The dawn is breaking in Persia. ​Right now, as we move into 2025, the streets of Iran are witnessing a "final battle" moment. This isn't just about inflation or the Rial hitting historic lows—it’s about the unbreakable spirit of a people who have reached the point of "nothing to lose." ​What you need to know in the last 24 hours: ​The Bazaar has Spoken: The Grand Bazaar and tech hubs are SHUT DOWN. When the merchants strike, the regime’s foundation cracks. ​A New Unity: For the first time in decades, the calls for the return of the Monarchy (Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi) are echoing nationwide. This is no longer just a social movement; it is a national identity reclaiming itself. ​"Iran First": The people are rejecting proxy wars. The chants "Palestine and Gaza, both should die for Iran" send a clear message: Take care of our people first. ​Unmatched Bravery: From girls risking everything on the front lines to symbolic acts of defiance in the face of tear gas—the "Woman, Life, Freedom" spark has turned into a wildfire. ​As a physician, I see the pulse of a nation. It is fast, it is strong, and it is demanding to live. ​History is being written in real-time. We cannot be silent. We are the digital bridge for those whose voices are being throttled by censorship. ​HOW TO HELP: 1️⃣ SHARE this post to break the media blackout. 2️⃣ AMPLIFY the hashtags #IranProtests #KingRezaPahlavi #IranRevolution2025. 3️⃣ TAG @WhiteHouse—demand they acknowledge the Iranian people’s right to self-determination. ​The world is watching. The fire is rising. 🦁☀️ ​#FreeIran #Iran2026

Across the chaotic immensity of time and space exist an infinite number of museums; in the centre of each museum is a gallery; in the centre of each gallery is a basilisk, waiting patiently. @ricjournal @dharlanwilson @alien_ecologies ricjournal.com/2024/11/17/th…

It's weird, I see all these people talking to algorithms this morning (ChatGTP, Grok, etc.) and I wonder at the pure projection rituals of anthropomorphism on display. Humans love to imagine code is alive. Strange.

the National Science Foundation, an agency that once treated anything UFO adjacent as a contaminant. ... An institution that once enforced the taboo is now constructing the new UAP orthodoxy.

for what Gary McKinnon allegedly did. It is remarkable for how violently the system reacted to it. He was a lone British hacker with a dial-up connection and an obsessive belief that NASA and American defense agencies were hiding evidence of extraterrestrial vehicles.
