The difference between those who have everything and those with nothing in this world is heartbreaking 💔

History didn’t begin on October 7!
Years of crimes. Years of plunder. Years of captivity.
All done by Israel.
Operation Al Aqsa Flood brought the dream of Palestine back to life,
and exposed you to the world for what you are...
Free Palestine 🇵🇸✊

Incredibly emotional watching this because I’m painfully aware that “the good old days” are right now.
At 42 I have a perfectly imperfect life with a wonderful wife and two great kids. I don’t long for my younger years. I want to freeze time right now.

Just saw an Instagram reel that said:
“At some point you become the age that your parents were in your childhood memories, only you don’t feel like an adult, and you realize your parents were still just kids trying to figure it out too”
And that shit just fucked me up.

What Actually Triggered the Nepal–Tibet Border Flash Flood?
A massive ice and rock avalanche from a glacier triggered a chain reaction near the Nepal–China border. The avalanche and debris blocked the river, forming a temporary barrier lake. When the blockage gave way, a powerful surge of water, mud and debris rushed downstream, causing devastating flash floods across Gyirong in Tibet and Nepal’s Rasuwa district.
GLACIAL COLLAPSE → DEBRIS BLOCKAGE → TEMPORARY BARRIER LAKE → BREACH → DEVASTATING FLASH FLOOD 🌊🏔️

CZ said it better than anyone:
"The currency for AI is crypto. AI is not gonna swipe a card, enter an SMS code. That doesn't work for AI."
That was our conversation at Token2049 in Dubai last year. Every month since has made it truer... more agents arriving, all needing to hold value, receive value and move it without a person in the loop.
Think about what those payments actually look like. Instant and tiny, thousands of them a second, between counterparties that are not human. Two day bank settlement doesn't work for that. Card rails don't work for that.
Theres only one set of rails on earth built for that. Its staggeringly clear.

I don't give a fuck if you've lost every job and nobody likes you and you're 39. You're not even at halftime. You're just losing right now. You're not a loser.

14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.
And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.
I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.
Happy Birthday, XRP!

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 The Wall Street Journal just dropped a bombshell report on the inside story of the Iran war...
The key revelations:
Trump used to call the Middle East "blood and sand" and wanted nothing to do with it.
Then Netanyahu gave him a "persuasive February briefing" in the Situation Room, backed by repeated calls from Lindsey Graham, and Trump changed his mind.
He thought it would be as easy as Venezuela.
Trump was "in awe" of the scale of the bombs, watching clips of explosions every morning.
But he did "little to sell the American public on the war" and grew frustrated when he didn't get praised for it.
His own team showed him midterm polling that proved the war was dragging down Republican candidates.
He "quickly began ruminating on how the military action could turn into a catastrophe."
On the Strait: Trump told his team before the war that Iran would "likely capitulate before closing the strait."
His advisers were "caught off guard" that tanker traffic stopped so quickly.
Trump later "marveled at the ease with which the strait was closed," saying "a guy with a drone can shut it down."
By late March, before the F-15 was even shot down, Trump ordered his team to find a way to start talks.
The war was already over in his mind weeks before the ceasefire.
His aides begged him to stop doing impromptu interviews because he was contradicting himself publicly.
He agreed to stop, then went right back to calling reporters.
The April 1 address to the nation was Susie Wiles' idea to "reassure the country Trump had a plan."
Trump didn't want to do it because, in his own words, he couldn't declare victory and didn't know where it was going.
This report paints a picture of a president who was talked into a war by Netanyahu and Graham, realized it was a mistake within weeks, spent the rest of the conflict looking for the exit, and was frustrated that nobody would give him credit along the way.
The war was an impulse, sold by an ally with different objectives, enabled by advisers who couldn't say no, and sustained by a president who was too proud to admit the mistake until the economy forced his hand.
🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 "Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards" to "A whole civilization will die tonight"... the real story behind Trump's two most shocking posts
The WSJ's inside account finally reveals what was happening when Trump sent the posts that stunned the world.
Six hours before the Easter morning Hormuz post, at 2 AM, he'd received word that the second F-15 airman had been rescued from Iran after a 24-hour operation that could have turned into the lowest point of his presidency.
Trump wasn't even in the Situation Room during the rescue.
Aides deliberately kept him out because they believed his impatience would hurt the operation.
He got updates by phone.
He finally went to bed after 2 AM.
Six hours later, he was back at it.
"Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell." With "Praise be to Allah" added on Easter morning.
Republican senators and Christian leaders flooded the White House with calls.
Why the F-word? Why an Islamic prayer on Easter?
An adviser asked him about it. Trump said the Allah idea was his own.
He wanted to sound "as unstable and insulting as possible" because he thought it would bring Iran to the table.
The language, he said, the Iranians would understand.
Then he asked aides: "How's it playing?"
Three days later came the civilization-ending post.
Also improvisational. Also not part of any national security plan.
Rubio privately told others the language might actually work.
Ninety minutes before the deadline, Trump announced the ceasefire.
The madman theory of diplomacy, running live on Truth Social.
Chaos as strategy. Profanity as policy.
And somehow, 10 days later, the war is closer to ending than anyone thought possible...

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran didn't win the war militarily. It won it strategically. And that's the kind of victory that lasts.
Tehran's goal was never to defeat the U.S. Air Force. It was to survive long enough for the economic pain to become unbearable for Washington.
38 days of closing Hormuz, spiking oil to $115, rattling every Gulf economy, and making Americans feel the war at the gas pump.
One analyst put it simply: "They made sure the war was felt in the U.S. I don't think Trump's going to try that again."
That sentence is the entire outcome of this war in 15 words.
Iran emerged with two things it didn't have on February 28th.
De facto control over the Strait of Hormuz with a framework to monetize it.
And a proven deterrent that makes any future large-scale attack carry a price tag no American president will want to pay.
The U.S. and Israel struck 12,300+ targets, sank much of Iran's navy, killed its Supreme Leader, and degraded its missile stockpiles.
By every traditional military metric, they dominated.
And yet the ceasefire happened on a timeline Trump didn't choose, under conditions Iran proposed, with the Strait still in Tehran's hands.
This is the part that should concern everyone most.
The regime emerged more hardline, not less.
The IRGC has more power than before the war.
The new Supreme Leader is taking a harder stance than his father.
And the protesters who rose up hoping American bombs would bring freedom are now being hunted as potential spies.
The war was supposed to weaken Iran and strengthen American leverage.
Iran is now collecting tolls on the world's most important waterway.
The war was supposed to create conditions for regime change.
The regime is more entrenched than ever. The war was supposed to end Iran's nuclear ambitions. Tehran says it will keep enriching.
Every stated objective failed.
The one unstated objective, Hormuz leverage over China, was handed to Iran instead.
