to pay attention to:
Someone saw THREE suspicious vehicles heading toward the air base and called police. Someone saw something that didn't look right and said something.
You don't have to know you're looking at a terrorist. You don't have to know what they're planning. You just have to recognize when something doesn't make sense and make the call. Make law enforcement do their jobs and figure out the rest.
To distract from the coldcard debacle (I was a user but dodged the bullet) here's some saturday unsolicited dog care commentary.
I fed my girl fresh food I cooked for her but it was alot and still Just took alot of time food prepping at the scale required. Shes a big girl (buck 20)
As a bit of a compromise, I supplement her kibble with about 2 Oz of fresh cooked protein in the morning and the evening. (4 Oz /day) I freeze portions of beef liver, ground beef, and ground chicken in advance, cook in beef tallow while im doing something else, then add to her kibble.
Very low time commitment. I feel better about her diet/nutrition. And she seems better than ever, no weight gain or anything. She chunked up on the 100% home cooked diet.
FYI Beef liver is the cheapest protein in the mix without a sale. And the tallow was rendered off the last brisket I trimmed/smoked. Will last a couple of months in this use.
And another unsolicited comment. Mkt seems flooded with beef short ribs in the current cost environment. Super easy. Kind of a same day brisket

Tomorrow at 3:30 PM, @EIF_Global is giving me a microphone.
My talk is called “Jeremiah and the Jet Pack.”
The people building the future tend to talk about megawatts, models and money.
Jeremiah asked a better question.
There will be no actual jet pack. There may be a point.
Dallas. Come find me.
