"Evolution pissed off Toriyama so much, he made Battle of Gods! We should thank Evolution for DBS"

First, from the Battle of Gods Anime Comics 2013 interview:
The script was already done by Yusuke Watanabe and they already had production material for 'Super Saiyan God' and 'Beerus', which were originally designed by Tadayoshi Yamamuro until Toriyama redrew and rewrote them and created Whis. 2/4
Toriyama felt disrespected w/ Evolution and decided to get involved w/ Battle of Gods, which was already being made WITHOUT HIM.
From the same interview: he had NO PLANS for anything after Battle of Gods UNTIL he came up with Resurrection F a year later. 3/4

Testament to how fast dictatorships can collapse, in 1989, Nicolae Ceaușescu delivered what would be his final speech, addressing 100k people he forcibly gathered there.
In one of the most iconic moments of modern history, he will lose control of the crowd.🧵

Bucharest would soon be engulfed in revolution, with an ever increasing number of people taking to the streets in the following hours. To the sound of "DEATH TO THE TYRANT!", people begin to carve the communist coat of arms out of the Romanian flags they were carrying.
Much like he did in what was at that point the free city of Timisoara, Ceausescu gives the order to drown the city in blood. Soon, the regime's soldiers and tanks would begin to fire on the unarmed masses of protesters, leading them to chant "WE WILL DIE AND WILL BE FREE!".
Three major misunderstandings are distorting the Iran War
These three represent lingering hopes for a quick victory
But hoping Iran will bail us out is not a strategy
This war is entering a long strategic game—and we need to see how it actually works

Misunderstanding #1: “The war is mainly about Iran’s military capabilities”
No. The war right now is a race
A race between the rising global price of oil and Iran’s shrinking supply of drones
The U.S. can destroy drones, but fast enough to head off months of $120 p/b oil?
If oil prices rise faster than Iran’s drone arsenal falls, Iran wins the race
That’s Iran’s leverage

Misunderstanding #2: “This war will end quickly”
Washington says the conflict could end in weeks
But war is a two-actor game
Iran has no incentive to reopen Hormuz before U.S. politics turns toxic
By summer, the war becomes a political crisis in Washington
That’s Iran’s timing

Iran has developed and sought to implement a multi-pronged theory of how it will defeat the United States and Israel in a major, existential conflict. This theory is that inflicting enough political and economic pain upon the United States, Israel, and America’s Gulf allies will make the combined force cease its operations.
The Iranians have developed five lines of effort to compel the United States and Israel to end the war: drone and ballistic missile attacks to inflict US and Israeli casualties and economic damage in the Gulf; drone, missile, and naval attacks including mines to disrupt shipping in the Persian Gulf; proxy attacks from Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed groups; global terrorism; and cyber attacks on critical infrastructure.
The US-Israeli combined campaign has focused on stopping drone, ballistic missile, and traditional naval attacks most urgently because these assets are the most essential Iranian tools that Tehran needs to execute its strategy.
Both aerial and naval drones remain a threat to shipping and oil infrastructure in the Gulf, and the threat of Iranian mining of the Strait remains real, if complex.
The combined force will likely knock the drone and missile threat down to levels that would permit renewed maritime transit through the Strait if the current campaign succeeds in its aims, but oil and shipping prices depend in part on the risk tolerance of third parties, so even an immediate end to the Iranian threat may not cause prices to drop quickly.

2/ Iran’s military weakness relative to the United States led it to adopt an asymmetric strategy against Washington that seeks to outlast Washington rather than to militarily defeat it outright. Iran has likely calculated that if the five lines of effort outlined in the post above cause US casualties, drive up oil prices, and impose economic costs on both the US and its Gulf allies, the United States and Israel would make a political decision to end the war without achieving their objectives.
Iran’s naval and aerial drones, missiles, and fast attack craft are the critical requirements for its approach, however. These assets can cause the most lasting damage to oil markets and the most consistent and highest casualties and thus impose the most severe political pressure. Global terrorism, cyber attacks, and proxy attacks are less effective and impose only limited political pressure on the US government. Naval mines, which could close the strait, will be cleared in time.

Naval mines, which could close the strait, will be cleared in time.
3/ The US-Israeli combined campaign, which has focused on stopping missile and drone attacks as soon as possible, is successfully limiting attacks on US partners and interests in the region. The combined force began this effort on the first day of the campaign, and it has gradually decreased Iran’s ability to fire missiles and drones.
A senior Israeli military official said that Israel has destroyed or rendered combat ineffective between 260 and 290 of an estimated 410 to 440 launchers. The Iranian missile force troops are reportedly also demoralized, deserting, and refusing orders, according to Israeli intelligence.
The campaign has struck drone launchers, though neither the United States nor Israel has released information about the numbers or type of drone targets struck. Iranian ballistic missile and drone launches have, in any case, decreased gradually since the beginning of the war.
Some individual drones have penetrated air defenses and caused politically unacceptable damage to oil infrastructure, but the overall trend in attacks is overwhelmingly positive.

A massive foreign influence operation using coordinated disinformation from at least South Asia based accounts is spreading a false narrative that Israeli PM Netanyahu is dead. I will expose this infoOp in this thread. 🧵
Dozens of accounts including @RussianSnappy @ChhinaArmy @MrkhameneiSpoof and @IranMediaNow are pushing this information operation and achieving 8.2, 5.7 and 6.3 million views respectively. These accounts are coordinating messaging, imagery and timing to a degree. They are all based outside of the US, possibly in South Asia.
Of course a VPN could be used but maybe X's Head Of Product @nikitabier can look into it deeper. India, Pakistan and Indonesia are well known for their bot networks and sock puppet account enterprises so those countries are top suspects.
A Russian milblogger is complaining that soldiers have been ordered to ditch Telegram for the FSB-controlled MAX, with military police checking phones. "Anyone caught with Telegram gets sent on a one-way assault mission," he writes.
Meanwhile, a Moscow university is threatening to withhold diplomas from students who refuse to install the FSB-controlled MAX. No app, no diploma via the state portal, Russian media reports.

The reason $FIGR is so fascinating to me even though it's a blockchain company is that blockchain here is treated as technology used to optimize real-world processes on existing real-world assets.
This is not a "making new assets" company at its core.
So let's dive into the various use cases, starting with the most fundamental one- the Loan Origination System.

The LOS (loan origination system) is where $FIGR uses blockchain and modern tech to make the secured loan origination process much faster.
Just like $KLAR, $UPST, $AFRM and others used tech to enable a smarter and faster underwriting process, $FIGR is doing something similar.
This time- it's for secured loans, starting with HELOCs and mortgages.

The LOS digitizes the entire underwriting process: credit, income, and property checks.
While the credit and income parts are similar to what unsecured lenders already do digitally, the property part is where $FIGR really innovates.
Instead of a manual appraisal process- they use Automated Valuation Models (AVMs).
Instead of a manual search of county records for existing liens and ownership history- they use digital title and lien matching.
